& Ilsley Corporation (NYSE:MI) (M&I) today announced
several improving credit quality trends for the third quarter of
2009. Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2009 are expected to
decrease by approximately $170 million from June 30, 2009. This is
the first linked-quarter decline in nonperforming loans in four
years. It is expected that the ratio of nonperforming loans to
total loans will decline to approximately 4.9 percent at September
30, 2009. In addition, early stage loan delinquencies (those loans
delinquent 30-89 days) decreased by approximately $220 million or,
20 percent, from June 30, 2009 to September 30, 2009. "While we see
some continuation of improvement in credit quality, and read these
as hopeful signs of what's ahead, we will continue to manage the
business as though the recessionary effects in the economy will
remain for several more months," said Mark Furlong, president and
CEO of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation. "There simply are an
inadequate number of consistent trends to reinforce the sentiments
that the economy is stabilizing and better times are within sight."
M&I expects to record a special provision for loan and lease
losses for the third quarter of 2009 of approximately $185 million
for certain bank holding company loans (collectively, "bank holding
company loans"). This $185 million special provision is in addition
to the approximately $390 to $400 million provision for loan and
lease losses previously anticipated for the third quarter of 2009.
With these additions, M&I expects the total provision for loan
and lease losses for the third quarter of 2009 will be in the range
of approximately $575 to $585 million and expects net charge-offs
in the range of approximately $530 to $540 million. Estimated
charge-offs for the quarter include approximately $160 million
related to the bank holding company loans. M&I expects that the
allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans
and leases will increase from 2.8 percent at June 30, 2009 to
slightly over 3 percent at September 30, 2009. The special
provision for the bank holding company loans is due to a series of
recent events, including: 1) regulatory actions against certain of
these bank holding companies, 2) unanticipated difficulties and/or
delays in capital raising transactions by certain of these bank
holding companies, and 3) significant deterioration in the loan
portfolios of certain of these bank holding companies.
Approximately 75 percent of these loans were current as of
September 30, 2009. While M&I believes partial or full
recoveries on some or all of these bank holding company loans are
possible, management believes it is appropriate at this time to
charge-off these loans given the stress on these credits. In
addition, M&I has previously established a full reserve against
one other large troubled bank holding company credit. After 2009
third quarter charge-offs, M&I's total amount of outstanding
loans to bank holding companies was approximately $545 million. As
a result of these actions, M&I expects to report a 2009 third
quarter net loss in the range of $0.68 to $0.70 per common share.
After giving effect to expected third quarter results, M&I
expects to have a tangible capital ratio of approximately 7.0
percent at September 30, 2009, which remains among the highest in
the industry. M&I will report 2009 third quarter financial
results on October 22, 2009. Marshall & Ilsley Corporation will
