WATERBURY, Conn., October 22, 2020 - Webster Financial Corporation (NYSE: WBS), the holding company for Webster Bank, N.A. and its HSA Bank division, today announced earnings applicable to common shareholders of $66.9 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $91.4 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
True to our heritage and our values, we are pleased to be able to do our part to help consumers and businesses manage through uncertainties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said John R.

Results include a Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) provision of $22.8 million with a reserve build of $11.3 million, resulting in an allowance coverage of 1.69 percent, or 1.80 percent excluding $1.4 billion of PPP loans.
Deposit growth of $3.6 billion, or 15.6 percent from a year ago, with growth of $1.8 billion in demand deposits and $688 million in HSA deposits.

Non-interest expense increased $2.3 million to $47.6 million, primarily due to higher support costs and lower deferred loan origination costs.

Pre-tax net revenue decreased $1.9 million to $32.3 million in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income decreased $3.7 million to $39.9 million, due to a decline in deposit spreads partially offset by a 10.9 percent growth in deposits. Non-interest income increased $3.7 million to $27.2 million, due primarily to fees related to third party administration (TPA) agreements and account closures in the quarter. Non-interest expense increased $1.9 million to $34.8 million, primarily due to merit increases, medical costs, and expenses to support the current enrollment season.

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased $5.3 million to $38.2 million in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income increased $3.6 million to $108.2 million, due to balance growth in the loan and deposit portfolios, partially offset by a decline in deposit spreads. Non-interest income increased $0.9 million driven by increased fee income from mortgage banking activities in the current quarter. This increase was partially offset by lower deposit-related service charges, as well as lower loan servicing and investment services fees. Non-interest expense decreased $0.8 million to $99.0 million resulting from lower bank operations expense and charges taken in 2019 related to the suspension of two lending initiatives. These reductions more than offset increased employee-related expenses and continued investments in technology.

Consolidated financial performance:
Quarterly net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2019:
Net interest income was $219.3 million compared to $240.5 million.
Net interest margin was 2.88 percent compared to 3.49 percent. The yield on interest-earning assets declined by 112 basis points, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 54 basis points.
Average interest-earning assets totaled $30.9 billion and grew by $3.3 billion, or 11.8 percent.
Average loans totaled $21.9 billion and grew by $2.4 billion, or 12.3 percent.
Average deposits totaled $26.9 billion and grew by $3.8 billion, or 16.3 percent.
Quarterly provision for credit losses:
The provision for credit losses was $22.8 million in the quarter, contributing to an $11.3 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. The increase in the allowance reflects our current estimate of forecasted economic conditions. The provision for credit losses was $40.0 million in the prior quarter and $11.3 million a year ago. The increase compared to a year ago is primarily due to the adoption of CECL and the impact of COVID-19.
Net charge-offs were $11.5 million, compared to $16.4 million in the prior quarter and $13.8 million a year ago. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.21 percent, compared to 0.30 percent in the prior quarter and 0.28 percent a year ago.
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases represented 1.69 percent of total loans at September 30, 2020, compared to 1.64 percent at June 30, 2020 and 1.07 percent at September 30, 2019. Excluding $1.4 billion of PPP loans, the coverage ratio was 1.80 percent at September 30, 2020. The allowance for credit losses at September 30 and June 30 was estimated in accordance with the CECL accounting standard. The allowance represented 227 percent of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2020 compared to 207 percent at June 30, 2020 and 129 percent at September 30, 2019.
Quarterly non-interest income compared to the third quarter of 2019:
Total non-interest income was $75.1 million compared to $69.9 million, an increase of $5.1 million. This reflects an increase of $5.0 million in mortgage banking activities primarily due to a decline in mortgage interest rates driving higher origination volume, a $3.7 million increase in HSA fee income primarily driven by TPA account fees, and a $1.9 million increase in other income primarily due to customer derivatives. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.5 million in deposit service fees driven by overdraft and service related fees and a $1.7 million decrease in loan related fees primarily due to lower syndication, prepayment penalties, and loan servicing fees.



image1.jpg
Quarterly non-interest expense compared to the third quarter of 2019:
Total non-interest expense was $184.0 million compared to $179.9 million, an increase of $4.1 million. This reflects an increase in compensation and benefits of $5.4 million due to annual merit increases and other benefits, a $1.7 million increase in technology and equipment due to continued infrastructure investment, and $4.8 million in professional fees related to our strategic initiatives. This was partially offset by lower pension costs, travel expenses and a one-time business optimization cost recorded in the year ago period.
Quarterly income taxes compared to the third quarter of 2019:
Income tax expense was $18.3 million compared to $25.4 million and the effective tax rate was 20.9 percent compared to 21.3 percent.
The lower effective tax rate in the quarter primarily reflects the effects of reduced pre-tax income in 2020 compared to 2019, partially offset by net discrete tax benefits recognized during the period a year ago.
Investment securities:
Total investment securities were $9.0 billion, compared to $8.7 billion at June 30, 2020 and $8.2 billion at September 30, 2019. The carrying value of the available-for-sale portfolio included $103.1 million of net unrealized gains, compared to $87.2 million at June 30, 2020 and $20.9 million of net unrealized gains at September 30, 2019. The carrying value of the held-to-maturity portfolio does not reflect $283.0 million of net unrealized gains, compared to $268.4 million at June 30, 2020 and $92.2 million of net unrealized gains at September 30, 2019.
Loans:
Total loans were $21.9 billion, compared to $21.8 billion at June 30, 2020 and $19.6 billion at September 30, 2019. Compared to June 30, 2020, commercial loans increased by $65.8 million, commercial real estate loans increased by $100.3 million, while consumer loans decreased by $80.8 million and residential mortgages decreased by $35.8 million.
Compared to a year ago, commercial loans increased by $1.603 billion, with PPP loans representing $1.4 billion of the increase. Commercial real estate loans increased by $909.5 million and residential mortgages increased by $12.1 million, while consumer loans decreased by $223.9 million.
Loan originations for the portfolio were $1.560 billion, or $1.525 billion excluding PPP loan originations, compared to $2.817 billion in the prior quarter, or $1.413 billion excluding PPP loan originations, and $1.610 billion a year ago. In addition, $149 million of residential loans were originated for sale in the quarter, compared to $115 million in the prior quarter and $73 million a year ago.

Asset quality:
Total nonperforming loans were $162.6 million, or 0.74 percent of total loans, compared to $173.1 million, or 0.79 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2020 and $162.7 million, or 0.83 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2019. Total paying nonperforming loans were $67.4 million, compared to $58.0 million at June 30, 2020 and $71.9 million at September 30, 2019.
Past due loans were $21.8 million, compared to $39.8 million at June 30, 2020 and $35.6 million at September 30, 2019.
Deposits and borrowings:
Total deposits were $26.9 billion, compared to $26.4 billion at June 30, 2020 and $23.3 billion at September 30, 2019. Core deposits to total deposits were 90.5 percent, compared to 89.9 percent at June 30, 2020 and 86.0 percent at September 30, 2019.

Total borrowings were $2.3 billion, compared to $2.8 billion at June 30, 2020 and $3.2 billion at September 30, 2019.
Capital:
The return on average common shareholders’ equity and the return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity were 8.80 percent and 10.91 percent, respectively, compared to 12.36 percent and 15.37 percent, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019.
The tangible equity and tangible common equity ratios were 8.19 percent and 7.75 percent, respectively, compared to 8.83 percent and 8.34 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2019. The common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.23 percent, compared to 11.63 percent at September 30, 2019.

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 non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results and financial position of the Company. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.
The efficiency ratio, which measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, is calculated excluding certain non-operational items. Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity measures the Company’s net income available to common shareholders, adjusted for the tax-effected 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. Core deposits express total deposits less time deposits, including brokered time deposits. See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
