WEBSTER REPORTS 2017 FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

WATERBURY, Conn., April 21, 2017 - Webster Financial Corporation (NYSE: WBS), the holding company for Webster Bank, N.A., today announced earnings applicable to common shareholders of $57.3 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $44.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Record net income was driven by $1.1 billion in commercial loan growth year-over-year, fully funded by HSA and transactional account deposit growth,” said James C. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our 30th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth benefited from rising interest rates. The solid results reflect sustained progress in executing sound growth strategies that maximize value for customers and shareholders.”
Highlights for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016:
Revenue of $255.7 million, an increase of 7.3 percent, including a record level of net interest income of $192.7 million, and non-interest income of $63.0 million.
Loan growth of $1.2 billion, or 7.8 percent, with growth of $1.1 billion in commercial and commercial real estate loans.
Deposit growth of $1.5 billion, or 8.1 percent, with growth of $1.2 billion in health savings account and transactional deposits.
Net charge-off ratio of 0.13 percent.
Annualized return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) of 12.47 percent.
Net interest margin of 3.22 percent, up 11 basis points.
Effective tax rate of 27 percent benefited from an accounting change.
“We are beginning to realize the transformational benefits of our balance sheet management strategies as evidenced by the 11 basis point increase in the net interest margin,” said Glenn MacInnes, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Credit quality remains stable and we continue to execute on our strategic roadmap, with a disciplined approach to investing in our business, driving sustainable long-term shareholder value.”






Quarterly net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2016:

Net interest income was $192.7 million compared to $176.2 million.
Net interest margin was 3.22 percent compared to 3.11 percent. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 11 basis points, while the cost of funds remained flat.
Average interest-earning assets totaled $24.4 billion and grew by $1.4 billion, or 6.2 percent.
Average loans totaled $17.0 billion and grew by $1.2 billion, or 7.9 percent.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $10.5 million compared to $12.5 million in the prior quarter and $15.6 million a year ago.
Net charge-offs were $5.7 million compared to $6.1 million in the prior quarter and $16.4 million a year ago. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.13 percent compared to 0.15 percent in the prior quarter and 0.41 percent a year ago.
The allowance for loan losses represented 1.16 percent of total loans compared to 1.14 percent at December 31, 2016 and 1.10 percent at March 31, 2016.

Quarterly non-interest income compared to the first quarter of 2016:

Total non-interest income was $63.1 million compared to $62.4 million, an increase of $0.7 million.

Quarterly non-interest expense compared to the first quarter of 2016:

Total non-interest expense was $163.7 million compared to $152.4 million, an increase of $11.3 million. The increase reflects $7.6 million in compensation and benefits, $1.7 million in technology and equipment, $1.5 million in professional and outside services, and $1.1 million due to continued facility optimization, offset by a slight decline in other expenses.

Income tax expense was $22.0 million compared to $23.4 million and the effective tax rate was 27.0 percent compared to 33.2 percent.

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 nonperforming 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 and cyber-security matters; (11) the ability to increase market share and control expenses; (12) changes in the competitive environment among banks, financial holding companies, and other financial services 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 the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (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; (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 headings “Risk Factors” and ‘Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.” 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. 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 certain 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 shareholders’ equity less average preferred stock and average goodwill and intangible assets. The tangible equity ratio represents shareholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. The tangible common equity ratio represents shareholders’ equity less preferred stock and goodwill and intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share represents shareholders’ equity less preferred stock and goodwill and intangible assets divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period.
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. Core deposits express total deposits less time deposits. Accordingly, these are also non-GAAP financial measures.
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. See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
