WesBanco Announces Increase in Net Income

WHEELING, W.Va., April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Paul M. Limbert, President and Chief Executive Officer of WesBanco, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Market: WSBC), a Wheeling, West Virginia based multi-state bank holding company, today announced an increase in earnings per share and related net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $16.4 million, compared to $15.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 7.0%, while diluted earnings per share were $0.56, compared to $0.52 per share for the fourth quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 7.7%. As compared to the first quarter of 2013, net income increased 2.5% and diluted earnings per share increased by 1.8%. The increase in net income improved the return on average assets to 1.08% in the first quarter compared to 0.99% in the 2013 fourth quarter, and the return on tangible equity (non-GAAP measure) increased to 15.4% compared to 14.6%. Both ratios are above fourth quarter 2013 peer group averages, the most recent available.

Mr. Limbert commented, "We are very pleased with our first quarter results and operating accomplishments, as well as the opportunity to share the success with our shareholders by increasing the quarterly dividend rate $0.02 per share or 10% to $0.22 per share paid on April 1st. The quarterly dividend has increased 16% since April 1st of last year. WesBanco continued to produce strong earnings in the first quarter of 2014 by increasing net interest income through growth in assets and substantial reductions in cost of funds. Significant improvements in trust fees and securities brokerage revenue contributed to revenue growth. Credit quality improvements again reduced non-performing, delinquent, criticized and classified loans. To provide additional opportunity to grow loans and deposits, we opened two new branches in the Columbus market over the past few months and we are currently constructing another branch in the southern portion of the Pittsburgh market. While we were improving our branch network, substantial data processing and other infrastructure improvements completed in 2013 have contributed to our ability to control growth in expenses."

Financial Condition

Total assets at March 31, 2014 increased 2.7% or $162.1 million from March 31, 2013, primarily due to loan growth. Portfolio loans increased $203.3 million or 5.5% over the last year. Loan growth was achieved through $1.5 billion in loan originations over the last twelve months. This represents an increase of 8.5% in loan originations compared to the previous twelve months. Loan growth was centered in commercial real estate, C&I and residential real estate lending as a result of improved economic conditions, increased business activity in markets impacted by Marcellus and Utica shale gas drilling, expansion into the Pittsburgh market, additional lending personnel and continued improvement in loan origination processes. Loan growth was funded primarily by growth in deposits and by maturing securities. Deposits increased $209.5 million or 4.2% from March 31, 2013, some of which was the result of deposits for Marcellus and Utica shale gas payments. All deposit types increased except certificates of deposit, which decreased $162.6 million due to lower rate offerings for maturing CDs. Available deposit funding and maturities in the investment portfolio were also used to reduce higher cost borrowings by 24.8%, further reducing the cost of funds. Total assets at March 31, 2014 were relatively unchanged compared to 2013 year-end, as were total loans. Loan growth was tempered by weather-related delays in anticipated advances on commercial real estate construction loans, continued prudent underwriting and pricing of new loans, and a focus on achieving greater diversification of the loan portfolio. However, the commercial loan and residential mortgage pipeline has strengthened during the first quarter of 2014.

WesBanco continues to maintain strong regulatory capital ratios. At March 31, 2014, tier I leverage was 9.45%, tier I risk-based capital was 13.30%, and total risk-based capital was 14.40%, which all improved from March 31, 2013. Both consolidated and bank-level regulatory capital ratios are well above the applicable "well-capitalized" standards promulgated by bank regulators, as well as the recently finalized fully-implemented BASEL III capital standards. Total tangible equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP measure) was 7.49% at March 31, 2014, up from 7.04% at March 31, 2013. Strong earnings and improved total capital have enabled WesBanco to increase the quarterly dividend rate, currently at $0.22 per share, seven times over the last four years, cumulatively representing a 57% increase. The most recent increase was $0.02 per share in the first quarter of 2014.

Credit Quality

Total non-performing loans at March 31, 2014 were $50.9 million or 1.31% of total loans, which represents a 1.1% decrease from December 31, 2013 and a 19.4% decrease from $63.1 million or 1.71% of total loans at March 31, 2013. Criticized and classified loans decreased 4.7% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 to $129.3 million, or 3.33% of total loans at March 31, 2014. Over the last twelve months criticized and classified loans decreased 23.1% from $168.1 million and 4.56% of total loans last year.

Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2014 were 0.43% of average portfolio loans, compared to 0.34% for the first quarter of 2013. The average over the last twelve months was 0.40%. As a result of the continued improvement in delinquent, non-performing and classified and criticized loans, the provision for credit losses decreased to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, and it was nearly unchanged from $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.17% of total portfolio loans at March 31, 2014, compared to 1.22% at December 31, 2013 and 1.40% at the end of the 2013 first quarter.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $1.2 million or 2.6% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, due to a 3.1% increase in average earning assets through increased average loan balances. The net interest margin was nearly unchanged at 3.63% compared to 3.64% in the first quarter of 2013. Accretion of various purchase accounting adjustments from the 2012 acquisition also benefited the net interest margin throughout 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, but at a decreasing rate. Excluding this benefit from both periods, the net interest margin increased by 8 basis points from the first quarter of 2013, from 3.50% to 3.58%. The improved adjusted net interest margin in the current low interest rate environment was assisted by the aforementioned loan growth, as rates earned on loans are higher than securities. In addition, funding costs continued to decrease as a result of a 30.1% reduction in higher-rate average FHLB and other borrowings, primarily through maturities, and a 9.3% increase in lower-cost demand, money market and savings account deposits, while higher-cost CDs decreased by 8.5%. Overall average deposits increased by 3.4% from last year's first quarter.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

For the first quarter of 2014, non-interest income decreased $0.4 million or 2.6% compared to the first quarter of 2013. The decrease was due to a $1.1 million bank-owned life insurance death benefit in the first quarter of 2013. Excluding this benefit, non-interest income increased $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. Trust fees increased 12.6% as assets under management continued to increase from customer development initiatives and overall market improvements. Total trust assets were $3.8 billion at March 31, 2014, representing an increase of 8.7% from $3.5 billion at March 31, 2013. Net securities brokerage revenues increased 22.2%, due to significant production increases from existing markets, the 2013 deployment of an advisor team in the Pittsburgh market, the addition of support and producing staff in several regions, as well as an increase in referrals and production from a licensed retail banker program. Electronic banking fees continued to grow, up 5.1% for the first quarter of 2014. Service charges on deposits decreased 8.0% compared to the first quarter of 2013, due to lower overdraft fees that are affected by lower seasonal usage patterns, consistent increases in deposit levels and higher average deposits per account. Mortgage loan sale gains decreased 78.4% as increasing interest rates reduced refinancings resulting in lower production and, in addition, the percentage of mortgage loans retained for the portfolio increased. Mortgage activity was also impacted by the recently-adopted Qualified Mortgage and Ability-to-Repay rules, which have somewhat limited our product offerings.

Non-interest expense decreased $0.7 million or 1.6% for the first quarter compared to the first quarter of 2013, partially due to merger-related expenses of $1.2 million incurred in the first quarter of 2013. Total non-interest expense would have only increased $0.5 million or 1.3% for the quarter without these merger-related expenses. Salaries and wages increased 4.1%, due to routine annual adjustments to compensation, increased commissions on higher brokerage revenue and increased incentive and stock-related compensation. Employee benefits expense decreased 10.0%, primarily from decreased pension expense, partially offset by increased health insurance costs. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased due to higher weather-related expenses, the opening of two branches over the last two quarters and improvements in internal infrastructure including data processing, communication and teller equipment in the second half of last year. However, despite these increases, overall efficiency remained at 60.6% for the quarter, the same as last year.
