As previously reported, People's United Financial completed its acquisitions of Smithtown Bancorp, Inc. and LSB Corporation on November 30, 2010. Accordingly, Smithtown's and LSB's results of operations are included as of the acquisition date, and prior period results have not been restated to include Smithtown and LSB.
People's United Financial announced today a definitive agreement to acquire Danvers Bancorp, Inc. based in Danvers, Massachusetts. Further information regarding this acquisition is included in a separate release.
People's United Financial's Board of Directors has authorized an additional repurchase of common stock. Up to 5 percent of People's United Financial's then-outstanding common stock, or up to 17.5 million shares, can be repurchased, either directly or through agents, in the open market at prices and terms satisfactory to management. Under the stock repurchase authorization announced in April 2008, 14.3 million shares out of a maximum of 17.3 million shares authorized for repurchase, at a total cost of $191.2 million, had been repurchased as of December 31, 2010.
The Board of Directors of People's United Financial declared a $0.1550 per share quarterly dividend, payable February 15, 2011 to shareholders of record on February 1, 2011. Based on the closing stock price on January 19, 2011, the dividend yield on People's United Financial common stock is 4.4 percent.
"Our announcement today of the acquisition of Danvers Bancorp furthers our strategy of acquiring financial institutions in attractive markets and continues to build on what was an exciting and transformational 2010 for the bank," stated Jack Barnes, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The successful completion of our core system conversion and the rebranding of our branches throughout New England to People's United Bank, in addition to closing four acquisitions during 2010, position us well for future growth."
Barnes added, "Our performance throughout 2010 continues to reflect the benefits from our focused commercial, wealth management and retail banking strategy. Excluding acquired loans, our commercial banking portfolio increased 7 percent on an annualized basis this quarter, while our residential mortgage portfolio increased 14 percent, and we continue to strengthen our position in the critical Boston and New York markets."
Barnes concluded, "We operate from a position of competitive strength characterized by our strong business fundamentals, ability to further leverage our brand in attractive markets and our prospects for organic growth. Furthermore, we have demonstrated our ability to prudently and effectively deploy capital through acquisitions, adherence to a strong dividend policy and share repurchases."
"On an operating basis earnings were $37 million or 10 cents per share this quarter," said Paul D. Burner, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Significant drivers of the company's performance in the fourth quarter were an improvement in the net interest margin and lower net loan charge-offs. The net interest margin improved 12 basis points to 3.85 percent, primarily reflecting a reduction in our cost of deposits and the partial benefit from our two acquisitions completed during the fourth quarter."
Commenting on asset quality, Burner stated, "Our non-performing loans declined on a sequential quarter basis for the first time since September 2009, an indication of what we believe is stabilization across the loan portfolio. In addition, net loan charge-offs this quarter were the lowest since the first quarter of 2010."
Loans acquired in connection with acquisitions have been recorded at fair value, including a reduction for estimated credit losses, and without carryover of the respective portfolio's historical allowance for loan losses. As such, selected asset quality metrics have been highlighted to distinguish between the 'originated' portfolio and the 'acquired' portfolios. For the originated loan portfolio, representing all loans other than those acquired, non-performing loans totaled $245.2 million at December 31, 2010, and the ratio of originated non-performing loans to originated loans was 1.68 percent, compared to $251.4 millionand 1.77 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2010. Non-performing loans in the acquired loan portfolios, which represent those loans acquired that meet our definition of non-performing but for which the risk of loss has already been considered by virtue of our estimate of acquisition-date fair value and/or the existence of an FDIC loss-share agreement, totaled $359.8 million at December 31, 2010.
Non-performing assets totaled $303.1 million at December 31, 2010, down from $312.0 million atSeptember 30, 2010. Non-performing assets equaled 2.07 percent of originated loans, REO and repossessed assets at December 31, 2010 compared to 2.18 percent at September 30, 2010. AtDecember 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of originated loans was 1.18 percent and as a percentage of originated non-performing loans was 70 percent, compared to 1.21 percent and 69 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2010.
Fourth quarter net loan charge-offs totaled $10.9 million compared to $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. Net loan charge-offs as a percent of average loans on an annualized basis were 0.28 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 0.57 percent in this year's third quarter. The level of the allowance for loan losses is unchanged from September 30, 2010.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, return on average tangible assets was 0.61 percent and return on average tangible stockholders' equity was 3.7 percent, compared to 0.48 percent and 2.7 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010. At December 31, 2010, People's United Financial's tangible equity ratio stood at 14.1 percent.

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 this 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. 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 banks and thrifts.

Further, the efficiency ratio and operating earnings 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 intangibles and fair value adjustments, losses on

real estate assets and non-recurring expenses) (the numerator) to (ii) net interest income on a fully taxable

equivalent basis (excluding fair value adjustments) plus total non-interest income (including the fully taxable

equivalent adjustment on bank-owned life insurance income, and excluding gains and losses on sales of

assets, other than residential mortgage loans, and non-recurring income) (the denominator). 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, merger-related expenses, core

system conversion costs, and one-time charges related to executive-level management separation

agreements, are generally also excluded when calculating the efficiency ratio. Operating earnings per share

is calculated by dividing operating earnings by the weighted average number of dilutive common shares

outstanding 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 intangibles) (the numerator) to (ii) tangible assets (total assets less

goodwill and other acquisition-related intangibles) (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 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.
