Synovus Announces Earnings for Third Quarter 2014, $250 Million Stock Repurchase Program,

and 43% Increase in Quarterly Common Stock Dividend

COLUMBUS, Ga., October 21, 2014 – Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE: SNV) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Third Quarter Highlights

 

    Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2014 was $44.2 million or $0.32 per diluted share as compared to $44.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2014.

 

    Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2014 was $51.3 million or $0.37 per diluted common share, excluding net litigation related expenses, restructuring charges, and Visa indemnification charges totaling $7.0 million after-tax.

 

    Total loans grew $132.8 million sequentially.

 

    Credit quality continued to improve as the NPL ratio declined to 1.18% at September 30, 2014 from 1.27% at June 30, 2014 and 2.29% a year ago, and the annualized net charge-off ratio for the third quarter declined to 0.24% and 0.41% year-to-date compared to 0.47% for the third quarter of 2013 and 0.75% for year-to-date 2013.

 

    All Tier 1 capital ratios continued to expand with the Tier 1 common equity ratio ending the quarter at 10.60%, up 18 basis points from the prior quarter.

“The announced stock repurchase program and common dividend increase from $0.07 to $0.10 per share reflect our strong capital position, significantly improved risk profile, and earnings momentum,” said Kessel D. Stelling, Synovus Chairman and CEO. “These actions will provide increased returns to our broad shareholder base while still allowing us the flexibility needed to reinvest in the business and continue our pursuit of growth opportunities. These opportunities include the acquisition of specialized talent that enables us to reach untapped customer segments, expansion into new business lines, and significant investments in marketing and technology. Fundamentals such as expense management and credit quality remain high priorities as evidenced by our continued progress during the third quarter, but delivering exceptional customer service backed by comprehensive financial solutions is the primary focus of our team’s efforts and energy day-to-day.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and certain of our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through Synovus’ use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “assumes,” “should,” “predicts,” “could,” “would,” “intends,” “targets,” “estimates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential” and other similar words and expressions of the future or otherwise regarding the outlook for Synovus’ future business and financial performance and/or the performance of the banking industry and economy in general. These forward-looking statements include, among others, our expectations on credit trends and key credit metrics; expectations regarding deposits, loan growth and the net interest margin; expectations on our growth strategy, expense initiatives, and future profitability; expectations regarding our capital management, including our announced share repurchase program, and the assumptions underlying our expectations. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Synovus to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the information known to, and current beliefs and expectations of, Synovus’ management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this press release. Many of these factors are beyond Synovus’ ability to control or predict.

These forward-looking statements are based upon information presently known to Synovus’ management and are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to change due to any number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risks and other factors set forth in Synovus’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 under the captions “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” and in Synovus’ quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date that they are made. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise may be required by law.


Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The measures entitled average core deposits; average core deposits excluding average state, county, and municipal deposits; Tier 1 common equity ratio; tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio; adjusted net income per common share, diluted; adjusted pre-tax, pre-credit cost income; and adjusted non-interest expense are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures are total average deposits; Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio; total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio; net income per common share, diluted; income before income taxes; and total non-interest expense, respectively.

Synovus believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Synovus to assist management and investors in evaluating Synovus’ capital strength and the performance of its core business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for total average deposits; Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio; total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio; net income per common share, diluted; income before income taxes; and total non-interest expense determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies.

The computations of average core deposits; average core deposits excluding average state, county, and municipal deposits; Tier 1 common equity ratio; tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio; adjusted net income per common share, diluted; adjusted pre-tax, pre-credit cost income; and adjusted non-interest expense; and the reconciliation of these measures to total average deposits; Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio; total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio; net income per common share, diluted; income before income taxes; and total non-interest expense are set forth in the tables below.
