First Quarter 2015 Highlights
(All comparisons are to the prior quarter, except as noted; Organic growth in loans and leases and deposits refers to growth excluding the benefit of initial balances obtained via acquisitions.)


    --  Organic growth in total average loans and leases was $194 million, or
        7.1% annualized, with average commercial loan and lease growth of $81
        million, or 5.2% annualized, and average consumer loan growth
        (consisting of direct loans, consumer lines of credit, indirect
        installment and residential loans) of $119 million, or 10.1% annualized.
    --  On an organic basis, average total deposits and customer repurchase
        agreements declined slightly by $30 million, or 1.0% annualized, due to
        the impact of seasonally lower customer repurchase agreement balances. 
        Period-end total deposits and customer repurchase agreements grew
        organically by $298 million, or 9.9% annualized.
    --  The net interest margin was 3.48%, compared to 3.54%, with the narrowing
        reflecting the continued low interest rate environment.
    --  The efficiency ratio was 56.6%, compared to 56.1% in the prior quarter
        and 59.0% in the first quarter of 2014.
    --  Credit quality results reflect further improvement in non-performing
        loan and delinquency levels.  For the originated portfolio,
        non-performing loans and other real estate owned (OREO) to total loans
        and leases and OREO improved 5 basis points to 1.08% and total
        originated delinquency improved 13 basis points to 0.86% at March 31,
        2015.  Net originated charge-offs were 0.24% annualized of total average
        originated loans and leases, compared to 0.17% annualized in the fourth
        quarter of 2014 and 0.28% annualized in the year-ago quarter.
    --  The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio increased 18 basis
        points to 7.01% at March 31, 2015.  The tangible book value per share
        (non-GAAP measure) increased $0.19 to $6.18 at March 31, 2015.

First Quarter 2015 Results - Comparison to Prior-Year Quarter
(All comparisons refer to the first quarter of 2014, except as noted)

Results include the impact from the OBA Financial Services, Inc. (OBAF) acquisition on September 19, 2014, and the BCSB Bancorp, Inc. (BCSB) acquisition on February 15, 2014.

Net Interest Income/Loans/Deposits
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $123.7 million, increasing $14.2 million, or 12.9%, primarily due to strong organic growth and the benefit from a full quarter of BCSB and OBAF. The net interest margin was 3.48%, compared to 3.62%, with the narrowing primarily attributable to the continued low interest rate environment and a competitive lending environment. Average earning assets grew $2.1 billion, or 17.2%, through consistent organic loan growth and the benefit of acquisition-related growth.

Average loans and leases totaled $11.3 billion representing an increase of $1.6 billion, or 16.4%, reflecting strong organic average loan and lease growth of $1.1 billion, or 11.5%, and loans added with the BCSB and OBAF acquisitions. Average organic commercial loan and lease growth was strong, increasing $575 million or 10.4%. Average organic consumer loan growth (consisting of direct loans, consumer lines of credit, indirect installment and residential loans) was also strong, increasing $556 million, or 13.0%. Organic growth results reflect the benefit of the increased number of prospects in the greater Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cleveland metropolitan markets and continued successful sales management.

Average deposits and customer repurchase agreements totaled $12.4 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion, or 9.0%, including average organic growth of $454 million, or 3.9%. Organic growth in low-cost transaction deposit accounts and customer repurchase agreements was $755 million, or 8.6%, led by strong organic growth in average non-interest bearing deposits of $339 million, or 15.1%.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $38.2 million, decreasing $3.9 million, or 9.2%, with the first quarter of 2014 including higher gains on the sale of securities of $9.5 million. Excluding securities gains, non-interest income increased $5.6 million, or 17.1%, due to organic growth across several fee-based businesses and acquisition-related growth. Mortgage banking revenues increased $1.6 million, due mainly to higher origination volume and successful cross-selling efforts. Wealth management revenues, which includes trust income and securities commissions, increased $1.1 million, or 14.9%, reflecting organic sales growth and added benefit from the BCSB and OBAF acquisitions. Customer swap fee revenue increased by $1.6 million, reflecting solid organic commercial loan growth during the quarter and demand for these products given the potential for interest rate increases in the current interest rate environment.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense totaled $94.7 million, increasing $0.5 million, or 0.5%. Excluding merger and severance costs of $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, non-interest expense increased $7.7 million, or 8.9%, primarily attributable to the additional operating costs related to a full quarter of BCSB and OBAF. The efficiency ratio improved to 56.6% from 59.0%.

Credit Quality
Credit quality results reflect overall improvement from the prior-year period. The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and leases and OREO improved 29 basis points to 0.94%, and for the originated portfolio, the ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and leases and OREO improved 38 basis points to 1.08%. Total originated delinquency, defined as total past due and non-accrual originated loans as a percentage of total originated loans and leases, improved 31 basis points to 0.86% at March 31, 2015, reflecting a $12.4 million, or 12.6%, reduction in total originated delinquency.

Net charge-offs totaled $5.6 million, or 0.20% annualized of total average loans and leases, compared to $5.6 million, or 0.23% annualized. For the originated portfolio, net charge-offs were $5.8 million, or 0.24% annualized of total average originated loans and leases, compared to $5.6 million, or 0.28% annualized. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total originated loans and leases was 1.22% at March 31, 2015, compared to 1.28%, with the change directionally consistent with the performance of the portfolio. The provision for credit losses totaled $8.1 million, compared to $7.0 million in the prior-year period primarily due to the strong organic loan and lease growth.

First Quarter 2015 Results - Comparison to Prior Quarter
(All comparisons refer to the fourth quarter of 2014, except as noted)

Net Interest Income/Loans/Deposits
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $123.7 million, decreasing $1.7 million, or 1.3%, reflecting two fewer days in the quarter and a continued low interest rate environment. The net interest margin was 3.48%, compared to 3.54% in the prior quarter. Excluding accretable yield adjustments, the first quarter core net interest margin was 3.43%, compared to 3.49%. The narrowing in the net interest margin reflects the continued low interest rate environment and a competitive lending environment.

Average loans and leases totaled $11.3 billion, and total average organic loan and lease growth totaled $194 million, or 7.1% annualized. Organic growth in average commercial loans and leases totaled $81 million, or 5.2% annualized, and organic growth in average consumer loans (consisting of direct loans, consumer lines of credit, indirect installment and residential loans) was $119 million, or 10.1% annualized. Commercial and consumer loan growth continued to benefit from the increased number of lending opportunities in the greater Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cleveland metropolitan markets.

Average deposits and customer repurchase agreements totaled $12.4 billion. On an organic basis, average total deposits and customer repurchase agreements decreased slightly by $30 million, or 1.0% annualized, reflecting the timing of seasonally lower average customer repurchase agreements. On a period-end basis, organic growth in total deposits and customer repurchase agreements was strong at $298 million, or 9.9% annualized. On an organic basis, average total transaction deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased $10 million, or 0.4% annualized, reflecting seasonally lower business deposits and customer repurchase agreement balances. On a period-end basis, organic growth in transaction deposits and customer repurchase agreements was strong at $320 million, or 13.5% annualized. Total loans as a percentage of deposits and customer repurchase agreements was 91% at March 31, 2015.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $38.2 million, decreasing $1.3 million, or 3.2%. Excluding a non-recurring $2.7 million gain in the fourth quarter of 2014, non-interest income increased $1.4 million, or 3.9%. The first quarter included positive results from mortgage banking, wealth management and higher swap fee revenue, offset by a seasonal decline in service charges. Mortgage banking results reflect successful cross-selling efforts, higher purchase volume and slightly increased refinance activity in 2015. Non-interest income represents 24% of total revenue.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense totaled $94.7 million, decreasing $2.0 million, or 2.1%. Excluding $1.6 million of merger and severance costs in the fourth quarter of 2014, non-interest expense decreased $0.4 million, or 0.5%, in the first quarter of 2015, reflecting a $1.0 million decrease in OREO expense, seasonally lower marketing costs and lower professional services fees. The $1.1 million increase in weather-related occupancy and equipment costs partially offset these items. The efficiency ratio was 56.6%, compared to 56.1%.

Credit Quality
Credit quality metrics reflect an improvement in the ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and leases and OREO of 3 basis points to 0.94% at March 31, 2015, and 5 basis points for the originated portfolio to 1.08%. Delinquency improved 13 basis points to 0.86% at March 31, 2015.

Net charge-offs for the first quarter totaled $5.6 million, or 0.20% annualized of total average loans and leases, compared to $4.7 million, or 0.17% annualized, in the prior quarter. For the originated portfolio, net charge-offs as a percentage of average originated loans and leases were 0.24% annualized, compared to 0.17% annualized in the prior quarter. For the originated portfolio, the allowance for credit losses to total originated loans and leases was flat at 1.22%, compared to December 31, 2014. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases increased slightly to 1.13%, compared to 1.12%. The provision for credit losses decreased $1.9 million to $8.1 million. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total non-performing loans increased to 180.8%, compared to 172.1%.

Capital Position

The tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP measure) increased to $6.18, from $5.99 and $5.58 at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We do not assume any duty and do not undertake to update forward-looking statements. Actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in forward-looking statements, as well as from historical performance.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties:


    --  Our businesses, financial results and balance sheet values are affected
        by business and economic conditions, including the following:
        --  Changes in interest rates and valuations in debt, equity and other
            financial markets.
        --  Disruptions in the liquidity and other functioning of U.S. and
            global financial markets.
        --  The impact of federal regulatory agencies that have oversight or
            review of F.N.B. Corporation's business and securities activities.
        --  Actions by the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury and other government
            agencies, including those that impact money supply and market
            interest rates.
        --  Changes in customers', suppliers' and other counterparties'
            performance and creditworthiness which adversely affect loan
            utilization rates, delinquencies, defaults and counterparty ability
            to meet credit and other obligations.
        --  Slowing or reversal of the rate of growth in the economy and
            employment levels and other economic factors that affect our
            liquidity and the performance of our loan portfolio, particularly in
            the markets in which we operate.
        --  Changes in customer preferences and behavior, whether due to
            changing business and economic conditions, legislative and
            regulatory initiatives, or other factors.
    --  Legal and regulatory developments could affect our ability to operate
        our businesses, financial condition, results of operations, competitive
        position, reputation, or pursuit of attractive acquisition
        opportunities.  Reputational impacts could affect matters such as
        business generation and retention, liquidity, funding, and ability to
        attract and retain management.  These developments could include:
        --  Changes resulting from legislative and regulatory reforms, including
            broad-based restructuring of financial industry regulation; changes
            to laws and regulations involving tax, pension, bankruptcy, consumer
            protection, and other industry aspects; and changes in accounting
            policies and principles.  We will continue to be impacted by
            extensive reforms provided for in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
            and Consumer Protection Act and otherwise growing out of the recent
            financial crisis, the precise nature, extent and timing of which,
            and their impact on us, remains uncertain.
        --  Results of the regulatory examination and supervisory process.
        --  Changes to regulations governing bank capital and liquidity
            standards, including due to the Dodd-Frank Act, Volcker rule and
            Basel III initiatives.
        --  Impact on business and operating results of any costs associated
            with obtaining rights in intellectual property, the adequacy of our
            intellectual property protection in general and our operational or
            security systems or infrastructure, or those of third-party vendors
            or other service providers, and rapid technological developments and
            changes.
    --  Business and operating results are affected by judgments and assumptions
        in our analytical and forecasting models, our reliance on the advice of
        experienced outside advisors and our ability to identify and effectively
        manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where appropriate,
        through effective use of third-party insurance, derivatives, swaps, and
        capital management techniques, and to meet evolving regulatory capital
        standards.
    --  As demonstrated by our acquisitions, we grow our business in part by
        acquiring, from time to time, other financial services companies,
        financial services assets and related deposits.  These acquisitions
        often present risks and uncertainties, including, the possibility that
        the transaction cannot be consummated; regulatory issues; cost or
        difficulties involved in integration and conversion of the acquired
        businesses after closing; inability to realize expected cost savings,
        efficiencies and strategic advantages; the extent of credit losses in
        acquired loan portfolios; the extent of deposit attrition; and the
        potential dilutive effect to our current shareholders.
    --  Competition can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and
        retention and on credit spreads and product pricing, which can affect
        market share, deposits and revenues.  Industry restructuring in the
        current environment could also impact our business and financial
        performance through changes in counterparty creditworthiness and
        performance, and the competitive and regulatory landscape.  Our ability
        to anticipate and respond to technological changes can also impact our
        ability to respond to customer needs and meet competitive demands.
    --  Business and operating results can also be affected by widespread
        disasters, dislocations, terrorist activities, cyber-attacks or
        international hostilities through their impacts on the economy and
        financial markets.

We provide greater detail regarding some of these factors in our 2014 Form 10-K, including the Risk Factors section of those reports, and our subsequent SEC filings. Our forward-looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those we may discuss elsewhere in this news release or in SEC filings, accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on our corporate website at www.fnbcorporation.com. We have included these web addresses as inactive textual references only. Information on these websites is not part of this document.
