CLEVELAND, July 19, 2018

CLEVELAND, July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- KeyCorp KEY today announced second quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $464 million, or $.44 per common share, compared to $402 million, or $.38 per common share, for the first quarter of 2018 and $393 million, or $.36 per common share, for the second quarter of 2017. Key's results in the second quarter of 2018 and the second quarter of 2017 included a number of notable items; additional detail can be found on page 24 of this release.

"Second quarter results were strong, driven by broad-based growth and momentum in our commercial and consumer businesses. Continued loan growth, higher fees, and expense discipline drove positive operating leverage for the quarter. Importantly, our cash efficiency ratio improved to 58.8% and our return on tangible common equity was 16.7%. Across our franchise, we are benefitting from efforts to do more for our new and existing clients, while also increasing the productivity and efficiency of our businesses. Key's improved profitability and returns in the second quarter mark meaningful progress as we deliver on our commitments and work to achieve our long-term targets.

During the quarter, we also announced a 42% increase in our common share dividend along with a $1.2 billion share repurchase program, as part of our 2018 capital plan. Our plan marks a significant increase in shareholder payout as we move toward targeted levels of capital and common dividend payout, all to maximize long-term shareholder value."

TE = Taxable Equivalent

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $987 million for the second quarter of 2018, and the net interest margin was 3.19%, compared to taxable-equivalent net interest income of $987 million and a net interest margin of 3.30% for the second quarter of 2017. Second quarter 2018 net interest income included $28 million of purchase accounting accretion, a decline of $72 million from the second quarter of 2017. Excluding purchase accounting accretion, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $72 million from the second quarter of 2017, and the net interest margin increased 13 basis points, reflecting the benefit from higher interest rates and higher earning asset balances.

Compared to the first quarter of 2018, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $35 million, and the net interest margin increased by four basis points. Both net interest income and the net interest margin benefited from higher interest rates and strong commercial loan growth. One additional day in the quarter further benefited net interest income. These benefits were partially offset by continued expected declines in purchase accounting accretion. Excluding purchase accounting accretion, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $40 million from the first quarter of 2018 and the net interest margin increased six basis points.

N/M = Not meaningful

Key's noninterest income was $660 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $653 million for the year-ago quarter. Growth was driven by an increase in investment banking and debt placement fees, related to strength in advisory fees, including benefit from the acquisition of Cain Brothers. Mortgage servicing fees also increased, benefiting from portfolio growth and increases in special servicing fees. Other income increased compared to the year-ago quarter, largely due to a gain on the sale of Key Insurance and Benefits Services. These increases were partially offset by a decline in operating lease income and other leasing gains, driven by a $42 million lease residual loss in the second quarter of 2018. Trust and investment services income also declined, impacted by the sale of Key Insurance and Benefits Services.

Compared to the first quarter of 2018, noninterest income increased by $59 million. The primary driver of the quarter-over-quarter increase was a $78 million gain related to the sale of Key Insurance and Benefits Services, reported in other income. Additionally, investment banking and debt placement fees and cards and payments income, which increased $12 million and $9 million, respectively, benefited from ongoing investments and momentum across the franchise. These increases were partially offset by a decline in operating lease income related to a lease residual loss, as well as trust and investment services income, which was impacted by the sale of Key Insurance and Benefits Services.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense	$	993	$	1,006	$	995	(1.3)	(.2)

N/M = Not meaningful

Key's noninterest expense was $993 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $995 million in the year-ago quarter. Growth from acquisitions and investments, including Cain Brothers and HelloWallet, as well as the addition of client-facing bankers and continued investment in our residential mortgage business, contributed to both personnel and nonpersonnel expense in the second quarter of 2018. Efficiency-related expenses of $22 million (largely severance) and $5 million of costs related to the sale of Key Insurance and Benefits Services also impacted the current quarter's results. The current quarter also benefited from the realization of merger-related cost savings. In the second quarter of 2017, Key incurred $44 million of merger-related charges and a $20 million charitable contribution.

Key's noninterest expense was $993 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $1 billion in the prior quarter. This quarter's decrease was largely driven by expected seasonal trends, including lower employee benefits expense, which declined $23 million, and lower occupancy and intangible asset amortization. Partially offsetting these declines were $22 million related to efficiency efforts (largely severance) and $5 million related to the sale of Key Insurance and Benefits Services.

Average loans were $88.6 billion for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $2.1 billion compared to the second quarter of 2017, reflecting broad-based growth in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decline in commercial real estate balances related to higher paydowns.

Compared to the first quarter of 2018, average loans increased by $1.7 billion, largely the result of growth in commercial and industrial loans. Key realized growth across commercial client segments, with commercial and industrial loans up 3% in the Community Bank and 7% in the Corporate Bank, unannualized.

N/A = Not Applicable

Average deposits totaled $104 billion for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $1.2 billion compared to the year-ago quarter, reflecting a shift to higher-yielding deposit products, as well as strength in Key's retail banking franchise and growth from commercial relationships. Growth was partially offset by the managed exit of certain higher cost corporate and public sector deposits.

Compared to the first quarter of 2018, average deposits increased by $1.4 billion. NOW and money market deposit accounts increased $1.2 billion and certificates of deposit and other time deposits increased $628 million, partly offset by a $471 million decline in noninterest-bearing deposits, as clients shift to higher-yielding deposit products. The linked quarter deposit growth continues to reflect strong retail deposit growth and growth from commercial relationships.

N/A = Not Applicable

Key's provision for credit losses was $64 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $66 million for the second quarter of 2017 and $61 million for the first quarter of 2018. Key's allowance for loan and lease losses was $887 million, or 1.01% of total period-end loans, at June 30, 2018, compared to 1.01% at June 30, 2017, and 1.00% at March 31, 2018.

Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $60 million, or .27% of average total loans. These results compare to $66 million, or .31%, for the second quarter of 2017, and $54 million, or .25%, for the first quarter of 2018.

At June 30, 2018, Key's nonperforming loans totaled $545 million, which represented .62% of period-end portfolio loans. These results compare to .59% at June 30, 2017, and .61% at March 31, 2018. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2018, totaled $571 million, and represented .65% of period-end portfolio loans and OREO and other nonperforming assets.

CAPITAL

Key's estimated risk-based capital ratios included in the following table continued to exceed all "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks at June 30, 2018.

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 second quarter. As shown in the preceding table, at June 30, 2018, Key's estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios stood at 10.12% and 10.94%, respectively. Key's tangible common equity ratio was 8.32% at June 30, 2018.

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 extending to January 1, 2019. Key's estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio as calculated under the fully phased-in Regulatory Capital Rules was 10.03% at June 30, 2018. This estimate exceeds the fully phased-in required minimum Common Equity Tier 1 and Capital Conservation Buffer of 7.00%.

Key's 2018 Capital Plan received no objection from the Federal Reserve. The plan includes a 42% increase in the quarterly common share dividend from $0.12 per share to $0.17 per share, which is payable in the third quarter of 2018. Also included in the plan is a common share repurchase program of up to $1.225 billion. This authorization includes repurchases to offset issuances of common shares under our employee compensation plans. Repurchases are expected to be executed over the next four quarters.

Key Community Bank Summary of Operations (2Q18 vs. 2Q17)

Net income increased $46 million, or 23.2%, from prior year
Average commercial and industrial loans increased $1.1 billion, or 5.8%, from the prior year

Key Community Bank recorded net income attributable to Key of $244 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $198 million for the year-ago quarter, benefiting from momentum across Key's businesses, as well as a lower tax rate as a result of tax reform.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $39 million, or 5.8%, from the second quarter of 2017. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to the benefit from higher interest rates and growth in loans, partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion. Average loans and leases increased $507 million, or 1.1%, largely driven by a $1.1 billion, or 5.8%, increase in commercial and industrial loans. Additionally, average deposits increased $1.3 billion, or 1.7%, from one year ago.

Noninterest income decreased $41 million, or 12.7%, from the year-ago quarter driven by a merchant services gain in the second quarter of 2017. Noninterest income, excluding the merchant services gain in the year-ago period, increased primarily due to higher assets under management from market growth.

The provision for credit losses decreased by $9 million, or 19.1%, from the second quarter of 2017. Net loan charge-offs decreased $13 million, or 27.7%, from the second quarter of 2017, as overall credit quality remained favorable.

Noninterest expense increased $4 million, or 0.6%, from the year-ago quarter. Personnel expense increased $11 million, primarily driven by recent acquisitions and ongoing investments, including residential mortgage and HelloWallet. Nonpersonnel expense decreased by $7 million, driven by a charitable contribution in the second quarter of 2017, which was partially offset by higher technology development costs.

Key Corporate Bank Summary of Operations (2Q18 vs. 2Q17)

Commercial and industrial loans up $3.3 billion, or 15%, from prior year
Investment banking and debt placement fees up $19 million, or 14.2%, from prior year

Key Corporate Bank recorded net income attributable to Key of $167 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $224 million for the same period one year ago.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $35 million, or 11.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2017. The decline is primarily related to $33 million of lower purchase accounting accretion, as well as loan spread compression. Average loan and lease balances increased $2 billion, or 5.3%, from the year-ago quarter, driven by broad-based growth in commercial and industrial loans. Average deposit balances decreased $88 million, or 0.4%, from the year-ago quarter, due to the managed exit of higher cost corporate and public sector deposits offsetting growth in core deposits.

Noninterest income was down $20 million, or 7.0%, from the prior year. This decrease was largely due to a $32 million decline in operating lease income and other leasing gains, driven by a lease residual loss in the second quarter of 2018. Other declines included other noninterest income down $16 million, mostly due to a merchant services gain in the year-ago period. These decreases were slightly offset by higher investment banking and debt placement fees of $19 million, related to strength in advisory fees, including benefit from the acquisition of Cain Brothers, as well as a $6 million increase in corporate services income from higher derivatives revenue.

During the second quarter of 2018, the provision for credit losses increased $9 million, or 47.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2017, mostly due to higher net loan charge-offs.

Noninterest expense increased by $29 million, or 9.8%, from the second quarter of 2017. The increase from the prior year was largely related to acquisitions and investments throughout the year, which drove an increase in personnel expense and intangible asset amortization. Operating lease expense also increased compared to the year-ago period.

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 $25 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $24 million for the same period last year.

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," 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. 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 extending to January 1, 2019.

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.
