Earnings

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $44.9 million, or $0.45 per share, compared to $44.6 million, or $0.44 per share in the second quarter of 2026, and $41.3 million, or $0.39 per share for the third quarter of 2025.

Core net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $45.4 million, or $0.45 per share, compared to $44.4 million, or $0.44 per share in the second quarter of 2026, and $41.2 million, or $0.39 per share for the third quarter of 2025.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income (FTE) of $116.7 million increased $3.9 million from the previous quarter and increased $5.3 million from the prior-year quarter.  The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to a 10 basis point expansion in the net interest margin and one additional day in the quarter.

The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2026 was 4.11%, an increase of 10 basis points from the previous quarter and an increase of 19 basis points from the third quarter of 2025.  The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to a seven basis point decrease in the cost of deposits and a $104.8 million increase in average loans combined with a $106.7 million decrease in average cash balances. The net interest margin benefitted further by a two basis points increase in the yield on loans primarily due to higher yields on variable/adjustable loans and the upward repricing of fixed rate loans.  The total cost of funds was 1.74% in the third quarter of 2026, which represents a decrease of five basis points from the previous quarter.

Total average deposits decreased $87.1 million, or 3.3% annualized, in the third quarter of 2026 as compared to the previous quarter.  Average time deposits decreased $163.8 million and average noninterest-bearing deposits grew $72.4 million.

Asset Quality

Provision expense in the third quarter of 2026 totaled $14.2 million as compared to $8.9 million in the previous quarter.  The increase from the prior quarter was due to a $3.5 million increase in reserves for unfunded commitments and a $6.7 million increase in reserves primarily for three individually analyzed commercial credits, two of which were transferred to nonaccrual status during the third quarter of 2026.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of end-of-period loans in the third quarter of 2026 was 1.40% as compared to 1.35% in the previous quarter.

At September 30, 2026, nonperforming loans totaled $95.2 million, an increase of $13.6 million from the previous quarter.  The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily due to the migration of two commercial credits with an aggregate balance of $21.0 million to nonaccrual status.

Nonperforming loans represented 0.99% of total loans for the period ended September 30, 2026 as compared to 0.86% and 0.91% for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2026, net charge-offs were $4.6 million as compared to $11.4 million in the previous quarter and $12.2 million in the third quarter of 2025.  The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to the resolution of six commercial credits with an aggregate balance of $6.9 million in the previous quarter.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans (annualized) were 0.19%, 0.49% and 0.50% for the periods ended September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Noninterest income (excluding securities gains of $0.3 million in 2Q26 and $0.4 million in 3Q25) of $26.7 million for the third quarter of 2026 was unchanged from $26.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 but increased by $2.2 million from $24.5 million for the third quarter of 2025. 

Swap fee income increased $0.3 million, Trust income increased $0.3 million and gain on sale of Mortgage loans increased $0.2 million. These were offset by a $0.8 million decrease in gains on the redemption of subordinated debt, which was recognized in the previous quarter.

Noninterest expense (excluding merger-related expense of $0.1 million in 3Q26, $0.1 million in 2Q26 and $0.2 million in 3Q25) was $78.1 million for the third quarter of 2026, as compared to $74.1 million in the second quarter of 2026 and $72.7 million in the third quarter of 2025.

The $4.0 million increase in noninterest expense from the previous quarter was driven by a $1.6 million increase in salaries and benefits, a $0.8 million increase in the loss on sale or write-down of assets due to the termination of a sale leaseback agreement, a $0.7 million increase in furniture and equipment and a $0.7 million increase in FDIC insurance due to a lower assessment rate in the previous quarter.

The core efficiency ratio was 53.15% during the third quarter of 2026 as compared to 52.24% in the previous quarter and 52.30% in the third quarter of 2025.

Full time equivalent staff was 1,575, 1,589 and 1,548 at September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. 

Tax, Dividends and Capital

During the third quarter, the Company purchased $54.7 million in renewable energy tax credits at a discount, a process which began in the second quarter.  The Company intends to apply these credits towards its federal tax liability for 2025 and prior tax years.  The purchase of these credits reduced taxes payable by $4.7 million in the third quarter.

First Commonwealth Financial Corporation declared a common stock quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share, which represents a 3.7% increase from the third quarter of 2025.  The cash dividend is payable on November 20, 2026 to shareholders of record as of November 6, 2026.  This dividend represents a 2.6% projected annual yield utilizing the October 26, 2026 closing market price of $21.19.

On October 27, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $25 million share repurchase program.

First Commonwealth’s capital ratios for Total, Tier I, Leverage and Common Equity Tier I at September 30, 2026 were 14.3%, 12.6%, 10.6% and 11.9%, respectively.  First Commonwealth’s current capital levels exceed the fully phased-in Basel III capital requirements issued by U.S. bank regulators.
