KeyCorp Reports Third Quarter 2019 Net Income Of $383 Million, Or $.38 Per Diluted Common Share

CLEVELAND, Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) today announced net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $383 million, or $.38 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $403 million, or $.40 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2019 and $468 million, or $.45 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2018. Key's third quarter 2019 diluted earnings per share was $.48^(a), excluding $.10 per diluted common share related to a previously disclosed fraud loss. Key's results in the second quarter of 2019 included notable items; additional detail can be found on page 24 of this release.

"Our results this quarter reflect positive revenue momentum and strong expense management that drove our cash efficiency ratio to its lowest level in over a decade. This places us within our targeted cash efficiency ratio range of 54% to 56% and reflects the successful execution of our cost initiatives and ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. While expenses declined 3% from the year-ago period, we have continued to invest a portion of our cost savings back in to the business to drive future growth.

We generated positive operating leverage compared to the prior year and previous quarter, supported by strong balance sheet growth, as well as continued momentum in our fee-based businesses, including record third quarter investment banking and debt placement fees. We produced another quarter of strong, broad-based growth in commercial and industrial loans and saw higher consumer loan balances, driven by Laurel Road and residential mortgage lending.

We have remained disciplined with credit underwriting and managing our strong capital position. In the third quarter, we increased our quarterly common stock dividend by 9% - from $.17 to $.185. We remain committed to delivering results for our shareholders, while maintaining our moderate risk profile as we move through different parts of the business cycle."

Total revenue	$	1,630	$	1,611	$	1,602	1.2	%	1.7	%

TE = Taxable Equivalent

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $980 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to taxable-equivalent net interest income of $993 million for the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in net interest income reflects a lower net interest margin, driven by higher interest-bearing deposit costs, and lower loan fees. Additionally, purchase accounting accretion declined $9 million. These declines were partially offset by higher earning asset balances.

Compared to the second quarter of 2019, taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $9 million. The decrease was driven by a lower net interest margin, resulting from a decline in interest rates, and lower loan fees. These declines were partially offset by higher earning asset balances, driven by solid consumer and commercial loan growth, and one additional day in the quarter.

Other income	27		17		23		58.8		17.4
Total noninterest income	$	650	$	622	$	609	4.5	%	6.7	%

Key's noninterest income was $650 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $609 million for the year-ago quarter. The increase reflects growth in investment banking and debt placement fees, which reached a record third quarter level, as well as growth in corporate services income, due to higher derivatives income. Investments made in Key's mortgage business continue to drive consumer mortgage income and mortgage servicing fees.

Compared to the second quarter of 2019, noninterest income increased by $28 million, due to growth in investment banking and debt placement fees and corporate services income, due to higher derivatives income, as well as consumer mortgage income.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense	$	939	$	1,019	$	964	(7.9)	%	(2.6)	%

Key's noninterest expense was $939 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $964 million in the year-ago quarter and $1.0 billion in the prior quarter. The prior quarter included notable items of $52 million, primarily efficiency-related expenses, while no notable items were reported in the current quarter or the year-ago period.

Noninterest expense decreased by $25 million from the year-ago period, reflecting the successful implementation of Key's expense initiatives and the elimination of the FDIC surcharge. These expenses were partially offset by Laurel Road acquisition expenses.

Excluding notable items, noninterest expense decreased $28 million from the prior quarter, reflecting the successful implementation of Key's expense initiatives, which drove lower salaries and declines across most non-personnel expenses.

Average loans were $92.0 billion for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $3.5 billion compared to the third quarter of 2018. Commercial loans increased $2.1 billion, reflecting broad-based growth in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by declines in commercial mortgage and construction loans. Consumer loans increased $1.4 billion, driven by solid growth from Laurel Road, residential mortgage loans, and indirect auto lending. Home equity loans declined $927 million, largely the result of continued paydowns in home equity lines of credit.

Compared to the second quarter of 2019, average loans increased by $1.2 billion, driven by solid growth in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decline in commercial mortgage loans. Consumer loans increased $825 million from the prior quarter, as growth from Laurel Road, residential mortgage, and indirect auto more than offset the decline in home equity loans. Laurel Road originations were $500 million in the current quarter.

In the third quarter of 2019, Key realized a $123 million pre-tax loss related to a previously disclosed fraud incident. Excluding the fraud loss, Key's provision for credit losses was $77 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $62 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $74 million for the second quarter of 2019.

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.

Key's capital position remained strong in the third quarter of 2019. As shown in the preceding table, at September 30, 2019, Key's estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios stood at 9.52% and 10.96%, respectively. Key's tangible common equity ratio was 8.58% at September 30, 2019.

As a "standardized approach" banking organization, Key's mandatory compliance with the final Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations (the "Regulatory Capital Rules") began on January 1, 2015, subject to transitional provisions. Key's estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio as calculated under the fully phased-in Regulatory Capital Rules was 9.44% at September 30, 2019. This estimate exceeds the fully phased-in required minimum Common Equity Tier 1 and Capital Conservation Buffer of 7.00%.

Consumer Bank Summary of Operations (3Q19 vs. 3Q18)

Net income attributable to Key of $194 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $168 million for the year-ago quarter
Taxable equivalent net interest income increased by $12 million, or 2.1%, from the third quarter of 2018. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by balance sheet growth
Average loans and leases increased $1.6 billion, or 5.1%. This was driven by Laurel Road along with strength in residential mortgage and indirect auto lending. This growth was partially offset by a $904 million, or 8.0%, decrease in home equity balances
Average deposits increased $3.9 billion, or 5.6%, from the third quarter of 2018. This was driven by growth in money market and certificates of deposit, reflecting Key's relationship strategy
Provision for credit losses increased $16 million compared to the third quarter of 2018, driven by balance sheet growth. Credit quality remained stable to the year-ago quarter
Noninterest income increased $12 million, or 5.3%, from the year ago quarter. This was primarily driven by growth in consumer mortgage income which increased $5 million, or 55.6%
Noninterest expense decreased $26 million, or 4.7%, from the year ago quarter. The decline reflects the benefit of efficiency initiatives, strong expense discipline, and the elimination of the FDIC quarterly surcharge. The decline in expense was partially offset by expenses related to the acquisition of Laurel Road

(a)	Earnings per share may not foot due to rounding.
(b)	The following table entitled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" presents the computations of certain financial measures related to "tangible common equity" and "cash efficiency." The table reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures, which provides a basis for period-to-period comparisons. For further information on the Regulatory Capital Rules, see the "Capital" section of this release.
(c)	Represents period-end consolidated total loans and loans held for sale divided by period-end consolidated total deposits.
(d)	September 30, 2019, ratio is estimated.
(e)	Nonperforming loan balances exclude $497 million, $518 million, and $606 million of purchased credit impaired loans at September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019, and September 30, 2018, respectively.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(dollars in millions)

The table below presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to "tangible common equity," "return on average tangible common equity," "Common Equity Tier 1," "pre-provision net revenue," "cash efficiency ratio," "earnings per common share excluding notable items," "net loan charge-offs to average loans excluding notable items," and "provision for credit losses excluding notable items."

Notable items include certain revenue or expense items that may occur in a reporting period which management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance. Management believes it is useful to consider certain financial metrics with and without notable items, in order to enable a better understanding of company results, increase comparability of period-to-period results, and to evaluate and forecast those results.

The tangible common equity ratio and the return on average 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.

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 credit losses 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. Management believes this ratio provide greater consistency and comparability between Key's results and those of its peer banks. Additionally, this ratio is 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.
