Webster Reports 2013 First Quarter Earnings

Diluted Earnings per Share of $.44 for the Quarter - an Increase of 5 Percent over Prior Year

WATERBURY, Conn., April 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Webster Financial Corporation (NYSE: WBS), the holding company for Webster Bank, N.A., today announced net income available to common shareholders of $39.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $38.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. 

Highlights for the quarter or at March 31 include:

Combined growth in commercial and commercial real estate loans of $822.7 million, or 15.5 percent, from a year ago.

Deposit growth of $679.4 million, or 4.9 percent, from a year ago.

Positive operating leverage of 5.7 percent compared to a year ago as core revenue grew by 3.5 percent and core expenses declined by 2.2 percent; as a result, the efficiency ratio improved by 347 basis points from a year ago.

Continued improvement in asset quality as evidenced by a reduction of $169 million, or 33.5 percent, in commercial classified loans from a year ago while past due loans declined $19.9 million, or 33.2 percent from a year ago. Nonperforming assets increased $19.1 million, or 10.4 percent, from a year ago and otherwise would have decreased as a net of $44.0 million of residential and consumer loans were classified as nonaccrual under regulatory guidance that took effect in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Return on average assets and return on average tangible common equity were 0.84 percent and 11.28 percent, respectively, in the quarter compared to 0.82 percent and 12.04 percent, respectively, in the year ago quarter.

James C. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "Webster's first quarter results delivered a solid 16 percent increase in core pre-tax, pre-provision net earnings from a year ago. Core revenue grew and expenses dropped, creating positive operating leverage of six percent compared to a year ago. Loans grew by six percent from a year ago, led by another double-digit increase in the commercial portfolio as we continued to help lead the region's economic recovery."

Net interest income

  • Net interest income was $145.8 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $143.4 million a year ago.
  • Net interest margin was 3.23 percent compared to 3.36 percent a year ago. The yield on interest-earning assets declined 30 basis points and the cost of funds declined 18 basis points from the year ago quarter.  
  • Average interest-earning assets totaled $18.5 billion in the quarter and grew by 5.9 percent from a year ago. 
  • Average loans grew by $749.3 million, or 6.6 percent, from the year ago quarter.

Provision for loan losses

  • The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $7.5 million in both the first quarter of 2013 and fourth quarter of 2012, and $4.0 million in the year ago period; the increased level of the provision reflects growth in the loan portfolio over prior year.
  • Net charge-offs were $16.8 million in the quarter compared to $27.2 million a year ago. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.56 percent in the quarter compared to 0.96 percent a year ago.
  • The allowance for loan losses represented 1.40 percent of total loans at March 31, 2013 compared to 1.47 percent at December 31, 2012 and 1.86 percent at March 31, 2012.

Noninterest income

  • Total noninterest income in the first quarter of 2013 increased $4.3 million compared to a year ago; there were $0.1 million of securities gains in the quarter while the year ago quarter had no securities gains.
  • Excluding securities gains, the $4.2 million increase in core noninterest income compared to a year ago reflects increases of $2.6 million in mortgage banking activities, $0.9 million from increase in cash surrender value of life insurance policies and $0.5 million from wealth and investment services. Other income was $0.2 million lower than in the year ago quarter reflecting a write-down of $1.5 million in the current quarter on a loan previously transferred to held for sale.

Webster President and Chief Operating Officer Jerry Plush noted, "During the first quarter, we announced outsourcing agreements with Jones Lang LaSalle for optimization of our facilities management and location decision-making and with Fidelity Information Services for management of our IT network and enhancement of our ability to deliver exceptional service to customers. These agreements create not only cost savings for future quarters but enhance our ability to optimize the size and locations of our banking centers and enable us to roll out new banking technologies quickly and seamlessly. We also launched our eForms initiative which will drive additional efficiency gains in future periods."

Noninterest expense

  • Total noninterest expense of $125.5 million in the first quarter of 2013 decreased $2.3 million compared to the year ago period. Included in noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2013 are $1.6 million of net one-time costs that amounted to $.01 per diluted share on an after-tax basis. These costs consisted primarily of contract termination and severance expenses. There were $1.2 million of net one-time costs in the year ago quarter that also amounted to $.01 per diluted share.
  • Total noninterest expense excluding one-time costs decreased $2.7 million from the first quarter of 2012. The decrease largely reflects a reduction of $2.6 million in compensation and benefits expense.
  • Foreclosed and repossessed asset expenses were $0.2 million in the quarter compared to $0.5 million a year ago, while gains on foreclosed and repossessed assets were $0.3 million and $0.7 million in the respective periods.

Income taxes

  • The Company recorded $18.9 million of income tax expense in the first quarter of 2013 on the $61.0 million of pre-tax income in the period. The effective tax rate was 31.0 percent compared to 29.9 percent a year ago, which reflected a net tax benefit of $0.5 million specific to that period.

Investment securities

  • Total investment securities were $6.4 billion at March 31, 2013 and $6.2 billion a year ago. The carrying value of the available for sale portfolio included $64.5 million in net unrealized gains compared to net unrealized gains of $43.4 million a year ago, while the carrying value of the held to maturity portfolio does not reflect $130.9 million in net unrealized gains compared to net unrealized gains of $154.9 million a year ago.

Loans

  • Total loans were $12.0 billion at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and $11.3 billion at March 31, 2012. In the quarter, commercial and commercial real estate loans increased by $23.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Residential mortgage and consumer loans decreased by $4.7 million and $53.3 million, respectively.
  • Compared to a year ago, commercial, commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans increased by $457.5 million, $365.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively. Consumer loans decreased by $149.6 million.
  • Loan originations for portfolio in the first quarter were $690.5 million compared to $1.279 billion in the fourth quarter and $790.8 million a year ago. In addition, $229.0 million of residential loans were originated and sold with servicing retained in the quarter compared to $221.8 million in the fourth quarter and $131.4 million a year ago.

Asset quality

  • Past due loans decreased to $40.0 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $74.3 million at December 31, 2012 and $60.0 million at March 31, 2012. Compared to December 31, 2012, past due commercial real estate, residential mortgage and consumer loans decreased by $13.4 million, $8.6 million and $10.3 million, respectively. Compared to March 31, 2012, all loan categories contributed to the decline except commercial real estate, which totaled $1.3 million compared to $1.1 million a year ago.
  • Past due loans represented 0.33 percent of total loans at March 31, 0.62 percent at December 31 and 0.53 percent a year ago. Past due loans for the continuing portfolios were $37.2 million at March 31 compared to $70.7 million at December 31 and $54.7 million a year ago.

  • Total nonperforming loans increased to $198.8 million, or 1.66 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2013 compared to $194.8 million, or 1.62 percent, at December 31, 2012 and $178.3 million, or 1.58 percent, at March 31, 2012. Included in nonperforming loans at March 31 and December 31 are $44.0 million and $39.5 million, respectively, of residential and consumer loans classified as nonaccrual under regulatory guidance that took effect in the fourth quarter of 2012. Total paying nonperforming loans at March 31 were $55.3 million compared to $46.5 million at December 31 and $18.1 million a year ago, with the increase consisting primarily of the loans classified as such due to the regulatory guidance.

Deposits and borrowings

  • Total deposits were $14.6 billion at March 31, 2013 compared to $14.5 billion at December 31, 2012 and $13.9 billion at March 31, 2012. Compared to December 31, increases of $206.8 million in interest-bearing checking and $65.7 million in savings deposits were offset by declines of $31.8 million in demand deposits, $39.3 in money market deposits and $108.3 million in certificates of deposit. Compared to a year ago, increases of $357.9 million in demand, $479.6 in interest-bearing checking, $120.7 million in money market and $50.2 million in savings deposits were offset by a decline of $329.0 million in certificates of deposit.

  • As previously disclosed, the holder of 8.625 million warrants on Webster's common stock exercised the warrants on a net exercise basis on March 22, 2013. Webster issued 4.565 million shares, net, of common stock. The issuance of the 4.565 million shares is reflected in the 90.237 million common shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2013.  
  • The tangible equity and tangible common equity ratios were 8.12 percent and 7.35 percent, respectively, at March 31, 2013 compared to 7.27 percent and 7.11 percent, respectively, a year ago.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "targeted," "continue," "remain," "will," "should," "may," "plans," "estimates," and similar references to future periods; however, such words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.  Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) projections of revenues, expenses, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, and other financial items; (ii) statements of plans, objectives, and expectations of Webster or its management or Board of Directors; (iii) statements of future economic performance; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Forward-looking statements are based on Webster's current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Webster's actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, which are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (1) local, regional, national, and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on us and our customers and our assessment of that impact; (2) volatility and disruption in national and international financial markets; (3) government intervention in the U.S. financial system; (4) changes in the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs; (5) changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements; (6) adverse conditions in the securities markets that lead to impairment in the value of securities in our investment portfolio; (7) inflation, interest rate, securities market, and monetary fluctuations; (8) the timely development and acceptance of new products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by customers; (9) changes in consumer spending, borrowings, and savings habits; (10) technological changes; (11) the ability to increase market share and control expenses; (12) changes in the competitive environment among banks, financial holding companies, and other financial service providers; (13) the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, and insurance) with which we and our subsidiaries must comply, including those under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Basel III update to the Basel Accords that is under development; (14) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other accounting standard setters; (15) the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews; and (16) our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items and (17) the other factors that are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the heading "Risk Factors."  Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of net income and other performance ratios, as adjusted, is included in the accompanying selected financial highlights table.

We believe that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, our performance trends and financial position. Specifically, we provide measures based on what we believe are our operating earnings on a consistent basis and exclude non-core operating items which affect the GAAP reporting of results of operations. We utilize these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We, as well as securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties, also use these measures to compare peer company operating performance. We believe that our presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business and allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results, and we strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures



The Company evaluates its business based on the following ratios that utilize tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity measures the Company's net income available to common shareholders, adjusted for the tax-affected amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of average common shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). The tangible equity ratio represents total ending shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights) divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). The tangible common equity ratio represents ending common shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights) divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Tangible book value per common share represents ending common shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights) divided by ending common shares outstanding.

 

The efficiency ratio, which measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, is calculated excluding foreclosed property expense, amortization of intangibles, gain or loss on securities, and other non-recurring items. Accordingly, this is also a non-GAAP financial measure.

 

See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012, June 30, 2012, and March 31, 2012. The Company believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Company. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.
