7:00 AM ET 1/24/12 | BusinessWire
Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE: SNV) today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
Fourth Quarter Results
-- Net income available to common shareholders was $12.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $15.7 million in the third quarter of 2011 and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $180.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
-- Diluted net income per common share for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $0.014 compared to diluted net income per common share of $0.017 for the third quarter of 2011, and a net loss per common share of $0.229 for the fourth quarter of 2010.
-- The fourth quarter of 2011 results include net investment securities gains of $10.3 million (compared to $62.9 million for the third quarter of 2011) as well as a $5.9 million charge related to Synovus' indemnification obligation as a member of the Visa USA network.
"We are pleased to report a profit for the second consecutive quarter," said Kessel D. Stelling, Chairman and CEO of Synovus. "Our performance during the quarter was driven primarily by the continued improving trends in credit metrics and the resulting reduction of credit costs. Additionally, we are encouraged that the positive momentum in the loan pipeline, along with reductions in charge-offs and loan sales, contributed to the stabilization of loan balances as compared to the over $400 million decline in the previous quarter. We continue to gain positive traction for long-term, sustained profitability and growth."

These forward-looking statements include, among others, our expectations on credit trends, deposits and our loan portfolio; expectations on growth; statements regarding our continued sustainable profitability in future periods; and the assumptions underlying our expectations. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Synovus to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the information known to, and current beliefs and expectations of, Synovus' management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The measures entitled core deposits, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, pre-tax, pre-credit costs income, core expenses, non-interest income excluding net investment securities gains (losses), and net sequential quarter loan growth (decline) are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures are total deposits, total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, income (loss) before income taxes, and total non-interest expense, total non-interest income, and sequential quarter total loan growth (decline), respectively.
Synovus believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Synovus to assist management and investors in evaluating Synovus' capital strength and the performance of its core business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for total deposits, total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, income (loss) before income taxes, or total non-interest expense, total non-interest income, or sequential quarter total loan growth (decline) determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies.
The computations of core deposits, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, pre-tax, pre-credit costs income, and core expenses, non-interest income excluding net investment gains (losses), and net sequential quarter loan growth (decline) and the reconciliation of these measures to total deposits, total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, income (loss) before income taxes, and total non-interest expense, total non-interest income, and sequential quarter total loan growth (decline) are set forth in the tables below.

Synovus Reports Profit for Fourth Quarter of 2011
7:00 AM ET 1/24/12 | BusinessWire
Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE: SNV) today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
Fourth Quarter Results
-- Net income available to common shareholders was $12.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $15.7 million in the third quarter of 2011 and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $180.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
-- Diluted net income per common share for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $0.014 compared to diluted net income per common share of $0.017 for the third quarter of 2011, and a net loss per common share of $0.229 for the fourth quarter of 2010.
-- The fourth quarter of 2011 results include net investment securities gains of $10.3 million (compared to $62.9 million for the third quarter of 2011) as well as a $5.9 million charge related to Synovus' indemnification obligation as a member of the Visa USA network.
"We are pleased to report a profit for the second consecutive quarter," said Kessel D. Stelling, Chairman and CEO of Synovus. "Our performance during the quarter was driven primarily by the continued improving trends in credit metrics and the resulting reduction of credit costs. Additionally, we are encouraged that the positive momentum in the loan pipeline, along with reductions in charge-offs and loan sales, contributed to the stabilization of loan balances as compared to the over $400 million decline in the previous quarter. We continue to gain positive traction for long-term, sustained profitability and growth."
Credit Trends
-- Total credit costs declined for the tenth consecutive quarter to $90.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, down 36.5% from the third quarter of 2011 and down 67.9% from the fourth quarter of 2010.
-- Net charge-offs were $113.5 million in the quarter, down 18.0% from $138.3 million in the third quarter of 2011, and down 70.5% from $385.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

-- Potential problem commercial loans (consisting of substandard accruing loans but excluding loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest and substandard accruing troubled debt restructurings which are reported separately) declined for the fifth consecutive quarter to $779.6 million, a 17.2% decline from the third quarter of 2011, and a 58.3% decrease from the peak of $1.87 billion in the third quarter of 2010.

-- On a sequential quarter basis, total loans declined $22.3 million, compared to $402.7 million decrease in the previous quarter.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and certain of our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through Synovus' use of words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "may," "will," "assumes," "should," "predicts," "could," "would," "intends," "targets," "estimates," "projects," "plans," "potential" and other similar words and expressions of the future or otherwise regarding the outlook for Synovus' future business and financial performance and/or the performance of the commercial banking industry and economy in general. These forward-looking statements include, among others, our expectations on credit trends, deposits and our loan portfolio; expectations on growth; statements regarding our continued sustainable profitability in future periods; and the assumptions underlying our expectations. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Synovus to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the information known to, and current beliefs and expectations of, Synovus' management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this report. Many of these factors are beyond Synovus' ability to control or predict.
These forward-looking statements are based upon information presently known to Synovus' management and are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to change due to any number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risks and other factors set forth in Synovus' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010 under the captions "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" and in Synovus' quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date that they are made. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise may be required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The measures entitled core deposits, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, pre-tax, pre-credit costs income, core expenses, non-interest income excluding net investment securities gains (losses), and net sequential quarter loan growth (decline) are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures are total deposits, total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, income (loss) before income taxes, and total non-interest expense, total non-interest income, and sequential quarter total loan growth (decline), respectively.
Synovus believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Synovus to assist management and investors in evaluating Synovus' capital strength and the performance of its core business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for total deposits, total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, income (loss) before income taxes, or total non-interest expense, total non-interest income, or sequential quarter total loan growth (decline) determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies.
The computations of core deposits, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, pre-tax, pre-credit costs income, and core expenses, non-interest income excluding net investment gains (losses), and net sequential quarter loan growth (decline) and the reconciliation of these measures to total deposits, total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, income (loss) before income taxes, and total non-interest expense, total non-interest income, and sequential quarter total loan growth (decline) are set forth in the tables below.
