WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

FOWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "targeted," "continue," "remain," "will," "should," "may," "plans," "estimates" and similar references to future periods; however, such words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. References to the "Company," " Webster," "we," "our," or "us" mean Webster Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:


▪	projections of revenues, expenses, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, allowance for loan and lease losses, and other financial items;


▪	statements of plans, objectives and expectations of Webster or its management or Board of Directors;


▪	statements of future economic performance; and


▪	statements of assumptions underlying such statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on Webster’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Webster’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, which are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:


▪	our ability to successfully execute our business plan and manage our risks;


▪	local, regional, national and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on us and our customers;


▪	volatility and disruption in national and international financial markets;


▪	changes in the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs;


▪	changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements;

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had an immaterial effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period.

Accounting Standards Adopted During 2019

Effective January 1, 2019, the following ASUs were adopted by the Company:

ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes.

The Update permits the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the interest rates on direct U.S. Treasury obligations, the London Interbank Offered Rate swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Rate.

The Company adopted the Update during the first quarter of 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

The purpose of the Update is to better align a company’s risk management and financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The Update expands an entity's ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in hedges of interest rate risk. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, and generally requires the entire change in fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported.

The Company adopted the Update during the first quarter of 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company has provided enhanced disclosures in Note 13: Derivative Financial Instruments as a result of adopting this Update.

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequent ASUs issued to amend this Topic.

The Updates introduce a lessee model that requires substantially all leases to be recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements. The lessor model remains substantially the same with targeted improvements that do not materially impact the Company.

The Company adopted the Updates during the first quarter of 2019 using the new transition method option that allows the use of effective date, January 1, 2019, as the date of initial application of the new lease accounting standard and to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption. The Company elected the transition relief package of practical expedients which forgoes the requirement to reassess the existence of leases in existing contracts, their lease classification and the accounting treatment of their initial direct costs. As a practical expedient, the Company has also made a policy election to not separate non-lease components from lease components for its real estate leases and instead account for each separate lease components and non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. The Company will separately account for the lease and non-lease components in its equipment leases. The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease based on whether a contract, or a part of a contract, conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The discount rate used is either the rate implicit in the lease, or when a rate cannot be readily determined an incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment.

As a result of adopting this Update, the Company recognized $157.2 million of right-of-use asset (ROU) and $178.2 million of lease liability, as of January 1, 2019. The Company also recorded a $515 thousand cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 for abandoned leased properties and the remaining deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions which occurred prior to the date of adoption. See Note 9: Leasing for further information.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

The following list identifies ASUs applicable to the Company that have been issued by the FASB but are not yet effective:

ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.

The Update amends guidance on credit losses, hedge accounting, and recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The changes provide clarifications and codification improvements in relation to recently issued accounting updates. The amendments to the guidance on credit losses are considered in the paragraphs below related to our adoption of ASU 2016-13, and will be adopted concurrently with those Updates. The clarifications and amendments to the guidance on hedge accounting and recognition and measurement of financial instruments will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company does not expect these changes to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.

The Update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The updated guidance also requires an entity to amortize the capitalized implementation costs as an expense over the term of the hosting arrangement and to present in the same income statement line item as the fees associated with the hosting arrangement.

The Update is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will apply the amendments in this update prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company does not expect this Update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plan - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.

The Update modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.

The updated guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The Company does not expect this Update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.

The Update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The updated guidance will no longer require entities to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, it will require public companies to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements.

The Update is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this Update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.

The Update simplifies quantitative goodwill impairment testing by requiring entities to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, to the extent that the loss recognized does not exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

This changes current guidance by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis which involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination upon acquisition. Entities will still have the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.

The Update must be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent ASUs issued to clarify this Topic.

The Update will replace today's incurred loss approach for recognizing credit losses with a new credit loss methodology known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model requires earlier recognition of credit losses using a lifetime credit loss measurement approach for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The CECL model also requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates.

To implement the new standard, the Company has established a project lead and has empowered a steering committee comprised of members from different disciplines including Credit, Accounting, Finance, Financial Analytics, IT, and Treasury, as well as specific working groups to focus on key components of the development process. Through these working groups, the Company is evaluating the effect that this Update, including subsequent ASUs issued to clarify this Topic, will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The implementation project plan is made up of targeted work streams focused on credit models, data management, and treasury and accounting matters. The new credit models will include additional assumptions used to calculate credit losses over the estimated life of the financial assets and will include the impact of forecasted macroeconomic conditions. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company began to run its new credit models in parallel with its existing models under the incurred loss approach and has completed the validations of these new credit models. For the remainder of 2019, the Company is focused on finalizing its methodology for qualitative adjustments and the full implementation of new processes, controls and third party solutions. The Company is also continuing to work on updating its policies and drafting the new required disclosures under this Update.

These Updates are effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company currently expects an increase in its allowance for loan and lease losses of approximately 25% to 35% upon the adoption of these Updates. This increase will be reflected as a reduction to the Company's beginning total shareholders' equity as of January 1, 2020. This estimated impact is still subject to further refinement based on continuing reviews of models, methodologies, assumptions and judgments. The magnitude of the increase will depend on the composition, characteristics, and credit quality of the loan and securities portfolios as well as the economic conditions in effect at the adoption date.

Note 2: Variable Interest Entities

The Company has an investment interest in the following entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE).

Consolidated

Rabbi Trust. The Company established a Rabbi Trust to meet the obligations due under its Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers and to mitigate the expense volatility of the aforementioned plan. The funding of the Rabbi Trust and the discontinuation of the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers occurred during 2012.

Invested assets in the Rabbi Trust primarily consist of mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the Rabbi Trust as it has the power to direct the activities of the Rabbi Trust that significantly affect the VIE's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company consolidates the invested assets of the trust along with the total deferred compensation obligations and includes them in accrued interest receivable and other assets, and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. Earnings in the Rabbi Trust, including appreciation or depreciation, are reflected as other non-interest income, and changes in the corresponding liability are reflected as compensation and benefits, in the consolidated income statement. See Note 14: Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

Non-Consolidated

Tax Credit - Finance Investments. The Company makes non-marketable equity investments in entities that finance affordable housing and other community development projects and provide a return primarily through the realization of tax benefits. In most instances the investments require the funding of capital commitments in the future. While the Company's investment in an entity may exceed 50% of its outstanding equity interests, the entity is not consolidated as Webster is not involved in its management. For these investments, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. The Company applies the proportional amortization method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate carrying value of the Company's tax credit-finance investments was $43.5 million and $29.1 million, respectively, which represents the Company's maximum exposure to loss. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, unfunded commitments have been recognized, totaling $15.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Webster Statutory Trust. The Company owns all the outstanding common stock of Webster Statutory Trust, a financial vehicle that has issued, and in the future may issue, trust preferred securities. The trust is a VIE in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The trust's only assets are junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company, which were acquired by the trust using the proceeds from the issuance of the trust preferred securities and common stock. The junior subordinated debentures are included in long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet, and the related interest expense is reported as interest expense on long-term debt in the consolidated income statement.

Other Non-Marketable Investments. The Company invests in various alternative investments in which it holds a variable interest. These investments are non-public entities which cannot be redeemed since the Company’s investment is distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. For these investments, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate carrying value of the Company's other investments in VIEs was $20.3 million and $17.6 million, respectively, and the total exposure of the Company's other investments in VIEs, including unfunded commitments, was $54.5 million and $31.0 million, respectively. Refer to Note 14: Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

The Company's equity interests in Other Non-Marketable Investments, as well as Tax Credit - Finance Investments and Webster Statutory Trust, are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. For a description of the Company's accounting policy regarding the consolidation of VIEs, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Impairment Analysis

The following impairment analysis summarizes the basis for evaluating if investment securities within the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios are other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2019. Unless otherwise noted for an investment security type, management does not intend to sell these investment securities and has determined, based upon available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these investment securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. As such, based on the following impairment analysis, the Company does not consider any of these investment securities, in unrealized loss positions, to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Agency CMO. There were unrealized losses of $0.7 million on the Company’s investment in Agency CMO securities issued by government agencies at September 30, 2019, compared to $4.5 million at December 31, 2018. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower market rates while principal balances decreased for this asset class since December 31, 2018. These investments are issued by a government or government sponsored agency and therefore, are backed by certain government guarantees, either direct or implicit. There has been no change in the credit quality, and the contractual cash flows are performing as expected.

Agency MBS. There were unrealized losses of $5.1 million on the Company’s investment in Agency MBS securities issued by government agencies at September 30, 2019, compared to $42.1 million at December 31, 2018. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower market rates while principal balances increased for this asset class since December 31, 2018. These investments are issued by a government or government sponsored agency and therefore, are backed by certain government guarantees, either direct or implicit. There has been no change in the credit quality, and the contractual cash flows are performing as expected.

Agency CMBS. There were unrealized losses of $2.8 million on the Company's investment in Agency Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) issued by government agencies at September 30, 2019, compared to $41.9 million at December 31, 2018. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower market rates while principal balances increased for this asset class since December 31, 2018. These investments are issued by a government or government sponsored agency and therefore, are backed by certain government guarantees, either direct or implicit. There has been no change in the credit quality, and the contractual cash flows are performing as expected.

CMBS. There were unrealized losses of $46 thousand on the Company’s investment in CMBS at September 30, 2019, compared to $3.0 million at December 31, 2018. Unrealized losses decreased due to reduced market spreads while balances decreased for the portfolio of mainly floating rate CMBS at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. Internal stress tests are performed on individual bonds to monitor potential losses under stress scenarios. Contractual cash flows for the bonds continue to perform as expected.

CLO. There were unrealized losses of $0.4 million on the Company’s investments in CLO at September 30, 2019 compared to $2.0 million unrealized losses at December 31, 2018. Unrealized losses decreased due to reduced market spreads while principal decreased from December 31, 2018. Internal stress tests are performed on individual bonds to monitor potential losses under stress scenarios. Contractual cash flows for the bonds continue to perform as expected.

Corporate debt. There were unrealized losses of $4.3 million on the Company's corporate debt portfolio at September 30, 2019, compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2018. Unrealized losses decreased due to reduced market spreads while principal balances decreased since December 31, 2018. The Company performs periodic credit reviews of the issuer to assess the likelihood for ultimate recovery of amortized cost. Contractual cash flows for the bonds continue to perform as expected.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

Agency CMO. There were unrealized losses of $0.7 million on the Company’s investment in Agency CMO securities issued by government agencies at September 30, 2019, compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2018. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower market rates while principal balances decreased since December 31, 2018. These investments are issued by a government or government sponsored agency and therefore, are backed by certain government guarantees, either direct or implicit. There has been no change in the credit quality, and the contractual cash flows are performing as expected.

Agency MBS. There were unrealized losses of $11.2 million on the Company’s investment Agency MBS securities issued by government agencies at September 30, 2019, compared to $79.7 million at December 31, 2018. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower market rates while principal balances increased for this asset class since December 31, 2018. These investments are issued by a government or government sponsored agency and therefore, are backed by certain government guarantees, either direct or implicit. There has been no change in the credit quality, and the contractual cash flows are performing as expected.

For the maturity schedule above, mortgage-backed securities and CLO, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been categorized based on the maturity date of the underlying collateral. Actual principal cash flows may differ from this maturity date presentation as borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

At September 30, 2019, the Company had a carrying value of $1.3 billion in callable debt securities in its CMBS, CLO, and municipal bond portfolios. These maturities may change due to calls. The Company considers this prepayment risk in the evaluation of its interest rate risk profile.

Investment securities with a carrying value totaling $3.0 billion at September 30, 2019 and $2.2 billion December 31, 2018 were pledged to secure public funds, trust deposits, repurchase agreements, and for other purposes, as required or permitted by law.

Credit Quality Indicators. To measure credit risk for the commercial, commercial real estate, and equipment financing portfolios, the Company employs a dual grade credit risk grading system for estimating the probability of default (PD) and the loss given default (LGD). The credit risk grade system assigns a rating to each borrower and to the facility, which together form a Composite Credit Risk Profile. The credit risk grade system categorizes borrowers by common financial characteristics that measure the credit strength of borrowers and facilities by common structural characteristics. The Composite Credit Risk Profile has ten grades, with each grade corresponding to a progressively greater risk of default. Grades (1) - (6) are considered pass ratings, and (7) - (10) are considered criticized, as defined by the regulatory agencies. Risk ratings, assigned to differentiate risk within the portfolio, are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised to reflect changes in a borrower's current financial position and outlook, risk profile, and the related collateral and structural position. Loan officers review updated financial information or other loan factors on at least an annual basis for all pass rated loans to assess the accuracy of the risk grade. Criticized loans undergo more frequent reviews and enhanced monitoring.

A (7) Special Mention credit has the potential weakness that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset. An (8) Substandard asset has a well defined weakness that jeopardizes the full repayment of the debt. An asset rated (9) Doubtful has all of the same weaknesses as a substandard credit with the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full, given current facts, conditions, and values, improbable. Assets classified as (10) Loss, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, are considered uncollectible and charged off.

The following table summarizes commercial, commercial real estate and equipment financing loans and leases segregated by risk rating exposure:

For residential and consumer loans, the primary credit quality indicator that the Company considers is past due status. Other factors, such as, updated Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores, employment status, collateral, geography, loans discharged in bankruptcy, and the status of first lien position loans on second lien position loans, may also be evaluated as credit quality indicators. On an ongoing basis for portfolio monitoring purposes, the Company estimates the current value of property secured as collateral for home equity and residential first mortgage lending products. The estimate is based on home price indices compiled by the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices. The real estate price data is applied to the loan portfolios taking into account the age of the most recent valuation and geographic area.

Note 5: Transfers of Financial Assets

The Company sells financial assets in the normal course of business, primarily residential mortgage loans sold to government-sponsored enterprises through established programs and securitizations. Residential mortgage origination fees, adjustments for changes in fair value, any gain or loss from initial measurement on loans held for sale, and the gain or loss on loans sold are included as mortgage banking activities in the consolidated income statement.

The Company may be required to repurchase a loan in the event of certain breaches of the representations and warranties, or in the event of default of the borrower within 90 days of sale, as provided for in the sale agreements. A reserve for loan repurchases provides for estimated losses pertaining to the potential repurchase of loans associated with the Company’s mortgage banking activities. The reserve reflects loan repurchase requests received by the Company for which management evaluates the identity of the counterparty, the vintage of the loans sold, the amount of open repurchase requests, specific loss estimates for each open request, the current level of loan losses in similar vintages held in the residential loan portfolio, and estimated recoveries on the underlying collateral. The reserve also reflects management’s expectation of losses from loan repurchase requests for which the Company has not yet been notified. The provision recorded at the time of the loan sale is netted from the gain or loss recorded in mortgage banking activities, while any incremental provision, post loan sale, is recorded in other non-interest expense in the consolidated income statement.

The following table provides a summary of activity in the reserve for loan repurchases:



	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,

Ending balance	$	696		$	682		$	696		$	682

The increase to the provision and corresponding charge-off during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was related to a discrete legal settlement in connection with previously sold loans.

Additionally, certain loans not originated for sale were sold at approximately carrying value, consisting of residential loans for cash proceeds of $4.0 million and commercial loans for cash proceeds of $16.6 million resulting in a gain of approximately $615 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and commercial loans for cash proceeds of $674 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The Company services residential mortgage loans totaling $2.4 billion at September 30, 2019 and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2018.

The following table presents the changes in carrying value for mortgage servicing assets:



	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,

Ending balance	$	17,877		$	22,644		$	17,877		$	22,644

Mortgage servicing assets are recorded at fair value upon transfer, and thereafter are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Loan servicing fees, net of mortgage servicing rights amortization, were $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.4 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are included as a component of loan related fees in the consolidated income statement. See Note 14: Fair Value Measurements for additional fair value information on mortgage servicing assets and loans held for sale.

Note 9: Leasing

The Company, as lessee, primarily leases office space, banking centers, and certain other assets. These leases are generally classified as operating leases, however, an insignificant amount of the leases are classified as finance leases. The Company's operating leases generally have lease terms for periods of 5 to 20 years with various renewal options. The Company, by policy, does not include renewal options for leases as part of its ROU assets and lease liabilities unless they are deemed reasonably certain to exercise. The Company does not have any material sub-lease agreements.

During 2019, the Company began recognizing operating leases on its consolidated balance sheet by recording a lease liability representing the Company’s legal obligation to make lease payments, and a ROU asset representing its legal right to use the leased office space, banking centers and certain other assets.

The following table summarizes lessee information related to the Company’s operating ROU assets and lease liability:



	At September 30, 2019
(In thousands)	Operating Leases		Consolidated Balance Sheet Line Item Location
ROU lease assets	$	161,730	Premises and equipment, net
Lease liabilities	180,832		Accrued expenses and other liabilities

Operating lease expense is comprised of operating lease costs and variable lease costs, net of sublease income. The pattern and measurement of expense recognition of these costs was not significantly impacted by the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and subsequent ASUs issued to amend Topic 842.

Variable lease payments are defined as payments made for the right to use an asset that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of a lease liability. Variable lease payments that are not dependent on an index or a rate, or changes in variable payments based on an index or rate after the commencement date, are excluded from the measurement of a lease liability and recognized in the period incurred. All variable lease payments are included within variable lease costs presented below.

The components of operating lease cost and other related information are as follows:

Note 11: Regulatory Matters

Capital Requirements

Webster Financial Corporation is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve System, while Webster Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if Webster Financial Corporation or Webster Bank fail to meet minimum capital requirements, which could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, both Webster Financial Corporation and Webster Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. These quantitative measures require minimum amounts and ratios to ensure capital adequacy.

Basel III total risk-based capital is comprised of three categories: CET1 capital, additional Tier 1 capital, and Tier 2 capital. CET1 capital includes common shareholders' equity, less deductions for goodwill, other intangibles, and certain deferred tax adjustments. Common shareholders' equity, for purposes of CET1 capital, excludes AOCL components as permitted by the opt-out election taken by Webster upon adoption of Basel III. Tier 1 capital is comprised of CET1 capital plus perpetual preferred stock, while Tier 2 capital includes qualifying subordinated debt and qualifying allowance for credit losses, that together equal total capital.

The following table provides information on the capital ratios for Webster Financial Corporation and Webster Bank:

Dilutive Securities

The Company maintains stock compensation plans under which restricted stock, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, or stock appreciation rights may be granted to employees and directors. The effect of dilutive securities for the periods presented is primarily the result of outstanding stock options, as well as non-participating restricted stock.

Potential common shares from non-participating restricted stock, of 44 thousand and 97 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 69 thousand and 54 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are excluded from the effect of dilutive securities because under application of the treasury stock method they would have been anti-dilutive.

Notional amounts of interest rate swaps cleared through CME include $0.7 billion and $1.9 billion for asset derivatives and $2.8 billion and $1.1 billion for liability derivatives at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The related fair values approximate zero.


(2)	The increase in the notional amount is due to $1.0 billion interest rate floors purchased as part of the Company's balance sheet repositioning strategy.


(3)	Notional amounts related to residential loan commitments include mandatory forward commitments of $74.0 million, while notional amounts do not include approved floating rate commitments of $11.0 million, at September 30, 2019.

Other derivatives include foreign currency forward contracts related to lending arrangements and customer hedging activity, a Visa equity swap transaction, and risk participation agreements. Notional amounts of risk participation agreements include $65.0 million and $65.0 million for asset derivatives and $139.5 million and $96.3 million for liability derivatives at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, that have insignificant related fair values.

All eligible dealer contracts are cleared through CME. In accordance with its rulebook, CME legally characterizes variation margin payments as settlement of derivatives rather than collateral against derivative positions. The Company has elected to record non-cleared derivative positions subject to a legally enforceable master netting agreement on a net basis. In addition, cash collateral received or posted is offset; however, securities collateral is not offset. At September 30, 2019, $13.3 million of cash collateral received is included in cash and due from banks on the consolidated balance sheet and is considered restricted in nature.

For purchased options designated as cash flow hedges time value is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Premiums related to time value are amortized to net interest income on a straight-line basis. During 2019, premiums of $13.5 million were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness which had a remaining unamortized balance of $12.9 million at September 30, 2019.

Amounts for the change in fair value of derivatives qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting treatment are recorded to AOCL and reclassified to interest income as hedged interest payments are received or to interest expense as hedged interest payments are made. Over the next twelve months, an estimated $4.4 million reduction to interest expense will be reclassified from AOCL. Gains or losses on hedge termination are also recorded to AOCL and subsequently amortized into interest expense over the respective terms of the hedged debt instruments. Over the next twelve months, an estimated $2.7 million increase to interest expense will be reclassified from AOCL. At September 30, 2019, the remaining unamortized loss on terminated cash flow hedges is $5.8 million. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is 10 years years.

Additional information about cash flow hedge activity impacting AOCL and the related amounts reclassified to interest expense is provided in Note 10: Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net of Tax. Information about the valuation methods used to measure the fair value of derivatives is provided in Note 14: Fair Value Measurements.

Derivative Exposure

The Company had approximately $160.4 million in net margin posted with financial counterparties or the derivative clearing organization at September 30, 2019, which is primarily comprised of $57.8 million in initial margin collateral posted at CME and $113.5 million in CME variation margin posted.

Webster regularly evaluates the credit risk of its derivative customers, taking into account the likelihood of default, net exposures, and remaining contractual life, among other related factors. Credit risk exposure is mitigated as transactions with customers are generally secured by the same collateral of the underlying transactions being hedged. Current net credit exposure relating to interest rate derivatives with Webster Bank customers was $180.5 million at September 30, 2019. In addition, the Company monitors potential future exposure, representing its best estimate of exposure to remaining contractual maturity. The potential future exposure relating to interest rate derivatives with Webster Bank customers totaled $36.5 million at September 30, 2019.

Note 14: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available. In such instances, fair values are determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Various assumptions and observable inputs must be relied upon in applying these techniques. Accordingly, categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As such, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate transfer of the respective asset or liability.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings or any part of a particular financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These factors are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:


•	Level 1: Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2: Fair value is calculated using significant inputs other than quoted market prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. The valuation may rely on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit ratings,) or inputs that are derived principally or corroborated by market data, by correlation, or other means.


•	Level 3: Inputs for determining the fair value of the respective assets or liabilities are not observable. Level 3 valuations are reliant upon pricing models and techniques that require significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Available-for-Sale Investment Securities. When quoted prices are available in an active market, the Company classifies available-for-sale investment securities within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. U.S. Treasury Bills are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service's results and has an established process to challenge their valuations, or methodologies, that appear unusual or unexpected. Available-for-Sale investment securities which include Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CMBS, CLO, and corporate debt, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments. Foreign exchange contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

All other derivative instruments are valued using third-party valuation software, which considers the present value of cash flows discounted using observable forward rate assumptions. The resulting fair value is validated against valuations performed by independent third parties and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Webster evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties to determine if any fair value adjustment related to credit risk may be required, by considering factors such as the likelihood of default by the counterparty, its net exposure, remaining contractual life, as well as the collateral securing the position. The change in value of derivative assets and liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during the reported periods.

Webster reviews its counterparty exposure on a regular basis. When necessary, appropriate business actions are taken to mitigate the exposure. In accordance with its rulebook, CME legally characterizes variation margin payments for over-the-counter derivatives as settlement rather than collateral against derivative positions. This impacts Webster's counterparty relationship with CME, resulting in the fair value of the instrument including cash collateral to be represented as a single unit of account.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives. Forward sales of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are utilized by the Company in its efforts to manage risk of loss associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to closing and funding certain single-family residential mortgage loans, an interest rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During the period from commitment date to closing date, the Company is subject to the risk that market rates of interest may change. If market rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans resulting in a reduction in the gain on sale of the loans or, possibly, a loss. In an effort to mitigate such risk, forward delivery sales commitments are established, under which the Company agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors or issue mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of mortgage banking derivatives is determined based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market and, therefore, classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Originated Loans Held For Sale. Residential mortgage loans typically are classified as held for sale upon origination based on management's intent to sell such loans. The Company generally records residential mortgage loans held for sale under the fair value option of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 825 "Financial Instruments." Electing to measure originated loans held for sale at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better matches changes in the value of these assets with changes in the value of the derivatives used as an economic hedge on these assets. The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions. Accordingly, such loans are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table compares the fair value to unpaid principal balance of assets accounted for under the fair value option:



	At September 30, 2019						At December 31, 2018
(In thousands)	Fair Value		Unpaid Principal Balance		Difference		Fair Value		Unpaid Principal Balance		Difference
Originated loans held for sale	$	27,061	$	26,696	$	365	$	7,908	$	8,227	$	(319	)

Investments Held in Rabbi Trust. Investments held in the Rabbi Trust primarily include mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. Shares of mutual funds are valued based on net asset value, which represents quoted market prices for the underlying shares held in the mutual funds. Therefore, investments held in the Rabbi Trust are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Webster has elected to measure the investments held in the Rabbi Trust at fair value. The cost basis of the investments held in the Rabbi Trust is $1.7 million at September 30, 2019.

Alternative Investments. Equity investments have a readily determinable fair value when quoted prices are available in an active market. Accordingly, such alternative investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity investments that do not have a readily available fair value may qualify for net asset value (NAV) measurement based on specific requirements. The Company's alternative investments accounted for at NAV consist of investments in non-public entities that generally cannot be redeemed since the Company’s investments are distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. Alternative investments recorded at NAV are not classified within the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2019, these alternative investments had a remaining unfunded commitment of $25.0 million, with the increase from prior periods due to one new investment.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. At September 30, 2019, no significant assets classified within Level 3 were identified and measured under this basis. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Alternative Investments. The measurement alternative has been elected for alternative investments without readily determinable fair values that do not qualify for the NAV practical expedient. The measurement alternative requires investments to be accounted for at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. These alternative investments are investments in non-public entities that generally cannot be redeemed since the investment is distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. Accordingly, these alternative investments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount of these alternative investments was $6.9 million at September 30, 2019. No reduction for impairments, or adjustments due to observable price changes, was identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Transferred Loans Held For Sale. Certain loans are transferred to loans held for sale once a decision has been made to sell such loans. These loans are accounted for at the lower of cost or market and are considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost. This activity primarily consists of commercial loans with observable inputs and is classified within Level 2. On the occasion that these loans should include adjustments for changes in loan characteristics using unobservable inputs, the loans would be classified within Level 3.

Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans and Leases. Impaired loans and leases for which repayment is expected to be provided solely by the value of the underlying collateral are considered collateral dependent and are valued based on the estimated fair value of such collateral using customized discounting criteria. As such, collateral dependent impaired loans and leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. The total book value of other real estate owned (OREO) and repossessed assets was $4.0 million at September 30, 2019. OREO and repossessed assets are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value and are considered to be recognized at fair value when recorded below cost. The fair value of OREO is based on independent appraisals or internal valuation methods, less estimated selling costs. The valuation may consider available pricing guides, auction results, and price opinions. Certain assets require assumptions about factors that are not observable in an active market in the determination of fair value; as such, OREO and repossessed assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Servicing Assets

The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, as well as servicing assets. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for those assets and liabilities.

Cash, Due from Banks, and Interest-bearing Deposits. The carrying amount of cash, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits is used to approximate fair value, given the short time frame to maturity and, as such, these assets do not present unanticipated credit concerns. Cash, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service's results and has an established process to challenge their valuations, or methodologies, that appear unusual or unexpected. Held-to-Maturity investment securities, which include Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CMBS, and municipal bonds and notes, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans and Leases, net. The estimated fair value of loans and leases held for investment is calculated using a discounted cash flow method, using future prepayments and market interest rates inclusive of an illiquidity premium for comparable loans and leases. The associated cash flows are adjusted for credit and other potential losses. Fair value for impaired loans and leases is estimated using the net present value of the expected cash flows. Loans and leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Deposit Liabilities. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Deposit liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Time Deposits. The fair value of a fixed-maturity certificate of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Time deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Borrowings. The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings that mature within 90 days is the carrying value. Fair value for all other balances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current market rates adjusted for associated credit risks, as appropriate. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Long-Term Debt. The fair value of FHLB advances and long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow technique. Discount rates are matched with the time period of the expected cash flow and are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect credit risk. FHLB advances and long-term debt are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage Servicing Assets. Mortgage servicing assets are accounted for at cost and subsequently measured under the amortization method. Mortgage servicing assets are subject to impairment testing and considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost. Amortization and impairment charges, if any, are included as a component of other non-interest income in the consolidated income statement. Fair value is calculated as the present value of estimated future net servicing income and relies on market based assumptions for loan prepayment speeds, servicing costs, discount rates, and other economic factors; as such, the primary risk inherent in valuing mortgage servicing assets is the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the servicing revenue stream. Mortgage servicing assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair values of selected financial instruments and servicing assets are as follows:

Note 16: Segment Reporting

Description of Segment Reporting Methodology

Webster uses an internal profitability reporting system to generate information by operating segment, which is based on a series of management estimates for funds transfer pricing, and allocations for provision for loan and lease losses, non-interest expense, income taxes, and equity capital. These estimates and allocations, certain of which are subjective in nature, are periodically reviewed and refined. Changes in estimates and allocations that affect the reported results of any operating segment do not affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Webster as a whole. The full profitability measurement reports, which are prepared for each operating segment, reflect non-GAAP reporting methodologies. The differences between full profitability and GAAP results are reconciled in the Corporate and Reconciling category.

Webster allocates interest income and interest expense to each business, while any mismatch associated with the matched maturity funding concept called Funds Transfer Pricing is absorbed in corporate treasury activities. The allocation process considers the specific interest rate risk and liquidity risk of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities in each line of business. The matched maturity funding concept considers the origination date and the earlier of the maturity date or the repricing date of a financial instrument to assign an FTP rate for loans and deposits originated each day. Loans are assigned an FTP rate for funds used and deposits are assigned an FTP rate for funds provided.

Webster allocates the provision for loan and lease losses to each segment based on management’s estimate of the inherent loss content in each of the specific loan and lease portfolios. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, Webster refined and improved the precision of this allocation approach. Prior period provision for loan and lease losses amounts were revised accordingly. Allowance for loan and lease losses are included within the Corporate and Reconciling category’s total assets.

Webster allocates a majority of non-interest expense to each reportable segment using a full-absorption costing process. Costs, including corporate overhead, are analyzed, pooled by process, and assigned to the appropriate reportable segment.

The following table presents total assets for Webster's reportable segments and the Corporate and Reconciling category:

The major types of revenue streams that are within the scope of ASC 606 are described below:

Deposit service fees, predominately consist of fees earned from deposit accounts and interchange fees. Fees earned from deposit accounts relate to event-driven services and periodic account maintenance activities. Webster's obligations for event-driven services are satisfied at the time the service is delivered, while the obligations for maintenance services is satisfied monthly. Interchange fees are assessed as the performance obligation is satisfied, which is at the point in time the card transaction is authorized.

Wealth and investment services, consists of fees earned from investment and securities-related services, trust and other related services. Obligations for wealth and investment services are generally satisfied over time through a time-based measurement of progress, while certain obligations may be satisfied at points in time for activities that are transactional in nature.

These disaggregated amounts are reconciled to non-interest income as presented in Note 16: Segment Reporting. Contracts with customers did not generate significant contract assets and liabilities.

Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies

Credit-Related Financial Instruments

The Company offers credit-related financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet certain financing needs of its customers, that involve off-balance sheet risk. These transactions may include an unused commitment to extend credit, standby letter of credit, or commercial letter of credit. Such transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk.

Commitments to Extend Credit. The Company makes commitments under various terms to lend funds to customers at a future point in time. These commitments include revolving credit arrangements, term loan commitments, and short-term borrowing agreements. Most of these loans have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses where a fee may be required. Since commitments routinely expire without being funded, or after required availability of collateral occurs, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.

Standby Letter of Credit. A standby letter of credit commits the Company to make payments on behalf of customers if certain specified future events occur. The Company has recourse against the customer for any amount required to be paid to a third party under a standby letter of credit, which is often part of a larger credit agreement under which security is provided. Historically, a large percentage of standby letters of credit expire without being funded. The contractual amount of a standby letter of credit represents the maximum amount of potential future payments the Company could be required to make, and is the Company's maximum credit risk.

Commercial Letter of Credit. A commercial letter of credit is issued to facilitate either domestic or foreign trade arrangements for customers. As a general rule, drafts are committed to be drawn when the goods underlying the transaction are in transit. Similar to a standby letter of credit, a commercial letter of credit is often secured by an underlying security agreement including the assets or inventory to which they relate.

The following table summarizes the outstanding amounts of credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk:



(In thousands)	At September 30 2019		At December 31, 2018
Commitments to extend credit	$	5,894,781	$	5,840,585
Standby letter of credit	194,430		189,040
Commercial letter of credit	21,609		21,181
Total credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk	$	6,110,820	$	6,050,806

These commitments subject the Company to potential exposure in excess of the amounts recorded in the financial statements, and therefore, management maintains a specific reserve for unfunded credit commitments. This reserve is reported as a component of accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

The following table provides a summary of activity in the reserve for unfunded credit commitments:

The non-GAAP financial measures identified in the preceding table provide investors with information useful in understanding the Company's financial performance, performance trends and financial position. These measures are used by management for internal planning and forecasting purposes, as well as by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare peer company operating performance. Management believes that the presentation, together with the accompanying reconciliations provides a complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's business and allows investors to view its performance in a similar manner. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these measures with other companies that present measures having the same or similar names.

Financial Performance Summary

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, net income of $93.9 million decreased $5.8 million, or 6%, from the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to a decrease in discrete tax benefits as the prior year period included $8.5 million in discrete tax benefits from tax planning initiatives. The effective income tax rate was 21.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 12.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by loan growth. Non-interest income decreased from lower syndication fees during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net interest income, coupled with the decrease in non-interest income and a modest increase in non-interest expense resulted in a non-GAAP efficiency ratio of 56.6%.

Earnings applicable to common shareholders of $91.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.00 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to earnings applicable to common shareholders of $97.5 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.06 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net income of $292.3 million increased $30.7 million, or 12%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to strong performance across all businesses driven by increased net interest margin and stable credit quality. The effective income tax rate was 21.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 17.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in net interest margin, coupled with increased non-interest income and a modest increase in non-interest expense resulted in a non-GAAP efficiency ratio of 56.2%.

Earnings applicable to common shareholders of $284.9 million and diluted earnings per share was $3.10 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to earnings applicable to common shareholders of $255.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $2.77 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by the level of interest rates, mix of assets earning and liabilities bearing those interest rates, and the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These factors are influenced by changes in economic conditions that impact interest rate policy, competitive conditions that impact loan and deposit pricing strategies, as well as the extent of interest lost to non-performing assets.

Table of Contents

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets, such as loans and investments, and interest expense on liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. Net interest income is the Company's largest source of revenue, representing 77.1% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Net interest margin is the ratio of tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets for the period.

Webster manages the risk of changes in interest rates on net interest income and net interest margin through ALCO and through related interest rate risk monitoring and management policies. ALCO meets at least monthly to make decisions on the investment securities and funding portfolios based on the economic outlook, its interest rate expectations, the portfolio risk position, and other factors.

Four main tools are used for managing interest rate risk:


•	the size, duration and credit risk of the investment portfolio;


•	the size and duration of the wholesale funding portfolio;


•	interest rate contracts; and


•	the pricing and structure of loans and deposits.

The federal funds rate target range was 1.25-1.50% at December 31, 2017 compared to 2.25-2.50% at December 31, 2018 and 1.75-2.00% at September 30, 2019. See the "Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk" section for further discussion of Webster’s interest rate risk position.

Net Interest Income

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Net interest income totaled $240.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $230.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $10.2 million.

Net interest margin decreased 12 basis points to 3.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 3.61% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. On a fully tax-equivalent basis, net interest income increased $10.4 million when compared to the same period in 2018. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily the result of strong loan growth and increased yields, partially offset by an increase in the level of borrowings and in the cost of deposits other than health savings account deposits.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

Net interest income totaled $723.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $669.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $54.3 million.

Net interest margin increased 8 basis points to 3.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 3.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On a fully tax-equivalent basis, net interest income increased $54.9 million when compared to the same period in 2018. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily the result of strong loan growth and increased yields, partially offset by an increase in the cost of deposits other than health savings account deposits.

Table of Contents

Average loans and leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $1.1 billion compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The loan and lease portfolio comprised 71.0% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2019 compared to 70.9% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2018. The loan and lease portfolio yield increased 32 basis points to 4.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the loan and lease portfolio yield of 4.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in the yield on the average loan and lease portfolio is primarily due to the impact of variable-rate loans resetting higher and growth in commercial loans with higher yields.

Average securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $408.1 million compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The securities portfolio comprised 28.9% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2019 compared to 29.0% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2018. The securities portfolio yield increased 7 basis points to 3.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the securities portfolio yield of 2.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in yield on the securities portfolio is primarily due to increased yield on variable-rate securities.

Average total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $1.2 billion compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is due to growth in health savings accounts and time deposits which was slightly offset by lower balances from other interest-bearing deposits. The average cost of deposits increased 18 basis points to 0.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 0.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The average cost of deposits increased due to selected deposit product rate increases and a change in mix into certificate of deposit accounts. Higher cost time deposits increased to 17.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 15.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as a percentage of total interest-bearing deposits.

Average total borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $106.0 million compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Average securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings increased $94.7 million, while average FHLB advances decreased $204.1 million. The Company completed an underwritten public offering of $300 million senior fixed-rate notes on March 25, 2019, which resulted in an increase of $215.5 million in average long-term debt. See "Sources of Funds and Liquidity" section for further discussion of the notes issued. The average cost of borrowings increased 35 basis points to 2.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 2.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in the average cost of borrowings was largely a result of changes in the federal funds rate and the senior notes.

Cash flow hedges, including outstanding hedges and terminated forward starting hedges, impacted the average cost of funding as follows:

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The provision for loan and lease losses was $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which increased $0.8 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. This level of provision for loan and lease losses is primarily due to loan growth, mix, and stable asset quality.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

The provision for loan and lease losses was $31.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which decreased $0.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This level of provision for loan and lease losses is primarily due to loan growth, mix, and stable asset quality.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Total non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $69.9 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 3.3%, compared to $72.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower loan and lease related fees and other income, partially offset by higher deposit service fees and mortgage banking activities.

Loan and lease related fees totaled $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is due to lower syndication fees in the current period.

Other income totaled $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower client interest rate hedging activities and related income and a write-down in one equity method investment.

Deposit service fees totaled $41.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $40.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was a result of higher checking account service charges and check card interchange fees attributable to health savings account growth.

Mortgage banking activities totaled $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by increased originations for sale and lock volume.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

Total non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $214.4 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 2.4%, compared to $209.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to higher deposit service fees and other income, partially offset by lower loan and lease related fees.

Deposit service fees totaled $127.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $121.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was a result of higher checking account service charges and check card interchange fees attributable to health savings account growth.

Other income totaled $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $24.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to gains from bank owned life insurance offset by a write-down in one equity method investment.

Loan and lease related fees totaled $22.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $24.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was due to lower syndication fees exceeding modest increases in most other loan and lease related fee types.

The decrease is due to the FDIC temporary surcharge ending during the fourth quarter of 2018 and a $2.8 million charge in 2018 related to additional FDIC premiums.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

Total non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $536.2 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 1.0%, compared to $530.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to higher compensation and benefits, technology and equipment, professional and outside services, and other expense somewhat offset by lower occupancy and deposit insurance.

Compensation and benefits totaled $294.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $284.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was due to additional hires, annual merit increases, and other benefit costs.

Technology and equipment totaled $77.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $73.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was due to higher service contracts to support strategic infrastructure projects.

Professional and outside services totaled $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to increased consulting fees for strategic projects.

Other expense totaled $75.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $68.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a write-down of premises and equipment as well as legal settlements and sales costs.

Occupancy totaled $42.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $45.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was due to branch optimization costs in 2018.

Deposit insurance totaled $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $30.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is due to the FDIC temporary surcharge ending during the fourth quarter of 2018 and a $10.0 million charge in 2018 related to additional FDIC premiums.

Income Taxes

Webster recognized income tax expense of $25.4 million and $78.0 million, reflecting effective tax rates of 21.3% and 21.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $13.7 million and $54.5 million, reflecting effective tax rates of 12.1% and 17.2%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

The increases in both tax expense and the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 principally reflect the recognition of $8.5 million of tax planning benefits during the 2018 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, the increase in tax expense reflects the higher level of pre-tax income during the 2019 period and the $8.5 million of tax planning benefits recognized during the 2018 period, while the increase in the effective tax rate principally reflects the tax planning benefits previously described.

The Company recognized $1.7 million and $6.2 million of net tax benefits specific to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $12.6 million and $17.1 million specific to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The decreases in net tax benefits specific to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 reflect the $8.5 million of tax planning benefits recognized during 2018 and reductions in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

For additional information on Webster's income taxes, including deferred tax assets, see Note 8: Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Segment Reporting

Webster’s operations are organized into three reportable segments that represent its primary businesses - Commercial Banking, HSA Bank, and Community Banking. These three segments reflect how executive management responsibilities are assigned, the type of customer served, how products and services are provided, and how discrete financial information is currently evaluated. Certain corporate treasury activities of the Company, along with the amounts required to reconcile profitability metrics to amounts reported in accordance with GAAP, are included in the Corporate and Reconciling category. See Note 16: Segment Reporting in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for a reconciliation of segment information to amounts reported in accordance with GAAP and for a description of segment reporting methodology.

Commercial Banking is comprised of Commercial Banking and Private Banking operating segments.

Commercial Banking provides commercial and industrial lending and leasing, commercial real estate lending, and treasury and payment solutions. Specifically, Webster Bank deploys lending through middle market, commercial real estate, equipment financing, asset-based lending and specialty lending units. These groups utilize a relationship approach model throughout its footprint when providing lending, deposit, and cash management services to middle market companies. In addition, Commercial Banking serves as a referral source to the other lines of business.

Private Banking provides asset management, financial planning services, trust services, loan products, and deposit products for high net worth clients, not-for-profit organizations, and business clients. These client relationships generate fee revenue on assets under management or administration, while a majority of the relationships also include lending and/or deposit accounts which generates net interest income and other ancillary fees.

HSA Bank offers comprehensive consumer directed healthcare solutions that include, health savings accounts, health reimbursement accounts, flexible spending accounts, and other financial solutions. Health savings accounts are used in conjunction with high deductible health plans in order to facilitate tax advantages for account holders with respect to health care spending and savings, in accordance with applicable laws. Health savings accounts are offered through employers for the benefit of their employees or directly to individual consumers and are distributed nationwide directly as well as through national and regional insurance carriers, benefit consultants and financial advisors.

HSA Bank deposits provide long duration low-cost funding that is used to minimize the Company’s use of wholesale funding in support of the Company’s loan growth. In addition, non-interest revenue is generated predominantly through service fees and interchange income.

Community Banking is comprised of Personal Banking and Business Banking operating segments.

Through a distribution network, consisting of 157 banking centers and 309 ATMs, a customer care center, and a full range of web and mobile-based banking services, it serves consumer and business customers primarily throughout southern New England and into Westchester County, New York.

Personal Banking offers consumer deposit and fee-based services, residential mortgages, home equity lines/loans, unsecured consumer loans, and credit card products. In addition, investment and securities-related services, including brokerage and investment advice are offered through a strategic partnership with LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (LPL), a broker dealer registered with the SEC, a registered investment advisor under federal and applicable state laws, a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Webster Bank has employees located throughout its banking center network, who, through LPL, are registered representatives.

Business Banking offers credit, deposit, and cash flow management products to businesses and professional service firms with annual revenues of up to $25 million. This group builds broad customer relationships through business bankers and business certified banking center managers, supported by a team of customer care center bankers and industry and product specialists.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue decreased $5.3 million, or 16.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Net interest income decreased $2.5 million, primarily due to declining interest rates on loans coupled with an increase in deposit costs; which more than offset balance growth in the loan and deposit portfolios. Non-interest income increased $1.3 million, primarily due to increased mortgage banking activities. Non-interest expense increased $4.1 million, driven by increased employee related costs, investments in technology and compliance, and a write-down of premises and equipment in connection with business optimization activities.

The provision for loan and lease losses allocation increased by $1.5 million in large part due to loan growth.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased $0.2 million, or 0.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Net interest income increased $0.7 million, primarily due to growth in loan and deposit balances which offset the impact of declining interest rates on loans and increased deposit costs. Non-interest income increased $2.8 million, due to overall growth in loan servicing and deposit related fees, fees from interest rate hedging activities, as well as gains from SBA loan and asset sales. Non-interest expense increased $3.3 million, driven by increased employee related costs, investments in technology and compliance, and a write-down of premises and equipment in connection with business optimization strategies; partially offset by lower occupancy related expenses.

The provision for loan and lease losses allocation increased by $2.0 million in large part due to loan growth.

Loans increased $402.1 million at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. The increase in loan balances is primarily driven by a $242.2 million purchase of residential loans during the first quarter of 2019. Strong residential originations were partially offset by continuing paydowns in home equity portfolios.

Loan originations in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $1.5 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. The $487.4 million increase was driven by a $411.5 million increase in residential mortgage originations.

Deposits increased $605.5 million at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 due to growth in all deposit categories, particularly time deposits, which are influenced by higher market interest rates.

•	total deposits, $23.3 billion at September 30, 2019 increased $1.4 billion compared to total deposits of $21.9 billion at December 31, 2018, the result of a 7.3% increase in interest bearing deposits, primarily due to growth in health savings accounts and time deposits.

At September 30, 2019, total shareholders' equity of $3.2 billion increased $265.9 million compared to total shareholders' equity of $2.9 billion at December 31, 2018. Changes in shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 include:

Investment Securities

Webster Bank's investment securities are managed within regulatory guidelines and corporate policy, which include limitations on aspects such as concentrations in and type of investments as well as minimum risk ratings per type of security. The OCC may establish additional individual limits on a certain type of investment if the concentration in such investment presents a safety and soundness concern. In addition to Webster Bank, the Holding Company also may directly hold investment securities from time-to-time. At September 30, 2019, the Company had no holdings in obligations of individual states, counties, or municipalities which exceeded 10% of consolidated shareholders’ equity.

Webster maintains, through its Corporate Treasury function, investment securities that are primarily used to provide a source of liquidity for operating needs, to generate interest income, and as a means to manage interest-rate risk. Investment securities are classified into two major categories, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. Available-for-sale currently consists of U.S Treasury Bills, Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CMBS, CLO, and corporate debt. Held-to-maturity currently consists of Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, municipal bonds and notes and CMBS.

The carrying value of investment securities totaled $8.2 billion at September 30, 2019 and $7.2 billion at December 31, 2018.

Available-for-sale investment securities increased by $61.4 million, primarily due to purchase activity for Agency MBS and, to a lesser extent, CMBS, offset by principal paydowns. The tax-equivalent yield in the portfolio was 2.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2.86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Held-to-maturity investment securities increased by $868.1 million, primarily due to additional purchase activity for Agency MBS and Agency CMBS related to the Company's balance sheet repositioning strategy. The tax-equivalent yield in the portfolio was 3.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The Company held $2.4 billion in investment securities that are in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2019. Approximately $0.5 billion of this total has been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months, while the remainder, $1.9 billion, has been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer.

The Company held $6.2 billion in investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2018. Approximately $1.2 billion of this total had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months, while the remainder, $5.0 billion, had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer.

These investment securities were evaluated by management and were determined not to be other than temporarily impaired, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company does not have the intent to sell these investment securities, and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell these securities before the recovery of their cost basis. To the extent that credit movements and other related factors influence the fair value of its investments, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for OTTI in future periods. The total unrealized loss was $26.8 million at September 30, 2019.

The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rate decreased to 1.68% at September 30, 2019 from 2.69% at December 31, 2018.

Equipment financing loans and leases were $517.7 million at September 30, 2019, a increase of $13.3 million from December 31, 2018. The net increase is a result of originations of $160.3 million was partially offset by amortization and higher prepayments.

Total residential loans were $4.8 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $458.7 million from December 31, 2018. The net increase is a result of a $242.2 million purchase of residential loans, net of discount, during the first quarter of 2019.

Total consumer loans were $2.3 billion at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $127.2 million from December 31, 2018. The net decrease is primarily due to continued net principal paydowns within the home equity lines and auto loan portfolios exceeding originations.

Asset Quality

Management maintains asset quality within established risk tolerance levels through its underwriting standards, servicing, and portfolio management of loans and leases. Loans and leases, particularly where a heightened risk of loss has been identified, are regularly monitored to mitigate further deterioration which could potentially impact key measures of asset quality in future periods. Past due loans and leases, non-performing assets, and credit loss levels are considered to be key measures of asset quality.

The following table provides key asset quality ratios:

Potential Problem Loans and Leases

Potential problem loans and leases are defined by management as certain loans and leases that; for commercial, commercial real estate, and equipment financing are performing loans and leases are classified as Substandard and have a well-defined weakness that could jeopardize the full repayment of the debt; and for residential and consumer are performing loans 60-89 days past due and accruing.

Potential problem loans and leases exclude past due 90 days or more and accruing, non-accrual, and TDR classifications.

Management monitors potential problem loans and leases due to a higher degree of risk associated them. The current expectation of probable losses is included in the ALLL, however management cannot predict whether these potential problem loans and leases ultimately will become non-performing or result in a loss. The Company had potential problem loans and leases of $220.0 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $226.9 million at December 31, 2018.

Impaired Loans and Leases

Loans and leases are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impairment is evaluated on a pooled basis for smaller-balance homogeneous residential, consumer loans and small business loans. Commercial, commercial real estate, and equipment financing loans and leases over a specific dollar amount and all TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment.

At September 30, 2019, there were 1,422 impaired loans and leases with a recorded investment balance of $270.6 million, which included loans and leases of $123.5 million with an impairment allowance of $20.4 million. This compares to 1,501 impaired loans and leases with a recorded investment balance of $259.3 million, which included loans and leases of $93.1 million, with an impairment allowance of $15.4 million at December 31, 2018. For additional information, see Note 4: Loans and Leases in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A modified loan is considered a TDR when two conditions are met: (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties; and (ii) the modification constitutes a concession. Modified terms are dependent upon the financial position and needs of the individual borrower. The Company considers all aspects of the restructuring in determining whether a concession has been granted, including the debtor's ability to access market rate funds. In general, a concession exists when the modified terms of the loan are more attractive to the borrower than standard market terms. Common modifications include material changes in covenants, pricing, and forbearance. Loans for which the borrower has been discharged under Chapter 7 bankruptcy are considered collateral dependent TDRs and thus, impaired at the date of discharge and charged down to the fair value of collateral less cost to sell.

The Company’s policy is to place consumer loan TDRs, except those that were performing prior to TDR status, on non-accrual status for a minimum period of six months. Commercial TDRs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis for determination of accrual status. Loans qualify for return to accrual status once they have demonstrated performance with the restructured terms of the loan agreement for a minimum of six months. Initially, all TDRs are reported as impaired. Generally, a TDR is classified as an impaired loan and reported as a TDR for the remaining life of the loan. Impaired and TDR classification may be removed if the borrower demonstrates compliance with the modified terms for a minimum of six months and through one fiscal year-end, and the restructuring agreement specifies a market rate of interest equal to that which would be provided to a borrower with similar credit at the time of restructuring. In the limited circumstance that a loan is removed from TDR classification, it is the Company’s policy to continue to base its measure of loan impairment on the contractual terms specified by the loan agreement.

The following tables provide information for TDRs:

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodology

The ALLL policy is considered a critical accounting policy. Executive management reviews and advises on the adequacy of the ALLL reserve, which is maintained at a level deemed sufficient by management to cover probable losses inherent within the loan and lease portfolios.

The quarterly process for estimating probable losses is based on predictive models, to measure the current risk profile of loan portfolio and combines other quantitative and qualitative factors together with the impairment reserve to determine the overall reserve requirement. Management's judgment and assumptions influence loss estimates and ALLL balances. Quantitative and qualitative factors that management considers include factors such as the nature and volume of portfolio growth, national and regional economic conditions and trends, other internal performance metrics, and how each of these factors is expected to impact near term loss trends. While actual future conditions and realized losses may vary significantly from assumptions, management believes the ALLL is adequate at September 30, 2019.

The Company’s methodology for assessing an appropriate level of the ALLL includes three key elements:

•

Impaired loans and leases are either analyzed on an individual or pooled basis and assessed for specific reserves measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan or lease, except that as a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on a loan or lease's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan or lease is collateral dependent. A loan or lease is collateral dependent if the repayment of the loan or lease is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. The Company considers the pertinent facts and circumstances for each impaired loan or lease when selecting the appropriate method to measure impairment and evaluates, on a quarterly basis, each selection to ensure its continued appropriateness.

•

Loans and leases that are not considered impaired and have similar risk characteristics, are segmented into homogeneous pools and modeled using quantitative methods. The Company's loss estimate for its commercial portfolios utilizes an expected loss methodology that is based on PD and LGD models. The PD and LGD models are based on borrower and facility risk ratings assigned to each loan and are updated throughout the year as a borrower's financial condition changes. PD and LGD models are derived using the Company's portfolio specific historic data and are refreshed annually. Residential and consumer portfolio loss estimates are based on roll rate models that utilize the Company's historic delinquency and default data. For each segmentation the loss estimates incorporate a loss emergence period (LEP) model which represents an amount of time between when a loss event first occurs to when it is charged-off. An LEP is determined for each loan type based on the Company's historical experience and is reassessed at least annually.


•	The Company also considers qualitative factors, consistent with interagency regulatory guidance, that are not explicitly factored in the quantitative models but that can have an incremental or regressive impact on losses incurred in the current loan and lease portfolio.

Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate and service its debt. Underwriting standards are designed to focus on and support the promotion of relationships rather than transactional banking. Once it is determined that the borrower’s management possesses sound ethics and solid business acumen, the Company examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay obligations as agreed. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Management regularly monitors the cash flows of borrowers as results may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed and may incorporate personal guarantees of the principals.

Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those specific to real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan, the market in which the property is located, and the tenants of the property securing the loan. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location, which reduces the Company's exposure to adverse economic events that may affect a particular market. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The Company also utilizes third-party experts to provide insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends affecting its commercial real estate loan portfolio.

Commercial construction loans have unique risk characteristics and are provided to experienced developers/sponsors with strong track records of successful completion and sound financial condition and are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisals, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Commercial construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. Estimates may be subject to change as the construction project proceeds. In addition, these loans often include partial or full completion guarantees. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property, or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. Management closely monitors these loans with on-site inspections by third-party professionals and the Company's internal staff.

Table of Contents

Policies and procedures are in place to manage consumer loan risk and are developed and modified, as needed. Policies and procedures, coupled with relatively small loan amounts, and predominately collateralized structures spread across many individual borrowers, minimize risk. Trend and outlook reports are reviewed by management on a regular basis. Underwriting factors for mortgage and home equity loans include the borrower’s FICO score, the loan amount relative to property value, and the borrower’s debt to income level and are also influenced by regulatory requirements. Additionally, Webster Bank originates both qualified mortgage and non-qualified mortgage loans as defined by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rules.

At September 30, 2019 the ALLL was $209.2 million compared to $212.4 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease of $3.2 million in the reserve at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 is primarily due to stable asset quality. The ALLL reserve remains adequate to cover inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolios. ALLL as a percentage of loans and leases, also known as the reserve coverage, decreased to 1.07% at September 30, 2019 from 1.15% at December 31, 2018, reflecting an updated assessment of inherent losses and impaired reserves. ALLL as a percentage of non-performing loans and leases decreased to 128.55% at September 30, 2019 from 137.22% at December 31, 2018.

Sources of Funds and Liquidity

Sources of Funds. The primary source of Webster Bank’s cash flow for use in lending and meeting its general operational needs is deposits. Operating activities, such as loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments, and other investment securities sale proceeds and maturities, also provide cash flow. While scheduled loan and securities repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, loan and securities prepayments and deposit inflows are influenced by prevailing interest rates and local economic conditions and are inherently uncertain. Additional sources of funds are provided by FHLB advances or other borrowings.

Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock. Webster Bank is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of eleven district Federal Home Loan Banks, each subject to the supervision and regulation of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. An activity-based capital stock investment in the FHLB of Boston is required in order for Webster Bank to access advances and other extensions of credit for sources of funds and liquidity purposes. The FHLB capital stock investment is restricted in that there is no market for it, and it can only be redeemed by the FHLB. Webster Bank held $66.3 million of FHLB capital stock at September 30, 2019 compared to $98.6 million at December 31, 2018, for its membership and for outstanding advances and other extensions of credit. On August 2, 2019, the FHLB paid a cash dividend equal to an annual yield of 6.04%.

Additionally, Webster Bank is required to hold FRB of Boston stock equal to 6% of its capital and surplus of which 50% is paid. The remaining 50% is subject to call when deemed necessary by the Federal Reserve System. The FRB capital stock investment is restricted in that there is no market for it, and it can only be redeemed by the FRB. At both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Webster Bank held $50.7 million of FRB capital stock. On June 28, 2019, the FRB paid a semi-annual cash dividend equal to an annual yield of 2.065%.

Deposits. Webster Bank offers a wide variety of deposit products for checking and savings (including: ATM and debit card use, direct deposit, ACH payments, combined statements, mobile banking services, internet-based banking, bank by mail, as well as overdraft protection via line of credit or transfer from another deposit account) designed to meet the transactional, savings, and investment needs for both consumer and business customers throughout its primary market area. Webster Bank manages the flow of funds in its deposit accounts and provides a variety of accounts and rates consistent with FDIC regulations. Webster Bank’s Retail Pricing Committee and its Commercial and Institutional Loan and Liability Pricing Committee meet regularly to determine pricing and marketing initiatives.

Total deposits were $23.3 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to $21.9 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase is predominately related to an increase in health savings accounts of $547.6 million and time deposits of $59.0 million. See Note 7: Deposits in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for additional information.

Borrowings. Borrowings primarily consist of FHLB advances which are utilized as a source of funding for liquidity and interest rate risk management purposes. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, FHLB advances totaled $1.4 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. Webster Bank had additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB of approximately $3.4 billion and $2.6 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Webster Bank also had additional borrowing capacity at the FRB of approximately $0.9 billion and $0.6 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, whereby securities are delivered to counterparties under an agreement to repurchase the securities at a fixed price in the future, to a lesser extent, are also utilized as a source of funding. Unpledged investment securities of $5.1 billion at September 30, 2019 could have been used for collateral on borrowings such as repurchase agreements or, alternatively, to increase borrowing capacity by approximately $4.8 billion at the FHLB or approximately $4.9 billion at the FRB. In addition, Webster Bank may utilize term and overnight Fed funds to meet short-term liquidity needs. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, these borrowings totaled $1.2 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively.

Long-term debt consists of senior fixed-rate notes maturing in 2024 and 2029, and junior subordinated notes maturing in 2033 totaled $0.5 billion and $0.2 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company completed an underwritten public offering of $300 million senior fixed-rate notes on March 25, 2019, of which it invested the net proceeds of $296.4 million in Webster Bank, as permanent capital, to be used for working capital needs or other general purposes. The notes carry a 4.10% coupon rate and mature on March 25, 2029. At issuance, the fixed interest rate on a $150 million portion of the notes was swapped to a variable rate and designated in a fair value hedging relationship. During April 2019, the Company initiated a fair value hedging relationship for the remaining $150 million portion of the notes. As a result, the weighted-average interest rate was 3.62% at September 30, 2019.

Total borrowed funds were $3.2 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to $2.6 billion at December 31, 2018. Borrowings represented 10.5% and 9.5% of total assets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase is due to loan and securities growth exceeding deposit growth. For additional information, see Note 8: Borrowings in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

Liquidity. Webster meets its cash flow requirements at an efficient cost under various operating environments through proactive liquidity management at both the Holding Company and Webster Bank. Liquidity comes from a variety of cash flow sources such as operating activities, including principal and interest payments on loans and securities, or financing activities, including unpledged investment securities, which can be sold or utilized to secure funding, and new deposits. Webster is committed to maintaining a strong, increasing base of core deposits, consisting of demand, checking, savings, health savings, and money market accounts, to support growth in its loan and lease portfolio. Liquidity is reviewed and managed in order to maintain stable, cost effective funding to promote overall balance sheet strength. Net cash provided by operating activities was $132.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $496.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The most significant impact was due to derivatives activity.

Holding Company Liquidity. The primary source of liquidity at the Holding Company is dividends from Webster Bank. Webster Bank paid $170 million in dividends to the Holding Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. To a lesser extent, public offerings, investment income, and net proceeds from investment sales may provide additional liquidity. The main uses of liquidity are the payment of principal and interest to holders of senior notes and junior subordinated debt, the payment of dividends to preferred and common shareholders, repurchases of its common stock, and purchases of investment securities. There are certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by Webster Bank to the Holding Company, which are described in the section captioned "Supervision and Regulation" in Item 1 of Webster’s 2018 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2019, $398.6 million of retained earnings are available for the payment of dividends by Webster Bank to the Holding Company.

The Company has a common stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, with $78.7 million of remaining repurchase authority at September 30, 2019. In addition, Webster periodically acquires common shares outside of the repurchase program related to stock compensation plan activity. The Company records the purchase of shares of common stock at cost based on the settlement date for these transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a total of 338,882 shares of common stock were repurchased for approximately $19.3 million, of which 227,199 shares were purchased under the common stock repurchase program at a cost of approximately $13.0 million, and 111,683 shares were purchased, at market prices, for a cost of approximately $6.3 million, relating to stock compensation plan activity.

Webster Bank Liquidity. Webster Bank's primary source of funding is core deposits. The primary use of this funding is for loan funding. Including time deposits, Webster Bank had a loan to total deposit ratio of 84.0% and 84.5% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, as loan funding coupled with securities growth has exceeded deposit growth during 2019.

Webster Bank is required by OCC regulations to maintain liquidity sufficient to ensure safe and sound operations. Whether liquidity is adequate, as assessed by the OCC, depends on such factors as the overall asset/liability structure, market conditions, competition, and the nature of the institution’s deposit and loan customers. Webster Bank exceeded all regulatory liquidity requirements as of September 30, 2019. Webster Bank's latest OCC CRA rating was Outstanding. The Company has a detailed liquidity contingency plan designed to respond to liquidity concerns in a prompt and comprehensive manner. The plan is designed to provide early detection of potential problems and details specific actions required to address liquidity stress scenarios.

Applicable OCC regulations require Webster Bank, as a commercial bank, to satisfy certain minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements. As an OCC regulated commercial institution, it is also subject to a minimum tangible capital requirement. As of September 30, 2019, Webster Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital requirements and exceeded the FDIC requirements for a well-capitalized institution. See Note 11: Regulatory Matters in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for a further discussion of regulatory requirements applicable to the Holding Company and Webster Bank.

The liquidity position of the Company is continuously monitored, and adjustments are made to balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which, if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Webster engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in the financial statements or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. Such transactions are utilized in the normal course of business, for general corporate purposes or for customer financing needs. Corporate purpose transactions are structured to manage credit, interest rate, and liquidity risks, or to optimize capital. As part of the Company's balance sheet repositioning strategy to reduce asset sensitivity to declining interest rates, during 2019 floors with $1.0 billion notional value were executed at various strike levels. These floors are a hedge against variable rate commercial real estate loans indexed to 1 month LIBOR. Premiums are amortized over the life of the floors. Customer transactions are structured to manage their funding requirements or facilitate certain trade arrangements. These transactions give rise to, in varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. For additional information, see Note 2: Variable Interest Entities and Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk

An effective asset/liability management process must balance the risks and rewards from both short and long-term interest rate risks in determining management strategy and action. To facilitate and manage this process, interest rate sensitivity is monitored on an ongoing basis by the Company's ALCO.

The following table summarizes the estimated impact that gradual parallel changes in interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points might have on net interest income (NII) over a twelve month period, starting September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for each subsequent twelve month period as compared to NII assuming no change in interest rates:



NII	-200bp	-100bp	+100bp	+200bp
September 30, 2019	(9.8)%	(4.9)%	2.6%	4.8%
December 31, 2018	(10.9)%	(4.7)%	3.2%	5.9%

The following table summarizes the estimated impact that gradual parallel changes in interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points might have on pretax, pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) over a twelve month period, starting September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for each subsequent twelve month period as compared to PPNR assuming no change in interest rates:



PPNR	-200bp	-100bp	+100bp	+200bp
September 30, 2019	(15.0)%	(7.5)%	3.6%	6.5%
December 31, 2018	(18.3)%	(7.9)%	5.0%	9.2%

Interest rates are assumed to change up or down in a parallel fashion, and NII and PPNR results in each scenario are compared to a flat rate scenario as a base. The flat rate scenario holds the end of period yield curve constant over a twelve month forecast horizon. The flat rate scenario as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 assumed a Fed Funds rate of 2.00% and 2.50%, respectively. Asset sensitivity for both NII and PPNR was lower as of September 30, 2019 when compared to December 31, 2018. This lower asset sensitivity is primarily due to the reduction of both the short-term and long-term market rates since December 31, 2018 and the resulting impact of these rate changes plus repositioning the balance sheet by adding fixed-rate securities and buying interest rate floors.

Webster can also hold futures, options, and forward foreign currency contracts to minimize the price volatility of certain assets and liabilities. Changes in the market value of these positions are recognized in earnings.

The following table summarizes the estimated impact that yield curve twists or immediate non-parallel changes in interest rates might have on NII for the subsequent twelve month period starting September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:



	Short End of the Yield Curve				Long End of the Yield Curve
NII	-100bp	-50bp	+50bp	+100bp	-100bp	-50bp	+50bp	+100bp
September 30, 2019	(6.0)%	(2.9)%	1.1%	2.1%	(4.2)%	(2.0)%	1.6%	2.7%
December 31, 2018	(7.1)%	(3.3)%	1.7%	3.4%	(3.3)%	(1.6)%	1.3%	2.3%

The following table summarizes the estimated impact that immediate non-parallel changes in interest rates might have on PPNR for the subsequent twelve month period starting September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:



	Short End of the Yield Curve				Long End of the Yield Curve
PPNR	-100bp	-50bp	+50bp	+100bp	-100bp	-50bp	+50bp	+100bp
September 30, 2019	(9.0)%	(4.4)%	1.1%	2.3%	(6.6)%	(3.2)%	2.6%	4.5%
December 31, 2018	(11.6)%	(5.4)%	2.4%	4.8%	(5.6)%	(2.9)%	2.4%	4.2%

The non-parallel scenarios are modeled with the short end of the yield curve moving up or down 50 and 100 basis points, while the long end of the yield curve remains unchanged and vice versa. The short end of the yield curve is defined as terms of less than eighteen months, and the long end as terms of greater than eighteen months. The results above reflect the annualized impact of immediate rate changes.

Sensitivity to the short end of the yield curve for NII and PPNR decreased as of September 30, 2019 when compared to December 31, 2018 due primarily to the balance sheet repositioning strategy and an increase in balances of fixed-rate loans. NII and PPNR were more sensitive to changes in the long end of the yield curve as of September 30, 2019 when compared to December 31, 2018 due to increased forecast prepayment speeds resulting from decreases in the long end of the yield curve which shortens asset duration by increasing prepayments for MBS and residential mortgages.

The following table summarizes the estimated economic value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the projected change to economic values if interest rates instantaneously increase or decrease by 100 basis points:



(Dollars in thousands)	Book Value		Estimated Economic Value		Estimated Economic Value Change
					Estimated Economic Value Change
					-100 bp			+100 bp
September 30, 2019
Assets	$	29,895,100	$	29,477,823	$	611,342		$	(707,248	)
Liabilities	26,742,706		25,978,910		837,673			(709,241		)
Net	$	3,152,394	$	3,498,913	$	(226,331	)	$	1,993
Net change as % base net economic value					(6.5		)%	0.1		%

December 31, 2018
Assets	$	27,610,315	$	26,972,752	$	568,122		$	(677,864	)
Liabilities	24,723,800		23,119,466		719,658			(615,650		)
Net	$	2,886,515	$	3,853,286	$	(151,536	)	$	(62,214	)
Net change as % base net economic value					(3.9		)%	(1.6		)%

Changes in economic value can be best described using duration. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of financial instruments for small changes in interest rates. For fixed-rate instruments, it can also be thought of as the weighted-average expected time to receive future cash flows. For floating-rate instruments, it can be thought of as the weighted-average expected time until the next rate reset. The longer the duration, the greater the price sensitivity for given changes in interest rates. Floating-rate instruments may have durations as short as one day and, therefore, have very little price sensitivity due to changes in interest rates. Increases in interest rates typically reduce the value of fixed-rate assets as future discounted cash flows are worth less at higher discount rates. A liability's value decreases for the same reason in a rising rate environment. A reduction in value of a liability is a benefit to Webster.

Duration gap is the difference between the duration of assets and the duration of liabilities. A duration gap near zero implies that the balance sheet is matched and would exhibit no change in estimated economic value for a small change in interest rates. Webster's duration gap was negative 0.8 years at September 30, 2019 and negative 0.7 years at December 31, 2018. A negative duration gap implies that liabilities are longer than assets and, therefore, they have more price sensitivity than assets and will reset their interest rates slower than assets. Consequently, Webster's net estimated economic value would generally be expected to increase when interest rates rise as the benefit of the decreased value of liabilities would more than offset the decreased value of assets. The opposite would generally be expected to occur when interest rates fall. Earnings would also generally be expected to increase when interest rates rise and decrease when interest rates fall over the longer term absent the effects of new business booked in the future. As of September 30, 2019, long-term rates have fallen by over 100 basis points when compared to December 31, 2018. This lower starting point shortens asset duration by increasing residential loan and MBS prepayment speeds.

These estimates assume that management does not take any additional action to mitigate any positive or negative effects from changing interest rates. The earnings and economic values estimates are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ. Management believes that Webster's interest rate risk position at September 30, 2019 represents a reasonable level of risk given the current interest rate outlook. Management, as always, is prepared to take additional action in the event that interest rates do change rapidly.

For a detailed description of the Company's asset/liability management process, refer to the section captioned "Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk" in Item 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a banking institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on Webster's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Modifications to significant accounting policies, if made during the year, are described in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report. The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP and practices generally applicable to the financial services industry requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management has identified the Company's most critical accounting policies as:


•	allowance for loan and lease losses; and


•	realizability of deferred tax assets.

These particular accounting policies are considered most critical in that they are important to the Company’s financial condition and results, and they require management’s subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The accounting policies and estimates, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions used, are described throughout Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Webster's 2018 Form 10-K, and Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures for recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, were effective as of September 30, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, there were no changes made to the Company's internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Webster, or its subsidiaries, may be involved in certain routine legal proceedings and claims occurring, from time-to-time, in the ordinary course of business. These possible loss contingencies are evaluated based on information currently available, including advice of counsel and assessment of available insurance coverage. Webster establishes an accrual for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. This accrual is periodically reviewed and may be adjusted as circumstances change. Webster also estimates certain loss contingencies for possible litigation and claims, whether or not there is an accrued probable loss. Webster believes it has defenses to all the claims asserted against it in existing litigation matters and intends to defend itself in those matters.

Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, is not presently nor in the future anticipated to be material to Webster or its consolidated financial condition. However, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, with which unfavorable rulings could occur and, as such, there is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the amounts currently accrued by Webster or that the Company’s litigation accrual will not need to be adjusted in future periods. Such an outcome could be material to the Company’s operating results in a particular period, depending on, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that period.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Webster's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
