Asset Quality
-- Total nonperforming assets were $263.2 million or 2.15 percent of total loans and other real estate owned at December 31, 2008 compared to $250.5 million or 1.94 percent at September 30, 2008. The $12.7 million increase in nonperforming assets was primarily attributed to a $7.9 million increase in other real estate owned and a $6.2 million increase in non performing loans in the liquidating portfolio offset by a decline of $1.4 million of nonperforming loans in the continuing portfolio
-- Past due loans for the continuing portfolios totaled $117.4 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $15.3 million compared to $102.1 million at September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily related to increases of $12.3 million in commercial, $1.8 million in equipment financing, $5.5 million in residential loans and $10.6 million in consumer loans offset by decreases in commercial real estate of $11.1 million and residential development of $3.6 million. Past due loans for the liquidating portfolio totaled $21.0 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $19.1 million at September 30, 2008.
Net interest income
-- Net interest margin was 3.20 percent in the fourth quarter compared to 3.32 percent in the third quarter; the decline reflects the impact of three Federal Reserve rate reductions totaling 175 bps in the fourth quarter as well as interest reversals on nonaccrual loans and pooled trust preferred securities.
-- Average earning assets totaled $15.9 billion, up from $15.8 billion last quarter.
Provision For Credit Losses
-- $75.0 million of the provision for credit losses was related to the Company's continuing portfolios, including $30.0 million for residential development loans in the commercial real estate portfolio, and $25.0 million was related to the liquidating home equity portfolio.
-- The increase over the third quarter reflects charge-offs based on recent appraisals on nonaccruing residential development loans, higher forecasted charge-offs for the liquidating home equity portfolio in light of deteriorating economic conditions, and increased reserve levels for other lines of business given economic deterioration.
Non-interest income
-- Deposit service fees declined by $1.7 million from last quarter; primarily from a decline in NSF fees.
-- Wealth and investment services revenues declined by $590,000; primarily from a decline in the value of assets under management due to adverse market conditions.
-- Loss on sale of securities totaled $4.2 million; primarily to maximize tax strategies.
Non-interest expenses
-- Excluding goodwill impairment and OneWebster charges, the decline from last quarter represents reduced operating expenses from One Webster initiatives as well as a significant reduction in incentive compensation.
Income Taxes
-- Due to the pre-tax loss, the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter was not meaningful. The $64.0 million tax benefit in the quarter on the $364.5 million pre-tax loss applicable to continuing operations in the period was impacted primarily by substantially no tax benefit being available on the goodwill impairment charge ($66 million otherwise) and to a lesser extent, no tax benefit being available on a portion of the securities losses.
-- For tax purposes, $19.6 million of the securities losses are capital in nature and the tax benefits on those have been limited ($6.8 million otherwise). Offsetting that, in part, was the recognition of a $3.8 million tax benefit due to the October 2008 passage of the U.S. Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, which included a provision permitting banks to treat losses relating to FNMA and FHLMC preferred stock as ordinary instead of capital. The $3.8 million of benefit pertains to losses incurred by the Company prior to the fourth quarter when the tax benefits were limited.
Investment securities
-- Total investments were $3.8 billion at December 31, 2008 compared to $3.0 billion at September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily driven by a $468 million residential loan securitization undertaken in the fourth quarter. The securitization was undertaken to generate additional collateral for borrowings and municipal deposits.
Loans
-- Total loans were $12.2 billion at December 31, 2008 compared to $12.9 billion at September 30, 2008. In the fourth quarter, commercial and commercial real estate loans decreased by $90.2 million and $133.0 million, respectively while consumer increased by $43.8 million. Residential mortgage loans declined by $499.4 million largely as a result of the aforementioned residential loan securitization undertaken during the fourth quarter.
Deposits and borrowings
-- Total deposits were $11.9 billion at December 31, 2008 compared to $11.8 billion at September 30, 2008. In the fourth quarter, consumer preferences shifted to certificates of deposits, savings accounts and NOW accounts as balances increased $184.8 million, $43.1 million and $61.6 million, respectively. Offsetting these increases were decreases in demand deposits and money market accounts of $16.0 million and $235.2 million, respectively.
-- Core deposits as a percent of total deposits was 59.0 percent at December 31, 2008 compared to 60.5 percent at the end of the third quarter and 59.5 percent a year ago.
-- Total borrowings were $3.6 billion, a decline of $107 million from $3.7 billion at September 30, 2008.

Forward-looking Statements
Statements in this press release regarding Webster Financial Corporation's business that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of such risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statement, see "Forward Looking Statements" in Webster's Annual Report for 2007. Except as required by law, Webster does not undertake to update any such forward looking information.
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 and other performance ratios, as adjusted, is included in the accompanying selected financial highlights table.
We believe that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, our performance trends and financial position. Specifically, we provide measures based on what we believe are our operating earnings on a consistent basis and exclude non-core operating items which affect the GAAP reporting of results of operations. We utilize these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We, as well as securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, also use these measures to compare peer company operating performance. We believe that our presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our 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 we strongly encourage investors to review our 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.
