Insights

Webster Financial reported solid Q3 2024 results, with net income of $188.8 million or $1.10 per diluted share. Adjusted EPS of $1.34 excludes $56.2 million in pre-tax losses from securities repositioning and restructuring costs.

Key highlights include:

  • Revenue of $647.6 million
  • Loan growth of 0.7% to $51.9 billion
  • Deposit growth of 3.6% to $64.5 billion
  • Net interest margin improved 4 bps to 3.36%
  • Common equity tier 1 ratio of 11.23%

The bank's diversified business model showed resilience, with growth across segments despite challenging conditions. The 3.6% deposit growth is particularly noteworthy in the current environment. While net interest income remained relatively flat year-over-year, the improved NIM suggests better pricing power. The 1.32% allowance for credit losses appears adequate given the current economic outlook.

Webster's Q3 results demonstrate the bank's ability to navigate a complex operating environment. The 3.6% deposit growth, including $2.6 billion in core deposits, is impressive and reflects the strength of Webster's franchise. This growth has improved the loan-to-deposit ratio to 80.5%, enhancing liquidity.

The bank's strategic actions, including the CRE securitization and securities repositioning, show proactive balance sheet management. These moves should help mitigate interest rate risk and optimize capital allocation. The improved efficiency ratio of 45.49% indicates effective cost control.

However, the rise in nonperforming loans to 0.82% of total loans warrants monitoring, although the 162% coverage ratio provides a substantial buffer. The 0.27% net charge-off ratio remains manageable but has ticked up slightly.

Overall, Webster's diversified business model and strong capital position (CET1 of 11.23%) provide resilience in a challenging banking environment.

Consolidated financial performance:

Quarterly net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2023:

  • Net interest income was $589.9 million compared to $587.1 million.
  • Net interest margin was 3.36 percent compared to 3.49 percent. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 20 basis points, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 35 basis points.
  • Average interest-earning assets totaled $69.8 billion and increased by $2.7 billion, or 4.0 percent.
  • Average loans and leases totaled $51.8 billion and increased by $0.8 billion, or 1.6 percent.
  • Average deposits totaled $62.6 billion and increased by $3.0 billion, or 5.0 percent.

Quarterly provision for credit losses:

  • The provision for credit losses was $54.0 million in the quarter, contributing to a $18.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases from the prior quarter. The provision for credit losses was $59.0 million in the prior quarter, and $36.5 million a year ago.
  • Net charge-offs were $35.4 million, compared to $33.1 million in the prior quarter, and $29.3 million a year ago. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases was 0.27 percent, compared to 0.26 percent in the prior quarter, and 0.23 percent a year ago.
  • The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases represented 1.32 percent of total loans and leases, compared to 1.30 percent at June 30, 2024, and 1.27 percent at September 30, 2023. The allowance represented 162 percent of nonperforming loans and leases, compared to 181 percent at June 30, 2024, and 295 percent at September 30, 2023.

Quarterly non-interest income compared to the third quarter of 2023:

  • Total non-interest income was $57.7 million compared to $90.4 million, a decrease of $32.7 million. Total non-interest income includes a $19.6 million net loss on the sale of investment securities and a $16.0 million loss on the exit of non-core operations including the write-off of a related customer intangible. Excluding these items, total non-interest income increased $2.9 million. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of Ametros and higher investment services income, which was partially offset by a reduction in the credit valuation adjustment on customer derivatives.

Quarterly non-interest expense compared to the third quarter of 2023:

  • Total non-interest expense was $349.0 million compared to $362.6 million, a decrease of $13.6 million. Total non-interest expense includes a net $20.6 million related to strategic restructuring costs and other adjustments partially offset by a benefit on the FDIC special assessment compared to a net $61.6 million of Sterling merger charges a year ago. Excluding those charges, total non-interest expense increased $27.4 million. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of Ametros and related intangible amortization expense, along with investments in human capital and technology.

Quarterly income taxes compared to the third quarter of 2023:

  • Income tax expense was $51.7 million compared to $52.0 million, and the effective tax rate was 21.1 percent compared to 18.7 percent. The lower effective tax rate in the period a year ago reflected the recognition of discrete tax benefits from merger related charges and tax return true-up adjustments, while the current period includes discrete tax expense from tax return true-ups and other items.

Investment securities:

  • Total investment securities, net were $17.2 billion, compared to $16.4 billion at June 30, 2024, and $14.5 billion at September 30, 2023. The carrying value of the available-for-sale portfolio included $486.1 million of net unrealized losses, compared to $772.2 million at June 30, 2024, and $1.1 billion at September 30, 2023. The carrying value of the held-to-maturity portfolio does not reflect $677.0 million of net unrealized losses, compared to $964.5 million at June 30, 2024, and $1.2 billion at September 30, 2023.

Loans and leases:

  • Total loans and leases were $51.9 billion, compared to $51.6 billion at June 30, 2024, and $50.1 billion at September 30, 2023. Compared to June 30, 2024, commercial loans and leases increased by $628.6 million, commercial real estate loans decreased by $586.4 million, residential mortgages increased by $292.3 million, and consumer loans increased by $39.1 million.
  • Compared to a year ago, commercial loans and leases increased by $0.4 billion, commercial real estate loans increased by $1.1 billion, residential mortgages increased by $348.2 million, and consumer loans decreased by $26.9 million.
  • Loan originations for the portfolio were $2.8 billion, compared to $3.0 billion in the prior quarter, and $1.5 billion a year ago. In addition, $0.8 million of residential loans were originated for sale in the quarter, compared to $0.8 million in the prior quarter, and $1.5 million a year ago.

Asset quality:

  • Total nonperforming loans and leases were $425.6 million, or 0.82 percent of total loans and leases, compared to $368.8 million, or 0.72 percent of total loans and leases, at June 30, 2024, and $215.1 million, or 0.43 percent of total loans and leases, at September 30, 2023.
  • Past due loans and leases were $108.9 million, compared to $166.3 million at June 30, 2024, and $70.7 million at September 30, 2023. The decrease from prior quarter is driven primarily by commercial non-mortgage, partially offset by commercial real estate and residential mortgages.

Deposits and borrowings:

  • Total deposits were $64.5 billion, compared to $62.3 billion at June 30, 2024, and $60.3 billion at September 30, 2023.

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue decreased $24.3 million, to $270.8 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income decreased $26.6 million, to $338.4 million, primarily driven by higher loan funding costs coupled with higher deposit rates. Non-interest income increased $4.5 million, to $33.3 million, primarily driven by loan sale/securitization activity in the quarter. Non-interest expense increased $2.2 million, to $100.9 million, primarily driven by continued investments in human capital and technology.

Pre-tax net revenue increased $7.9 million, to $66.5 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income increased $16.3 million, to $93.9 million, primarily due to $11.8 million from Ametros and an increase in net deposit spread coupled with deposit growth at HSA Bank. Non-interest income increased $5.7 million, to $26.5 million, primarily due to $6.8 million from Ametros, offset by a decrease of $1.1 million from HSA Bank. The decrease in HSA Bank was the net result of lower customer account fees partially offset by higher interchange revenue. Non-interest expense increased $14.1 million, to $54.0 million, primarily due to $11.8 million from Ametros. HSA Bank expenses were $2.3 million higher due to higher service contract expense related to account growth and support costs.

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 business banking business units, as well as a distribution network consisting of 196 banking centers and 347 ATMs, a customer care center, and a full range of web and mobile-based banking services.

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue decreased $19.0 million, to $114.2 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income decreased $19.6 million, to $202.1 million, primarily driven by higher rates paid on deposits, partially offset by loan and deposit growth. Non-interest income decreased $0.4 million, to $28.3 million, primarily driven by lower deposit service fees and loan related fees, partially offset by increased ATM fees and investment services income. Non-interest expense decreased $1.0 million, to $116.3 million, primarily driven by lower compensation and processing expenses, partially offset by higher technology costs.

Any forward-looking statement made by Webster in this release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause Webster’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Webster to predict all of them. Webster undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

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, return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, 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 additional clarity of factors and trends affecting its business and allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management.

The efficiency ratio, which represents the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, is calculated excluding certain non-operational items. The return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity (ROATCE) represents 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 net intangible assets. The tangible equity ratio represents stockholders’ equity less goodwill and net intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and net intangible assets. The tangible common equity ratio represents stockholders’ equity less preferred stock and goodwill and net intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and net intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share represents stockholders’ equity less preferred stock and goodwill and net intangible assets divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Core deposits reflect total deposits less certificates of deposit and brokered certificates of deposit. Adjusted pre-tax net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted ROATCE, and adjusted return on average assets (ROAA) are calculated excluding a net loss on sale of investment securities, exit of non-core operations, strategic restructuring costs, and a FDIC special assessment benefit, which have been tax-effected.

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.
