http://www.finanznachrichten.de/...ng-solutions-joint-venture-008.htm

CINCINNATI and BOSTON, March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fifth Third Bancorp (News) and Advent International announced today that they have signed a definitive agreement whereby Advent International will acquire a 51% interest in Fifth Third's processing business through the establishment of a joint venture that values the new company at approximately $2.35 billion before valuation adjustments by either party. Fifth Third will retain the remaining 49 percent interest in the new company, Fifth Third Processing Solutions, LLC.

Pursuant to the agreement, Fifth Third Bank (OH), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Fifth Third Bancorp, will contribute the assets and operations of Fifth Third's merchant acquiring and financial institutions processing businesses to a new limited liability company ("LLC"). The LLC's capitalization prior to the purchase of this interest will include senior secured notes payable to subsidiaries of Fifth Third in the amount of $1.25 billion. Advent will pay Fifth Third $561 million in cash for a 51 percent ownership interest in the equity of the LLC and for certain put rights. Additionally, Fifth Third will receive warrants in the new company exercisable in certain circumstances.

Wie der Finanzkonzern am Donnerstag erklärte, wurde im Berichtszeitraum ein Nettoverlust von 26 Mio.

Dollar in Zusammenhang mit den zuletzt aus dem staatlichen Bankenrettungsprogramm in Anspruch genommenen Mitteln hätte der Konzern im Schlussquartal einen Nettogewinn von 50 Mio. Dollar verbucht.

UPDATE 3-Fifth Third loss is smaller than expected

NEW YORK, April 23 (Reuters) - Fifth Third Bancorp (News) posted a narrower-than-expected first-quarter loss despite taking hits on commercial loans, home mortgages and home equity loans.

The large Midwest regional bank posted a net loss of $26 million, or 4 cents a share, compared with a profit of $286 million, or 54 cents a share, a year earlier.

Excluding one-time items, including a reduction in income tax expense after settling a dispute with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service over leveraged leases, the bank lost 22 cents a share. On that basis, analysts on average expected a loss of 28 cents a share.

'Given the current economic environment, we continue to feel good about the core operations and earnings power of the bank,' said Chief Executive Kevin Kabat.

Like Wells Fargo&Co and U.S. Bancorp, which also reported quarterly results this week, Fifth Third said it saw high mortgage origination volumes in the first quarter. Its mortgage banking revenue climbed to $134 million from $97 million a year earlier.

Fifth Third issued $3.45 billion in preferred stock under the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program last year. It said it paid $76 million in preferred dividends in the first quarter.

The bank slashed its dividend last year after losses rose from its exposure in the Midwest, hard hit by the auto industry's troubles, and Florida, a center of the real estate downturn. These areas continue to account for most of its commercial and residential real estate losses, the bank said on Thursday.

The bank's shares climbed 11 percent to $4.10 in premarket trade. Through Wednesday, the shares had fallen 55 percent this year.

Fifth Third, Key stock performance could indicate stress test results

If investor action on Monday is any indication of the results of the federal government’s stress tests of the 19 largest U.S. banks, Fifth Third Bancorp is in decent shape and KeyCorp might not have done as well.

Government officials gave preliminary results to representatives from each of the banks Friday. The banks aren’t allowed to talk publicly about the tests, which aim to gauge their ability to withstand worsening economic conditions. But Wall Street’s speculation, if not information, points to Cleveland-based KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY), Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE: COF) and Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE: RF) as the three banks likely to take the worst hit from the results.

Investors should buy Fifth Third Bancorp’s stock, an FBR Capital Markets Corp. banking analyst said Monday in restarting coverage of the downtown-based bank’s stock.

Fifth Third’s strong capital position and a view that it could rebound from banking industry problems faster than its industry peers caused FBR Capital Markets analyst Paul Miller to relaunch his firm’s coverage of Fifth Third (NASDAQ: FITB) stock with an “outperform” rating and a $12 price target. Fifth Third’s stock closed Oct. 12 at $10.19. The rating means Miller expects Fifth Third’s stock to do better than those of its industry peers over the next 12 to 18 months.

Fifth Third’s capital levels are stronger than its peers, Miller said in a research report. Its tangible common equity level of 6.7 percent of assets tops peer banks’ 6.1 percent ratio. The bank raised $1.5 billion in capital earlier this year after the federal government completed its stress tests of major banks. On top of that, it sold 51 percent of its payment processing business for $1.1 billion, further bolstering capital.

“We believe that the company’s capital levels provide adequate cushion for credit losses, and we are confident that the bank will be a survivor of this credit crisis,” Miller said.

Commercial loans, which tend to cause the most problems for banks late in economic cycles, make up 58 percent of Fifth Third’s loan portfolio. Analysts expects that category to cause the next set of major problems for banks. But Fifth Third is in better position than most, Miller said.

“We are less concerned about Fifth Third’s commercial loan book, versus those of peers, as we believe

that the company has been proactive in addressing problem credits,” he wrote in the report.

Fifth Third, Cincinnati’s largest locally based bank and one of the nation’s 15 largest banks, has $116 billion in assets and runs 1,318 banking centers.
