Akron, Ohio (July 28, 2009) — FirstMerit Corporation (Nasdaq: FMER) reported second quarter 2009 net income of $15.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. This compares with $29.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2009 and $29.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2008. Included in the second quarter 2009 results was a $3.7 million after-tax FDIC Special Assessment fee ($0.04 per share). Also included in the second quarter 2009 results was a $4.5 million after-tax expense ($0.06 per share) associated with the unamortized discount on the preferred stock under the TARP program. The Company’s provision for loan losses in the second quarter 2009 exceeded net charge-offs by $5.0 million. The after-tax impact to net income from this reserve build action was $3.6 million ($0.04 per share).
     On April 22, FirstMerit repurchased all of the $125 million in preferred, non-voting stock that was sold to the Treasury Department under the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).

     “Our second quarter results reflect solid performance that confirms FirstMerit’s position as the strong and stable bank of choice in northeast Ohio. Remaining focused on sound banking fundamentals and pursuing strategies for consistent and sustainable profitability resulted in increased revenue, better-than-peer credit quality, well-managed expenses and a strong balance sheet,” said Paul G. Greig, chairman, president and CEO of FirstMerit Corporation. “In a challenging operating environment, our efforts once again produced increased revenue over the prior-year quarter.”
     “Our increased capital levels provide us with additional support in this uncertain economy and position us to take advantage of growth opportunities in and around our core markets,” Greig said. “During this past quarter, we enhanced our already strong balance sheet by adding $61 million of tangible common equity generated by our at-the-market stock offering”
     Returns on average common equity (“ROE”) and average assets (“ROA”) for the second quarter 2009 were 6.27% and 0.57%, respectively, compared with 12.39% and 1.07% for the first quarter 2009 and 12.31% and 1.11% for the second quarter 2008.
     Net interest margin was 3.56% for the second quarter of 2009 compared with 3.53% for the first quarter of 2009 and 3.69% for the second quarter of 2008. The margin expansion in the quarter was primarily driven by lower funding costs due to a continued shift in deposit mix with increased emphasis on core deposit products and lower certificate of deposit balances.
     Average loans during the second quarter of 2009 decreased $134.3 million, or 1.82%, compared to the first quarter of 2009 and increased $106.1 million, or 1.49%, compared with the second quarter of 2008. The increase in the second quarter 2009 as compared to second quarter 2008 was due to commercial loan growth of $193.8 million, or 4.76%. The reduction in loans in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the prior quarter reflects the current economic cycle in which business owners have reduced inventory and receivables and are focused on paying down existing debt.
     During the second quarter of 2009 the Company increased its average core deposits, which excludes time deposits, by $311.9 million, or 6.16%, compared with the first quarter of 2009, and $778.1 million, or 16.93%, compared with the second quarter of 2008. Average deposits during the second quarter of 2009 decreased $29.3 million, or 0.38%, compared with the first quarter of 2009 and increased $275.3 million, or 3.75%, compared with the second quarter of 2008.
     Average investments decreased $51.1 million, or 1.83%, compared with the first quarter of 2009 and increased $218.3 million, or 8.68%, over the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in the quarter was primarily attributable to principal repayment on mortgage-backed securities. The year-over-year increase is a result of the leverage strategy implemented in the fourth quarter of 2008.

     Other income, net of securities gains, as a percentage of net revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was 35.87% compared with 38.39% for first quarter of 2009 and 35.38% for the second quarter of 2008. Net revenue is defined as net interest income, on a FTE basis, plus other income, less gains from securities sales.
     Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $90.6 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 8.85%, from the first quarter of 2009 and an increase of $10.0 million, or 12.43%, from the second quarter of 2008. Included in the second quarter 2009 expenses was the FDIC Special Assessment fee of $5.1 million.
     The reported efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2009 was 65.34%, compared with 57.81% for the first quarter of 2009 and 58.38% for the second quarter of 2008. Absent the $5.1 million FDIC Special Assessment fee, the efficiency ratio is 61.66%.
     Net charge-offs totaled $21.6 million, or 1.19% of average loans, in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $15.6 million, or 0.86% of average loans, in the first quarter 2009 and $10.7 million, or 0.60% of average loans, in the second quarter of 2008.
     Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2009 represented 1.03% of period-end loans plus other real estate compared with 1.04% at March 31, 2009 and 0.57% at June 30, 2008. Nonperforming assets totaled $73.4 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $31.7 million compared with June 30, 2008. Significantly, nonperforming assets in second quarter 2009 decreased $2.9 million, or 3.79%, from first quarter 2009. This decrease reflects strong workout and collection activity coupled with timely charge-off recognition.

     The allowance for loan losses totaled $111.2 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $5.0 million from March 31, 2009. Given the current economic environment, the Company has continued a strategy to build reserve levels and year-to-date has provided $7.6 million in excess of net charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was 1.56% of period-end loans compared with 1.45% at March 31, 2009 and 1.36% at June 30, 2008. The allowance for credit losses is the sum of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. For comparative purposes the allowance for credit losses was 1.64% at June 30, 2009, compared with 1.53% at March 31, 2009 and 1.46% at June 30, 2008. The allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 184.71% at June 30, 2009, compared with 159.93% at March 31, 2009 and 288.50% at June 30, 2008. Given the current environment, management increased the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2009 The increase in the allowance for loan losses in second quarter 2009 is attributable to the migration of some commercial credits within pass credit categories to higher risk levels as well as the consumer retail portfolio showing additional stress related to unemployment rates under current economic conditions.
     The Company’s total assets at June 30, 2009 were $10.7 billion, a decrease of $275.2 million, or 2.51%, compared with March 31, 2009 and an increase of $132.2 million, or 1.25%, compared with June 30, 2008. The decrease in total assets compared with March 31, 2009, was due to a $205 million decrease in total loans and the $125 repurchase of TARP preferred shares. These reductions were partially offset by the $61 million of equity raised through the Company’s at-the-market stock offering. Growth in investment securities of $233.6 million, or 9.46%, in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with June 30, 2008, provided the majority of the overall asset growth. Total loans decreased $205.6 million compared with March 31, 2009.
     Total deposits were $7.5 billion at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $227.0 million, or 2.96%, from March 31, 2009 and an increase of $174.0 million, or 2.39%, from June 30, 2008. The increase compared with June 30, 2008 was driven by an overall increase in savings and demand deposits. Core deposits totaled $5.4 billion at June 30, 2009, an increase of $103.4 million, or 1.96%, from March 31, 2009 and an increase of $741.2 million, or 15.96%, from June 30, 2008.
     Shareholders’ equity was $1,022.6 million at June 30, 2009, compared with $1,084.3 million at March 31, 2009 and $924.4 million at June 30, 2008. The Company increased its strong capital position as tangible common equity to assets was 8.36% at June 30, 2009, compared with 7.56% and 7.52% at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
