THIRD QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Loans

At September 30, 2012, the Company's loan portfolio was $15.0 billion, up $267 million, or 2%, from $14.7 billion at June 30, 2012, and up $1.5 billion, or 11%, from $13.5 billion a year ago.  Commercial loans, which include general commercial loans, specialized lending, and commercial real estate, grew by $243 million, or 3% from the second quarter and have increased by $1.4 billion, or 19% from a year ago.  The residential mortgage portfolio grew by $125 million, or 4%, during the quarter while the retail portfolio, which includes home equity and installment loan balances, experienced net run-off of $101 million as consumers continued to refinance home equity loans into new first mortgages.

Deposits

Average deposits of $15.6 billion were up $565 million, or 4%, from the second quarter, and have increased by $1.2 billion, or 8%, from a year ago.  Total deposits of $16.5 billion at the end of the third quarter were up $1.3 billion, or 9%, compared to second quarter levels.  Period-end noninterest-bearing account balances grew by $446 million, or 12%, from the second quarter, and have increased by $609 million, or 16%, from a year ago.  Money market balances increased by $860 million, or 15%, from the second quarter, and have increased by $1.5 billion, or 28%, from a year ago.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Third quarter net interest income of $156 million increased by 1% compared to the prior quarter and was up 2% compared to the year-ago quarter.  The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.26%.  While yields on earning assets compressed by 7 basis points from the prior quarter, the cost of deposits and interest-bearing liabilities declined by 3 basis points, contributing to a net decrease in overall net interest margin of 4 basis points compared to the prior quarter.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income for the quarter was $81 million, up $5 million, or 7%, from the second quarter.  This revenue growth included a $3 million gain on the sale of securities.  Revenue from trust service fees, service charges on deposit accounts, card-based fees, and capital markets fees all increased from the prior quarter.  However, lower mortgage banking revenue and insurance commissions during the third quarter partially off-set the revenue increases.

Total noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $170 million, up $4 million, or 2%, from the second quarter.  Personnel and occupancy expenses increased by $2 million from the prior quarter while legal and professional fees also increased by $2 million from the second quarter primarily related to ongoing BSA enhancements.  Other expense categories, in aggregate, were flat compared to the second quarter.

Credit

The Company recorded a provision of zero, reflecting another quarter of improving credit metrics.  Nonaccrual loans were down 13%, to $278 million compared to the second quarter, and down 31%, from $403 million a year ago.  Nonperforming assets declined 12% from the prior quarter to $314 million, and declined 30%, from $445 million a year ago.

Net charge offs of  $18 million for the third quarter were down $6 million, or 26%, from the second quarter, and were 42% lower than a year ago.  The Company's allowance for loan losses was $315 million, representing an allowance equal to 2.11% of loans, and which represented a coverage ratio of over 113% of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2012.

Capital Ratios

The Company's capital position remains very strong, with a Tier 1 common equity ratio of 12.01% at September 30, 2012.  The Company's capital ratios continue to be well in excess of both current and proposed "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks.
