FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KEYCORP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 1996 EARNINGS
--------------------------------------------
* SECOND QUARTER EPS OF $0.92 VS. $0.83 A YEAR AGO, UP 11 PERCENT
* NET INTEREST MARGIN INCREASED BY 31 BASIS POINTS COMPARED TO YEAR-AGO QUARTER
* NONINTEREST INCOME UP 18 PERCENT OVER PRIOR YEAR
* ASSET QUALITY REMAINED STABLE THROUGHOUT THE QUARTER
CLEVELAND, July 18, 1996 -- KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) today reported earnings of
$217 million, or $0.92 per common share, for the 1996 second quarter. This
compares with earnings of $199 million, or $0.83 per common share, for the year-
ago quarter and $208 million, or $0.88 per common share, for the 1996 first
quarter.
Robert W. Gillespie, KeyCorp president and chief executive officer, said,
"Results for the second quarter were consistent with our expectations and
represented another quarter of improved core earnings. We continue to be
pleased with our overall financial performance, especially in light of the
significant strategic investments that have been made in our major lines of
business. The second quarter was positively impacted by a higher net interest
margin, stronger fee income, and stable asset quality."
Gillespie added: "We completed a major regionalization initiative during
the quarter as our banks in the three-state Great Lakes Region were combined to
form KeyBank National Association. This represents an important step in
positioning the company for interstate banking and allows us to leverage
KeyCorp's unique position as a nationwide financial services company."

K. Brent Somers, KeyCorp senior executive vice president and chief
financial officer, said, "Contributing to the favorable earnings trend in the
1996 second quarter were the continuing benefits of our balance sheet
management and expense control initiatives. Through the first six months of
1996, we repurchased 5 million shares of KeyCorp common stock and redeemed the
$160 million of Cumulative Preferred Stock on June 30, 1996. We were also
pleased with the continued improvement in KeyCorp's efficiency ratio, which was
60.50 percent in the 1996 second quarter, compared with 63.05 percent in the
year-ago quarter."
Net interest income for the 1996 second quarter totaled $682 million, up
$15 million, or 2 percent, from the year-ago quarter. This increase reflected
a 31 basis point improvement in the net interest margin to 4.80 percent, which
was partially offset by a planned reduction in average earning assets of $2.9
billion, or 5 percent. The net interest margin increase was attributable to
wider loan spreads, in part as a result of the securitization and sale of lower
spread assets, and the reinvestment of funds from maturing securities.
Excluding the impact of securitizations and sales, average loans increased $2.9
billion, or 7 percent, from the year-ago period and 7 percent, on an annualized
basis, from the prior quarter. Compared to the 1996 first quarter, net
interest income was up $13 million, or 2 percent, reflecting a 10 basis point
improvement in the net interest margin, which was partially offset by a planned
$342 million, or 1 percent, reduction in average earning assets.
Noninterest income for the 1996 second quarter totaled $264 million, up
$41 million, or 18 percent, from the year-ago quarter. The increase reflected
higher credit card fees (up 20 percent) and stronger insurance and brokerage
income (up 7 percent). Also favorably impacting noninterest income in the
second quarter were service charges on deposit accounts (up 3 percent), trust
and asset management income (up 3 percent), higher loan securitization income
and an $8 million gain from the previously announced sale of Society First
Federal Savings Bank in early June. Compared to the 1996 first quarter,
noninterest income was up $15 million, reflecting the gain from the sale of the
Florida savings bank, as well as stronger trust and asset management income and
higher credit card fees.

Noninterest expense for the 1996 second quarter totaled $579 million, up
$11 million, or 2 percent, from the year-ago quarter. The increase reflected
higher personnel expense and the impact of acquisitions completed since the
1995 first quarter, which more than offset the reduction in FDIC insurance
assessments. Compared to the 1996 first quarter, noninterest expense was up $9
million. This increase was primarily attributable to the impact of company-
wide merit increases which were effective in April.
Asset quality in the 1996 second quarter was relatively unchanged from
1996 first quarter performance. Nonperforming assets ended the second quarter
at $371 million, or 0.77 percent of loans plus other real estate owned and
other nonperforming assets, compared with $389 million, or 0.81 percent, for
the previous quarter. Net loan charge-offs for the 1996 second quarter
continued their gradual move toward more historic levels and totaled $46
million, or 0.38 percent of average loans, up slightly from $43 million, or
0.36 percent, in the 1996 first quarter. The provision for loan losses for the
1996 second quarter was $47 million, and exceeded the quarter's net loan charge-
offs. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of period-end loans remained
stable at 1.82 percent and the nonperforming loan coverage ratio improved from
257 percent at the end of the prior quarter to 267 percent at June 30, 1996.
At June 30, 1996, KeyCorp's assets totaled $64.8 billion and shareholders'
equity totaled $5.0 billion. The Tier 1 Capital ratio was estimated at 7.46
percent and the Total Capital ratio was estimated at 11.51 percent. All of
KeyCorp's banking affiliates continue to receive the FDIC's highest capital
classification.
