FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Collegiate
Funding Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFSI) today reported that net income
for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005, was $14.9 million,
or 46 cents per diluted share, compared with net income of $17.7
million, or 55 cents per diluted share, for the fourth quarter
ended December 31, 2004. (Logo:

Full-year 2005 net income rose to $38.6 million, or $1.20 per
diluted share, compared with net income of $28.6 million, or $1.05
per diluted share, for the full-year 2004. Fourth Quarter 2005
Results Net Income. Net income was $14.9 million, or 46 cents per
diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2005, compared with $17.7
million, or 55 cents per diluted share, for the same period of
2004. The decrease in net income reflects lower fee income due to
rate reductions, as well as a net increase in operating expenses,
which were partially offset by higher interest income. Loan
Originations. Loan originations totaled $1.4 billion for fourth
quarter 2005, compared with $1.5 billion originated in the same
period of 2004. Of the total originations, federally guaranteed
loans under the FFEL Program totaled $1.3 billion, compared with
$1.4 billion in last year's fourth quarter, and private loan
originations totaled $144.4 million for fourth quarter 2005,
compared with $119.1 million in the same period of 2004. The
company's portfolio of loans totaled $6.1 billion at December 31,
2005, compared with $4.7 billion at December 31, 2004. Loans
Serviced. The total amount of student loans serviced was $11.0
billion at December 31, 2005, compared with $10.9 billion at
December 31, 2004 and $12.1 billion at September 30, 2005. The
December 31, 2005, amount reflects the termination of the servicing
agreement with Educaid(R), Wachovia Education Finance, which
resulted in the loss of $1.8 billion in volume in the fourth
quarter of 2005. Net Revenue. Net revenue was $63.3 million for
fourth quarter 2005, compared with $66.6 million in the same period
of 2004. Interest income rose to $86.5 million from $44.7 million
in last year's fourth quarter as a result of an increase in the
company's portfolio of federally guaranteed and private loans and
higher average interest rates. Interest expense increased to $67.0
million for fourth quarter 2005, compared with $27.8 million for
the same period a year ago, primarily as a result of higher
interest rates. Fee income was $41.9 million for fourth quarter
2005, compared with $50.4 million for the same period a year ago.
The decline in fee income was primarily the result of reduced
prices on loan sales. Fee income for the fourth quarter of 2005
includes the sale of approximately $250 million of federal
consolidation loans to JPMorgan Chase, N.A., under a loan sale
agreement that was signed in the third quarter of 2005. On December
16, 2005, the company's subsidiary, CFS-SunTech Servicing LLC, was
awarded the Department of Education's Exceptional Performer
designation. The designation is effective for the period from
January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and enables CFS-SunTech to
receive 100 percent of the unpaid principal and interest on claims
during that period, rather than the standard 98 percent; however,
under the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, the
applicable percentages will be reduced to 99 percent and 97
percent, effective July 1, 2006. The company recorded a reversal of
loan losses of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005,
resulting from revisions to assumptions used to estimate the
reserve and the impact of the Exceptional Performer designation.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses, which include salaries,
marketing, and other selling, general and administrative expenses,
were $39.1 million for fourth quarter 2005 compared with $37.6
million for the same period a year ago. The increase is due to
higher marketing and other selling, general and administrative
expense, partially offset by lower salaries and related expenses.
Derivatives. The net effect of swap interest and derivative and
investment mark-to-market valuations was income of $30,000 fourth
quarter 2005, versus income of $452,000 for the same period a year
ago. Full-Year 2005 Results Net income. Net income for 2005 rose to
$38.6 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, compared with net income
of $28.6 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, for 2004, reflecting
a 14 percent increase in net revenue. This increase reflects higher
net interest income and fee income for the full year 2005. Loan
Originations. Loan originations totaled $4.8 billion for full-year
2005, compared with $4.4 billion originated in 2004. Federally
guaranteed loans under the FFEL Program amounted to $4.2 billion,
compared with $4.0 billion in 2004, and private loans amounted to
$578.9 million for the full- year 2005, compared with $417.1
million for 2004. Net Revenue. Net revenue was $225.7 million for
full-year 2005, compared with $198.4 million for 2004. Net revenue
growth was driven by an increase in net interest income to $72.4
million for the full year 2005 from $62.9 million for the full year
2004 and an increase in fee income to $155.6 million for the
full-year of 2005 from $136.4 million for 2004. Partnerships. At
the end of 2005, the company had 1,271 school and affinity
partnerships, a net increase of 223 since December 31, 2004.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses, which include salaries,
marketing, and other selling, general and administrative expenses
were $159.2 million for full-year 2005, compared with $145.0
million for 2004. Derivatives. The net effect of swap interest and
derivative and investment mark-to-market valuations was income of
$1.3 million for full-year 2005, versus income of $2.1 million for
2004. Debt Extinguishment. The 2005 period includes a charge of
$4.3 million for debt extinguishment related to auction rate
certificates that were replaced with a portion of the proceeds from
an offering of floating-rate debt. Dividend Accretion. The 2005
period net income also reflected no charge for the accretion of
dividends on preferred stock versus a $4.8 million charge for 2004.

following table sets forth the net portfolio margin on average
student loans and restricted cash for the periods indicated. Net
portfolio margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net portfolio
margin equals the weighted average yield on our loans and
restricted cash after amortization of capitalized origination costs
and purchase accounting adjustments, less the weighted average
interest expense on the debt we incur to finance our loans. We have
provided below a reconciliation of net portfolio margin to the most
comparable financial measurement that has been prepared in
accordance with GAAP. We believe that net portfolio margin provides
investors with information that is useful in evaluating the
earnings performance of our loan portfolio. Three months ended
