Financial results for Your Community Bankshares, Inc. ("YCB") were included in WesBanco's results after September 9, 2016, the date of the consummation of the merger. The merger, which was announced on May 3, 2016, was approved by all appropriate regulatory agencies and the shareholders of YCB before the end of August, permitting the transaction to be closed in slightly over four months. YCB, with approximately $1.5 billion of assets, was headquartered in New Albany, IN and operated through 34 financial centers in Indiana and Kentucky. The YCB merger meshes well with WesBanco's strategic growth plans and contiguous market expansion, and expands the WesBanco franchise into new attractive growth markets. WesBanco now has $9.8 billion in total assets and provides banking services through 174 branch locations in five states. WesBanco's results also include ESB Financial Corporation's ("ESB") results from February 10, 2015, the date of consummation of that merger.

"I am pleased to report that we successfully converted Your Community Bank with the integration and branding of our products, services, systems, and processes," said Mr. Clossin. "We remain excited about the opportunities our newest markets in Indiana and Kentucky provide, and are encouraged by the enthusiasm of our newest employees."

Mr. Clossin added, "2016 was another successful year for WesBanco. We have strong market share in our legacy markets, including several major metropolitan areas across five states. We continue to manage operating expenses diligently as evidenced by our year-to-date efficiency ratio of 56.7%. Lastly, our strong risk and compliance framework, coupled with our diversification and balanced growth, helped us to once again be named one of America's Best Banks during 2017 by a leading financial magazine. We are excited about our opportunities for the upcoming year, and look forward to a continuation of our stated strategies as we provide additional value to our customers and shareholders."

Financial Condition

Total assets at December 31, 2016 increased $1.3 billion or 15.6% compared to December 31, 2015 due to the acquisition of YCB. Management remains focused on controlling overall growth, primarily through control of the securities portfolio, in order to manage the financial impact of crossing $10 billion in assets. Portfolio loans increased $1.2 billion or 23.4% over the last twelve months with $1.0 billion from the YCB acquisition and $171.9 million, or 3.4% from organic loan growth. Expanded market areas and additional commercial personnel in our core markets provided the organic loan growth, which occurred primarily in commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and home equity lending categories, and was achieved through $2.0 billion in loan originations in 2016, partially offset by certain large commercial real estate payoffs. Total business loan originations were up approximately 26.7% compared to 2015. The re-mix in average earning assets continued as securities as a percentage of total assets were reduced from 28.6% at December 31, 2015 to 23.7% at December 31, 2016, while loans have increased as a percentage of total assets to 63.8%.

Total deposits increased $974.6 million or 16.1% during the last twelve months, reflecting $1.2 billion from the YCB acquisition and our stated balance sheet strategy. Total organic deposits, excluding CDs, increased 2.3%, driven by 10.8% organic growth in interest bearing and non-interest bearing demand deposits. Reflecting customer preferences, total demand deposits, as of December 31, 2016, now represent 47.4% of total deposits, an increase from 40.6% a year ago.

WesBanco continues to maintain strong regulatory capital ratios after the YCB acquisition and implementation of the BASEL III capital standards. At December 31, 2016, Tier I leverage was 9.81%, Tier I Risk-Based capital was 13.16%, Total Risk-Based capital was 14.18% and the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio ("CET 1"), was 11.28%. Both consolidated and bank-level regulatory capital ratios are well above the applicable "well-capitalized" standards promulgated by bank regulators and the BASEL III capital standards. Total tangible equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP measure) was 8.20% at December 31, 2016, increasing from 7.95% at December 31, 2015, which reflects the acquisition of YCB and lower accumulated other comprehensive income. Strong earnings and increased total capital have enabled WesBanco to increase the quarterly dividend rate, currently at $0.24 per share, nine times over the last six years, cumulatively representing a 71% increase. The most recent increase was $0.01 per share per quarter in the first quarter of 2016.

Credit Quality

While the provision for credit losses increased by 1.5% in 2016, primarily due to loan growth, credit metrics continued to improve. The provision for credit losses increased to $8.5 million in 2016, compared to $8.4 million in 2015. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average portfolio loans of 0.12% in 2016 decreased from 0.23% in 2015.

Non-performing loans (including TDRs), criticized and classified loans all improved as a percentage of total portfolio loans from December 31 2015. Total non-performing loans were 0.63% of total loans at December 31, 2016, decreasing from 0.89% of total loans at the end of 2015. Criticized and classified loans were 1.20% of total loans, improving from 1.57% at December 31, 2015. Past due loans at December 31, 2016 were 0.32% of total loans, minimally higher than the 0.28% at December 31, 2015, primarily due to higher delinquencies on the YCB acquired portfolio due to the administrative transition.

The allowance for loan losses represented 0.70% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2016 compared to 0.82% as of December 31, 2015. If the acquired YCB and ESB loans (recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition of $1,713.1 million) were excluded from the ratio, the allowance would approximate 0.96% of the adjusted loan total at December 31, 2016 compared to 1.09% prior to the ESB acquisition.

Net Interest Income

The net interest margin increased by 10 basis points to 3.42% in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2016 as a result of higher yielding assets acquired through the acquisition. The increased yield on assets in the fourth quarter of 2016 of 15 basis points more than offset an 8 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities as compared to fourth quarter of 2015. Net interest income increased $11.1 million or 18.3% in fourth quarter of 2016 compared to fourth quarter of 2015 due to a 25.2% increase in average loan balances resulting in a 14.4% increase in average earning assets, partially due to a 10 basis point increase in the net interest margin. The increase in average loan balances in 2016 was due to a combination of the acquisition and the 3.4% organic loan growth highlighted by 6.2% of commercial loan growth.

The year-over-year net interest margin decreased to 3.32% in 2016 compared to 3.41% in 2015. This decrease in the net interest margin is primarily due to 10 basis points of increased funding costs and an asset yield decline of 2 basis points. Total average loan rates decreased by 9 basis points year-over-year due to repricing of existing loans at lower spreads, competitive pricing on new loans and the extended low interest rate environment. The funding cost increase of 10 basis points in 2016, compared to 2015, is primarily due to an increase in the percentage of borrowings, primarily FHLB, to 19.8% of interest bearing liabilities from 14.3% in 2015, as well as a 27 basis point increase in the average total cost of these borrowings year-over-year. Average interest bearing deposits in 2016 increased 1.1%, as increases in interest bearing demand and savings accounts more than offset declines in CDs and money market accounts. During the last few quarters, the net interest margin has been relatively stable, ranging from 3.29% to 3.42% with improvements in the most recent quarter.

Non-Interest Income

For 2016, non-interest income increased $7.0 million or 9.4% compared to 2015. Service charges on deposits increased $1.6 million or 9.5% and electronic banking fees increased $1.2 million or 8.6% through a larger customer deposit base from the addition of YCB. Net securities gains increased $1.4 million in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to increased calls of agency notes. Net securities brokerage revenue decreased $1.2 million or 16.2% primarily as a result of our strategy to retain deposits. Other income increased $4.2 million due to a $2.7 million increase of commercial customer loan swap fee and market value related income and improvement in various other income categories.

Non-Interest Expense

The following comments on non-interest expense exclude merger-related expenses in both years. Non-interest expense in 2016 grew $12.6 million or 6.9%, compared to 2015. With net revenue growth of 7.5% in 2016, this positive operating leverage helped to improve the efficiency ratio in 2016 to 56.7% from 57.1% in 2015. For 2016, salaries and wages increased $6.9 million or 9.0% due to increased compensation expense related to an 18.1% increase in full-time equivalent employees, primarily late in the third quarter of 2016 from the YCB acquisition, and routine annual adjustments to compensation. Employee benefits expense increased $1.1 million, or 3.9%, primarily from increased deferred compensation type expenses. Increases in net occupancy and equipment were also primarily from costs related to the additional branches from the YCB acquisition. At the end of the fourth quarter, a portion of the intended post conversion cost savings were beginning to be experienced through branch and system conversions.

    (1) See non-GAAP financial measures for additional information relating to the calculation of this item.

    (2) The yield on earning assets, net interest margin, net interest spread and efficiency ratios are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) and annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt
     loans and investments. WesBanco believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income  and provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.
