BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- People's United Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBCT) today reported net income of $75.9 million, or $0.24 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $70.8 million, or $0.23 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2015, and $73.7 million, or $0.24 per common share, for the third quarter of 2016.

Included in this quarter's results were merger-related and acquisition integration costs of $1.6 million ($1.0 million after-tax), or less than $0.01 per common share, compared to $3.1 million ($2.1 million after-tax), or $0.01 per common share, for the third quarter of 2016. Fourth quarter 2015 results included a gain of $9.2 million ($6.1 million after-tax), or $0.02 per common share, resulting from the sale of the Company's payroll services business.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, net income totaled $281.0 million, or $0.92 per common share, compared to $260.1 million, or $0.86 per common share, for 2015.

The Company's Board of Directors declared a $0.17 per share quarterly dividend, payable February 15, 2017 to shareholders of record on February 1, 2017.  Based on the closing stock price on January 18, 2017, the dividend yield on People's United Financial common stock is 3.5 percent.

"We are pleased with the Company's financial and operating performance this year," commented Jack Barnes, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Full year net income of $281 million is the highest in the Company's history and return on average tangible common equity was 10.2 percent. Our straightforward, solutions-oriented approach to banking enabled us to further expand client relationships and forge new ones as demonstrated by another year of growth in loans, deposits and wealth management assets. We continued to improve operating leverage during the year through revenue growth as well as proactive expense management which has limited the increase in expenses to an average annual rate of less than one percent over the last five years."

Barnes continued, "We strengthened fee income generating capabilities over the course of the year through infrastructure investments and acquisitions, most notably the addition of Gerstein Fisher which closed in early November. We also continued to strategically add talent across the organization to further drive revenue growth. Earlier in the year, we announced the acquisition of Suffolk Bancorp which upon closing will deepen our presence in the New York metro area."

Barnes concluded, "We continually strive to balance and utilize six levers to create shareholder value: enhancing client-focused capabilities, growing the balance sheet, maintaining excellent asset quality, diversifying revenues, controlling costs and deploying capital efficiently. As such, we enter 2017 well-positioned across our diverse portfolio of businesses and attractive Northeast footprint to further deliver exceptional service to clients and profitable growth to shareholders."

"Our fourth quarter performance provided a strong finish to the year as evidenced by record quarterly net income of $75.9 million and a return on average tangible common equity of 10.7 percent," stated David Rosato, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Net income increased seven percent from the prior year quarter due to higher net interest income and continued expense control. As a result, the efficiency ratio was 59.3 percent, an improvement of 170 basis points from a year ago."

Rosato concluded, "Loans grew five percent on an annualized basis, marking the 25th consecutive quarter of growth. The increase was driven by strong results in commercial real estate and residential mortgage, partially offset by lower mortgage warehouse lending balances. We maintained excellent asset quality across each portfolio, reflected by net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans of only six basis points for the quarter. Deposit growth was three percent annualized, while the overall cost of deposits remained consistent with the third quarter. Furthermore, we issued $250 million of preferred stock which enhanced our already strong capital position."

At December 31, 2016, People's United Financial's common equity tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.9 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively, and the tangible common equity ratio stood at 7.2 percent.  For People's United Bank, N.A., common equity tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 11.3 percent and 13.4 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2016.

Net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans on an annualized basis were 0.06 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016, a slight increase from 0.04 percent in the third quarter of 2016, but lower than 0.09 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015.  For the originated loan portfolio, non-performing loans equaled 0.51 percent of loans at December 31, 2016, a decrease from 0.54 percent at September 30, 2016 and 0.58 percent at December 31, 2015.

Return on average assets of 0.75 percent for the fourth quarter of 2016 was an increase from 0.73 percent in the third quarter of 2016 and unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2015.  Return on average tangible common equity of 10.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016 was unchanged from both the third quarter of 2016 and fourth quarter of 2015.
