Highlight of Business Operations:

Total noninterest income increased $2.8 million, or 1%, from the prior quarter. This included an increase in other income of $15.1 million, or 33%, reflecting a $15.5 million gain on sale from the automobile securitization and a $2.8 million increase in market-related gains and capital markets income, which was partially offset by a $5.8 million decline in SBA servicing income. Service charges on deposit accounts and electronic banking income increased $4.5 million, or 7%, and $1.0 million, or 3%, respectively, primarily driven by new account growth. These benefits were partially offset by an $11.0 million decline in mortgage banking income, primarily driven by a negative $13.9 million linked quarter change in the net MSR valuation, the majority of which occurred over the last two weeks of the quarter.

Our emphasis on cross-sell, coupled with customers increasingly being attracted by the benefits offered through our Fair Play banking philosophy with programs such as 24-Hour Grace® on overdrafts and more recently the launch of Asterisk-Free Checking, are having a positive effect. The percent of consumer households with over four products at the end of the 2011 third quarter was 72.8%, up from 69.4% at the end of last year. For the first nine-month period of 2011, consumer checking account households grew at a 10.8% annualized rate, up from an annualized 6.8% in 2010. Total consumer checking account household revenue in the 2011 third quarter was $251.9 million, down $8.1 million, or 3%, from the 2011 second quarter. This was primarily driven by a decline in the FTP related net interest income on average deposits and lower average balances of core certificates of deposit. Total consumer checking account household revenue was up $12.3 million, or 5%, from the year-ago quarter.

By focusing on targeted relationships we are able to achieve higher product service distribution among our commercial relationships. Our expanded product offerings allow us to focus not only on the credit driven relationship, but leverage these relationships to generate a deeper share of wallet. The percent of commercial relationships with over four products at the end of the 2011 third quarter was 29.2%, up from 24.2% at the end of last year. For the first nine-month period of 2011, commercial relationships grew at a 8.6% annualized rate. Total commercial relationship revenue in the 2011 third quarter was $175.5 million, up $8.9 million, or 5%, from the 2011 second quarter, and $23.6 million, or 16%, higher than the year-ago quarter.
