First Financial Corporation reports 3rd Quarter 2012 results

 

TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA First Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:THFF) today announced results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012. Net income of $24.2 and $8.1 million for the nine and three months, respectively, compares to $27.0 and $9.8 million for the same periods of 2011. Return on assets for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012 was 1.12% and 1.16%, respectively, compared to 1.44% and 1.57% for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011. Results for the first nine months of 2012 include income and expenses associated with the purchase of Freestar Bank on December 30, 2011 and were not reflected in the results for the first nine months of 2011.

 

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2012 was $27.4 million, an increase of 10.0% over the $24.9 million reported for the same period of 2011. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $82.2 million compared to the $74.8 million reported for the same period of 2011, an increase of $7.4 million. The net interest margin at September 30, 2012 was 4.41%, compared to the 4.52% reported at September 30, 2011.

 

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.6 million compared to the $1.4 million provision for the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the provision expense was $7.3 and $3.9 million, respectively.

 

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $9.7 and $8.9 million, respectively, an 8.7% increase. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans comprised $0.9 million of the increase. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest income increased $3.9 million to $29.0 million from the $25.1 million reported for the same period of 2011.

 

Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $23.0 million compared to $18.6 million in 2011.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest expense was $69.5 million compared to $56.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. 2012 non-interest expense contains salary, benefits and one-time expenses related to the acquisition of Freestar Bank. In addition, costs related to the opening of four banking centers by First Financial Bank during the quarter resulted in expenses that did not exist during the same quarter of 2011.

 

Total loans at September 30, 2012 of $1.86 billion compare to the $1.66 billion reported during the same period a year ago. Deposits increased by $332.7 million to $2.26 billion. These increases were primarily driven by the Freestar Bank acquisition.

 

Book value per share was $27.86, a 2.77% increase from the $27.11 at September 30, 2011. Shareholders’ equity increased 3.42% to $368.8 million from $356.6 million on September 30, 2011.

 

First Financial Corporation is the holding company for First Financial Bank N.A. in Indiana and Illinois, The Morris Plan Company of Terre Haute and Forrest Sherer Inc. in Indiana.
