INDIANA, Pa., July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First Commonwealth Financial Corporation (NYSE: FCF) today reported net income of $13.5 million, or $0.15 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of $18.6 million, or $0.22 per share, in the second quarter of 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income was $0.4 million, compared to a net loss of $16.9 million or $0.20 per share in the first six months of 2009.  The increase in net income was primarily the result of improved net interest income, a lower provision for credit losses, a decrease in net securities impairment losses on investments in pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations and a decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") premiums due to the special assessment of $2.9 million recorded in the second quarter 2009.

John J. Dolan, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are very pleased to report favorable financial results for the second quarter. We have made significant progress toward the resolution of the relatively small number of troubled credits that have caused disproportionate earnings pressure over the last few quarters and have obscured very favorable trends in substantially all other areas of our community banking operations. I couldn’t be more proud of how well First Commonwealth employees are performing during this unprecedented economic period as we continue to move the organization forward."

Credit Quality

The provision for credit losses was $4.0 million and $49.0 million for the second quarter and year to date periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The primary components of provision expense for the quarter were:

  • A $2.7 million specific reserve for a $3.7 million line of credit to a food processing company located in Pennsylvania.
  • An additional specific reserve of $1.8 million for a $39.6 million condominium construction project in south Florida based upon updated appraisal values. During the second quarter of 2010 this loan was substantially charged-off by $34.2 million and we are in the process of exercising default remedies.
  • Resolution of three other credits that provided $3.6 million from either recoveries on previously charged-off loans or release of previously established specific reserves. Included in the $3.6 million is $2.7 million of proceeds from bankruptcy proceedings on two loans and $0.9 million on a troubled loan that paid off.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, nonperforming loans decreased $34.2 million to $133.2 million from March 31, 2010 primarily a result of the $34.2 million credit loss on the previously mentioned Florida condominium construction loan. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 3.00%, 3.64% and 1.81% for the periods ended June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Other real estate owned ("OREO") acquired through foreclosure was $21.5 million at June 30, 2010 and $18.4 million is related to one property that is currently under a sales agreement.

During the second quarter of 2010, net credit losses were $34.7 million compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2009; $34.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 was related to the aforementioned Florida condominium construction loan. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 net credit losses were $42.6 million, or 1.87% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $26.2 million, or 1.18%, for the same period in 2009. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.99%, 2.58% and 1.83% for June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Net Interest Income and Net Margin

During the second quarter of 2010 net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $0.7 million, or 1%, compared to the second quarter of 2009. The increase was a result of a 15 basis point increase in the net interest margin, partially offset by a decline in average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin was 3.88%, 3.87% and 3.73% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The improved net interest margin is the result of a more favorable deposit mix, improved loan pricing and reduced balance sheet leveraging. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $2.8 million, or 3%. The increase was due to a 16 basis point increase in the net interest margin, partially offset by a decline in average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was 3.88% and 3.72%.

Mr. Dolan added, "We have made noteworthy progress over the past twelve months to reduce the risk of our balance sheet by lowering our dependence on wholesale funding, reducing our exposure to large sized and out-of-market loans and problem credits. This will remain a major strategic focus going forward, will position us to capitalize on growth opportunities as economic conditions improve and will be more conducive to our community bank mission and philosophy."

Significant changes to First Commonwealth's balance sheet from the quarter to date average balances at June 30, 2009 to the comparable period at June 30, 2010 include:

  • A $488.7 million, or 36%, reduction in average borrowings, driven by a $273.8 million, or 20%, decrease in average investment securities and a $304.7 million, or 7%, growth in average deposits. The decline in investment securities is the result of maturities and selective sales as the risk/reward for balance sheet leveraging activities has become less attractive in the current interest rate environment.
  • An increase of $40.5 million in average loans. The modest increase is a result of planned decreases in residential real estate loans, more disciplined underwriting guidelines concerning geography and size for commercial loans and weak borrower demand, generally, in the recessionary economic environment.
  • Continued improvement in the mix of deposits, as a $431.7 million, or 16%, growth in lower costing transaction and savings deposits has more than offset a $127.0 million decrease in time deposits.

Non-Interest Income

Recognized net security losses, which includes net impairment losses and net securities gains, were $1.5 million, $2.3 million and $8.7 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. These losses resulted primarily from other-than-temporary impairment charges on investments in pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations. Net security losses for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 include $0.6 million of realized gains from the sale and calls of municipal securities and equity securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, net security losses were $3.9 million and $18.5 million, respectively.

The company’s pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations consist of 14 securities comprised of 371 banks and other financial institutions. Two pooled securities are senior tranches and the remaining 12 are mezzanine tranches. As of June 30, 2010, the book value of pooled securities totaled $64.4 million with an estimated fair value of $28.7 million. In the second quarter of 2010, a $2.0 million other-than-temporary impairment charge was recorded for three trust preferred collateralized debt obligations that are expected to experience a principal shortfall. The amount of impairment charge recognized represents the expected credit loss on these securities.

Non-interest income, excluding net security losses, decreased $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period last year primarily due to a $2.1 million gain from a favorable legal settlement recorded in other income in the second quarter of 2009.  All other categories in non-interest income improved from the year ago period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, non-interest income, excluding net security losses, was essentially flat at $28.0 million when compared to the same period of 2009. Trust and insurance income increased $1.0 million as a result of increased market values of assets under management and higher commissions on annuity sales, as additional producers and an enhanced calling program yielded higher sales. Card-related interchange income increased $1.0 million due to growth in usage of debit cards, increased demand deposit accounts and larger dollar transactions. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $0.5 million due to increased overdraft and  account analysis fees, and the addition of new demand deposit customers. Income from bank owned life insurance increased $0.4 million as a result of higher crediting rates. Offsetting these increases was the aforementioned $2.1 million gain from a legal settlement in the second quarter of 2009.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense decreased $1.7 million, or 4%, in the second quarter of 2010 from the second quarter of 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the same period last year, non-interest expense decreased $1.8 million, or 2%. Contributing to these decreases were an expense reduction initiative in 2009, declines in FDIC insurance due to the special assessment of $2.9 million recorded in the second quarter 2009 and $0.9 million of collection and repossession expenses primarily related to two loans that were transferred to other real estate owned in the first quarter of 2009. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in data processing, software and maintenance expense of $1.1 million due to higher investments in technology solutions and a $2.2 million write-down to current fair value for an OREO property that is currently under a sales agreement.

Full time equivalent staff was 1,605 and 1,675 for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The efficiency ratio, calculated as total non-interest expense as a percentage of total revenue (total revenue consists of net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, plus total non-interest income, excluding net impairment losses), improved to 62% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from 65% during the same period in 2009.
