Fulton Financial Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

LANCASTER, Pa., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FULT) (“Fulton” or the “Corporation”) reported net income available to common shareholders of $92.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $33.0 million, or $0.16 per share, in comparison to the first quarter of 2024. Operating net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $82.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share(1), an increase of $17.1 million, or $0.07 per share in comparison to the first quarter of 2024.

“The second quarter was an extraordinary quarter for Fulton. I want to personally thank both our new Republic teammates and our dedicated Fulton team for an exceptional effort,” said Curtis J. Myers Chairman and CEO of Fulton Financial Corporation. “Fulton’s solid performance, steady business trends and stable asset quality were supplemented by a meaningful contribution from the Republic transaction.”

Republic Transaction

  • On April 26, 2024, the Corporation announced that its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Fulton Bank, National Association (“Fulton Bank”), acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the deposits and certain liabilities of Republic First Bank, doing business as Republic Bank (“Republic Bank”), from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), as receiver for Republic Bank (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement – Whole Bank, All Deposits, effective as of April 26, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), among the FDIC, as receiver of Republic Bank, the FDIC and Fulton Bank.



  • The Acquisition included total assets with preliminary fair values of approximately $4.8 billion including total loans with preliminary fair values of approximately $2.5 billion and investments with a fair value of $1.9 billion. Following the Acquisition, the Corporation sold the acquired investments with a portion of the proceeds used to repay $1.4 billion of assumed borrowings. In the Acquisition, the Corporation assumed $4.1 billion of deposits without a premium. Additionally, the Corporation received $809.9 million in cash from the FDIC and $208.5 million in cash reflected on Republic Bank’s balance sheet.

Financial Highlights

Second quarter of 2024 results were impacted by the following items:

  • Preliminary gain on acquisition of $47.4 million (net of tax).



  • Core deposit intangible of $92.6 million in connection with the Acquisition resulting in intangible amortization expense of $4.1 million for the quarter.



  • Provision for credit losses of $23.4 million related to non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Acquisition.



  • Acquisition-related expenses of $13.8 million.



  • Pre-tax gain of $20.3 million in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction (the “Sale-Leaseback Transaction”) involving 40 Fulton Bank financial center office locations.



  • Restructured a portion of the available-for-sale investment portfolio and realized a pre-tax loss of $20.3 million on the sale of $356.4 million of investment securities with the proceeds reinvested in higher-yielding securities of a similar type and similar duration.



  • FultonFirst implementation and asset disposal costs of $6.3 million.



  • Issued 19,166,667 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share resulting in proceeds of approximately $273.0 million net of issuance costs.

The following items highlight notable changes in the components of net income in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024:

  • Net interest income totaled $241.7 million, an increase of $34.8 million. The Acquisition contributed approximately $30.7 million to the increase.



  • Net interest margin was 3.43%, an increase of 11 basis points, entirely due to the Acquisition.



  • Non-interest income before investment securities gains (losses) was $113.3 million compared to $57.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $47.4 million gain on acquisition (net of tax) as well as $2.8 million from Republic Bank’s operations. The remaining $6.1 million increase in non-interest income included a $1.3 million decrease in losses from equity method investments, a $0.9 million increase in merchant fee income due to seasonality and a merchant fee increase during the quarter, a $0.9 million increase in mortgage banking income from higher loan volumes and higher spreads, an $0.8 million increase in wealth management revenues due to an increase in assets under management in the brokerage business due to equity market returns and organic sales results, a $0.6 million increase in cash management fee income due to an increase in account analysis fees with customers electing to move funds to interest-bearing accounts along with a pricing increase and a $0.3 million increase in gains from Small Business Administration loan sales.



  • Excluding the $20.3 million gain on the Sale-Leaseback Transaction, reflected in other expense, non-interest expense was $219.8 million compared to $177.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was largely due to $13.8 million of Acquisition-related expenses and $21.1 million from Republic Bank’s operations. The remaining increase of $7.3 million was primarily due to a $6.7 million increase in salaries and benefits expense as a result of an increase in variable incentive expenses, the impact of the annual merit increases and approximately $1.0 million of severance costs related to the FultonFirst initiative.

Balance Sheet Summary

  • Net loans totaled $24.1 billion, an increase of $2.7 billion compared to $21.4 billion as of March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the Acquisition resulting in an increase of $2.5 billion based on preliminary fair values as of the Acquisition Date. The reduction in fair value on the acquired loans as of the Acquisition Date was $378.9 million, which included an adjustment for interest rates of $299.5 million, an adjustment for credit of $55.9 million on purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans and an adjustment for credit of $23.4 million for non-PCD loans. Excluding the impact from the day 1 PCD credit-related adjustment of $55.9 million and purchase accounting accretion of $10.4 million, net loans acquired from Republic Bank declined approximately $33.1 million subsequent to the Acquisition Date. Excluding the Acquisition, net loans increased $123.6 million largely due to increases of $102.9 million and $63.8 million in residential mortgage loans and construction loans, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $25.7 million in consumer loans and a $19.8 million decrease in leases and other loans.



  • Deposits totaled $25.6 billion, an increase of $3.8 billion compared to $21.7 billion as of March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the Acquisition resulting in an increase of $3.6 billion based on preliminary fair values as of the Acquisition Date. Deposits assumed in the Acquisition declined approximately $357.3 million subsequent to the Acquisition Date. Excluding the Acquisition, deposits increased $62.7 million largely due to increases of $180.1 million, $159.4 million and $102.8 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, time deposits and savings deposits, respectively, partially offset by decreases of $190.8 million in brokered deposits and $188.8 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

  • The provision for credit losses was $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily related to the Acquisition, which included a provision for credit losses of $23.4 million for non-PCD loans. Excluding the Acquisition, the provision declined $2.2 million primarily due to a $1.4 million reduction in the reserve for unfunded commitments.



  • Non-performing assets were $163.8 million, or 0.52% of total assets, at June 30, 2024, in comparison to $156.4 million, or 0.57% of total assets, at March 31, 2024. The dollar increase was largely due to the Acquisition.



  • Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2024 were 0.19% of total average loans in comparison to 0.16% in the first quarter of 2024.



  • The allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans totaled $375.9 million, or 1.56% of total loans at June 30, 2024, an increase of $78.1 million. The Acquisition resulted in a $79.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses.

(dollars in thousands, except per share and share data)
















Explanatory

note:

This press release contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, that has been derived by methods other than 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 and financial condition. 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:
