KEYCORP REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2021 NET INCOME OF $601 MILLION, OR $.64 PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE

January 20, 2022 6:30 AM

CLEVELAND, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) today announced net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $601 million, or $.64 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2021. This compared to $616 million, or $.65 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2021 and $549 million, or $.56 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Our fourth quarter results marked a strong finish to a record year for Key. Leveraging our distinctive business model, we continue to add and deepen relationships with clients across both our consumer and commercial businesses. We are also seeing significant momentum from recent investments we have made in teammates, niche businesses, and digital capabilities.

Our team generated record revenue for both the quarter and the year. We delivered broad-based growth across each of our businesses. Our consumer business produced both record household growth and record consumer loan originations. In our commercial businesses, we raised over $100 billion for the benefit of our clients.

Our collective focus on sound, profitable growth is evidenced by our strong credit quality. We remain committed to our capital priorities and maximizing shareholder value. In 2021, we returned 75% of our net income to shareholders, in the form of dividends and share repurchases.

I am very proud of all that we accomplished this year. I want to thank our teammates for their dedication and commitment to serving our clients, our communities, and our shareholders, while growing our business.

- Chris Gorman, Chairman and CEO

TE = Taxable Equivalent

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021 and the net interest margin was 2.44%. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, net interest income decreased $5 million, while the net interest margin decreased by 26 basis points. Both net interest income and the net interest margin reflect the impact of lower reinvestment yields and the exit of the indirect auto loan portfolio, largely offset by a favorable earning asset mix. The net interest margin was also impacted by elevated levels of liquidity as we continued to experience higher levels of deposit inflows in 2021.

Compared to the third quarter of 2021, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $13 million and the net interest margin decreased by 3 basis points. The increase in net interest income was driven by balance sheet growth and a favorable mix of earning assets, as well as higher loan fees from the PPP forgiveness and core portfolio growth. Additionally, both net interest income and the net interest margin were impacted by lower reinvestment yields and the exit of the indirect auto loan portfolio.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, noninterest income increased by $107 million. The increase was primarily driven by investment banking and debt placement fees, up $80 million. Additionally, commercial mortgage servicing fees and other income both increased $16 million. Partially offsetting the increase was a $18 million decrease in consumer mortgage income, driven by higher balance sheet retention and lower gain on sale margins.

Compared to the third quarter of 2021, noninterest income increased by $112 million. The primary driver was investment banking and debt placement fees, which increased $88 million. Additionally, commercial mortgage servicing fees increased $14 million and other income increased $33 million, reflecting market related gains. Partially offsetting the increase was a $25 million decrease in cards and payments income, driven by lower prepaid card revenue.

Key's noninterest expense was $1.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $42 million from the year-ago period. The increase in nonpersonnel expense was primarily driven by higher business services and professional fees and computer processing fees. The increase in personnel expense reflects higher incentive and stock-based compensation from strong fee production, partially offset by lower severance.

Compared to the third quarter of 2021, noninterest expense increased $58 million. The increase was largely related to personnel expense, reflecting higher incentive and stock-based compensation. The increase in nonpersonnel expense was driven by higher business services and professional fees.

Average loans were $99.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $2.3 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Commercial loans decreased by $3.5 billion, reflecting a decline in PPP balances. Total PPP loan forgiveness was $8.0 billion for 2021. Partly offsetting the decrease was core growth in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. Consumer loans increased $1.2 billion, reflecting strength from Key's consumer mortgage business and Laurel Road, partly offset by the sale of the indirect auto loan portfolio.

Compared to the third quarter of 2021, average loans decreased by $741 million. Commercial loans were relatively unchanged from the prior quarter as declines in PPP balances were largely offset by core growth in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. Consumer loans decreased $764 million, reflecting the sale of the indirect auto loan portfolio, which reduced average loans by $2.7 billion. In addition, we continued to experience strength from Key's consumer mortgage business and Laurel Road.

Average deposits totaled $151.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $15.3 billion compared to the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the third quarter of 2021, average deposits increased by $4.1 billion, primarily driven by higher commercial escrow balances and retail deposits.

These results compare to $135 million, or .53%, for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $29 million, or .11%, for the third quarter of 2021. Key's allowance for credit losses was $1.2 billion, or 1.20% of total period-end loans at December 31, 2021, compared to 1.80% at December 31, 2020, and 1.25% at September 30, 2021.

At December 31, 2021, Key's nonperforming loans totaled $454 million, which represented .45% of period-end portfolio loans.

The table reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures, which provides a basis for period-to-period comparisons.

Key's capital position remained strong in the fourth quarter of 2021. As shown in the preceding table, at December 31, 2021, Key's estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios stood at 9.4% and 10.7%, respectively. Key's tangible common equity ratio was 6.9% at December 31, 2021.

Key has elected the CECL phase-in option provided by regulatory guidance which delays for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital and phases it in over three years beginning in 2022. On a fully phased-in basis, Key's Common Equity Tier 1 ratio would be reduced by 17 basis points.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, Key declared a dividend of $.195 per common share, representing a 5% increase from the prior quarter. The reduction in share count was driven by the final settlement of 2.5 million shares related to the accelerated share repurchase program disclosed in the third quarter of 2021. There were no additional open market share repurchases in the fourth quarter.

Consumer Bank Summary of Operations (4Q21 vs. 4Q20)

  • Net income attributable to Key of $161 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $225 million for the year-ago quarter
  • Taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $69 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, related to the sale of the indirect auto portfolio, partially offset by strong consumer mortgage balance sheet growth and fees related to PPP loans
  • Average loans and leases decreased $1.7 billion, or 4.2%, from the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by the sale of the indirect auto loan portfolio, partially offset by growth in residential mortgage and Laurel Road
  • Average deposits increased $7.4 billion, or 9.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by consumer retention of stimulus payments and relationship growth
  • Provision for credit losses increased $18 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by expectations of a more stable economic outlook and portfolio growth
  • Noninterest income increased $12 million, or 4.7%, from the year ago quarter, driven by higher cards and payments income and trust and investment services income. Partially offsetting the increase was consumer mortgage income, reflecting higher balance sheet retention and lower gain on sale margins
  • Noninterest expense increased $8 million, or 1.3%, from the year ago quarter, driven by higher production-related incentives and increased marketing expense related to Laurel Road

Commercial Bank Summary of Operations (4Q21 vs. 4Q20)

  • Net income attributable to Key of $449 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $310 million for the year-ago quarter
  • Taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $3 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, as lower average loan balances offset fees related to PPP loans
  • Average loan and lease balances decreased $889 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, reflecting a decline in PPP balances, partly offset by core growth in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans
  • Average deposit balances increased $7.0 billion, or 13.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by growth in targeted relationships and higher commercial escrow deposits
  • Provision for credit losses decreased $56 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The provision for credit losses was a net benefit, driven by lower net loan charge-offs and improved asset quality
  • Noninterest income increased $109 million from the year-ago quarter, driven by elevated investment banking client activity and corporate services income, partially offset by lower cards and payments income
  • Noninterest expense increased by $2 million, or 0.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by higher production-related incentives related to strong investment banking and debt placement fees

The following table entitled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" presents the computations of certain financial measures related to "tangible common equity" and "cash efficiency." The table reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures, which provides a basis for period-to-period comparisons.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(Dollars in millions)

The table below presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to "tangible common equity," "return on average tangible common equity," "pre-provision net revenue," and "cash efficiency ratio."

The tangible common equity ratio and the return on average tangible common equity ratio have been a focus for some investors, and management believes these ratios may assist investors in analyzing Key's capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock.

The table also shows the computation for pre-provision net revenue, which is not formally defined by GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects of the provision for credit losses makes it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis.

The cash efficiency ratio is a ratio of two non-GAAP performance measures. As such, there is no directly comparable GAAP performance measure. The cash efficiency ratio performance measure removes the impact of Key's intangible asset amortization from the calculation. Management believes this ratio provide greater consistency and comparability between Key's results and those of its peer banks. Additionally, this ratio is used by analysts and investors as they develop earnings forecasts and peer bank analysis.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

(a)

Restructured loans (i.e., troubled debt restructuring) are those for which Key, for reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions are made to improve the collectability of the loan and generally take the form of a reduction of the interest rate, extension of the maturity date or reduction in the principal balance.
