WEBSTER REPORTS 2010 FOURTH QUARTER PROFIT

WATERBURY, Conn., January 14, 2011 – Webster Financial Corporation (NYSE: WBS), the holding company for Webster Bank, N.A., today announced consolidated net income of $32.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Net income available to common shareholders after $7.6 million of preferred dividends was $25.0 million, or $.30 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Key points for the quarter:

Net loan growth of $116 million, with total originations of $979 million compared to $644 million for the third quarter.

Improved net interest margin of 3.40 percent compared to 3.36 percent for the third quarter.

Continued improvement in asset quality as indicated by a reduced level of non-performing and past due loans, which improved by 12.1 percent and 12.4 percent, respectively, compared to the third quarter.

Reduced levels of provision for loan losses of $15.0 million compared to $25.0 million for the third quarter; improved coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans of 117.6 percent compared to109.4 percent at September 30, 2010.

Repurchase of the remaining $300 million of preferred stock that was issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury under its Capital Purchase Program ($100 million in October and $200 million in December).

Webster Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James C. Smith said, “We are pleased to report that credit metrics, profitability and other key performance metrics showed meaningful improvement in the fourth quarter. The growth in loans in the quarter, most particularly middle market and commercial real estate originations, is a positive sign of quality financing

opportunities in our core lines of business, and reflects a gradually improving regional economy. Our recent successful capital raise and repayment of the U.S. Treasury’s investment in Webster underscores Webster’s capital strength and positions us well for future growth.”

Net interest income

 

   

The net interest margin increased by 4 basis points to 3.40 percent in the quarter, reflecting a 10 basis point decline in the cost of funds partially offset by a 4 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets.

 

   

Average interest-earning assets for the quarter totaled $16.4 billion, down from $16.5 billion last quarter.

Provision for loan losses

 

   

$12.5 million of the $15.0 million provision for loan losses recorded in the quarter was related to the Company’s continuing portfolios, and $2.5 million was related to the liquidating portfolio. In the third quarter, $22.4 million of the $25.0 million provision for loan losses recorded in the quarter was related to the Company’s continuing portfolios, and $2.6 million was related to the liquidating portfolio.

 

   

Net charge-offs were $33.7 million in the quarter compared to $28.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010; $ 27.4 million was related to the continuing portfolios compared to $23.0 million for the previous quarter and $6.3 million was related to the liquidating portfolio compared to $5.7 million for the previous quarter.

“There was continued improvement in key asset quality indicators in the quarter,” noted Webster Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer Jerry Plush. “As a result, we recorded net charge-offs in excess of provision for loan losses given the adequacy of allowance for loan losses and also have improved coverage of the allowance to non-performing loans at quarter end.”

Non-interest income

 

   

Total non-interest income was comparable to the third quarter. Included in non-interest income for the fourth quarter was the impact of $1.8 million in reduced deposit service fees from the adoption of Regulation E compared to the third quarter. Fourth quarter results also include higher loan related fees of $0.4 million, higher wealth management fees of $0.4 million and increased income from mortgage banking activities of $0.6 million compared to the third quarter. In addition, there was a $2.3 million positive fair value adjustment on common stock

classified as trading compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter while the third quarter also included a $1.0 million credit related other-than-temporary impairment loss on the write-down of investments to fair value.

Non-interest expenses

 

   

Non-interest expenses decreased $1.8 million from the third quarter. Included in non-interest expense in the fourth quarter was the recovery of $5.2 million in insurance proceeds, offset by $4.3 million of branch and facilities optimization and $0.6 million in severance and other costs, while the third quarter included a $2.8 million expense related to the previously announced settlement of a class action lawsuit related to the assessment and collection of overdraft fees on customer checking accounts and $0.3 million of severance expenses. Compensation expenses rose by $3.9 million compared to the third quarter, primarily relating to $1.1 million from higher group insurance claims experience, $1.1 million in deferred compensation and stock related expense, and to a lesser extent, $0.5 million from increased incentives and $0.5 million from recent hiring initiatives. Also included in non-interest expenses in the fourth quarter were foreclosed and repossessed asset write-downs of $0.1 million compared to $2.2 million for the third quarter. Loan workout expenses were also lower in the fourth quarter by $1.3 million.

Total loans were $11.0 billion at December 31, 2010 compared to $10.9 billion at September 30, 2010.

In the quarter, commercial loans increased by $2.6 million, commercial real estate increased by $90.3 million and residential mortgage loans increased by $52.4 million, while consumer loans declined by $28.7 million.

Total non-performing loans were $273.6 million or 2.48 percent of total loans at December 31, 2010 compared to $311.1 million or 2.85 percent at September 30, 2010.

Paying non-performing loans totaled $95.8 million at December 31 compared to $111.0 million at September 30.

 

   

Past due loans for the continuing portfolios decreased to $67.4 million at December 31 compared to $75.8 million at September 30. Past due loans for the liquidating portfolio were $6.1 million at December 31 compared to $8.1 million at September 30.

Non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits increased to 16 percent of total deposits at December 31 compared to 14 percent at September 30.

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.
