KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) today announced first quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $199 million, or $.21 per common share. This result compares to $184 million, or $.21 per common share for the first quarter of 2011, which included a deemed dividend of $49 million, or $.06 per diluted common share related to the accelerated amortization of the discount on the repurchased preferred shares from the U.S. Treasury. First quarter 2012 net income attributable to Key common shareholders was $194 million compared to net income attributable to Key common shareholders of $173 million for the same quarter one year ago.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company continued to benefit from improved asset quality. Nonperforming loans decreased by $219 million and nonperforming assets declined by $322 million from the year-ago quarter to $666 million and $767 million, respectively. Net charge-offs declined to $101 million, or .82% of average loan balances for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $193 million, or 1.59% of average loan balances for the same period one year ago.

"Key's first quarter results demonstrate continued positive momentum as we execute on our relationship strategy, strengthen our balance sheet and maintain disciplined expense control," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Beth Mooney. "Asset quality improved again this quarter, and we were pleased to see growth in our commercial, financial and agricultural loan portfolio. Key remains committed to meeting the credit needs of its customers and communities."

Key originated approximately $8.3 billion in new or renewed lending commitments to consumers and businesses during the first quarter of 2012, which is up from $6.9 billion for the same period one year ago.

Mooney added that she was particularly pleased that Key received several industry honors and recognition in the first quarter. Corporate Insight's Bank Monitor commended Key for service excellence in categories including online bill pay, online account opening, alerts and fund transfers. Greenwich Associates' 2011 national banking survey recognized Key as a national and regional winner of three excellence awards for its small business banking and middle market banking.

At March 31, 2012, Key's estimated Tier 1 common equity and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were 11.5% and 13.3%, compared to 11.3% and 13.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2011.

Mooney continued: "As previously announced, our Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $344 million to begin in the second quarter of this year through the first quarter of 2013. Our Board will also evaluate an increase in our quarterly common stock dividend from $.03 per share up to $.05 per share next month at its regular meeting. These actions, which are a part of our 2012 capital plan submitted to the Federal Reserve and to which the Federal Reserve had no objection, represent an opportunity for Key to return capital to our shareholders while still maintaining our peer leading capital to support organic growth."

As previously reported, on January 11, 2012, Key signed a purchase and assumption agreement to acquire 37 retail banking branches in Buffalo and Rochester, NY. The deposits associated with these branches total approximately $2.4 billion, while loans total approximately $400 million. The transaction is expected to close early third quarter of 2012, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval of the acquisition.

The following table shows Key's continuing and discontinued operating results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

(a)

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. As a result of these decisions, Key has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2012, was primarily attributable to fair value adjustments related to the education lending securitization trusts.

March 31, 2011 includes a $49 million deemed dividend related to the repurchase of the $2.5 billion Fixed-Rate Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B ("Series B Preferred Stock").

SUMMARY OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $559 million for the first quarter of 2012, and the net interest margin was 3.16%. These results compare to taxable-equivalent net interest income of $604 million and a net interest margin of 3.25% for the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in net interest income is attributed to a decline in both the net interest margin and earning assets. The net interest margin has been under pressure as a result of the continuation of the low-rate environment contracting the spread between lending rates and funding costs.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $4 million, and the net interest margin improved by three basis points. The slight decrease in net interest income is primarily due to the write-off of $6 million of capitalized loan origination costs resulting from the early termination of a leveraged lease in the first quarter of 2012. The improvement in the net interest margin resulted from a decrease in the balance of lower yielding short-term investments during the first quarter of 2012 and a continued decline in funding costs.

Key's noninterest income was $472 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $457 million for the year-ago quarter. Gains on leased equipment increased $23 million, primarily due to a $20 million gain related to the early termination of a leveraged lease, compared to the same period one year ago. Other income also increased $16 million from the year-ago quarter. These increases in noninterest income were partially offset by a $13 million decrease in operating lease income and a $13 million decline in electronic banking fees as a result of new government pricing controls on debit transactions that went into effect October 1, 2011.

The major components of Key's noninterest income for the past five quarters are shown in the following table.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, noninterest income increased by $58 million. Net gains (losses) from principal investing (including results attributable to noncontrolling interests) increased $43 million, and investment banking and capital markets income increased $19 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Key's fourth quarter investment banking and capital markets income included a $24 million charge related to funding Visa's litigation escrow liability account. Gains on leased equipment increased $18 million resulting from the early termination of a leveraged lease in the first quarter of 2012. These increases in noninterest income were partially offset by declines in corporate-owned life insurance of $5 million, net gains (losses) from loan sales of $5 million and other income of $10 million.

Key's noninterest expense was $703 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $701 million for the same period last year. Personnel expense increased $14 million due to increased salaries and stock-based compensation expenses, partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation. Nonpersonnel expense decreased $12 million compared to the same period one year ago with declines in operating lease expense, FDIC assessments and other real estate owned ("OREO") expense being offset by increases in marketing, the provision (credit) for losses on lending-related commitments and other expense.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, noninterest expense decreased by $14 million. Business services and professional fees decreased $19 million and marketing expense declined $11 million. These decreases in noninterest expense from the fourth quarter of 2011 were partially offset by increases of $11 million in the provision (credit) for losses on lending-related commitments and $8 million in other expenses.

ASSET QUALITY

Key's provision for loan and lease losses was a charge of $42 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to a credit of $40 million for the year-ago quarter and a credit of $22 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Key's allowance for loan and lease losses was $944 million, or 1.92% of total period-end loans at March 31, 2012, compared to 2.03% at December 31, 2011, and 2.83% at March 31, 2011.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, net loan charge-offs in the commercial loan portfolio increased by $1 million and net loan charge-offs in the consumer loan portfolio decreased by $5 million. As shown in the table on page 6, Key's exit loan portfolio accounted for $26 million, or 25.74% of Key's total net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2012. Net loan charge-offs in the exit loan portfolio increased by $4 million from the fourth quarter of 2011 due to increases in net loan charge-offs in the commercial loan portfolios.

At March 31, 2012, Key's nonperforming loans totaled $666 million and represented 1.35% of period-end portfolio loans, compared to 1.47% at December 31, 2011, and 1.82% at March 31, 2011. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2012, totaled $767 million and represented 1.55% of portfolio loans and OREO and other nonperforming assets, compared to 1.73% at December 31, 2011, and 2.23% at March 31, 2011.

(a)

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.



Nonperforming assets continued to decrease during the first quarter of 2012, representing the tenth consecutive quarterly decline. As shown in the following table, Key's exit loan portfolio accounted for $103 million, or 13.43% of Key's total nonperforming assets at March 31, 2012.

The following table shows the composition of Key's exit loan portfolio at March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the net charge-offs recorded on this portfolio for the first quarter of 2012 and fourth quarter of 2011, and the nonperforming status of these loans at March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011.

Key Community BankSummary of Operations

Key Community Bank recorded net income attributable to Key of $57 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to net income attributable to Key of $81 million for the year-ago quarter.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income declined by $25 million, or 7% from the first quarter of 2011. Average loans and leases grew 1% while average deposits declined 1% from one year ago. Given the continued low-rate environment, the value derived from deposits was less in the current period.

Noninterest income decreased by $12 million, or 6% from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to a $13 million decline in electronic banking fees resulting from new government pricing controls on debit transactions that went into effect October 1, 2011.

The provision for loan and lease losses declined by $9 million, or 82% compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to lower net loan charge-offs from the same period one year ago. Net loan charge-offs were $49 million for the first quarter of 2012, down $27 million from the $76 million incurred in the same period one year ago.

Noninterest expense increased by $9 million, or 2% from the year-ago quarter. An increase in internally allocated costs and the provision (credit) for losses on lending-related commitments was partially offset by a reduction in FDIC deposit insurance assessments and a decline in personnel expense from one year ago.

Key Corporate BankSummary of Operations

Key Corporate Bank recorded net income attributable to Key of $100 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to net income attributable to Key of $126 million for the same period one year ago.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was flat compared to the first quarter of 2011 as the decreased value derived from deposits was offset by an increase in average earning assets. Although average deposits increased $274 million, or 2%, the deposit spread decreased $11 million due to the prolonged low-rate environment. Average earning assets increased $869 million, or 4% from the year-ago quarter, and combined with lower levels of nonperforming assets, led to a $12 million increase in earning asset spread.

Noninterest income declined by $5 million, or 2% from the first quarter of 2011. A decrease in operating lease income and trust and investment services income was partially offset by an increase in net gains (losses) from loan sales compared to the year-ago quarter.

The provision for loan and lease losses in the first quarter of 2012 was a charge of $13 million compared to a credit of $21 million for the same period one year ago. The charge in the first quarter of 2012 related to the increase in loans and leases, partially offset by continued improvement in the portfolio's asset quality for the tenth consecutive quarter. Net loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 2012 were $25 million compared to $75 million for the same period one year ago.

Noninterest expense increased by $3 million, or 1% from the first quarter of 2011. A decrease in operating lease expense was partially offset by increases in other operating expenses.

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 $45 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to net income attributable to Key of $58 million for the same period last year. These results were primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses of $52 million in the exit portfolio. This increase was partially offset by a $14 million net gain resulting from the early termination of a leveraged lease in the first quarter of 2012 ($20 million gain on leased equipment less a $6 million charge for the write-off of capitalized loan origination costs).

(a)

The following table entitled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" presents the computations of certain financial measures related to "tangible common equity" and "Tier 1 common equity." The table reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures, which provides a basis for period-to-period comparisons.

 

(b)

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. As a result of these decisions, Key has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations.

 

(c)

3-31-12 ratio is estimated.

 

(d)

Represents period-end consolidated total loans and loans held for sale (excluding education loans in the securitization trusts) divided by period-end consolidated total deposits (excluding deposits in foreign office).

 

(e)

Earnings per share may not foot due to rounding.



TE = Taxable Equivalent, GAAP = U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

 

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

The table below presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to "tangible common equity," "Tier 1 common equity" and "pre-provision net revenue."

The tangible common equity ratio has been a focus for some investors, and management believes this ratio 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. Since the commencement of the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review process in early 2009, the Federal Reserve has focused its assessment of capital adequacy on a component of Tier 1 risk-based capital known as Tier 1 common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Because the Federal Reserve has long indicated that voting common shareholders' equity (essentially Tier 1 risk-based capital less preferred stock, qualifying capital securities and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries) generally should be the dominant element in Tier 1 risk-based capital, this focus on Tier 1 common equity is consistent with existing capital adequacy categories.

Tier 1 common equity is neither formally defined by GAAP nor prescribed in amount by federal banking regulations; this measure 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 Tier 1 common equity, 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.

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.

(a)

Results are from continuing operations. Interest excludes the interest associated with the liabilities referred to in (d) below, calculated using a matched funds transfer pricing methodology.

 

(b)

Interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans has been adjusted to a taxable-equivalent basis using the statutory federal income tax rate of 35%.

 

(c)

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

 

(d)

Discontinued liabilities include the liabilities of the education lending business and the dollar amount of any additional liabilities assumed necessary to support the assets associated with this business.

 

(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 our matched funds transfer pricing methodology to discontinued operations.

(a)

For the quarters ended March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, fixed income and equity securities trading comprised the vast majority of this amount. In these quarters, income related to foreign exchange and interest rate derivative trading was less than $1 million and was offset by losses from Key's credit portfolio management activities.











(b)

The allocation between proprietary and non-proprietary is made based upon whether the trade is conducted for the benefit of Key or Key's clients rather than based upon the proposed rulemakings under the Volcker Rule. The prohibitions and restrictions on proprietary trading activities contemplated by the Volcker Rule and the rules proposed thereunder are not yet final. Therefore, the ultimate impact of the rules proposed under the Volcker Rule is not yet known.

(a)

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.
