PHILADELPHIA, April 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sovereign Bancorp,
Inc. ("Sovereign") (NYSE: SOV), parent company of Sovereign Bank ("Bank"),
today reported net income for the first quarter of 2007 of $48.1 million,
or $.09 per diluted share as compared to $141 million, or $.36 per diluted
share, for the first quarter of 2006. Net income in first quarter of 2007
included net charges related to the previously announced expense reduction
initiative and balance sheet restructuring of $52.3 million after-tax or
$.11 per share, as well as merger related and other one-time charges which
in the aggregate was less than $.01 per share. In addition, a charge
related to the correspondent home equity held for sale portfolio was
recorded of $76.4 million after-tax or $.15 per share. Net income in the
first quarter of 2006 included charges related to proxy and related
professional fees of $9.3 million after-tax, or $.02 per share.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, Sovereign's operating earnings
for EPS purposes were $180 million, or $.35 per diluted share, which
excluded the charges mentioned above, as compared to $155 million, or $.38
per diluted share a year ago, which also excluded the above-mentioned
charges. A reconciliation of net income to operating earnings, as well as
the related earnings per share amounts, is included in a later section of
this release.
Commenting on results for the first quarter of 2007, Joseph P.
Campanelli, Sovereign's President and CEO, stated, "We are on-track with
respect to our cost-cutting goals, as our G&A expenses declined $25 million
on a linked quarter basis. We substantially completed our balance sheet
restructuring during the quarter, and despite the additional charges
required, we are pleased to report reductions in wholesale assets in excess
of $6 billion, and reductions of wholesale borrowings in excess of $9
billion. Credit quality remains within an expected tolerance. Our core
commercial and consumer loan growth was strong during the quarter."
Net Interest Income and Margin
For the first quarter of 2007, Sovereign reported net interest income
of $488 million as compared to $404 million in the first quarter of 2006.
Sovereign's average loan balances, including acquisitions and loans
held-for-sale, increased by $17.0 billion over last year. Reflecting the
loan sales that settled during the first quarter of 2007, average loan
balances decreased about $2.2 billion on a linked quarter basis to $61.2
billion. The period-end loan portfolio decreased by approximately $6.4
billion from fourth quarter levels, reflecting the sale of approximately
$2.5 billion of residential mortgage loans, $1.3 billion of multi-family
loans, and $3.3 billion of correspondent home equity loans that settled
during the first quarter as well as planned runoff in residential mortgage
loans. This decrease was partially offset by strong auto loan growth and
growth in commercial loans. Sovereign's average core deposits, including
acquisitions, increased $9.2 billion over last year and decreased $267
million linked quarter to $36.1 billion, driven by reductions in
higher-cost categories.
Net interest margin was 2.70% for the first quarter of 2007 as compared
to 2.60% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 3.00% a year ago. The increase
in net interest margin reflects the partial effects of the balance sheet
restructuring, which settled throughout the first quarter of 2007, as well
as additional loan prepayment fees. The yield on interest earning assets
expanded 15 basis points during the quarter while total funding costs
increased 6 basis points during the same period.
Non-Interest Income
Total fees and other income before security gains totaled $45.9 million
for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $134 million a year ago and $149
million last quarter. Included in first quarter fee income was the
aforementioned charge of $120 million related to the correspondent home
equity portfolio due primarily to widening of credit spreads. Consumer and
commercial banking fees increased 18% from a year ago, primarily a result
of the Independence acquisition, and were down 3.6% from the fourth quarter
of 2006. Fee revenues on a linked quarter basis were impacted by seasonal
factors typically present in the consumer banking fees the first quarter of
each year.
Mortgage banking revenues for the quarter were a loss of $107 million,
compared to a loss of $7.6 million last quarter and gains of $13.0 million
in the same quarter a year ago. Included in mortgage banking revenues for
the quarter was an additional charge of $120 million related to the sale of
correspondent home equity loans, which included the establishment of a
reserve for any potential loan repurchases that may result from certain
obligations under the sales agreement as well as the lower of cost or
market adjustment for the loans that were not sold. Also included in
mortgage banking revenues was a $6.1 million net gain related to the sale
of approximately $1.3 billion of multi-family loans.
Non-Interest Expense
G&A expenses were $330 million for the first quarter of 2007, down $25
million or 7.0% from the fourth quarter of 2006 as a result of expense
reduction initiatives implemented late in the fourth quarter and during the
first quarter of 2007 and decreased marketing expenditures in the first
quarter of 2007. G&A expenses to average assets were 1.53% for the quarter,
compared to 1.56% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 1.77% a year ago.
First Quarter Charges
Several charges are reflected in Sovereign's financial statements this
quarter. These charges relate to the previously announced cost cutting and
balance sheet restructuring program and the Independence acquisition.
Management believes that these events are unusual in nature, and therefore
has excluded these charges from its operating earnings definition in order
for analysts and investors to obtain a clearer picture of Sovereign's
earnings stream going forward. Because these charges impact several
categories of Sovereign's income statement, the following table highlights
which items management has designated as special charges, and where these
charges are reflected:
Pre-tax
Income Statement Line Item (Charge)/Benefit Explanation
Balance Sheet Restructuring Gain/(Loss):
Mortgage Banking Revenue $(120) million Charge related to
correspondent home
equity loans
$6.1 million Net gain on sale of $1.3
billion multi-family loans
Expense Reduction Initiative and Independence Acquisition Charges:
Other Expense $(43.4) million Charges associated with the
freezing of the ESOP
$(20.0) million Reduction in workforce and
other restructuring
$(2.1) million Merger and integration
charges related to
Independence
Asset Quality
Annualized net charge-offs were .16% of average loans for the first
quarter, compared to .29% (excluding special charges) in the fourth quarter
of 2006 and .26% a year ago. In dollars, net charge-offs were $24.1 million
this quarter versus $46.4 million (excluding credit charges related to the
correspondent home equity portfolio and residential mortgage loans) in the
prior quarter and $28.3 million a year ago.
Non-performing loans to total loans held for investment increased 4
basis points from fourth quarter levels to .39%. Non-performing loans
increased by $23.7 million from last quarter to $218 million. The allowance
for credit losses to non-performing loans was 231% at March 31, 2007, as
compared to 251% at December 31, 2006 and 239% at March 31, 2006.
Sovereign's provision for credit losses was $46.0 million this quarter,
compared to $366 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $29.0 million in
the first quarter of 2006. The provision for credit losses in the prior
quarter included a $296 million lower of cost or market adjustment on the
correspondent home equity portfolio held-for-sale.
Sovereign has limited exposure to both sub-prime and Alt-A residential
mortgages. Sovereign's sub-prime mortgage exposure is approximately $320
million, or about 2% of residential mortgage loans outstanding. Sovereign's
Alt-A exposure is $2.6 billion, or 18% of residential mortgage loans
outstanding, down from about 25% at year-end due to the sale of residential
mortgage loans during the quarter. Delinquencies in the Alt-A mortgage
portfolio were 3.43% at March 31, 2007 as compared to 3.79% at year-end and
2.14% a year ago.
Capital
Sovereign's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.25% at March 31, 2007, up from
5.73% at year-end. Tangible equity to tangible assets, which includes
preferred stock, was 4.20%. Tangible common equity to tangible assets was
3.94%. The equity to assets ratio was 10.57% at March 31, 2007. Sovereign
Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.82% and the Bank's total risk-based
capital ratio was 10.48% at March 31, 2007.
On April 13, 2007, Moody's raised the ratings of Sovereign and its
affiliates one notch. Sovereign's senior unsecured rating was raised to A3
from Baa1, the long-term deposits rating on Sovereign Bank was raised to A2
from A3 and the short-term deposits rating was raised to P-1 from P-2.
Moody's noted that the ratings reflect Sovereign's solid market shares in
its direct banking franchise in the New England and Mid-Atlantic states and
a diversified loan portfolio. Upward pressure on the rating would occur if
Sovereign were to demonstrate the successful integration of Independence
resulting in an improved franchise and profitability and restoring its
capital ratios promptly.

Note:
This press release contains financial information determined by methods
other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("GAAP"). Sovereign's management uses the non-GAAP measure of Operating
Earnings, and the related per share amount, in their analysis of the
company's performance. This measure, as used by Sovereign, adjusts net
income determined in accordance with GAAP to exclude the effects of special
items, including significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature or
are associated with acquiring and integrating businesses. Operating
earnings for 2006 and 2007 EPS purposes represent net income adjusted for
the after-tax effects of merger-related and integration charges, certain
restructuring charges, other-than-temporary impairment charges on Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac preferred equity securities and proxy and related
professional fees. Since certain of these items and their impact on
Sovereign's performance are difficult to predict, management believes
presentations of financial measures excluding the impact of these items
provide useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results
of Sovereign's core businesses. These disclosures should not be viewed as a
substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they
necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be
presented by other companies.
This press release contains statements of Sovereign's strategies,
plans, and objectives, as well as estimates of financial condition,
operating and cash efficiencies and revenue generation. These statements
and estimates constitute forward-looking statements (within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which involve
significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially
from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors
that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, general
economic conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand,
real estate values and competition; changes in accounting principles,
policies, or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; Sovereign's
ability in connection with any acquisition to complete such acquisition and
to successfully integrate assets, liabilities, customers, systems and
management personnel Sovereign acquires into its operations and to realize
expected cost savings and revenue enhancements within expected time frame;
the possibility that expected one time merger-related charges are
materially greater than forecasted or that final purchase price allocations
based on the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities and related
adjustments to yield and/or amortization of the acquired assets and
liabilities at any acquisition date are materially different from those
forecasted; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and
technological factors affecting the Company's operations, integrations,
pricing, products and services; and acts of God, including natural
disasters.
Sovereign Bancorp is followed by several market analysts. Please note

NOTES:
(1) Operating earnings represent net income excluding the after-tax
effects of certain items, such as significant gains or losses that
are unusual in nature or are associated with acquiring or integrating
businesses, and certain other charges. See page H and I for a
reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP measures.
(2) Prior period earnings per share and weighted average common shares
have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend paid to
shareholders of record on June 15, 2006.
(3) Efficiency ratio equals general and administrative expense as a
percentage of total revenue, defined as the sum of net interest
income and total fees and other income before securities
transactions.
(4) Common book value equals common stockholders' equity at period-end
divided by common shares outstanding.
(5) The conversion of warrants and equity awards and the after-tax add
back of Sovereign's contingently convertible trust preferred interest
expense was excluded from Sovereign's GAAP diluted earnings per share
calculation for the first quarter of 2007 and the second and fourth
quarters of 2006 since the result would have been anti-dilutive.
However, for operating earning purposes these items are dilutive and
as a result they have been added back for operating earnings and
operating earnings per share purposes.
(6) The fourth quarter of 2006 includes a lower of cost or market
adjustment on the correspondent home equity portfolio held for sale
of $296 million.
(7) The first quarter of 2007 includes a lower of cost or market
adjustment of $119.9 million on correspondent home equity loans that

residential loan portfolio held for sale of $28.2 million.
(8) The fourth quarter of 2006 includes a loss of $43 million associated
with the sale of $1.5 billion of CMO investments.
(9) The first quarter of 2007 includes $43.4 million of ESOP expense
related to freezing of the plan and $20 million of charges related to
employee severance and charges associated with closing certain branch
locations. The fourth quarter of 2006 includes $78.7 million of
severance and restructuring charges.
(10) Charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2006 include $389.5 million of
charge-offs related to the lower of cost or market valuation
adjustments recorded for correspondent home equity and residential
loan portfolios that are held for sale as well as a $14 million
charge-off on a large commercial loan.
