FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                

First Commonwealth Announces Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results;
Declares Quarterly Dividend
Indiana, PA, October 26, 2016 - First Commonwealth Financial Corporation (NYSE: FCF) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2016.
Third Quarter 2016 Highlights
Franchise Growth
First Commonwealth announced the acquisition of DCB Financial Corp. with nine full-service branches, $397 million in loans and $467 million in deposits in the Greater Columbus, Ohio region; and
First Commonwealth announced and received all regulatory approvals necessary to complete the acquisition of 13 FirstMerit branches in Canton and Ashtabula, Ohio.
Profitability
Return on average assets improved to 1.02% and is at the highest level since the third quarter of 2013;
The net interest margin improved two basis points to 3.29%; and
The efficiency ratio was 57.3% (or 56.7% on a core basis), driven by higher revenue and well controlled operational expenses.
Net Income
Third quarter net income was $17.2 million, or $0.19 diluted earnings per share and is at the highest level since the third quarter of 2006. Net income was impacted by the following items:
Net interest income of $50.6 million increased by $0.5 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily as a result of strong commercial loan growth;
Noninterest income of $17.0 million, excluding net securities gains, increased by $1.5 million compared to the prior quarter, driven by mortgage gain on sale income and a positive derivative mark-to-market of commercial loan interest rate swaps;
Noninterest expense of $38.7 million increased $1.3 million from the previous quarter due to an increase in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments and higher benefits costs; and
Provision for credit losses totaled $3.4 million, a decrease of $7.0 million from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $7.5 million specific reserve set aside against an energy-related credit in the second quarter of 2016.

Our third quarter performance builds on the growing momentum of our core operating performance this year,” stated T. Michael Price, President and Chief Executive Officer. We are certainly encouraged by the achievement of an ROA of over 1.00% this quarter, but we remain focused on delivering on our long-term financial commitments,



                                                

which include improving credit costs and controlling expenses. And in the near-term, it will be all hands on deck as we work to complete two previously announced acquisitions in our expanding Ohio market.”

Financial Results Summary
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, net income was $17.2 million, or $0.19 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $12.0 million, or $0.14 diluted earnings per share, in the second quarter of 2016 and net income of $12.4 million, or $0.14 diluted earnings per share, in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in net income compared to the second quarter of 2016 was driven by a $7.0 million decrease in the provision for credit losses, a $1.5 million increase in noninterest income, and a $0.5 million increase in net interest income from the second quarter of 2016, offset by an increase of $1.3 million in noninterest expense. The increase in net income compared to the third quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by an increase of $3.0 million in net interest income, a $1.2 million decrease in the provision for credit losses, an increase in noninterest income of $1.5 million and a decrease of $1.6 million in noninterest expense.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net income was $41.7 million, or $0.47 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $40.1 million, or $0.45 diluted earnings per share, for the comparable period in 2015. The increase in net income compared to 2015 was primarily the result of an increase of $7.6 million in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense of $6.5 million, offset by an $11.5 million increase in the provision for credit losses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.83% and 7.53%, respectively, as compared to 0.84% and 7.48% in the first nine months of 2015. Return on average tangible common equity was 9.70% for the first nine months of 2016 and 9.68% for the first nine months of 2015.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Third quarter 2016 net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, increased by $0.5 million to $50.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2016. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily the result of favorable



                                                

replacement rates on commercial and consumer loan yields. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by two basis points and funding costs remained relatively stable during the quarter.
As compared to the third quarter of 2015, net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, increased by $3.0 million, driven largely by a $324.3 million, or 5.6%, increase in average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin of 3.29% in the third quarter of 2016 was four basis points higher than in the third quarter of 2015. The increase came despite a seven basis point increase in funding costs that was offset by an eight basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets between the periods, and benefited from an increase of $88.7 million in average noninterest-bearing deposits.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, increased $7.6 million to $150.4 million as compared to the same period of 2015. The increase in net interest income was a result of a $310.2 million increase in the volume of average interest-earning assets and a four basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets, offset by a six basis point increase in funding costs.
Total deposits grew by $64.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, or 5.9% annualized. Average deposits increased by $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2016 from the prior quarter. Average deposits increased $163.8 million from the year-ago quarter, which includes the addition of $89.9 million in deposits acquired as part of the First Community acquisition. The year-over-year comparison is driven by decreases of $11.5 million in time deposits and $61.5 million in brokered deposits, offset by $148.0 million of core deposit growth in savings deposits and $88.7 million of core deposit growth in noninterest-bearing deposits.
Average short-term borrowings decreased $55.7 million from the prior quarter as securities maturities were not replaced due to unfavorable replacement yields, but increased $159.0 million over the year-ago period, partly due to the aforementioned runoff in time and brokered deposits compared to the prior year period. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $16.3 million as compared to the prior quarter and increased $88.7 million from the year-ago quarter, due in part to the addition of $11.6 million related to the First Community acquisition.
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits currently comprise 27.8% of total deposits. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits decreased $8.4 million from the prior quarter and increased $148.0 million from the year-ago period, which includes the addition of $36.1 million related to the First Community acquisition.
Credit Quality
The provision for credit losses totaled $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $7.0 million as compared to the prior quarter and a decrease of $1.2 million from the same quarter last year. The decrease from the prior quarter is primarily attributable to a $7.5 million reserve which was established for a credit related to the manufacturing of safety products for the mining industry in the second quarter of 2016.
At September 30, 2016, nonperforming loans were $54.8 million, a decrease of $9.6 million from June 30, 2016 and an increase of $14.0 million from September 30, 2015. The decrease from the second quarter of 2016 was related to



                                                

the charge-off of the aforementioned energy credit that was placed into nonperforming status in the second quarter of 2016. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.13%, 1.33% and 0.89% for the periods ended September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively.
During the third quarter of 2016, net charge-offs were $8.5 million, compared to $5.8 million in the prior quarter and $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2015. Of the $8.5 million in net charge-offs in the third quarter, $6.5 million represented charge-offs related to the aforementioned energy credit that was placed into nonaccrual in the second quarter of 2016.
The allowance for credit losses was $54.7 million at September 30, 2016, and as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.13%, 1.24% and 1.06% for September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively. General reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans were 0.97%, 0.93% and 0.97% for September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively.
Other real estate owned (OREO) acquired through foreclosure was $7.7 million at September 30, 2016 and $8.6 million at June 30, 2016 and $10.5 million at September 30, 2015. There were no significant additions to OREO in the third quarter of 2016.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income, excluding net securities gains, increased $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the prior quarter and $1.5 million compared to the same quarter last year. The increase from the prior quarter is primarily the result of a $1.0 million positive variance from the prior quarter in the adjustment for the derivative mark-to-market of commercial loan interest rate swaps, an increase of $0.3 million from the gain on sale of mortgage loans and an increase of $0.2 million in trust income.
The increase in noninterest income from the prior-year period of $1.5 million is primarily related to a positive variance of $1.3 million in the adjustment for the derivative mark-to-market of commercial loan interest rate swaps, as well as a $0.6 million increase in swap income, a $0.4 million increase in gain on sale of mortgage loans, offset by $0.4 million lower gains on sale of other assets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, noninterest income, excluding net securities gains, remained relatively flat at $46.3 million as compared to the same period of 2015. Changes in the composition of noninterest income included increases of $1.0 million in gain on sale of mortgage loans, $1.3 million in swap fee income and $0.3 million in card-related interchange income, offset by a $0.7 million negative variance from prior year in the adjustment for the derivative mark-to-market of commercial loan interest rate swaps, a decrease of $0.4 million in trust income, a decrease of $0.5 million in insurance and retail brokerage commissions and $0.4 million in lower gains on sale of other assets.



                                                

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased $1.3 million to $38.7 million in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the prior quarter and decreased $1.6 million as compared to the third quarter of 2015. Salaries and benefits increased $0.8 million as compared to the prior quarter primarily due to continued realignment of the staffing levels of our consumer banking businesses and from higher hospitalization costs. Also impacting noninterest expense as compared to the prior quarter was an increase in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $1.0 million (which is included in other operating expenses) and an increase of $0.3 million in other professional fees, offset by $0.3 million of lower operational losses.
Noninterest expense decreased $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015, primarily attributable to decreases in salaries and benefits of $1.8 million as compared to the prior year due to the aforementioned realignment of our consumer banking businesses, lower benefits costs and a decline of $0.8 million in Pennsylvania shares tax expense due to a disputed assessment that was settled during the third quarter of 2015. These items were offset by an increase of $0.5 million in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments (which is included in other operating expenses) and $0.3 million increase in data processing costs.
For the nine months ending September 30, 2016, noninterest expense decreased $6.5 million, or 5.4%, as compared to the same period of 2015, driven by a decline in salaries and benefits of $4.1 million due to the previously mentioned realignment of our consumer businesses and lower benefits costs, a $0.9 million decrease in Pennsylvania shares tax expense, $0.4 million of decreased collection and repossession expenses, $0.5 million of lower operational losses, a $1.4 million decrease in loss on sale or write-down of assets and lower provision expense of $1.2 million associated with the reserve for unfunded loan commitments (which is included in other operating expenses). These decreases were offset by an increase of $0.9 million in data processing expense due to the issuance of chip debit cards during the first nine months of 2016.
Full time equivalent staff increased slightly to 1,179 at September 30, 2016 from 1,168 at June 30, 2016 and declined from 1,263 at September 30, 2015, respectively. The slight increase from June 30, 2016 is the result of the continued realignment of our consumer banking businesses. The decrease from September 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to staff reductions due to the realignment of our consumer banking businesses, offset by the recent expansion of our mortgage and commercial banking businesses in our Ohio market.
The efficiency ratio, calculated as total noninterest expense as a percentage of total revenue (which consists of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis plus total noninterest income, excluding net securities gains), was 57.27% and 58.12% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to 63.83% and 63.99% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The core efficiency ratio, which excludes securities gains and losses, amortization of intangible assets and other nonrecurring items, was 56.65% and 57.67% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to 61.65% and 62.57% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Consolidated Financial Highlights accompanying this news release include additional information



                                                

regarding reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to reported amounts, including a reconciliation of the core efficiency ratio.
Dividends and Capital
First Commonwealth Financial Corporation declared a common stock quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share, which is payable on November 18, 2016 to shareholders of record as of November 7, 2016. This dividend represents a 2.8% projected annual yield utilizing the October 25, 2016 closing market price of $9.98.

DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(1) Net interest income has been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("FTE") using the 35% federal income tax statutory rate.
(2) Efficiency ratio is "total noninterest expense" as a percentage of total revenue. Total revenue consists of "net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis," plus "total noninterest income," excluding "net impairment losses" and "net securities gains."
(3) Core efficiency ratio excludes from total revenue the impact of derivative mark-to-market and excludes from "total noninterest expense" the amortization of intangibles, unfunded commitment expense and any other unusual items deemed by management to not be related to normal operations, such as merger, acquisition and severance costs.
(4) Includes held for sale loans.
(5) Excludes held for sale loans.
