First Commonwealth Announces Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results;

Declares Quarterly Dividend

Indiana, PA, October 28, 2015 - First Commonwealth Financial Corporation (NYSE: FCF) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2015.

Third Quarter 2015 Highlights

Franchise Growth

• Solid loan growth of $80.1 million from the prior quarter, or 7.1% on an annualized basis; and

• Finalized acquisition of Columbus, Ohio based First Community Bank on October 1^st.

Net Income

• Third quarter net income was $12.4 million, or $0.14 diluted earnings per share. Net income was impacted by the following items:

◦ Net interest income increased by $0.4 million as compared to the prior quarter, primarily as a result of strong commercial loan growth;

◦ Noninterest income benefited from increases in trust income, deposit service charges and mortgage banking revenue. Total noninterest income, excluding net securities gains, decreased $0.8 million from the previous quarter, driven by a $1.4 million decline in the fair market value of commercial loan interest rate swaps;

◦ Noninterest expense decreased $0.4 million from the previous quarter, primarily attributable to a $1.1 million write-down on other real estate owned (OREO) in the second quarter. Third quarter noninterest expense was affected by $0.7 million in additional shares tax expense for a disputed assessment that was settled during the quarter;

◦ Provision for credit losses totaled $4.6 million, an increase of $1.6 million from the linked quarter and $2.5 million from the year ago quarter, due primarily to $2.5 million in specific reserves for two commercial credits;

◦ Asset quality continued to improve, with nonperforming loans decreasing $4.3 million, or 9.5%, compared to the prior quarter.

“I’m pleased with the groundwork we have laid in the last twelve months to grow top line revenue, despite headwinds from an extended low interest rate environment,” stated T. Michael Price, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We extended our footprint westward and we now have plans in place to expand our commercial lending and mortgage origination capabilities in central and northeastern Ohio.”

Financial Results Summary

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, net income was $12.4 million, or $0.14 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.15 diluted earnings per share, in the second quarter of 2015 and net income of $12.5 million, or $0.13 diluted earnings per share, in the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in net income compared to the second quarter of 2015 was primarily a result of an increase in the provision for credit losses of $1.6 million and a decrease in noninterest income of $0.8 million, offset by a $0.4 million increase in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense of $0.4 million. The decrease in net income compared to the third quarter of 2014 was primarily driven by a decrease in noninterest expense of $1.3 million and an increase in noninterest income of $0.5 million, offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses of $2.5 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net income was $40.1 million, or $0.45 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $36.7 million, or $0.39 diluted earnings per share, for the comparable period in 2014. The increase in net income compared to 2014 was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $2.7 million and a decrease in noninterest expense of $3.1 million, offset by a $1.0 million decrease in noninterest income, excluding net securities gains.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, return on average assets and return on average common equity were 0.84% and 7.48%, respectively, as compared to 0.78% and 6.83% in the same period of 2014. Return on average tangible common equity was 9.68% in the first nine months of 2015, as compared to 8.79% for the same period of 2014.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Third quarter 2015 net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, increased by $0.4 million to $47.6 million, as compared to $47.2 million in the second quarter of 2015. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily the result of $51.9 million of growth in average loan balances. The net interest margin, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, decreased one basis point from the previous quarter primarily due to a one basis point increase in funding costs.

As compared to the third quarter of 2014, net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, increased by $0.2 million. The increase in net interest income was due to a $162.8 million, or 3.8%, increase in average loans and a five basis point decline in funding costs, offset by a five basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, increased $2.7 million to $142.8 million as compared to the same period of 2014. The increase in net interest income was a result of a $177.8 million, or 4.1%, increase in average loans, an eight basis point decline in funding costs and a special FHLB dividend of $1.0 million, offset by a seven basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets.

End of period loan balances increased $80.1 million from the prior quarter and $167.9 million from the year-ago quarter ending September 30, 2014. Based on average balances, loan growth for the third quarter of 2015 was $51.9 million over the prior quarter and $162.8 million over the year-ago quarter. Average deposits decreased $38.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 from the prior quarter and $187.1 million from the year-ago quarter, due in part to the intentional runoff of higher-cost brokered time deposits in favor of more cost-effective short-term borrowings. Average brokered time deposits decreased by $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter and $123.6 million from the year-ago quarter. As a result, average short-term borrowings increased $28.3 million from the prior quarter and $292.6 million over the year-ago period. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $19.5 million as compared to the prior quarter and $69.5 million from the year-ago quarter. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits currently comprise 25.9% of total deposits. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits decreased $22.2 million from the prior quarter and $38.4 million from the year-ago period.

Credit Quality

The provision for credit losses totaled $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.6 million as compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $2.5 million from the same quarter last year.

At September 30, 2015, nonperforming loans were $40.8 million, a decrease of $4.3 million from June 30, 2015 and a decrease of $4.4 million from September 30, 2014. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.89%, 1.00% and 1.03% for the periods ended September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2015, net charge-offs were $1.4 million, compared to $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2014. There were no significant individual charge-offs in the third quarter of 2015. Second quarter 2015 charge-offs included a $2.3 million write-down on a loan to a contractor that was classified as nonaccrual during the fourth quarter of 2014. There were no significant individual charge-offs in the third quarter of 2014.

The allowance for credit losses was $48.5 million at September 30, 2015, and as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.06%, 1.01% and 1.15% for September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. General reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans were 0.97%, 0.98% and 1.06% for September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The allowance for credit losses as percentage of nonperforming loans was 118.84%, 106.26% and 112.21% for September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

OREO acquired through foreclosure increased $4.0 million to $10.5 million during the third quarter due primarily to one commercial relationship.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income, excluding net securities gains, decreased $0.8 million, or 5.0%, in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the prior quarter and increased $0.5 million, or 3.4%, compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily the result of a $1.4 million decline in the fair market value of commercial loan interest rate swaps. This mark-to-market adjustment was a positive adjustment of $0.6 million in the second quarter and a negative adjustment of $0.8 million in the third quarter. This was offset by a $0.4 million gain on the sale of a commercial loan and a $0.2 million increase in mortgage banking revenue, as well as a $0.1 million increase in trust income and a $0.2 million increase in deposit service charges. The increase from the prior-year period of $0.5 million is primarily related to an increase of $1.1 million in gain on sale of loans and a $0.5 million increase in insurance and retail brokerage commissions due to increased production and the acquisition of a local agency in the fourth quarter of 2014, offset by decreases of $0.7 million in commercial loan swap-related revenues due primarily to declines in the fair market value of commercial loan interest rate swaps.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, noninterest income, excluding net securities gains, decreased $1.0 million, or 2.1%, as compared to the same period of 2014, primarily due to a $2.0 million gain from the sale of an OREO property in the second quarter of 2014, a $1.2 million gain from the sale of our registered investment advisory business in the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of $0.8 million in service charges on deposit accounts and a $0.6 million reduction in commercial loan swap-related revenues due primarily to declines in the fair market value of commercial loan interest rate swaps over the same period. These negative variances were partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in insurance and retail brokerage commissions due to increased production and our agency acquisition, as well as a $2.1 million increase in gain on sale of loans, primarily through mortgage banking.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2015 from the prior quarter and decreased $1.3 million as compared to the third quarter of 2014. The decrease as compared to the linked quarter is primarily attributable to a $1.1 million OREO write-down for one commercial relationship and a $0.4 million loss on the write-down for a building in the second quarter of 2015, offset by $0.7 million of additional shares tax expense for the resolution of a disputed tax assessment in the third quarter of 2015 and a $0.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, primarily due to increased commercial loan production. The decrease from the prior year period of $1.3 million includes improvements of $2.2 million in IT conversion-related expenses that were incurred in the third quarter of 2014 and a $0.4 million decrease in net furniture and equipment expense due to less software/hardware maintenance and programing expense post conversion. These improvements in expense in the third quarter of 2015 were offset by the aforementioned $0.7 million shares tax resolution and a $0.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits.

For the nine months ending September 30, 2015, noninterest expense decreased $3.1 million, or 2.5%, as compared to the same period of 2014, driven by $7.3 million in IT conversion-related expenses that were incurred in the first nine months of 2014 and a decrease of $1.5 million in furniture and equipment expense related to less software/hardware maintenance and programming expense post conversion. Also affecting the comparison of the periods was a $0.9 million external fraud loss recovery in the prior year period. Increases in expense compared to the year-ago period included $1.2 million in salaries and benefits due in part to the launch of our mortgage initiative and the acquisition of an insurance agency in the fourth quarter of 2014, $0.5 million in occupancy expense due to higher snow removal and utilities, a $1.0 million increase in debit card fraud losses primarily due to large merchant breaches, as well as the aforementioned $1.5 million OREO and building write-downs and a $1.0 million increase in reserves for unfunded loan commitments included in other operating expenses.

Full time equivalent staff declined to 1,263 at September 30, 2015 from 1,388 at September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to staffing efficiencies enabled by the completion of our IT systems conversion, refinements to our branch staffing model and the closure of three branch offices in April 2015, offset by the recent launch of our mortgage initiative and the acquisition of an insurance agency.

The efficiency ratio, calculated as total noninterest expense as a percentage of total revenue (which consists of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis plus total noninterest income, excluding net securities gains), was 63.83% and 63.99% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to 66.65% and 66.25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
