The Company took early action by executing its business continuity plan to protect the health and welfare of its associates and mitigate customer disruption


                   
The bank is operating 144 financial service centers (“FSC’s”) today, with only 3 required to close due to their locations in shopping malls or other facilities subject to mandatory closure. All FSC’s remain drive-up only and access to lobbies is by appointment only
There are approximately 600 employees working remotely, which is approximately 40% of our total workforce

We are monitoring the health of our employees on a daily basis

“Our results this quarter reflect the extraordinary events that have unfolded as a result of the COVID-19 virus and the unprecedented efforts being made to contain it.” stated T. Michael Price, President and Chief Executive Officer, “As a community bank, we are in a fortunate position to support our communities, including direct financial assistance to local relief programs, working with customers experiencing hardship and helping businesses secure funding to keep their business alive. We have also implemented a multitude of measures to keep our employees safe, with minimal disruption to our customers.” Price continued, “Our results for the first quarter reflect good fundamental performance, but the extraordinary changes in the economic environment occurring in March had a material impact on our provision for loan losses. We produced significant growth in our loan portfolio, increased core and non-interest bearing deposits, and grew tangible book value. With our strong capital and liquidity position, combined with robust technology capabilities, we remain well positioned to serve our communities and businesses as we navigate these uncertain times.”
Earnings
Net income for the first quarter of 2020 was $4.7 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to $24.6 million, or $0.25 per share for the first quarter of 2019, and $26.8 million, or $0.27 per share in the fourth quarter of 2019.


                   
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (FTE) decreased $1.1 million from the previous quarter due to balance sheet repricing, driven by the impact of the lower interest rate environment, and one fewer day in the quarter.
The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2020 was 3.65%, a decrease of eight basis points from the previous quarter and a decrease of ten basis points from the first quarter of 2019. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2019 was due primarily to a 12 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a five basis point decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities.
Total average interest-earning assets increased $143.0 million from the previous quarter due to strong commercial and indirect auto loan growth in the first two months of the quarter.
Total average deposits grew $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the previous quarter. Period-end deposits grew $245.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Period-end growth was driven by $209.4 million growth in interest-bearing demand and savings deposits and $61.3 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by $25.2 million decrease in time deposits.
Asset Quality
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, which provides banking organizations with optional, temporary relief from adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,” Topic 326, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“CECL”). Due to the extraordinary economic condition and the uncertainty of economic forecasts and resulting volatility in these forecasts, the company elected to defer its adoption of CECL and has, therefore, calculated reserves for loan losses under the incurred loss method.
Provision expense in the first quarter totaled $31.0 million. Reserves for loan losses totaled $79.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of $27.4 million from the previous quarter. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to specific reserves of $7.4 million and an additional $16.7 million in qualitative reserves. These qualitative reserves are intended to reflect the risks of weakened economic conditions on our loan portfolio as of March 31, 2020, but also loss estimates identified in several at-risk loan portfolios (e.g. hospitality and senior living centers) and the increased risk presented by the large number of loan forbearances.
At March 31, 2020, nonperforming loans totaled $59.1 million, an increase of $26.9 million from the previous quarter. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily due to three commercial real estate loans, two of which were experiencing performance pressures related to the impact of COVID-19.
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.93%, 0.52% and 0.53% for the periods ended March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.


                   
For the originated loan portfolio at March 31, 2020, the general allowance for credit losses to total originated loans was 1.16%, compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2019 and 0.89% at March 31, 2019.
During the first quarter of 2020, net charge-offs were $3.5 million, compared to $3.3 million in the prior quarter and $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. Net charge-offs were 0.23%, 0.21% and 0.15% of average loans (annualized) for the periods ended March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income totaled $19.3 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $22.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $18.9 million for the first quarter of 2019 (excluding net securities gains). There were no material securities gains during the current or comparable quarters.
The $3.2 million decrease from the previous quarter was due to a $1.6 million decrease in swap-related derivative mark-to-market income and a $1.5 million decrease in swap fee income, which was partially offset by an increase of $0.9 million in gain on sale of mortgage loans due to higher refinance activities driven by lower interest rates.
Noninterest expense (excluding merger-related expenses) totaled $50.3 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $53.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $49.7 million for the first quarter of 2019. The $3.0 million decrease from the previous quarter was primarily the result of a $2.5 million release of unfunded commitment reserves and a $1.0 million decrease in other professional fees. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.9 million seasonal increase in salaries and benefits and $0.5 million increase in advertising and promotional expense.
The core efficiency ratio was 58.21% during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to 57.23% in the previous quarter and 58.18% in the first quarter of 2019.
Full time equivalent staff was 1,510 at March 31, 2020, 1,484 at December 31, 2019, and 1,417 at March 31, 2019. The increase from the prior year quarter is the result of the addition of employees from acquisitions and the hiring of additional talent in our new markets and business lines.
Dividends and Capital
First Commonwealth Financial Corporation declared a common stock quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share, which is payable on May 22, 2020 to shareholders of record as of May 8, 2020. This dividend represents a 4.7% projected annual yield utilizing the April 27, 2020 closing market price of $9.38.
First Commonwealth’s capital ratios for Total, Tier I, Leverage and Common Equity Tier I at March 31, 2020 were 14.2%, 11.6%, 9.9% and 10.5% respectively. First Commonwealth’s current capital levels exceed the fully phased-in Basel III capital requirements issued by U.S. bank regulators.
