FULT - Fulton Financial Reports First Quarter Net Income of $56.7 Million or $0.33 Per Share

Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:FULT) (“Fulton” or the “Corporation”) reported net income of $56.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190416005962/en/

“Overall, I am pleased with our first quarter results as we saw seasonally strong loan growth to start the year with stable credit conditions and a five basis point increase in our net interest margin,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to building off the first quarter momentum by continuing to execute on our corporate strategies that will allow us to grow earnings and enhance shareholder value.”

Net income per diluted share was unchanged from the $0.33 reported for the fourth quarter of 2018 and increased 17.9% from the first quarter of 2018.

Net Interest Income and Balance Sheet

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2019 was $163.3 million, slightly higher than the fourth quarter of 2018, as the positive impact of a five basis point increase in the net interest margin, to 3.49%, and an increase in average loans, was largely offset by two fewer days of interest accruals during the first quarter of 2019 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2018. The improvement in the net interest margin resulted from a thirteen basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets which outpaced the nine basis point increase in the average cost of funds.

Total average assets for the first quarter of 2019 were $20.7 billion, an increase of $178.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2018. Average loans, net of unearned income, increased $228.7 million, or 1.4%, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2018.

Average loans and yields, by type, for the first quarter of 2019 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2018 are summarized in the following table:

Asset Quality

The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2019 was $5.1 million, compared to $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Non-performing assets were $147.7 million, or 0.70% of total assets, at March 31, 2019, compared to $150.2 million, or 0.73% of total assets, at December 31, 2018 and $145.4 million, or 0.73% of total assets, at March 31, 2018.

Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were 0.10% of total average loans, compared to 0.17% and 0.10% for the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 123% at March 31, 2019, compared to 121% at December 31, 2018 and a 131% at March 31, 2018.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income in the first quarter of 2019, excluding investment securities gains, was $46.7 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 5.7%, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2018 and an increase of $0.8 million, or 1.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2018. Seasonal decreases occurred in consumer fees, specifically overdraft fees and card income. In addition, commercial fees showed a decrease in Small Business Administration lending income and commercial loan interest rate swap fees.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $137.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 2.0%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 and an increase of $1.2 million, or 0.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in amortization of tax credit investments resulted from $4.9 million of amortization of a tax credit investment in the fourth quarter of 2018 that generated a corresponding credit to income taxes. Excluding the amortization of this tax credit investment in the fourth quarter, non-interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 1.5%, in the first quarter of 2019, which was driven by increases in salaries and employee benefits, specifically a seasonal increase in payroll taxes, marketing and professional fees. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other outside services.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Corporation incurred $1.0 million of costs related to the consolidation of eight branches, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2018. Expenses related to charter consolidation efforts were $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, a $600,000 increase from the fourth quarter of 2018.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was 15.6%, as compared to 8.6% for the fourth quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned tax credit, the effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter would have been 14.6%.

FULTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
in thousands, except per share data and percentages
 

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:
