FULT - Fulton Financial Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:FULT) (“Fulton” or the “Corporation”) reported net income available to common shareholders of $61.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.4 million, or 4.0%, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2021.

"Overall, we are pleased with our first quarter results. Our consumer and commercial businesses had solid loan growth during the quarter despite the volatile rate environment. We again saw record income in our wealth management business. Our asset quality remained stable, and we saw a decline in operating expenses linked quarter," said E. Phillip Wenger, Chairman and CEO. "On the corporate front, we were pleased to be able to raise our quarterly dividend. And our announcement of our intent to acquire Prudential Bancorp, Inc. later this year will help grow Fulton's presence in Philadelphia, which is a strategically important market for us."

Net Interest Income and Balance Sheet

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $161.3 million, $4.3 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2021. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022 increased 1 basis point, to 2.78%, from 2.77% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The linked-quarter decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in loan fees related to Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, which were $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by lower interest expense. The linked-quarter increase in net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in average net loans to $18.4 billion from $18.2 billion coupled with a decrease in lower yielding other interest-earning assets to $1.3 billion from $2.1 billion. The PPP loan balance was $164.3 million and $301.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

For the first quarter of 2022, net interest income was $161.3 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 1.9%, in comparison to the first quarter of 2021. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022 decreased 1 basis point, to 2.78% from 2.79% in the first quarter of 2021. The yield on average interest-earning assets declined 15 basis points and the rate on average interest-bearing liabilities declined 20 basis points in the first quarter of 2022 in comparison to the first quarter of 2021.

The year-over-year decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decline in interest income on loans of $14.4 million, from $165.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $151.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decline in interest income on loans was primarily due to a decline of $15.0 million in PPP loan fees. Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and long-term borrowings declined by $4.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022 in comparison to the first quarter of 2021. The decline in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in rate of 11 basis points. The decline in interest expense on long-term borrowings in the first quarter of 2022 was driven by a $661.3 million decrease in average balance due to the balance sheet restructuring in the first quarter of 2021, which included the prepayment of $536.0 million of long-term Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and the cash tender offer for $75 million and $60.0 million of the Corporation's outstanding subordinated and senior notes, respectively.

Total average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2022 was $23.9 billion, a decrease of $382.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to a decrease of $842.2 million in average other interest-earning assets, partially offset by increases in average taxable investment securities and average net loans of $271.7 million and $162.6 million, respectively.

Total average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $388.2 million from the first quarter of 2021. Average net loans for the first quarter of 2022 were $18.4 billion, a decrease of $597.5 million from the same period in 2021. Included in average net loans for the first quarter of 2022 were PPP loans with an average balance of $226.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 billion from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in average PPP loans for the first quarter of 2022 was partially offset by increases in average residential mortgage loans, average commercial mortgage loans and average real estate construction loans of $703.8 million, $165.9 million and $82.9 million, respectively. Average taxable investment securities increased $635.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $374.6 million, to $15.1 billion, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, driven by decreases of $268.8 million in demand deposits and $59.6 million in time deposits.

Total average interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $1.2 billion from the first quarter of 2021, driven by a decrease in total interest-bearing deposits of $395.2 million and a decrease in long-term borrowings of $661.3 million. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $758.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

On March 21, 2022, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $75 million of shares of Fulton's common stock commencing on April 1, 2022 and expiring on December 31, 2022.

Asset Quality

In the first quarter of 2022, a negative provision for credit losses of $7.0 million was recognized, as compared to a negative provision for credit losses of $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and a negative provision for credit losses of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. The negative provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2022 was recorded to adjust the allowance for credit losses as a result of improved economic conditions.

Non-performing assets were $163.0 million, or 0.64% of total assets, at March 31, 2022, compared to $153.9 million, or 0.60% of total assets, and $156.1 million, or 0.60% of total assets, at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, were (0.02)% of total average loans, compared to 0.07% and 0.13% for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income before investment securities gains in the first quarter of 2022 was $55.2 million, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 13.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to declines in income from equity method investments of $4.0 million reflected in other income, mortgage banking income of $2.7 million due to lower gains on sales, and capital markets income of $1.3 million primarily due to lower fee income from commercial customer interest rate swaps, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million in wealth management income.

Compared to the first quarter of 2021, non-interest income before investment securities gains in the first quarter of 2022 decreased $6.7 million, or 10.8%, from $61.9 million. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to a $9.4 million decrease in mortgage banking income due to lower gains on sale, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in wealth management income.

In the first quarter of 2021, Fulton completed balance sheet restructurings involving sales of investment securities and corresponding prepayments of FHLB advances, subordinated debt and senior notes. The balance sheet restructuring involved gains on sales of Visa, Inc. Class B restricted shares of $34.0 million that were offset in non-interest expense by debt extinguishment of costs of $33.2 million.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $146.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $8.0 million, or 5.2%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in charitable contributions and donations of $2.2 million, state-related taxes of $1.7 million and a net gain for owned fixed assets of $1.5 million, all reflected in other expense. Additionally, the decrease in non-interest expense was also driven by decreases in other outside services of $1.5 million and salaries and benefits of $1.0 million. Included in non-interest expense was $0.4 million for merger-related expenses associated with the pending acquisition of Prudential Bancorp, Inc.

Compared to the first quarter of 2021, non-interest expense decreased $32.4 million, or 18.2%, in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to debt extinguishment costs of $33.2 million related to the prepayment of FHLB advances, subordinated debt and senior notes during the first quarter of 2021.

Income Tax Expense

For the first quarter of 2022, the effective tax rate was moderately lower at 17.1%, compared to 17.6% for the full-year of 2021.

Explanatory note:

This press release contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, which has been derived by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Corporation has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure follow:
