Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased $40.1 million, to $311.7 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income increased $57.8 million, to $391.4 million, primarily driven by loan growth and the impact of the higher rate environment.

Non-interest expense increased $7.9 million, to $110.3 million, primarily resulting from continued investments in technology and talent to support balance sheet growth.

Pre-tax net revenue increased $10.9 million, to $58.6 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income increased $19.1 million, to $77.7 million, primarily due to an increase in net deposit spread and growth in deposits. Non-interest income decreased $5.0 million, to $20.8 million, primarily due to lower customer account service fees. Non-interest expense increased $3.1 million, to $39.9 million, primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expense, 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 199 banking centers and 350 ATMs, a customer care center, and a full range of web and mobile-based banking services.

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue decreased $3.5 million, to $116.5 million, in the quarter as compared to prior year. Net interest income decreased $0.4 million, to $195.3 million, primarily driven by a slight decrease in deposits, partially offset by continued loan growth. Non-interest income decreased $7.0 million, to $26.9 million, driven by lower net investment services income, which was attributable to an outsourcing model adopted in the fourth quarter of 2022, and lower deposit and loan servicing related fees, partially offset by other miscellaneous income. Non-interest expense decreased $3.9 million, to $105.7 million, primarily driven by the impact of outsourcing the consumer investment services platform, coupled with lower technology expenses.

Consolidated financial performance:

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

•Net interest income was $587.1 million compared to $551.0 million.

•Net interest margin was 3.49 percent compared to 3.54 percent. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 153 basis points, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 169 basis points.

•Average interest-earning assets totaled $67.1 billion and increased by $5.0 billion, or 8.0 percent.

•Average loans and leases totaled $50.9 billion and increased by $4.7 billion, or 10.1 percent.

•Average deposits totaled $59.6 billion and increased by $5.6 billion, or 10.4 percent.

Quarterly provision for credit losses:

•The provision for credit losses was $36.5 million in the quarter, reflecting a $6.5 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases from prior quarter. The provision also reflects an increase in the reserves on unfunded loan commitments of $0.7 million. The provision for credit losses was $31.5 million in the prior quarter, and $36.5 million a year ago.

•Net charge-offs were $29.3 million, compared to $20.3 million in the prior quarter, and $28.5 million a year ago. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases was 0.23 percent, compared to 0.16 percent in the prior quarter, and 0.25 percent a year ago.

•The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases represented 1.27 percent of total loans and leases, compared to 1.22 percent at June 30, 2023, and 1.20 percent at September 30, 2022. The allowance represented 295 percent of nonperforming loans and leases at September 30, 2023, compared to 287 percent at June 30, 2023, and 274 percent at September 30, 2022.

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

•Total non-interest income was $90.4 million compared to $113.6 million, a decrease of $23.2 million. The decrease primarily reflects lower prepayment and other loan related servicing fees, lower client deposit fees, the outsourcing of the consumer investment services platform, and lower client hedging activity. Total non-interest income for the third quarter of 2022 includes a net $0.3 million related to a gain on the early termination of repurchase agreements partially offset by a loss on the sale of investment securities.

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

•Total non-interest expense was $362.6 million compared to $330.1 million, an increase of $32.5 million. Total non-interest expense includes a net $61.6 million of merger charges, compared to a net $26.7 million of merger and strategic initiatives and a $10.5 million donation to the Webster Bank Charitable Foundation a year ago. Excluding those charges, total non-interest expense increased $8.1 million. The increase reflects general inflationary impacts, including employee compensation and benefits expense, investments in technology, including the HSA and interLINK acquisitions, and higher deposit insurance expense, offset by expense benefits from the merger and outsourcing of the consumer investments services platform.

Quarterly income taxes compared to the third quarter of 2022:

•Income tax expense was $52.0 million compared to $64.1 million, and the effective tax rate was 18.7 percent compared to 21.5 percent. The lower effective tax rate in the current period reflects the impact of higher merger related charges compared to the 2022 period, as well as the recognition of a $3.3 million net discrete benefit during the quarter attributable to 2022 tax return true-up adjustments.

Investment securities:

•Total investment securities, net were $14.5 billion, compared to $14.7 billion at June 30, 2023, and $14.6 billion at September 30, 2022. The carrying value of the available-for-sale portfolio included $1.1 billion of net unrealized losses, compared to $883.0 million at June 30, 2023, and $941.8 million at September 30, 2022.

Loans and leases:

•Total loans and leases were $50.1 billion, compared to $51.6 billion at June 30, 2023, and $47.8 billion at September 30, 2022.

•Loan originations for the portfolio were $1.5 billion, compared to $2.5 billion in the prior quarter, and $5.1 billion a year ago. In addition, $1.5 million of residential loans were originated for sale in the quarter, compared to $5.7 million in the prior quarter, and $1.5 million a year ago.

Asset quality:

•Total nonperforming loans and leases were $215.1 million, or 0.43 percent of total loans and leases, compared to $218.9 million, or 0.42 percent of total loans and leases, at June 30, 2023, and $209.5 million, or 0.44 percent of total loans and leases, at September 30, 2022.

•Past due loans and leases were $70.9 million, compared to $51.4 million at June 30, 2023, and $46.4 million at September 30, 2022.

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.

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION

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 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 net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted ROATCE, and adjusted return on average assets (ROAA) are calculated excluding after tax merger-related expenses.

See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
