January 19, 2017 7:30 AM EST

WATERBURY, Conn., Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Webster Financial Corporation (NYSE: WBS), the holding company for Webster Bank, N.A., today announced earnings applicable to common shareholders of $55.5 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to $49.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

For the full year 2016, net income available to common shareholders was $198.4 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, compared to $195.4 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, for the full year 2015.

"I am pleased to report that Webster finished its best year ever with a strong fourth quarter. Record quarterly loan originations of $1.8 billion coupled with a modest increase in the net interest margin contributed to Webster's 29th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth and our 18th consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year commercial loan growth," said James C. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer. "Credit quality remains strong with net charge-offs on loans at their lowest level in nearly a decade. Our solid results showcase our sustained progress in executing sound growth strategies that maximize value for our customers and shareholders."

Highlights for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015:

  • Revenue of $255.9 million, an increase of 9.8 percent, including record levels of net interest income of $185.3 million and non-interest income of $70.6 million, which includes a one-time gain on the sale of an asset.
  • Loan growth of $1.4 billion, or 8.6 percent, with growth of $1.2 billion in commercial and commercial real estate loans.
  • Deposit growth of $1.4 billion, or 7.5 percent, with growth of $1.0 billion in transactional and health savings account deposits.
  • Net charge-off ratio of 0.15 percent.
  • Annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) of 12.31 percent.

"Our focus remains the same," said Glenn MacInnes, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "We continue to have a disciplined approach in investing in our business to achieve consistent long-term growth and increase shareholder value."

Quarterly net interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2015:

  • Net interest income was $185.3 million compared to $173.3 million.
  • Net interest margin was 3.11 percent compared to 3.08 percent. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 3 basis points, while the cost of funds remained flat.
  • Average interest-earning assets totaled $24.1 billion and grew by $1.4 billion, or 6.3 percent. 
  • Average loans totaled $16.8 billion and grew by $1.3 billion, or 8.4 percent.

Quarterly provision for loan losses:

  • The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $12.5 million compared to $14.3 million in the prior quarter and $13.8 million a year ago.
  • Net charge-offs were $6.1 million compared to $6.8 million in the prior quarter and $11.8 million a year ago. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.15 percent compared to 0.16 percent in the prior quarter and 0.31 percent a year ago.
  • The allowance for loan losses represented 1.14 percent of total loans compared to 1.13 percent at September 30, 2016 and 1.12 percent at December 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses represented 145 percent of nonperforming loans compared to 147 percent at September 30, 2016 and 125 percent at December 31, 2015.

Quarterly non-interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2015:

  • Total non-interest income was $70.6 million compared to $59.7 million, an increase of $10.9 million. The increase reflects income from a one-time gain on the sale of an asset of $7.3 million and increases of $1.5 million in deposit service fees and $1.2 million in loan fees.

Quarterly non-interest expense compared to the fourth quarter of 2015:

  • Total non-interest expense was $161.9 million compared to $143.8 million, an increase of $18.1 million. The increase reflects added expenses of $4.8 million related to the Boston expansion, $3.2 million related to direct expense growth at HSA Bank, $2.3 million in occupancy expense, $1.6 million in marketing expense, and $1.4 million in technology and equipment. The remaining increase reflects compensation expense primarily related to variable deferred compensation driven by Webster's higher share price.

Quarterly income taxes compared to the fourth quarter of 2015:

  • Income tax expense was $23.8 million compared to $23.6 million, and the effective tax rate was 29.3 percent compared to 31.3 percent. A portion of the one-time gain noted above is treated as capital for tax purposes which allowed the Company to recognize as a benefit in the quarter a reduction in the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets applicable to capital losses.
  • Excluding the tax effects associated with the one-time asset gain noted above, the effective tax rate would have been 32.2 percent in the quarter.

Investment securities:

  • Total investment securities were $7.2 billion compared to $7.1 billion at September 30, 2016 and $6.9 billion at December 31, 2015. The carrying value of the available-for-sale portfolio included $24.7 million of net unrealized losses compared to $21.4 million of net unrealized gains at September 30, 2016 and $10.3 million of net unrealized losses at December 31, 2015, while the carrying value of the held-to-maturity portfolio does not reflect $35.5 million of net unrealized losses compared to $87.6 million of net unrealized gains at September 30, 2016 and $38.5 million of net unrealized gains at December 31, 2015.

Loans:

Asset quality:

  • Total nonperforming loans were $134.0 million, or 0.79 percent of total loans, compared to $128.2 million, or 0.77 percent, at September 30, 2016 and $139.9 million, or 0.89 percent, at December 31, 2015. Total paying nonperforming loans were $38.4 million compared to $34.5 million at September 30, 2016 and $48.7 million at December 31, 2015.

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 CORPORATIONReconciliations 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.
