Successful acquisition of Premier Financial combined with strong organic loan and deposit growth

WHEELING, W.Va., April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- WesBanco, Inc. ("WesBanco" or "Company") (NASDAQ:WSBC), a diversified, multi-state bank holding company, today announced net income and related earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which included the closing of the previously announced Premier Financial Corp. ("PFC") acquisition. WesBanco reported a net loss available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2025 of $11.5 million, or $(0.15) per share, which reflected the impact of a day one provision for credit losses and other expenses related to the acquisition, as compared to net income of $33.2 million, or $0.56 per share, for the first quarter of 2024. As noted in the following table, net income available to common shareholders, excluding after-tax day one provision for credit losses on acquired loans and restructuring and merger-related expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $51.2 million, or $0.66 per share, as compared to $33.2 million, or $0.56 per share, in the prior year period (non-GAAP measures).

Under the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") accounting standard, which ensures a forward-looking approach to credit risk, WesBanco was required to estimate and record expected credit losses over the life of the acquired PFC loans. At March 31, 2025, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $88.5 million and a $59.4 million provision for the acquired loan portfolio. This required day one provision for credit losses on acquired loans is considered a non-recurring earnings impact as it is associated with the closing of the PFC acquisition and not indicative of operational or credit quality trends. The first quarter provision for credit losses was $68.9 million and the allowance for credit losses was $233.6 million at March 31^st, which provided a coverage ratio of 1.25%, as compared to 1.10% as of December 31, 2024. Excluded from the allowance for credit losses and related coverage ratio are fair market value adjustments on previously acquired loans representing 1.88% of total portfolio loans.

Financial and operational highlights during the quarter ended March 31, 2025:

Successfully closed the acquisition of PFC, on February 28^th, creating a regional financial services institution with $27.4 billion in assets, significant economies of scale, and strong pro forma profitability metrics
Total organic loan growth was 7.8% year-over-year and 4.4% over the sequential quarter, annualized, and fully funded through deposit growth
- Reflecting $5.9 billion of loans from PFC and organic growth, total loans increased 57.3% year-over-year to $18.7 billion
Total organic deposit growth was 6.8% year-over-year and 8.1% over the sequential quarter, annualized
- Organic deposit growth, excluding certificates of deposit, increased 4.8% year-over-year and 10.6% over the sequential quarter, annualized
- Reflecting $6.9 billion of deposits from PFC and organic growth, total deposits increased 57.8% year-over-year to $21.3 billion
- Average loans to average deposits were 89.3%, providing continued capacity to fund loan growth
Net interest margin of 3.35% increased 32 basis points sequentially, as PFC benefited the margin by approximately 25 basis points through interest mark accretion and securities restructuring
Reflecting the PFC acquisition and organic growth, Trust and Investment Services ("WTIS") assets under management increased to a record $7.0 billion and broker-dealer securities account values (including annuities) increased to a record $2.4 billion
Efficiency ratio of 58.6% improved 803 basis points year-over-year and 261 basis points sequentially due to the benefits of the PFC acquisition, as well as a continued focus on expense management and driving positive operating leverage
Key credit quality metrics continued to remain at low levels and favorable to peer bank averages (based upon the prior four quarters for banks with total assets between $20 billion and $50 billion)

"Our first quarter results demonstrate continued solid operational performance, as we again delivered strong organic loan and deposit growth while driving positive operating leverage. We also continued to strengthen our balance sheet and net interest margin by funding loan growth with deposits and reducing higher-cost borrowings," said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer, WesBanco. "This quarter also marked a significant milestone for WesBanco as we successfully completed our acquisition of Premier Financial Corp., a merger that expands and strengthens our market position and accelerates our long-term growth strategy. We are pleased to welcome Premier's talented team, loyal customers and strong community partners to WesBanco. As we move forward together, our teams are focused on executing a seamless integration and delivering on the full potential of the combined organization for all our stakeholders."

Balance Sheet

WesBanco's balance sheet, as of March 31, 2025, reflects both the PFC acquisition and organic growth. Total assets increased 54.2% year-over-year to $27.4 billion, including total portfolio loans of $18.7 billion and total securities of $4.3 billion. Total portfolio loans increased 57.3% year-over-year due to acquired PFC loans of $5.9 billion and organic growth of $0.9 billion, with $0.8 billion from the commercial teams. Commercial real estate payoffs totaled approximately $83 million during the first quarter of 2025. Securities, which represented 15.8% of total assets, increased $1 billion year-over-year due to the addition of PFC securities. In addition, approximately $775 million of lower coupon or variable rate PFC securities were sold and replaced with approximately $475 million of longer-term, higher coupon fixed rate securities.

Deposits of $21.3 billion increased 57.8% year-over-year due to acquired PFC deposits of $6.9 billion and organic growth. Total organic deposit growth was $922 million, or 6.8%, year-over-year and $285 million quarter-over-quarter which fully funded loan growth of $921 million and $138 million, respectively. Reflecting the addition of PFC deposits, which included $1.3 billion of certificates of deposit, total demand deposits represented 49% of total deposits, with the non-interest bearing component representing 25%.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings totaled $1.5 billion, of which approximately 93% have 2025 maturities, increased $476.5 million, or 47.7%, from December 31, 2024, due to the addition of borrowings from PFC.

Credit Quality

As of March 31, 2025, total loans past due, criticized and classified loans, non-performing loans, and non-performing assets as percentages of the loan portfolio and total assets have remained low, from a historical perspective, and within a consistent range through the last five years. Total loans past due as a percent of the loan portfolio decreased 4 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 0.43%, while non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased 8 basis points to 0.30%.

Net Interest Margin and Income

The first quarter margin of 3.35% improved 32 basis points compared to the fourth quarter and 43 basis points on a year-over-year basis, through a combination of higher loan and securities yields, lower funding costs, and higher purchase accounting accretion. Despite higher-cost certificates of deposit from PFC, deposit funding costs of 255 basis points for the first quarter of 2025 decreased as compared to 271 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 256 basis points in the prior year period. When including non-interest bearing deposits, deposit funding costs for the first quarter were 188 basis points. Interest rate mark accretion from the PFC acquisition, in addition to the securities restructuring, benefited the first quarter net interest margin by approximately 25 basis points.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 was $158.5 million, an increase of $44.6 million, or 39.1% year-over-year, reflecting the impact of a larger balance sheet from the PFC acquisition, loan growth, higher loan and securities yields, lower FHLB borrowings, and $9.1 million of purchase accounting accretion from acquisitions.

Non-Interest Income

For the first quarter of 2025, non-interest income of $34.7 million increased $4.0 million, or 13.2%, from the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to the acquisition of PFC which drove higher service charges on deposits, bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI"), digital banking income, and trust fees. Service charges on deposits increased $1.8 million year-over-year, reflecting the addition of PFC, fee income from new products and services and treasury management, and increased general consumer spending. BOLI increased $1.4 million year-over-year due to a $0.9 million death benefit received and the addition of PFC. Gross swap fees were $2.0 million in the first quarter, compared to $0.8 million in the prior year period, while fair value adjustments were a loss of $1.0 million compared to a gain of $0.8 million, respectively.

Non-Interest Expense

Reflecting the closing of the PFC acquisition on February 28^th, non-interest expense, excluding restructuring and merger-related costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $114.0 million, a $16.8 million, or 17.2%, increase year-over-year primarily due to the addition of the PFC expense base associated with approximately 900 employees and 70 financial centers. Equipment and software expense of $13.1 million, includes the additional cost of operating two core systems until conversion to one platform in mid-May. Amortization of intangible assets of $4.2 million increased $2.1 million year-over-year due to the core deposit intangible asset that was created from the acquisition of PFC.

Capital

WesBanco continues to maintain what we believe are strong regulatory capital ratios, as both consolidated and bank-level regulatory capital ratios are well above the applicable "well-capitalized" standards promulgated by bank regulators and the BASEL III capital standards. In conjunction with the February 28^th closing of the PFC acquisition, WesBanco issued 28.7 million shares of common stock to acquire the outstanding shares of PFC, which increased total capital by $1.0 billion and, as anticipated, modestly impacted capital ratios. At March 31, 2025, Tier I leverage was 11.01%, Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 10.69%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio ("CET 1") was 9.99%, and total risk-based capital was 13.59%. In addition, the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.47% due to strong earnings and the third quarter common equity raise.
