Third Quarter 2017 Highlights
(All comparisons refer to the second quarter of 2017, except as noted)


    --  Growth in total average loans was $293 million, or 5.7% annualized, with
        average commercial loan growth of $125 million, or 3.9% annualized, and
        average consumer loan growth of $178 million, or 9.4% annualized.
    --  Average total deposits increased $41 million, or 0.8% annualized,
        including an increase in average non-interest bearing deposits of $61
        million, partially offset by a decline in average interest-bearing
        deposits of $34 million.
    --  The loan to deposit ratio ended September 30, 2017 at 94.9%, compared to
        97.5% at June 30, 2017, primarily due to annualized total deposit growth
        of 16.5%.
    --  The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) expanded 2 basis points to
        3.44% from 3.42%, reflecting $1.7 million of increased incremental
        purchase accounting accretion and $3.2 million of increased cash
        recoveries relative to the second quarter.
    --  Total revenue increased 2.4% to $291 million, reflecting a 3.1% increase
        in net interest income and stable non-interest income.
    --  Increased non-interest income from mortgage banking, insurance and
        wealth management was offset by a decrease in capital markets revenue.
    --  The efficiency ratio on an operating basis (non-GAAP) improved to 53.1%,
        compared to 54.3% in the prior quarter, due to increased total revenue
        and flat non-interest expense.
    --  Annualized net charge-offs were 0.24% of total average loans, compared
        to 0.23% in the second quarter of 2017, and 0.33% in the year-ago
        quarter.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) increased four basis points to 6.87% at September 30, 2017, compared to 6.83% at June 30, 2017. The tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $6.12 at September 30, 2017, an increase of $0.12 from June 30, 2017.

Third Quarter 2017 Results - Comparison to Prior Quarter

Net interest income totaled $225.2 million, increasing $6.8 million or 3.1%. The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) expanded two basis points to 3.44% and included $2.2 million of incremental purchase accounting accretion and $4.3 million of cash recoveries, compared to $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in the prior quarter. Total average earning assets increased $488 million, or 1.9%, due to average loan growth of $293 million and a $118 million increase in average securities.

Average loans totaled $20.7 billion and increased $293 million, or 5.7% annualized, reflecting solid loan growth in the commercial and consumer portfolios. Average commercial loan growth totaled $125 million, or 3.9% annualized, primarily due to origination volume in the Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cleveland markets. Average consumer loan growth was $178 million, or 9.4% annualized, led by continued growth in indirect auto loans and residential mortgage loans.

Average deposits totaled $21.2 billion and increased $41 million, or 0.8% annualized, due to growth in non-interest bearing deposits, which was partially offset by decreased savings and interest checking balances. The loan to deposit ratio ended September 30, 2017 at 94.9%, compared to 97.5% at June 30, 2017, primarily attributable to growth in customer-based interest checking and time deposit balances. The growth reflects heightened deposit gathering efforts during the third quarter focused on attracting new customer relationships and deepening relationships with existing customers through internal lead generation efforts.

Non-interest income totaled $66.2 million, consistent with the prior quarter, and included increases in mortgage banking, insurance and wealth management, as well as $2.3 million of additional securities gains. The increases were offset by a $2.2 million decrease in capital markets revenue driven by lower activity compared to the prior quarter.

Non-interest expense totaled $163.7 million, essentially flat compared to the prior quarter. Both periods included $1.4 million of merger-related expenses. The $2.5 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits was offset by $1.0 million of higher occupancy and equipment expense, increased outside services and $0.4 million of increased other real estate owned expenses. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) improved to 53.1%, compared to 54.3%.

The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO improved 8 basis points to 0.70%. For the originated portfolio, the ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO improved 17 basis points to 0.91%. Total delinquency remains at satisfactory levels, and total originated delinquency, defined as total past due and non-accrual originated loans as a percentage of total originated loans, improved 8 basis points to 0.91%, compared to 0.99% at June 30, 2017.

Net charge-offs totaled $12.5 million, or 0.24% annualized of total average loans, compared to $11.8 million, or 0.23% annualized in the prior quarter. For the originated portfolio, net charge-offs were $13.0 million, or 0.37% annualized of total average originated loans, compared to $12.7 million or 0.38% annualized. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans and leases increased to 0.82% at September 30, 2017, from 0.81% at June 30, 2017. For the originated portfolio, the allowance for loan losses to total originated loans was 1.12%, compared to 1.15% at June 30, 2017. The total provision for loan losses totaled $16.8 million in both periods.

September 30, 2017 Year-To-Date Results - Comparison to Prior Year-To-Date Period

Net interest income totaled $616.4 million, increasing $164.2 million, or 36.3%, reflecting average earning asset growth of $6.6 billion, or 36.1%, due to organic growth and the benefit of acquisitions. The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) expanded 2 basis points to 3.41% and included $2.0 million of higher incremental purchase accounting accretion and $0.7 million of higher cash recoveries compared to the first nine months of 2016.

Average loans totaled $19.1 billion, an increase of $5.0 billion, or 35.6%, due to the benefit from continued organic loan growth and acquired balances. Organic growth in total average loans equaled $907 million, or 6.3%. Total average organic consumer loan growth of $618 million, or 10.7%, was led by strong growth in residential mortgage and indirect auto loans. Organic growth in average commercial loans totaled $299 million, or 3.5%. Organic commercial loan growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the year-ago period was impacted by normal attrition related to the acquired commercial portfolio. Average deposits totaled $19.8 billion and increased $4.7 billion, or 30.8%, due to the benefit of acquired balances and average organic growth of $315 million or 2.0%. On an organic basis, average total transaction deposits increased $489 million or 3.8%.

Non-interest income totaled $187.3 million, increasing $36.7 million, or 24.3%. Non-interest income primarily reflects the benefit of acquisitions and continued expansion of our fee-based businesses of capital markets, mortgage banking, wealth management and insurance.

Non-interest expense totaled $515.0 million, increasing $127.7 million, or 33.0%. The first nine months of 2017 included merger-related expenses of $55.5 million, compared to $35.8 million in the first nine months of 2016. Excluding merger-related expenses, total non-interest expense increased $108.0 million, or 30.7%, with the increase primarily attributable to the expanded operations from acquisitions. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) was 54.7%, compared to 55.4% in the first nine months of 2016.

Credit quality results remained at satisfactory levels. For the originated portfolio, non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO was 0.91%, compared to 1.08%. Total originated delinquency was 0.91% at September 30, 2017, a decrease of 9 basis points from 1.00% at September 30, 2016.

Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2017 totaled $32.4 million, or 0.23% annualized of total average loans, compared to 0.27% annualized. Net originated charge-offs were 0.33% annualized of total average originated loans, compared to 0.32% annualized. For the originated portfolio, the allowance for loan losses to total originated loans was 1.12%, compared to 1.23% at September 30, 2016. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased 24 basis points to 0.82%, with the decline due to acquired loan balances which were initially recorded at fair value without a corresponding allowance for loan losses in accordance with accounting for business combinations. The total provision for loan losses was $44.4 million, compared to $43.0 million in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating net income available to common stockholders, operating net income per diluted common share, return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, efficiency ratio, and net interest margin (FTE) to provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators we use may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to measure their performance and trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the event of disclosure or release of non-GAAP financial measures, the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Regulation G requires: (i) the presentation of the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure presented and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (included in the tables at the end of this release).

Management believes merger expenses are not organic costs to run our operations and facilities. These charges principally represent expenses to satisfy contractual obligations of the acquired entity without any useful benefit to us and to convert and consolidate the entity's records, systems and data onto our platforms and professional fees related to the transaction. These costs are specific to each individual transaction and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction.

For the calculation of net interest margin and the efficiency ratio, net interest income amounts are reflected on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis which adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory tax rate of 35% for each period presented. We use these measures to provide an economic view believed to be the preferred industry measurement for these items and provide relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

                                 loans has been considered by
                                 virtue of our estimate of
                                 acquisition-date fair value
                                 and these loans are considered

                                 value of these loans and their
                                 expected cash flows.  Because
                                 acquired loans are initially

                                 to be collectible, losses on
