CLEVELAND, April 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) today announced first quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $182 million, or $.22 per common share, compared to $224 million, or $.27 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2015, and $222 million, or $.26 per common share, for the first quarter of 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, Key incurred merger-related expense totaling $24 million, or $.02 per common share, compared to $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding merger-related expense, earnings per common share were $.24 for the first quarter of 2016.

"While the operating environment remains challenging, our results reflect continued momentum in our core businesses and progress on our strategic initiatives," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Beth Mooney. "Excluding merger-related expense, we generated positive operating leverage relative to the same period last year, driven by a 3% increase in revenue and well-controlled expenses. Net interest income was up 6% from last year, benefiting from growth in average loans of 5%.  Noninterest income reflects positive trends in several of our core fee-based businesses where we have continued to make investments, such as consumer and commercial payments. Our market sensitive businesses were impacted this quarter by the industry-wide slowdown in capital markets activity.  Expenses also reflect the lower level of market-related activity and our ongoing efforts to improve efficiency."

"Credit quality measures this quarter were impacted by credit migration in our oil and gas portfolio, reflecting current market conditions.  Net charge-offs remained below our targeted range," added Mooney.

"We also continue to make progress on our First Niagara Financial Group acquisition, including reaching an important milestone of shareholders from both companies approving the merger," Mooney continued. "We are excited about the opportunity we have as we prepare to bring these two companies together, and we remain confident in our ability to deliver on our commitments and financial targets."   

FIRST QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS, from continuing operations

Compared to First Quarter of 2015

  • Average loans up 5%, driven by 12% growth in commercial, financial and agricultural loans
  • Average deposits, excluding deposits in foreign office, up 4% reflecting growth in Key's commercial mortgage servicing business and inflows from commercial and consumer clients
  • Net interest income (taxable-equivalent) up $35 million, as higher earning asset balances and yields were partially offset by higher levels of liquidity
  • Noninterest income down $6 million due to lower net gains from principal investing, partially offset by an increase in other income and growth in core fee-based businesses
  • Noninterest expense, excluding merger-related expense of $24 million, increased $10 million, primarily attributable to slight increases across various nonpersonnel areas
  • Net loan charge-offs to average loans of .31%, up from .20% in the year-ago quarter

Compared to Fourth Quarter of 2015

  • Average loans up 1%, primarily driven by a 2% increase in commercial, financial and agricultural loans
  • Average deposits, excluding deposits in foreign office, relatively stable due to increases in certificates of deposit and other time deposits, largely offset by a decline in the seasonal and short-term deposit inflows from commercial clients
  • Net interest income (taxable-equivalent) up $2 million driven by higher earning asset balances and yields
  • Noninterest income down $54 million, primarily due to lower investment banking and debt placement fees related to weaker capital markets activity
  • Noninterest expense, excluding merger-related expense, decreased $51 million, primarily driven by a reduction in personnel expense related to lower performance-based compensation
  • Net loan charge-offs to average loans of .31%, up from .25% in the prior quarter

TE = Taxable Equivalent
















Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $612 million for the first quarter of 2016, and the net interest margin was 2.89%.  These results compare to taxable-equivalent net interest income of $577 million and a net interest margin of 2.91% for the first quarter of 2015.  The $35 million increase in net interest income reflects higher earning asset balances and an increase in earning asset yields, largely the result of Key's loan portfolio re-pricing to the higher short-term interest rates that resulted from the Federal Reserve's decision to raise the target range for the federal funds rate in mid-December of 2015.  The net interest margin remained relatively stable, benefitting from higher earning asset yields, which were offset by higher levels of liquidity.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $2 million, and the net interest margin increased by two basis points.  The increases in net interest income and the net interest margin were primarily attributable to higher earning asset balances and yields.

N/M = Not Meaningful

















Key's noninterest income was $431 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $437 million for the year-ago quarter.  The decrease from the prior year was largely attributable to lower net gains from principal investing of $29 million, reflecting market weakness. This decline was offset by an increase in other income of $12 million primarily related to gains from certain real estate investments, along with continued growth in some of Key's core fee-based businesses, including corporate services and cards and payments.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, noninterest income decreased by $54 million.  The primary cause for the decline was $56 million of lower investment banking and debt placement fees, reflecting weaker capital markets activity, along with $8 million in lower corporate-owned life insurance income, which is seasonally higher in the fourth quarter. Partially offsetting these decreases were $12 million of increased other income primarily related to gains from certain real estate investments and $4 million of higher trust and investment services income.

Key's noninterest expense was $703 million for the first quarter of 2016. Noninterest expense included $24 million of merger-related expense, primarily made up of $16 million in personnel expense related to technology development for systems conversions and fully-dedicated personnel for merger and integration efforts. The remaining $8 million of merger-related expense was nonpersonnel expense, largely recognized in business services and professional fees. In the fourth quarter of 2015, Key incurred $6 million of merger-related expenses, primarily in nonpersonnel expense.

Excluding merger-related expense, noninterest expense was $10 million higher than the first quarter of last year. The growth was primarily attributable to slight increases across various nonpersonnel areas. Personnel expenses, adjusting for merger-related expense, declined $1 million from the first quarter of 2015, due to lower employee benefits and severance expense offsetting higher salaries and performance-based compensation.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, excluding merger-related expense, noninterest expense decreased by $51 million. The largest driver of this reduction was a $41 million decrease in personnel expense due to lower performance-based compensation costs. Non-merger related marketing and business services and professional fees also each declined by $5 million.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

In the first quarter of 2016, Key had average assets of $96.3 billion compared to $91.9 billion in the first quarter of 2015 and $96.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Average loans were $60.2 billion for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $2.6 billion compared to the first quarter of 2015.  The loan growth occurred in the commercial, financial and agricultural portfolio, which increased $3.3 billion and was spread across Key's commercial lines of business.  Consumer loans declined by $432 million mostly due to paydowns on Key's prime-based home equity lines of credit and continued run-off in Key's consumer exit portfolios.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, average loans increased by $580 million, driven by commercial, financial and agricultural loans, which grew $706 million.  Consumer loans declined $241 million, largely the result of a decline in home equity loans.

N/A = Not Applicable

















Average deposits, excluding deposits in foreign office, totaled $71.6 billion for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $2.8 billion compared to the year-ago quarter.  Interest-bearing deposits increased $3.4 billion driven by a $2.8 billion increase in NOW and money market deposit accounts and a $727 million increase in certificates of deposit and other time deposits.  The increase in NOW and money market deposit accounts reflects growth in the commercial mortgage servicing business and inflows from commercial and consumer clients.  These increases were partially offset by a $689 million decline in noninterest-bearing deposits.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, average deposits, excluding deposits in foreign office, were relatively stable.  Growth in certificates of deposit and other time deposits was largely offset by a decline in the seasonal and short-term deposit inflows from commercial clients that Key experienced during the fourth quarter of 2015.

N/A = Not Applicable

Asset quality measures in the first quarter of 2016 were impacted by credit migration, primarily in the oil and gas portfolio. Key's provision for credit losses was $89 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $35 million for the first quarter of 2015 and $45 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Key's allowance for loan and lease losses was $826 million, or 1.37% of total period-end loans, at March 31, 2016, compared to 1.37% at March 31, 2015, and 1.33% at December 31, 2015. 

Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $46 million, or .31% of average total loans.  These results compare to $28 million, or .20%, for the first quarter of 2015, and $37 million, or .25%, for the fourth quarter of 2015.  

At March 31, 2016, Key's nonperforming loans totaled $676 million and represented 1.12% of period-end portfolio loans, compared to .75% at March 31, 2015, and .65% at December 31, 2015.  The increase in nonperforming loans in the first quarter of 2016 was primarily related to Key's oil and gas portfolio. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2016 totaled $692 million and represented 1.14% of period-end portfolio loans and OREO and other nonperforming assets, compared to .79% at March 31, 2015, and .67% at December 31, 2015.

The table entitled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" in the attached financial supplement presents the computations of certain financial measures related to "tangible common equity" and "Common Equity Tier 1." The table reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures, which provides a basis for period-to-period comparisons. See below for further information on the Regulatory Capital Rules.

As shown in the preceding table, at March 31, 2016, Key's estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios stood at 11.11% and 11.42%, respectively.  In addition, the tangible common equity ratio was 9.97% at March 31, 2016.

In October 2013, federal banking regulators published the final Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations (the "Regulatory Capital Rules").  The mandatory compliance date for Key as a "standardized approach" banking organization began on January 1, 2015, subject to transitional provisions extending to January 1, 2019.  Key's estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio as calculated under the fully phased-in Regulatory Capital Rules was 11.05% at March 31, 2016.  This estimate exceeds the fully phased-in required minimum Common Equity Tier 1 and Capital Conservation Buffer of 7.00%.

  • Average deposits up $2.4 billion, or 4.7% from the prior year

Key Community Bank recorded net income attributable to Key of $74 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to net income attributable to Key of $51 million for the year-ago quarter.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $41 million, or 11.5%, from the first quarter of 2015 due to favorable deposit rates and volume with increases in average deposits of $2.4 billion, or 4.7%, from one year ago, as well as growth in average loans and leases of $127 million, or .4%.  Commercial, financial and agricultural loans grew by $529 million, or 4.3%, from the prior year.

Noninterest income increased $5 million, or 2.6%, from the year-ago quarter.  Core fee-based businesses continue to show positive trends, as cards and payments income increased $5 million and service charges on deposit accounts increased $3 million. These increases were partially offset by market weakness affecting Key's Private Bank as well as lower foreign exchange revenue.

The provision for credit losses increased by $12 million, or 40%, from the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to credit migration reflecting current market conditions, along with additional reserves for continued growth. Additionally, net loan charge-offs decreased $5 million from the same period one year ago. 

Noninterest expense decreased by $2 million, or .5 %, from the year-ago quarter, driven by a decrease in personnel costs related to lower salary and employee benefits expenses.

Key Corporate Bank Summary of Operations

  • Average loan and lease balances up 12.1% from the prior year
  • Revenue up 6.0% from the prior year
  • Noninterest income up 10.6% from the prior year

Key Corporate Bank recorded net income attributable to Key of $118 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $127 million for the same period one year ago. 

Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $4 million, or 1.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2015.  Average loan and lease balances increased $3 billion, or 12.1%, from the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by growth in commercial, financial and agricultural loans.  This growth in loan and lease balances drove an increase of $5 million in earning asset spread.  Average deposit balances decreased $495 million, or 2.7%, from the year-ago quarter, driven by lower public deposits.  Although deposit balances decreased, there was a higher mix of transactional deposit balances that drove an increase of $2 million in deposit and borrowing spread. The earning asset and deposit and borrowing spread increases were partially offset by slight decreases across various other items. 

Noninterest income was up $20 million, or 10.6%, from the prior year.  Other noninterest income increased $13 million from the year-ago quarter mostly due to gains from certain real estate investments.  Corporate services income was up $6 million due to growth in commitment fees, derivatives, and foreign exchange.  Investment banking and debt placement fees increased by $2 million due to higher loan syndication and merger and acquisition fees.  Partially offsetting these increases were slight declines in operating lease income and other leasing gains and cards and payments income of $1 million each.  

The provision for credit losses increased $37 million, or 616.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2015 due to $22 million of higher net loan charge-offs and credit migration in the oil and gas portfolio. 

Noninterest expense increased by $18 million, or 8.2%, from the first quarter of 2015.  Increased personnel costs and higher operating leases expenses were the primary drivers.

Other Segments

Other Segments consist of Corporate Treasury, Key's Principal Investing unit and various exit portfolios.  Other Segments generated net income attributable to Key of $14 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $43 million for the same period last year.  This decline was largely attributable to lower net gains from principal investing of $29 million.

In April 2009, management decided to wind down the operations of Austin Capital Management, Ltd., a subsidiary that specialized in managing hedge fund investments for institutional customers.  In September 2009, management decided to discontinue the education lending business conducted through Key Education Resources, the education payment and financing unit of KeyBank National Association.  In February 2013, Key decided to sell its investment subsidiary, Victory Capital Management, and its broker-dealer affiliate, Victory Capital Advisors, to a private equity fund.  As a result of these decisions, Key has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(dollars in millions)


The table below presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to "tangible common equity," "return on tangible common equity," "Common Equity Tier 1," "pre-provision net revenue," certain financial measures excluding merger-related expense, and "cash efficiency ratio."


The tangible common equity ratio and the return on tangible common equity ratio have been a focus for some investors, and management believes these ratios may assist investors in analyzing Key's capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock.  Traditionally, the banking regulators have assessed bank and bank holding company capital adequacy based on both the amount and the composition of capital, the calculation of which is prescribed in federal banking regulations.  In October 2013, the federal banking regulators published the final Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations (the "Regulatory Capital Rules").  The Regulatory Capital Rules require higher and better-quality capital and introduced a new capital measure, "Common Equity Tier 1," a non-GAAP financial measure.  The mandatory compliance date for Key as a "standardized approach" banking organization began on January 1, 2015, subject to transitional provisions extending to January 1, 2019. 


Common Equity Tier 1 is not formally defined by GAAP and is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure.  Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Key's capital adequacy using tangible common equity and Common Equity Tier 1, management believes it is useful to enable investors to assess Key's capital adequacy on these same bases.  The table also reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures.


The table also shows the computation for pre-provision net revenue, which is not formally defined by GAAP.  Management believes that eliminating the effects of the provision for loan and lease losses makes it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis.


On October 30, 2015, Key announced that it entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger to acquire First Niagara Financial Group.  As a result of this pending transaction, Key has recognized merger-related expense.  The table below shows the computation for noninterest expense excluding merger-related expense and earnings per common share excluding merger-related expense.  Management believes that eliminating the effects of the merger-related expense makes it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis.


The cash efficiency ratio is a ratio of two non-GAAP performance measures. As such, there is no directly comparable GAAP performance measure.  The cash efficiency ratio performance measure removes the impact of Key's intangible asset amortization from the calculation.  The table below also shows the computation for the cash efficiency ratio excluding merger-related expense. Management believes these ratios provide greater consistency and comparability between Key's results and those of its peer banks.  Additionally, these ratios are used by analysts and investors as they develop earnings forecasts and peer bank analysis.


Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited.  Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

For purposes of these computations, nonaccrual loans are included in average loan balances.



(d)

Commercial, financial and agricultural average balances include $85 million, $87 million, and $87 million of assets from commercial credit cards for the three months ended March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, and March 31, 2015, respectively.



(e)

Yield is calculated on the basis of amortized cost.



(f)

Rate calculation excludes basis adjustments related to fair value hedges. 



(g)

A portion of long-term debt and the related interest expense is allocated to discontinued liabilities as a result of applying Key's matched funds transfer pricing methodology to discontinued operations.

(b)

Restructured loans (i.e., troubled debt restructurings) are those for which Key, for reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.  These concessions are made to improve the collectability of the loan and generally take the form of a reduction of the interest rate, extension of the maturity date or reduction in the principal balance.
