First Financial Bancorp Announces First Quarter 2019 Results

CINCINNATI, April 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- First Financial Bancorp. (Nasdaq: FFBC) ("First Financial" or the "Company") announced financial results for the first quarter 2019 and a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share, payable on June 17, 2019 to shareholders of record as of June 3, 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company reported net income of $45.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted common share.  These results compare to net income of $55.0 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2018 and $30.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2018.   Income before taxes was negatively impacted by a $10.0 million charge-off related to a $16.8 million franchise lending relationship, as well as recognition of $1.8 million of primarily merger-related costs, the combination reducing earnings per diluted common share by $0.09 on a net basis.

Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2019 was 1.33% while return on average tangible common equity was 15.95%.  These compare to a return on average assets of 1.59% and return on average tangible common equity of 19.63% in the fourth quarter of 2018 and a return on average assets of 1.40% and a return on average tangible common equity of 17.18% in the first quarter of 2018.

First quarter 2019 highlights include:

  • After adjustments(1) for merger-related and nonrecurring items:
    • Net income of $0.48 per diluted common share
    • 1.38% return on average assets
    • 16.45% return on average tangible common equity
  • Net interest margin of 4.10% on a fully tax-equivalent basis(1)
    • 11 basis point reduction from the linked quarter driven by lower loan fees and moderated purchase accounting impact
  • Noninterest expenses of $78.5 million, or $76.7 million as adjusted(1)
    • Efficiency ratio of 52.9% for the first quarter; 51.7% as adjusted(1)
  • Stable loan  balances
    • 8% linked quarter increase in loan origination activity offset by prepayments 
    • Average loan balances increased $11.0 million compared to the linked quarter
  • Modest average deposit growth as an increase in time deposits offset seasonal declines in public funds and business demand deposit accounts
  • Annualized net charge-offs increased to 64 basis points as a percentage of average loans for the quarter driven by the previously mentioned $10.0 million charge-off resulting in provision expense of $14.1 million
  • Continued capital expansion
    • Total capital of 14.24%; Tier 1 common equity of 12.03%; Tangible common equity of 9.15%
    • Tangible book value increased to $12.19

 

1) Financial information in this release that is described as "adjusted" or that is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis is non-GAAP.  For details on the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the GAAP financial measure, see the sections titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release and "Appendix: Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation" in the accompanying slide presentation.

Archie Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "One year into operating as a combined company, we are encouraged that our core banking fundamentals and earnings power have met our initial expectations.  We are disappointed that a single credit loss muted what would have otherwise been a very profitable first quarter.  Aside from the $0.08 per share impact from the franchise loss, adjusted(1) earnings per share totaled $0.48 and our return on assets and average tangible common equity remained strong."

Mr. Brown continued, "We remain optimistic about the sustainability of our overall performance.  Our net interest margin was strong, despite expected declines in purchase accounting accretion and loan fee volatility.  Loan origination activity increased to its highest level post-merger, but we continue to face prepayment headwinds that are muting the impact of new production.  We are also pleased with modest deposit growth as higher time deposit balances offset expected seasonal declines in business DDA and public funds.  Our efficiency ratio continues to reflect disciplined expense management and we will look to maximize fee income opportunities going forward."

Mr. Brown concluded, "The Board announced a quarterly dividend of $0.22, which equates to an attractive 3.7% yield. Our strong and growing capital ratios reflect the Company's high level performance and give us flexibility to evaluate additional capital deployment opportunities such as executing on our share repurchase plan or making strategic acquisitions that enhance fee income or strengthen our market position."

(1) The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate.  Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis.  Therefore, management believes, these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons.  Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.

(2) March 31, 2019 regulatory capital ratios are preliminary.

(3) Includes loans held for sale.

(1) The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that
it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis.  Therefore, management believes, these measures provide useful information to
investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons.  Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.
