"Our first quarter results marked a solid start to the year and further highlighted the strengths of the franchise," said Jack Barnes, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In February, we announced the merger with M&T, a like-minded partner that has a similar culture, approach to service, complementary offerings, and minimal geographic overlap. This transaction will bring together two high-performing and well-respected institutions to create a leading U.S. super regional bank. The combined company will provide customers greater access to branches, expert bankers, innovative solutions, and enhanced digital capabilities. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and building upon the legacy forged by People's United over 178 years. Importantly, as we work towards the close of the merger, our focus remains steadfast on delivering value to customers, supporting communities, and caring for colleagues."

"We are pleased with the Company's financial performance in the first quarter," stated David Rosato, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Operating income of $156.5 million, increased six percent linked-quarter and generated an operating return of average tangible common equity of 13.8 percent. These results included modestly higher net interest income, continued well-controlled expenses, and a negative provision for credit losses primarily driven by an improved economic outlook. Net interest margin of 2.74 percent was 10 basis points lower than the fourth quarter due to lower yields in the securities portfolio, two fewer calendars days and increased excess liquidity. These headwinds were partially offset by a further reduction in deposits costs for the seventh consecutive quarter, and stable loan yields. The loan-to-deposit ratio concluded the quarter at 80 percent as loans decreased $1.1 billion or three percent from December 31, while deposits grew $1.3 billion or three percent. The decline in period-end loans was largely driven by $586 million in lower retail balances, and a $431 million reduction in mortgage warehouse from a record level at year-end. Conversely, the loan portfolio benefited from a net increase in PPP balances of $288 million and continued solid results in LEAF. Deposit growth reflected federal stimulus payments, PPP funds and strong inflows in our municipal business."

(1) In the first quarter of 2021, the Company completed a portfolio review to ensure consistent classification of certain
commercial loans across the Company's franchise and conformity to industry practice for such loans. As a result,
approximately $350 million of loans secured by non-owner-occupied commercial properties were prospectively
reclassified, in March 2021, from commercial and industrial loans to commercial real estate loans. Prior period
balances were not restated to conform to the current presentation.

People's United Financial, Inc.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP
In addition to evaluating People's United Financial Inc. ("People's United") results of operations in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis
of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the efficiency and tangible common equity ratios, tangible book value per
common share and operating earnings metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide
information useful to investors in understanding People's United's underlying operating performance and trends, and
facilitates comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Further, the efficiency ratio and operating
earnings metrics are used by management in its assessment of financial performance, including non-interest expense
control, while the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share are used to analyze the
relative strength of People's United's capital position.
The efficiency ratio, which represents an approximate measure of the cost required by People's United to generate a
dollar of revenue, is the ratio of (i) total non-interest expense (excluding operating lease expense, goodwill impairment
charges, amortization of other acquisition-related intangible assets, losses on real estate assets and non-recurring
expenses) (the numerator) to (ii) net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis plus total non-interest
income (including the FTE adjustment on bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") income, the netting of operating lease
expense and excluding gains and losses on sales of assets other than residential mortgage loans and acquired loans, and
non-recurring income) (the denominator). People's United 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 available to common shareholders 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'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: (i) non-recurring gains/losses; (ii) merger-related expenses, including
acquisition integration and other costs; (iii) writedowns of banking house assets and related lease termination costs;
(iv) severance-related costs; and (v) charges related to executive-level management separation costs, are generally also
excluded when calculating the efficiency ratio. Operating earnings per common share ("EPS") is derived by determining the
per common share impact of the respective adjustments to arrive at operating earnings and adding (subtracting) such
amounts to (from) diluted EPS, as reported. Operating return on average assets is calculated by dividing operating earnings
(annualized) by average total assets. Operating return on average tangible common equity is calculated by dividing
operating earnings (annualized) by average tangible common equity. The operating common dividend payout ratio is
calculated by dividing common dividends paid by operating earnings for the respective period.
Pre-provision net revenue is a useful financial measure as it enables an assessment of the Company's ability to generate
earnings to cover credit losses through a credit cycle as well as providing an additional basis for comparing the Company's
results of operation between periods by isolating the impact of the provision for credit losses, which can vary significantly
between periods.
The tangible common equity ratio is the ratio of (i) tangible common equity (total stockholders' equity less preferred
stock, goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets) (the numerator) to (ii) tangible assets (total assets less
goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets) (the denominator). Tangible book value per common share is
calculated by dividing tangible common equity by common shares (total common shares issued, less common shares
classified as treasury shares and unallocated Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") common shares).
In light of diversity in presentation among financial institutions, the methodologies used by People's United for
determining the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above may differ from those used by other financial
institutions.
