"Acquired loans," as used herein, are those assumed in the Citizens acquisition.

Net interest margin compression in the third quarter, compared with the prior quarter, resulted from lower accretion from the acquired and covered loan portfolios due to the continued decline in the loan balances.

During the third quarter 2014, average core deposits, which exclude time deposits, increased $33.2 million, or 0.19%, compared with the second quarter 2014 and increased $460.9 million, or 2.75%, compared with the third quarter 2013. Average time deposits increased $1.8 million, or 0.08%, and decreased $385.3 million, or 14.16%, respectively, over the prior and year-ago quarters. For the third quarter 2014, average core deposits accounted for 88.04% of total average deposits, compared with 88.03% for the second quarter 2014 and 86.02% for the third quarter 2013.

Average investments decreased $16.3 million, or 0.24%, compared with the second quarter 2014 and increased $487.0 million, or 7.92%, compared with the third quarter 2013.

Noninterest income, excluding gains and losses on securities transactions, for the third quarter 2014 was $69.7 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 3.81%, from the second quarter 2014 and a decrease of $1.4 million, or 1.93%, from the third quarter 2013. Included in noninterest income in the third quarter 2014 was $1.2 million of net losses on covered loan resolutions, compared to net gains of $4.1 million and $1.8 million in the second quarter 2014 and third quarter 2013, respectively.

Noninterest income, excluding net securities gains and losses, as a percentage of net revenue for the third quarter 2014 was 26.08% compared with 26.63% for second quarter 2014 and 25.56% for the third quarter 2013.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the third quarter 2014 was $163.1 million, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 2.54%, from the second quarter 2014 and a decrease of $47.5 million, or 22.53%, from the third quarter 2013. There were no merger related costs included in noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2014, however, included in noninterest expense in the third quarter 2013 were merger related costs associated with the Citizens acquisition of $33.4 million. The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 59.92% for the third quarter 2014, compared with 60.43% for the second quarter 2014 and 74.64% for the third quarter 2013.

The effective tax rate was 29.76% for the third quarter 2014 compared with 30.37% for the second quarter 2014 and 29.13% for the third quarter 2013.

Asset Quality (excluding acquired loans and covered assets)

Due to the impact of business combination accounting and protection against credit risk from FDIC loss sharing agreements, acquired loans and covered assets are excluded from the asset quality discussion to provide for improved comparability to prior periods and better perspective into asset quality trends. Acquired loans are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition with no allowance brought forward in accordance with business combination accounting. Impaired acquired and covered loans are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method under the applicable accounting guidance.

Net charge-offs on originated loans totaled $5.9 million, or 0.20% of average originated loans in the third quarter 2014, compared with $6.2 million, or 0.22% of average originated loans, in the second quarter 2014 and $2.9 million, or 0.12% of average originated loans, in the third quarter 2013.

Nonperforming assets totaled $63.1 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $2.2 million, or 3.61%, compared with June 30, 2014 and an increase of $7.7 million, or 13.88%, compared with September 30, 2013. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2014 represented 0.52% of period-end originated loans plus other real estate compared with 0.53% at June 30, 2014 and 0.57% at September 30, 2013.

The allowance for originated loan losses totaled $90.9 million at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, the allowance for originated loan losses was 0.75% of period-end originated loans compared with 0.80% at June 30, 2014 and 1.00% at September 30, 2013. The allowance for credit losses is the sum of the allowance for originated loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. For comparative purposes, the allowance for credit losses was 0.81% of period end originated loans at September 30, 2014, compared with 0.86% at June 30, 2014 and 1.09% at September 30, 2013. The allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 248.85% at September 30, 2014, compared with 269.61% at June 30, 2014 and 300.06% at September 30, 2013.

NOTES:
 
 
 
 
 

(a) - The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal and/or state income taxes. As such, these tax-exempt securities typically yield lower returns than taxable securities. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margins for all earning assets, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis is used in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. This adjustment is not permitted under generally accepted accounting principles in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
(b) - Due to the impact of business combination accounting and protection of FDIC loss sharing agreements, which provide considerable protection against credit risk, acquired loans and covered assets are excluded from this table to provide for improved comparability to prior periods and better perspective into asset quality trends.
(c) - Net income used to determine diluted EPS was reduced by the cash dividends payable on the Corporation's 5.875% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A of approximately $1.5 million in each of the quarters presented.

FirstMerit Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2014 EPS Results

(d) - Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated based on tangible common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding. Tangible common equity excludes goodwill, intangible assets, and preferred stock. Management believes this non-GAAP measure serves as a useful tool to help evaluate the strength and discipline of a company's capital management strategies and as an additional, conservative measure of total company value.
(e) - The efficiency ratio is calculated as noninterest expense divided by total revenue, excluding net gains on the sale of securities of $14.0 thousand, $80.0 thousand, and $56.0 thousand in the quarters ended September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, and March 31, 2014, respectively. There were no net gains on the sale of securities in the quarters ended December 31, 2013 or September 30, 2013.

(1) The net yield on earning assets is calculated as annualized taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets. The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal and/or state income taxes. As such, these tax-exempt securities typically yield lower returns than taxable securities. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margins for all earning assets, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis is used in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. This adjustment is not permitted under generally accepted accounting principles in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The taxable-equivalent adjustments to net interest income were $4.1 million, $4.1 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.
(2) Nonaccrual loans have been included in the average balances.

(1) The net yield on earning assets is calculated as annualized taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets. The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal and/or state income taxes. As such, these tax-exempt securities typically yield lower returns than taxable securities. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margins for all earning assets, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis is used in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. This adjustment is not permitted under generally accepted accounting principles in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The taxable-equivalent adjustments to net interest income were $12.1 million and $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.
(2) Nonaccrual loans have been included in the average balances.
