- Core pre-tax pre-provision net revenue (PPNR)(1) totaled $36.5 million, a decrease of $4.3 million from the previous quarter and a decrease of $8.5 million from the first quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of declines in income related to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and noninterest income

- Noninterest income of $24.0 million decreased $2.1 million from the previous quarter due primarily to a $0.7 million decrease in gain on sale of Mortgage loans, a $0.6 million decrease in card-related interchange income, a $0.6 million decrease in the derivative mark-to-market adjustment on interest rate swaps, and a $0.4 million decrease in fee income related to new interest rate swaps

“We delivered a strong quarter of broad-based loan growth and solid financial results in the first quarter,” stated T. Michael Price, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Growth in commercial and consumer real estate lending along with a resilient indirect auto business produced annualized loan growth of 8.8%. While we did experience an anticipated slowdown in fee income from record levels in our Mortgage business, our asset sensitive balance sheet is well positioned for a rising interest rate environment. I am also pleased to report our de novo Equipment Finance business booked its first loans during the quarter. We expect this business to serve as another source of growth and an added benefit for our clients and shareholders for years to come.”
Earnings
Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $27.7 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to $34.8 million, or $0.37 per share in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $39.8 million, or $0.41 per share for the first quarter of 2021.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (FTE) of $68.4 million decreased $2.1 million from the previous quarter and $1.3 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in fees and interest on PPP loans. Interest and fee income recognized on PPP loans totaled $1.8 million in the first quarter as compared to $4.1 million in the prior quarter.
The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022 was 3.19%, a decrease of four basis points from the previous quarter and a decrease of 21 basis points from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2021 was due primarily to the aforementioned decrease in interest and fees on PPP loans partially offset by an eight basis point increase in the yield on investment securities and a two basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing demand and savings deposits.
Total average deposits grew $69.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the previous quarter. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits grew $98.1 million, which was partially offset by a $21.0 million decrease in average time deposits.
Asset Quality
Provision expense in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $2.0 million, an increase of $4.7 million from a negative provision of ($2.7 million) in the previous quarter.
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) as a percentage of end-of-period loans (excluding PPP loans) was 1.32% in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 1.37% in the previous quarter.
At March 31, 2022, nonperforming loans totaled $37.5 million, a decrease of $17.7 million from the previous quarter and a decrease of $12.9 million from the previous year quarter. Nonperforming loans represented 0.54% of total loans (excluding PPP) as of March 31, 2022, down from 0.81% and 0.80% for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.
At March 31, 2022, criticized loans totaled $174.1 million, a decrease of $24.1 million from the previous quarter.
During the first quarter of 2022, net charge-offs/(recoveries) were $1.1 million, compared to ($1.1) million in the prior quarter and $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. Net charge-offs were 0.07%, (0.06%) and 0.20% of average loans (annualized) for the periods ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income totaled $24.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, as compared to $26.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $27.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 (excluding net securities gains). There were no material securities gains during the current or comparable quarters.
The $2.1 million decrease from the previous quarter was primarily driven by a $0.7 million decline in Mortgage gain on sale income and a $0.6 million seasonal decrease in card-related interchange income from the previous quarter, as well as a $0.6 million decrease in the derivative mark-to-market adjustment on interest rate swaps (as a result of changes in fair value due to movement in bond spreads, swap rates and counterparty credit risk) and a $0.4 million decrease in fee income related to new interest rate swaps (due to lower commercial demand). These declines were partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in the gain on sale of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.
Noninterest expense totaled $55.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, as compared to $55.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $51.9 million for the first quarter of 2021. The $0.3 million increase from the previous quarter was primarily the result of an $0.8 million increase in net occupancy expense due, in part, to seasonally higher snow removal expense partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in salaries and benefits due to lower hospitalization and incentive payouts.
The core efficiency ratio was 59.47% during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 57.06% in the previous quarter and 53.18% in the first quarter of 2021.
Full time equivalent staff was 1,432 at March 31, 2022, 1,426 at December 31, 2021, and 1,387 at March 31, 2021.
Dividends and Capital
First Commonwealth Financial Corporation declared a common stock quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, which represents a 4.3% increase from the previous quarter. The cash dividend is payable on May 20, 2022 to shareholders of record as of May 6, 2022. This dividend represents a 3.3% projected annual yield utilizing the April 25, 2022 closing market price of $14.41.
First Commonwealth’s capital ratios for Total, Tier I, Leverage and Common Equity Tier I at March 31, 2022 were 14.7%, 12.2%, 9.8% and 11.3% respectively. First Commonwealth’s current capital levels exceed the fully phased-in Basel III capital requirements issued by U.S. bank regulators.
