People's United Financial Reports Third Quarter Earnings of $58 Million or $0.20 Per Share

                  Increase of 239 Percent Over Prior Year

    BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- People's United
Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq: PBCT), a $14 billion diversified financial
services company, today announced net income of $57.6 million, or $0.20 per
share, for the third quarter of 2007, compared to $17.0 million, or $0.06
per share, for the third quarter of 2006. The prior year quarter's results
included an after- tax loss of $15.7 million, or $0.05 per share, from the
sale of securities.
    For the third quarter of 2007, return on average assets was 1.70
percent and return on average stockholders' equity was 5.1 percent,
compared to 0.63 percent and 5.1 percent, respectively, for the year-ago
quarter.
    President and Chief Executive Officer, John A. Klein stated, "Our
performance this quarter continues to reflect the benefits from our focused
commercial and consumer banking strategy, including strong asset quality,
particularly noteworthy in today's environment."
    "Our average commercial banking loan portfolio increased over $300
million, or 8 percent, since the third quarter of 2006, including a $205
million, or 29 percent, increase in our equipment financing portfolio,"
added Klein. "In addition, our balance sheet continues to be funded by core
deposits and stockholders' equity."
    Klein added, "Given the many challenges of today's environment, the
strength of our asset quality, capital, liquidity and earnings clearly sets
us apart from most in the industry."
    Klein concluded, "At current levels, we feel strongly that our stock is
undervalued and we remain committed to begin a stock buyback program as
soon as possible following the closing of the Chittenden acquisition."
    "Key drivers of the company's performance this quarter were yet another
significant 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 39 basis point improvement in the
net interest margin reflects the benefits from the investment of the net
proceeds from our second-step conversion in April and the balance sheet
restructuring activities completed during 2006."
    Sherringham continued, "Average earning assets increased $2.7 billion
on a year-over-year basis, reflecting a $3.4 billion increase in average
short-term investments as a result of the second-step conversion, while
average loans decreased $148 million, or 2 percent, and average securities
declined $600 million, or 90 percent. While average commercial banking
loans increased 8 percent on a year-over-year basis, average residential
mortgage loans actually declined 11 percent as a result of our decision in
the fourth quarter of last year to sell all newly-originated residential
mortgage loans in the current environment."
    Commenting on asset quality, Sherringham stated, "As we have said many
times in the past, our loan portfolio has absolutely no sub-prime or Alt-A
exposure. Our asset quality remains very strong. Third quarter net loan
charge-offs totaled $1.5 million compared to $4.1 million in the year-ago
quarter. Net loan charge-offs as a percent of average loans on an
annualized basis were 0.07 percent in the third quarter of 2007, compared
to 0.18 percent in the third quarter of last year."
    At September 30, 2007, non-performing assets totaled $26.2 million, a
$3.3 million increase from the prior year. Non-performing assets equaled
0.29 percent of total loans, REO and repossessed assets, compared to 0.25
percent at September 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of non- performing loans was 318 percent at September 30, 2007,
compared to 355 percent at September 30, 2006. The allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.82 percent at September 30,
2007, compared to 0.81 percent a year ago.
    Selected Financial Terms
    In addition to evaluating People's United Financial's results of
operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), management routinely supplements this evaluation with an analysis
of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as core deposits, purchased
funds and the efficiency ratio. Management believes these non-GAAP
financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding
People's United Financial's underlying operating performance and trends,
and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other banks and
thrifts.
    Core deposits is a measure of stable funding sources and is defined as
total deposits, other than brokered certificates of deposit (acquired in
the wholesale market), municipal deposits (which are seasonally variable by
nature) and escrow funds from People's United Financial's stock offering.
Purchased funds include borrowings, brokered certificates of deposit and
municipal deposits.
    The efficiency ratio, which represents an approximate measure of the
cost required by People's United Financial to generate a dollar of revenue,
is the ratio of total non-interest expense (excluding goodwill impairment
charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, losses on real
estate assets and nonrecurring expenses) to net interest income plus total
non-interest income (including the fully taxable equivalent adjustment on
bank-owned life insurance income, and excluding gains and losses on sales
of assets, other than residential mortgage loans, and nonrecurring income).
People's United Financial generally considers an income or expense to be
nonrecurring if it is not similar to an income or expense of a type
incurred within the last two years and is not similar to an income or
expense of a type reasonably expected to be incurred within the following
two years. Management considers the efficiency ratio to be more
representative of People's United Financial's ongoing operating efficiency,
as the excluded items are generally related to external market conditions
and non-routine transactions.
