Fulton Financial Reports Third Quarter Net Income of $62.1 Million, or $0.37 Per Diluted Share

LANCASTER, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:FULT) (“Fulton” or the “Corporation”) reported net income of $62.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2019, and net income of $178.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.


Overall, we were pleased with our third quarter results. Our consumer and commercial businesses had strong loan growth during the quarter despite the competitive headwinds in the market. Other positives for the quarter included stable credit conditions, solid fee income growth and essentially flat operating expenses, linked quarter, excluding charter consolidation expenses, prepayment penalties on FHLB advances and FDIC insurance credits,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman and CEO. “On the corporate front, we consolidated our last remaining affiliate banks into Fulton Bank in September. Also, in early October the Department of Justice informed us that the Department had completed its fair lending investigation of Fulton without taking any action against the company. These are two important milestones that should help facilitate growth moving forward.”

Net income per diluted share increased 5.7% in comparison to the $0.35 reported for the second quarter of 2019 and remained unchanged from the $0.37 reported for the third quarter of 2018. The increase in net income over the second quarter of 2019 was the result of increases in non-interest income and a decrease in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income and Balance Sheet

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2019 was $161.3 million, a $3.3 million decrease from the second quarter of 2019. The decrease resulted from the impact of a 13 basis point decrease in net interest margin, partially offset by balance sheet growth. The decline in net interest margin resulted from a 12 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets and a one basis point increase in average cost of funds. The declines in asset yields were primarily the result of the 25 basis point decreases in the federal funds target rate in July and in September 2019, which had a more pronounced impact on loan yields than overall funding costs.

Total average assets for the third quarter of 2019 were $21.5 billion, an increase of $400.8 million from the second quarter of 2019, with average loans, net of unearned income, increasing $121.0 million, average other interest-earning assets increasing $100.0 million and the remaining increase occurring mainly in non interest-earning assets.

Asset Quality

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2019 was $2.2 million, down from $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2019.

Non-performing assets were $143.7 million, or 0.66% of total assets, at September 30, 2019, compared to $155.0 million, or 0.73% of total assets, at June 30, 2019 and $130.8 million, or 0.64% of total assets, at September 30, 2018.

Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 were 0.15% of total average loans, compared to net recoveries of 0.04% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 127% at September 30, 2019, compared to 120% at June 30, 2019.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income in the third quarter of 2019, excluding investment securities gains, was $55.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 2.2%, in comparison to the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of $4.3 million, or 8.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Consumer banking income increased, driven by growth in card income. Commercial banking income decreased slightly as higher commercial loan interest rate swap fees were offset by declines in merchant and card income and Small Business Administration (SBA) loan sale gains. Other income increased $595,000 mainly due to earnings on additional investments in bank-owned life insurance.

During the third quarter of 2019, Fulton completed a balance sheet restructuring involving the sale of approximately $400 million of investment securities and a corresponding prepayment of FHLB advances. As a result of these transactions, $4.5 million of investment securities gains were realized during the quarter.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $146.8 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $2.6 million, or 1.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of $11.4 million, or 8.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2019 related to the consolidation of the remaining subsidiary banks were comparable to the prior quarter, totaling approximately $5.2 million, primarily in outside services and other expenses. Increases were realized in other expenses, including approximately $4.3 million of penalties related to the prepayment of certain FHLB advances in conjunction with the previously mentioned balance sheet restructuring. These increases were partially offset by decreases in occupancy costs and FDIC insurance due to the recognition of assessment credits of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was 13.9%, as compared to 14.2% for the second quarter of 2019.
