WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION 
By WATERBURY, Conn., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Webster Financial Corporation (NYSE: WBS), the holding company for Webster Bank, N.A., today announced a consolidated net loss of $13.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The net loss available to common shareholders of $54.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 included $34 million of imputed dividends related to the Warburg Pincus investment and convertible preferred exchanges completed during the quarter, which did not have any effect on capital levels at year end.
Key points for the quarter:
Increased core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings of $57.4 million compared to $56.1 million for the third quarter.
Increased tangible common equity by $71 million with completion of the Warburg Pincus investment; also bolstered common equity by exchanging common stock for $27 million par amount of outstanding Webster convertible preferred stock.
Reduced levels of provision for loan losses and net charge-offs of $67.0 million and $51.8 million, respectively, compared to $85.0 million and $64.6 million in the third quarter.
Improved net interest margin of 3.26 percent compared to 3.18 percent for the third quarter of 2009.
Improved core to total deposit ratio of 71 percent compared to 69 percent at September 30, 2009, reflecting core deposit growth of $394 million.
Improved loan-to-deposit ratio of 81 percent compared to 83 percent at September 30, 2009.
Webster Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James C. Smith said, "The fourth quarter was marked by many significant improvements in Webster's operating fundamentals, especially as seen in stabilizing and improved credit metrics, including lower delinquencies, a reduced provision for losses, lower net charge-offs, and higher loan loss coverage." Other positive trends include improved earnings before loan loss provision, expanded net interest margin, and continuing strong core deposit growth. While our results do not yet reflect a return to profitability, our solid performance and improving trends are encouraging. Our recently announced lending and hiring initiatives reflect our positive outlook for continuing improvement throughout 2010."
Net interest income
-- Net interest margin improved to 3.26 percent in the fourth quarter with
the increase reflecting an 18 basis point decline in the cost of funds
offsetting a 10 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning
assets.
-- Average interest-earning assets totaled $16.35 billion, up from $16.25
billion last quarter.
Provision for credit losses
-- $62.2 million of the $67.0 million provision for credit losses recorded
in the fourth quarter was related to the Company's continuing
portfolios, and $4.8 million of the provision for credit losses was
related to the discontinued liquidating portfolio.
-- Net charge-offs were $51.8 million in the fourth quarter compared to
$64.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009; $43.2 million
was related to the continuing portfolios compared to $51.4 million in
the third quarter and $8.5 million was related to the discontinued
liquidating portfolio compared to $13.2 million in the third quarter.
Noninterest income
-- Noninterest income includes a net gain on sale of investment securities
of $53,000 compared to a net loss of $4.7 million in the third quarter.
Fourth quarter results also include a net gain of $3.6 million on the
fair value accounting mark on warrants issued in connection with the
Warburg Pincus investment.
Noninterest expenses
-- Noninterest expenses, inclusive of severance and other one-time costs,
increased $5.1 million from the third quarter. The fourth quarter
included $6.5 million in severance and other one-time costs while the
third quarter included $4.2 million in such charges. Included in the
$6.5 million in severance and other costs were $3.7 million in
facilities related charges, reflecting actions towards full
consolidation of back office facilities, and $1.1 million in fraud
related expense. Foreclosed and repossessed asset write-downs of $2.7
million and $2.2 million are also included in noninterest expenses in
the respective periods.
Income taxes
-- Due to the pre-tax loss, the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter
was not meaningful. The Company recorded a $1.6 million tax benefit in
the quarter on the $15.3 million pre-tax loss applicable to continuing
operations in the period.
Investment securities
-- Total investment securities were $4.8 billion at December 31, 2009
compared to $4.6 billion at September 30, 2009. The carrying value of
the available for sale portfolio included $3 million in net unrealized
losses compared to net unrealized losses of $4 million at September 30,
2009, while the carrying value of the held to maturity portfolio does
not reflect $61 million in net unrealized gains compared to net
unrealized gains of $103 million at September 30, 2009.
Loans
-- Total loans were $11.0 billion at December 31, 2009 compared to $11.3
billion at September 30, 2009. In the fourth quarter, residential
mortgage loans increased by $60.6 million while consumer, commercial and
commercial real estate loans declined by $74.2 million, $239.2 million
and $32.8 million, respectively. The decline in commercial loans
reflects reductions of $72.2 million in asset based loans and $53.7
million in equipment finance loans, as well as the sale of the insurance
premium finance subsidiary in the quarter which had $93.5 million in
loans at September 30, 2009.
-- The discontinued liquidating portfolio of indirect home equity and
national construction loans, included in the consumer and residential
loan portfolios, declined by $13.2 million from September 30, 2009 to
$219.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
Asset quality
-- Total nonperforming loans were $373.0 million or 3.38 percent of total
loans at December 31, 2009 compared to $361.1 million or 3.19 percent at
September 30, 2009. The increase in nonperforming loans reflects a
combined increase of $19.9 million in non-accrual commercial real
estate, residential development and asset based lending loans and a
combined decrease of $8.0 million in all other loan categories.
-- Past due loans for the continuing portfolios decreased to $90.5 million
at December 31, 2009 compared to $114.9 million at September 30, 2009.
Past due loans for the liquidating portfolio decreased to $10.4 million
at December 31, 2009 compared to $12.6 million at September 30, 2009.
Deposits and borrowings
-- Total deposits were $13.6 billion at December 31, 2009 compared to the
same amount at September 30, 2009. The core categories of demand, NOW,
money market and savings increased by a combined amount of $393.8
million while certificates of deposit and brokered deposits decreased by
$317.9 million and $44.5 million, respectively.
-- Total borrowings were $2.0 billion, a decline of $134.9 million from
$2.1 billion at September 30, 2009 primarily from maturities of FHLB
advances of $118.6 million in the quarter. Borrowings represented 11.2
percent of total assets at December 31, 2009 compared to 11.9 percent at
September 30, 2009.

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; (2) government intervention in the U.S. financial system; (3) changes in the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs; (4) inflation, interest rate, securities market and monetary fluctuations, and management's estimates and projections of such fluctuations; (5) the timely development and acceptance of new products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by users; (6) changes in management's estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; (7) the risks associated with the continued diversification of assets and adverse changes to credit quality; (8) technological changes; (9) the Company's ability to increase market share and control expenses; (10) changes in laws, regulations and policies (including tax, banking, securities and insurance laws, regulations and policies); (11) changes in applicable accounting policies and practice; (12) legal and regulatory developments including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews; (13) the Company's success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items; and (14) the other factors that are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.
