Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased $74.6 million, to $311.2 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. The increase in pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue was partially attributable to the timing of the merger in the first quarter 2022. Net interest income increased $97.2 million, to $384.3 million, primarily driven by the merger, organic loan growth since the merger, and the impact of the higher rate environment. Non-interest income decreased $3.3 million, to $35.4 million, driven by decreases of $3.5 million in prepayment penalties, $1.2 million in cash management fees, and $0.6 million in fees from interest rate hedging activities; partially offset by $1.9 million of higher syndication fees. Non-interest expense increased $19.3 million, to $108.5 million, primarily resulting from $19.0 million of higher expenses due to the timing of the merger in the first quarter of 2022.

HSA Bank

Webster’s HSA Bank division offers a comprehensive consumer-directed healthcare solution that includes health savings accounts, health reimbursement arrangements, flexible spending accounts and commuter benefits.

Pre-tax net revenue increased $17.0 million, to $52.1 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income increased $27.2 million, to $71.7 million, primarily due to an increase in net deposit spread and growth in deposits. Non-interest income decreased $2.9 million, to $24.1 million, primarily due to lower client account fees. Non-interest expense increased $7.3 million, to $43.7 million, primarily due to higher compensation and service contract expense related to account growth and the continued investment in our user experience build out.

Consumer Banking

Webster's Consumer Banking segment serves consumer and business banking customers primarily throughout southern New England and the New York Metro and Suburban markets. Consumer Banking is comprised of the Consumer Lending and Small Business Banking business units, as well as a distribution network consisting of 201 banking centers and 351 ATMs, a customer care center, and a full range of web and mobile-based banking services.

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased $60.6 million, to $129.7 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. The increase in balances and income was partially attributable to the merger in the first quarter of 2022. Net interest income increased $73.9 million, to $210.6 million, primarily driven by the merger and the impact of a higher rate environment on the value of deposits. Non-interest income decreased $1.9 million, to $26.0 million, driven by $3.6 million in lower net investment services income, which was attributable to the new outsourcing model adopted in 2022, partially offset by higher deposit related fee income. Non-interest expense increased $11.4 million, to $106.9 million, primarily driven by $12.9 million of incremental expenses due to the timing of the merger, partially offset by lower compensation-related expenses.

Consolidated financial performance:

Current period performance, when compared to the first quarter of 2022, is impacted by the timing of the merger with Sterling Bancorp occurring on January 31, 2022 as the first quarter of 2022 does not represent a full quarter of combined earnings.

Quarterly net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2022:

•Net interest income was $595.3 million compared to $394.2 million.

•Net interest margin was 3.66 percent compared to 3.21 percent. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 175 basis points, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 139 basis points.

•Average interest-earning assets totaled $66.1 billion and increased by $15.8 billion, or 31.3 percent.

•Average loans and leases totaled $50.1 billion and increased by $14.2 billion, or 39.5 percent.

•Average deposits totaled $54.8 billion and increased by $8.9 billion, or 19.4 percent.

Quarterly provision for credit losses:

•The provision for credit losses reflects a $46.7 million expense in the quarter, contributing to a $19.2 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. The provision also reflects a decrease in the reserves on unfunded commitments of $1.7 million. The provision for credit losses also reflected an expense of $43.0 million in the prior quarter, and $188.8 million a year ago.

•Net charge-offs were $24.5 million, compared to $20.2 million in the prior quarter, and $8.9 million a year ago. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis was 0.20 percent, compared to 0.17 percent in the prior quarter, and 0.10 percent a year ago.

•The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases represented 1.21 percent of total loans and leases at March 31, 2023, compared to 1.20 percent at December 31, 2022, and 1.31 percent at March 31, 2022. The allowance represented 332 percent of nonperforming loans and leases at March 31, 2023, compared to 292 percent at December 31, 2022, and 229 percent at March 31, 2022.

Quarterly non-interest income compared to the first quarter of 2022:

•Total non-interest income was $70.8 million compared to $104.0 million, a decrease of $33.2 million. The decrease primarily reflects losses on the sale of securities, lower client hedging income and valuation marks, the outsourcing of the consumer investment services platform, lower client account fees, and lower prepayment and other loan related fees.

Quarterly non-interest expense compared to the first quarter of 2022:

•Total non-interest expense was $332.5 million compared to $359.8 million, a decrease of $27.3 million. Total non-interest expense includes a net $29.4 million of merger and strategic initiatives charges, compared to a net $104.4 million a year ago. Excluding those charges, total non-interest expense increased $47.7 million, which reflects a full quarter impact of the merger compared to two thirds impact a year ago. After adjusting for merger and strategic initiative charges and the full quarter impact of the merger, expenses increased modestly year-over-year. The modest increase reflects expense benefits from the merger and outsourcing of the consumer investments services platform, which were offset by an increase in intangible amortization and strategic investments including operating expenses associated with the Bend and interLINK acquisitions.

Quarterly income taxes compared to the first quarter of 2022:

•Income tax expense (benefit) was $65.8 million compared to $(33.6) million, and the effective tax rate was 23.0 percent compared to an effective tax benefit rate of (66.7) percent. The tax benefit and effective tax benefit rate a year ago reflected the pre-tax loss recognized in that period.

Investment securities:

•Total investment securities, net were $14.9 billion, compared to $14.5 billion at December 31, 2022, and $15.1 billion at March 31, 2022. The carrying value of the available-for-sale portfolio included $766.4 million of net unrealized losses, compared to $864.5 million at December 31, 2022, and $328.4 million at March 31, 2022. The carrying value of the held-to-maturity portfolio does not reflect $742.8 million of net unrealized losses, compared to $803.4 million at December 31, 2022, and $270.8 million at March 31, 2022.

Loans and leases:

•Total loans and leases were $50.9 billion, compared to $49.8 billion at December 31, 2022, and $43.5 billion at March 31, 2022. Compared to December 31, 2022, commercial loans and leases increased by $0.3 billion, commercial real estate loans increased by $0.9 billion, residential mortgages increased by $38.1 million, while consumer loans decreased by $61.2 million.

•Compared to a year ago, commercial loans and leases increased by $3.4 billion, commercial real estate loans increased by $2.9 billion, residential mortgages increased by $1.2 billion, while consumer loans decreased by $131.3 million.

•Loan originations for the portfolio were $3.3 billion, compared to $4.7 billion in the prior quarter, and $2.6 billion a year ago. In addition, $2.5 million of residential loans were originated for sale in the quarter, compared to $3.5 million in the prior quarter, and $23.1 million a year ago.

Asset quality:

•Total nonperforming loans and leases were $185.0 million, or 0.36 percent of total loans and leases, compared to $203.8 million, or 0.41 percent of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2022, and $248.1 million, or 0.57 percent of total loans and leases, at March 31, 2022.

•Past due loans and leases were $44.2 million, compared to $73.7 million at December 31, 2022, and $71.5 million at March 31, 2022.

Deposits and borrowings:

•Total deposits were $55.3 billion, compared to $54.1 billion at December 31, 2022, and $54.4 billion at March 31, 2022. Core deposits to total deposits1 were 91.8 percent, compared to 92.3 percent at December 31, 2022, and 94.8 percent at March 31, 2022. The loan to deposit ratio was 92.1 percent at both March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and 80.1 percent at March 31, 2022.

•Total borrowings were $9.9 billion, compared to $7.7 billion at December 31, 2022, and $1.6 billion at March 31, 2022.

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, ROATCE, and other performance ratios, in each case as adjusted, is included in the accompanying selected financial highlights table.

Webster believes that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding its financial performance, performance trends, and financial position. Webster utilizes these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Webster, as well as securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties, also use these measures to compare peer company operating performance. Webster believes that its presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its 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 Webster strongly encourages investors to review its 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.

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 stockholders' equity (ROATCE) measures the Company’s net income available to common stockholders, adjusted for the tax-effected amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of average stockholders’ equity less average preferred stock and average goodwill and intangible assets. The tangible equity ratio represents stockholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. The tangible common equity ratio represents stockholders’ 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 stockholders’ 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 certificates of deposit and brokered time deposits. Adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted ROATCE, and adjusted return on average assets (ROAA) are calculated by excluding after tax non-operational items including merger-related expenses and the initial non-PCD provision related to the merger. See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
