First Financial Bancorp Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

Second Quarter 2019 Earnings per Diluted Share Increased 13% from First Quarter 2019
7.8% Loan Growth on an Annualized Basis
Board Approves Dividend Increase

Cincinnati, Ohio - July 18, 2019 - First Financial Bancorp. (Nasdaq: FFBC) (“First Financial” or the “Company”) announced financial results for the second quarter 2019 and an increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.22 to $0.23 per share, payable on September 16, 2019 to shareholders of record as of September 2, 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported net income of $52.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted common share. These results compare to net income of $45.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2019 and $36.4 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2018. Second quarter 2019 income before taxes was negatively impacted by $5.2 million of severance and merger related costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, First Financial had earnings per diluted common share of $1.00 compared to $0.83 for the same period in 2018.

Return on average assets for the second quarter of 2019 was 1.50% while return on average tangible common equity was 17.33%. These compare to returns on average assets of 1.33% and 1.05%, and returns on average tangible common equity of 15.95% and 13.75%, in the first quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2018, respectively.

Second quarter 2019 highlights include:

After adjustments(1) for merger-related and nonrecurring items:
Net income of $0.58 per diluted common share
1.63% return on average assets
18.87% return on average tangible common equity

Loan balances grew 7.8% on an annualized basis
$171.6 million increase compared to the linked quarter

Net interest margin of 4.04% on a fully tax-equivalent basis(1) 
6 basis point reduction from the linked quarter driven by higher funding costs and day count

Noninterest income increased 29.1% compared to the linked quarter
Driven by record client derivative fees and solid mortgage banking activity combined with higher bankcard and service charge income

Noninterest expenses of $84.4 million, or $78.9 million as adjusted(1)
Efficiency ratio of 53.8% for the second quarter; 50.3% as adjusted(1) 
    
Provision expense of $6.7 million; primarily impacted by additional reserves required for the franchise relationship discussed in the first quarter

Strong capital ratios
Total capital of 14.21%; Tier 1 common equity of 12.02%; Tangible common equity of 9.34%
Tangible book value increased to $12.79
____________________________________________________________________________________________(1) Financial information in this release that is described as “adjusted” or that is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis is non-GAAP.

Archie Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The second quarter of 2019 was another highly successful one for First Financial, and further demonstrates the consistency and capabilities of the Company. Loan growth, net interest margin, fee income and efficiency all met or surpassed our expectations resulting in adjusted(1) earnings per share of $0.58 and a top quartile adjusted(1) return on assets of 1.63%.”
Mr. Brown continued, “We remain optimistic about the prospect of sustained success in the near term. We were particularly pleased with the level of loan growth during the quarter, in addition to record fee income and prudent expense management. While we face some pressure on the margin given the expected rate environment, we are working to mitigate the potential impact through disciplined deposit pricing initiatives. Aside from additional provision related to the workout of the franchise credit disclosed last quarter, credit costs were better than expectations and overall credit remains stable."

Mr. Brown concluded, "We were excited to announce the acquisition of Bannockburn Global Forex, LLC, which will enhance our capabilities to serve middle market clients, broaden our customer base and drive higher fee income. Additionally, we are pleased to announce an increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.23, reflecting our commitment to deploying capital in a way that sustains financial and operating success in addition to directly rewarding shareholders. While the announced acquisition impacted potential share repurchase activity during the quarter, our strong capital levels provide the flexibility for further additional capital deployment opportunities in the future."
Full detail of the Company’s second quarter and year to date performance is provided in the accompanying financial statements and slide presentation.

(1) The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.

(1) The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.

(1) The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.
