People's United Financial Reports First Quarter Net Income Of $0.20 Per Share And Operating Earnings Of $0.21 Per Share; Anno...

BRIDGEPORT, Conn., April 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- People's United Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBCT) today reported net income of $59.2 million, or $0.20 per share, for the first quarter of 2015, compared to $53.1 million, or $0.18 per share, for the first quarter of 2014, and $64.7 million, or $0.22 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2014. Operating earnings were $63.2 million, or $0.21 per share, for the first quarter of 2015, compared to $56.5 million, or $0.19 per share, for the first quarter of 2014, and $65.1 million, or $0.22 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2014.

The Company's Board of Directors voted to increase the common stock dividend to an annual rate of $0.67 per share. Based on the closing stock price on April 15, 2015, the dividend yield on People's United Financial common stock is 4.4 percent. The quarterly dividend of $0.1675 per share is payable May 15, 2015 to shareholders of record on May 1, 2015.

"Our performance this quarter is an encouraging start to the year, especially given the persistent low interest rate environment as well as the severe winter weather across our markets," commented Jack Barnes, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased our continued focus on improving profitability led to a 12 percent increase in operating earnings from a year ago. While the first quarter is typically a seasonally slower period, we achieved solid annualized loan growth of five percent and the success of our deposit gathering initiatives drove annualized organic deposit growth of over 17 percent."

Barnes continued, "Additionally, as previously reported we received a national banking association charter during the quarter. This charter is best aligned to our commercial banking business model."

Barnes concluded, "Finally, we are pleased to announce our 22^nd consecutive annual dividend increase which reflects our continued commitment to delivering value for shareholders through a consistent return of capital."

"The first quarter results reflect our continued focus on improving operating leverage through revenue growth and effective expense management," stated David Rosato, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Revenues grew three percent from the prior year quarter mostly due to higher non-interest income, while operating expenses remained flat. The net interest margin decline from the fourth quarter was in line with expectations and primarily resulted from the impact of two fewer calendar days and continued strong loan originations at rates lower than the existing portfolio."

Rosato concluded, "We are comfortable with our capital structure and balance sheet strength. Asset quality was once again exceptional as net charge-offs improved from an already low level. Capital ratios continue to be strong, especially in light of the Company's low risk business model."

At March 31, 2015, People's United Financial's common equity tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.0 percent and 12.0 percent, respectively, and the tangible equity ratio stood at 7.5 percent. People's United Bank N.A.'s common equity tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.6 percent and 13.0 percent, respectively, at March 31, 2015.

Net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans on an annualized basis were 0.11 percent in the first quarter of 2015, an improvement from 0.13 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 0.12 percent in the first quarter of 2014. For the originated loan portfolio, non-performing loans equaled 0.68 percent of loans at March 31, 2015, compared to 0.77 percent at December 31, 2014 and 0.84 percent at March 31, 2014.

Operating return on average assets of 0.71 percent for the first quarter of 2015 declined from 0.75 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014, but improved from 0.69 percent in the first quarter of 2014. Operating return on average tangible stockholders' equity of 9.9 percent in the first quarter of 2015 declined from 10.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014, but improved from 9.3 percent in the first quarter of 2014.

Loans acquired in connection with business combinations are initially recorded at fair value, determined based upon an estimate of expected cash flows, including a reduction for estimated credit losses, and without carryover of the respective portfolio's historical allowance for loan losses. A decrease in expected cash flows in subsequent periods may indicate that a loan is impaired, which would require the establishment of an allowance for loan losses. As such, selected asset quality metrics have been highlighted to distinguish between the 'originated' portfolio and the 'acquired' portfolio.

Represents acquired loans that meet People's United Financial's definition of a non-performing loan but are not, under the accounting model for acquired loans, subject to classification as non-accrual in the same manner as originated loans. Because acquired loans are initially recorded at an amount estimated to be collectible, losses on such loans, when incurred, are first applied against the non-accretable difference established in purchase accounting and then to any allowance for loan losses recognized subsequent to acquisition.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP

In addition to evaluating People's United Financial's results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management routinely supplements their evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the efficiency and tangible equity ratios, tangible book value per share and operating earnings metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding People's United Financial's underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Further, the efficiency ratio and operating earnings metrics are used by management in its assessment of financial performance, including non-interest expense control, while the tangible equity ratio and tangible book value per share are used to analyze the relative strength of People's United Financial's capital position.

The efficiency ratio, which represents an approximate measure of the cost required by People's United Financial to generate a dollar of revenue, is the ratio of (i) total non-interest expense (excluding goodwill impairment charges, amortization of other acquisition-related intangible assets, losses on real estate assets and non-recurring expenses) (the numerator) to (ii) net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis plus total non-interest income (including the FTE adjustment on bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") income, and excluding gains and losses on sales of assets other than residential mortgage loans and acquired loans, and non-recurring income) (the denominator). In addition, operating lease expense is excluded from total non-interest expense and netted against operating lease income within non-interest income to conform with the reporting approach applied to fee-based businesses already presented on a net basis. People's United Financial generally considers an item of income or expense to be non-recurring if it is not similar to an item of income or expense of a type incurred within the last two years and is not similar to an item of income or expense of a type reasonably expected to be incurred within the following two years.

Operating earnings exclude from net income those items that management considers to be of such a non-recurring or infrequent nature that, by excluding such items (net of income taxes), People's United Financial's results can be measured and assessed on a more consistent basis from period to period. Items excluded from operating earnings, which include, but are not limited to: (i) non-recurring gains/losses; (ii) writedowns of banking house assets; (iii) severance-related costs; (iv) merger-related expenses, including acquisition integration and other costs; and (v) charges related to executive-level management separation costs, are generally also excluded when calculating the efficiency ratio. Operating earnings per share is derived by determining the per share impact of the respective adjustments to arrive at operating earnings and adding (subtracting) such amounts to (from) GAAP earnings per share. Operating return on average assets is calculated by dividing operating earnings (annualized) by average total assets. Operating return on average tangible stockholders' equity is calculated by dividing operating earnings (annualized) by average tangible stockholders' equity. The operating dividend payout ratio is calculated by dividing dividends paid by operating earnings for the respective period.

The tangible equity ratio is the ratio of (i) tangible stockholders' equity (total stockholders' equity less goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets) (the numerator) to (ii) tangible assets (total assets less goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets) (the denominator). Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible stockholders' equity by common shares (total common shares issued, less common shares classified as treasury shares and unallocated Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") common shares).

In light of diversity in presentation among financial institutions, the methodologies used by People's United Financial for determining the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above may differ from those used by other financial institutions.
