People's Bank Reports Second Quarter Earnings Of $33 Million Or $0.23 Per Share

           Income from Continuing Operations Increases 10 Percent

    BRIDGEPORT, Conn., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- People's Bank
(Nasdaq: PBCT), an $11 billion financial services company, today announced
net income of $32.9 million, or $0.23 per share, for the second quarter of
2006, compared to $37.0 million, or $0.26 per share, for the second quarter
of 2005. The current quarter's results include a previously-disclosed $4.0
million pre- tax loss from the sale of securities, while the 2005 quarter's
results include pre-tax income of $9.7 million from the resolution of a
significant contingency related to the sale of People's credit card
portfolio (reported in income from discontinued operations) and a $2.0
million goodwill impairment charge.
    Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006
increased 10 percent to $32.2 million, or $0.23 per share, from $29.4
million, or $0.21 per share, for the year-ago quarter. Income from
continuing operations excluding security losses and the goodwill impairment
charge would have been $34.8 million, or $0.25 per share, compared to $31.4
million, or $0.22 per share, for the year-ago period, a 14 percent
increase.
    For the second quarter of 2006, return on average assets was 1.20
percent and return on average stockholders' equity was 10.1 percent,
compared to 1.36 percent and 12.0 percent, respectively, for the year-ago
quarter. Return on average assets would have been 1.30 percent for the
second quarter of 2006 excluding the loss on sale of securities.
    People's Board of Directors declared a $0.25 per share quarterly
dividend on People's common stock, payable August 15, 2006, to shareholders
of record on August 1, 2006. People's Mutual Holdings, which owns 82.0
million shares of People's Bank common stock, will accept dividends on only
2.2 percent of its shares. Based on the closing stock price on July 19,
2006, the dividend yield on People's Bank common stock is 3.0 percent.
    President and Chief Executive Officer John A. Klein stated, "Our
results for the second quarter demonstrate our continuing earnings
momentum. The consecutive double digit quarterly improvement in earnings
from continuing operations in 2006, when compared to the corresponding 2005
quarters, highlights the strength of the bank's franchise."
    Klein added, "We continue to generate significant loan growth across
our commercial and consumer businesses. For example, our average commercial
banking loan portfolio increased $105 million, or 11 percent annualized,
from the first quarter of 2006."
    Klein concluded, "As reported in a recent regulatory filing, we
received approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision regarding our plans
to convert to a federal savings bank charter. We are optimistic that all
necessary regulatory approvals will be received in time to complete the
charter conversion prior to the end of the third quarter. A special meeting
of People's Bank shareholders to vote on approving the charter conversion
is scheduled for August 15, 2006. And regarding our announced expansion
plans into Westchester County, New York, we are on track to have 7 branches
opened by the end of 2007."
    "Key drivers of the bank's performance this quarter were another
increase in the net interest margin and ongoing strong asset quality," said
Philip R. Sherringham, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer. "The year- over-year 16 basis point improvement in the net
interest margin reflects the bank's asset-sensitive position, the ongoing
substitution of securities with higher-yielding loans and a partial benefit
from the sale of securities during the second quarter. Average loans
increased $714 million, or 9 percent, year- over-year, while average
securities declined $838 million, or 44 percent."
    Commenting on asset quality, Sherringham added, "Second quarter net
loan charge-offs totaled $0.2 million, or 0.01 percent of average loans on
an annualized basis, compared to $0.9 million, or 0.04 percent,
respectively, in the second quarter of last year."
    At June 30, 2006, non-performing assets totaled $28.1 million, a $3.8
million, or 16 percent, increase from March 31, 2006. One commercial loan
totaling $4.9 million was classified as non-performing in the second
quarter of 2006. Non-performing assets equaled 0.31 percent of total loans,
REO and repossessed assets, compared to 0.29 percent at June 30, 2005. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 267
percent at June 30, 2006, compared to 312 percent at June 30, 2005. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.82 percent
at June 30, 2006, compared to 0.88 percent a year ago.
    Selected Financial Terms
    In addition to presenting financial information in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), certain non-GAAP
information is also presented, such as operating revenue and the efficiency
ratio. Operating revenue is based on income from continuing operations
reduced by gains and losses other than from the sale of residential
mortgage loans and excluding other items that may recur from time to time
but that are deemed to occur irregularly or infrequently. Management
considers this measure to be more representative of People's ongoing
profitability, as the excluded items are generally related to external
market conditions and non-routine transactions.
    The efficiency ratio, which is derived in part from operating revenue
and represents an approximate measure of the cost required by People's to
generate a dollar of revenue, is the ratio of operating expense to
operating revenue. Operating expense equals People's total non-interest
expense, excluding goodwill impairment, amortization of acquisition-related
intangibles, losses on real estate assets and nonrecurring expenses.
People's generally considers an expense to be "nonrecurring" if it is not
similar to an expense of a type incurred within the last two years and is
not similar to an expense of a type reasonably expected to be incurred
within the following two years.
    This release contains information about People's core deposits and
purchased funds (both non-GAAP measures). Core deposits, a measure of
stable funding sources, equal total deposits, other than brokered
certificates of deposit (acquired in the wholesale market), municipal
deposits (which are seasonally variable by nature) and non-interest-bearing
deposits utilized for the operation of People's businesses. Purchased funds
include borrowings and municipal deposits.
