FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

First Commonwealth Announces Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results;

Declares Quarterly Dividend

Indiana, PA., July 23, 2014 - First Commonwealth Financial Corporation (NYSE: FCF) today reported net income of $11.9 million, or $0.13 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.06 diluted earnings per share, in the second quarter of 2013. The increase in net income compared to the second quarter of 2013 was primarily the result of reduced provision expense and an increase in noninterest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net income was $24.2 million, or $0.26 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $16.4 million, or $0.17 diluted earnings per share, for the comparable period in 2013. The increase in net income compared to the first half of 2013 was primarily the result of an $8.7 million reduction in provision expense, an increase of $2.1 million in noninterest income and a $1.2 million reduction in noninterest expense, despite $5.0 million in one-time technology conversion-related expenses incurred during the first half of 2014.

Second Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights


•	Net income of $11.9 million, or $0.13 diluted earnings per share


•	Solid loan growth of $82.0 million, or 7.7% on an annualized basis


•	Market expansion through a new Business Center in Cleveland, Ohio


•	Expansion of product lines with the recent launch of a new Mortgage division


•	“Operation: Excellence” IT conversion expense of $2.6 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share, including technology conversion charges and accelerated depreciation expense for hardware and software that is expected to be replaced in the third quarter of 2014


•	A $2.0 million gain on the sale of an Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) property


•	A $9.9 million decrease in nonperforming loans, representing a 17.6% decline from the first quarter of 2014 and a decrease of $26.8 million, or 36.7%, over the last 12 months

T. Michael Price, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The scale and scope of our IT systems upgrade, the launch of our Mortgage division, and our entry into the Cleveland market have required significant time and resources over the course of the past three months. Despite those demands, our First Commonwealth team generated solid loan growth, improved asset quality and continued to demonstrate meaningful progress in effectively managing our total expenses.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Second quarter 2014 net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was $46.2 million. This represents a decrease of $0.5 million, or 1.1%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013. The decrease was the result of a nine basis point decline in the net interest margin due to lower replacement loan yields, partially offset by a four basis point decline in funding costs, an $81.9 million, or 1.5%, increase in average interest-earning assets and higher prepayment fees. The net interest margin was 3.26%, 3.33% and 3.35% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, decreased $0.5 million to $92.7 million as compared to the same period of 2013. The decrease was primarily the result of a 10 basis point decline in the net interest margin due to lower loan replacement yields, partially offset by a 10 basis point decline in funding costs, a $139.4 million, or 2.5%, increase in average interest-earning assets and higher prepayment fees over the year-ago period. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 3.30% and 3.40%, respectively.

Based on period-end balances, loan growth for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $82.0 million since the prior quarter end and $104.5 million over the past 12 months. While total deposits decreased $187.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $272.6 million over the 12-month period, noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $41.1 million and $107.1 million for the three and 12-month periods, respectively. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits currently comprise 22.6% of total deposits. Other significant changes to the balance sheet included an increase in short-term borrowings of $272.9 million and $404.0 million over the three and 12-month periods, respectively. This increase in short-term borrowings represented a more cost-effective funding source over purchased wholesale deposits.

Credit Quality

The provision for credit losses totaled $3.3 million and $6.5 million for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2014, as compared to $10.8 million and $15.3 million in the prior-year period.

At June 30, 2014, nonperforming loans were $46.3 million, a decrease of $9.9 million from March 31, 2014 and $13.1 million from December 31, 2013. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.07%, 1.32% and 1.73% for the periods ended June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2014, net charge-offs were $7.1 million, compared to $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2013. Second quarter 2014 charge-offs included $5.8 million for a credit that was sold during the quarter. A loan loss provision of $4.5 million was set aside for this credit in the first quarter of 2014, with an additional $1.3 million provision in the second quarter. Second quarter 2013 charge-offs included $13.1 million for a legacy credit to a local real estate developer that was settled during the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net charge-offs were $10.0 million, or 0.47% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $25.0 million, or 1.19% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the same period of 2013.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.17%, 1.28% and 1.36% for June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. General reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans were 1.04%, 1.05% and 1.15% for June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

OREO acquired through foreclosure was $7.8 million at June 30, 2014, as compared to $10.1 million at March 31, 2014 and $15.6 million at June 30, 2013. The decline during the second quarter of 2014 was primarily due to the aforementioned sale of an OREO property at a gain of $2.0 million and the write-down of a separate OREO property of $0.7 million.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $2.1 million, or 13.9%, in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily the result of a $2.0 million gain from the sale of an OREO property in the second quarter of 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, noninterest income increased $2.1 million, or 7.1%, as compared to the same period of 2013, primarily attributable to the aforementioned $2.0 million gain from the sale of an OREO property in the second quarter of 2014, a $1.2 million gain from the sale of our registered investment advisory business in the first quarter of 2014, together with increases of $0.7 million in service charges on deposit accounts, $0.3 million in interchange revenue and $0.2 million in insurance and retail brokerage commissions. These increases in noninterest income were offset by a $1.1 million reduction in commercial loan swap-related revenues over the same period, a decrease of $0.4 million in trust income and a decrease in other income of $0.7 million.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $0.4 million, or 1.0%, in the second quarter of 2014 from the second quarter of 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to $2.6 million of IT conversion-related costs, primarily related to accelerated depreciation of software and hardware that is expected to be replaced in the third quarter of 2014, combined with an increase of $0.4 million in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to higher medical costs and staffing related to the recent mortgage launch. Offsetting the IT conversion-related costs were reductions of $0.5 million in Pennsylvania shares tax expense and $0.4 million in OREO and loan collection costs, combined with a $1.6 million early redemption fee on $32.5 million of fixed rate trust preferred debt obligations redeemed in the second quarter of 2013.

Despite $5.0 million in one-time technology conversion charges and accelerated depreciation, noninterest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 1.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013. Improvements included $0.3 million in salaries and employee benefits, $1.0 million in Pennsylvania shares tax expense, $0.3 million in amortization of intangibles, $0.8 million in OREO and loan collection costs, $0.2 million in other professional fees, the aforementioned $1.6 million charge for the early extinguishment of debt in 2013, a $0.9 million partial insurance recovery for a 2012 external fraud loss and a $0.8 million contingency accrual for client tax reporting in 2013.

Full time equivalent staff was 1,381 and 1,396 for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The efficiency ratio, calculated as total noninterest expense as a percentage of total revenue (which consists of net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, plus total noninterest income, excluding net impairment losses and net securities gains), was 67.1% and 66.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to 68.1% and 67.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Dividends and Capital

First Commonwealth Financial Corporation declared a common stock quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share which is payable on August 15, 2014 to shareholders of record as of August 4, 2014. This dividend represents a 3.2% projected annual yield utilizing the July 22, 2014 closing market price of $8.80.

During the first quarter of 2014, First Commonwealth completed share repurchase programs in the amount of $25.0 million and $50.0 million which were previously announced on January 29, 2013 and June 19, 2012, respectively.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements about First Commonwealth’s future plans, strategies and financial performance. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and often include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may." Such statements are based on assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, performance or achievements contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Global and domestic economies could fail to recover from the recent economic downturn or could experience another severe contraction, which could adversely affect our revenues, increase credit-related costs and reduce the values of our assets and liabilities. Global financial markets could experience a recurrence of significant turbulence, which could reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions and lead to a tightening of credit, a reduction of business activity, and increased market volatility. Continued stress in the commercial real estate markets, as well as a delay or failure of recovery in the residential real estate markets, could cause additional credit losses and deterioration in asset values. In addition, our business and financial performance is likely to be negatively impacted by effects of recently enacted and future legislation and regulation. Our results could also be adversely affected by continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions; changes in interest rates; deterioration in the credit quality of our loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of securities held in our investment securities portfolio; legal and regulatory developments; increased competition from both banks and non-banks; changes in customer behavior and preferences; effects of mergers and acquisitions and related integration; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; and management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk, market risk, operational risk, compliance and legal risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. First Commonwealth undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
