KeyCorp Reports Record First Quarter 2021 Net Income Of $591 Million, Or $.61 Per Diluted Common Share

04/20/2021
Positive operating leverage compared to the year-ago quarter
Record first quarter revenue, up 19% from year-ago quarter, driven by broad-based strength in fees
Strong credit quality: nonperforming loans and net charge-offs down from prior quarter
Returned capital to shareholders: repurchased $135 million in common shares
Successful launch of Laurel Road for Doctors: expands digital reach nationally for medical professionals

CLEVELAND, April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) today announced net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $591 million, or $.61 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2021. This compared to $549 million, or $.56 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $118 million, or $.12 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2020. 

This was a strong start to the year for Key as we executed our strategy, grew and expanded client relationships, and delivered positive operating leverage. Our results reflect strong credit quality as well as record first quarter revenues, with strength in our investment banking business and ongoing momentum from our consumer growth engines.

We have continued to make investments in our business to position the company for success. In March, we successfully launched Laurel Road for Doctors, a digital platform tailored to the unique financial needs of healthcare professionals. Additionally, this platform expands our digital reach nationally, for this targeted client segment. Laurel Road for Doctors underscores our commitment to both targeted scale and digital transformation.

Credit quality continued to be a strength this quarter. Our strong risk management practices contributed to broad-based improvement in our credit metrics. 

Maintaining our strong capital position also remains a priority. Our Common Equity Tier 1 ratio at the end of the first quarter was 9.8%, which is above our targeted range of 9.0% to 9.5%. In January, our Board of Directors authorized a $900 million share repurchase program of which we executed $135 million in the first quarter. 

I remain optimistic about the future as we emerge from the pandemic and the economic recovery continues. Key is well-positioned to grow and deliver on our commitments to all of our stakeholders.

     -  Chris Gorman, Chairman and CEO

TE = Taxable Equivalent

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1.0 billion for the first quarter of 2021, compared to taxable-equivalent net interest income of $989 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in net interest income reflects higher earning asset balances and loan fees, partially offset by a lower net interest margin. The net interest margin was impacted by lower interest rates and a change in balance sheet mix, including elevated levels of liquidity. 

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $31 million and the net interest margin decreased by 9 basis points. The decrease in both net interest income and the net interest margin reflects lower reinvestment yields, lower loan fees, and an unfavorable balance sheet mix, including elevated levels of liquidity, partly offset by lower interest-bearing deposit costs. Net interest income was also impacted by two fewer days in the first quarter of 2021.

Compared to the first quarter of 2020, noninterest income increased by $261 million, primarily driven by a $139 million increase in other income including $92 million of market-related valuation adjustments in the year-ago quarter. Investment banking and debt placement fees increased $46 million from the year-ago period, due to strength in the debt and equity markets. Cards and payments income increased $39 million, due to heightened prepaid card activity. Additionally, investments made in Key's mortgage business continue to drive consumer mortgage income and commercial mortgage servicing fees, which increased $27 million and $16 million, respectively, from the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, noninterest income decreased by $64 million. The largest driver of the quarter-over-quarter decrease was a $81 million decrease in investment banking and debt placement fees, partially driven by expected seasonality. Partially offsetting the decrease was a $10 million increase in trust and investment services income and a $8 million increase in cards and payments income.

Key's noninterest expense was $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $140 million from the year-ago period. The increase is primarily related to higher personnel costs of $109 million, reflecting higher incentive and stock-based compensation, attributed to an increase in revenue and stock performance and an increase in employee benefits. Other drivers for the year-over-year increases include payments-related expenses from prepaid card activity incurred in the current period, as well as computer processing expenses.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, noninterest expense decreased $57 million. This was largely due to decreases in severance, incentive and stock-based compensation, and salaries and contract labor. Additionally, other expense decreased $22 million, partially due to lower charitable contributions.

Average loans were $100.7 billion for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $4.6 billion compared to the first quarter of 2020. Commercial loans increased $2.2 billion, reflecting Key's participation in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), partially offset by decreased utilization versus the year-ago period. Consumer loans increased $2.4 billion, driven by strength from Laurel Road and Key's consumer mortgage business.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, average loans decreased by $1.0 billion. Commercial loans declined due to the forgiveness of a portion of PPP loans and lower commercial utilization rates. Consumer loans continue to reflect strength from Key's consumer mortgage business, as well as Laurel Road.

Key's provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $93 million, including a $207 million reserve release for the first quarter of 2021, compared to an expense of $359 million in the first quarter of 2020 and an expense of $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The reserve release was largely driven by expected improvement in the economic outlook.

Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $114 million, or .46% of average total loans. These results compare to $84 million, or .35%, for the first quarter of 2020 and $135 million, or .53%, for the fourth quarter of 2020. Key's allowance for credit losses was $1.6 billion, or 1.60% of total period-end loans at March 31, 2021, compared to 1.47% at March 31, 2020, and 1.80% at December 31, 2020.

At March 31, 2021, Key's nonperforming loans totaled $728 million, which represented .72% of period-end portfolio loans. These results compare to .61% at March 31, 2020, and .78% at December 31, 2020. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2021, totaled $790 million, and represented .78% of period-end portfolio loans and OREO and other nonperforming assets. These results compare to .82% at March 31, 2020, and .92% at December 31, 2020.

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." The table reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures, which provides a basis for period-to-period comparisons.

Key's capital position remained strong in the first quarter of 2021. As shown in the preceding table, at March 31, 2021, Key's estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios stood at 9.8% and 11.2%, respectively. Key's tangible common equity ratio was 7.5% at March 31, 2021.

Key has elected the CECL phase-in option provided by regulatory guidance which delays for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital and phases it in over three years beginning in 2022. On a fully phased-in basis, Key's Common Equity Tier 1 ratio would be reduced by 25 basis points.

Charges related to the funding of these assets are part of net interest income and are allocated to the business segments through noninterest expense. Reconciling items also includes intercompany eliminations and certain items that are not allocated to the business segments because they do not reflect their normal operations.

Consumer Bank Summary of Operations (1Q21 vs. 1Q20)

  • Net income attributable to Key of $217 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $103 million for the year-ago quarter
  • Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $26 million, or 4.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2020, driven by strong balance sheet growth and fees related to PPP loans, partially offset by the lower interest rate environment
  • Average loans and leases increased $6.1 billion, or 18.3%, driven by benefit from the PPP, as well as growth from Laurel Road and consumer mortgage
  • Average deposits increased $11.9 billion, or 16.3%, from the first quarter of 2020. This was driven by consumer stimulus payments and relationship growth
  • Provision for credit losses decreased $159 million compared to the first quarter of 2020. The provision for credit losses was a net benefit and was driven by expected improvements in economic conditions and continued strength in client credit quality
  • Noninterest income increased $28 million, or 12.2%, from the year ago quarter, due to higher trust and investment services income, and strength in consumer mortgage income
  • Noninterest expense increased $62 million, or 11.5%, from the year ago quarter, driven by higher variable compensation from significantly favorable revenue and higher variable expenses related to higher loan volumes

Commercial Bank Summary of Operations (1Q21 vs. 1Q20)

  • Net income attributable to Key of $383 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $66 million for the year-ago quarter
  • Taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $10 million, compared to the first quarter of 2020, as the lower interest rate environment offset fees related to PPP loans
  • Average loan and lease balances decreased $1.2 billion, compared to the first quarter of 2020 as lower utilization offset PPP loans
  • Average deposit balances increased $15.5 billion, or 42.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2020, driven by growth in targeted relationships and the impact of government programs
  • Provision for credit losses decreased $289 million compared to the first quarter of 2020. The provision for credit losses was a net benefit and was driven by expected improvements in economic conditions
  • Noninterest income increased $227 million, from the year-ago quarter, driven by favorable market-related adjustments to customer derivatives compared to detriments in 2020, increased investment banking client activity, and higher cards and payments income related to prepaid card revenue
  • Noninterest expense increased by $81 million, or 22.4%, from the first quarter of 2020, driven by higher variable compensation from significantly favorable revenue and elevated variable expenses related to prepaid card

(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.

(c)

Represents period-end consolidated total loans and loans held for sale divided by period-end consolidated total deposits.

(d)

March 31, 2021, ratio is estimated and reflects Key's election to adopt the CECL optional transition provision.

 

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," "pre-provision net revenue," and "cash efficiency ratio."


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.


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.

(a)

Restructured loans (i.e., troubled debt restructuring) 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.
