WILMINGTON TRUST CORPORATION By: /s/ David R. Gibson --------------------------------- Dated: October 16, 2004 Name: David R. Gibson, Title: Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (Authorized Officer and Principal Financial Officer) 3 EXHIBIT A WILMINGTON TRUST Wilmington Trust Corporation Rodney Square North 1100 North Market Street Wilmington, DE 19890-0001 News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WILMINGTON TRUST REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EPS OF $0.50 Wilmington, Del., October 22, 2004 - Wilmington Trust Corporation (NYSE: WL) today reported third quarter 2004 net income of $34.4 million, equal to the year-ago third quarter. Earnings per share for the 2004 third quarter were $0.50 on a diluted basis, opposite $0.52 for the same period last year. Results from the Regional Banking business were robust. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, was $74.0 million, which was 8.7% higher than for the year-ago third quarter. On average, total loan balances topped $6.5 billion, commercial loan balances rose 11.4%, and credit quality remained strong. Revenue from the Wealth Advisory business was $37.0 million, which was 4.2% higher than for the 2003 third quarter. Revenue from the Corporate Client businesses was $17.2 million, which was 4.9% more than for the year-ago third quarter. Expenses were $86.9 million, and reflected steps the company is taking to expand each of its businesses, improve system capabilities, and augment compliance and risk management functions. "I am pleased with the third quarter growth in our banking business and net interest income, and the ongoing strength of our credit quality," said Ted T. Cecala, Wilmington Trust chairman and chief executive officer. "Wealth Advisory revenue increased modestly because fees from transactional services were $1 million less than at this time last year. Growth also was modest in Corporate Client revenue, due to weak capital markets activity. Expenses rose due to additional investments and people in each of our businesses, the higher costs of new technologies, and compliance with increased regulatory requirements." 1 On a year-to-date basis, net income was $106.6 million, which was 10.6% higher than for the first nine months of 2003. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, were $1.57, which was an 8.3% increase. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, was 5.5% higher. Advisory revenue rose 16.2%, and total noninterest revenue rose 11.4%. Noninterest expenses were 8.9% higher. CASH DIVIDEND DECLARED Noting the 13.6% growth in stockholders' equity at period-end, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.285 per share. This was 5.5% more than the $0.27 per share declared in the year-ago third quarter. The quarterly dividend is payable on November 15, 2004, to stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. NET INTEREST MARGIN STABILIZES Higher net interest income and market interest rates contributed to improvement in the net interest margin, which was 3.51% for the 2004 third quarter. This was 6 basis points higher than the year-ago third quarter margin of 3.45%, and it marked the first year-over-year increase in the margin since the second quarter of 2002. On a linked-quarter basis, the margin was 1 basis point lower than the 2004 second quarter margin of 3.52%. Since June 30, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates three times for a total of 75 basis points, but only the first 25-basis-point increase was in place for the entire third quarter. Subsequent 25-basis-point increases became effective on August 10 and September 21. The company continues to be asset sensitive, as assets are repricing at a faster pace than liabilities. For the 2004 third quarter, loan balances represented 77.5% of the company's total earning assets, on average, and the investment portfolio accounted for 22.1%. 2 Investment portfolio balances for the 2004 second quarter, on average, were $1.87 billion, essentially unchanged from the prior-year and prior-quarter levels. On a percentage basis, the composition of the assets within the investment portfolio remained relatively unchanged. At September 30, 2004, the average life of the portfolio was 6.06 years, and the duration was 2.62. In comparison, at June 30, 2004, the average life was 6.67 years and the duration was 3.07. LOAN BALANCES RISE FOR 14TH CONSECUTIVE QUARTER Total loan balances, on average, reached $6.5 billion for the 2004 third quarter. Commercial loan balances rose to $4.31 billion, and accounted for more than 93% of the year-over-year growth in the total loan portfolio. Retail loan balances, on average, increased to $2.22 billion. This pace of growth was achieved even though residential mortgage balances, on average, fell by $133.7 million, or 23.3%, from the year-ago third quarter. Residential mortgage balances declined primarily because of the company's ongoing practice of selling new fixed-rate production into the secondary markets. Prepayments and refinancings also contributed to the decrease. The health of the Delaware Valley regional economy, which is broadly diversified, contributed to the growth in total loan balances. Unemployment rates and other economic indicators for Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania remained stronger than for other parts of the United States. The Delaware Valley is where the Regional Banking business is concentrated, and where commercial lending is targeted to family owned or closely held businesses with annual sales of up to $250 million. In the commercial loan portfolio, much of the growth was in traditional commercial and industrial (C and I) loans. Demand for C and I loans was dispersed throughout the Delaware Valley region, and came from building material suppliers, contractors, and 3 other clients. The rising costs of raw materials, such as steel, copper, and oil, prompted some manufacturing and distribution clients to increase their short-term borrowings. The growth in commercial mortgage and commercial real estate and construction balances reflected continued development in southern Delaware and the Ocean City, Maryland, area. Borrowings spanned a range of residential and retail projects. Within the retail portfolio, growth in consumer lending offset the declines in residential mortgage balances. Home equity loans and lines of credit and indirect auto lending accounted for much of the increase in consumer balances. Dealer-generated originations were 35% higher than for the year-ago third quarter. Targeted efforts to increase small business lending also contributed to the increases in consumer loan balances. Most retail loans and core deposits are associated with clients in the state of Delaware, which is where the company focuses its retail banking activities. Changes in non-core deposit balances reflect funding strategies the company employed to support loan growth. Loans secured with liquid collateral are associated primarily with Wealth Advisory clients. CREDIT QUALITY REMAINS STABLE The net charge-off ratio, which management considers the primary measure of credit quality, was 6 basis points, and continued to be in line with historic levels. The percentage of loans rated "pass" by the internal risk rating analysis was higher on both a year-ago and linked-quarter basis, and exceeded 96% for the second consecutive quarter. The level of nonaccruing loans increased mainly because of a single relationship with a Delaware Valley-based client who is in the dining and recreation business. During the 2004 third quarter, approximately $23 million associated with this relationship was transferred to nonaccruing status. 4 Changes in the reserve and provision for loan losses reflected loan growth and credit quality. The decline in the loan loss reserve ratio reflected the high percentage of pass-rated loans and the lower provision for loan losses, which was reduced due to the recovery of approximately $1.4 million on two previously charged-off loans. The composition of assets within the loan portfolio remained relatively unchanged, and the portfolio remained well diversified across commercial and consumer lines. NET INTEREST AND NONINTEREST REVENUE STREAMS EVENLY BALANCED Noninterest income for the 2004 third quarter totaled $69.4 million, and accounted for 49.4% of total net interest and noninterest income. The comparable percentages were 51.5% for the year-ago third quarter, and 50.4% for the 2004 second quarter. The changes in these percentages reflected the corresponding increases in net interest income. Approximately 80% of third quarter 2004 noninterest income was generated by the advisory businesses. This was also the case for the year-ago third quarter and the 2004 second quarter. The advisory businesses comprise Wealth Advisory Services (WAS), Corporate Client Services (CCS), and income from the company's investments in affiliate money managers Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn and Roxbury Capital Management. Higher income from the affiliate money managers was offset by a lower pace of growth in the WAS and CCS businesses. Other 2004 third quarter noninterest income included securities gains of $600,000, primarily from the sale of a single instrument. NEWER WEALTH ADVISORY MARKETS GAIN TRACTION Wealth Advisory Services (WAS) revenue for the 2004 third quarter was $37.0 million. This was 4.2% higher than for the year-ago third quarter, and slightly less than for the 5 2004 second quarter. Lower revenue from specialized planning services and money market mutual fund fees offset increased revenue from core trust and investment advisory services. WAS sales were higher year-over-year as well as on a linked-quarter basis. The California, Maryland, and New York markets generated the most sizeable percentage increases in sales. In Maryland and New York, the increases reflected how recent staff additions have helped the company gain more traction in these markets. The largest contributor to WAS results is revenue from trust and investment advisory services. Approximately 75% of trust and investment advisory revenue is based on equity market valuations. The remainder is associated with fixed income instruments. In the 2004 third quarter, trust and investment advisory revenue reflected the aforementioned sales momentum, and outpaced changes in the financial markets. At $27.4 million, revenue from these services was 10.0% higher than for the year-ago third quarter, and 1.9% more than for the 2004 second quarter. In comparison, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, and the NASDAQ Composite Index recorded single-digit increases for the comparable 52-week period. For the comparable 90-day period, all three indices declined. Revenue from planning and other services reflected the fluctuations inherent in this part of the business. It is not unusual for revenue from these services to change from period to period, depending on client demand at any point in time. These services are priced according to their complexity, and are not related to asset valuations. Approximately 95% of WAS-related mutual fund fees are tied to money market mutual funds, which means that equity market movements have little, if any, impact on their levels. 6 On October 1, 2004, the acquisition of Grant, Tani, Barash & Altman (GTBA) was completed. Revenue and expenses from GTBA, which is a Beverly Hills-based business management firm that serves high-net-worth clients, will be consolidated in WAS results and included in Wilmington Trust's financial statements beginning with the fourth quarter of 2004. The transaction is expected to be modestly accretive to Wilmington Trust's 2004 earnings. CORPORATE CLIENT REVENUE REFLECTS CAPITAL MARKETS ENVIRONMENT Corporate Client Services (CCS) revenue for the 2004 third quarter was $17.2 million, which was 4.9% higher than for the year-ago third quarter. Revenue from the entity management, retirement services, and cash management components of the CCS business was higher, but these increases were offset by a decline in revenue from the capital markets component. The capital markets component of the CCS business provides trust and administrative services for a variety of structured finance transactions. Changing market dynamics in various parts of the structured finance industry caused the decrease in capital markets revenue. Market demand for trust-preferred securities remained strong, and sales of services that support these issues were 17.1% higher than for the 2003 third quarter. Demand for services that support asset-backed securitizations also remained strong, and sales of these services were 19.1% higher than for the year-ago third quarter. The growth in sales related to asset-backed securitizations was offset by a decrease in associated recurring revenue, because more contracts are maturing in a shorter span of time than in the past. Prior to the downward turn in market interest rates that began 3 years ago, the duration of most contracts was 5 to 10 years. As interest rates fell, 7 investors sought durations of 2 to 5 years, which means that many of the contracts are now reaching maturity and ceasing to generate revenue. The market for cross-border and capital equipment leasings stagnated while investors awaited the outcome of proposed tax legislation. For the year-ago third quarter, sales of services that support leasing transactions were nearly $530,000. In comparison, for the current-year third quarter, these sales amounted to less than $300,000. The corporate tax bill that Congress approved on October 11 eliminated favorable tax treatments for certain leasing structures. In the entity management component of the CCS business, the higher results reflected a 50.0% increase in revenue from European-based services. This component performs administrative activities that support legal entities in preferred jurisdictions. Revenue from the retirement services component of the CCS business was higher mainly because sales of trustee services for defined contribution plans were nearly double the amount recorded for the year-ago third quarter. Most CCS services are provided on a fee-for-service basis, and priced according to complexity. For the 2004 third quarter, approximately 25% of total CCS revenue was tied to asset valuations, versus approximately 23% for the same period last year. Due to the seasonal nature of the CCS business, management regards year-over-year changes as more meaningful indicators of trends than linked-quarter comparisons. Linked-quarter data is contained in the financial statements that accompany this release. MANAGED ASSETS AT CRAMER ROSENTHAL MCGLYNN SURPASS PREVIOUS RECORD Assets under management at value-style affiliate money manager Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn (CRM) reached $5.8 billion, surpassing the record set at June 30, 2004, by 8 more than $300 million, or 6.7%. Managed assets were higher by $1.9 billion, or 46.8%, than at September 30, 2003. In comparison, as noted earlier, the three major equity market indices recorded declines for the comparable 52-week period. For the 2004 third quarter, income from Wilmington Trust's investment in CRM was nearly double the year-ago third quarter amount, and even with the 2004 second quarter. The increases in managed assets and income reflected market appreciation as well as CRM's ability to attract additional assets. PROFITABILITY CONTINUES AT ROXBURY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Roxbury Capital Management's (RCM) return to profitability continued to gain momentum. Income from Wilmington Trust's investment in the growth-style affiliate was $300,000 for the 2004 third quarter. In comparison, the company recorded a $100,000 loss from RCM for the year-ago third quarter. RCM's results reflected continued strident expense management and the popularity of its small- and mid-capitalization products, which generate higher fees than other investment products. Outflows from its core large-capitalization product caused overall assets under management to decline. EXPENSES REFLECT CONTINUED BUSINESS INVESTMENTS Noninterest expenses for the 2004 third quarter totaled $86.9 million. This was 15.6% more than for the year-ago third quarter, and 5.5% more than for the 2004 second quarter. The increase in expenses reflected a number of steps taken throughout 2004 to position the company for continued growth. 9 The largest expense increases were recorded in salaries and wages, which were $2.3 million higher than for the year-ago third quarter, and $1.4 million higher than for the 2004 second quarter. These increases resulted from staff additions that were made to strengthen each of the company's businesses and to comply with increasing regulatory requirements. On a full-time equivalent basis, there were 73 more staff members at September 30, 2004, than at the same time last year. The Regional Banking business has added commercial lending staff in Maryland and Pennsylvania, and opened a loan production office in Bel Air, Maryland. Bel Air is in Harford County, which is central to the growing area between Wilmington and Baltimore. In Delaware, retail banking staff have been added to develop new products and business strategies. The Wealth Advisory business has expanded its investment management team and added other staff in New York and Baltimore. The Corporate Client business has added sales and support staff in Europe and the United States. Throughout the company, additional staff have been hired to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and to enhance the risk management process. To a certain extent, the larger staff size accounted for increases in incentives and bonuses. In the 2004 third quarter, these expenses also reflected certain incentives that are earned semiannually. Higher pension expense and health insurance costs accounted for the rise in employment benefits costs. Most of the increase in furniture, equipment, and supplies expense was related to the new trust accounting system. The 2004 third quarter was the first quarter to reflect the full quarterly cost of the system, which was outsourced in May 2004. 10 Increases in servicing and consulting expense were associated with higher demand for Wealth Advisory investment consulting services, and reflected payments to third-party investment advisors. The increases also included approximately $444,000 for the third quarter and $719,000 year to date in costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Other noninterest expenses increased from the year-ago third quarter due to a combination of higher legal, audit, insurance, and courier costs. Higher banking and trust differences accounted for most of the linked-quarter increase. SHARE REPURCHASE ACTIVITY REFLECTS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The company bought back 122,854 of its shares during the 2004 third quarter, at an average price of $36.34. This brought the total number of shares repurchased under the current 8-million-share program, which commenced in April 2002, to 627,644. During the 2004 third quarter, Wilmington Trust reissued 1,106,625 shares of its stock. The size of the stock reissue reflected the completion of Wilmington Trust's acquisition of 100% of Balentine & Company. The original terms of the acquisition entitled certain Balentine principals to receive payments in the form of Wilmington Trust stock in 2005, 2006, and 2007. In June, the parties elected to accelerate the stock payments, and the transaction was completed on July 1, 2004. OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2004 Commenting on the outlook for the remainder of 2004, Cecala said: - "In our Regional Banking business, we expect loan growth in the 6% to 7% range, assuming no significant change in the Delaware Valley economy. - "The net interest margin should be between 3.50% and 3.54%, assuming no further interest rate changes. - "We are asset sensitive, and we will benefit from a rising interest rate environment. - "We expect credit quality to remain strong. 11 - "The provision for loan losses may rise from its third quarter level. - "As long as the financial markets remain unsettled, we expect year-over-year growth in Wealth Advisory Services revenue to mirror what we recorded for the third quarter. - "In our Corporate Client business, we do not expect to see the substantial third-to-fourth quarter increase in revenue that we have seen in the past, unless capital markets activity increases. If not, we expect fourth quarter revenue to be on a par with the third quarter amount. - "Expenses will continue to reflect the business investments that we have made and continue to make, and the higher costs of complying with more rigorous regulatory requirements. - "For the 2004 fourth quarter, we anticipate expenses of $87 million to $89 million. This includes a seasonal spike in advertising and contributions. - "The acquisition of Grant, Tani, Barash & Altman will raise revenue and expenses, and make a modest contribution to overall earnings." NEW DISCLOSURE ADDED A business segment report has been added to the financial statements that accompany this release. The new report summarizes the year-to-date revenue, expenses, and pre-tax profitability of the Regional Banking business, the Wealth Advisory Services business, the Corporate Client Services business, and the affiliate managers (CRM and RCM).
