Oct. 21, 2009 (PR Newswire) -- CLEVELAND, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
-- Net loss from continuing operations of $.50 per common share
-- Loan loss reserve increased to $2.5 billion, or 4.00% of total loans
-- Capital and liquidity positions remain strong; Tier 1 common equity
ratio of 7.63%
-- Sharpened focus on relationship businesses
-- $8.5 billion in new or renewed loans and commitments originated
KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) today announced a third quarter net loss from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $422 million, or $.50 per common share. These results compare to a net loss from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $9 million, or $.02 per common share, for the third quarter of 2008.
The loss for the current quarter is largely the result of an increase in the provision for loan losses, write-downs of certain real estate related investments, higher costs associated with other real estate owned ("OREO"), and the write-off of certain intangible assets. During the third quarter, Key continued to increase its loan loss reserves by taking a $733 million provision for loan losses, which exceeded net charge-offs by $146 million. As of the end of the quarter, Key's allowance for loan losses was $2.5 billion, or 4.00% of total loans, up from $1.4 billion, or 1.90%, one year ago.
"While our results continue to be impacted by the difficult operating environment, we believe the aggressive actions we've taken to address credit quality, strengthen capital and liquidity, and reshape our business mix position us to meet the challenges posed by the current environment and to emerge as a more competitive company when the economy rebounds," said Chief Executive Officer Henry L. Meyer III. "Further, we are encouraged by the continuation of deposit growth and the improvement in our net interest margin."
During the third quarter, Key exchanged common shares for retail capital securities, raising $505 million of additional Tier 1 common equity. This completed a series of successful capital raises and exchanges that generated approximately $2.4 billion of new Tier 1 common equity to bolster the company's overall capital. At September 30, 2009, Key's estimated Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 common equity ratios were 12.61% and 7.63%, respectively.
Key's average deposits grew by $3.6 billion, or 6%, compared to the year-ago quarter, and the company originated approximately $8.5 billion in new or renewed loans and commitments to consumers and businesses during the quarter, and $24.5 billion during the first nine months of the year. As part of a multi-year investment in its 14-state branch network, the company has opened 32 new branches (including relocations) in 8 markets in 2009, and expects to open an additional 6 branches by the end of the year. Also, Key will have completed renovations on approximately 160 branches over the past two years by the end of 2009.
Meyer added: "We are continuing to strengthen our business mix and to concentrate on the areas in which we believe we can be the most competitive. Earlier this month, we announced our decision to exit the government-guaranteed education lending business, following earlier actions taken to cease private student lending. Additionally, within the equipment leasing business, we have decided to cease conducting business in both the commercial vehicle and office leasing markets. These actions exemplify our disciplined focus on our core relationship businesses."
As a result of the decision to exit the government-guaranteed education lending business, Key has applied discontinued operations accounting to the education lending business for all periods presented in this release. In addition, during the third quarter of 2009, the company recorded a $45 million charge to write-off intangible assets, other than goodwill, associated with the decision to cease lending in certain equipment leasing markets.

(a) In September 2009, management made the decision to discontinue the
education lending business conducted through Key Education Resources,
the education payment and financing unit of KeyBank National
Association. In April 2009, management made the decision to curtail
the operations of Austin Capital Management, Ltd., an investment
subsidiary that specializes in managing hedge fund investments for
its institutional customer base. As a result of these decisions,
Key has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations.
Included in the loss from discontinued operations for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2009, is a $23 million after tax, or $.05
per common share, charge for intangible assets impairment related to
Austin Capital Management recorded during the first quarter.

SUMMARY OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $599 million for the third quarter of 2009, and the net interest margin was 2.80%. These results compare to taxable-equivalent net interest income of $684 million and a net interest margin of 3.17% for the third quarter of 2008. During the past twelve months, the net interest margin has remained under pressure as the decrease in the federal funds target rate has resulted in a larger decrease in the interest rates on earning assets than that experienced for interest-bearing liabilities. Competition for deposits and a shift in deposit mix to higher costing, longer-term certificates of deposit have also contributed to the lower net interest margin. During the same period, earning asset yields have been compressed as a result of the higher levels of nonperforming loans. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2009, Key terminated certain leveraged lease financing arrangements, which reduced net interest income by $14 million and lowered the net interest margin by approximately 7 basis points.
Compared to the second quarter of 2009, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $24 million, and the net interest margin rose by 10 basis points. The improvement reflects the impact of repricing maturing certificates of deposit at lower market rates, new or renewed loans with more favorable interest rate spreads, and increasing the securities available-for-sale portfolio using excess cash flows from loan repayments and deposit flows. The net interest margin for the second quarter was also affected by the termination of certain leveraged lease financing arrangements, which reduced net interest income by $16 million and lowered the net interest margin by approximately 7 basis points.
Key's noninterest income was $382 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $390 million for the year-ago quarter. Both the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 were impacted by market related conditions. In the third quarter of 2009, the company recorded a $26 million loss resulting from changes in the fair values of certain investments made by the Funds Management unit within the Real Estate Capital and Corporate Banking Services line of business, a $20 million loss resulting from changes in the fair values of certain commercial mortgage-backed securities held in the trading portfolio, and a $12 million charge resulting from an increase in the reserve for losses related to customer derivatives. In addition, the company incurred a $17 million loss associated with the exchange of common shares for capital securities in the third quarter of 2009. Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2008 includes $54 million of derivative-related charges recorded as a result of market disruption caused by the failure of Lehman Brothers and $31 million of realized and unrealized losses from the residential properties segment of the construction loan portfolio.
The major components of Key's fee-based income for the past five quarters are shown in the following table.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Compared to the second quarter of 2009, noninterest income decreased by $324 million. The decrease was due largely to three transactions recorded during the second quarter. These transactions included $125 million of net gains recorded in connection with the repositioning of the securities portfolio; a $95 million gain related to the exchange of common shares for capital securities, compared to the $17 million loss recorded in the current quarter; and a $32 million gain from the sale of Key's claim associated with the Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy. During the third quarter, Key also experienced a $40 million decrease in results from investment banking and capital markets activities, due primarily to the items discussed above, and a $14 million decrease in net gains on sales of leased equipment.
Key's noninterest expense was $901 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $740 million for the same period last year. Personnel expense rose by $6 million, due largely to higher costs associated with employee benefits, primarily pension expense. This increase was offset in part by a reduction in salaries expense caused by a 9% decline in the number of average full-time equivalent employees. Nonpersonnel expense increased by $155 million, reflecting increases of $46 million resulting from the write-down or sale of OREO, $37 million in the FDIC deposit insurance assessment and $21 million in the provision for losses on lending-related commitments. Also contributing to the increase in noninterest expense was the $45 million write-off of intangible assets, other than goodwill, recorded during the third quarter of 2009 as a result of Key's decision to cease lending in certain equipment leasing markets.
Compared to the second quarter of 2009, noninterest expense increased by $46 million as a result of the $45 million write-off of intangible assets associated with Key's equipment leasing business during the third quarter of 2009. Other changes in expense components between the third and second quarters of 2009 offset each other, with the FDIC deposit insurance assessment decreasing by $30 million and OREO expense increasing by $36 million.
ASSET QUALITY
Key's provision for loan losses was $733 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $336 million for the year-ago quarter and $823 million for the second quarter of 2009. Credit migration, particularly in the commercial real estate portfolio, continues to result in higher levels of net charge-offs and nonperforming loans, and increased reserves. Key's provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2009 exceeded net loan charge-offs by $146 million. As a result, Key's allowance for loan losses rose to $2.5 billion, or 4.00% of total loans, at September 30, 2009, up from $2.3 billion, or 3.48%, at June 30, 2009.

Compared to the second quarter of 2009, net loan charge-offs in the commercial loan portfolio increased by $82 million, as elevated net charge-offs continue on commercial real estate loans. The Real Estate Capital and Corporate Banking Services line of business within the National Banking group accounted for most of the growth in net charge-offs in the commercial real estate portfolio. The level of net charge-offs in the consumer portfolio rose by $3 million. As shown in the table on page 7, Key's exit loan portfolio accounted for $137 million, or 23%, of Key's total net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009. Net charge-offs in the exit portfolio decreased by $11 million from the second quarter of 2009.
At September 30, 2009, Key's nonperforming loans totaled $2.3 billion and represented 3.68% of period-end portfolio loans, compared to 3.25% at June 30, 2009, and 1.32% at September 30, 2008. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2009, totaled $2.8 billion and represented 4.46% of portfolio loans, OREO and other nonperforming assets, compared to 3.77% at June 30, 2009, and 1.69% at September 30, 2008.

As shown in the preceding table, nonperforming assets rose during the third quarter of 2009, but at a much slower pace than that experienced in recent quarters. Most of the increase in nonperforming loans was attributable to the commercial real estate portfolio and was caused in part by the continuation of deteriorating market conditions in the income properties segment. The increase in nonperforming loans held for sale reflects the actions Key is taking to aggressively reduce its exposure in the commercial real estate and institutional portfolios through the sale of selected assets. In conjunction with these efforts, Key transferred $193 million of loans ($248 million, net of $55 million in net charge-offs) from the held-to-maturity loan portfolio to held-for-sale status during the third quarter of 2009, and has contracted to sell most of these loans by the end of October. As shown in the following table, Key's exit loan portfolio accounted for $695 million, or 25%, of Key's total nonperforming assets at September 30, 2009, compared to $747 million, or 29%, at June 30, 2009.
The composition of Key's exit loan portfolio at September 30, 2009, and June 30, 2009, the net charge-offs recorded on this portfolio for the third and second quarters of 2009, and the nonperforming status of these loans at September 30, 2009, and June 30, 2009, are shown in the following table.

Key's allowance for loan losses was $2.5 billion, or 4.00% of loans outstanding, at September 30, 2009, compared to $2.3 billion, or 3.48%, at June 30, 2009, and $1.4 billion, or 1.90%, at September 30, 2008. The company has continued to increase its allowance for loan losses as the current credit cycle progresses, and at September 30, 2009, had a coverage ratio of 109% of nonperforming loans.
CAPITAL
Key's risk-based capital ratios included in the following table continued to exceed all "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks at September 30, 2009.

In an effort to further enhance its Tier 1 common equity, on July 8, 2009, Key commenced an SEC-registered offer to exchange Key common shares for certain capital (i.e., retail trust preferred) securities. This exchange offer, which expired on August 4, 2009, generated approximately $505 million of additional Tier 1 common equity. This completes a series of successful capital raises and exchanges that generated approximately $2.4 billion of new Tier I common equity to bolster the company's overall capital and to respond to the SCAP initiated by the U.S. Treasury Department and the federal banking regulators. As shown in the preceding table, at September 30, 2009, Key had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.61%, a Tier 1 common equity ratio of 7.63% and a tangible common equity ratio of 7.58%.

Community Banking Summary of Operations
Community Banking recorded a net loss attributable to Key of $7 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to net income attributable to Key of $98 million for the year-ago quarter. Increases in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expense, coupled with decreases in net interest income and noninterest income, caused the decline.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income declined by $19 million, or 4%, from the third quarter of 2008, due primarily to a decrease in average earning assets. Average deposits increased by $2.6 billion, or 5%, reflecting strong growth in noninterest-bearing deposits. The composition and value of deposits have been impacted by the declining interest rate environment and a shift from money market deposit accounts into higher-costing, longer-term certificates of deposit, reflecting consumer preferences.
Noninterest income decreased by $14 million, or 7%, from the year-ago quarter, due largely to a decline in service charges on deposit accounts resulting from changing client behavior. Also contributing to lower noninterest income was a reduction in investment banking and capital markets income, due primarily to a decline in derivatives trading volume and an increase in the reserve for losses related to customer derivatives. These reductions were partially offset by higher mortgage loan sale gains.
The provision for loan losses rose by $87 million compared to the third quarter of 2008, reflecting a $24 million increase in net loan charge-offs, primarily from the home equity and consumer installment loan portfolios. Community Banking's provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2009 exceeded its net loan charge-offs by $49 million, as the company continued to increase reserves in light of the challenging credit conditions brought on by a weak economy.
Noninterest expense grew by $48 million, or 11%, from the year-ago quarter, due largely to a higher FDIC deposit insurance assessment, and increases in both internally allocated overhead and marketing expense. The adverse effect of these factors was offset in part by lower personnel expense, reflecting a reduction in salaries expense caused by a decrease in the number of average full-time equivalent employees, and lower incentive compensation accruals.

National Banking Summary of Continuing Operations
National Banking recorded a loss from continuing operations attributable to Key of $352 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $90 million for the same period one year ago. A substantially higher provision for loan losses, lower net interest income and an increase in noninterest expense were offset in part by an increase in noninterest income.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $41 million, or 13%, from the third quarter of 2008, due primarily to a decrease in average earning assets and a higher level of nonperforming loans, offset in part by more favorable deposit spreads and an increase in average deposits. Average earning assets decreased by $7.9 billion, or 17%, from the year-ago quarter, reflecting reductions in the commercial and held-for-sale loan portfolios. Average deposits rose by $1.1 billion, or 9%, as growth in NOW accounts and noninterest-bearing deposits more than offset a decline in money market deposit accounts.
Noninterest income rose by $42 million, or 28%, from the third quarter of 2008. Both the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 were impacted by market-related conditions. In the third quarter of 2009, National Banking recorded a $26 million loss resulting from changes in the fair values of certain investments made by the Funds Management unit within the Real Estate Capital and Corporate Banking Services line of business, a $20 million loss resulting from changes in the fair values of certain commercial mortgage-backed securities held in the trading portfolio, and an $8 million charge resulting from an increase in the reserve for losses related to customer derivatives. Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2008 includes $54 million of derivative-related charges recorded as a result of market disruption caused by the failure of Lehman Brothers, and $31 million of realized and unrealized losses from the residential properties segment of the construction loan portfolio. The improvement in noninterest income compared to the third quarter of 2008 also reflects a $16 million increase in net gains on sales of leased equipment.
The provision for loan losses rose by $314 million from the year-ago quarter. National Banking's provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2009 exceeded its net loan charge-offs by $100 million as the company continued to increase reserves in a weak economy.
Noninterest expense grew by $112 million, or 35%, from the third quarter of 2008, reflecting higher expenses associated with the write-down or sale of OREO, and the $45 million write-off of intangible assets, other than goodwill, recorded during the current quarter as a result of Key's decision to cease conducting business in certain equipment leasing markets. Also contributing to the growth in noninterest expense were increases in the provision for losses on lending-related commitments and a variety of other miscellaneous expense components. The adverse effect of these factors was offset in part by lower personnel expense, reflecting a reduction in salaries expense caused by a decrease in the number of average full-time equivalent employees, and a decline in severance costs.
Earlier this month, management announced its decision to discontinue the education lending business and to focus on the growing demand from schools for integrated, simplified billing, payment and cash management solutions. The Consumer Finance line of business will continue to service existing loans in this portfolio and to originate education loans through December 4, 2009. In April 2009, Key made the strategic decision to curtail the operations of Austin Capital Management, Ltd., an investment subsidiary that specializes in managing hedge fund investments for its institutional customer base. As a result of these decisions, Key has applied discontinued operations accounting to these businesses.
Other Segments
Other Segments consist of Corporate Treasury and Key's Principal Investing unit. These segments generated a net loss attributable to Key of $28 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to net income attributable to Key of $8 million for the same period last year. These results reflect a $17 million loss related to the exchange of Key common shares for capital securities during the current quarter. Additionally, Key incurred $11 million of expense in the third quarter of 2009, compared to income of $8 million in the year-ago quarter as a result of the volatility associated with hedge accounting applied to debt instruments.
