KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) today announced fourth quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $193 million, or $.21 per common share, compared to $214 million, or $.23 per common share for the third quarter of 2012, and $201 million, or $.21 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2011. During the fourth quarter Key incurred $16 million, or $.01 per common share of costs associated with its previously announced Fit for Growth efficiency initiative. For 2012, net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders was $827 million, or $.88 per common share, compared to $857 million, or $.92 per common share for 2011. For 2012, Key incurred $25 million, or $.02 per common share of costs associated with its Fit for Growth efficiency initiative.

We had a good finish to 2012, said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Beth E. Mooney. Our full-year results reflect success in executing on our strategies to grow loans, add additional payment capabilities to our product line in the form of credit cards and improved mobile banking, and moving forward on our efficiency initiative.
Mooney added: Our momentum continued in the most recent quarter. The net interest margin was up 14 basis points versus the prior quarter driven by ongoing liability repricing and growth in both commercial and consumer loan balances. We also experienced significant revenue growth in our Corporate Bank from both our investment banking and commercial mortgage businesses.
Progress continues on our efficiency initiative, said Mooney. We ended the year with run rate savings of approximately $60 million annualized. We also continued to invest in the future revenue growth of our company by continuing to upgrade our technology to meet the needs of our clients. We remain committed to deliver on our goal of achieving an efficiency ratio in the range of 60% to 65%.

TE = Taxable Equivalent

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $607 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, and the net interest margin was 3.37%. These results compare to taxable-equivalent net interest income of $563 million and a net interest margin of 3.13% for the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in net interest income and the net interest margin was primarily a result of a change in funding mix from the redemption of certain trust preferred securities, maturity of long-term debt, and maturity of higher-costing certificates of deposit during the past year.
Compared to the third quarter of 2012, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $29 million, and the net interest margin improved by 14 basis points. The improvement was driven largely by lower funding costs, resulting from an increase in demand and non-time interest-bearing deposits, and maturity of higher rate certificates of deposit. In addition, Key experienced an increase in loan-related fees compared to the third quarter when the Company wrote-off capitalized loan origination costs of $13 million as a result of the early termination of leveraged leases.

Keys noninterest income was $466 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $414 million for the year-ago quarter. Net gains (losses) from loan sales increased $30 million from the year-ago quarter due to an increase in volume in Keys commercial mortgage banking business. Investment banking and capital markets income also increased $23 million from one year ago. The fourth quarter of 2011 included a $24 million charge resulting from VISAs announcement of a planned increase to its litigation escrow deposit.
Compared to the third quarter of 2012, noninterest income decreased by $78 million. Other income declined $68 million, primarily due to a $54 million gain associated with the redemption of certain trust preferred securities in the third quarter of 2012. Gains on leased equipment also decreased $44 million, primarily related to the early terminations of leveraged leases in the third quarter of 2012. These decreases in noninterest income were partially offset by increases in net gains (losses) from loan sales of $18 million, corporate-owned life insurance income of $10 million, investment banking and capital markets income of $9 million, and letter of credit and loan fees of $7 million.

Keys noninterest expense was $756 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $717 million for the same period last year. Personnel expense increased $46 million due to several factors an increase in contract labor for technology investments attributable to the previously announced credit card portfolio acquisitions and related implementation of new payment systems and merchant services processing; higher employee benefits due to an increase in medical claims expense and an adjustment to the annual retirement contribution accrual; and severance expense associated with Keys Fit for Growth efficiency initiative. Nonpersonnel expense decreased $7 million from one year ago. Operating lease expense, other real estate owned (OREO) and marketing expense decreased from the year ago quarter. These declines were partially offset by an increase of $11 million related to the amortization of the intangible assets associated with the third quarter 2012 acquisitions of the previously announced credit card portfolio as well as the branches in Western New York.
Compared to the third quarter of 2012, noninterest expense increased by $22 million due to increases in personnel expense. Salaries were up due to the previously discussed technology investment spend along with an increase in employee benefits due to higher medical claims expense and an adjustment to the annual retirement contribution accrual. Severance expense also increased as a result of Keys Fit for Growth efficiency initiative. Nonpersonnel expense in total was unchanged from the third quarter of 2012.
BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS
As of December 31, 2012, Key had total assets of $89.2 billion compared to $87.0 billion at September 30, 2012, and $88.8 billion at December 31, 2011.

(a) Commercial, financial and agricultural average balance for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012 includes $90 million and $54 million of assets from commercial credit cards, respectively.
Average loans were $51.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of $3.2 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans grew by $3.8 billion over the year-ago quarter, with strong growth across Keys corporate and middle market segments. In addition, the third quarter 2012 credit card portfolio and Western New York branch acquisitions added $1 billion of mostly consumer loans. This growth was partially offset by managed declines in the commercial real estate portfolio, the equipment lease portfolio, which included the early termination of certain leveraged leases in the exit portfolio, and run-off of consumer loans in the designated exit portfolio.
Compared to the third quarter of 2012, average loans increased by $1.2 billion. Much of the growth in loans was attributable to a $759 million increase in commercial and industrial lending within the commercial, financial and agricultural loan category. In addition, the full fourth quarter impact of the third quarter 2012 credit card portfolio acquisitions added $257 million to average loans.
Key originated approximately $10.2 billion in new or renewed lending commitments to consumers and businesses during the fourth quarter of 2012 and $37.8 billion for 2012.

Average deposits totaled $63.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of $4.4 billion compared to the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the third quarter of 2012, average deposits increased by $1.3 billion. The growth was largely due to an increase of $1 billion in demand deposits.

Keys provision for loan and lease losses was $57 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $109 million for the third quarter of 2012 and a credit of $22 million for the year-ago quarter. Keys allowance for loan and lease losses was $888 million, or 1.68% of total period-end loans at December 31, 2012, compared to 1.73% at September 30, 2012, and 2.03% at December 31, 2011.
Net loan charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $58 million, or .44% of average loans. These results compare to $109 million, or .86% for the third quarter of 2012, and $105 million, or .86% for the same period last year. The third quarter of 2012 included $45 million of incremental net loan charge-offs reported in accordance with updated regulatory guidance. Further review of the loans subject to this updated regulatory guidance was performed during the fourth quarter of 2012 and resulted in a partial home equity loan charge-off reversal and reallocation of the updated charge-off amounts to other consumer loan portfolios.
At December 31, 2012, Keys nonperforming loans totaled $674 million and represented 1.28% of period-end portfolio loans, compared to 1.27% at September 30, 2012 and 1.47% at December 31, 2011. Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2012 included $46 million of loans related to the regulatory guidance issued in the second and third quarters of 2012. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012, totaled $735 million and represented 1.39% of portfolio loans and OREO and other nonperforming assets, compared to 1.39% at September 30, 2012, and 1.73% at December 31, 2011.

Key Community Bank Summary of Operations
· Six consecutive quarters of average loan growth
· Core deposits up $4.9 billion, or 12.8% from the prior year and $1.3 billion, or 3.2% from the prior quarter
Key Community Bank recorded net income attributable to Key of $31 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $40 million for the year-ago quarter.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $5 million, or 1.4% from the fourth quarter of 2011. Average loans and leases grew 10.8% while average deposits increased 4.3% from one year ago. The Western New York branch and credit card portfolio acquisitions contributed $33 million to net interest income, $1 billion to average loans and leases, and $2 billion to deposits. The positive contribution to net interest income from the acquisitions was partially offset by a lower earnings credit applied to deposits in the current period compared to the same period one year ago.
