"I am pleased with our first quarter results, with organic deposit growth outstripping loan originations and a resilient net interest margin that overcame the most funding pressure we've seen since the Federal Reserve began raising rates in March of 2022," stated T. Michael Price, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While our loan growth moderated in the first quarter, we believe our geographic expansion and the scaling of our de novo equipment finance business will help offset any slowdown in borrower demand," Price continued, "We all received a healthy reminder this quarter of how important balance sheet management and appropriate risk oversight are to the banking industry. Our capital, liquidity and financial positions remain strong and we believe our granular, diversified core depository highlights the value of our franchise."
Earnings
Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $30.2 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to $35.7 million, or $0.38 per share in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $27.7 million, or $0.29 per share for the first quarter of 2022.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (FTE) of $94.7 million increased $6.3 million from the previous quarter and $26.2 million from the prior year quarter. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an $803.0 million increase in average interest earning assets, which includes $637.6 million in average earning assets from the Centric acquisition.
The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 4.01%, an increase of two basis points from the previous quarter and an increase of 82 basis points from the first quarter of 2022. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2022 was due primarily to a six basis point increase in purchase accounting accretion and a 52 basis point increase in the yield on loans, offset by a 52 basis point increase in the cost of deposits.
Total average deposits (excluding acquired deposits) grew $271.5 million in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the previous quarter. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits (excluding acquired deposits) grew $176.8 million and average time deposits (excluding acquired deposits) grew $282.4 million, which was partially offset by a $187.7 million decrease in average noninterest-bearing deposits (excluding acquired deposits).
Asset Quality
Provision expense in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $8.0 million and included $10.7 million of day-1 non-PCD provision expense resulting from the Centric acquisition. The decrease in the provision expense for the non-acquired portfolio was primarily the result of a decrease in unfunded commitment reserves related to decreases in construction commitments and lower loan originations as compared to the previous quarter.
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) as a percentage of end-of-period loans was 1.55% in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 1.35% in the previous quarter.
At March 31, 2023, nonperforming loans totaled $44.2 million, an increase of $8.7 million from the previous quarter and an increase of $6.8 million from the previous year quarter. The increase from the prior quarters was primarily due to $14.8 million of nonperforming loans acquired from the Centric acquisition in the first quarter of 2023 and the adoption of ASU 2022-02 which removed $6.4 million of accruing troubled debt restructured (TDRs) in the prior quarter.
Nonperforming loans represented 0.51% of total loans as of March 31, 2023 as compared to 0.46% and 0.54% for the periods ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
At March 31, 2023, criticized loans totaled $189.9 million, an increase of $57.0 million from the previous quarter. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to $70.2 million of criticized loans purchased in the Centric acquisition.
During the first quarter of 2023, net charge-offs/(recoveries) were $1.2 million, compared to $2.0 million in the prior quarter and $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. Net charge-offs were 0.06%, 0.11% and 0.07% of average loans (annualized) for the periods ended March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income totaled $23.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $24.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $24.0 million for the first quarter of 2022. There were no material securities gains during the current or comparable quarters.
The $1.3 million decrease from the previous quarter was primarily driven by a $1.6 million gain on a limited partnership investment included in other revenue in the previous quarter and a $0.5 million decrease in swap fee income, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in the gain on sale of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.
Noninterest expense (excluding merger-related) totaled $62.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $57.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $55.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The $5.8 million increase from the previous quarter was primarily the result of a $2.6 million increase in salaries and benefits, a $0.7 million increase in FDIC insurance, a $0.6 million increase in occupancy expense, and a $0.6 million increase in advertising and promotion expenses. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by the Centric acquisition and an increase of 112 full time equivalent staff.
The core efficiency ratio was 52.41% during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 50.00% in the previous quarter and 59.47% in the first quarter of 2022.
Full time equivalent staff was 1,536 at March 31, 2023, 1,424 at December 31, 2022, and 1,432 at March 31, 2022.
Dividends and Capital
First Commonwealth Financial Corporation declared a common stock quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share, which represents a 4.2% increase from the previous quarter. The cash dividend is payable on May 19, 2023 to shareholders of record as of May 5, 2023. This dividend represents a 4.2% projected annual yield utilizing the April 24, 2023 closing market price of $11.86.
First Commonwealth's capital ratios for Total, Tier I, Leverage and Common Equity Tier I at March 31, 2023 were 13.8%, 11.5%, 10.2% and 10.8%, respectively. First Commonwealth's current capital levels exceed the fully phased-in Basel III capital requirements issued by U.S. bank regulators.
