Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased $13.0 million to $36.8 million in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income increased $8.3 million to $93.7 million, driven by deposit balance growth and lower interest paid on deposits, partially offset by lower loan balances. Non-interest income decreased $0.7 million to $17.3 million, resulting from lower mortgage banking fee income, partially offset by higher deposit service fees, loan servicing income, and credit card and merchant services fees. Non-interest expense decreased $5.4 million to $74.3 million, driven by lower employee-related, occupancy, technology and equipment, and marketing expenses.

Consolidated financial performance:

Quarterly net interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2020:

  • Net interest income was $226.8 million compared to $216.9 million.
  • Net interest margin was 2.73 percent compared to 2.83 percent. The yield on interest-earning assets declined by 24 basis points, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 14 basis points.
  • Average interest-earning assets totaled $33.5 billion and grew by $2.6 billion, or 8.4 percent.
  • Average loans and leases totaled $21.9 billion and grew by $0.2 billion, or 0.8 percent.
  • Average deposits totaled $30.1 billion and grew by $2.9 billion, or 10.7 percent.

Quarterly provision for credit losses:

  • The provision for credit losses reflects a $15.0 million benefit in the quarter, contributing to a $13.7 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. The decrease in the allowance reflects a stable economic outlook and favorable credit quality trends. The provision for credit losses reflected an expense of $7.8 million in the prior quarter compared to a benefit of $1.0 million a year ago.
  • Net (recoveries) were $(1.2) million, compared to net charge-offs of $0.9 million in the prior quarter and $9.4 million a year ago. The ratio of net (recoveries) charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was (0.02) percent, compared to 0.02 percent in the prior quarter and 0.17 percent a year ago.
  • The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases represented 1.35 percent of total loans at December 31, 2021, compared to 1.46 percent at September 30, 2021 and 1.66 percent at December 31, 2020. Excluding $0.2 billion of risk free PPP loans, the coverage ratio was 1.37 percent at December 31, 2021, compared to 1.49 percent at September 30, 2021 excluding $0.4 billion of risk free PPP loans, and 1.76 percent at December 31, 2020 excluding $1.3 billion of risk free PPP loans. The allowance represented 274 percent of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2021 compared to 309 percent at September 30, 2021 and 214 percent at December 31, 2020.

Quarterly non-interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2020:

  • Total non-interest income was $90.1 million compared to $76.8 million, an increase of $13.3 million. This primarily reflects an increase of $12.5 million in Other primarily due to realized gains and fair value adjustments on direct investments and a gain on the sale of a commercial loan; $2.8 million in deposit service fees driven by higher levels of transactional fees across all three business lines; and $1.3 million primarily due to increased investment activity. These increases were partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in mortgage banking activities which is in line with our strategic choice to originate loans for portfolio along with lower spreads on loans originated for sale.

Quarterly non-interest expense compared to the fourth quarter of 2020:

  • Total non-interest expense was $189.9 million compared to $219.5 million, a decrease of $29.6 million. Total non-interest expense includes a net $13.7 million of merger, strategic initiative, and debt prepayment charges compared to $38.3 million of strategic initiatives a year ago. Excluding those charges, total non-interest expense decreased $5.0 million driven by the benefits of our strategic initiatives partially offset by higher performance-based compensation and medical claims.

Quarterly income taxes compared to the fourth quarter of 2020:

  • Income tax expense was $31.0 million compared to $15.1 million, and the effective tax rate was 21.8 percent compared to 20.1 percent. The higher effective tax rate in the quarter primarily reflects the effects of increased pre-tax income in 2021 compared to 2020, partially offset by the recognition of a higher level of net discrete tax benefits during the period compared to a year ago.

Investment securities:

  • Total investment securities, net were $10.4 billion, compared to $9.4 billion at September 30, 2021 and $8.9 billion at December 31, 2020. The carrying value of the available-for-sale portfolio included $7.2 million of net unrealized gains, compared to $44.7 million at September 30, 2021 and $92.5 million at December 31, 2020. The carrying value of the held-to-maturity portfolio does not reflect $82.6 million of net unrealized gains, compared to $152.9 million at September 30, 2021 and $267.2 million at December 31, 2020.

Loans:

  • Total loans were $22.3 billion, compared to $21.6 billion at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Compared to September 30, 2021, commercial loans (excluding PPP loans) increased by $601.6 million, residential mortgages increased by $245.4 million, and commercial real estate loans increased by $80.5 million while consumer loans decreased by $52.1 million, and PPP loans decreased by $183.9 million.
  • Compared to a year ago, commercial loans (excluding PPP loans) increased by $1.0 billion, residential mortgages increased by $0.6 billion, and commercial real estate loans increased by $0.3 billion, while consumer loans decreased by $0.3 billion. PPP loans totaled $0.2 billion at December 31, 2021.
  • Loan originations for the portfolio were $2.553 billion, compared to $1.987 billion in the prior quarter and $1.804 billion a year ago. In addition, $42 million of residential loans were originated for sale in the quarter, compared to $57 million in the prior quarter and $125 million a year ago.

Asset quality:

  • Total nonperforming loans were $109.8 million, or 0.49 percent of total loans, compared to $101.8 million, or 0.47 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2021 and $168.0 million, or 0.78 percent of total loans, at December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, $60.3 million of nonperforming loans were contractually current.
  • Past due loans were $21.9 million, compared to $17.1 million at September 30, 2021 and $32.9 million at December 31, 2020.

Deposits and borrowings:

Core deposits to total deposits were 94.0 percent, compared to 93.7 percent at September 30, 2021 and 90.9 percent at December 31, 2020.

  • Total borrowings were $1.2 billion, compared to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2021 and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2020.

Capital:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of net income and other performance ratios, as adjusted, is included in the accompanying selected financial highlights table.

We believe that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, our performance trends and financial position. We utilize these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We, as well as securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties, also use these measures to compare peer company operating performance. We believe that our presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business and allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results, and we strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

(a) Presented as preliminary for December 31, 2021 and actual for the remaining periods. In accordance with regulatory capital rules, the Company elected an option to delay the estimated impact of CECL on its regulatory capital for two years followed by a three year transition period ending December 31, 2024. As a result, capital ratios and amounts for all periods presented exclude the impact of the increased allowance for credit losses on loans, held-to-maturity debt securities and unfunded loan commitments attributed to the adoption of CECL.

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures

                                     

The Company evaluates its business based on certain ratios that utilize non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results and financial position of the Company. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.

                                     

The efficiency ratio, which measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, is calculated excluding certain non-operational items. Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity measures the Company's net income available to common shareholders, adjusted for the tax-effected amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of average shareholders' equity less average preferred stock and average goodwill and intangible assets. The tangible equity ratio represents shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. The tangible common equity ratio represents shareholders' equity less preferred stock and goodwill and intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share represents shareholders' equity less preferred stock and goodwill and intangible assets divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Core deposits express total deposits less time deposits, including brokered time deposits. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by excluding after tax non-operational items from reported earnings applicable to common shareholders. See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
