State Street Announces Tangible Common Equity Improvement Plan and Updates 2008 Results

February 05, 2009

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT):

Unrealized Investment Portfolio Losses Improve by $730 Million After-Tax as of January 30, 2009, Compared to December 31, 2008

More Conservative First-Half Reinvestment Strategy Reduces 2009 Expectations

State Street Corporation today updated its full-year 2008 earnings to reflect the impact of a plan to further strengthen its tangible common equity ratio (TCE) in light of continued unprecedented market disruption. The 2008 results have been updated to reflect a $278 million pre-tax reduction in 2008 incentive compensation as part of a plan to improve TCE. In 2009, the plan to improve TCE includes reducing the Company's quarterly dividend on its common stock to $0.01 per share, a more conservative reinvestment plan affecting assets paying down and maturing in its investment portfolio, actions intended to increase organic capital growth, and a reduction in the size of the company's balance sheet.

For 2008, GAAP earnings per share of $4.30 are up from the previously announced $3.89 per share. Return on common shareholders' equity in 2008 is 14.8%, up from the previously announced 13.4%. For the fourth quarter of 2008, earnings are $0.54 per share, up from the previously announced $0.15 per share. Return on common shareholders' equity is 8.4% in the fourth quarter of 2008, up from the previously announced 2.3%. Operating expenses for full year and fourth quarter 2008, were $6.780 billion and $1.528 billion, respectively, down from the previously announced operating expenses for those periods of $7.058 billion and $1.806 billion, respectively. These expenses reflect the reduced compensation in each period. Revenue for the full year and fourth quarter 2008 of $10.693 billion and $2.673 billion, respectively, are unchanged from the amounts previously announced.

Commenting on the announcement, Ronald E. Logue, State Street's chairman and chief executive officer, said, "State Street has among the highest regulatory capital ratios in the industry; however, we are implementing a plan to alleviate investor concerns about our pro forma TCE ratio, if we were to consolidate the asset-backed commercial paper conduits that we administer. These are extraordinary times that require swift action. Given that we are asking our shareholders to make sacrifices through dividend reductions, we believe that we must also be willing to make our own sacrifices and therefore, we have eliminated the 2008 incentive compensation for the five named executive officers and reduced it by approximately 50% for the remainder of the company."

Logue added, "While our tangible common equity ratio will vary with the impact of the fixed-income markets on our investment portfolio and the conduit assets and our actual results, we currently anticipate that the steps we are announcing will result in a meaningful increase in our tangible common equity ratio during the first quarter and the full year. As of January 30, 2009, our unrealized after-tax loss on our investment portfolio has improved $730 million, from $6.3 billion at December 31, 2008 to $5.6 billion. Also, the unrealized loss in our conduit assets has improved modestly."

Logue concluded, "We are adjusting our outlook for 2009 based on several new factors: a more conservative reinvestment plan affecting assets paying down and maturing in our investment portfolio; we now expect the S & P 500 to average about 900 for the year down from our previous estimate of 1000; and we intend to further restrain expenses in 2009. As a result, we now expect our operating revenue to decline 8% to 12% from record levels in 2008; our operating earnings per share to decline 12% to 16% from the updated record level of $5.61 per share in 2008; and our return on common equity to approach the low end of our 14% to 17% long-term range. At our meeting with investors and analysts later today, we will provide further detail about our TCE improvement plan and our 2009 outlook."

Management presents results on an operating basis in order to provide financial information that is comparable from period to period and to present comparable financial trends with respect to our ongoing business operations. A full reconciliation of operating-basis results to U.S. generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP) is included in the addendum at the end of this press release. The following financial results are presented on an operating basis, and are updated from our previously announced operating results to reflect the effects of the reduced compensation in the full year and fourth quarter 2008 and to otherwise reflect the same adjustments between GAAP and operating, as were previously announced.

For 2008, updated operating-basis earnings per share of $5.61 are up from the previously announced $5.21 per share. Operating-basis return on common shareholders' equity is 19.3%, up from the previously announced 17.9%. In the fourth quarter of 2008, operating-basis earnings are $1.58 per share, up from the previously announced $1.18 per share. Operating-basis return on common shareholders' equity in the fourth quarter of 2008 is 24.3%, up from the previously announced 18.3%. As noted above, these results reflect the reduced salaries and employee benefits expense in each period. Operating-basis revenue for the full year and fourth quarter 2008 of $10.477 billion and $2.641 billion, respectively, are unchanged from the amounts previously announced.

The reduction in expenses results in an increase to State Street Corporation's Tier-1 capital ratio to 20.74% at December 31, 2008 from the previously announced 20.49% and an increase to the leverage ratio to 7.83% from the previously announced 7.74%. The TCE ratio at December 31, 2008, is 4.61%. The pro forma TCE ratio, including consolidation of all assets and liabilities of the State Street-administered asset-backed commercial paper conduits, was 1.19% as of December 31, 2008. Assuming market prices remain constant from January through the rest of 2009 and we execute on our plan, we expect TCE to be approximately 4.91% by the end of 2009.

All per share amounts represent diluted earnings per common share based on average common shares outstanding for the respective period reported.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This news announcement contains forward-looking statements as defined by United States securities laws, including statements about our goals and expectations regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and strategies, the financial and market outlook, governmental and regulatory initiatives and developments and the business environment. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, are inherently uncertain, are based on current assumptions that are difficult to predict and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed in those statements, and those statements should not be relied upon as representing our expectations or beliefs as of any date subsequent to the date of this release.

Important factors that may affect future results and outcomes include:

    --  global financial market disruptions and the current, worldwide economic
        recession, and monetary and other governmental actions designed to
        address such disruptions and recession in the United States and
        internationally;
    --  the financial strength of the counterparties with which we or our
        clients do business and with which we have investment or financial
        exposure;
    --  the liquidity of the U.S. and international securities markets,
        particularly the markets for fixed-income securities, and the liquidity
        requirements of our customers;
    --  the credit quality and credit agency ratings of the securities in our
        investment securities portfolio, a deterioration or downgrade of which
        could lead to other-than-temporary impairment of the respective
        securities and the recognition of an impairment loss;
    --  the maintenance of credit agency ratings for our debt obligations as
        well as the level of credibility of credit agency ratings;
    --  the possibility that changes to accounting rules or in market conditions
        or asset performance may require any off-balance sheet activities,
        including the unconsolidated asset-backed commercial paper conduits we
        administer, to be consolidated into our financial statements, requiring
        the recognition of associated losses;
    --  the possibility of our customers incurring substantial losses in
        investment pools where we act as agent, and the possibility of further
        general reductions in the valuation of assets;
    --  our ability to attract deposits and other low-cost short-term funding;
    --  potential changes to the competitive environment, including changes due
        to the effects of consolidation, extensive and changing government
        regulation and perceptions of State Street as a suitable service
        provider or counterparty;
    --  the level and volatility of interest rates and the performance and
        volatility of securities, credit, currency and other markets in the
        United States and internationally;
    --  our ability to measure the fair value of securities in our investment
        securities portfolio and in the asset-backed commercial paper conduits
        we sponsor;
    --  the results of litigation and similar disputes and, in particular, the
        effect of current or potential litigation concerning SSgA's active
        fixed-income strategies, and the enactment of legislation and changes in
        regulation and enforcement that impact us and our customers, as well as
        the effects of legal and regulatory proceedings;
    --  adverse publicity or other reputational harm;
    --  our ability to pursue acquisitions, strategic alliances and divestures,
        finance future business acquisitions and obtain regulatory approvals and
        consents for acquisitions;
    --  the performance and demand for the products and services we offer,
        including the level and timing of withdrawals from our collective
        investment products;
    --  our ability to continue to grow revenue, attract highly skilled people,
        control expenses and attract the capital necessary to achieve our
        business goals and comply with regulatory requirements;
    --  our ability to control operating risks, information technology systems
        risks and outsourcing risks, the possibility of errors in the
        quantitative models we use to manage our business and the possibility
        that our controls will fail or be circumvented;
    --  the potential for new products and services to impose additional costs
        on us and expose us to increased operational risk, and our ability to
        protect our intellectual property rights;
    --  our ability to obtain quality and timely services from third parties
        with which we contract;
    --  changes in accounting standards and practices, including changes in the
        interpretation of existing standards, that impact our consolidated
        financial statements; and
    --  changes in tax legislation and in the interpretation of existing tax
        laws by U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities that impact the amount of
        taxes due.

Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by any forward-looking statements are set forth in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent SEC filings, including, in particular, our Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 20, 2009. We encourage investors to read these filings, particularly the sections on Risk Factors, and our subsequent SEC filings for additional information with respect to any forward-looking statements and prior to making any investment decision. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date hereof, February 5, 2009, and we do not undertake efforts to revise those forward-looking statements to reflect events after this date.
