DEFIANCE, Ohio--()--Premier Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: PFC) (“Premier” or the “Company”) announced today 2024 third quarter results.

Strategic merger

On July 26, 2024, PFC and Wesbanco, Inc. (Nasdaq: WSBC) announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement under which PFC will merge into WSBC in a stock-for-stock transaction. Under the terms of the merger agreement, shareholders of PFC will receive 0.80 shares of WSBC common stock for each share of PFC common stock. Premier Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of PFC, will merge into Wesbanco Bank, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of WSBC. Upon closing, PFC shareholders will own approximately 30% of the combined company. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to the approval of shareholders of both PFC and WSBC and regulatory approvals, as well as satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions. Additional information can be found in the press release announcing the merger dated July 26, 2024.

Quarterly results

Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $16.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, compared to income of $24.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter 2024 results included the impact of transaction costs for the strategic merger totaling $2.8 million pre-tax or $0.08 per diluted common share after-tax. Excluding the impact of these transaction costs, third quarter 2024 earnings were $19.3 million or $0.54 per diluted common share.

Net interest income and margin

Net interest income of $50.3 million on a tax equivalent (“TE”) basis in the third quarter of 2024 was up 1.9% from $49.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and down 7.5% from $54.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. The TE net interest margin of 2.50% in the third quarter of 2024 increased four basis points from 2.46% in the second quarter of 2024 but decreased 23 basis points from 2.73% in the third quarter of 2023. These results are primarily impacted by changes in deposit balances/costs and loan balances/yields.

Total loans including held-for-sale decreased $110.4 million, during the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to an $87.2 million decrease in commercial loans. Total average loan yields increased seven basis points to 5.33% for the third quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to origination of higher yielding loans and payoffs of lower yielding loans.

Total deposits decreased $35.9 million during the third quarter of 2024 from the second quarter of 2024 due to a $95.3 million decrease in brokered deposits offset partly by an increase of $59.4 million in customer deposits. Total average interest-bearing deposit costs increased five basis points to 3.15% during the third quarter of 2024 from the second quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to new customer acquisitions and continued migration of customers from lower cost to higher cost deposits products.

Beginning in March 2024 and through September 2024, management implemented rate reductions in certain deposit tiers. The benefit of those actions began to be realized in third quarter 2024 as the average cost of customer interest-bearing deposits declined from June to September. In addition, partly due to the Federal Funds Rate reduction in mid-September, wholesale funding average costs for FHLB, brokered deposits and other borrowings also declined from June to September. As a result, total cost of funds decreased and net interest margin increased from June to September.

Non-interest income

Total non-interest income in the third quarter of 2024 of $12.6 million was up 4.1% from $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to gains on equity securities, but down 5.1% from $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income decreased $0.9 million on a linked quarter basis and $2.1 million from third quarter 2023, primarily as a result of fluctuations in gain on sale margins and MSR valuation adjustments. During the third quarter of 2024, the company completed an aged loans sale that reduced gains on sale by approximately $0.3 million.

Security gains were $410 thousand in the third quarter of 2024, compared to losses of $176 thousand in the second quarter of 2024 and gains of $256 thousand in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to valuation changes on equity securities. Service fees in the third quarter of 2024 were $7.8 million, a 10.7% increase from $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, and an 11.6% increase from $6.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. This change was primarily due to fluctuations in loan fees, including commercial customer swap activity. Wealth management income of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2024 was up slightly from $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 24.5% higher than $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. BOLI income of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, and $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 with no claim gains in any period.

Non-interest expenses

Excluding transaction costs, non-interest expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were $39.1 million, a 2.5% increase from $38.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, and a 2.8% increase from $38.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. Compensation and benefits were $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $21.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. The linked quarter increase was primarily due to higher health insurance costs. Data processing costs were $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, with the year-over-year increase primarily due to the new digital platform launched in October 2023. All other non-interest expenses increased a net $0.5 million on a linked quarter basis and a net $49 thousand from third quarter 2023 primarily due to a $0.2 million of loss on sale for a closed branch. The core efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2024 was 62.7% compared to 62.0% in the second quarter of 2024 and 56.5% in the third quarter of 2023. The ratio of core non-interest expenses to average assets was 1.79% for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 1.78% for the second quarter of 2024 and from 1.76% for the third quarter of 2023.

Credit quality

Non-performing assets totaled $82.3 million, or 0.94% of assets, at September 30, 2024, an increase from $64.6 million at June 30, 2024, and from $39.9 million at September 30, 2023. The linked quarter increase was primarily due to two multifamily commercial relationships. Loan delinquencies decreased to $17.2 million, or 0.25% of loans, at September 30, 2024, from $24.6 million at June 30, 2024, and from $17.2 million at September 30, 2023. Criticized loans totaled $245.7 million, or 3.62% of loans, as of September 30, 2024, an increase from $207.8 million at June 30, 2024, and from $161.1 million at September 30, 2023.

The 2024 third quarter results include net charge-offs of $0.6 million and a total provision benefit of $0.3 million, compared with net loan recoveries of $0.3 million and a total provision benefit of $0.8 million for the same period in 2023. The change in provision is primarily due to lower loan balances. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.16% at September 30, 2024, compared with 1.16% at June 30, 2024, and 1.14% at September 30, 2023.

Year to date results

Net income for the first nine months of 2024 was $50.6 million, or $1.41 per diluted common share, compared to income of $91.2 million, or $2.55 per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2023. 2024 results included the impact of transaction costs for the strategic merger totaling $2.8 million pre-tax or $0.08 per diluted common share after-tax. Excluding the impact of these transaction costs, 2024 core earnings were $53.3 million or $1.49 per diluted common share. 2023 results included the impact of the insurance agency sale for a net gain on sale after transaction costs of $32.6 million pre-tax or $0.67 per diluted common share after-tax. Excluding the impact of this item, 2023 core earnings were income of $67.1 million or $1.87 per diluted common share.

Net interest income of $149.2 million on a TE basis for the first nine months of 2024 was down 9.4% from $164.8 million in the first nine months of 2023. The TE net interest margin of 2.49% in the first nine months of 2024 decreased 29 basis points from 2.78% in the first nine months of 2023. These results are positively impacted by higher loan yields, which were 5.26% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to 4.88% in the first nine months of 2023. These results are negatively impacted by an increase in the cost of funds in the first nine months of 2024 of 2.59%, up 72 basis points from the first nine months of 2023. The year-over-year increase is largely due to increasing costs of customer deposits.

Total non-interest income in the first nine months of 2024 of $37.1 million was up 9.6% from $33.9 million in the first nine months of 2023, excluding insurance commissions and the gain on the sale of the insurance agency. Mortgage banking income decreased $0.3 million year-over-year primarily as a result of a $0.6 million decrease in gains due to lower margins.

Security gains were $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2024 compared to $1.1 million in losses during the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to valuations on equity securities. The company also sold $21 million of AFS securities for a $27 thousand gain with average yields less than FHLB borrowing rates during the first nine months of 2023. Service fees in the first nine months of 2024 were $21.2 million, a 3.2% increase from $20.6 million in the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to fluctuations in loan fees including commercial customer swap activity and consumer activity for interchange and ATM/NSF charges. Due to the insurance agency sale on June 30, 2023, there were no insurance commissions in the first nine months of 2024, compared to $8.9 million in the first nine months of 2023. Wealth management income of $5.4 million in the first nine months of 2024 was up 19.9% from $4.5 million in the first nine months of 2023. BOLI income of $4.1 million in the first nine months of 2024 included $0.5 million of claim gains, compared to $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2023, including $0.4 million of claim gains.

Excluding transaction costs, non-interest expenses in the first nine months of 2024 were $117.2 million, a 3.7% decrease from $121.7 million in the first nine months of 2023. Compensation and benefits were $66.5 million in the first nine months of 2024, compared to $71.6 million in the first nine months of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the insurance agency sale, partially offset by costs related to higher staffing levels and higher base compensation, including 2024 annual merit adjustments. FDIC premiums decreased $1.0 million on a year-over-year basis primarily due to lower rates. Data processing costs were $14.8 million in the first nine months of 2024, compared to $11.5 million in the first nine months of 2023, with the year-over-year increase primarily due to the new digital platform launched in October 2023. All other non-interest expenses decreased a net $1.7 million on a year-over-year basis due to the insurance agency sale and cost saving initiatives. The core efficiency ratio for the first nine months of 2024 of 63.0% increased from 58.3% in the first nine months of 2023 due to lower revenues partly offset by cost saving initiatives that began during the second quarter of 2023. The ratio of core non-interest expenses to average assets improved to 1.81% for the first nine months of 2024 from 1.91% for the first nine months of 2023.

The 2024 first nine months results include net loan charge-offs of $3.6 million and a total provision expense of $2.5 million, compared with net loan charge-offs of $1.9 million and a total provision expense of $3.5 million for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year change in provision expense is primarily due to a decrease in loans during the first nine months of 2024 compared to an increase in loans during the first nine months of 2023.

Total assets at $8.73 billion

Total assets at September 30, 2024, were $8.73 billion, compared to $8.78 billion at June 30, 2024, and $8.56 billion at September 30, 2023.

FHLB borrowings decreased to $345.0 million at September 30, 2024, from $393.0 million at June 30, 2024, but increased from $339.0 million at September 30, 2023.

Total stockholders’ equity was $1.02 billion at September 30, 2024, compared to $0.98 billion at June 30, 2024, and $0.92 billion at September 30, 2023, with the increases primarily due to improvements in accumulated other comprehensive income. Excluding goodwill and intangibles, tangible equity was $714.1 million at September 30, 2024, an increase from $673.3 million at June 30, 2024, and from $610.7 million at September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Reporting Measures

We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider core net interest income, core net income and core pre-tax pre-provision income to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. We define core net interest income as net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis excluding income from PPP loans and purchase accounting marks accretion. We define core net income as net income excluding the after-tax impacts of the insurance agency gain on sale and transaction costs. We define core pre-tax pre-provision income as pre-tax pre-provision income excluding the pre-tax impact of the insurance agency gain on sale and transaction costs. We believe that these metrics are useful supplemental measures of operating performance because investors and equity analysts may use these measures to compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other financial institutions or other companies on a consistent basis without having to account for income from PPP loans, purchase accounting marks accretion, or the insurance agency sale. Our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. The supplemental reporting measures do not represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other financial institutions or other companies. Please see the exhibits for reconciliations of our non-GAAP reporting measures.

(1) Interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans has been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.
(2) Core items exclude the impact of strategic merger and insurance agency disposition related items. See non-GAAP reconciliations.
(3) Tangible assets = total assets less the sum of goodwill and core deposit and other intangibles. Tangible equity = total stockholders' equity less the sum of goodwill, core deposit and other intangibles, and preferred stock. Tangible common book value = tangible equity divided by shares outstanding at the end of the period.
(4) Efficiency ratio = Non-interest expense divided by sum of tax-equivalent net interest income plus non-interest income, excluding securities gains or losses, net.
