Fulton Financial Reports Fourth Quarter and 2019 Results

2019 Key Accomplishments

  • Termination of the remaining BSA/AML regulatory orders
  • Successful consolidation of affiliate banks into Fulton Bank, N.A.
  • Record year of revenues and net income
  • Average loan growth of 4% and average deposit growth of 6%
  • Net income grew 12% and pre-provision net revenue(1) increased 4%

LANCASTER, Pa.--()--Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:FULT) (“Fulton” or the “Corporation”) reported net income of $54 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019, and net income of $233 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, for 2019.

"Overall, 2019 was another good year for Fulton as we continued to execute on our growth strategies and completed the consolidation of our remaining affiliate banks into Fulton Bank,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman and CEO. “I’m extremely proud of our team’s hard work this year, and continued focus on driving shareholder value. We look forward to 2020 and believe we are well-positioned to continue to advance our strategic priorities.”

Net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased 11% to $0.33 in comparison to the $0.37 reported for the third quarter of 2019 and unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2018. The decline in net income from the third quarter of 2019 was primarily the result of a decrease in net interest income and an increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, net income per diluted share increased 18% to $1.39 in comparison to the $1.18 reported for 2018. The increase in net income was driven by a lower provision for credit losses and higher net interest income, non-interest income and securities gains, partially offset by higher non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income and Balance Sheet

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $159 million, a $2 million decrease from the third quarter of 2019. The decrease resulted from the impact of a 9 basis point decrease in net interest margin due mainly to the 25 basis point decrease in the federal funds rate in each of September and October 2019, partially offset by balance sheet growth. The decline in net interest margin resulted from the net impact of an 18 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by an 11 basis point decrease in average cost of funds. The decline in asset yields was primarily the result of a 24 basis point decrease in loan yields, partially offset by an 8 basis point increase in investment securities yields.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, net interest income increased $18 million, or 3%, driven mainly by a 4% increase in average interest-earning assets. The increase in average interest-earning assets was partially offset by the impact of a 4 basis point decrease in the net interest margin to 3.36%. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 18 basis points and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 28 basis points from 2018.

Total average assets for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $22 billion, an increase of $356 million from the third quarter of 2019, with average loans, net of unearned income, increasing $332 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, average deposits increased $934 million, or 6%, compared to 2018. Ending deposits at December 31, 2019 increased $1 billion, or 6%, compared to December 31, 2018.

Asset Quality

The provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $13 million, up from $2 million for the third quarter of 2019, driven primarily by a higher allocation need for a certain commercial loan.

Non-performing assets were $168 million, or 0.77% of total assets, at December 31, 2019, compared to $144 million, or 0.66% of total assets, at September 30, 2019 and $150 million, or 0.73% of total assets, at December 31, 2018.

Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 were 0.17% of total average loans, compared to 0.15% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 111% at December 31, 2019, compared to 127% at September 30, 2019.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2019, excluding investment securities gains, was $55 million, essentially unchanged from the third quarter of 2019 and $6 million, or 12%, higher than the fourth quarter of 2018.

Wealth management income increased due to growth in trust and brokerage income, both organically and, with respect to brokerage income, through the acquisitions completed in the first and fourth quarters of 2019. Mortgage banking income decreased due to seasonally lower loan volumes. Consumer banking income decreased, driven by decreases in card income. Commercial banking income increased, as higher commercial loan interest rate swap fees were partially offset by declines in merchant and card income.

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, $5 million of investment securities gains were realized during the quarter.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $16 million, or 8%, with increases across all major categories.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $140 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of $7 million, or 5%, compared to the third quarter of 2019 and a decrease of $1 million, or 1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.

The fourth quarter of 2019 included decreases in other outside services, marketing and intangible amortization, partially offset by increases in FDIC insurance expense, due to lower assessment credits, net occupancy expense and other expenses.

The third quarter of 2019 included $5 million of expenses related to the consolidation of the remaining subsidiary banks, primarily in other outside services. The third quarter also included $4 million of penalties related to the prepayment of certain FHLB advances in conjunction with the previously mentioned balance sheet restructuring.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, non-interest expense increased $23 million, or 4%, compared to 2018. This increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, other outside services and other expense, partially offset by decreases in amortization of tax credit investments and FDIC insurance expense.

Expenses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 related to the consolidation of the subsidiary banks were $11 million and $4 million, respectively, which were recognized in various categories in non-interest expense.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 13%, as compared to 14% for the third quarter of 2019, with the decrease resulting mainly from lower income before income taxes.

The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 was 14%, as compared to 11% in 2018. The increase resulted mainly from higher income before income taxes.

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:
