CINCINNATI, April 25, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- First Financial Bancorp. (Nasdaq: FFBC) ("First Financial" or the "Company") announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company reported net income of $50.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted common share. These results compare to net income of $56.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2024 was 1.18% while return on average tangible common equity was 17.35%(1). These compare to return on average assets of 1.31% and return on average tangible common equity of 21.36%(1) in the fourth quarter of 2023.
First quarter 2024 highlights include:
_________________________________________________________________________________________
(1) Non-GAAP measure. For details on the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the GAAP financial measure, see the sections titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release and "Appendix: Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation" in the accompanying slide presentation.
Additionally, the board of directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per common share for the next regularly scheduled dividend, payable on June 17, 2024 to shareholders of record as of June 3, 2024.
Archie Brown, President and CEO, commented on the quarter, "I am pleased with our first quarter results and encouraged by our trends, several of which were bolstered by actions we took during the quarter. These actions included a repositioning of a portion of the investment portfolio, a workforce efficiency initiative, and the acquisition of Agile Premium Finance. We also commenced the restructuring of a portion of our bank owned life insurance portfolio, which is expected to increase income in the back half of the year."
Mr. Brown continued, "Adjusted(1) earnings per share were $0.59, which resulted in an adjusted(1) return on assets of 1.30% and an adjusted(1) return on tangible common equity of 19.1%. At 4.10%, the net interest margin remains very strong. Asset yields remained steady during the quarter, however, as expected, the continued rise of funding costs negatively impacted our net interest margin. Additionally, loan growth was robust for the second consecutive quarter with balances increasing by 10% on an annualized basis. Average deposit growth slowed for the quarter to a 2.3% annualized growth rate and included a seasonal outflow of business deposits in the first part of the quarter."
Mr. Brown continued, "I am also pleased that noninterest income rebounded from the fourth quarter with increases across most of our fee revenue areas. During the quarter, we incurred a loss on the sale of investment securities associated with the repositioning of a portion of the investment portfolio. This repositioning has a very short earnback and should enhance our asset yields going forward. We also intensified our focus on expenses during the first quarter. Our workforce efficiency initiative resulted in the reduction of 43 associates during the quarter and we will continue to evaluate additional expense reductions throughout 2024. While expenses increased on a linked quarter basis, most of the increase was related to seasonal employee costs and variable compensation tied to the increase in fee income."
Mr. Brown discussed the Agile acquisition, "We are excited to add Agile to our mix of specialty businesses. Agile operates an impressive business model, which originates high-quality, short duration loans at attractive yields. At closing, we acquired $93 million in loans, which grew to $119 million at quarter end. We believe Agile will further diversify the loan portfolio and is a perfect complement to our Oak Street and commercial banking businesses."
Mr. Brown commented on asset quality, "Asset quality was stable for the quarter. Net charge-offs declined for the second consecutive quarter to 38 basis points and were primarily driven by charges on two office loans that had been on nonaccrual since early 2023. These two loans have been charged down to their net realizable value and no other office loans were considered classified at the end of the first quarter. Overall, classified assets increased 12 basis points to 0.92% of assets, while nonperforming assets declined 9.8% from the prior quarter."
Mr. Brown concluded, "I am pleased with our quarter and with the work our teams are doing to continuously improve the Company. While we are in a difficult operating environment for the industry, I am encouraged by our results and trends, and I expect we will have another strong year."
Full detail of the Company's first quarter 2024 performance is provided in the accompanying financial statements and slide presentation.

(1) Non-GAAP measure. For details on the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the GAAP financial measure, see the sections titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release and "Appendix: Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation" in the accompanying slide presentation. |
(2) The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons. |
(3) March 31, 2024 regulatory capital ratios are preliminary. |
(4) Includes loans held for sale. |

(1)The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons. |
