Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported financial results for WesBanco indicate a mixed performance. While there is an 8.7% year-over-year loan growth and a stable net interest margin of 3.02%, the net income available to common shareholders has decreased from $49.7 million in Q4 2022 to $32.4 million in Q4 2023. This decline in net income is noteworthy as it represents a significant reduction in profitability, which could be a red flag for investors. The decrease in net income despite loan growth suggests that the bank's cost of funds and operating expenses may be rising, potentially squeezing margins. The stable net interest margin is critical as it indicates the bank's ability to manage interest income against interest expenses despite a volatile interest rate environment.

From a capital perspective, WesBanco's regulatory capital ratios remain above

Financial and operational highlights during the quarter ended December 31, 2023:

• Deposits of $13.2 billion increased both year-over-year and sequentially, reflecting deposit gathering and retention efforts across retail and business customers
  • Average loans to average deposits were 87%, providing capacity to fund loan growth
• Total loan growth was 8.7% year-over-year and 2.9% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting the strength of our markets and lending teams
  • Loan production offices continued to contribute meaningfully to the commercial loan pipeline
• Non-interest income increased 8.0% year-over-year, supported by new commercial loan swap and wealth management fees
  • New commercial swap fees totaled $9.0 million during 2023
  • Trust assets increased to $5.4 billion, driven by both market value adjustments and organic growth
• Net interest margin of 3.02% was stable to the third quarter of 2023
• Key credit quality metrics such as non-performing assets, total past due loans, and net loan charge-offs, as percentages of total portfolio loans, have remained at low levels and favorable to peer bank averages (based upon the prior four quarters for banks with total assets between $10 billion and $25 billion)
• WesBanco remains well-capitalized with solid liquidity and a strong balance sheet with capacity to fund loan growth
• WesBanco continued to earn national accolades, being recognized as one of America's Best Regional Banks by Newsweek

"Record interest rate escalation by the Federal Reserve had a significant impact on all banks, including WesBanco. Despite that headwind, WesBanco performed well during 2023 through our continued focus on customer service and sustainable growth strategies. We achieved sustained loan, deposit, and fee income growth, while maintaining strong capital levels and credit quality," said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer, WesBanco. "Our focus on further diversifying our revenue streams with new fee-based services is driving positive non-interest income trends. As we begin 2024, we remain well-capitalized with solid liquidity and a strong balance sheet to fund loan growth, positioning us well to continue generating value for our stakeholders."

Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2023, total portfolio loans were $11.6 billion, which increased 8.7% year-over-year driven by strong performance from our commercial and residential lending teams. Total commercial loans of $8.2 billion, which increased 7.8% year-over-year, reflects the benefit of our commercial banker hiring and loan production office strategies and lower commercial real estate payoffs of $276 million for the year, compared to an anticipated level in the $500 million range within a more normal operating environment.  Our new loan production offices accounted for more than 20% of commercial loan growth during the year. The commercial pipeline totaled $0.7 billion at December 31, 2023, approximately 28% of which is from the four new loan production offices.

Total deposits, as of December 31, 2023, were $13.2 billion, up 0.6% from September 30, 2023 and up 0.3% from December 31, 2022, reflecting the benefit of deposit gathering and retention efforts by our retail and commercial teams. Reflecting the impact of the significant increase in the federal funds rate, there continued to be some mix shift in the composition of total deposits; however, total demand deposits continue to represent 56% of total deposits, with the non-interest bearing component representing 30%, which remains consistent with the percentage range since early 2020.

Credit Quality
As of December 31, 2023, total loans past due, criticized and classified loans, non-performing loans, and non-performing assets as percentages of the loan portfolio and total assets have remained low, from a historical perspective, and within a consistent range throughout the last five quarters. Total loans past due as a percent of the loan portfolio increased 9 basis points from the prior year, but remain below the quarterly average for the last three years. Criticized and classified loans as a percent of the loan portfolio decreased 12 basis points year-over-year to 2.22%, while non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets declined 9 basis points to 0.16%. The current recorded provision was primarily driven by changes in criticized and classified loan balances, prepayment assumptions, and loan growth. The allowance for credit losses to total portfolio loans at December 31, 2023 remained at 1.12% of total loans, as compared to the third quarter, or $130.7 million. Excluded from the allowance for credit losses and related coverage ratio are fair market value adjustments on previously acquired loans representing 0.12% of total loans.

Net Interest Margin and Income
The net interest margin of 3.02% for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased just 1 basis point sequentially but 47 basis points year-over-year primarily due to higher funding costs from increasing deposit costs and continued remix from non-interest bearing deposits into higher tier money market and certificate of deposit accounts. Total deposit funding costs were 234 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2023, and, when including non-interest deposits, total deposit funding costs were 161 basis points. Accretion from acquisitions benefited the fourth quarter net interest margin by 3 basis points, as compared to 5 basis points in the prior year period.

Fourth quarter net interest income of $117.8 million decreased $12.1 million, or 9.3%, year-over-year, reflecting the impact of rising rates on funding costs more than offsetting higher loan and securities yields and loan growth. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, net interest income of $481.3 million increased $7.0 million, or 1.5%, primarily due to loan growth and the benefit of rising rates on earning assets outpacing funding costs.

Non-Interest Income
For the fourth quarter of 2023, non-interest income of $30.1 million increased $2.3 million, or 8.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2022.  This increase was primarily due to net securities gains of $0.9 million, as compared to a loss of $0.6 million in the prior year period, from market fluctuations of equity securities in the deferred compensation plan and higher death benefits within bank-owned life insurance. The net swap fee and valuation loss of $0.3 million reflects $2.2 million of new swap fees offset by negative fair value adjustments of $2.5 million, as compared to $1.7 million and negative $0.7 million, respectively, in the prior year period.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, non-interest income of $120.4 million increased $3.1 million, or 2.6%, year-over-year due primarily to the items discussed above, partially offset by lower mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income decreased $2.5 million from the prior year to $2.7 million due to reduced fair value adjustments on mortgage derivatives. Net gains on other assets of $1.5 million increased $1.0 million year-over-year primarily due to a $1.1 million recovery of an asset previously written-off.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased $9.0 million year-over-year to $99.5 million, reflecting increased salaries and wages, benefits, equipment and software expense, and FDIC insurance. As anticipated, salaries and wages declined sequentially which reflects efficiency improvements in the mortgage staffing model. Salaries and wages increased $2.6 million, or 6.0%, compared to the prior year period due to higher salary expense related to annual merit increases and new revenue-producing hires, mainly commercial lenders, during the past year. Employee benefits increased $2.2 million year-over-year due to higher deferred compensation expense, the offsetting gain is located within net securities gains, and higher health insurance contributions. FDIC insurance expense increased $1.3 million year-over-year due to an increase in the minimum rate for all banks. Marketing expense increased $1.2 million in support of deposit and loan generation campaigns. Equipment and software expense increased $0.9 million due to the planned upgrade of our ATM fleet with the latest technology and general inflationary cost increases for existing service agreements.

Excluding restructuring and merger-related expenses, non-interest expense during the twelve months of 2023 of $386.2 million increased $30.9 million compared to the prior year period, due primarily to the same factors as described above.

Capital
WesBanco continues to maintain what we believe are strong regulatory capital ratios, as both consolidated and bank-level regulatory capital ratios are well above the applicable "well-capitalized" standards promulgated by bank regulators and the BASEL III capital standards. At December 31, 2023, Tier I leverage was 9.87%, Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 12.05%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio ("CET 1") was 10.99%, and total risk-based capital was 14.91%. In addition, the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio improved to 7.62%.

(2) The yield on earning assets, net interest margin, net interest spread and efficiency ratios are presented on a fully
taxable-equivalent (FTE) and annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt
loans and investments.   WesBanco believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and
provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.
