Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights
(All comparisons refer to the fourth quarter of 2023, except as noted)

• Period-end total loans and leases increased $1.6 billion, or 5.0%. Consumer loans increased $949.0 million, or 8.0%, even with a $431 million indirect auto loan sale that closed in September 2024, and commercial loans and leases increased $667.2 million, or 3.3%. FNB’s loan growth was driven by the continued success of our strategy to grow high-quality loans and deepen customer relationships across our diverse geographic footprint.

• On a linked-quarter basis, period-end total loans and leases increased $221.0 million, or 0.7%, with an increase in consumer loans of $239.8 million, partially offset by a slight decrease in commercial loans and leases of $18.2 million.

• Period-end total deposits increased $2.4 billion, or 6.9%, driven by an increase of $1.9 billion in interest-bearing demand deposits and $1.3 billion in shorter-term time deposits, offsetting the decline of $461.3 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits and $286.7 million in savings deposits, as customers continued to opt for higher-yielding deposit products.

• On a linked-quarter basis, period-end total deposits increased $336.2 million, or 0.9%, with increases in interest-bearing demand deposits of $669.1 million more than offsetting the decline in shorter-term time deposits of $170.7 million, non-interest-bearing demand deposits of $109.4 million and savings deposits of $52.8 million. The ratio of non-interest-bearing demand deposits to total deposits was 26% at December 31, 2024, compared to 27% at the prior quarter end, reflecting the strong interest-bearing deposit growth and stable non-interest-bearing demand deposit balances.

• The loan-to-deposit ratio was 91% at December 31, 2024, compared to 92% at September 30, 2024, and 93% at December 31, 2023.

• In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recognized renewable energy investment tax credits of $28.4 million as a benefit to income taxes from a solar project financing transaction. A related non-credit valuation impairment of $10.4 million (pre-tax) was recognized on the financing receivable in other non-interest expense.

• In November 2024, the Company completed the sale of $231 million in available-for-sale (AFS) investment securities yielding 1.41% as part of a balance sheet restructuring. The sale resulted in a realized loss (pre-tax) of $34.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. We reinvested proceeds from the sale into investment securities yielding 4.78% with a similar duration and convexity profile.

• In December 2024, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate / floating rate senior notes maturing in December 2030. The senior notes bear interest at 5.722% per annum until December 11, 2029. Starting on December 11, 2029, the senior notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to compounded SOFR plus 1.93%. The new debt will be used for general corporate purposes and serve as a replacement for $450 million of senior and subordinated note maturities occurring in 2025.

• Net interest income totaled $322.2 million, a slight decrease of $1.1 million, or 0.3%, from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower earning asset yields driven by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate cuts in the third and fourth quarters of 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the FOMC lowered the target federal funds rate by a total of 50 basis points, bringing the year-to-date decrease to 100 basis points.

• Net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) equaled 3.04%, a 4 basis point decline from the prior quarter, reflecting a 17 basis point decline in the total yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) and a 14 basis point decline in the total cost of funds.

• Non-interest income of $50.9 million included a $34.0 million realized loss (pre-tax) on the previously mentioned securities restructuring. The realized loss represents the fourth quarter 2024 significant item impacting earnings. Operating non-interest income (non-GAAP) totaled $84.9 million.

• Provision for credit losses was $22.3 million, a decrease of $1.2 million from the prior quarter with net charge-offs of $20.6 million down slightly compared to $21.5 million in the prior quarter. The ratio of non-performing loans and other real estate owned (OREO) to total loans and leases and OREO increased 9 basis points from the prior quarter to 0.48%, and total delinquency increased 4 basis points from the prior quarter to 0.83%. Overall, asset quality metrics continue to remain at solid levels.

• The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 10.6% (estimated), compared to 10.0% at December 31, 2023, and 10.4% at September 30, 2024. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) of $10.49 increased $1.02, or 10.8%, compared to December 31, 2023, and $0.16, or 1.5%, compared to September 30, 2024. Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss (AOCI) reduced the tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.47 as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to the impact of quarter-end interest rates on the fair value of AFS securities, compared to a reduction of $0.65 as of December 31, 2023, and $0.43 as of September 30, 2024.Tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio (non-GAAP) totaled 8.2%, compared to 7.8% at December 31, 2023, and 8.2% at September 30, 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results – Comparison to Prior-Year Quarter
(All comparisons refer to the fourth quarter of 2023, except as noted)

Net interest income totaled $322.2 million, a slight decrease of $1.8 million, or 0.6%, reflecting higher deposit costs resulting from balance growth in higher yielding deposit products, partially offset by growth in earning assets and higher yields on investment securities.

The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) decreased 17 basis points to 3.04%. The yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) increased 9 basis points to 5.34% driven by a 65 basis point increase in yields on investment securities to 3.52%, which benefited from balance sheet restructuring actions in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2024, offsetting a 3 basis point decline in yields on loans to 5.79%. Total cost of funds increased 28 basis points to 2.42% with a 35 basis point increase in interest-bearing deposit costs to 3.00% and an increase of 21 basis points in total borrowing costs.

Average loans and leases totaled $33.8 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion, or 4.8%, including growth of $946.0 million in commercial loans and leases and $616.9 million in consumer loans. Commercial real estate increased $793.9 million, or 6.6%, commercial leases increased $74.8 million, or 11.6%, and commercial and industrial loans increased $73.4 million, or 1.0%. The increase in average commercial loans and leases was driven by activity across the footprint, including the Cleveland, Harrisburg and eastern North Carolina markets. The increase in commercial real estate included fundings on previously originated construction projects. The increase in average consumer loans included a $1.4 billion increase in residential mortgages largely due to the continued successful execution in key markets by our expanded mortgage banker team and long-standing strategy of serving the purchase market. Average indirect auto loans decreased $748.2 million, reflecting sales of $332 million and $431 million of such loans that closed in the first and third quarters of 2024, respectively, partially offset by new organic growth in the portfolio.

Average deposits totaled $37.0 billion, an increase of $2.5 billion, or 7.4%, from the prior-year quarter. The growth in average time deposits of $1.7 billion and average interest-bearing demand deposits of $1.7 billion more than offset the decline in average non-interest-bearing demand deposits of $560.8 million and average savings deposits of $324.6 million as customers continued to migrate balances into higher-yielding products. The funding mix has slightly shifted compared to the year-ago quarter with non-interest-bearing demand deposits comprising 26% of total deposits at December 31, 2024, compared to 29% a year ago. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 91% at December 31, 2024, compared to 93% at December 31, 2023.

Non-interest income totaled $50.9 million, compared to $13.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. When adjusting for significant items of $34.0 million^[1] in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $67.4 million^[2] in the fourth quarter of 2023, operating non-interest income (non-GAAP) increased 5.6% to $84.9 million. Service charges increased $3.2 million, or 16.2%, primarily due to strong Treasury Management activity and higher consumer transaction volumes. Wealth Management revenues increased $1.1 million, or 6.1%, as trust income and securities commissions and fees increased 7.8% and 3.6%, respectively, through continued strong contributions across the geographic footprint.

Non-interest expense totaled $248.2 million, decreasing $17.4 million, or 6.5%. When adjusting for $46.6 million^[3] of significant items in the fourth quarter of 2023, operating non-interest expense (non-GAAP) increased $29.3 million, or 13.4%. Salaries and employee benefits increased $13.9 million, or 12.1%, primarily from elevated employer-paid healthcare costs and normal annual merit increases, as well as strategic hiring associated with our efforts to grow market share and continued investments in our risk management infrastructure, partially offset by lower production and performance-related variable compensation. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company also recognized a financing receivable non-credit impairment of $10.4 million (pre-tax) from a renewable energy investment tax credit transaction. The related renewable energy investment tax credits were recognized during the quarter as a benefit to income taxes. Outside services increased $2.5 million, or 10.8%, due to higher volume-related technology and third-party costs associated with ongoing investments in our enterprise risk management framework.

The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO increased 14 basis points to 0.48%. Total delinquency increased 13 basis points to 0.83%, compared to 0.70% at December 31, 2023. Overall, asset quality metrics continue to remain at solid levels.

The provision for credit losses was $22.3 million, compared to $13.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter of 2024 reflected net charge-offs of $20.6 million, or 0.24% annualized of total average loans, compared to $8.2 million, or 0.10% annualized. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $422.8 million, an increase of $17.2 million, with the ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases stable at 1.25%.

The effective tax rate was (7.0)%, compared to 13.1% in the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting the impact of the previously mentioned significant items impacting earnings as well as renewable energy investment tax credits recognized as part of solar project financing transactions.

The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 10.6% (estimated) at December 31, 2024, and 10.0% at December 31, 2023. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $10.49 at December 31, 2024, an increase of $1.02, or 10.8%, from $9.47 at December 31, 2023. AOCI reduced the current quarter tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.47, compared to a reduction of $0.65 at the end of the year-ago quarter.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results – Comparison to Prior Quarter
(All comparisons refer to the third quarter of 2024, except as noted)

Net interest income totaled $322.2 million, a slight decrease of $1.1 million, or 0.3%, from the prior quarter total of $323.3 million, reflecting lower earning asset yields, partially offset by the lower cost of interest-bearing deposits and the favorable mix-shift in interest-bearing liabilities. The total yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) decreased 17 basis points to 5.34% reflecting the impact of the FOMC interest rate cuts on loan yields offset by higher yields on investment security purchases as a result of monthly cash flows and the securities restructuring that occurred in the fourth quarter. The total cost of funds decreased 14 basis points to 2.42%, as the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 8 basis points to 3.00% and long-term borrowing costs decreased 20 basis points to 5.04%, inclusive of the December 2024 offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due in 2030. Period-end total borrowings were $4.3 billion, an increase of $191.0 million, or 4.7%, from the prior quarter, reflecting the senior note offering, partially offset by payoffs funded by deposit growth. The resulting net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) decreased 4 basis points to 3.04%. Our total cumulative spot deposit beta since the FOMC interest rate cuts began in September 2024 equaled 16% at December 31, 2024.

Average loans and leases totaled $33.8 billion, an increase of $27.7 million, or 0.1%, as average commercial loans and leases increased $16.2 million, or 0.1%, and average consumer loans increased $11.5 million, or 0.1%. The increase in average commercial loans and leases included growth of $29.0 million, or 4.2%, in commercial leases. For consumer lending, average residential mortgages increased $271.2 million, offsetting the average indirect auto loans decrease of $280.5 million from the sale of $431 million that closed in September of 2024.

Average deposits totaled $37.0 billion, increasing $1.4 billion, or 3.8%, due to organic growth in new and existing customer relationships through our successful deposit initiatives. Increases in average interest-bearing-demand deposits of $1.2 billion and average time deposits of $293.6 million were partially offset by declines in average savings balances of $74.8 million, resulting from customers' preferences for higher-yielding deposit products. Average non-interest-bearing deposit balances were stable at $9.9 billion. The mix of non-interest-bearing demand deposits to total deposits was 26% at December 31, 2024, a slight decline from 27% at September 30, 2024, driven by the strong growth in interest-bearing deposit balances. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 91% at December 31, 2024, compared to 92% at September 30, 2024.

Non-interest income totaled $50.9 million, a decrease of $38.8 million, or 43.2%, from the prior quarter. When adjusting for a $34.0 million^[4] significant item in the fourth quarter of 2024, operating non-interest income (non-GAAP) totaled $84.9 million, a 5.3% decrease from the record level in the prior quarter. Mortgage banking operations income increased $1.4 million, or 25.8%. Included in mortgage banking operations income was a $2.7 million mortgage servicing rights (MSR) net valuation recovery in the fourth quarter, compared to a $2.8 million net MSR impairment in the third quarter, offset by lower gain-on-sale margins given the sharp increase in mortgage rates during the fourth quarter. Capital markets income totaled $6.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 6.1%, led by broad-based contributions from syndications, debt capital markets, customer swap activity and international banking. Bank-owned life insurance decreased $3.0 million, due to elevated life insurance claims in the prior quarter. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings declined and the FHLB dividend rate was reduced resulting in a $1.2 million, or 17.7%, decrease in dividends on non-marketable equity securities.

Non-interest expense totaled $248.2 million, compared to $249.4 million in the prior quarter. When adjusting for significant items of $15.3 million^[5] in the third quarter of 2024, non-interest expense increased $14.0 million, or 6.0%, on an operating basis (non-GAAP). Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.9 million, primarily due to elevated employer-paid healthcare costs, partially offset by lower production and performance-related variable compensation. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company also recognized a financing receivable non-credit impairment of $10.4 million (pre-tax) from a renewable energy investment tax credit transaction. The related renewable energy investment tax credits were recognized during the quarter as a benefit to income taxes. Outside services increased $1.3 million, or 5.2%, largely due to higher volume-related technology and third-party costs associated with ongoing investments in the enterprise risk management framework. Bank shares and franchise tax expense decreased $2.3 million, or 59.1%, from charitable contributions that qualified for Pennsylvania bank shares tax credits. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) totaled 56.9%, compared to 55.2% for the prior quarter.

The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO increased 9 basis points to 0.48%, and delinquency increased 4 basis points to 0.83%. Overall, asset quality metrics continue to remain at solid levels. The provision for credit losses was $22.3 million, compared to $23.4 million. The fourth quarter of 2024 reflected net charge-offs of $20.6 million, or 0.24% annualized of total average loans, compared to $21.5 million, or 0.25% annualized. The ACL was $422.8 million, an increase of $2.6 million, with the ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases stable at 1.25%.

The effective tax rate was (7.0)%, compared to 21.4%, with the current quarter rate favorably impacted by renewable energy investment tax credits recognized as part of a solar project financing transaction.

The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 10.6% (estimated), compared to 10.4% at September 30, 2024. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $10.49 at December 31, 2024, an increase of $0.16 per share. AOCI reduced the current quarter-end tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.47, compared to a reduction of $0.43 at the end of the prior quarter.

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, operating return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, pre-provision net revenue (reported), operating pre-provision net revenue, operating non-interest income, operating non-interest expense, 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. 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, FDIC special assessment, realized loss on investment securities restructuring, software impairment, loss related to indirect auto loan sales, preferred dividend at redemption and branch consolidation costs are not organic to running our operations and facilities. These items are considered significant items impacting earnings as they are deemed to be outside of ordinary banking activities. 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 2024 and 2023 were calculated using a federal statutory income tax rate of 21%.

• Historically we have grown our business in part through acquisitions, new strategic and business initiatives and new products. Potential risks and uncertainties include those presented by the nature of the business acquired, the strategic or business initiative or the new product, including in some cases those associated with our entry into new business lines or new geographic or other markets and risks resulting from our inexperience in those new areas, as well as risks and uncertainties related to the acquisition transactions themselves, increased scrutiny associated with the regulatory approval process, other regulatory issues stemming from such acquisitions or new initiatives or product lines, the integration of the acquired businesses into us after closing or any failure to execute strategic, risk management or operational plans.

• Legal, regulatory and accounting developments could have an impact on our ability to operate and grow our businesses, financial condition, results of operations, competitive position, and reputation. Reputational impacts could affect matters such as business generation and retention, liquidity, funding, and the ability to attract and retain talent. These developments could include:
  • Policies and priorities of the incoming U.S. presidential administration, including new legislative and regulatory reforms, more aggressive approaches to supervisory or enforcement priorities with consumer and anti-discrimination lending laws by the federal banking regulatory agencies and the DOJ, changes affecting oversight of the financial services industry, regulatory obligations or restrictions, consumer protection, taxes, employee benefits, compensation practices, pension, bankruptcy and other industry aspects, and changes in accounting policies and principles.
  • Ability to continue to attract, develop and retain key talent.

These matters may result in monetary judgments or settlements, enforcement actions or other remedies, including fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in our business practices, including financial and other types of commitments, and in additional expenses and collateral costs, and may cause reputational harm to us.
  • Results of the regulatory examination and supervision process, including our failure to satisfy requirements imposed by the federal bank regulatory agencies or other governmental agencies.
  • Business and operating results that are affected by our ability to effectively identify and manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where appropriate, through effective use of policies, processes, systems and controls, third-party insurance, derivatives, and capital and liquidity management techniques.
