Returns on average common equity ("ROE") and average assets ("ROA") for the first quarter 2012 were 7.72% and 0.84%, respectively, compared with 7.70% and 0.83%, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2011 and 7.37% and 0.78% for the first quarter 2011.
"Our first quarter performance reflects continued credit improvements in our already strong asset quality, active loan growth to both businesses and consumers in the markets we serve and sustained increases in core deposits," said Paul G. Greig, chairman, president and CEO of FirstMerit Corporation. "I am pleased with our solid results in an economic and regulatory environment that continues to challenge. By sticking to sound banking principles, FirstMerit continues to take market share, grow organically and reinforce its reputation as a solid financial resource for our customers and shareholders."
Net interest margin was 3.78% for the first quarter of 2012 compared with 3.85% for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 4.01% for the first quarter of 2011. The net interest margin compressed 7 basis points compared with the fourth quarter of 2011 with earning asset yields declining 10 basis points offset by three basis points of improved funding costs. An increase in average noncovered loans and investments along with lower funding costs driven by continued growth of core deposits helped to mitigate downward margin pressure in the first quarter. The decline in net interest margin compared with the first quarter of 2011 is attributed to pressure on earning asset yields throughout the year under an interest rate environment of persistent low rates.
Average loans, not including covered loans, during the first quarter of 2012 increased $107.5 million, or 1.40%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased $579.9 million, or 8.05%, compared with the first quarter of 2011. Average commercial loans increased $93.6 million, or 1.85%, compared with the prior quarter, and increased $589.3 million, or 12.94%, compared with the year ago quarter. Commercial loans remain the primary driver in average loan portfolio growth, however, average consumer loans increased moderately for the third consecutive quarter.
Average deposits were $11.5 billion during the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $55.5 million, or 0.49%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2011, and an increase of $152.2 million, or 1.34%, compared with the first quarter of 2011. During the first quarter 2012, average core deposits, which exclude time deposits, increased $203.6 million, or 2.13%, compared with the fourth quarter 2011 and increased $1.1 billion, or 12.45%, compared with the first quarter 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, growth in checking, money market and savings account products continued with less emphasis on renewing maturing certificate of deposit accounts. This strategy to increase the concentration of lower cost deposits within the overall deposit mix was initiated to efficiently fund balance sheet growth and to deepen and extend the length of customer relationships. Average time deposits decreased $148.1 million, or 8.04%, and decreased $930.4 million, or 35.45%, respectively, over prior and year-ago quarters.
Average investments increased $210.3 million, or 6.04%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased $271.1 million, or 7.93% compared with the first quarter of 2011. The increase over both time periods reflects the Corporation's continued execution of its previously announced portfolio repositioning.
Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent ("FTE") basis was $121.4 million in the first quarter 2012 compared with $123.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $124.2 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Noninterest income excluding securities transactions for the first quarter of 2012 was $51.5 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 4.60%, from the fourth quarter of 2011 and a decrease of $1.3 million, or 2.45%, from the first quarter of 2011. Loans sales and servicing income increased $1.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2011 and $3.9 million from the first quarter of 2011. Other operating income in the first quarter of 2012 decreased $3.0 million, compared with the prior quarter, which included $2.7 million of insurance reimbursement of legal costs incurred and previously expensed. Other operating income in the first quarter of 2012 decreased $1.3 million compared with the prior year quarter, which included $2.9 million in gains on covered loans paid in full.
Other income, net of $0.3 million in securities gains, as a percentage of net revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was 29.77% compared with 30.38% for fourth quarter of 2011 and 29.81% for the first quarter of 2011. Net revenue is defined as net interest income, on an FTE basis, plus other income, less gains from securities sales.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2012 was $113.8 million, a decrease of $10.1 million, or 8.16%, from the fourth quarter of 2011 and a decrease of $0.7 million, or 0.59%, from the first quarter of 2011. Included in other operating expense in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $4.9 million of fees related to the early termination of repurchase agreements and FHLB advances as part of the Corporation's investment portfolio repositioning strategy and $1.3 million of expense related to an increase in the liability associated with the sale of the Corporation's Visa® Class B shares in 2008.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Corporation reported an efficiency ratio of 65.52%, compared with 69.46% for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 64.37% for the first quarter of 2011.
