Our continued loan growth reflects the gradually improving economy and our success in building deep, lasting customer relationships."

    --  Net interest margin was 3.26 percent compared to 3.23 percent. The yield
        on interest-earning assets declined by 4 basis points, while the cost of

        million, or 5.0 percent.

Provision for loan losses

        compared to $9.0 million in the prior quarter and $7.5 million a year
        earlier.
    --  Net charge-offs were $8.0 million compared to $14.0 million in the
        fourth quarter and $16.8 million in the year-ago period. The ratio of
        net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.25 percent
        compared to 0.45 percent in the fourth quarter and 0.56 percent a year
        ago.
    --  The allowance for loan losses represented 1.18 percent of total loans at

        percent at March 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses represented 106
        percent of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2014 compared to 94 percent
        at December 31 and 84 percent a year ago, with the increase reflecting
        the reclassification of $17.6 million of residential and consumer loans
        as accruing in the quarter under regulatory guidance.

Non-interest income (compared to prior year)


    --  Total non-interest income was $49.8 million compared to $48.3 million,
        an increase of $1.5 million; of this increase, $4.3 million was related
        to the sale of certain investment securities that Webster recorded
        impairment on in the prior quarter due to the Volcker Rule of the
        Dodd-Frank Act.
    --  Excluding the securities gains and a nominal other than temporary
        impairment charge, a $2.6 million year-over-year decrease in core
        non-interest income reflects a decrease of $6.3 million in mortgage
        banking activities, which was offset by increases of $2.1 million in
        other income which included $1.4 million increase in client
        transactions, $1.1 million in wealth and investment services, and $0.7
        million in deposit service fees.

        million of net one-time costs in the year-ago quarter.
    --  Foreclosed and repossessed asset expenses were $0.5 million compared to

        flat compared to the prior year at $0.3 million.

Glenn MacInnes, chief financial officer, said, "Year-over-year positive operating leverage of 3.4 percent resulted in an improvement of 182 basis points in our efficiency ratio to 60.3 percent. We continue to be disciplined in our investments in order to enhance operating results."

    --  The Company recorded $21.1 million of income tax expense in the first
        quarter. The effective tax rate was 29.5 percent compared to 31.0

Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (1) local, regional, national, and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on us and our customers and our assessment of that impact; (2) volatility and disruption in national and international financial markets; (3) government intervention in the U.S. financial system; (4) changes in the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs; (5) changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements; (6) adverse conditions in the securities markets that lead to impairment in the value of securities in our investment portfolio; (7) inflation, interest rate, securities market, and monetary fluctuations; (8) the timely development and acceptance of new products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by customers; (9) changes in consumer spending, borrowings, and savings habits; (10) technological changes; (11) the ability to increase market share and control expenses; (12) changes in the competitive environment among banks, financial holding companies, and other financial service providers; (13) the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, and insurance) with which we and our subsidiaries must comply, including those under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Basel III update to the Basel Accords that is under development; (14) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other accounting standard setters; (15) the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews; and (16) our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items and (17) the other factors that are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the heading "Risk Factors."

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of net income and other performance ratios, as adjusted, is included in the accompanying selected financial highlights table.

We believe that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, our performance trends and financial position. Specifically, we provide measures based on what we believe are our operating earnings on a consistent basis and exclude non-core operating items which affect the GAAP reporting of results of operations. We utilize these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We, as well as securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties, also use these measures to compare peer company operating performance. We believe that our presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business and allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results, and we strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

    WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION
    Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures
    ------------------------------------------


    The Company evaluates its business based on the following ratios that utilize tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity measures the Company's net income available to common shareholders,
     adjusted for the tax-affected amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of average common shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). The tangible equity ratio represents total ending
     shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights) divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). The tangible common equity ratio represents ending common
     shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights) divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Tangible book value per common share represents ending
     common shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights) divided by ending common shares outstanding.


    The efficiency ratio, which measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, is calculated excluding foreclosed property expense, amortization of intangibles, gain or loss on securities, and other non-recurring items. Accordingly, this is
     also a non-GAAP financial measure.


    See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, June 30, 2013, and March 31, 2013. The Company
     believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Company. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.
