QuarterlyEarningsReports3

Bank of America reported a loss of $1.8 billion for Q4 2008. This was due to capital markets dislocation charges of $4.6 billion and a $8.5 billion provision for credit losses, which included a $3 billion increase in loan loss reserves. Despite the loss, pre-provision profits were up in most primary businesses from Q3 2008. Total average deposits grew by $34.3 billion. The company also raised common equity and received capital from the TARP program. Credit costs were higher due to the deteriorating economy and rising unemployment.
