“Core Earnings” from the FFELP Loans segment were $307 million in 2012, compared with $434 million
and $557 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in 2012 compared with 2011 is primarily due to
the declining balance of FFELP Loans and lower net interest margin as a result of an increase in the cost of
funds. The decrease in 2011 compared with 2010 is primarily due to the $321 million gain from the sale of loans
in 2010 that did not occur in 2011, which was partially offset by an increase in net interest margin as a result of
an increase in Floor Income due to lower interest rates. Key financial measures include:
Net interest margin of .84 percent in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with .98 percent and
.93 percent for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. (See “FFELP Loans Net
Interest Margin” for further discussion.)
The provision for loan losses continued to decline over the past two years as a result of improved credit
performance.
