PHILADELPHIA, PA...Sovereign Bancorp, Inc. ("Sovereign") (NYSE: SOV), parent
company of Sovereign Bank ("Bank"), today reported for the first quarter 2006,
net income of $141 million, or $.38 per diluted share, as compared to $146
million, or $.38 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2005. Net income in
the first quarter of 2006 included charges related to proxy and related
professional fees of $9.3 million, after-tax, or $.02 per share; net income in
the first quarter of 2005 included merger and integration charges of $15.1
million, after-tax, or $.04 per share in addition to lease and contract
termination charges of $3.4 million, after-tax, or $.01 per share. Sovereign's
net income for the first quarter of 2006 produced annualized returns on average
assets and average tangible equity of .90% and 19.3%, respectively, as compared
to 1.03% and 21.1%, respectively, in the same period a year ago.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, Sovereign's operating/cash earnings per
diluted share were $.43, which excluded the above mentioned proxy and related
professional fee charges as well as $1.8 million of merger related and
integration cost reversals and $11.2 million, or $.03 per share, related to
amortization of intangible assets, as compared to $.46 per diluted share a year
ago, which excluded the above mentioned merger and integration charges and $12.3
million, or $.03 per share, related to amortization of intangible assets.
Operating/cash earnings for the first quarter of 2006 produced annualized
operating/cash return on average assets and average tangible equity of 1.05% and
22.7%, respectively, as compared to 1.29% and 26.5%, respectively, in the first
quarter of 2005. A reconciliation of net income to operating/cash earnings, as
well as the related earnings per share amounts, is included in a later section
of this release.
Commenting on results for the first quarter of 2006, Jay S. Sidhu, Sovereign's
Chairman and CEO, stated, "Due to the prolonged flatness to slight inversion in
the yield curve, the company is focused on stabilizing our net interest margin,
controlling expense growth and maximizing generation of capital. We are
disappointed that operating/cash EPS were lower than a year ago but are hopeful
this trend will change by the second half of 2006."
NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN
During the first quarter of 2006, Sovereign reclassified prepayment and late
fees from non-interest income to interest income as a result of a classification
change made by the Office of Thrift Supervision to include prepayment and late
fees in net interest margin rather than fee income on regulatory reports,
consistent with commercial bank call reports. Including this retroactive
reclass, Sovereign reported net interest income of $404 million for the first
quarter of 2006 as compared to $407 million in the first quarter of 2005.
Sovereign's average loan portfolio increased by $5.3 billion over last year and
$726 million on a linked quarter basis to $44.2 billion, reflecting an
annualized growth rate of 7%. Sovereign's average deposits increased $3.6
billion over last year and $572 million linked quarter to $38.4 billion,
reflecting an annualized growth rate of 6%.
Net interest margin was 3.00% for the first quarter of 2006 as compared to 3.01%
in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 3.34% in the first quarter of 2005. The
year-over-year compression in net interest margin is primarily as a result of
the prolonged flatness of the yield curve, which continues to challenge the
entire industry.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Consumer and commercial banking fees increased 10% from a year ago. Consumer
banking fees increased to $60.8 million, primarily driven by growth in loan fees
and investment service fees. Commercial banking fees increased by $8.7 million
to $39.0 million primarily driven by growth in loan fees and precious metal
revenues. Fee revenues on a linked quarter basis were impacted by seasonal
factors typically present in the first quarter of each year.
Mortgage banking revenues for the quarter were $13.0 million, compared to $26.5
million last quarter and $11.7 million in the same quarter a year ago. Mortgage
banking revenue in the fourth quarter of 2005 included sales of mortgage and
home equity loans of $22.7 million and a reversal of mortgage servicing right
impairment reserves of $3.9 million; the first quarter of 2005 included a
reversal of mortgage servicing right impairment of $4.0 million.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
G&A expenses for the quarter were $280 million, down on a linked quarter basis
by $1.8 million. "Expense control in this yield curve environment remains a top
priority," stated Mark R. McCollom, Sovereign's Chief Financial Officer. "Until
the yield curve environment changes, we will remain particularly focused on
expense control and only invest in areas where there is a compelling increase in
near term revenues."
ASSET QUALITY
Asset quality remained strong in the first quarter of 2006. Annualized net
charge-offs were .26% of average loans for the first quarter, compared to .21%
in the fourth quarter of 2005. Non-performing assets to total assets decreased
slightly from fourth quarter levels to .31%. Sovereign's provision for credit
losses was $29.0 million this quarter compared to $26.0 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005 and $22.0 million in the first quarter of 2005. The allowance
for credit losses to total loans decreased slightly to .97% at March 31, 2006,
as compared to 1.00% at December 31, 2005 and 1.09% at March 31, 2005. The
allowance for credit losses to non-performing loans now stands at 239%, as
compared to 231% at December 31, 2005 and 255% at March 31, 2005.
CAPITAL
Sovereign's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.74% at March 31, 2006. Tangible common
equity to tangible assets, excluding other comprehensive income ("OCI"), was
5.16% and including OCI was 4.81%. The equity to assets ratio was 9.07% at March
31, 2006. Sovereign Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.96% and the Bank's
risk-based capital ratio was 10.95% at March 31, 2006.
Based upon our April 17 stock price of $21.70, Sovereign is trading at a P/E of
11.9x analysts mean 2006 estimate. The book value per share at March 31, 2006
was $16.42.

Note:
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other
than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").
Sovereign's management uses the non-GAAP measure of Operating/Cash Earnings, and
the related per share amount, in their analysis of the company's performance.
This measure, as used by Sovereign, adjusts net income determined in accordance
with GAAP to exclude the effects of special items, including significant gains
or losses that are unusual in nature or are associated with acquiring and
integrating businesses, and certain non-cash charges. Operating/cash earnings
for 2005 and 2006 EPS purposes represent net income adjusted for the after-tax
effects of merger-related and integration charges, certain restructuring
charges, proxy and related professional fees and the amortization of intangible
assets. Since certain of these items and their impact on Sovereign's performance
are difficult to predict, management believes presentations of financial
measures excluding the impact of these items provide useful supplemental
information in evaluating the operating results of Sovereign's core businesses.
These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined
in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP
performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
This press release contains statements of Sovereign's strategies, plans, and
objectives, as well as estimates of financial condition, operating and cash
efficiencies and revenue generation. These statements and estimates constitute
forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which involve significant risks and
uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from the results discussed
in these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference
include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in
interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values and competition;
changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes in
legislation or regulation; Sovereign's ability in connection with any
acquisition to complete such acquisition and to successfully integrate assets,
liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel Sovereign acquires into
its operations and to realize expected cost savings and revenue enhancements
within expected time frame; the possibility that expected one time
merger-related charges are materially greater than forecasted or that final
purchase price allocations based on the fair value of acquired assets and
liabilities and related adjustments to yield and/or amortization of the acquired
assets and liabilities at any acquisition date are materially different from
those forecasted; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and
technological factors affecting the Company's operations, integrations, pricing,
products and services; and acts of God, including natural disasters.
Sovereign Bancorp is followed by several market analysts. Please note that any
opinions, estimates, forecasts, or predictions regarding Sovereign Bancorp's
performance or recommendations regarding Sovereign's securities made by these
analysts are theirs alone and do not represent opinions, estimates, forecasts,
predictions or recommendations of Sovereign Bancorp or its management. Sovereign
Bancorp does not by its reference to any analyst opinions, estimates, forecasts
