People's Bank Second Quarter Earnings Increased 48 Percent to $37 Million or $0.26 Per Share

    BRIDGEPORT, Conn., July 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- People's Bank
(Nasdaq: PBCT), an $11 billion financial services company, today announced net
income increased 48 percent to $37.0 million, or $0.26 per share, for the
second quarter of 2005 compared to $25.0 million, or $0.18 per share, for the
second quarter of 2004. The current quarter's results included $9.7 million
from the previously announced resolution of the remaining contingencies
related to the sale of People's credit card portfolio (reported in income from
discontinued operations) and a $2.0 million nonrecurring goodwill impairment
charge. Prior period per share information has been restated to reflect the
three-for-two stock split completed in May 2005.
    Income from continuing operations excluding the goodwill impairment charge
would have increased 41 percent to $31.4 million, or $0.22 per share, from
$22.3 million, or $0.16 per share, for the year-ago quarter.
    For the second quarter of 2005 return on average assets (ROA) was 1.36
percent and return on average stockholders' equity was 12.0 percent, compared
to 0.94 percent and 8.7 percent, respectively, for the year-ago quarter. ROA
would have been 1.20 percent for the second quarter of 2005 after excluding
the net increase in earnings from the items mentioned above.
    People's Board of Directors declared a $0.22 per share quarterly dividend
on People's common stock, payable August 15, 2005, to shareholders of record
on August 1, 2005. People's Mutual Holdings, which owns 82.0 million shares of
People's Bank common stock, will accept dividends on only 2.5 percent of its
shares. Based on the closing stock price on July 20, 2005, the dividend yield
on People's Bank common stock is 2.7 percent.
    President and Chief Executive Officer John A. Klein stated, "People's has
delivered another quarter of strengthening earnings through our continuing
focus on the fundamentals, including healthy growth in our core lending
businesses and yet another improvement in the net interest margin.
    "We continue to generate double-digit loan growth across our commercial
and consumer businesses," said Klein. "Our average commercial banking, home
equity and residential mortgage loan portfolios increased a combined $983
million, or 14 percent, since the second quarter of 2004."
    Klein added, "We continue to be nearly 100 percent funded by core deposits
and stockholders' equity, which affords the bank substantial flexibility to
fund future loan growth. On the deposit front, average core demand deposits
increased $105 million, or 5 percent, on a year-over-year basis."
    "Other key drivers of the bank's performance this quarter were an increase
in the net interest margin and outstanding asset quality," said Philip R.
Sherringham, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "The 43
basis point improvement in the net interest margin from the second quarter of
last year reflects a combination of the bank's slightly asset-sensitive
position and the ongoing substitution of securities with higher-yielding
loans."
    Commenting on asset quality, Sherringham added, "Bankwide asset quality
remains very strong, with second quarter 2005 net loan charge-offs of $0.9
million, a 63 percent improvement from the second quarter of last year.
Annualized net loan charge-offs as a percent of average loans were only 4
basis points for the second consecutive quarter."
    Non-performing assets declined $11.0 million, or 31 percent, since June
30, 2004 to $24.2 million and equaled 0.29 percent of total loans, REO and
repossessed assets at June 30, 2005, compared to 0.48 percent a year ago. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 312
percent at June 30, 2005, compared to 212 percent at June 30, 2004.
    Sherringham continued, "The 620 basis point improvement in the efficiency
ratio from the year-ago quarter reflects a significant increase in revenue and
a slight decline in operating expenses." This quarter's results included a
$2.0 million nonrecurring goodwill impairment charge related to the bank's
asset management subsidiary, which is in the process of being combined with
People's other wealth management businesses.
    As part of its ongoing effort to control expenses, the bank invested $150
million in a Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) program late in the second
quarter of 2005. The earnings generated from the BOLI asset are expected to
help defray a portion of the rising cost of employee benefits.

    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 considers an
expense to be "nonrecurring" if 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,
brokered certificates of deposit and municipal deposits.
