First Commonwealth Financial delivered a mixed third quarter, posting earnings per share of $0.39 and revenue of $135.98 million that fell short of Wall Street expectations on both counts, missing the $0.41 EPS consensus by 5.45% and the $136.83 mill… Read more First Commonwealth Financial delivered a mixed third quarter, posting earnings per share of $0.39 and revenue of $135.98 million that fell short of Wall Street expectations on both counts, missing the $0.41 EPS consensus by 5.45% and the $136.83 million revenue estimate by 0.62%, while revenue declined 24.0% from the year-ago period. The headline miss, however, obscured meaningful underlying progress; net interest income climbed to $111.12 million, up sharply from $96.52 million a year ago, as the net interest margin expanded 36 basis points year-over-year to 3.92%, driven by lower funding costs and the expiration of macro swaps. GAAP net income rose to $41.33 million, or $0.39 per share, compared with $32.09 million and $0.31 per share in the prior-year quarter. The quarter was not without blemishes, as net charge-offs surged to $12.25 million from $2.76 million in Q2, largely reflecting a $5.50 million charge-off on a commercial floorplan relationship. The company also raised its quarterly dividend to $0.14 per share, a 3.9% increase from a year ago.

Key Takeaways

  • • Net interest margin expansion to 3.92%, up 9 basis points sequentially and 36 basis points year-over-year
  • • Lower cost of funds contributed 8 basis points of improvement to net interest margin
  • • Average loan growth of 9.4% annualized from the prior quarter
  • • Average deposit growth of 4.0% annualized from the prior quarter
  • • Core efficiency ratio improved to 52.3% from 54.1% in the prior quarter
  • • Disciplined expense management with noninterest expense (excluding merger costs) up only $0.4 million sequentially
  • • Expiration of $25 million in macro swaps contributed 2 basis points to NIM improvement
