Highlights for the quarter or at December 31 include:
-- Earnings per diluted share, excluding one-time items, would be $0.52
compared to $0.50 in the prior quarter and $0.53 a year ago.
-- Combined growth in commercial and commercial real estate loans of $695.6
million, or 11.4 percent, from a year ago. Overall loan growth of $671.1
million, or 5.6 percent, from a year ago.
-- Deposit growth of $323.6 million, or 2.2 percent, from a year ago.
-- The efficiency ratio of 59.30 percent improved by 38 basis points from a
year ago. Positive operating leverage of 1.6 percent from the linked
quarter and 0.9 percent year-over-year.
-- Record core revenue of $205.4 million including record net interest
income of $153.9 million.
-- Continued improvement in asset quality as evidenced by a reduction of
37.6 percent in commercial classified loans and a 28.8 percent reduction
in past due loans from a year ago. Nonperforming assets decreased 13.4
percent from a year ago.
-- $7.3 million pre-tax impact from other-than-temporary impairment
("OTTI") charge on certain investment securities (CDO's and CLO's) which
was required due to the recently released interagency guidance on
permissible investments under the Volcker Rule in the Dodd-Frank Act.
The after-tax effect was $4.7 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the
quarter.
-- Excluding the OTTI charge, return on average assets and return on
average tangible common equity were 0.94 percent and 12.38 percent,
respectively, in the quarter compared to 0.98 percent and 13.66 percent,
respectively, in the year ago quarter.
"Webster posted a solid quarter with record core pre-provision net revenue of $80 million. Total core revenue exceeded $200 million for the first time in our history," said James C. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer. "Commercial Banking once again led the way in the quarter with continued double-digit loan growth, and wealth management achieved record revenue."
Net interest income (compared to prior year)
-- Net interest income was $153.9 million compared to $146.3 million.
-- Net interest margin was 3.27 percent for both periods. The yield on
interest-earning assets and the cost of funds both declined by 12 basis
points.
-- Average interest-earning assets totaled $19.1 billion and grew by $811
million, or 4.4 percent.
-- Average loans grew by $755.5 million, or 6.4 percent.
Provision for loan losses
-- The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $9.0 million as
total loans grew, compared to $8.5 million in the prior quarter and $7.5
million a year earlier.
-- Net charge-offs were $14.0 million compared to $14.4 million in the
third quarter and $16.5 million in the year ago period. The ratio of net
charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.45 percent
compared to 0.47 percent in the third quarter and 0.56 percent a year
ago.
-- The allowance for loan losses represented 1.20 percent of total loans at
year end compared to 1.26 percent at September 30 and 1.47 percent at
year end 2012. The allowance for loan losses represented 93.65 percent
of nonperforming loans at year end compared to 88.7 percent at September
30 and 90.9 percent at year end 2012.
Noninterest income (compared to prior year)
-- Total noninterest income was $44.3 million compared to $52.9 million, a
decrease of $8.7 million; of this decrease, $7.3 million was related to
the OTTI charge for certain investment securities related to the Volcker
Rule of the Dodd-Frank Act.
-- Excluding the OTTI charge and securities gains, a $1.4 million
year-over-year decrease in core noninterest income reflects a decrease
of $5.7 million in mortgage banking activities, which was offset by
increases of $2.1 million in wealth and investment services, $1.6
million in other income which included $1.1 million in client swap fees,
$0.4 million in loan related fees, and $0.4 million in deposit service
fees.
Noninterest expense (compared to prior year)
-- Total noninterest expense of $126.6 million compared to $122.9 million,
an increase of $3.7 million. Included in noninterest expense in the
fourth quarter of 2013 are $1.6 million of net one-time costs that
amounted to $0.01 per diluted share on an after-tax basis. These costs
consisted primarily of a write-down on assets held for disposition as
part of our banking office optimization and severance expenses. There
were $0.8 million of net one-time costs in the year ago quarter.
-- Total noninterest expense excluding one-time costs increased $3.0
million. This reflects increases of $2.4 million in compensation and
benefits primarily related to group medical and share-price increase
expenses; $1.6 million in other expenses; $1.1 million in professional
and outside services; and $0.3 million in foreclosed and repossessed
asset expenses, net of gains. These increases were partially offset by
decreases of $1.0 million in loan workout expenses, $0.9 million in
technology and equipment expenses, $0.5 million in deposit insurance,
and $0.1 million in occupancy expenses.
-- Foreclosed and repossessed asset expenses were $0.4 million compared to
$0.3 million, while net gains on foreclosed and repossessed assets were
$0.2 million compared to $0.4 million.
Glenn MacInnes, chief financial officer, said, "The fourth quarter results reflect our ongoing commitment to operating efficiency, pricing discipline on both loans and deposits, prudent management of interest rate and credit risk, and continued attention to asset quality."
Income taxes
-- The Company recorded $18.8 million of income tax expense in the fourth
quarter. The effective tax rate was 30.0 percent compared to 29.5
percent a year ago and reflects a $0.3 million net tax benefit specific

year ago.

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 actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (1) local, regional, national, and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on us and our customers and our assessment of that impact; (2) volatility and disruption in national and international financial markets; (3) government intervention in the U.S. financial system; (4) changes in the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs; (5) changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements; (6) adverse conditions in the securities markets that lead to impairment in the value of securities in our investment portfolio; (7) inflation, interest rate, securities market, and monetary fluctuations; (8) the timely development and acceptance of new products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by customers; (9) changes in consumer spending, borrowings, and savings habits; (10) technological changes; (11) the ability to increase market share and control expenses; (12) changes in the competitive environment among banks, financial holding companies, and other financial service providers; (13) the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, and insurance) with which we and our subsidiaries must comply, including those under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Basel III update to the Basel Accords that is under development; (14) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other accounting standard setters; (15) the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews; and (16) our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items and (17) the other factors that are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the heading "Risk Factors."

The Company 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 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.

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures
------------------------------------------
The Company evaluates its business based on the following ratios that utilize tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity measures the Company's net income available to common shareholders, adjusted for the tax-affected amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of average common
shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). The tangible equity ratio represents total ending shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights) divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). The tangible
common equity ratio represents ending common shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights) divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Tangible book value per common share represents ending common shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible
assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights) divided by ending common shares outstanding.
The efficiency ratio, which measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, is calculated excluding foreclosed property expense, amortization of intangibles, gain or loss on securities, and other non-recurring items. Accordingly, this is also a non-GAAP financial measure.
See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP for the three months ended December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, June 30, 2013, March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012. The Company believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the
results of the Company. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.
