ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of First Commonwealth Financial Corporation and ~~its~~ subsidiaries (“First Commonwealth” or the “Company”) conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual realized amounts could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of First Commonwealth’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity as of and for the periods presented. Certain information and Note disclosures normally included in Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing bank deposits. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year of ~~2021.~~2022. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with First Commonwealth’s ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 2 Acquisition

On August 30, 2022, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire Centric Financial Corporation (“Centric”) and its banking subsidiary, Centric Bank. Based on June 30, 2022 carrying values, Centric will contribute approximately $1.0 billion in total assets, $0.9 billion in total deposits and $0.9 billion in total loans in addition to seven full-service banking offices and one loan production office in the Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Lancaster MSAs. The acquisition is an all-stock transaction and Centric shareholders will be entitled to receive a fixed exchange ratio of 1.09 shares of First Commonwealth common stock for each Centric common stock. This merger is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2023, subject to certain closing conditions, including approval by Centric Shareholders and customary bank regulatory approvals.

Note 56 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Commitments and Letters of Credit

Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by First Commonwealth to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The contract or notional amount of these instruments reflects the maximum amount of future payments that First Commonwealth could be required to pay under the guarantees if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. In addition, many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The following table identifies the notional amount of those instruments at:


		September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020			September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

~~FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

The notional amounts outstanding as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 include amounts issued in ~~2021~~2022 of ~~$2.5~~$6.1 million in performance standby letters of credit and ~~$0.1~~$0.6 million in financial standby letters of credit. There were no commercial letters of credit issued in ~~2021, however there was a change in terms for one letter of credit which increased its commitment amount.~~2022. A liability of $0.1 million has been recorded as of both September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, which represents the estimated fair value of letters of credit issued. The fair value of letters of credit is estimated based on the unrecognized portion of fees received at the time the commitment was issued.

Unused commitments and letters of credit provide exposure to future credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower or guaranteed parties. Management’s evaluation of the credit risk related to these commitments resulted in the recording of a liability of ~~$6.4~~$9.7 million and ~~$7.4~~$6.4 million as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. This liability is reflected in "Other liabilities" in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The credit risk evaluation incorporates the expected loss percentage calculated for comparable loan categories as part of the allowance for credit losses for loans as well as estimated utilization for each loan category.

Legal Proceedings

First Commonwealth and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of litigation pending or threatened against First Commonwealth or its subsidiaries will be material to First Commonwealth’s consolidated financial position. On at least a quarterly basis, First Commonwealth assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with such legal proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that First Commonwealth will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, First Commonwealth records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. To the extent the pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. Although not considered probable, the range of reasonably possible losses for such matters in the aggregate, beyond the existing recorded liability (if any), is between $0 and $1 million. Although First Commonwealth does not believe that the outcome of pending litigation will be material to First Commonwealth’s consolidated financial position, it cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes will be material to the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for a particular reporting period in the future.

Mortgage-backed securities include mortgage-backed obligations of U.S. Government agencies and obligations of U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises. These obligations have contractual maturities ranging from less than one year to approximately 30 years,, with lower anticipated lives to maturity due to prepayments. All mortgage-backed securities contain a certain amount of risk related to the uncertainty of prepayments of the underlying mortgages. Interest rate changes have a direct impact upon prepayment speeds; therefore, First Commonwealth uses computer simulation models to test the average life and yield volatility of all mortgage-backed securities under various interest rate scenarios to monitor the potential impact on earnings and interest rate risk positions.

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or repay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Other fixed income securities within the portfolio also contain prepayment risk.

~~(a)~~(b)Mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage securities, which have prepayment provisions, are not assigned to maturity categories due to fluctuations in their prepayment speeds. Mortgage-Backed Securities include an amortized cost of ~~$98.7~~$79.9 million and a fair value of ~~$98.5~~$65.5 million for Obligations of U.S. Government agencies issued by Ginnie Mae and an amortized cost of ~~$395.3~~$344.4 million and a fair value of ~~$395.1~~$287.4 million for Obligations of U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Securities held to maturity with an amortized cost of ~~$334.5~~$340.9 million and ~~$228.1~~$313.9 million were pledged as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

Other Investments

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), First Commonwealth is required to purchase and hold stock in the FHLB to satisfy membership and borrowing requirements. The level of stock required to be held is dependent on the amount of First Commonwealth's mortgage-related assets and outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. This stock is restricted in that it can

1716

ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

only be sold to the FHLB or to another member institution, and all sales of FHLB stock must be at par. As a result of these restrictions, FHLB stock is unlike other investment securities insofar as there is no trading market for FHLB stock and the transfer price is determined by FHLB membership rules and not by market participants. As of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, our FHLB stock totaled ~~$11.0~~$14.3 million and ~~$10.6~~$11.7 million, respectively, and is included in “Other investments” on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

FHLB stock is held as a long-term investment and its value is determined based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. First Commonwealth evaluates impairment quarterly and has concluded that the par value of its investment in FHLB stock will be recovered. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded on these securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

As of both September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, "Other investments" also includes ~~$1.7~~$1.2 million in equity securities. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value and are carried at cost. During the nine-months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, there were no gains or losses recognized through earnings on equity securities. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates equity securities by reviewing the severity and duration of decline in estimated fair value, research reports, analysts’ recommendations, credit rating changes, news stories, annual reports, regulatory filings, impact of interest rate changes and other relevant information.

Impairment of Investment Securities

We review our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. For available for sale securities, the

review includes analyzing the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which

may influence the operations of the issuer and whether we are more likely than not to sell the security. We evaluate whether we

are more likely than not to sell debt securities based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our

cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy, tax position and interest rate risk position. Held-to-maturity securities are

evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis using historical probability of default and loss given default information specific

to the investment category. If this evaluation determines that credit losses exist an allowance for credit loss is recorded and

included in earnings as a component of credit loss expense.

First Commonwealth utilizes the specific identification method to determine the net gain or loss on debt securities and the average cost method to determine the net gain or loss on equity securities.

The following table presents the gross unrealized losses and estimated fair values at September 30, ~~2021~~2022 for both available for sale and held to maturity securities by investment category and time frame for which securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the PPP requirements. Because PPP loans are fully

~~ITEM 1.~~ ~~Financial Statements and Supplementary Data~~

~~NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

guaranteed by the SBA, there is no allowance for credit losses recognized for these loans. Although the Company believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program, there could be risks and liability to the Company associated with participation in the program.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, providing banking organizations with optional, temporary relief from complying with CECL. The Company elected to defer its adoption of CECL until the fourth quarter 2020. At the end of the deferral period, CECL was adopted effective January 1, 2020. The allowance for credit losses for the interim period ending September 30, 2020, was calculated in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

First Commonwealth’s loan portfolio includes five primary loan categories. When calculating the allowance for credit losses these categories are classified into ~~eleven~~fourteen portfolio segments. The composition of loans by portfolio segment includes:

Commercial, financial, agricultural and other

Time & Demand - Consists primarily of commercial and industrial loans. This category consists of loans that are typically cash flow dependent and therefore have different risk and loss characteristics than other commercial loans. Loans in this category include revolving and term structures with fixed and variable interest rates. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and economic conditions measured by GDP.

Commercial Credit Cards - Consists of unsecured credit cards for commercial customers. These commercial credit cards have separate characteristics outside of normal commercial non-real estate loans, as they tend to have shorter overall duration. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and economic conditions measured by GDP.

ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Equipment Finance - Consists of loans and leases to finance the purchase of equipment for commercial customers. The risk and loss characteristics are unique for this group due to the type of collateral. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and economic conditions measured by GDP. There were no equipment finance loans or leases in the portfolio prior to the first quarter of 2022.

Time & Demand Other - Consists primarily of loans to state and political subdivisions and other commercial loans that have different characteristics than loans in the Time and Demand category. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of household debt to income and economic conditions measured by GDP. Prior to the first quarter of 2022, these loans were included in the Time and Demand category. The breakout into a separate category is the result of an annual review of the peer group loss history and loss drivers used in the allowance for credit losses model.

Real estate construction

~~Includes both 1-4~~Construction Other - Consists of construction loans to commercial builders and developers and are secured by the properties under development.

Construction Residential - Consists of loans to finance the construction of residential properties during the construction period. Borrowers are typically individuals who will occupy the completed single family ~~and commercial construction loans.~~ property.

The risk and loss characteristics of ~~the~~these two construction ~~category~~categories are different than other real estate secured categories due to the collateral being at various stages of completion. The nature of the project and type of borrower of the two construction categories provides for unique risk and loss characteristics for each category. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for ~~this category~~construction loans include forecasts of national unemployment and measures of completed construction projects. Prior to the first quarter of 2022, all construction loans were included in one loan category. The breakout into separate construction categories is the result of an annual review of the peer group loss history and loss drivers used in the allowance for credit losses model.

Residential real estate

Residential first lien - Consists of loans with collateral of 1-4 family residencies with a senior lien position. The risk and loss characteristics are unique for this group because the collateral for these loans are the borrower’s primary residence. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and residential property values.

Residential Junior Lien/Home Equity - Consists of loans with collateral of 1-4 family residencies with an open end line of credit or junior lien position. The junior lien position for the majority of these loans provides a higher risk of loss than other residential real estate loans. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and residential property values.

Commercial real estate

Multifamily - Consists of loans secured by commercial multifamily properties. Real estate related to rentals to consumers ~~could~~ provide unique risk and loss characteristics. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of commercial real estate values and national unemployment. In the first quarter of 2022, as a result of an annual review of peer group loss history and loss drivers, national unemployment replaced rental ~~vacancy.~~vacancy as one of the primary macroeconomic drivers in this category.

Nonowner Occupied - Consists of loans secured by commercial real estate non-owner occupied and provides different loss characteristics than other real estate categories. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and economic conditions measured by GDP.

Owner Occupied - Consists of loans secured by commercial real estate owner occupied properties. The risk and loss characteristics of this category were considered different than other real estate categories because it is owner occupied and would impact the ability to conduct business. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of national unemployment and economic conditions measured by GDP.

Automobileand Recreational Vehicles - Consists of both direct and indirect loans with automobiles and recreational vehicles held as collateral. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of consumer sentiment and automobile retention value.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Consumer Credit Cards – Consists of unsecured consumer credit cards. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of consumer sentiment and economic conditions measured by GDP.

Other Consumer - Consists of lines of credit, student loans and other consumer loans, not secured by real estate or autos. The primary macroeconomic drivers for estimating credit losses for this category include forecasts of consumer sentiment and retail sales. In the ~~level~~first quarter of 2022, as a result of an annual review of peer group loss history and loss drivers, retail sales replaced household ~~debt.~~debt as one of the primary macroeconomic factors for this category.

The allowance for credit losses is calculated by pooling loans of similar credit risk characteristics and applying a discounted cash flow methodology after incorporating probability of default and loss given default estimates. Probability of default represents an estimate of the likelihood of default, and loss given default measures the expected loss upon default. Inputs impacting the expected losses include a forecast of macroeconomic factors, using a weighted forecast from a nationally recognized firm. Our model incorporates a one-year forecast of macroeconomic factors, after which the factors revert back to the historical mean over a one-year period. The most significant macroeconomic factor used in estimating credit losses is the national unemployment rate. The forecasted value for national unemployment at ~~September 30, 2021~~the beginning of the forecast period was ~~5.13%~~3.70% and during the one-year forecast period it was projected to average ~~5.00%~~4.57%, with a peak of ~~5.13%~~4.89%. Current forecast assumptions consider the impact of rising interest rates, global oil prices and supply chain disruption, inflation, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the potential effects of these on the US economy.

Credit Quality Information

As part of the on-going monitoring of credit quality within the loan portfolio, the following credit worthiness categories are used in grading our loans:


Pass						Acceptable levels of risk exist in the relationship. Includes all loans not classified as OAEM, substandard or doubtful.

Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM)						Potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. The potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or weaken the Company’s credit position at some future date. The credit risk may be relatively minor, yet constitute an undesirable risk in light of the circumstances surrounding the specific credit. No loss of principal or interest is expected.

Substandard						Well-defined weakness or a weakness that jeopardizes the repayment of the debt. A loan may be classified as substandard as a result of deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition and repayment capacity. Loans for which repayment plans have not been met or collateral equity margins do not protect the Company may also be classified as substandard.

Doubtful						Loans with the characteristics of substandard loans with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of presently existing facts and conditions, is highly improbable.

The Company’s internal creditworthiness grading system provides a measurement of credit risk based primarily on an evaluation of the borrower’s cash flow and collateral. Category ratings are reviewed each quarter, at which time management analyzes the results, as well as other external statistics and factors related to loan performance.

Portfolio Risks

The credit quality of our loan portfolio can potentially represent significant risk to our earnings, capital and liquidity. First Commonwealth devotes substantial resources to managing this risk primarily through our credit administration department that develops and administers policies and procedures for underwriting, maintaining, monitoring and collecting loans. Credit administration is independent of lending departments and oversight is provided by the Credit Committee of the First Commonwealth Board of Directors.

Total net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $5.1 million and ~~2020 were~~ $9.5 million, ~~and $12.4 million,~~ respectively.

~~Age Analysis of Past Due Loans by Segment~~

Nonaccrual Loans

The previous tables summarize nonaccrual loans by loan segment. The Company generally places loans on nonaccrual status when the full and timely collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain, when part of the principal balance has been charged off and no restructuring has occurred, or the loans reach a certain number of days past due. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status, except for consumer loans, which are placed on nonaccrual status at 150 days past due.

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, the accrued unpaid interest receivable is reversed against interest income and all future payments received are applied as a reduction to the loan principal. Generally, the loan is returned to accrual status when (a) all delinquent interest and principal becomes current under the terms of the loan agreement or (b) the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection and collectability is no longer in doubt.

Nonperforming Loans

Management considers loans to be nonperforming when, based on current information and events, it is determined that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract, including scheduled interest payments. Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and all troubled debt restructured loans. When management identifies a loan as nonperforming, the credit loss is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the sole source for repayment of the loan is the operation or liquidation of collateral. When the loan is collateral dependent, the appraised value less estimated cost to sell is utilized. If management determines that the value of the loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a credit loss is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses.

When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of a nonperforming loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal, under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of a nonperforming loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received under the cash basis method.

At September 30, 2021, there were no nonperforming loans held for sale. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, as the result of a borrower initiated sale, a $6.9 million nonperforming commercial real estate loan with a $0.3 million specific reserve was sold

The troubled debt restructurings included in the above tables are also included in the nonperforming loan tables provided earlier in this note. Loans defined as modified due to a change in rate may include loans that were modified for a change in rate as well as a re-amortization of the principal and an extension of the maturity. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ $86 thousand ~~and $694 thousand, respectively,~~ of total rate modifications represent loans with modifications to the rate as well as payment as a result of re-amortization. For ~~both~~three months ended September 30, 2022, there were no similar modifications. For modifications made in 2021, ~~and 2020~~ the changes in loan balances between the pre-modification balance and the post-modification balance are due to customer payments.

A troubled debt restructuring is considered to be in default when a restructured loan is 90 days or more past due. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no loans restructured within the past twelve months that were considered to be in default.

Note 89 Leases

First Commonwealth has elected to apply certain practical expedients provided under ASU 2016-02 "Leases" (Topic 842) including (i) to not apply the requirements in the new standard to short-term leases (ii) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease (iii) to account for lease and non-lease components separately (iv) to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The impact of this standard primarily relates to operating leases of certain real estate properties, including certain branch and ATM locations and office space. First Commonwealth has no material leasing arrangements for which it is the lessor of property or equipment.

The ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. First Commonwealth's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company's discretion. If we consider the renewal option to be reasonably certain, we include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability.

First Commonwealth uses incremental borrowing rates when calculating the lease liability because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate used by First Commonwealth is an amortizing loan rate obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh. This rate is consistent with a collateralized borrowing rate and is available for terms similar to the lease payment schedules.

Future minimum payments for operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 1011 Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and ~~Disclosures,”~~Disclosures” ("Topic 820"), requires disclosures for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). All non-financial assets are included either as a separate line item on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition or in the “Other assets” category of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Currently, First Commonwealth does not have any non-financial liabilities to disclose.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial ~~Instruments,”~~Instruments” (Topic 825"), permits entities to irrevocably elect to measure select financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses are required to be included in earnings each reporting period for the items that fair value measurement is elected. First Commonwealth has elected not to measure any existing financial instruments at fair value under ~~FASB ASC~~ Topic 825; however, in the future we may elect to adopt this guidance for select financial instruments.

In accordance with ~~FASB ASC~~ Topic 820, First Commonwealth groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels based on the principal markets in which the assets and liabilities are transacted and the observability of the data points used to determine fair value. These levels are:

•Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained for observable inputs for identical or comparable assets or liabilities from alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Level 2 includes Obligations of U.S. Government securities issued by Agencies and Sponsored Enterprises, Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions, corporate securities, FHLB stock, loans held for sale, premise held for sale, interest rate derivatives (including interest rate caps, interest rate collars, interest rate swaps and risk participation agreements), certain other real estate owned and certain nonperforming loans.

Level 2 investment securities are valued by a recognized third party pricing service using observable inputs. The model used by the pricing service varies by asset class and incorporates available market, trade and bid information as well as cash flow information when applicable. Because many fixed-income investment securities do not trade on a daily basis, the model uses available information such as benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like investment securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. The model will also use processes such as an ~~option adjusted~~option-adjusted spread to assess the impact of interest rates and to develop prepayment estimates. Market inputs normally used in the pricing model include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications.

Management validates the market values provided by the third party service by having another source price 100% of the securities on a monthly basis, monthly monitoring of variances from prior period pricing and, on a monthly basis, evaluating pricing changes compared to expectations based on changes in the financial markets.

Other investments recorded in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition are primarily comprised of FHLB stock whose estimated fair value is based on its par value. Additional information on FHLB stock is provided in Note 6,7, “Investment Securities.”

Loans held for sale include residential mortgage loans originated for sale in the secondary mortgage market. The estimated fair value for these loans was determined on the basis of rates obtained in the respective secondary market. Loans held for sale could also include the Small Business Administration guaranteed portion of small business loans. The estimated fair value of

ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

these loans is based on the contract with the third party investor. ~~Also included in~~When loans held for sale ~~are~~include other commercial loans, ~~for which~~ fair value is determined using an executed trade or market bid obtained from potential buyers.

Interest rate derivatives are reported at an estimated fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs and are included in other assets and other liabilities, and consist of interest rate swaps where there is no significant deterioration in the counterparties' and/or loan customers' credit risk since origination of the interest rate swap as well as interest rate caps, interest rate collars and risk participation agreements. First Commonwealth values its interest rate swap and cap positions using a yield curve by taking market prices/rates for an appropriate set of instruments. The set of instruments currently used to determine the U.S. Dollar yield curve includes cash LIBOR rates from overnight to one year, Eurodollar futures contracts and swap rates from one year to

~~ITEM 1.~~ ~~Financial Statements and Supplementary Data~~

~~FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

thirty years. These yield curves determine the valuations of interest rate swaps. Interest rate derivatives are further described in Note ~~11,~~12, “Derivatives.”

For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to our derivative positions, First Commonwealth evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties as well as our own credit risk. Accordingly, we have considered factors such as the likelihood of default, expected loss given default, net exposures and remaining contractual life, among other things, in determining if any estimated fair value adjustments related to credit risk are required. We review our counterparty exposure quarterly, and when necessary, appropriate adjustments are made to reflect the exposure.

Interest rate derivatives also include interest rate forwards entered into to hedge residential mortgage loans held for sale and the related interest-rate lock commitments. This includes forward commitments to sell mortgage loans. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments are based on derivative market data inputs as of the valuation date and the underlying value of mortgage loans for rate lock commitments.

In addition, the Company hedges foreign currency risk through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is based on the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

The estimated fair value for other real estate owned included in Level 2 is determined by either an independent market-based appraisal less estimated costs to sell or an executed sales agreement.

•Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker traded transactions. If the inputs used to provide the valuation are unobservable and/or there is very little, if any, market activity for the security or similar securities, the securities would be considered Level 3 securities. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. The assets included in Level 3 are non-marketable equity investments, certain interest rate derivatives ~~certain other real estate owned~~ and certain nonperforming loans.

The estimated fair value of other investments included in Level 3 is based on carrying value as these securities do not have a readily determinable fair value.

The estimated fair value of limited partnership investments included in Level 3 is based on par value.

For interest rate derivatives included in Level 3, the fair value incorporates credit risk by considering such factors as likelihood of default and expected loss given default based on the credit quality of the underlying counterparties (loan customers).

(b)Unobservable inputs are defined as follows: MMBTU - one million British thermal units; BBL/d - barrels per day.

The discount rate is the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of nonperforming loans. Significant increases in this rate would result in a decrease in the estimated fair value of the loans, while a decrease in this rate would result in a higher fair value measurement. Other unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement of nonperforming loans relate to gas, oil and natural gas prices. Increases in these prices would result in an increase in the estimated fair value of the loans, while a decrease in these prices would result in a lower fair value measurement.

Nonperforming loans over $250 thousand are individually reviewed to determine the amount of each loan considered to be at risk of non-collection. The fair value for nonperforming loans that are collateral-based is determined by reviewing real property appraisals, equipment valuations, accounts receivable listings and other financial information. A discounted cash flow analysis

is performed to determine fair value for nonperforming loans when an observable market price or a current appraisal is not available. For real estate secured loans, First Commonwealth’s loan policy requires updated appraisals be obtained at least every twelve months on all nonperforming loans with balances of $250 thousand and over. For real estate secured loans with balances under $250 thousand, we rely on broker price opinions. For non-real estate secured assets, the Company normally relies on third party valuations specific to the collateral type.

The fair value for other real estate owned, determined by either an independent market-based appraisal less estimated costs to sell or an executed sales agreement, is classified as Level 2. The fair value for other real estate owned, determined using an internal valuation, is classified as Level 3. Other real estate owned has a current carrying value of ~~$0.5~~$0.3 million as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and consists ~~primarily~~ of three residential ~~and commercial~~ real estate properties in Pennsylvania. We review whether events and circumstances subsequent to a transfer to other real estate owned have occurred that indicate the balance of those assets may not be recoverable. If events and circumstances indicate further impairment we will record a charge to the extent that the carrying value of the assets exceed their fair values, less estimated cost to sell, as determined by valuation techniques appropriate in the circumstances.

Certain other assets and liabilities, including goodwill, core deposit intangibles and customer list intangibles are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. Additional information related to goodwill is provided in Note ~~12,~~13, “Goodwill.” There were no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

FASB ASC Topic 825-10, “Transition Related to FSP FAS 107-1” and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are as discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below.

Cash and due from banks and interest-bearing bank deposits: The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks and interest-bearing bank deposits approximate the estimated fair values of such assets.

Securities: Fair values for securities available for sale and held to maturity are based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying value of other investments, which includes FHLB stock and other equity investments, is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans: The fair values of all loans are estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality adjusted for past due and nonperforming loans.

Loans held for sale: The estimated fair value of loans held for sale is based on market bids obtained from potential buyers.

Off-balance sheet instruments: Many of First Commonwealth’s off-balance sheet instruments, primarily loan commitments and standby letters of credit, are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. FASB ASC Topic 460, “Guarantees” clarified that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The carrying amount and estimated fair value for standby letters of credit was $0.1 million at both September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. See Note 5,6, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” for additional information.

Deposit liabilities: The estimated fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date because of the customers’ ability to withdraw funds immediately. The carrying value of variable rate time deposit accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the report date. Also, fair values of fixed rate time deposits for both periods are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered and a schedule of aggregated expected maturities.

Short-term borrowings: The fair values of borrowings from the FHLB were estimated based on the estimated incremental borrowing rate for similar type borrowings. The carrying amounts of other short-term borrowings, such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase, were used to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the borrowings.

Note 1112 Derivatives

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

First Commonwealth is a party to interest rate derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivatives relate to interest rate swaps that First Commonwealth enters into with customers to allow customers to convert variable rate loans to a fixed rate. First Commonwealth pays interest to the customer at a floating rate on the notional amount and receives interest from the customer at a fixed rate for the same notional amount. At the same time the interest rate swap is entered into with the customer, an offsetting interest rate swap is entered into with another financial institution. First Commonwealth pays the other financial institution interest at the same fixed rate on the same notional amount as the swap entered into with the customer, and receives interest from the financial institution for the same floating rate on the same notional amount.

The changes in the fair value of the swaps offset each other, except for the credit risk of the counterparties, which is determined by taking into consideration the risk rating, probability of default and loss given default for all counterparties.

We have 3537 risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which we are a participant. The risk participation agreements provide credit protection to the financial institution should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with the financial institution. We have 16 risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which we are the lead bank. The risk participation agreement provides credit protection to us should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with us.

First Commonwealth is also party to interest rate caps and collars that are not designated as hedging instruments. The interest rate caps relate to contracts that First Commonwealth enters into with loan customers that provide a maximum interest rate on their variable rate loan. At the same time the interest rate cap is entered into with the customer, First Commonwealth enters into an offsetting interest rate cap with another financial institution. The notional amount and maximum interest rate on both interest cap contracts are identical. The interest rate collars relate to contracts that First Commonwealth enters into with loan customers that provides both a maximum and minimum interest rate on their variable rate loan. At the same time the interest rate collar is entered into with the customer, First Commonwealth enters into an offsetting interest rate collar with another financial institution. The notional amount and the maximum and minimum interest rates on both interest collar contracts are identical.

The fee received, less the estimate of the loss for the credit exposure, was recognized in earnings at the time of the transaction.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

In August 2019, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts mature on August 15, 2024 and August 15, 2026 and have notional amounts of $30.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively. The Company's risk management objective for these hedges is to reduce its exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to interest payments made on subordinated debentures benchmarked to the 3-month LIBOR rate. Therefore, the interest rate swaps convert the interest rate benchmark on the first $70.0 million of 3-month LIBOR based subordinated debentures to a fixed rate.

During 2021, the Company entered into ~~four~~eight interest rate swap contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps have a total notional amount of ~~$350.0~~$500.0 million: ~~$25.0~~$75.0 million with an original maturity of three years, ~~$175.0~~$250.0 million with an original maturity of four years and ~~$150.0~~$175.0 million with an original maturity of five years. The Company's risk management objective for these hedges is to reduce its exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to interest payments on commercial loans benchmarked to the 1-month LIBOR rate. Therefore, the interest rate swaps convert the interest payments on the first ~~$350.0~~$500.0 million of 1-month LIBOR based commercial loans into fixed rate payments.

The periodic net settlement of these interest rate swaps are recorded as an adjustment to "Interest on subordinated debentures" or "Interest and fees on loans" in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, there was a negative impact of $1.8 million on net interest income and for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022, there was a ~~positive~~negative impact of ~~$272 thousand and $115 thousand, respectively,~~$1.4 million on net interest income as a result of these interest rate swaps. Changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are reported on the balance sheet and in OCI. When the cash flows associated with the hedged item are realized, the gain or loss included in OCI is recognized in "Interest on subordinated debentures," or "Interest and fees on loans", the same line items in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income as the income on the hedged items. The cash flow hedges were highly effective at September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, and changes in the fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness were not material.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Company also enters into interest rate lock commitments in conjunction with its mortgage origination business. These are commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. The Company locks the rate in with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. Loans under mandatory rate lock commitments are covered under forward sales contracts of mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in "Noninterest income" in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The impact to noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 was a decrease of ~~$0.4~~$0.2 million and ~~$1.3~~$1.6 million, respectively.

Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. We determine the fair value of rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying asset, which is impacted by current interest rates and taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close or will be funded. At September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the underlying funded mortgage loan commitments had a carrying value of ~~$11.1~~$7.7 million and a fair value of ~~$12.5~~$6.0 million, while the underlying unfunded mortgage loan commitments had a notional amount of ~~$38.5~~$22.0 million. At December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the underlying funded mortgage loan commitments had a carrying value of ~~$25.0~~$11.0 million and a fair value of ~~$28.4~~$11.9 million, while the underlying unfunded mortgage loan commitments had a notional amount of ~~$47.9~~$29.7 million. The interest rate lock commitments ~~increased~~decreased other noninterest income by ~~$0.3~~$0.8 million and ~~$0.7~~by $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

In addition, a small amount of interest income on loans is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. Several commercial borrowers have a portion of their operations outside of the United States and borrow funds on a short-term basis to fund those operations. In order to reduce the risk related to the translation of foreign denominated transactions into U.S. dollars, the Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts relate principally to the Euro and the Canadian dollar.

Note 1213 Goodwill

FASB ASC Topic 350-20, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” requires an annual valuation of the fair value of a reporting unit that has goodwill and a comparison of the fair value to the book value of equity to determine whether the goodwill has been impaired. Goodwill is also required to be tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. When circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that fair value is less than carrying value, a triggering event has occurred and a quantitative impairment test would be performed.

~~ITEM 1.~~ ~~Financial Statements and Supplementary Data~~

~~FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

We consider First Commonwealth to be one reporting unit. The carrying amount of goodwill as of both of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 was $303.3 million. No impairment charges on goodwill or other intangible assets were incurred in ~~2021~~2022 or ~~2020.~~2021.

We test goodwill for impairment as of November 30th each year and again at any quarter-end if any material events occur during a quarter that may affect goodwill.

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, no indicators of impairment were identified; however, changing economic conditions that may adversely affect our performance, the fair value of our assets and liabilities, or our stock price could result in impairment, which could adversely affect earnings in future periods. Management will continue to monitor events that could impact this conclusion in the future.

On May 21, 2018, First Commonwealth issued ten-year subordinated notes with an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million and a fixed-to-floating rate of 4.875%. The rate remains fixed until June 1, 2023, then adjusts on a quarterly basis to three-month LIBOR + 1.845%. The Bank may redeem the notes, beginning with the interest payment due on June 1, 2023, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Deferred issuance costs of $0.9 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the notes.

On May 21, 2018, First Commonwealth issued fifteen-year subordinated notes with an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million and a fixed-to-floating rate of 5.50%. The rate remains fixed until June 1, 2028, then adjusts on a quarterly basis to three-month LIBOR + 2.37%. The Bank may redeem the notes, beginning with the interest payment due on June 1, 2028, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Deferred issuance costs of $1.1 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the notes.

First Commonwealth currently has two trusts, First Commonwealth Capital Trust II and First Commonwealth Capital Trust III, of which 100% of the common equity is owned by First Commonwealth. The trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing company obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the capital securities solely in junior subordinated debt securities (“subordinated debentures”) of First Commonwealth. The subordinated debentures held by each trust are the sole assets of the trust.

Interest on the debentures issued to First Commonwealth Capital Trust III is paid quarterly at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR + 2.85% which is reset quarterly. Subject to regulatory approval, First Commonwealth may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, at its option on any interest payment date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption. Deferred issuance costs of $0.6 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the securities.

Interest on the debentures issued to First Commonwealth Capital Trust II is paid quarterly at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR + 2.85%, which is reset quarterly. Subject to regulatory approval, First Commonwealth may redeem the debentures, in

whole or in part, at its option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption. Deferred issuance costs of $0.5 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the securities.

In order to reduce its exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to interest payments on First Commonwealth Capital Trust II and III, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts fix the LIBOR based portion of the interest rate on Capital Trust II at 1.515% until August 15, 2024 and on Capital Trust III at 1.525% until August 15, 2026. Additional information related to these cash flow hedges can be found in Note ~~11-~~12- "Derivatives".

Note 1415 Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with derivatives are not in scope of FASB ASC Topic 606 - ~~Revenue~~"Revenue from Contracts with ~~Customers. ASC~~Customers" ("Topic 606"). Topic 606 is

ITEM 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust income, service charges on deposits, insurance and retail brokerage commissions, card-related interchange income and gain(loss) on sale of OREO. For contracts within the scope of ~~ASC~~Topic 606, the Company immediately expenses contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less.

Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below:

Trust Income

Trust income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon a tiered scale of market value of the assets under management at month-end. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as financial planning or tax return preparation services are also available to trust customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of fees earned from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, overdraft services and account analysis fees. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment fees, statement rendering and ACH fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed which is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Monthly account maintenance fees are earned over the course of the month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, during the month the service is provided. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Insurance and Retail Brokerage Commissions

Insurance income primarily consists of commissions received from execution of personal, business and health insurance policies when acting as an agent on behalf of insurance carriers. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the issuance of the insurance policy. Because the Company’s contracts with the insurance carriers are generally cancellable by either party, with minimal notice, insurance commissions are recognized during the policy period as received. Also, the majority of insurance commissions are received on a monthly basis during the policy period; however, some carriers pay the full annual commission to First Commonwealth at the time of policy issuance or renewal. In these cases, First Commonwealth would be required to refund any commissions it would not be entitled to as a result of cancelled or terminated policies. The Company has established a refund liability for the remaining term of the policies expected to be cancelled. The Company also receives incentive-based contingency fees from the insurance carriers. Contingency fee revenue, which totals approximately $0.3 million per year, is recognized as received due to the immaterial amount.

~~FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

Retail brokerage income primarily consists of commissions received on annuity and investment product sales through a third-party service provider. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the issuance of the annuity policy or the execution of an investment transaction. The Company does not earn a significant amount of trailer fees on annuity sales. However, after considering the factors impacting these trailer fees, such as the uncertainty of investor behavior and changes in the market value of assets, First Commonwealth determined that it would recognize trailing fees as received because it could not reasonably estimate an amount of future trailing commissions for which collection is probable. Commissions from the third-party service provider are received on a monthly basis based upon customer activity for the month. The fees are recognized monthly with a receivable until commissions are received from the third-party service provider the following month. Because the Company acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider and does not control the services rendered to the customers, retail brokerage fees are presented net of related costs, including ~~$2.2~~$2.9 million and ~~$0.8~~$2.6 million in commission expense as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Card-Related Interchange Income

Card-related interchange income is primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees and merchant services income. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as MasterCard. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Card-related interchange income is recognized daily as the customer transactions are settled.

Other Income

Other income includes service revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for these services are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Gains(losses) on sales of OREO

First Commonwealth records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When First Commonwealth finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, an assessment of whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract is completed along with an evaluation of whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, First Commonwealth adjusts the transaction price and the related ~~gain(loss)~~gain or loss on sale if a significant financing component is present.

In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), First Commonwealth management uses, and this quarterly report contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance and our business and performance trends as they facilitate comparison with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Although we believe that these ~~non-~~

~~ITEM 2.~~ ~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)~~

~~FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~GAAP~~non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

We believe the presentation of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. Interest income per the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income is reconciled to net interest income adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis on pages 5758 and 6566 for the nine and three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020, respectively.~~2021.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021

Net Income

For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, First Commonwealth had net income of $92.4 million, or $0.98 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $103.5 million, or $1.08 diluted earnings per share, ~~compared to net income of $47.8 million, or $0.49 diluted earnings per share,~~ in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~increase~~decrease in net income was primarily the result of a ~~$1.4~~$12.0 million provision for credit losses recognized during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$49.0~~a provision of $1.4 million recognized in the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Additionally, net interest income increased $15.9 million, noninterest income ~~increased $12.8~~decreased $6.3 million and noninterest expense ~~decreased $2.8~~increased $12.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020. These positive changes were partially offset by a $15.2 million increase in the income tax provision due to higher income before income taxes.~~2021.

For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company’s return on average equity was ~~12.62%~~11.47% and its return on average assets was ~~1.48%~~1.29%, compared to ~~5.92%~~12.62% and ~~0.71%~~1.48%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was ~~$209.1~~$225.0 million in the first nine months of ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$201.9~~$209.1 million for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The increase in net interest income can be attributed to a 3514 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets, 7 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities ~~offset by a 34 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets~~ and a ~~$479.9~~$168.8 million increase in average interest-earning assets.

~~income before provision expense plus noninterest income), at 72.1% and 74.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.~~

The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.27% and 3.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The decline in the net interest margin is primarily attributable to the lower level of interest rates and the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The taxable equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was 3.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of 34 basis points compared to the 3.79% yield for the same period in 2020. This decrease is largely due to a decline in the investment portfolio yield, which decreased by 46 basis points when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Contributing to this decline was the yield on our adjustable and variable rate commercial loan portfolio, which declined 61 basis points as a result of the Federal Reserve's decrease of short-term interest rates in March 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, the Federal Reserve decreased the Federal Funds target rate by 150 basis points.

The loan yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, decreased 19 basis points and was impacted by $380.6 million in average PPP loans outstanding during the period. These loans were originated under the CARES Act and have a stated loan rate of 1% and a yield of 6.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, PPP loans averaged $327.0 million with a yield of 2.69%. The yield on PPP loans includes the recognition of PPP loan deferred processing fees, net of deferred origination costs, of $16.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These amounts are recognized in interest income as a yield adjustment over the life of the loan with accelerated recognition when a loan is forgiven or paid off. As of September 30, 2021, we expect to recognize additional PPP-related deferred processing fees, net of origination costs, of approximately $6.3 million as an adjustment to yield over the remaining terms of the loans. The balance of PPP loans outstanding at September 30, 2021 totaled $152.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, PPP loans generated $19.1 million in income compared to $6.6 million during the same period in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, PPP loans increased the yield on total loans by 16 basis points and the net interest margin by 16 basis points. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company originated $255.8 million in new PPP loans and processed forgiveness on $578.7 million of PPP loans originated in prior quarters.

The investment portfolio yield decreased 46 basis points in comparison to the prior year as a result of lower short-term interest rates. Investment portfolio purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 have been primarily in obligations of U.S. government agencies, obligations of other government-sponsored enterprises and obligations of states and political subdivisions with durations of approximately four to five years and a corporate bond with a duration of nine years. Additionally, as a result of excess liquidity caused by significant growth in deposits during the past year, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits with banks, primarily represented by deposits placed with the Federal Reserve, has increased from $173.1 million in 2020 to $340.9 million in 2021. The impact of the level and rate paid on interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased the yield on earning assets by 14 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Decreases in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities partially offset the negative impact of lower yields on interest-earning assets. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from 0.64% for the same period in 2020. Deposit growth due to the retention of PPP loan proceeds and the deposit of Federal stimulus checks combined to allow for the payoff of $50.0 million in short-term borrowings in May 2021, contributing to a decline in average short-term borrowings of $28.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Lower market interest rates and management's efforts to reduce deposit costs resulted in the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreasing 35 basis points and short-term borrowings decreasing 52 basis points in comparison to the same period last year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, changes in interest rates negatively impacted net interest income by $3.1 million when compared with the same period in 2020. The lower yield on interest-earning assets negatively impacted net interest income by $14.6 million, while the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $11.5 million.

Changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020. Higher levels of interest-earning assets resulted in an increase of $6.7 million in interest income, and changes in the volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities decreased interest expense by $3.6 million, primarily due to a decrease in time deposits. Average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $479.9 million, or 5.9%, compared to the same period in 2020. Average loans for the comparable period increased $101.4 million, or 1.5%.

Net interest income also benefited from a $580.5 million increase in average net free funds at September 30, 2021 as compared to September 30, 2020. Average net free funds are the excess of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, other noninterest-bearing

before provision expense plus noninterest income), at 75.1% and 72.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 3.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net interest margin is affected by changes in the level of interest rates and the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The taxable equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was 3.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 14 basis points compared to the 3.45% yield for the same period in 2021. Impacting the yield on interest-earning assets is a $354.5 million decline in average PPP loans, which yield higher rates than the remainder of the loan portfolio due to the recognition of PPP loan deferred processing fees, net of deferred origination costs. As the PPP loans paid off, due to forgiveness by the US Government, the funds were used to fund growth in the loan portfolio. Also impacting the yield on interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.2 million in interest and loan fees recognized when a nonaccrual loan was paid off during the second quarter. The interest and fees collected on this loan increased the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 by 2 basis points.

The loan yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased 6 basis points compared to the same period in 2021. This increase in loan yield was a result of growth in the loan portfolio as well as increases in interest rates. The loan yield was negatively impacted by a decline in average PPP loans outstanding. These loans, which were originated under the CARES Act, had an average balance of $26.1 million with a stated loan rate of 1% and a yield of 13.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, PPP loans averaged $380.6 million with a yield of 6.72%. The yield on PPP loans includes the recognition of PPP loan deferred processing fees, net of deferred origination costs, of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These amounts are recognized in interest income as a yield adjustment over the life of the loan with accelerated recognition when a loan is forgiven or paid off. As of September 30, 2022, we expect to recognize additional PPP-related deferred processing fees, net of origination costs, of approximately $0.1 million as an adjustment to yield over the remaining terms of the loans. The balance of PPP loans outstanding at September 30, 2022 totaled $4.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, PPP loans generated $2.6 million in income compared to $19.1 million during the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, PPP loans increased the yield on total loans and the net interest margin by 4 basis points and 3 basis points, respectively. PPP loans increased both the yield on total loans and the net interest margin by 16 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The investment portfolio yield increased 8 basis points in comparison to the prior year as new volume rates were higher than the portfolio yield. The average investment portfolio balance decreased $23.8 million as maturities and runoff funded loan growth. Interest-bearing deposits with banks, which decreased from $340.9 million in 2021 to $240.5 million in 2022 increased the yield on earning assets by 8 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from 0.29% for the same period in 2021. This decline is a result of changes in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities as higher costing interest-bearing liabilities, such as time deposits and long-term debt declined on average $112.7 million and $25.4 million, respectively. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 6 basis points and short-term borrowings increased 2 basis points in comparison to the same period last year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, changes in rates positively impacted net interest income by $6.3 million when compared with the same period in 2021. The higher yield on interest-earning assets, despite lower income on PPP loans, positively impacted net interest income by $5.0 million, while the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $1.3 million.

Changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Higher levels of interest-earning assets resulted in an increase of $8.3 million in interest income, and changes in the volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities decreased interest expense by $1.2 million, primarily due to decreases in the cost of long-term debt and time deposits. Average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $168.8 million, or 2.0%, compared to the same period in 2021. Average loans for the comparable period increased $293.0 million, or 4.3%.

Net interest income also benefited from a $108.3 million increase in average net free funds at September 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021. Average net free funds are the excess of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, other noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity over noninterest-earning assets. The largest component of the increase in net free funds was an increase of ~~$525.7~~$145.4 million, or ~~25.9%~~5.7%, in noninterest-bearing demand deposit average ~~balances, primarily due to deposit growth related to PPP loan proceeds and government stimulus payments.~~balances.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is determined based on management’s estimates of the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses needed for expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio and on off-balance sheet commitments. The provision for credit losses is an amount added to the allowance, against which credit losses are charged.

The provision for credit losses on loans and leases for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021 decreased~~2022 increased in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 by ~~$46.7~~$6.3 million. ~~The level of~~

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the increase in provision expense on loans and leases was primarily due to changes in the economic forecast used to estimate the allowance for credit losses as well as loan growth. Additionally, the provision for residential first lien and the negative provision for automobile and recreational vehicles were largely the result of an annual review of loss history data used in the allowance for credit loss model. Contributing to the negative provision for commercial real estate is the release of the remaining COVID-19 qualitative reserves which were established at the beginning of the pandemic. These reserves have been released as the risk of the COVID-19 pandemic on the loan portfolio declined. Provision expense was also impacted by an increase of $0.6 million in reserves on individually analyzed loans.

Total provision expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is a result of the loan portfolio changes noted above as well as growth in off-balance sheet commitments and the impact on the off balance sheet reserve related to construction commitments because of the annual review of peer loss history data.

The provision expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 iswas primarily the result of an improved economic forecast which ~~reflects~~reflected a decline in the projected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and expected loan losses. ~~The provision~~Provision expense for ~~credit losses on loans was~~the time and demand and automobile and recreational vehicle portfolios were also impacted by ~~a decrease of $6.4 million~~increases in ~~reserves on individually analyzed loans. The total provision for credit losses was impacted by a $1.0 million decrease in expense related to a decline in reserves for off-balance sheet commitments.~~

Because PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA, there is no allowance for credit losses recognized for these loans. As previously indicated, an improved economic forecast provided for a lower level of allowance for credit losses and therefore resulted in $2.4 million in provision expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Two loan categories, commercial, financial, agricultural and other loans as well as loans to individuals, reflected provision expense during the nine-month period of 2021. The provision expense for Commercial, financial, agricultural and other loans was primarily due to loan growth, net charge-offs and an increase in qualitative reserves. Provision expense for Loans to individuals can be attributed to loan growth in that category as well as net charge-offs.

The level of provision expense in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily to build the allowance for loan loss in order to provide for credit losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Contributing to the higher provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $5.7 million in specific reserves for four commercial real estate borrowers that were placed on nonaccrual status during the first nine months of 2020. Additionally, $27.9 million of the provision expense was attributable to higher qualitative reserves due ~~the uncertain economic environment resulting from COVID-19. Net charge-offs during the first nine months of 2020 totaled $12.4 million.~~to changes in risk ratings and portfolio growth, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses was ~~$94.2~~$96.1 million, or ~~1.40%~~1.31%, of total loans outstanding at September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$101.3~~$92.5 million, or ~~1.50%~~1.35%, at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~$88.3~~$94.2 million, or ~~1.27%~~1.40%, at September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans and leases decreased to ~~0.56%~~0.48% at September 30, ~~2021~~2022 from ~~0.80%~~0.81% at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~0.71%~~0.56% as ~~of September 30, 2020.

~~Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is at a level deemed appropriate to absorb expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2021.~~

There were no similar expenses in 2021.

Contributing to the increase in other operating expenses were several expense ~~resulting from~~categories, including credit reporting, travel, interview and placement and subscriptions, none of which were individually significant.

In October 2022, the FDIC adopted a ~~$1.2 million credit in unfunded commitment expense recognized in 2020,~~final rule to increase the deposit insurance assessment rate by 2 basis points beginning with ~~no similar credit in 2021. As a result~~the first quarterly assessment period of 2023. This increase is estimated to increase the ~~adoption of CECL, the unfunded commitment expense is now recorded as part of provision for credit losses.~~Company's annual FDIC assessment by approximately $1.7 million.

Income Tax

The provision for income taxes ~~increased $15.2~~decreased $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to the corresponding period in ~~2020.~~2021, due to the decrease in income before income taxes.

We applied the “annual effective tax rate approach” to determine the provision for income taxes, which applies an annual forecast of tax expense as a percentage of expected full year income, for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

We generate an annual effective tax rate that is less than the statutory rate of 21% due to benefits resulting from tax-exempt interest, income from bank-owned life insurance and tax benefits associated with low income housing tax credits, all of which are relatively consistent regardless of the level of pretax income. These provided for an annual effective tax rate of ~~19.9%~~19.8% and ~~18.1%~~19.9% for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our deferred tax assets totaled ~~$24.6~~$62.7 million. Based on our evaluation, we determined that it is more likely than not that all of these assets will be realized. As a result, a valuation allowance against these assets was not recorded. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, we estimate future taxable income based on management approved forecasts, evaluation of historical earning levels and consideration of potential tax strategies. If future events differ from our current forecasts, we may need to establish a valuation allowance, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Three Months Ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021

Net Income

For the three months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, First Commonwealth recognized net income of ~~$34.1~~$34.0 million, or $0.36 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of ~~$19.2~~$34.1 million, or ~~$0.20~~$0.36 diluted earnings per share, in the three months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~increase~~decrease in net income was primarily the result of ~~an $11.8~~a $5.6 million ~~decrease~~increase in the provision for credit losses, ~~on loans,~~$4.9 million increase in noninterest expense and a ~~$4.3~~$1.3 million decrease in noninterest income all of which was partially offset by a $11.7 million increase in net interest ~~income, and a $3.2 million decrease in noninterest expense.~~income.

For the three months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company’s return on average equity was ~~12.14%~~12.67% and its return on average assets was ~~1.42%~~1.41%, compared to ~~7.01%~~12.14% and ~~0.81%~~1.42%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was ~~$70.9~~$82.6 million in the third quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$66.7~~$70.9 million for the same period in 2020. This increase was the result of $0.2 billion of growth in average interest-earning assets combined with a $0.3 billion decrease in interest-bearing liabilities. The impact of these changes resulted in a 12 basis point increase in the net interest margin.2021. Net interest income comprises the majority of our operating revenue (i.e., net interest income before provision expense plus noninterest income), at ~~72.2%~~76.1% and ~~71.3%~~72.2% for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was ~~3.23%~~3.76% and ~~3.11%~~3.23% for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The increase in the net interest margin is attributable to both changes in the level of interest rates and the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The taxable equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was ~~3.39%~~3.92% for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021, a decrease~~2022, an increase of 653 basis points compared to the ~~3.45%~~3.39% yield for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. This is largely due to a ~~decrease in the investment portfolio yield, which declined by 32 basis points offset by a 9~~35 basis point increase in the loan portfolio yield when compared to the three months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021 as a result of a higher interest rate environment in 2022. Also impacting the yield on loans was PPP loans originated under the CARES Act, which have a stated rate of 1% and a yield of ~~10.05%~~14.61% during the three months ended September ~~30,2021.~~30, 2022. The yield on PPP loans includes the recognition of PPP loan deferred processing fees, net of deferred origination costs, of ~~$5.1~~$0.2 million. These loans increased the average balance of loans by ~~$225.3~~$7.2 million and generated ~~$5.7~~$0.3 million in income for the third quarter of 2022, resulting in a 1 basis point increase in the yield on loans and no impact on the net interest margin. During the third quarter of 2021, ~~causing~~PPP loans generated $5.7 million in income and increased the average balance of loans by $225.3 million resulting in a 21 basis point increase in the yield on loans and an 18 basis point increase in the net interest margin.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to ~~0.25%~~0.24% for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, from ~~0.49%~~0.25% for the same period in ~~2020,~~2021, primarily due to a decrease in the cost of time deposits and savings deposits. Strategies to manage deposit costs lowered the average rate on savings deposits ~~and time deposits. Lower market interest rates resulted in the cost of savings deposits decreasing 18~~by 2 basis points and the maturity of higher costing time deposits ~~decreasing 92~~provided a decrease of 12 basis points in comparison to the same period last year.

For the three months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, changes in interest rates positively impacted net interest income by ~~$2.9~~$7.9 million when compared with the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The higher yield on loans contributed to interest-earning assets positively impacting net interest income by ~~$0.6~~$7.8 million, while a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by ~~$2.3~~$0.1 million.

Changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by ~~$1.3~~$3.8 million during the three months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, as compared to the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The mix of interest-earning assets resulted in ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$0.1~~$3.7 million in interest income while changes in the volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities decreased interest expense by ~~$1.4~~$0.1 million. Average interest-earning assets for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 increased ~~$172.5~~$7.0 million, or ~~2.0%~~0.1%, compared to the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Average loans for the comparable period ~~decreased $211.7~~increased $498.1 million, or ~~3.0%, due to a $347.2 million decline in average PPP loans.~~7.4%.

Net interest income also benefited from a ~~$428.2~~$52.0 million increase in average net free funds at September 30, ~~2021~~2022 as compared to September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Average net free funds are the excess of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, other noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity over noninterest-earning assets. The largest component of the increase in net free funds was an increase of ~~$365.9~~$99.2 million, or ~~16.0%~~3.7%, in noninterest-bearing demand deposit average balances. Average time deposits for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 decreased by ~~$279.0~~$80.9 million compared to the comparable period in ~~2020,~~2021, decreasing interest expense by ~~$1.0~~$0.1 million.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is determined based on management’s estimates of the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses needed for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, after giving consideration to charge-offs and recoveries for the period. The provision for credit losses is an amount added to the allowance, against which credit losses are charged.

The provision for credit losses on loans and leases for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021 decreased~~2022 increased in comparison to the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 by ~~$11.8~~$5.5 million. The level of provision expense in the third quarter of 2022 is primarily the result of an increase in loan balances as well as changes in the economic forecast used in calculation of the allowance for credit losses. These increases were partially offset by declines in qualitative reserves which were provided for several loan categories impacted by COVID-19 . The provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure increased $0.1 million primarily due to the level of unfunded commitments. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $2.5 million.

The level of provision expense in the third quarter of 2021 iswas primarily the result of an improved economic forecast, which ~~reflects a decline~~reflected declines in the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and expected loan losses. The third quarter 2021 provision expense was also impacted by the release of a $1.1 million specific reserve on a nonaccrual loan that paid off during the third quarter. ~~The improvement in the provision for credit losses on loans was offset by a $0.9 million provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure due to an increase in the level of unfunded commitments.~~ Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $2.3 million.

The level of provision expense in the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to a $5.6 million increase in qualitative reserves as a result of the uncertain economic environment related to COVID-19 and a $1.1 million increase in specific reserves related to four commercial loan relationships. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $4.3 million.

Noninterest expense ~~decreased $3.2~~increased $4.9 million, or 6%9%, for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~decrease~~increase is a result of ~~$3.3~~a $1.4 million in voluntary early retirement expense and $2.5 million in branch consolidation expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020. There were no similar expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Offsetting these declines is an increase in salary and employee benefit expense, ~~of $2.2 million,~~ primarily due to annual merit increases, ~~in hospitalization and~~higher incentive expense and number of employees. Also contributing to higher noninterest expense is a $1.6 million increase in other operating expenses due to several expense categories, including credit reporting and meals and travel, none of which were individually significant. Net occupancy expense increased $0.7 million as ~~well as~~a result of higher repairs and maintenance costs and data processing increased $0.5 million due to investments in additional ~~employees hired to support the Company's expansion into equipment financing.~~digital and product solutions.

Income Tax

The provision for income taxes increased ~~$3.9~~$0.04 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to the corresponding period in ~~2020.~~ 2021. The effective tax rate increased 8020 basis points from ~~19.0%~~19.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to ~~19.8% due to a $18.9 million increase in income before income taxes.~~20.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

We applied the “annual effective tax rate approach” to determine the provision for income taxes, which applies an annual forecast of tax expense as a percentage of expected full year income, for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers as well as our operating cash needs with cost-effective funding. We generate funds to meet these needs primarily through the core deposit base of First Commonwealth Bank and the maturity or repayment of loans and other interest-earning assets, including investments. During the first nine months of ~~2021,~~2022, the maturity and redemption of investment securities provided ~~$443.5~~$183.9 million in liquidity. These funds contributed to the liquidity used to originate loans, purchase investment securities and fund depositor withdrawals.

We also have available unused wholesale sources of liquidity, including overnight federal funds and repurchase agreements, advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, borrowings through the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (“FRB”) and access to certificates of deposit through brokers.

~~ITEM 2.~~ ~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)~~

~~FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

We participate in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services (“CDARS”) program as part of an Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) strategy to increase and diversify funding sources. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our maximum borrowing capacity under this program was $1.4 billion, and as of that date there was ~~$7.5~~$5.4 million outstanding with an average weighted rate of ~~0.50%~~0.56% and an average original term of ~~304~~364 days. These deposits are part of a reciprocal program ~~which~~that allows our depositors to receive expanded FDIC coverage by placing multiple certificates of deposit at other CDARS member banks.

FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

An additional source of liquidity is the FRB Borrower-in-Custody of Collateral program, which enables us to ~~pledge~~take certain loans that are not being used as collateral at the FHLB and pledge them as collateral for borrowings at the FRB. At September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the borrowing capacity under this program totaled ~~$950.8 million~~$1.0 billion and there was no balance outstanding. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Pittsburgh was ~~$1.8~~$1.9 billion and as of that date amounts used against this capacity included ~~$5.7~~$5.0 million in outstanding borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit.

We also have available unused federal funds lines with four correspondent banks. These lines have an aggregate commitment of $160.0 million with no outstanding balance as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. In addition, we have available unused repo lines with ~~three~~two correspondent banks. These lines have an aggregate commitment of ~~$621.4~~$400.0 million with no outstanding balance as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

First Commonwealth Financial Corporation has an unsecured $20.0 million line of credit with another financial institution. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, there are no amounts outstanding on this line.

First Commonwealth’s long-term liquidity source is its core deposit base. Core deposits are the most stable source of liquidity a bank can have due to the long-term relationship with a deposit customer. The following table shows a breakdown of the components of First Commonwealth’s deposits:


		September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020			September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
		(dollars in thousands)					(dollars in thousands)
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits(a)	Noninterest-bearing demand deposits(a)	$	2,656,229	$	2,319,958	Noninterest-bearing demand deposits(a)	$	2,782,654	$	2,658,782
Interest-bearing demand deposits(a)	Interest-bearing demand deposits(a)	265,782		250,353		Interest-bearing demand deposits(a)	354,310		291,476
Savings deposits(a)	Savings deposits(a)	4,609,393		4,305,391		Savings deposits(a)	4,608,762		4,647,197

Total	Total	$	7,936,485	$	7,438,666	Total	$	8,077,649	$	7,982,498

(a)Balances include reallocations from noninterest-bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits into savings deposits, which were made for regulatory purposes.

The level of deposits during any period is influenced by factors outside of management’s control, such as the level of short-term and long-term market interest rates and yields offered on competing investments, such as money market mutual funds.

During the first nine months of ~~2021,~~2022, total deposits increased ~~$497.8~~$95.2 million. Interest-bearing demand and savings deposits increased ~~$319.4~~$24.4 million, noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased ~~$336.3~~$123.9 million and time deposits decreased ~~$157.9~~$53.1 million. ~~The deposit increase is a result of elevated customer deposit balances from PPP loan proceeds and the deposit of Federal stimulus checks into our customers' deposit accounts.~~

Market Risk

The following gap analysis compares the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing over a period of time. The ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities repricing within a one-year period was ~~0.49~~0.77 and ~~0.51~~0.84 at September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. A ratio of less than one indicates a higher level of repricing liabilities over repricing assets over the next twelve months. The level of First Commonwealth's ratio is largely driven by the modeling of interest-bearing non-maturity deposits, which are included in the analysis as repricing within one year.

Gap analysis has limitations due to the static nature of the model that holds volumes and consumer behaviors constant in all economic and interest rate scenarios. A lower level of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities repricing in one year could indicate reduced net interest income in a rising interest rate scenario, and conversely, increased net interest income in a declining interest rate scenario. However, the gap analysis incorporates only the level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and not the sensitivity each has to changes in interest rates. The impact of the sensitivity to changes in interest rates is provided in the table below the gap analysis.

The analysis and model used to quantify the sensitivity of our net interest income becomes less meaningful in a decreasing 200 basis point scenario given the current interest rate environment. Results of the 100 and 200 basis point interest rate decline scenario are affected by the fact that many of our interest-bearing liabilities are at rates below 1%, with an assumed floor of zero in the model. In the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities averaged ~~0.29%~~0.22% and ~~0.64%~~0.29%, respectively, and the yield on our average interest-earning assets, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, averaged ~~3.45%~~3.59% and ~~3.79%~~3.45%, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2021, after considering the excess liquidity position of First Commonwealth and the banking industry, management revised its interest rate assumptions related to its ability to lag deposit rate increases for the first two 25 basis point interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve. The results of this assumption change, which extended the repricing of core deposits, are reflected in the September 30, 2021 results in the above sensitivity tables for gradual and immediate interest rate changes.

Asset/liability models require that certain assumptions be made, such as prepayment rates on earning assets and the impact of pricing on non-maturity deposits, which may differ from actual experience. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans and published industry experience. While management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that modeled results will approximate actual results.

Credit Risk

First Commonwealth maintains an allowance for credit losses at a level deemed sufficient for losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio at the date of each statement of financial condition. Management reviews the appropriateness of the allowance on a quarterly basis to ensure that the provision for credit losses has been charged against earnings in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level that is appropriate based on management’s assessment of probable estimated losses.

First Commonwealth’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses consists of several key elements. These elements include an assessment of individual nonperforming loans with a balance greater than $250 thousand, loss experience trends and other relevant factors.

First Commonwealth also maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit based upon credit risk and probability of funding. The reserve totaled ~~$6.4~~$9.7 million at September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and is classified in "Other liabilities" on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and loans classified as troubled debt restructurings. Nonaccrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued. Troubled debt restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of the deteriorating financial position of the borrower, who could not obtain comparable terms from alternative financing sources. In the first nine months of ~~2021, 28~~2022, two loans totaling ~~$8.1~~$0.1 million were identified as troubled debt restructurings.

The balance of troubled debt restructured loans ~~increased $0.4~~decreased $5.1 million from December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Changes during the first nine months of ~~2021~~2022 can be attributed to ~~new restructurings in conjunction with bankruptcy.~~the pay off and paydown of troubled debt loans, $3.1 million of which relates to the paydown of one commercial real estate relationship. Please refer to Note 78 “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses,” for additional information on troubled debt restructurings.

In March 2020, the Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency. These modifications typically provide for the deferral of both principal and interest for 90 days. The CARES Act, along with a joint agency statement issued by banking regulators, provides that modifications meeting certain criteria made in response to COVID-19 do not need to be accounted for as troubled debt restructuring. As of September 30, 2021, loan

customers with an aggregate principal balance of $29.9 million were still in a payment deferral period. It is possible that some of these deferrals will be extended in order to provide support for certain COVID-19 impacted customers.

We discontinue interest accruals on a loan when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to fully collect principal or interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. A loan is also placed on nonaccrual status when, based on regulatory definitions, the loan is maintained on a “cash basis” due to the weakened financial condition of the borrower. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status, except for consumer loans, which are placed on nonaccrual status at 150 days past due.

Nonperforming loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of our loan review and work-out process. The probable risk of loss on these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the fair value of any underlying collateral or the

present value of projected future cash flows. Losses or a specifically assigned allowance for loan losses are recognized where appropriate.

Nonperforming loans, including loans held for sale, decreased ~~$16.0~~$19.5 million to ~~$38.1~~$35.7 million at September 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$54.1~~$55.2 million at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021, $16.5~~2022, a $14.5 million commercial real estate loan was removed from nonaccrual status and paid off in full. In addition, the aforementioned paydown on troubled debt restructured loans also decreased the balance of nonaccrual loans by $3.1 million as did a partial charge-off of one commercial relationship of $0.8 million and the pay-off of one commercial real estate relationship of $0.7 million. During the same period $4.2 million of loans were moved to nonaccrual, including the transfer of one commercial real estate relationship totaling $6.3 million and a commercial, financial, industrial loan relationship totaling $7.6 million. Offsetting these additions was a sale of a $5.0 million commercial real estate relationship, the $7.3 million payoff of two commercial, financial, agriculture and other relationships, a $0.8 million payoff of a commercial real estate relationship and a $1.4 million charge-off of a commercial real estate relationship.nonaccrual.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was ~~247.30%~~269.23% as of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~187.43%~~167.67% at December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, and ~~177.58%~~247.30% at September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The amount of ~~specific~~individually assessed reserves included in the allowance for nonperforming loans was determined by using fair values obtained from current appraisals and updated discounted cash flow analyses. The allowance for credit losses includes specific reserves of ~~$1.0~~$1.5 million and general reserves of ~~$93.2~~$94.6 million as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Specific reserves ~~decreased $3.9~~increased $1.1 million from December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, and ~~$6.4~~$0.6 million from September 30, ~~2020.

Criticized loans totaled ~~$195.8~~$139.3 million at September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and represented 3%2% of the loan portfolio. The level of criticized loans decreased as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 when compared to December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, by ~~$107.0~~$58.9 million, or ~~35%~~30%. Classified loans totaled ~~$58.8~~$45.7 million at September 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$76.2~~$77.6 million at December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, a decrease of ~~$17.4~~$31.9 million, or ~~23%~~41%. The decrease in criticized loans is the result of the aforementioned changes in nonperforming loans as well as credit upgrades on borrowers, primarily in the hospitality sector. ~~Delinquency on accruing loans for the same period decreased $3.9 million, or 32%, the majority of which are residential real estate and consumer loans.~~

The allowance for credit losses was ~~$94.2~~$96.1 million at September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, or ~~1.40%~~1.31% of total loans outstanding, compared to ~~1.50%~~1.35% reported at December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, and ~~1.27%~~1.40% at September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. General reserves, or the portion of the allowance related to loans that were not specifically evaluated, as a percentage of performing loans were 1.29% at September 30, 2022 compared to 1.36% at December 31, 2021 and 1.39% at September 30, ~~2021 compared to 1.43% at December 31, 2020 and 1.17% at September 30, 2020.~~2021.

Capital Resources

At September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, shareholders’ equity was ~~$1.1~~$1.0 billion, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$44.2~~$86.8 million from December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~increase~~decrease was ~~primarily~~ the result of ~~$103.5~~a $133.5 million ~~in net income, $3.1 million in treasury stock sales and an increase of $13.7 million~~decline in the fair value of available for sale ~~investments. These increases were partially offset by $32.7~~investments and interest rate swaps, which are reflected in the Other Comprehensive Income component of capital. Other items impacting capital include $92.4 million in net income, $3.2 million in treasury stock sales, $33.4 million of dividends paid to shareholders and ~~$16.0~~$15.6 million of common stock repurchases. Cash dividends declared per common share were ~~$0.34~~$0.355 for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$0.33~~$0.340 for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

First Commonwealth and First Commonwealth Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on First Commonwealth’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, First Commonwealth and First Commonwealth Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of First Commonwealth’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. First Commonwealth’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company became subject to the new regulatory risk-based capital rules adopted by the federal banking agencies implementing Basel III. The most significant changes included higher minimum capital requirements, as the minimum Tier I capital ratio increased from 4.0% to 6.0% and a new common equity Tier I capital ratio was established with a minimum level of 4.5%. Additionally, the rules improved the quality of capital by providing stricter eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments and provide for a phase-in, beginning January 1, 2016, of a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. This buffer, which was fully phased-in as of January 1, 2019, provides a requirement to hold common equity Tier 1 capital above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, resulting in an effective common equity Tier I risk-weighted asset minimum ratio of 7.0% on a fully phased-in basis.

The Basel III Rules also permit banking organizations with less than $15.0 billion in assets to retain, through a one-time election, the existing treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income, which currently does not affect regulatory capital. The Company elected to retain this treatment, which reduces the volatility of regulatory capital levels.

During the second quarter of 2018, First Commonwealth Bank, the Company's banking subsidiary, issued $100 million in subordinated debt, which under the regulatory rules qualifies as Tier II capital. This subordinated debt issuance increased the total risk-based capital ratio by 160 basis points.

Because these loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, banking regulators confirmed that they have a zero percent risk weight under applicable risk-based capital rules. Additionally, a bank may exclude all PPP loans pledged as collateral to the Federal Reserve's PPP Facility from average total assets when calculating its leverage ratio, while PPP loans that are not pledged as collateral to the PPP Facility will be included. The PPP loans originated by the Company are included in our leverage ratio as of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, as we did not utilize the PPP Facility.

In March 2020, regulators issued interim financial rule (“IFR”) “Regulatory Capital Rule: Revised Transition of the Current Expected Losses Methodology for Allowances” in response to the disrupted economic activity from the pandemic. The IFR provides financial institutions that adopt CECL during 2020 with the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided by the initial two-year delay (“five-year transition”). The Company adopted CECL effective January 1, 2020 and elected to implement the five-year transition. Regulatory capital levels without the capital benefit at September 30, 2022 for both First Commonwealth and First Commonwealth Bank would have continued to be greater than the amounts needed to be considered “well capitalized”, as the transition provided a capital benefit of approximately 7 to 15 basis points.

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, First Commonwealth and First Commonwealth Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and were considered well-capitalized under the regulatory ~~rules, all on a fully phased-in basis.~~rules. To be considered well capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum Total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based capital, Tier I leverage ratio and Common equity tier I risk-based capital as set forth in the table below:

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, FASB released Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional guidance to ease the accounting burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects from, reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new standard is a result of the ~~potential~~ discontinuance of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as an available benchmark rate. The standard is elective and provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, or other transactions that reference LIBOR, or another reference rate

expected to be discontinued. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient allowing for a contract modification, due to reference rate reform, to be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract and does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. The amendments in the update are effective for all entities between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The Company has established a cross-functional working group to manage the Company’s transition from LIBOR. Products that utilize LIBOR have been identified and have incorporated enhanced language to accommodate the transition to alternative reference ~~rates.~~rates and the use of LIBOR has been discontinued as an index for new loans. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the LIBOR transition and adopting the new standard.

In October 2021, FASB released ASU 2021-08 – “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”). ASU 2021-08 requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2021-08 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The standard should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, FASB released ASU 2022-02 – “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-22 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) while expanding modification and vintage disclosure requirements. Under the previous guidance a TDR occurs when a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty is restructured with a concession provided that a creditor would not otherwise consider. ASU 2022-02 removes the TDR accounting model, instead requiring modifications to apply existing refinancing and restructuring guidance to determine if the modification results in a new loan or is a continuation of the existing one. The update also requires additional disclosures on the nature, magnitude and subsequent performance of certain types of modifications with borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2022-02 further includes a requirement to disclose gross charge-offs incurred by year of origination of the related loan or lease. ASU 2022-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2022-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but will result in additional disclosure requirements.
