Insights

WesBanco's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with some positive operational metrics despite earnings pressure. Net income of $34.7 million ($0.54 per share) remained relatively flat year-over-year, while year-to-date earnings declined to $94.3 million from $116.5 million. Notable strengths include robust loan growth of 10.0% year-over-year and strong deposit growth of 12.1% annualized in Q3. The successful $200 million equity raise strengthened the capital position, with CET1 at 11.89%. However, margin pressure persists with net interest margin at 2.95%, down 8 basis points year-over-year due to higher funding costs. Credit quality remains solid with manageable non-performing assets, though loan loss provisions increased due to economic factors.

Strong sequential quarter deposit growth of 12.1% annualized and loan growth of 6.3% annualized

    • WTIS assets under management increased 21.7% year-over-year to a record $6.1 billion
    • Broker-dealer securities account values increased 15.8% year-over-year to a record $1.9 billion
  • Key credit quality metrics continued to remain 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)
  • The acquisition of Premier Financial Corp. remains on track, pending regulatory and shareholder approvals
  • WesBanco was recently named one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Parents and Families by Newsweek

"WesBanco marked strong momentum in the third quarter, driven by strategic actions that continue to strengthen our balance sheet, including robust deposit and loan growth and the pay down of higher cost borrowings. Over the last year, WesBanco has grown loans by $1.1 billion and deposits by $0.7 billion, reflecting the strength of our people, markets and strategies," said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer, WesBanco. "We are focused on organic growth and efficiency gains to achieve positive operating leverage. We also successfully raised $200 million of common equity during the quarter to position WesBanco for future growth. With the pending acquisition of Premier Financial, we expect to accelerate our positive momentum, build on their legacy of community engagement and support, and together bring the resources of a larger and stronger financial services organization to all of our communities."

Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2024, portfolio loans were $12.5 billion, which increased $1.1 billion, or 10.0%, year-over-year driven by strong performance from our commercial and residential lending teams. Total commercial loans of $8.9 billion increased 11.9% year-over-year and 7.5% quarter-over-quarter annualized. Commercial loan growth continues to reflect the success of our strategies, as well as lower commercial real estate payoffs, which have totaled approximately $185 million year-to-date. Total residential lending reflects increased mortgage origination production and home equity line of credit usage.

Deposits, as of September 30, 2024, were $13.8 billion, up 5.7% year-over-year and up 12.1% annualized from June 30, 2024, reflecting the success of our summer deposit gathering and retention campaign. The composition of total deposits continues to have some mix shift; however, total demand deposits continue to represent 54% of total deposits, with the non-interest bearing component representing 27%, which remains consistent with the percentage range prior to the pandemic. When excluding certificate of deposits, total deposits increased 2.2% year-over-year and 4.3% quarter-over-quarter annualized.

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings totaled $1.2 billion, at September 30, 2024, a decrease of 20.3%, or $300.0 million from June 30, 2024. This decrease was driven by deposit growth exceeding loan growth and $200 million of equity raised in the third quarter.

Credit Quality
As of September 30, 2024, 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 through the last three years. Total loans past due as a percent of the loan portfolio increased 20 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 0.44%, while non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets declined slightly from the prior quarter and year periods. The third quarter provision for credit losses declined both year-over-year and sequentially to $4.8 million. The allowance for credit losses to total portfolio loans at September 30, 2024 increased to 1.13% of total loans, or $140.9 million, primarily due to higher unemployment assumptions and other qualitative adjustments. Excluded from the allowance for credit losses and related coverage ratio are fair market value adjustments on previously acquired loans representing 0.09% of total loans.

Net Interest Margin and Income
The year-to-date net interest margin improved 1 basis point to 2.94% compared to the second quarter period. The third quarter margin of 2.95% remained stable compared to the second quarter and reflected both higher loan yields and higher funding costs. On a year-over-year basis, the net interest margin was 8 basis points lower primarily due to higher funding costs from the remix of non-interest bearing deposits into higher tier money market and certificate of deposit accounts during the back half of 2023. Deposit funding costs were 285 basis points for the third quarter of 2024, and, when including non-interest bearing deposits, deposit funding costs were 205 basis points.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $121.1 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 2.9% year-over-year, reflecting the impact of loan growth and higher loan and securities yields more than offsetting higher funding costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net interest income of $351.7 million decreased $11.9 million, or 3.3%, primarily due to higher funding costs offsetting the impact of loan growth and higher loan and securities yields in the year-to-date period.

Non-Interest Income
For the third quarter of 2024, non-interest income of $29.6 million decreased $1.3 million, or 4.1%, from the third quarter of 2023 due to lower net swap fee and valuation income. Gross swap fees were $1.1 million in the third quarter, compared to $2.5 million in the prior year period, while fair value adjustments were a $1.7 million loss compared to a gain of $1.4 million, respectively. Service charges on deposits increased $1.2 million year-over-year, reflecting fee income from new products and services and increased general consumer spending. Trust fees increased $0.8 million, reflecting higher assets under management from organic growth and market appreciation.

Primarily reflecting the items discussed above, as well as mortgage banking income, non-interest income, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $1.2 million, or 1.4%, year-over-year to $91.6 million. Mortgage banking income increased $1.0 million year-over-year due to a wider gain-on-sale margin for residential mortgages sold in the secondary market.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense, excluding restructuring and merger-related costs, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $99.2 million, a $1.9 million, or 2.0%, increase year-over-year primarily due to increases in other operating expenses and equipment and software expenses. Other operating expenses increased $1.5 million primarily due to higher costs and fees in support of loan growth and higher other miscellaneous expenses. Equipment and software expense increased $1.0 million reflecting the impact of the prior year ATM upgrades, which were phased in throughout the prior year. Salaries and wages decreased $0.5 million compared to the prior year period due to lower staffing levels associated with efficiency improvements in the mortgage and branch staffing models, partially offset by normal compensation merit adjustments. Employee benefits decreased $0.4 million due to lower health insurance costs driven by lower staffing levels, as compared to the prior year period.

Excluding restructuring and merger-related expenses, non-interest expense during the first nine months of 2024 of $295.0 million increased $8.3 million, or 2.9%, compared to the prior year period, due primarily to other operating expenses and equipment and software expense, as described above, and higher FDIC insurance expense. FDIC insurance increased $1.7 million year-over-year due to due to an increase in the minimum rate for all banks.

Capital
As previously disclosed in conjunction with the announcement of the pending acquisition of Premier Financial Corp., WesBanco successfully raised $200 million of common equity, on August 1, 2024, to support the pro-forma bank's balance sheet, regulatory ratios, and future growth. The equity was raised from a blend of existing and new institutional shareholders and adds long-term support to WesBanco's shareholder base, as well as providing additional liquidity. The proceeds were subsequently used to pay down Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.

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 September 30, 2024, Tier I leverage was 10.69%, Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 12.89%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio ("CET 1") was 11.89%, and total risk-based capital was 15.74%. In addition, the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio increased from 7.52% in the prior sequential quarter to 8.84% due to the common equity raise and strong earnings.
