Strong year-over-year loan growth of $1 billion, matched by deposit growth of $1 billion , /PRNewswire/ -- WesBanco, Inc. ("WesBanco" or "Company") (Nasdaq: WSBC), a diversified, multi-state bank holding company, today announced net income and related earnings per share for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $47.1 million, with earnings per share of $0.70, compared to $32.4 million and $0.55 per share, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2023. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, net income was $141.4 million, or $2.26 per share, compared to $148.9 million, or $2.51 per share, for the 2023 period. As noted in the following table, net income available to common shareholders, excluding after-tax restructuring and merger-related expenses, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $146.4 million, or $2.34 per share, as compared to $151.9 million, or $2.56 per share (non-GAAP measures).

Financial and operational highlights during the quarter ended December 31, 2024: Total loan growth was 8.7% year-over-year and 6.6% over the sequential quarter, annualized Sequential quarter loan growth was fully funded through deposit growth Total loans are up $1.0 billion compared to the prior year, driven by commercial loan growth Total loans have grown at a compound annual rate of 9.1% since year-end 2021 Deposits of $14.1 billion increased 7.3% year-over-year and 8.6% over the sequential quarter, annualized Deposit growth, excluding certificates of deposit, increased 3.9% year-over-year and 7.7% over the sequential quarter, annualized Total deposits are up $1.0 billion compared to the prior year, matching loan growth Average loans to average deposits were 89.2%, providing continued capacity to fund loan growth Fee income increased $6.3 million, or 21%, year-over-year reflecting growth in net swap fee and valuation income, trust fees, and service charges on deposits, which include new products and services and treasury management fees 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 approvals WesBanco was recently named one of America's Best Regional Banks by Newsweek and a Most Trusted Company in America by Forbes "2024 was an excellent year for WesBanco. We delivered strong loan growth of $1 billion, which was fully funded by deposit growth. We also announced our transformational merger with Premier Financial and continued to earn national recognitions for stability, trustworthiness, and workplace excellence," said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer, WesBanco. "We have achieved a compound annual loan growth rate of 9% over the past three years, raised $200 million of common equity and paid down higher-cost borrowings – key successes in our strategy to strengthen our balance sheet and net interest margin. Additionally, we continued to focus on cost-control while enhancing our wealth and treasury management businesses to deepen client relationships and drive positive operating leverage. With the pending Premier Financial merger and the strength of our proven strategies, we are well positioned to build on our momentum and continue delivering value for our customers and stakeholders." Balance SheetAs of December 31, 2024, portfolio loans were $12.7 billion, which increased $1.0 billion, or 8.7%, year-over-year driven by strong performance by our banking teams across our markets. Total commercial loans of $9.1 billion increased 10.7% year-over-year and 8.5% quarter-over-quarter annualized. Commercial loan growth continues to reflect the success of our strategies, as well as lower commercial real estate payoffs, which totaled approximately $350 million during 2024. Deposits, as of December 31, 2024, were $14.1 billion, up 7.3% year-over-year and up 8.6% quarter-over-quarter annualized, reflecting the success of our efforts on deposit gathering and retention. 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 3.9% year-over-year and 7.7% quarter-over-quarter annualized. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings totaled $1.0 billion, at December 31, 2024, a decrease of 14.9%, or $175.0 million from September 30, 2024. This paydown was funded by deposit growth exceeding loan growth during the fourth quarter. Credit QualityAs of December 31, 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 3 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 0.47%, while non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased 6 basis points to 0.22% from the prior year period. The fourth quarter provision for credit losses decreased both year-over-year and sequentially to a negative provision of $0.1 million. The allowance for credit losses was $138.8 million at December 31, 2024, which provided a coverage ratio of 1.10%. The coverage ratio was down 3 basis points from prior quarter, primarily due to improvements in the macroeconomic forecasts related to lower unemployment assumptions and a more normalized yield curve, offsetting loan portfolio growth and office portfolio reserves. Excluded from the allowance for credit losses and related coverage ratio are fair market value adjustments on previously acquired loans representing 0.08% of total loans. Net Interest Margin and IncomeThe fourth quarter margin of 3.03% improved 8 basis points compared to the third quarter and 1 basis point on a year-over-year basis, through a combination of higher loan and securities yields and lower funding costs. Deposit funding costs were 271 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to 285 basis points in the third quarter of 2024 and 234 basis points in the prior year period.  When including non-interest bearing deposits, deposit funding costs for the fourth quarter were 197 basis points. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $126.5 million, an increase of $8.7 million, or 7.4% year-over-year, reflecting the impact of loan growth, higher loan and securities yields, and lower FHLB borrowings more than offsetting higher deposit funding costs. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, net interest income of $478.2 million decreased $3.1 million, or 0.7%, 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 IncomeFor the fourth quarter of 2024, non-interest income of $36.4 million increased $6.3 million, or 21.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2023 due to higher net swap fee and valuation income, service charges on deposits, and trust fees. Gross swap fees were $1.3 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $2.2 million in the prior year period, while fair value adjustments were $1.9 million compared to a loss of $2.5 million, respectively. Service charges on deposits increased $1.1 million year-over-year, reflecting fee income from new products and services and treasury management, as well as increased general consumer spending. Trust fees increased $0.8 million due to organic growth and market valuation changes. Other income included a $2.3 million gain from the transfer of certain liabilities for future pension payments to a third-party insurance company. Primarily reflecting the items discussed above and mortgage banking income, non-interest income, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, increased $7.5 million, or 6.3%, year-over-year to $128.0 million. Trust fees increased $2.5 million, reflecting higher assets under management from organic growth and market appreciation. Mortgage banking income increased $1.6 million year-over-year due to more residential mortgages sold in the secondary market, as well as an associated wider gain-on-sale margin. Non-Interest ExpenseNon-interest expense, excluding restructuring and merger-related costs, for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $100.5 million, a $1.0 million, or 1.0%, increase year-over-year primarily due to increases in equipment and software expenses, which increased $1.0 million reflecting the impact of the prior year ATM upgrades, which were phased in throughout the prior year. Excluding restructuring and merger-related expenses, non-interest expense for 2024 of $395.5 million increased $9.3 million, or 2.4%, compared to the prior year period, due primarily to equipment and software expense, as described above, other operating expenses, and higher FDIC insurance expense. Other operating expenses increased $5.3 million primarily due to higher costs and fees in support of loan growth and higher other miscellaneous expenses. FDIC insurance increased $2.0 million year-over-year due to an increase in the minimum rate for all banks. CapitalWesBanco 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, 2024, Tier I leverage was 10.68%, Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 13.06%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio ("CET 1") was 12.07%, and total risk-based capital was 15.88%. In addition, the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.70% due to strong earnings and the third quarter common equity raise.
