Reports Record Tangible Common Equity Ratio (non-GAAP) of 8.0% and Strong Non-Interest Income of $87.9 Million PITTSBURGH, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE:FNB) reported earnings for the first quarter of 2024 with net income available to common stockholders of $116.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share. Comparatively, first quarter of 2023 net income available to common stockholders totaled $144.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted common share, and fourth quarter of 2023 net income available to common stockholders totaled $48.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share. On an operating basis, first quarter of 2024 earnings per diluted common share (non-GAAP) was $0.34, excluding $0.02 of significant items impacting earnings per diluted common share. By comparison, the first quarter of 2023 was $0.40 per diluted common share (non-GAAP) on an operating basis, excluding less than $0.01 of significant items impacting earnings per diluted common share. The fourth quarter of 2023 was $0.38 per diluted common share (non-GAAP) on an operating basis, excluding $0.25 of significant items impacting earnings per diluted common share. "F.N.B. Corporation reported a solid first quarter performance resulting in operating earnings per diluted common share (non-GAAP) of $0.34. A key contributor to our earnings this quarter was a near-record level of non-interest income totaling $88 million as Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Treasury Management and Mortgage Banking produced strong results. FNB's continued profitability grew our capital base and led to a record tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP) of 8%. Tangible book value (non-GAAP) grew 11%, year-over-year, reaching an all-time high of $9.64. We also are very pleased with our strong credit results in this environment which is a testament to our risk management culture," said F.N.B. Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Vincent J. Delie, Jr. "FNB's investments in digital technology and data science continue to be at the center of our desire to gain efficiency and execute on our client acquisition strategy. FNB experienced growth in the number of customers and prospects opening multiple accounts since adding deposit products to our eStore® platform in December 2023, contributing to FNB's year-over-year growth of 6% and 2% for loans and deposits, respectively. FNB's unique digital and data strategies are key to our continued success driving customer expansion and primacy, increasing product penetration and delivering an innovative and comprehensive banking experience for our consumer, wealth management and commercial clients." First Quarter 2024 Highlights(All comparisons refer to the first quarter of 2023, except as noted) Period-end total loans and leases increased $1.9 billion, or 6.2%. Commercial loans and leases increased $1.0 billion, or 5.3%, and consumer loans increased $873.8 million, or 7.8%. FNB's organic 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 $261.4 million, or 3.3% annualized, with an increase in consumer loans of $208.7 million and commercial loans and leases of $52.6 million. Period-end total deposits increased $545.3 million, or 1.6%. The mix of non-interest-bearing deposits to total deposits equaled 29% at March 31, 2024, compared to 33% at March 31, 2023, and 29% at December 31, 2023, as customers continue to migrate deposits into higher-yielding deposit products. On a linked-quarter basis, period-end total deposits slightly increased $24.5 million, or 0.3% annualized, even with the seasonal outflows during the current quarter. Net interest income totaled $319.0 million, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 1.5%, from the prior quarter, primarily due to one less day in the current quarter as well as higher deposit costs from continued balance migration to higher yielding deposit products and higher total average borrowings, largely offset by higher earning asset yields. On a linked-quarter basis, net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) decreased 3 basis points to 3.18% as a 15 basis point increase in the total yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) to 5.40% was more than offset by a 19 basis point increase in total cost of funds to 2.33%. Non-interest income totaled $87.9 million, benefiting from our diversified business model with strong contributions from Mortgage Banking, Capital Markets and record Wealth Management revenues. The ratio of non-performing loans and other real estate owned (OREO) to total loans and OREO decreased 5 basis points to 0.33%. Total delinquency increased 4 basis points to 0.64%. Both measures continue to remain at or near historically low levels. FDIC insurance expense of $12.7 million included a $4.4 million estimated FDIC special assessment. The special assessment was considered a significant item impacting earnings as it reflected further replenishment of the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the failed banks in early 2023 based on updated loss information from the FDIC. Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) regulatory capital ratio was a record 10.2% (estimated), compared to 10.0% at both March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2023. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) of $9.64 increased $0.98, or 11.3%, compared to March 31, 2023, and $0.17, or 1.8%, compared to December 31, 2023. Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss (AOCI) reduced the tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.70 as of March 31, 2024, primarily due to the impact of interest rates on the fair value of available-for-sale (AFS) securities, compared to a reduction of $0.87 as of March 31, 2023, and $0.65 as of December 31, 2023. On February 15, 2024, FNB redeemed all of its outstanding Series E Perpetual Preferred Stock and the final preferred dividend of $2.0 million was paid on the redemption date. The excess of the redemption value over the carrying value on the Series E Perpetual Preferred Stock of $4.0 million was considered a significant item impacting earnings.

(2) Estimated for 1Q24.   First Quarter 2024 Results – Comparison to Prior-Year Quarter(All comparisons refer to the first quarter of 2023, except as noted) Net interest income totaled $319.0 million, a decrease of $17.6 million, or 5.2%, primarily due to higher deposit costs, including migration to higher yielding deposit products, as well as higher total average borrowings, partially offset by growth in earning assets and higher earning asset yields. Total average earning assets increased $2.0 billion, or 5.3%, driven by a $2.0 billion increase in average loans and leases from organic origination activity. Total average borrowings increased $1.8 billion due to maintaining additional liquidity on the balance sheet following the banking industry disruption in 2023 and in a continued effort to support strong loan growth. The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) decreased 38 basis points to 3.18%. The yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) increased 72 basis points to 5.40%, primarily due to higher yields on loans, investment securities and interest-bearing deposits with banks reflecting the higher interest rate environment. Total cost of funds increased 115 basis points to 2.33% with a 132 basis point increase in interest-bearing deposit costs to 2.82%, as well as an increase of 28 basis points in long-term debt costs which include the impact of additional liquidity following the banking industry disruption in 2023. Total cumulative spot deposit beta since the current interest rate increases began in March of 2022 equaled 36% at March 31, 2024.  Average loans and leases totaled $32.4 billion, an increase of $2.0 billion, or 6.5%, including growth of $1.1 billion in commercial loans and leases and $0.9 billion in consumer loans. Commercial real estate led the average commercial growth with an increase of $755.1 million, or 6.6%, primarily due to funding on existing construction projects. Commercial and industrial loans increased $225.3 million, or 3.1%, and commercial leases increased $124.3 million, or 23.3%. The increase in average commercial loans and leases was driven by organic growth across the footprint, particularly in the Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Cleveland and Raleigh markets. The increase in average consumer loans included a $1.3 billion increase in residential mortgages that largely reflected the adjustable-rate mortgages retained on the balance sheet, reflecting the continued success of the Physicians First mortgage program. This was partially offset by a decrease in indirect auto loans of $401.8 million reflecting the sale of $332 million of indirect auto loans that closed in the first quarter of 2024. Average deposits totaled $34.2 billion, consistent with the prior-year quarter. The growth in average time deposits of $2.1 billion offset the decline in average non-interest-bearing demand deposits of $1.5 billion and average savings deposits of $611.7 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 deposits comprising 29% of total deposits at March 31, 2024, compared to 33% a year ago. Non-interest income totaled $87.9 million, a 10.7% increase compared to $79.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. Mortgage Banking operations income increased $3.1 million, driven by improved gain on sale from strong production volumes. Wealth Management revenues were at record levels and increased $1.6 million, or 8.8%, as securities commissions and fees and trust income increased 10.5% and 7.7%, respectively, through continued strong contributions across the geographic footprint. Dividends on non-marketable equity securities increased $2.1 million, reflecting higher FHLB dividends due to additional borrowings. Insurance commissions and fees decreased $1.0 million, or 13.3%, with lower contingent revenues compared to the year-ago quarter. Non-interest expense totaled $237.1 million, increasing $17.2 million, or 7.8%. When adjusting for $3.0 million1 of significant items in the first quarter of 2024 and $2.1 million2 in the first quarter of 2023, operating non-interest expense (non-GAAP) totaled $234.1 million, an increase of $16.2 million, or 7.5%. Salaries and benefits increased $8.9 million, or 7.4%, primarily from normal annual merit increases and higher production-related commissions from strong non-interest income activity. Net occupancy and equipment increased $3.9 million, or 10.0%, largely from technology-related investments. Outside services increased $3.5 million, or 18.0%, with higher volume-related technology and third-party costs. The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO decreased 5 basis points to 0.33%. Total delinquency increased 4 basis points to 0.64%, compared to 0.60% at March 31, 2023. Both measures continue to remain at or near historically low levels. The provision for credit losses was $13.9 million, compared to $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2023. The first quarter of 2024 reflected net charge-offs of $12.8 million, or 0.16% annualized of total average loans, compared to $13.2 million, or 0.18% annualized. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $406.3 million, an increase of $2.9 million, with the ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases decreasing 7 basis points to 1.25% reflecting net loan growth and charge-off activity. The effective tax rate was 21.5%, compared to 19.5% in the first quarter of 2023, due to lower stock compensation vesting deductions and higher levels of proportional amortization on certain tax credit investments. The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 10.2% (estimated) at March 31, 2024, and 10.0% at March 31, 2023. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $9.64 at March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.98, or 11.3%, from $8.66 at March 31, 2023. AOCI reduced the current quarter tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.70, compared to a reduction of $0.87 at the end of the year-ago quarter. On February 15, 2024, FNB redeemed all of its outstanding Series E Perpetual Preferred Stock. 1 First quarter 2024 non-interest expense significant items of $3.0 million included $1.2 million (pre-tax) of branch consolidation costs and $4.4 million (pre-tax) of FDIC special assessment, partially offset by a ($2.6 million) (pre-tax) reduction to the previously estimated loss on the indirect auto loan sale. 2 First quarter 2023 non-interest expense significant items included $2.1 million (pre-tax) of merger expenses. First Quarter 2024 Results – Comparison to Prior Quarter(All comparisons refer to the fourth quarter of 2023, except as noted) Net interest income totaled $319.0 million, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 1.5%, from the prior quarter total of $324.0 million, primarily due to one less day in the quarter, higher deposit costs and continued migration to higher yielding deposit products, largely offset by higher earning asset yields. The total yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) increased 15 basis points to 5.40% due to higher yields on both loans and investment securities. The total cost of funds increased 19 basis points to 2.33%, as the cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 17 basis points to 2.82% and the total cost of borrowings increased 30 basis points to 4.87%. The resulting net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) decreased 3 basis points to 3.18%. Average loans and leases totaled $32.4 billion, an increase of $113.4 million, or 1.4% annualized, as commercial loans and leases increased $253.8 million, or 5.0% annualized, offsetting the decrease in consumer loans of $140.4 million, or 4.7% annualized. The increase in average commercial loans and leases was led by growth of $303.2 million, or 10.2%, in commercial real estate loans which more than offset a decrease of $57.7 million, or 3.1%, in commercial and industrial loans. The organic quarterly growth in commercial loans and leases was led by the Raleigh, South Carolina and Cleveland markets. For consumer lending, average residential mortgages increased $216.2 million, driven by growth in adjustable-rate mortgages which was more than offset by indirect auto loans decreasing $328.4 million due to the impact of the sale of $332 million of indirect auto loans that closed in the first quarter of 2024. Average deposits totaled $34.2 billion, decreasing $220.5 million, or 2.6% annualized, due to the seasonal outflows of deposits in the first half of the quarter. Average certificates of deposits increased $499.9 million which were offset by declines in non-interest-bearing deposits of $483.9 million, savings balances of $119.7 million and interest-bearing deposits of $116.9 million, resulting from customers' preferences for higher-yielding deposit products. On a spot basis, total deposit balances increased slightly from the prior quarter. The mix of non-interest-bearing deposits to total deposits was 29% at March 31, 2024, flat compared to the prior quarter. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 93.8% at March 31, 2024, relatively stable compared to 93.1%. Non-interest income totaled $87.9 million, compared to $13.1 million in the prior quarter. On an operating basis (non-GAAP), the first quarter of 2024 non-interest income increased $7.4 million, or 9.2%, when adjusting for the $67.4 million realized loss (pre-tax) on the investment securities restructuring in the prior quarter. Insurance commissions and fees increased $2.5 million, or 58.0%, largely driven by seasonal contingent revenues. Wealth Management revenues totaled $19.6 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 12.0%, with record revenues in both trust income of $11.4 million and securities commissions and fees of $8.2 million. Non-interest expense totaled $237.1 million compared to $265.6 million in the prior quarter. When adjusting for significant items of $3.0 million3 in the first quarter of 2024 and $46.6 million4 in the fourth quarter of 2023, non-interest expense increased $15.2 million, or 6.9%, on an operating basis (non-GAAP). Salaries and employee benefits increased $15.0 million, primarily related to normal seasonal long-term compensation expense of $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 as well as seasonally higher employer-paid payroll taxes which increased $4.6 million linked-quarter and reduced salary deferrals given lower loan origination volumes. Bank shares and franchise taxes increased $2.5 million due to the timing of charitable contributions that qualified for Pennsylvania bank shares tax credits in the prior quarter. Marketing expenses increased $1.2 million, or 27.7%, due to the timing of marketing campaigns. The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO decreased 1 basis point to 0.33% and delinquency decreased 6 basis points to 0.64%. Both measures continue to remain at or near historically low levels. The provision for credit losses was $13.9 million, compared to $13.2 million. The first quarter of 2024 reflected net charge-offs of $12.8 million, or 0.16% annualized of total average loans, compared to $8.2 million, or 0.10% annualized. The ACL was $406.3 million, an increase of $0.7 million, with the ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases totaling 1.25% at both March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The effective tax rate was 21.5%, compared to 13.1%, with the prior quarter having lower than statutory rates due to renewable energy investment tax credit benefits as part of a solar project financing transaction that closed in 2023. The prior quarter was also impacted by lower pre-tax income levels given the significant items.4 The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 10.2% (estimated), an increase from 10.0% at December 31, 2023. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $9.64 at March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.17 per share. AOCI reduced the current quarter-end tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.70 compared to a reduction of $0.65 at the end of the prior quarter. 3 First quarter 2024 non-interest expense significant items of $3.0 million included $1.2 million (pre-tax) of branch consolidation costs and $4.4 million (pre-tax) of FDIC special assessment, partially offset by a ($2.6 million) (pre-tax) reduction to the previously estimated loss on the indirect auto loan sale. 4 Fourth quarter 2023 non-interest expense significant items included $29.9 million (pre-tax) of FDIC special assessment and $16.7 million (pre-tax) estimated loss on the indirect auto loan sale. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance IndicatorsTo 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 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. 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, FDIC special assessment, realized loss on securities restructuring, loss on indirect auto loan sale, preferred deemed dividend at redemption 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. 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 2024 and 2023 periods were calculated using a federal statutory income tax rate of 21%.
