SECOND QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Loans

Average loans of $15.7 billion increased by $280 million, or 2% from the first quarter and increased $1.1 billion, or 8%, from the year ago quarter. Commercial and business lending average balances increased by $245 million, or 4% from the prior quarter.  Commercial real estate lending average balances grew by $130 million, or 4% on a linked-quarter basis.  The residential mortgage portfolio average balances grew by $39 million, or 1%, during the quarter.  This growth was partially offset by continued run off in home equity and installment loan balances, which experienced an average balance decline of $135 million, or 5%, during the quarter.

Deposits

Average deposits of $17.1 billion were relatively flat compared to the first quarter but have increased by $2.1 billion, or 14%, from the year ago quarter.  During the second quarter, average balance growth in checking and savings deposits were offset by a 2% decline in money market deposits coupled with the continued decline in time deposits.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Second quarter net interest income of $160 million increased $2 million, or 2% compared to the prior quarter and $6 million, or 4% compared to the year ago quarter. 

Second quarter net interest margin was 3.16%, a slight decrease of 1 basis point from the 3.17% reported in first quarter and a decrease of 14 basis points from a year ago.  The decrease from the first quarter was the result of a 5 basis point decline in asset yields which was offset by 4 basis points of liability cost management actions. 

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income for the quarter was $84 million, up $2 million, or 3%, from the first quarter and grew $8 million or 11% from the year ago quarter.   Trust fees, service charges, non-deposit fees, and brokerage commissions all improved during the quarter.  However, core fee revenue was flat to the prior quarter as these improvements were offset by a $3 million reserve related to third party insurance products sold in prior years.  Mortgage banking income increased $1 million from the prior quarter as an increase of $3 million in mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance recoveries ($8 million in second quarter compared to $5 million in the first quarter) was partially offset by $2 million in lower gain on sales.   The $1 million decline in asset gains and losses was primarily related to a $2 million real estate write down as the Company continues to identify cost efficiency opportunities within its footprint.

Total noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $170 million, up $3 million, or 2%, from the first quarter.  Personnel expense increased $2 million from the first quarter, including $1 million of severance charges related to our on-going consolidation and efficiency efforts.   Losses other than loans were $2 million higher than the first quarter due to increases in unfunded commitment reserves.    The efficiency ratio continued to improve during the period reflecting management's focus on expense management.

Credit

The Company reported another quarter of improving credit quality with nonaccrual loans down 4%, to $217 million compared to the first quarter, and down 32% from a year ago.  The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans now stands at 1.38% and has improved for the 13th consecutive quarter.

Net charge offs of $14 million for the second quarter were down slightly from the first quarter, and were $10 million lower than a year ago. 

Second quarter provision for loan losses was $4 million, equal to the first quarter.  The Company's allowance for loan losses was $277 million, representing an allowance equal to 1.76% of loans and representing a coverage ratio of over 127% of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2013.

Capital Ratios

The Company's capital position remains very strong, with a Tier 1 common equity ratio of 11.48% at June 30, 2013.  The Company's capital ratios continue to be well in excess of both current and proposed "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks.

(1) Tier 1 common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by banking regulators, investors and analysts to assess and compare the quality and composition of our capital of other financial services companies. Management uses Tier 1 common equity, along with other capital measures, to assess and monitor our capital position. Tier 1 common equity (period end and average) is Tier 1 capital excluding qualifying perpetual preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities.

(2) Efficiency ratio is defined by the Federal Reserve guidance as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net. Efficiency ratio, fully taxable equivalent, is noninterest expense, excluding other intangible amortization, divided by the sum of taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net and asset gains / losses, net. This efficiency ratio is presented on a taxable equivalent basis, which adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and investment securities. Management believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it enchances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources and it excludes certain specific revenue items (such as investment securities gains / losses, net and asset gains / losses, net).

(3) Ratio is based upon basic earnings per common share.

(4) Loans held for sale have been included in the average balances.

(5) June 30, 2013 data is estimated.

(6) Tangible equity, tangible common equity and tangible assets exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. These financial measures have been included as they are considered to be critical metrics with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.

(7) The Federal Reserve establishes capital adequacy requirements, including well-capitalized standards for the Corporation. The OCC establishes simliar capital adequacy requirements and standards for the Bank. Regulatory capital primarily consists of Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 2 risk-based capital. The sum of Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 2 risk-based capital equals our total risk-based capital. Risk-based capital guidelines require a minimum level of capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets consist of total assets plus certain off-balance sheet and market items, subject to adjustment for predefined credit risk factors.
