Management's Overview of Third Quarter 2012 Performance
Overall, we had a strong third quarter of 2012, which reflected the strength of
our clients and our business. We had net income available to common stockholders
of $42.3 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.94. In the third
quarter of 2012, compared to the third quarter of 2011, we experienced strong
growth in net interest income as a result of exceptional loan growth during the
quarter with record high average balances of $7.9 billion. Our total client
funds, which consists of on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client
investment funds, also increased reflecting growth from our existing clients and
the addition of new clients. In addition, overall credit quality remains strong,
and we saw continued growth in fee income and solid gains from our investment
securities portfolio. Additionally, our liquidity and capital ratios continued
to remain strong.
Third quarter 2012 results (compared to the third quarter 2011, where
applicable) included:
? Continued strong growth in our lending business with record high
average loan balances of $7.9 billion, an increase of $1.9 billion, or
31.6 percent.
? A provision for loan losses of $6.8 million, primarily attributable to
loan growth. Net charge-offs of $3.4 million (or 0.17 percent of
average total gross loans-annualized) for the third quarter of 2012
reflects the strong overall credit quality of our portfolio.
? Average deposit balances of $18.3 billion, an increase of $2.5 billion,
or 15.5 percent. Average total client funds
|
(including both average on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client
investment funds) were $39.2 billion, an increase of $5.5 billion, or 16.2
percent.
? Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent basis) of $154.9 million,
an increase of $19.0 million, primarily due to an increase in interest
income from loans mainly attributable to growth in average balances of
$1.9 billion. These increases were partially offset by lower yields
earned on our overall loan portfolio.
? Our net interest margin remained relatively flat at 3.12 percent,
compared to 3.13 percent. Our net interest margin was impacted by
decrease in the overall yield of our available-for-sale securities due
to increased premium amortization expense from increasing prepayment
rates on our mortgage-backed securities and a decrease in the yield of
our loan portfolio. The decrease in yields was largely offset by strong
growth in average loan balances, which has resulted in a favorable
change in our mix of interest-earning assets.
? Core fee income (deposit service charges, letters of credit fees,
credit card fees, client investment fees, and foreign exchange fees) of
$34.4 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 13.5 percent. This
increase reflects increased client activity and continued growth in our
business, primarily from credit card fees, client investments fees and
foreign exchange fees. See "Results of Operations-Noninterest Income"
for a description and reconciliation of core fee income.
? Gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, of
$7.5 million, compared to $9.3 million. See "Results of
Operations-Noninterest Income-Gains on Investment Securities, Net" for
further details and a reconciliation of gains on investment securities,
net of noncontrolling interests.
? Noninterest expense of $135.2 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or
6.1 percent. The increase was primarily due to increased premises and
equipment and professional services expenses to support continued
growth in our business and IT infrastructure initiatives. In addition,
average full-time equivalent employees ("FTEs") increased by 7.8
percent to 1,594 average FTEs, compared to 1,478 average FTEs, which
contributed to an increase in salaries and wages expense.
? Overall, our liquidity remained strong based on our period end
available-for-sale securities portfolio of $11.0 billion at
September 30, 2012. Our available-for-sale securities portfolio
continues to be a good source of liquidity as it is invested in high
quality investments and generates substantial monthly cash flows.
Additionally, our available-for-sale securities portfolio provides us
the ability to secure wholesale borrowings, if needed.

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Common Share We use and report non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share, which excludes gains from sales of certain available-for-sale securities and net gains from debt repurchases and termination of corresponding interest rate swaps, as well as gains from the sale of certain assets related to our equity management services business. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that do not occur every reporting period. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and related trends, and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or preferable to, financial measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying management's discussion and analysis of results of operations
and financial condition is based upon our unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The
preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. Management evaluates estimates and assumptions on an
ongoing basis. Management bases its estimates on historical experiences and
various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no significant changes during the nine months ended
September 30, 2012 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting
policies and estimates in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" under Part II, Item 7 of our 2011 Form
10-K.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income and Margin (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)
Net interest income is defined as the difference between interest earned on
loans, available-for-sale securities and short-term investment securities, and
interest paid on funding sources. Net interest income is our principal source of
revenue. Net interest margin is defined as the amount of annualized net interest
income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, expressed as a percentage of
average interest-earning assets. Net interest income and net interest margin are
presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis to consistently reflect income
from taxable loans and securities and tax-exempt securities based on the federal
statutory tax rate of 35.0 percent.
Analysis of Net Interest Income Changes Due to Volume and Rate (Fully Taxable
Equivalent Basis)
Net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as "volume
change." Net interest income is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, referred
to as "rate change." The following table sets forth changes in interest income
for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest expense for each
major category of interest-bearing liabilities. The table also reflects the
amount of simultaneous changes attributable to both volume and rate changes for
the years indicated. For this table, changes that are not solely due to either
volume or rate are allocated in proportion to the percentage changes in average
volume and average rate.
