People's Bank Reports Third Quarter Earnings of $17 Million or $0.12 Per Share; Results Reflect Further Balance Sheet Restructuring

    BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- People's Bank
(Nasdaq: PBCT), an $11 billion financial services company, today announced
net income of $17.0 million, or $0.12 per share, for the third quarter of
2006, compared to $33.5 million, or $0.24 per share, for the third quarter
of 2005. The current quarter's results include a previously-disclosed
after-tax loss of $15.7 million, or $0.11 per share, from the sale of
securities as part of further balance sheet restructuring activities.
    Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2006 was
$16.9 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to $32.4 million, or $0.23 per
share, for the year-ago quarter. Income from continuing operations
excluding the loss on sale of securities would have been $32.6 million, a 1
percent increase from the year-ago period.
    For the third quarter of 2006, return on average assets was 0.63
percent and return on average stockholders' equity was 5.1 percent,
compared to 1.24 percent and 10.7 percent, respectively, for the year-ago
quarter. Return on average assets would have been 1.21 percent for the
third 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 November 15, 2006, to
shareholders of record on November 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 October 18, 2006, the dividend yield on People's Bank common stock
is 2.4 percent.
    President and Chief Executive Officer John A. Klein stated, "The bank's
performance this quarter reflects another increase in the net interest
margin, our 12th consecutive increase. Our recent balance sheet
restructuring activities contributed, in part, to the current quarter's
margin increase. The year-over-year 19 basis point improvement in the net
interest margin also reflects the bank's asset-sensitive position and the
substitution of securities with higher-yielding loans."
    Klein continued, "Our average commercial banking, home equity and
residential mortgage loan portfolios increased a combined $785 million, or
10 percent, since the third quarter of 2005, while average securities
declined $911 million, or 58 percent. Our commercial banking and home
equity loan portfolios each grew 8 percent, while our residential mortgage
loans grew 11 percent."
    "As previously disclosed, we sold our entire debt securities portfolio
during the third quarter," said Philip R. Sherringham, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer. "The transaction involved $835
million in securities earning a weighted average yield of approximately
3.55 percent, which were sold at a $23.7 million pre-tax loss. The proceeds
from this transaction were used to pay down short-term borrowings with an
average cost of 5.25 percent and invest in short-term securities at current
market yields of 5.20 percent. Another benefit of this transaction is an
improvement in our efficiency ratio in the third quarter to 61.5 percent
from 62.2 percent in the third quarter of last year."
    Commenting on asset quality, Sherringham added, "Third quarter net loan
charge-offs totaled $4.1 million, or 0.18 percent of average loans on an
annualized basis, compared to $1.1 million or 0.05 percent in the third
quarter of last year." Included in the third quarter of 2006 is a $4.0
million charge-off relating to one commercial banking loan that was placed
on non-accrual in the second quarter of 2006 as previously disclosed. This
charge-off reduced earnings by $2.7 million, or $0.02 per share, and return
on average assets by 10 basis points for the quarter. Other net loan
charge-offs for the third quarter of 2006 totaled $0.1 million, or 0.01
percent of average loans on an annualized basis.
    At September 30, 2006, non-performing assets totaled $22.9 million, a
$5.2 million, or 19 percent, decrease from June 30, 2006. This reduction in
non-performing assets reflects a $5.5 million partial payment received on
one commercial banking non-performing loan and the $4.0 million charge-off
discussed above. Non-performing assets equaled 0.25 percent of total loans,
REO and repossessed assets, compared to 0.31 percent at June 30, 2006. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 355
percent at September 30, 2006, compared to 267 percent at June 30, 2006.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.81
percent at September 30, 2006, compared to 0.82 percent at June 30, 2006.
    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.
