People's Bank Reports Third Quarter Earnings Increased 85 Percent to $28 Million or $0.29 Per Share

    BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- People's Bank
(Nasdaq: PBCT), an $11 billion financial services company, today announced net
income of $27.5 million, or $0.29 per share, for the third quarter of 2004,
compared to $14.9 million, or $0.16 per share, for the third quarter of 2003.
Prior period per share information has been restated to reflect the three-for-
two stock split completed in May 2004.
    People's Board of Directors declared a $0.29 per share quarterly dividend
on People's common stock, payable Nov. 15, 2004, to stockholders of record on
Nov. 1, 2004. People's Mutual Holdings, which owns 54.7 million shares of
People's Bank common stock, will accept dividends on only 3 percent of its
shares. Based on the closing stock price on October 20, 2004, the dividend
yield on People's Bank common stock is 3.2 percent.
    "Results for the quarter continue to reflect the positive impact from the
balance sheet restructuring completed earlier this year," said John A. Klein,
president and chief executive officer. "Continued healthy growth in our core
commercial and consumer banking businesses and a significant improvement in
the net interest margin generated substantially improved results, with net
income up 85 percent compared to the third quarter of 2003 and a return on
average assets exceeding 1 percent.
    "Our average commercial banking, home equity and residential mortgage loan
portfolios increased a combined $583 million, or 9 percent, from year-ago
levels," added Klein. Average savings, money market and interest-bearing
checking balances increased $296 million, or 7 percent, compared to the third
quarter of 2003. Klein continued, "We are also pleased by the growth in
average non-interest-bearing deposits, which increased by $181 million, or
9 percent on a year-over-year basis."
    Klein stated, "These results further demonstrate the significant value of
the bank's franchise in Connecticut, one of the most attractive banking
markets in the nation. People's remains the only major bank in Connecticut
that is uniquely focused on the state's consumers and businesses."
    "Other key drivers of the bank's performance this quarter were an
anticipated increase in the net interest margin and outstanding asset
quality," said Philip R. Sherringham, executive vice president and chief
financial officer. "The 24 basis point improvement in the net interest margin
from last quarter reflects the bank's slightly asset sensitive position and
the benefit of redeploying short-term investments to fund loan growth and to
purchase higher-yielding securities."
    Commenting on asset quality, Sherringham added, "Bankwide asset quality
remains strong, with third quarter net loan charge-offs of only $2.3 million,
a 42 percent improvement from the third quarter of last year. Annualized net
loan charge-offs as a percent of average loans for the quarter were
0.12 percent, compared to 0.23 percent a year ago." Non-performing assets
equaled 0.45 percent of total loans, REO and other assets at September 30,
2004 compared to 0.50 percent a year ago.
    "Given the net growth in our loan portfolio, we added $2.0 million to the
allowance for loan losses this quarter," stated Sherringham. The allowance for
loan losses as a percent of total loans was 0.99 percent at both September 30,
2004 and June 30, 2004.
    Sherringham continued, "Expense control continues to be a significant area
of focus, as evidenced by a 270 basis point improvement in our efficiency
ratio from last quarter. In fact, non-interest expense increased a modest
$0.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2003 and was essentially flat
compared with last quarter, despite additional costs for Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance this quarter."

    Selected Financial Terms
    Due to the sale of the credit card business in the first quarter of this
year, information related to that business for all periods presented is now
reported in discontinued operations.
    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 consists of the sum of net interest income and total
non-interest income 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 ability
to generate revenues, 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 how much it costs People's to generate a dollar of revenue, is the ratio of
total adjusted non-interest expense to operating revenue. Total adjusted non-
interest expense equals People's total non-interest expense, excluding
amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, losses on real estate assets
and other items that may recur from time to time but that are deemed to occur
irregularly or infrequently.
    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 certain other non-interest-bearing
deposits. Purchased funds include borrowings, brokered certificates of deposit
and municipal deposits.
