Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue decreased $29.1 million, to $302.2 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income decreased $14.6 million, to $377.7 million, primarily driven by lower deposit balances coupled with higher rates paid on deposits, partially offset by loan growth. Non-interest income decreased $8.4 million, to $34.4 million, driven by decreases in loan servicing income, syndication fees, direct investments income, and cash management fees. Non-interest expense increased $6.2 million, to $109.9 million, primarily resulting from continued investments in technology and talent to support balance sheet growth.
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. Health savings accounts are distributed nationwide directly to employers and individual consumers, as well as through national and regional insurance carriers, benefit consultants, and financial advisors.

All values are in US Dollars.
Pre-tax net revenue increased $6.3 million, to $56.3 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income increased $12.6 million, to $78.0 million, primarily due to an increase in net deposit spread and growth in deposits. Non-interest income decreased $5.0 million, to $20.2 million, primarily due to lower customer fees. Non-interest expense increased $1.3 million, to $41.9 million, primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expense 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 198 banking centers and 349 ATMs, a customer care center, and a full range of web and mobile-based banking services.

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue decreased $12.5 million, to $110.0 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income decreased $20.9 million, to $188.1 million, primarily driven by higher rates paid on deposits, partially offset by loan and deposit growth. Non-interest income decreased $1.4 million, to $25.7 million, driven by lower deposit fee income, partially offset by gains on loan sales and higher investment services and other miscellaneous income. Non-interest expense decreased $9.9 million, to $103.8 million, primarily driven by lower technology and shared services expenses, coupled with the impact of outsourcing the consumer investment services platform.
Consolidated financial performance:
Quarterly net interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2022:
•Net interest income was $571.0 million compared to $602.4 million.
•Net interest margin was 3.42 percent compared to 3.74 percent. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 94 basis points, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 136 basis points.
•Average interest-earning assets totaled $66.6 billion and increased by $2.6 billion, or 4.1 percent.
•Average loans and leases totaled $50.4 billion and increased by $1.8 billion, or 3.7 percent.
•Average deposits totaled $60.0 billion and increased by $5.9 billion, or 11.0 percent.
Quarterly provision for credit losses:
•The provision for credit losses was $36.0 million in the quarter, contributing to a $0.3 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases from prior quarter. The provision also contributed to an increase in the reserves on unfunded loan commitments of $1.7 million. The provision for credit losses was $36.5 million in the prior quarter, and $43.0 million a year ago.
•Net charge-offs were $34.0 million, compared to $29.3 million in the prior quarter, and $20.2 million a year ago. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases was 0.27 percent, compared to 0.23 percent in the prior quarter, and 0.17 percent a year ago.
•The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases represented 1.25 percent of total loans and leases, compared to 1.27 percent at September 30, 2023, and 1.20 percent at December 31, 2022. The allowance represented 303 percent of nonperforming loans and leases at December 31, 2023, compared to 295 percent at September 30, 2023, and 292 percent at December 31, 2022.
Quarterly non-interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2022:
•Total non-interest income was $63.8 million compared to $102.2 million, a decrease of $38.4 million. Total non-interest income includes a $16.8 million and $4.5 million loss on the sale of investment securities for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Excluding those losses, total non-interest income decreased $26.1 million. The decrease primarily reflects lower deposit fees, lower loan syndication, prepayment, and other transaction fees, and a decline in other non-interest income due to a non-cash swing in our modeled credit valuation adjustment on customer derivatives, direct investment income, and bank-owned life insurance income.
Quarterly non-interest expense compared to the fourth quarter of 2022:
•Total non-interest expense was $377.2 million compared to $348.4 million, an increase of $28.8 million. Total non-interest expense includes $47.2 million related to a FDIC special assessment and a net $30.7 million of merger related expense, compared to a net $45.9 million of merger and strategic initiatives charges a year ago. Excluding those charges, total non-interest expense decreased $3.1 million. The decrease reflects lower consulting, project, and loan related expenses, partially offset by increases in compensation and benefits and deposit insurance expense.
Quarterly income taxes compared to the fourth quarter of 2022:
•Income tax expense was $36.2 million compared to $68.4 million, and the effective tax rate was 16.3 percent compared to 21.8 percent. The lower effective tax rate in the current period reflects the recognition of a $5.5 million net discrete benefit attributable to 2022 state and local tax return true-up adjustments, along with the impact of decreased pre-tax income compared to the 2022 period.
Investment securities:
•Total investment securities, net were $16.0 billion, compared to $14.5 billion at both September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

The carrying value of the held-to-maturity portfolio does not reflect $810.2 million of net unrealized losses, compared to $1.2 billion at September 30, 2023, and $803.4 million at December 31, 2022.
Loans and leases:
•Total loans and leases were $50.7 billion, compared to $50.1 billion at September 30, 2023, and $49.8 billion at December 31, 2022. Compared to September 30, 2023, commercial loans and leases increased by $80.6 million, commercial real estate loans increased by $574.5 million, residential mortgages decreased by $0.5 million, and consumer loans decreased by $16.7 million.

Asset quality:
•Total nonperforming loans and leases were $209.5 million, or 0.41 percent of total loans and leases, compared to $215.1 million, or 0.43 percent of total loans and leases, at September 30, 2023, and $203.8 million, or 0.41 percent of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2022.
•Past due loans and leases were $46.6 million, compared to $70.7 million at September 30, 2023, and $73.7 million at December 31, 2022.

Forward-looking statements are based on Webster's current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Webster’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, which are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Factors that could cause Webster's actual results to differ from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: Webster's ability to successfully integrate the operations of Webster and Sterling Bancorp and realize the anticipated benefits of the merger, including validation of Webster's recently completed core conversion and any issues that may arise therefrom; Webster's ability to successfully execute its business plan and strategic initiatives, and manage any risks or uncertainties; any continuation of the recent turmoil in the banking industry, including the associated impact of any regulatory changes or other mitigation efforts taken by government agencies in response; volatility in Webster's stock price due to investor sentiment, including in light of the recent turmoil in the banking industry; local, regional, national, and international economic conditions, and the impact they may have on Webster or its customers; volatility and disruption in national and international financial markets, including as a result of geopolitical conflict; unforeseen events, such as pandemics or natural disasters, and any governmental or societal responses thereto; changes in laws and regulations, or existing laws and regulations that Webster becomes subject to, including those concerning banking, taxes, dividends, securities, insurance, and healthcare, with which Webster and its subsidiaries must comply; adverse conditions in the securities markets that could lead to impairment in the value of Webster's securities portfolio; inflation, monetary fluctuations, the possibility of a recession, and changes in interest rates, including the impact of such changes on economic conditions, customer behavior, funding costs, and Webster's loans and leases and securities portfolios; possible changes in governmental monetary and fiscal policies, including, but not limited to, the Federal Reserve policies in connection with continued inflationary pressures and the ability of the U.S. Congress to increase the U.S. statutory debt limit as needed; the impact of a potential U.S. federal government shutdown; the timely development and acceptance of new products and services, and the perceived value of those products and services by customers; changes in deposit flows, consumer spending, borrowings, and savings habits; Webster's ability to implement new technologies and maintain secure and reliable technology systems; the effects of any cyber threats, attacks or events, or fraudulent activity, including those that involve Webster's third-party vendors and service providers; performance by Webster's counterparties and third-party vendors; Webster's ability to increase market share and control expenses; changes in the competitive environment among banks, financial holding companies, and other traditional and non-traditional financial service providers; Webster's ability to maintain adequate sources of funding and liquidity; changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs; changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon periodic review under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices applicable to Webster, including the impacts of recently adopted accounting guidance; Webster's inability to remediate the material weaknesses in its internal control related to ineffective information technology general controls; legal and regulatory developments, including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews; Webster's ability to appropriately address any environmental, social, governmental, and sustainability concerns that may arise from its business activities; and the other factors that are described in Webster's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended in 2023. 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.
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.

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures
Webster evaluates its business based on certain ratios that utilize non-GAAP financial measures. Webster believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the operating results and financial position of the Company. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.
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 FDIC special assessment, merger related expense, and loss on sale of investment securities, each of which have been tax-effected.
See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
