FIRST MERCHANTS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2014 EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDEND INCREASE

First Merchants Corporation (NASDAQ - FRME) has reported first quarter 2014 net income of $13.6 million, compared to $11 million during the same period in 2013. Earnings per share for the period totaled $.38 per share equaling the first quarter of 2013.

Total assets equaled $5.5 billion as of quarter-end and loans were $3.6 billion. The Corporation’s loan portfolio increased, by $737 million, over the past twelve months. Of the increase, $140 million was the result of organic growth and $597 million resulted from the acquisition of CFS Bancorp in November of 2013. The Corporation’s loan-to-deposit ratio is 84 percent and the loan-to-asset ratio is 66 percent.

Michael C. Rechin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “First quarter 2014 results were in line with our expectations and include the successful integration of more than 30,000 new customers onto our core platforms as of February 24th. Rechin also added, “Management was pleased by our results in the month of March, as cost savings identified from our acquisition were fully recognized. The board’s decision to increase the common dividend is reflective of our team's confidence in the company’s earnings prospects.”

Net-interest income totaled $45.9 million for the quarter, and net-interest margin remained strong during the quarter totaling 3.97 percent, as yields on earning assets totaled 4.40 percent and the cost of supporting liabilities totaled .43 percent.

Non-interest income totaled $15.2 million for the quarter, an increase from the first quarter of 2013 total of $13.9 million. Gains on sale of mortgage loans declined during the quarter by $1.7 million reflecting higher rates and the challenges of selling a home in sub-zero temperatures. Non-interest expense totaled $43.1 million for the quarter, an increase of $8.4 million over the prior year. Of the increase in non-interest expense, $1.4 million was non-recurring related to the acquisition, $682,000 from our initial seeding of employee HSA accounts and $669,000 resulting from unusually high levels of snow removal.

The Corporation did not expense any provision during the quarter due to net recoveries of $1.7 million. The allowance for loan losses totaled $69.6 million, or 1.92 percent of total loans and 125 percent of non-accrual loans. Non-performing assets declined by $4.6 million from year-end and now total $77.1 million.

As of March 31, 2014, the Corporation’s total risk-based capital equaled 15.04 percent, Tier 1 common risk-based capital equaled 10.86 percent, and tangible common equity ratio totaled 8.65 percent. The Corporation also increased its dividend through an 8-K filling on April 18, 2014. The quarterly dividend now totals $.08 per share, an increase of sixty percent, due to strong earnings and capital levels.

Mark K. Hardwick, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer stated, “The optimization of our capital levels in the fourth quarter of last year combined with the strength of earnings allowed for the desired flexibility in our dividend level.” Hardwick also added, “Utilizing cash as a component of future acquisitions is also an option that we intend to consider.”
