FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                          GOLDEN STATE BANCORP REPORTS
                       FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAREND RESULTS

      --Quarterly net operating earnings up 53 percent over last year--
     --Fiscal year net operating earnings up 50 percent over last year--
        --Checking account deposits grow 51 percent year over year--
                   --Credit quality continues to improve--

          GLENDALE, CA, July 21, 1998 - Golden State Bancorp (NYSE:GSB), parent
company of Glendale Federal Bank, today reported net earnings for the fiscal
1998 fourth quarter ended June 30 of $39.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share.
This compares to net earnings of $24.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for
the 1997 fiscal fourth quarter.  Net earnings for fiscal 1998 were $128.7
million, or $1.78 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $50.4
million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for fiscal 1997.

          Excluding non-recurring items described below and their related tax
impact, 1998 fourth quarter net operating earnings would have been $43.5
million, or $0.57 per diluted share, a 53 percent improvement over the previous
year's fourth quarter net operating earnings of $28.4 million, or $0.42 per
diluted share.  Net operating earnings for fiscal 1998 would have been $143.8
million, or $1.99 per diluted share, a 50 percent increase over the net
operating earnings for fiscal 1997 of $96.2 million, or $1.43 per diluted share.

          Stephen J. Trafton, chairman and chief executive officer, commented,
"This is the company's fifth consecutive year of improved operating results,
reflecting the momentum that continues to build within our company.  The growth
in our business lines includes both higher loan originations and increased
demand deposit accounts, fueling an increase in net interest margins and higher
fee income over last year.  Credit quality continues to improve as non-
performing assets, delinquent loans and charge-offs continued to decline from
the prior quarter and year to reach the lowest levels in over a decade.

          "This quarter's earnings also reflect significant progress toward the
accomplishment of the intermediate-term goals we set for ourselves just one year
ago.  For example, our annualized operating return on average assets was nearly
one percent this quarter, and our annualized operating return on average equity
for the quarter was 13.5 percent, compared to our goals of one percent and 15
percent, respectively.  Our interest rate spread of 2.89 percent was close to
our goal of 3.00 percent and our ratio of checking accounts to total deposits at
the end of the quarter

                                      -2-


was 17 percent, approaching our 20 percent goal. The ratio of non-performing
assets to total assets of 0.74 percent was well below our goal of one percent."

          Non-recurring items in the fiscal 1998 fourth quarter results included
pre-tax restructuring charges of $3.5 million related to recent acquisitions and
the distribution of Golden State's Litigation Tracking Warrants(TM) (LTW(TM)s),
and pre-tax legal expenses of $3.8 million related to Glendale Federal's
supervisory goodwill litigation against the federal government. Non-recurring
items in the fiscal 1997 fourth quarter results included a $3.2 million pre-tax
reversal of a portion of the bank's Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF)
special assessment accrual and pre-tax goodwill litigation expenses of $10.3
million.

          Non-recurring items in fiscal 1998 included $19.0 million in pre-tax
legal expenses related to the bank's goodwill litigation and $6.9 million in
restructuring charges related to acquisitions and the distribution of LTW(TM)s.
Non-recurring items in fiscal 1997 included a pre-tax charge of $55.5 million
for the special SAIF assessment and pre-tax legal expenses for the goodwill
litigation of $24.1 million. In addition, preferred stock conversions reduced
earnings by $0.07 per diluted share in fiscal 1997.

          The bank's annualized return on average assets for the fiscal 1998
fourth quarter was 0.88 percent, compared with 0.62 percent in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1997.  Excluding non-recurring items, the annualized return on
average assets for the fiscal 1998 fourth quarter was 0.98 percent, compared
with 0.73 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.  The bank's annualized
return on average equity for the fiscal 1998 fourth quarter was 12.19 percent,
compared with 9.64 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.  Excluding non-
recurring items, the annualized return on average equity for the fiscal 1998
fourth quarter was 13.50 percent, compared with 11.27 percent in the 1997 fiscal
fourth quarter.

          Returns on average assets and average equity for fiscal 1998 were 0.78
percent and 11.42 percent, respectively, compared with 0.33 percent and 5.14
percent, respectively, last year.  Excluding non-recurring items, return on
average assets was 0.87 percent in fiscal 1998 and return on average equity was
12.76 percent, compared with a return on average assets of 0.63 percent and a
return on average equity of 9.81 percent last year.

          Trafton commented, "Our return on average assets continued to grow in
fiscal 1998.  Our pre-tax reported and operating returns on average assets for
fiscal 1998 were 1.34 percent and 1.49 percent, respectively."

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

          Net interest income totaled $119.7 million in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1998, up 19.8 percent from $99.9 million in the comparable quarter last
year, and up 11.2 percent from the $107.7 million in the previous quarter.  The
increase in net interest income in the current quarter was primarily due to the
combination of a decrease in the cost of funds as a result of increased
<PAGE>
 
                                      -3-

checking and demand deposits and a higher balance of interest-earning assets,
including those acquired in the recent acquisition of CENFED Financial
Corporation. Net interest income totaled $440.2 million for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998, an increase of 16.1 percent over the corresponding 1997
period amount of $379.0 million.

          The bank's interest rate spread at June 30, 1998 increased 21 basis
points to 2.89 percent from the 2.68 percent reported at June 30, 1997, but was
down 6 basis points from the previous quarter end.  Adjusted for the dollar
amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the
interest rate spread was 2.99 percent at June 30, 1998, compared with 2.79
percent at June 30, 1997 and 3.08 percent at March 31, 1998.  The decrease in
the interest rate spread over the previous quarter was primarily due to a
decline in the yield on interest-earning assets, reflecting the prepayment of
higher-yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities, and to the effect of the
acquisition of CENFED Financial.

          Trafton commented, "The current interest rate environment has made it
difficult for thrift institutions to increase their mortgage loan portfolios due
to prepayments of existing loans and borrowers' preference for fixed rate loans.
However, our aggressive focus on the acquisition of checking accounts and the
addition of prime rate-based business and consumer lending relationships has
helped offset the recent margin pressure created by mortgage loan prepayments
and has contributed to the steady increase in our fee income.  The addition of
checking accounts will help to mitigate the effect of loan prepayments in any
interest rate cycle and allow us to add a valuable customer base that can be
built upon in future years."

CREDIT COSTS AND ASSET QUALITY
- ------------------------------

          The company recorded a credit of $2.1 million in the provision for
loan losses in the fiscal 1998 fourth quarter.  Provisions for loan losses were
$3.9 million and a credit of $1.6 million, respectively, in the fiscal 1997
fourth quarter and the fiscal 1998 third quarter.  The company recorded a credit
of $1.7 million in the provision for loan losses for fiscal 1998, versus a
provision of $25.2 million in the year-ago period.  The provision for loan
losses has declined from prior periods primarily because of the improving
California economy and the continued improvement in asset quality.

          Net charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses were $4.7 million in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, compared with $9.1 million a year ago and
$7.4 million last quarter.  For fiscal 1998, net charge-offs totaled $22.5
million, compared with $52.3 million in fiscal 1997.  The annualized ratio of
net charge-offs to average loans in the 1998 fiscal fourth quarter was 14 basis
points, versus 31 basis points a year ago and 25 basis points last quarter.  For
fiscal 1998, the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 18 basis points,
versus 46 basis points in fiscal 1997.

          Non-performing assets, which include non-accrual loans and other real
estate owned (REO), totaled $134.3 million at June 30, 1998, or 0.74 percent of
total assets, a 34.5 percent decrease
<PAGE>
 
                                      -4-

from the $205.0 million, or 1.26 percent of total assets, reported at June 30,
1997 and a 2.4 percent decline from the $137.6 million, or 0.86 percent of total
assets, reported at March 31, 1998. Restructured loans totaled $21.5 million at
June 30, 1998, compared with $31.1 million at June 30, 1997 and $20.1 million at
March 31, 1998. Delinquent loans, including those delinquent more than 90 days,
totaled $184.3 million, a 14.4 percent decline from the $215.3 million reported
at June 30, 1997, and a 2.0 percent decline from the $188.0 million reported at
March 31, 1998. The June 30, 1998 data include the effect of the addition of the
CENFED Financial loan portfolios during the quarter. The decrease in non-
performing assets and delinquent loans reflects continued improvement in the
California economy.

          The allowance for loan losses totaled $156.5 million at June 30, 1998,
compared with $163.8 million at June 30, 1997, and $146.4 million at March 31,
1998.  The ratios of allowance to non-accrual loans and total gross loans at
June 30, 1998 were 163 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively, compared with 117
percent and 1.4 percent, respectively, at June 30, 1997.  At March 31, 1998, the
comparable ratios were 142 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively.

          Income from REO operations totaled $1.5 million in the current
quarter, compared with a loss of $0.7 million in the same quarter last year and
income of $2.8 million in the previous quarter.  Income from REO operations in
fiscal 1998 totaled $3.1 million, versus a loss of $6.6 million in fiscal 1997.
The income reported from REO operations was primarily due to the addition of
fewer REO properties, especially larger non-residential and multi-family
residential properties, than last year, and to recoveries of reserves upon REO
sales.

OTHER INCOME
- ------------

          Loan servicing income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 declined
34.0 percent to $5.5 million from $8.3 million in the same quarter last year,
and declined 8.5 percent from the $6.0 million recorded in the March 31, 1998
quarter.  For fiscal 1998, loan servicing income decreased 15.5 percent to $28.6
million, versus $33.8 million in fiscal 1997.  The decreases in loan servicing
income were principally due to the increased amortization of the loan servicing
assets resulting from higher actual and anticipated repayments of the underlying
servicing portfolio.  If interest rates were to continue to decline
significantly, the company could experience an adverse impact on earnings due to
a shrinking loan servicing portfolio and an impairment to the value of the loan
servicing assets.

          Other fees and service charges for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998
increased by 23.2 percent to $19.3 million, compared with $15.7 million in the
same period last year, and increased by 9.9 percent from the $17.6 million
reported in the previous quarter.  For fiscal 1998, other fees and service
charges increased by 22.2 percent to $69.5 million from $56.9 million in fiscal
1997.  The increase in fee income is primarily a result of increased demand
deposit accounts, an expanded ATM network and higher ATM and loan-related fees.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE AND EFFICIENCY RATIO
- -----------------------------------------

          General and administrative expenses for the 1998 fiscal fourth quarter
were $77.2 million, compared with $67.8 million in the year-ago quarter and
$73.0 million in the previous quarter.  For fiscal 1998, general and
administrative expenses totaled $293.7 million, versus $263.2 million in fiscal
1997.  Factors affecting the increase in expenses included recent acquisitions,
including CENFED Financial, the cost of implementing new business lines, the
cost of technology related to year 2000 systems improvements and new branch
openings.  Excluding these factors, general and administrative expenses for the
1998 fourth quarter and fiscal year were essentially unchanged from a year ago.

          During fiscal 1998, the bank added a net 30 new branches in
California, including opening 18 through de novo expansion and 12 through
acquisitions.  These include a combination of new full-service branches,
supermarket branches and branches inside Kinko's Inc. locations in California.
Trafton commented, "We've invested a considerable amount in building our branch
franchise, as well as expanding our ATM network into off-site locations in
McDonald's restaurants, Kinko's Copy Stores and United Artists Theatres.  While
the expansion has required a considerable investment, the investments we make
today should provide added returns in the future for Golden State Bancorp
stockholders and the new banking company."

          Glendale Federal's efficiency ratio (general and administrative
expenses divided by net interest income plus loan servicing and other fee
income) was 53.4 percent in the 1998 fiscal fourth quarter, versus 54.8 percent
in the comparable quarter last year and 55.6 percent in the 1998 fiscal third
quarter.  For the full 1998 fiscal year, the efficiency ratio was 54.6 percent,
versus 56.0 percent in fiscal 1997.

ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND EQUITY
- ------------------------------

          Glendale Federal's total assets grew by 11.7 percent to $18.1 billion
at June 30, 1998, compared with $16.2 billion at June 30, 1997.  Total assets
were $15.9 billion at March 31, 1998.  The $1.9 billion increase in total assets
during fiscal 1998 was principally due to the acquisition of CENFED Financial in
April 1998 and loan purchases.  Loans receivable increased to $13.8 billion at
June 30, 1998 from $11.9 billion at June 30, 1997.  Deposits totaled $10.7
billion at June 30, 1998, versus the $9.4 billion at June 30, 1997.  The deposit
increase was primarily due to the CENFED Financial acquisition.

          During fiscal 1998, Glendale Federal Bank had one of the fastest
growing checking account bases of any major California bank.  The bank opened
more than 113,800 new accounts, contributing to a 23 percent increase in retail
checking account balances.  Including balances added through acquisitions and
mortgage loan servicing accounts, checking accounts increased 51 percent in
fiscal 1998 to a total of $1.8 billion.
<PAGE>
 
                                      -6-

          "Our extraordinary year-over-year growth in lower-costing checking and
daily access account deposits has not abated," Trafton said.  "Over the past
three years, our checking account deposits have grown an average of 41 percent
each year from a base of $662 million at the end of fiscal 1995.  At June 30,
1998, checking accounts and total daily access accounts represented 17 percent
and 44 percent, respectively, of all deposits, versus 8 percent and 28 percent,
respectively, at June 30, 1995.  This notable growth has made us a leader among
our peers in terms of the proportion of checking and daily access accounts to
total deposits."

          Loan originations in the current quarter were $575.5 million, a 106
percent increase from the $279.2 million booked in the comparable quarter last
year and 51 percent higher than the $381.6 million booked in the previous
quarter.  Loan originations in fiscal 1998 totaled $1.6 billion, a 96 percent
increase from the $817.9 million booked in fiscal 1997.  The increase in loan
originations in the current quarter was primarily due to a decline in interest
rates, resulting in an increase in fixed-rate mortgage lending, and an increase
in business and consumer lending.

          Loan purchases totaled $1.3 billion in the current quarter, compared
with $808.8 million in the same quarter last year and $675.4 million in the
previous quarter.  In fiscal 1998, the bank purchased $2.7 billion in loans,
versus $2.4 billion in fiscal 1997.

          During fiscal 1998, the bank continued to make progress in expanding
its business lines and product offerings.  Commercial loans outstanding
increased to $290.5 million at June 30, 1998, compared with $160.1 million a
year ago and $258.8 million at March 31, 1998.  Consumer loans outstanding rose
to $150.1 million at June 30, 1998, versus $120.7 million a year ago and $137.8
million at March 31, 1998.

          New commitments under commercial lines of credit were $57.1 million
and $276.6 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 1998, respectively,
compared with $40.7 million and $158.9 million, respectively, for the same
periods in fiscal 1997.  New commitments under secured and unsecured consumer
lines of credit were $55.8 million and $171.4 million for the three months and
fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared with $48.8 million and
$150.8 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.

          At June 30, 1998, Glendale Federal's regulatory capital ratios
continued to be in excess of the levels required by federal regulators for "well
capitalized" institutions.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
- -------------------

          FIRST NATIONWIDE MERGER - The Board of Directors has set July 6, 1998
as the record date and August 17, 1998 as the date for the stockholders' meeting
called for Golden State Bancorp shareholders to vote on the company's pending
merger with First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc., indirect parent of
California Federal Bank FSB.

          CENFED FINANCIAL ACQUISITION - Golden State completed its acquisition
of CENFED Financial Corporation on April 21, 1998.  CenFed Bank offices and
accounts were converted to
<PAGE>
 
                                      -7-

those of Glendale Federal on May 8, 1998. CENFED Financial had assets of $1.9
billion and deposits of $1.4 billion. As provided in the merger agreement, 7.4
million shares of Golden State common stock were issued in the transaction.
Goodwill recorded in the merger totaled $90.5 million, which is being amortized
over 15 years.

          REDFED BANCORP ACQUISITION - Golden State Bancorp completed its
acquisition of RedFed Bancorp, parent company of Redlands Federal Bank, and
converted RedFed's offices and accounts to Glendale Federal's offices and
systems on July 11, 1998.  At June 30, 1998, RedFed had assets of $1.0 billion
and deposits of $859 million.  Pursuant to the merger agreement, 0.68271 shares
of Golden State common stock were issued for each RedFed share, equal in value
to $20.75 per RedFed share.  In total, Golden State issued 5.2 million common
shares in the transaction.  The company estimates that it will record goodwill
in the RedFed merger of approximately $67 million, which will be amortized over
15 years.  On a pro forma basis to reflect the merger with RedFed, Golden State
had total assets of $19.1 billion and deposits of $11.6 billion.

          LTW(TM) DISTRIBUTION - The company distributed Litigation Tracking
Warrants(TM) to its securities holders on May 29, 1998. The LTW(TM)as represent
the right to receive, upon exercise, Golden State common stock equal in value to
85 percent of the net after-tax proceeds, if any, from Glendale Federal's
pending goodwill lawsuit against the United States Government. The LTW(TM)s are
the first goodwill lawsuit security to be distributed on a tax-free basis for
both securities holders and the distributing institution.

          STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM - The company completed its stock repurchase
program, which was undertaken in connection with its acquisition of RedFed
Bancorp.  The company repurchased 5.2 million shares of its common stock in this
