People's Bank Third Quarter Earnings Increased 22 Percent to $34 Million or $0.24 Per Share

    BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- People's Bank
(Nasdaq: PBCT), an $11 billion financial services company, today announced net
income increased 22 percent to $33.5 million, or $0.24 per share, for the
third quarter of 2005, compared to $27.5 million, or $0.19 per share, for the
third quarter of 2004. Income from continuing operations increased 38 percent
to $32.4 million, or $0.23 per share, from $23.5 million, or $0.16 per share,
for the year-ago quarter. Prior period per share information has been restated
to reflect the three-for-two stock split completed in May 2005.
    For the third quarter of 2005, return on average assets was 1.24 percent
and return on average stockholders' equity was 10.7 percent, compared to
1.04 percent and 9.5 percent, respectively, for the year-ago quarter.
    People's Board of Directors declared a $0.22 per share quarterly dividend
on People's common stock, payable November 15, 2005, to shareholders of record
on November 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 October 19, 2005, the dividend
yield on People's Bank common stock is 2.7 percent.
    "People's delivered another quarter of significant earnings improvement
through our continuing focus on the fundamentals, including strong growth in
our core lending businesses, the ongoing investment in our banking franchise
and further improvement in the net interest margin," stated President and
Chief Executive Officer, John A. Klein.
    "We continue to generate healthy loan growth across our commercial and
consumer businesses," said Klein. "Our average commercial banking, home equity
and residential mortgage loan portfolios increased a combined $912 million, or
12 percent, since the third quarter of 2004."
    Klein concluded, "The continued growth of our Stop & Shop franchise in
Connecticut; the opening of our first loan production office in Massachusetts;
the expansion of our wholesale mortgage origination efforts in Westchester
County, New York; and the continued growth of the geographic reach of People's
Capital and Leasing Corp., our equipment financing subsidiary, now doing
business in 45 states, afford us the opportunity to further broaden our retail
and commercial customer base."
    "Other key drivers of the bank's performance this quarter were another
increase in the net interest margin and continuing strong asset quality," said
Philip R. Sherringham, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
"The 23 basis point improvement in the net interest margin from the third
quarter of last year reflects a combination of the bank's asset-sensitive
position and the ongoing substitution of securities with higher-yielding
loans."
    Commenting on asset quality, Sherringham added, "Net loan charge-offs
totaled $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2005, a 52 percent improvement
from the third quarter of last year. Annualized net loan charge-offs as a
percent of average loans were only 5 basis points, compared to 12 basis points
in the year-ago quarter."
    At September 30, 2005, non-performing assets totaled $20.1 million, a
$14.3 million, or 42 percent, decrease from September 30, 2004 and
equaled 0.24 percent of total loans, REO and repossessed assets, compared to
0.45 percent a year ago. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
non-performing loans was 380 percent at September 30, 2005, compared to
225 percent at September 30, 2004. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans was 0.87 percent at September 30, 2005, compared to
0.99 percent a year ago.
    Sherringham continued, "Our efficiency ratio was 62.5 percent in the third
quarter of 2005, compared to 66.7 percent in the third quarter of 2004 and
63.3 percent last quarter. The 420 basis point improvement from the year-ago
quarter reflects a significant increase in revenue, including an 8 percent
increase in net interest income and a 14 percent increase in non-interest
income."

    Other News Highlights
    * On October 5, 2005, Moody's Investors Service announced an upgrade on
      all of its ratings of People's and a stable outlook.
    * On August 16, 2005, Fitch Ratings upgraded its individual rating of
      People's.
    * On July 21, 2005, Standard & Poor's Rating Services announced that it
      had revised its outlook to positive from stable on People's ratings.

    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 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,
brokered certificates of deposit and municipal deposits.
