Record revenue drives the efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) to 49%

F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB) reported earnings for the third quarter of 2022 with net income available to common stockholders of $135.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted common share. Comparatively, third quarter of 2021 net income available to common stockholders totaled $109.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, and second quarter of 2022 net income available to common stockholders totaled $107.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share.

On an operating basis, the third quarter of 2022 earnings per diluted common share (non-GAAP) was $0.39, excluding $2.1 million (pre-tax) of significant items. On an operating basis, the third quarter of 2021 was $0.34 per share, excluding $0.9 million (pre-tax) of significant items, and the second quarter of 2022 was $0.31 per share, excluding $2.0 million (pre-tax) of significant items.

“F.N.B. Corporation produced outstanding third quarter results that set multiple records for our Company, including revenue of $380 million, operating earnings per share of $0.39 and an efficiency ratio of 49%, as well as a strong ROATCE of 19%,” said F.N.B. Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Vincent J. Delie, Jr. “Ending loans and deposits grew an annualized 10% and 5%, respectively, compared to the prior quarter, and we maintained a strong deposit mix with 35% non-interest-bearing deposits. Our asset quality continues to perform favorably with a low delinquency rate of 59 basis points and only 4 basis points of net charge-offs. We continue to stay focused on changes to the economic environment and remain confident in our ability to manage through potentially challenging macroeconomic conditions. FNB remains committed to our consistent underwriting, proactive credit risk management, diverse geographic footprint for originations, and strong capital and reserve coverage ratios.”

Third Quarter 2022 Results – Comparison to Prior-Year Quarter
(All comparisons refer to the third quarter of 2021, except as noted)

Net interest income totaled $297.1 million, an increase of $64.7 million, or 27.8%, compared to $232.4 million, as total average earning assets increased $3.0 billion, or 8.9%, including a $3.7 billion increase in average loans and leases from organic origination activity and acquired Howard loans, as well as a $1.1 billion increase in average investment securities. These increases were partially funded by excess cash which decreased by $1.6 billion. In addition to the growth in average earning assets, net interest income benefited from the repricing impact of the higher interest rate environment on earning asset yields, which was partially offset by the higher cost of interest-bearing deposit accounts. Additionally, PPP net interest income declined $26.3 million from the year-ago quarter as the PPP portfolio winds down.

The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) increased 47 basis points to 3.19%, as the yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) increased 68 basis points to 3.67%, primarily reflecting the higher yields on variable-rate loans and investment securities partially offset by significant reductions in PPP contributions. The total cost of funds increased 22 basis points to 0.50% with a 36 basis point increase in interest-bearing deposit costs, as well as an increase of 118 basis points in long-term debt cost partially due to the August 2022 offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.150% fixed rate senior notes due in 2025.

Average loans and leases totaled $28.4 billion, an increase of $3.7 billion, or 15.0%, including growth of $2.1 billion in consumer loans and $1.6 billion in commercial loans and leases. The increase in average commercial loans and leases included $1.1 billion, or 11.8%, in commercial real estate balances and $347.2 million, or 5.5%, in commercial and industrial loans, including average PPP loans declining $1.1 billion, driven by a combination of organic loan origination activity and the Howard acquisition. Commercial growth since the year-ago quarter was led by the Cleveland, Pittsburgh and North Carolina markets, as well as the Mid-Atlantic Region primarily from the Howard acquisition. The increase in average consumer loans included a $1.2 billion increase in residential mortgages and a $601.4 million increase in direct home equity installment loans driven by a combination of strong organic loan origination activity and the Howard acquisition. Average PPP loans declined $1.1 billion, or 94.3%, from the year-ago quarter as the portfolio winds down.

Average deposits totaled $33.6 billion with growth in average non-interest-bearing demand deposits of $1.4 billion, or 13.9%, and average interest-bearing demand deposits of $1.0 billion, or 7.3%, partially offset by a decline in time deposits of $144.8 million, or 4.7%. The increase in average deposits reflected organic growth in new and existing customer relationships and inflows from the Howard acquisition. The funding mix improved with non-interest-bearing deposits growing to 35% of total deposits at quarter end, compared to 33% as of September 30, 2021.

Non-interest income totaled $82.5 million, a decrease of $6.4 million, or 7.2%, compared to record levels in the third quarter of 2021. Mortgage banking operations income decreased $3.1 million as secondary market revenue and mortgage held-for-sale pipelines declined from higher levels given the sharp increase in mortgage rates in 2022. Capital markets income totaled $9.6 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 23.4%, as the decline in swap fees from elevated levels in the year-ago quarter was partially offset by increased contributions delivered by international banking and syndications. Other non-interest income declined $4.7 million, or 50%, as SBA premium income declined $1.9 million from elevated levels and the year-ago quarter also included a $2.2 million recovery on a previously written-off other asset. Service charges increased $4.2 million, or 13.4%, driven by interchange fees, increases in treasury management services and higher customer activity. There was also an increase to the FHLB dividend rate given the higher interest-rate environment resulting in a $1.4 million, or 75.4%, increase in dividends on non-marketable equity securities.

Non-interest expense totaled $195.1 million, increasing $10.8 million, or 5.9%. On an operating basis (non-GAAP), non-interest expense totaled $193.0 million, an increase of $9.7 million, or 5.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2021. Net occupancy and equipment increased $4.3 million, or 13.9%, primarily from technology-related investments and the acquired Howard expense base. Outside services increased $1.2 million, or 6.6%, with higher volume-related technology and third-party costs, as well as the acquired Howard expense base. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) equaled a record 49.4%, compared to 55.4%.

The ratio of non-performing assets and 90 days past due loans to total loans and other real estate owned (OREO) decreased 15 basis points to 0.36%. Total delinquency decreased 13 basis points to 0.59%, compared to 0.72% at September 30, 2021, demonstrating continued positive asset quality performance across the portfolio.

The provision for credit losses was $11.2 million, compared to a net benefit of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, with the increase primarily due to significant loan growth and CECL-related model impacts from a forecasted macroeconomic slowdown and lower prepayment speed assumptions which result in a longer expected loan life. The third quarter of 2022 reflected net charge-offs of $2.8 million, or 0.04% annualized of total average loans, compared to $1.6 million, or 0.03% annualized, in the third quarter of 2021. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses (ACL) to total loans and leases decreased 7 basis points to 1.34% despite the increase in provision for credit losses, directionally consistent with improved credit metrics and reflective of strong loan growth.

The effective tax rate was 20.7%, compared to 19.7% in the third quarter of 2021, with the increase due to higher pre-tax income and state income taxes.

The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 9.8% (estimated), compared to 9.9% at September 30, 2021. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $8.02 at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.40, or 4.8%, from $8.42 at September 30, 2021. AOCI reduced the current quarter tangible book value per common share by $1.08, compared to $0.16 at the end of the year-ago quarter, primarily due to the increase in unrealized losses on AFS securities resulting from the higher interest rate environment.

Third Quarter 2022 Results – Comparison to Prior Quarter
(All comparisons refer to the second quarter of 2022, except as noted)

Net interest income totaled $297.1 million, an increase of $43.4 million, or 17.1%, from the prior quarter total of $253.7 million, primarily due to growth in average earning assets and benefits from the higher interest rate environment. The resulting net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) increased 43 basis points to 3.19% driven by the asset sensitive position of the balance sheet in conjunction with the continued FOMC interest rate hikes.

Total average earning assets increased $142.2 million, or 0.4%, to $37.4 billion. The total yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) increased 62 basis points to 3.67%, due to benefits from the asset sensitive positioning of the balance sheet, including higher yields on variable-rate loans, investment securities and interest-bearing deposits with banks. The total cost of funds increased 20 basis points to 0.50% from 0.30%, as the cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 29 basis points to 0.57%, and long-term debt increased 37 basis points primarily due to the August 2022 issuance of $350 million in senior notes.

Average loans and leases totaled $28.4 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion, or 4.4%, as average consumer loans increased $722.9 million, or 7.5%, and average commercial loans and leases increased $463.1 million, or 2.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Consumer loan growth reflected average residential mortgages increasing $402.7 million, or 9.2%, and average direct home equity installment balances increasing $137.8 million, or 5.2%. The consumer loan growth was driven by organic loan origination activity, reflecting customer preferences for adjustable-rate mortgages and the continued success of the Physicians First mortgage program. Average commercial loans and leases included growth of $244.3 million, or 3.8%, in commercial and industrial loans and $211.1 million, or 2.0%, in commercial real estate. The quarterly growth in commercial loans and leases was led by the Cleveland and North Carolina markets.

Average deposits totaled $33.6 billion, decreasing slightly by $69.2 million, or 0.2%, with decreases in interest-bearing demand deposits of $107.4 million, or 0.7%, partially offset by increases in non-interest-bearing deposits of $17.9 million, or 0.2%, and savings balances of $28.1 million, or 0.7%. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 84.9% at September 30, 2022, compared to 83.8% at June 30, 2022. Period-end total deposits increased $413.0 million, or 4.9% annualized.

Non-interest income totaled $82.5 million, a $0.3 million, or 0.4%, increase from the prior quarter.   Service charges increased $1.3 million, or 3.6%, due to interchange fees, increases in treasury management services and higher customer activity. Capital markets income was $9.6 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 12.4%, with solid contributions from syndications, swap fees and international banking. Bank-owned life insurance decreased $1.4 million, or 34.6%, reflecting life insurance claims in the prior quarter, and insurance commissions and fees decreased $0.6 million, or 8.8%, reflecting lower title revenue given slowing mortgage activity. Mortgage banking operations income decreased $1.0 million, or 15.9%, as sold mortgage volume declined $111.2 million, or 34.2%.

Non-interest expense totaled $195.1 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 1.2%. On an operating basis (non-GAAP), non-interest expense increased $2.2 million, or 1.2%, compared to the prior quarter, excluding merger-related expenses of $2.1 million and $2.0 million in the third and second quarters of 2022, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits increased $2.8 million, or 2.6%, due to declining vacancies and production and performance-related incentives. Marketing decreased $1.4 million, or 30.9%, due to the timing of digital advertising spend and campaigns related to our Physician's First Program in the prior quarter. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) equaled 49.4%, compared to 55.2%, reflecting the well-managed operating expense levels and strong revenue growth.

The ratio of non-performing assets and 90 days past due to total loans and OREO remained at a good level, decreasing 3 basis points to 0.36%. Total delinquency also remained at good levels, increasing 1 basis point to 0.59%, compared to 0.58% at June 30, 2022.

The provision for credit losses was $11.2 million, compared to $6.4 million. These provision levels reflected continued strong underlying portfolio credit performance with the increase in the third quarter of 2022 driven by strong loan growth, as well as CECL-related model impacts from a forecasted macroeconomic slowdown and lower prepayment speed assumptions. The third quarter of 2022 reflected net charge-offs of $2.8 million, or 0.04% annualized of total average loans, compared to net recoveries of ($0.4 million), or (0.01)% annualized in the prior quarter. The ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases was 1.34% as of September 30, 2022, compared to 1.35% at June 30, 2022.

The effective tax rate was 20.7%, compared to 20.1% for the second quarter of 2022, with the increase primarily resulting from tax benefits from stock compensation activity in the prior quarter.

The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 9.8% (estimated), increasing from 9.7% at June 30, 2022, benefitting from the strong retained earnings growth in the quarter. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $8.02 at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.08 per share from June 30, 2022. AOCI reduced the current quarter-end tangible book value per common share by $1.08 reflecting increased unrealized losses on AFS securities caused by the higher interest rate environment, compared to $0.72 at the end of the prior quarter, which was mitigated by the strong retained earnings growth.

September 30, 2022 Year-To-Date Results – Comparison to Prior Year-To-Date Period

Net interest income totaled $784.9 million, increasing $101.7 million, or 14.9%, as the higher interest rate environment benefited earning asset yields given the asset sensitive positioning of the balance sheet. The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) increased 14 basis points to 2.86%. The total impact of PPP, purchase accounting accretion and higher cash balances on net interest margin was a decrease of 2 basis points, compared to a benefit of 9 basis points in the prior year. The yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) increased 17 basis points to 3.19% reflecting the higher yields on variable-rate loans, investment securities and excess cash balances, partially offset by significant reductions in PPP contributions. The cost of funds increased 4 basis points to 0.35% due to the cost of interest-bearing deposits increasing 8 basis points to 0.33%, and long-term debt increasing 111 basis points primarily from the August 2022 offering of $350 million in senior notes, which was partially offset by strong growth in non-interest-bearing deposits.

Average loans totaled $27.3 billion, an increase of $2.1 billion, or 8.4%, including growth of $1.6 billion in consumer loans and $482.8 million in commercial loans and leases. Growth in total average commercial loans included $842.4 million, or 8.6%, in commercial real estate, partially offset by a decline of $431.0 million, or 6.3%, in commercial and industrial loans, due to average PPP loans declining $1.7 billion. The healthy growth since the year-ago quarter is primarily attributable to the Cleveland, Pittsburgh and North Carolina markets, as well as acquired Howard loans. Growth in total average consumer loans was due to an increase in residential mortgage loans of $958.4 million, or 27.9%, direct home equity installment loans of $552.2 million, or 26.4%, and indirect installment loans of $110.4 million, or 9.1%.

Average deposits totaled $33.4 billion, increasing $3.2 billion, or 10.6%, led by growth of $1.7 billion, or 17.5%, in non-interest-bearing deposits and $1.3 billion, or 9.2%, in interest-bearing demand deposits driven by solid organic growth in customer relationships as well as the Howard acquisition. Time deposits declined $332.2 million, or 10.1%, as customer preferences had shifted to more liquid accounts, however, customers' preferences are beginning to shift back to time deposits as interest rates increase.

Non-interest income totaled $242.9 million, decreasing $8.5 million, or 3.4%. Mortgage banking operations income decreased $13.5 million, or 42.9%, as secondary market revenue and mortgage held-for-sale pipelines declined from elevated levels in 2021 due to the sharp increase in interest rates throughout 2022. Capital markets decreased $2.0 million, or 7.3%, as swap activity decreased from elevated levels, which was offset by increases in international banking, syndications and debt capital markets. Other non-interest income declined $7.8 million, or 37.4%, as SBA premium income declined $4.1 million from elevated levels due to the higher interest rate environment and the prior year also included a $2.2 million recovery on a previously written-off other asset. Service charges increased $12.9 million, or 14.4%, driven by interchange fees, increases in treasury management services and higher customer activity. Wealth management revenues increased $2.5 million, or 5.6%, as trust income and securities commissions and fees increased 6.6% and 3.9%, respectively, through contributions across the geographic footprint and an increase in assets under management.

Non-interest expense totaled $615.3 million, an increase of $63.7 million, or 11.5%, from 2021. Excluding significant items totaling $36.9 million in 2022 and $3.6 million in 2021, operating non-interest expense (non-GAAP) increased $30.3 million, or 5.5%. This increase was attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits expense of $8.4 million, or 2.7%, related to normal merit increases, higher production-related commissions and incentives, and the acquired Howard expense base. Occupancy and equipment increased $8.3 million, or 8.5%, primarily from technology-related investments and the acquired Howard expense base. FDIC insurance increased $1.7 million, or 12.3%, primarily due to loan growth and balance sheet mix shift. Other non-interest expense increased $11.0 million, or 26.4%, primarily due to increases in business development and other operational costs. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) equaled 54.7% on a year-to-date basis, compared to 56.9% in the 2021 period.

The provision for credit losses was $35.6 million. Excluding $19.1 million of initial provision for non-PCD loans associated with the Howard acquisition, provision for credit losses was $16.4 million, on an operating basis (non-GAAP), compared to $3.0 million in 2021 driven primarily by the significant loan growth. Net charge-offs totaled $4.3 million, or 0.02% of total average loans, compared to $12.5 million, or 0.07%, in 2021, with both periods well below historical levels.

The effective tax rate was 20.5% for 2022, compared to 19.5% in 2021. The increase was driven by higher state income taxes and increased FDIC insurance deduction disallowance. 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
To supplement our Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating net income available to common stockholders, operating earnings per diluted common share, return on average tangible equity, return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, the ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, provision for credit losses, excluding the initial provision for non-PCD loans associated with the Howard acquisition, pre-provision net revenue to average tangible common equity,  efficiency ratio, and net interest margin (FTE) to provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators we use may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to assess their performance and trends.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental in nature, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. When non-GAAP financial measures are disclosed, the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Regulation G requires: (i) the presentation of the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure presented and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included later in this release under the heading “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators to GAAP.”

Management believes items such as merger expenses, initial provision for non-PCD loans acquired and branch consolidation costs are not organic to run our operations and facilities. These items are considered significant items impacting earnings as they are deemed to be outside of ordinary banking activities. The merger expenses and branch consolidation costs principally represent expenses to satisfy contractual obligations of the acquired entity or closed branch without any useful ongoing benefit to us. These costs are specific to each individual transaction and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction.

To facilitate peer comparisons of net interest margin and efficiency ratio, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets (loans and investments) to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments (this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP). Taxable-equivalent amounts for the 2022 and 2021 periods were calculated using a federal statutory income tax rate of 21%.
