FIRST MERCHANTS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2012 EARNINGS PER SHARE

First Merchants Corporation (NASDAQ – FRME) has reported first quarter 2012 core earnings per share of $.25 compared to $.17 during the same period in 2011. The increase of nearly 50 percent reflects the Corporation’s year-over-year improvements in revenue, credit quality and efficiency.  In addition to core earnings of $.25, the Corporation recorded a gain on its FDIC purchase and assumption agreement with SCB Bank in Shelbyville, Indiana of $.21 per share. Actual earnings per share totaled $.46 compared to $.17 during the same period in 2011, an increase of 171 percent.  Total net income available to common shareholders equaled $13.2 million compared to $4.5 million earned in the first quarter of 2011.

Michael C. Rechin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “First quarter 2012 results include numerous positives and jump starts our company’s new year.  Our continued improvement in core earnings, capital levels, credit statistics, loans outstanding and efficiency gains sustain our momentum for the future. The strategic fit of the Shelbyville market into our franchise including the customer mix and community profile is a perfect addition to our community bank model and the immediate financial impact is very satisfying.  Even more importantly, our management team is energized by the ability of First Merchants to once again seize strategic opportunities and to capitalize on our history of successful operational and cultural integrations.”

Total assets equaled $4.2 billion as of year-end and total loans were $2.8 billion.  The Corporation’s liquidity is optimally deployed in the bond portfolio, as investment securities totaled $960 million.  The Corporation’s loan-to-deposit ratio is now 86 percent and the loan-to-asset ratio is 66 percent.  After adjusting for fair value, SCB purchased loans totaled $89.7 million and assumed deposits totaled $98.8 million as of the quarter’s end.

Net-interest income totaled $36.1 million for the quarter and net-interest margin remained strong during the quarter totaling 3.96 percent as yields on earning assets totaled 4.74 percent and the cost of supporting liabilities totaled .78 percent.  Net-interest margin of 3.96 for the quarter is one basis point better than the first quarter of 2011 and 3 basis points less than 4th quarter of 2011.

Non-interest income totaled $22.7 million for the quarter including the $9.1 million gain on the FDIC modified whole bank transaction.  After normalizing for bond gains and losses and the FDIC gain, non-interest income improved by $950,000 over the first quarter of 2011.  Non-interest expense totaled $34 million for the quarter, a slight increase over the prior year as benefits expense increased by $1.2 million.

Provision expense totaled $4.9 million for the first quarter 2012, compared to $5.6 million in 2011.  Net charge-offs totaled $5.4 million for the first quarter, down from $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2011.   The allowance for loan losses totaled $70.4 million, or 2.5 percent of total loans and 94.5 percent of non-accrual loans.  Core non-performing assets declined by $15 million, year-over-year, and now total $91.9 million.  The SCB loan portfolio added $4.9 million to non-performing assets producing a consolidated total of $96.8 million.  The new SCB non-performing assets had a book balance of $10 million adjusted to $4.9 million through fair value accounting.

As of March 31, 2012, the Corporation’s total risk-based capital equaled 16.39 percent, Tier 1 common risk-based capital equaled 9.20 percent, and tangible common equity ratio totaled 7.07 percent.  The one time gain recorded during the quarter effectively self capitalized the FDIC transaction as tangible common equity to tangible assets improved to over 7 percent for the first time since 2001.
