FIRST MERCHANTS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES 3rd QUARTER EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $.35

First Merchants Corporation (NASDAQ – FRME) has reported third quarter 2012 earnings per share of $.35 compared to a $.25 per share loss during the same period in 2011.  Net income available to common shareholders totaled $10.1 million for the quarter, a $16.5 million increase over the third quarter of 2011. The loss in the third quarter of 2011 was the result of a $.46 per share one-time charge related to the Corporation’s exit of the CPP program.

Michael C. Rechin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our third quarter 2012 results are gratifying and a source of strength providing flexibility in capital planning, business line investment and acquisition considerations.  We continue to effectively create value through this low interest rate cycle by growing loans while maintaining disciplined pricing and credit standards.  Our traditionally strong net interest margin should continue to be incrementally supported by yield accretion resulting from our FDIC acquisition in February.”

Year-to-date earnings per share totaled $1.09, a $.99 per share increase over the prior year total of $.10 per share.  Of the $.99 per share improvement, $.32 is the result of improvements made to our banking model during the year, including business line expansion and consistent market coverage.  In addition, $.46 per share is related to the CPP repayment in the third quarter of 2011, and $.21 is related to the one-time gain on the Corporation’s FDIC purchase and assumption agreement with SCB Bank in Shelbyville, Indiana, during the first quarter of 2012. Year-to-date net income available to common shareholders totaled $31.4 million compared to $2.6 million earned in the first nine months of 2011.

Total assets equaled $4.3 billion, as loans and investments total $2.8 billion and $929 million, respectively.  The Corporation’s loan-to-deposit ratio remained steady at 89 percent while the loan-to-asset ratio increased one percentage point to 67 percent.

Net-interest income totaled $39.9 million for the third quarter of 2012 and net-interest margin remained strong totaling 4.32 percent as yields on earning assets totaled 4.89 percent and the cost of supporting liabilities totaled .57 percent.  Discount accretion resulting from the SCB transaction added $2.6 million, or 28 basis points, to net-interest income and net-interest margin for the third quarter of 2012.  YTD net-interest income totaled $114.1 million, an increase of $6.9 million over the nine months of 2011.
 
Non-interest income totaled $14.3 million for the third quarter of 2012 and $50.1 million year-to-date.  After normalizing for bond gains and losses and the first quarter 2012 FDIC gain, non-interest income improved by $4.4 million, or 13 percent, during the first nine months of the year.  Gains from the sale of mortgage loans accounted for $2.4 million of the increase. Non-interest expense increased slightly on both a quarterly and year-to-date basis totaling $34.4 million and $102.6 million, respectively.

Provision expense totaled $4.6 million for the third quarter 2012 and $14.0 million year-to-date, compared to $5.6 million and $16.8 million in 2011.  Net charge-offs were $5.3 million for the third quarter 2012 and $15.4 million year-to-date, compared to $9.6 million and $26.7 million in 2011.  The allowance for loan losses is $69.5 million, or 2.43 percent of total loans and 122 percent of non-accrual loans, the highest coverage ratio since 2006.

As of September 30, 2012, the Corporation’s total risk-based capital equaled 16.62 percent, Tier 1 common risk-based capital equaled 9.71 percent, and tangible common equity ratio totaled 7.51 percent.  As of September 30, 2011 the Corporation’s total risk-based capital equaled 16.21 percent, Tier 1 common risk-based capital equaled 8.53 percent, and tangible common equity ratio totaled 6.88 percent.
