Premier Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: PFC) (“Premier” or the “Company”) announced today 2020 fourth quarter and year-end results including solid core profitability. On a GAAP basis, net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $30.8 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $12.5 million, or $0.63 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2019. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2020, was $63.1 million, or $1.75 per diluted common share, compared to $49.4 million, or $2.48 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The year-over-year comparisons are substantially impacted by the acquisition of United Community Financial Corp. (“UCFC”) on January 31, 2020. The current year’s results include the impact of $2.2 million and $19.5 million of acquisition-related charges for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, which had after-tax costs of $1.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively, or $0.05 and $0.44 per diluted common share, respectively. The three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, included $0.9 million and $1.4 million of acquisition-related charges, respectively, which had after-tax costs of $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, or $0.03 and $0.06 per diluted common share, respectively. Additionally, the current year’s twelve month provision expense of $44.3 million included $25.9 million related to acquisition accounting for an after-tax cost of $20.5 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share. The full year of 2019 included a provision expense of $2.9 million and no acquisition impact. Excluding the impact of the acquisition-related provision and charges, earnings for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, were $32.6 million and $99.3 million, respectively, or $0.87 and $2.76 per diluted common share, respectively.

“With core earnings per share up almost 9% from last year, we are proud to announce our eighth consecutive year of record core earnings performance,” said Donald P. Hileman, CEO of Premier. “Improving credit conditions and the successful completion of integration efforts in the fourth quarter paved the way to the strong finish for the year.”

CEO transition

The Boards of Directors and Donald P. Hileman set the date for his transition from CEO of Premier Financial Corp. and Premier Bank to Executive Chairman of both Boards of Directors at March 31, 2021, consistent with plans outlined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Company and UCFC, dated September 9, 2019. On April 1, 2021, Gary M. Small will become CEO and President of both Premier Financial Corp. and Premier Bank and remain a member of the Boards of Directors.

“Don’s strong leadership as CEO over the past seven years and through the UCFC merger has been instrumental in creating a strong foundation for the continued success of the company,” said Gary M. Small, President of Premier. “We’ve worked closely over the past 16 months, preparing to ensure this is a smooth transition.”

Integration update

As previously announced, on January 31, 2020, the Company completed the strategic merger of equals with UCFC under which UCFC merged into Premier in a stock-for-stock transaction. The year-over-year comparison of Company results is substantially impacted by the UCFC merger, with 2020 fourth quarter and full year results including three and eleven months of operations from UCFC, respectively, compared to none for the comparable periods in 2019. In June, the Company launched its newly designed logo and brand identity for Premier Financial Corp. and Premier Bank. The new tagline “Powered by People” honors the longstanding commitment both organizations have to their customers, communities and employees. In July, Premier Bank successfully completed its core systems conversion. The integration of teams, systems and processes for the combined organization was completed as expected.

“The fourth quarter and full-year performance reflected the benefits of our combined organization and the ability of our team to produce top-tier results in a very challenging environment,” said Small. “We are very pleased with our position as we enter 2021 and continue to implement enhancements designed to deliver a top-quality customer experience and exceptional performance.”

Business client support efforts

As a part of the CARES Act, the Small Business Administration created the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) to provide small businesses with loans as a direct incentive to keep their workers on the payroll. Premier Bank actively participated in PPP for clients and made 2,880 loans for a total of $443.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Total gross fees for these loans totaled $14.8 million. Premier Bank recognized $3.6 million and $8.0 million as loan interest income during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, a total of $56.4 million in loans were extinguished; and Premier Bank recognized approximately $0.8 million of accelerated fees in loan interest income.

Net interest income up compared to fourth quarter of 2019

Net interest income of $55.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 was up from $29.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase over the prior year’s fourth quarter was attributable to organic growth and three months of income from UCFC compared to none in 2019. Net interest margin was 3.47% for the fourth quarter of 2020, consistent with 3.47% in the third quarter of 2020, and down from 3.80% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Yield on interest earning assets decreased to 3.84% in the fourth quarter of 2020, down seven basis points from 3.91% in the third quarter of 2020. Total cost of funds decreased eight basis points in the fourth quarter of 2020 to 0.39% from 0.47% in the third quarter of 2020 while the total cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 15 basis points to 0.47% from 0.62%. The 2020 fourth quarter results include the impact of acquisition marks and related accretion for the UCFC acquisition. Interest income includes $0.7 million of accretion and interest expense includes $0.6 million of accretion, which combined added 10 basis points of net interest margin. The fourth quarter results also include the impact of PPP loans. Interest income includes $3.6 million on average balances of $426.5 million, which increased net interest margin by one basis point. Excluding the impact of acquisition marks and PPP loans, net interest margin would be 3.36% for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 3.41% for the third quarter of 2020.

“The beginning of PPP loan forbearances and accelerated fees in the fourth quarter allowed us to stabilize net interest margin,” said Hileman. “We continue to focus our strategies on managing funding costs and excess liquidity to help mitigate the impacts to core net interest margin.”

Non-interest income up from fourth quarter of 2019

Premier’s non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $18.7 million compared with $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Results for the fourth quarter of 2020 included three months of income from UCFC compared to none in 2019.

Mortgage banking income increased to $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 from $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans increased to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 from $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Mortgage loan servicing revenue increased to $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 from $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights increased to $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 from $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Premier had a negative change in the valuation adjustment in mortgage servicing assets of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared with a positive adjustment of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The year-over-year change for the fourth quarter is primarily due to increased prepayment speeds in the current down rate environment.

For the fourth quarter of 2020, service fees and other charges were $5.8 million, up from $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Commissions from the sale of insurance products were $3.9 million, up from $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, Premier began to report wealth management income, which represents trust income plus income for brokerage and financial advisory services that were previously reported in other non-interest income. Prior period amounts have been restated for consistency. Wealth management income was $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, up from $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

“We remain pleased with the strength of our performance in non-interest income,” said Hileman. “While down seasonally from third quarter, mortgage banking was a significant contributor to our growth with $6.1 million in gains this quarter, up from $2.0 million last year, driven by continued exceptional residential loan origination activity and excellent gain on sale margins.”

Non-interest expenses up from fourth quarter of 2019

Total non-interest expense was $41.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, or $39.1 million excluding $2.2 million of acquisition related charges, up from $24.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, or $23.8 million excluding $0.9 million of acquisition related charges. Results for the fourth quarter of 2020 included three months of expenses from UCFC compared to none in 2019. Compensation and benefits increased to $19.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $14.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Occupancy expense was $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, up from $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Data processing cost was $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, up from $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Amortization of intangibles was $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, up from $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Other non-interest expense was $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, up from $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

FDIC insurance premiums were a $1.0 million expense in the fourth quarter of 2020, up from a $0.2 million expense in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in expense from prior year is largely due to the increased size of Premier Bank post-merger and the impact of PPP. Although PPP loan balances are excludable from the asset-based component, they are not excludable from the leverage ratio component because the Company did not borrow from the PPP Liquidity Facility; and any loan funds that were in deposits would also increase the asset-based component.

Credit quality

Non-performing loans totaled $52.9 million at December 31, 2020, an increase from $48.3 million at September 30, 2020, and an increase from $13.5 million at December 31, 2019, due to the UCFC merger. In addition, Premier had $0.3 million of OREO at December 31, 2020, compared to $0.1 million at December 31, 2019. Accruing troubled debt restructured loans were $6.8 million at December 31, 2020, compared with $8.4 million at December 31, 2019.

On January 1, 2020, Premier adopted the Current Expected Credit Loss model of accounting for credit losses. This new GAAP model, which replaces the former incurred loss model, requires entities to estimate credit losses over the life of an asset or off-balance sheet exposure. Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, Premier began to report total provision for credit losses inclusive of amounts related to off-balance sheet unfunded commitments, which were previously reported in other non-interest expenses. Prior period amounts have been restated for consistency.

The 2020 fourth quarter results include net loan charge-offs of $0.7 million and a total provision credit of $6.8 million compared with net loan charge-offs of $91,000 and a total provision expense of $1.1 million for the same period in 2019. The allowance for credit loss on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.49% at December 31, 2020, or 1.61% excluding PPP loans, compared with 1.63% at September 30, 2020, or 1.77% excluding PPP loans, and 1.12% at December 31, 2019. The year-over-year increase in the provision expense and allowance percentage is primarily attributable to the impact of the economic deterioration that began in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2020, Premier Bank had pandemic-related deferrals for $46.0 million of commercial loans, down from $434.6 million at September 30, and $7.4 million of retail loans, down from $48.2 million at September 30.

“The volatility of CECL was on display this quarter as we were able to release some reserves due to improving economic forecasts,” said Paul D. Nungester, CFO of Premier. “While we continue to experience some risk migration, the pace has slowed and begun to stabilize with criticized loans down to 4.3% at year-end from 4.5% last quarter.”

Annual results

For the year ended December 31, 2020, net income totaled $63.1 million, or $1.75 per diluted common share, compared to $49.4 million, or $2.48 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2019. Results for the full year 2020 included eleven months of income and expenses from UCFC compared to none in 2019. The year-over-year comparison is also substantially impacted by the current year’s provision expense of $44.3 million, which included $25.9 million related to acquisition accounting for an after-tax cost of $20.5 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share. The full year 2019 included a total provision expense of $2.9 million and no acquisition impact. Additionally, the current year’s results include the impact of $19.5 million of acquisition-related charges, which had an after-tax cost of $15.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share. The full year 2019 included $1.4 million of acquisition-related charges, which had an after tax cost of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share. Excluding the impact of acquisition-related provision and charges, earnings for the full year 2020 were $99.3 million, or $2.76 per diluted common share compared to $50.7 million or $2.54 per diluted share for 2019.

Net interest income was $208.0 million for 2020 compared with $115.6 million for 2019. Average interest-earning assets increased to $5.93 billion in 2020 compared to $2.97 billion for 2019. Net interest margin for 2020 was 3.52%, down 41 basis points from the 3.93% margin reported for 2019. The 2020 results include the impact of acquisition marks and related accretion for the UCFC acquisition. Interest income includes $4.4 million of accretion and interest expense includes $3.9 million of accretion, which combined added 14 basis points of net interest margin. The 2020 results also include the impact of PPP loans. Interest income includes $8.0 million on average balances of $291.3 million, which reduced net interest margin by four basis points. Excluding the impact of acquisition marks and PPP loans, net interest margin was 3.42% for 2020.

Non-interest income for 2020 was $80.7 million compared to $45.0 million for 2019. Service fees and other charges were $21.4 million for 2020, up from $14.0 million for 2019. Mortgage banking income was $28.2 million for 2020, up from $9.5 million for 2019. Insurance commissions were $16.8 million for 2020 compared with $14.1 million for 2019. Wealth management income was $6.2 million for 2020, up from $3.1 million for 2019.

Securities gains were $1.6 million in 2020, up from $24,000 in 2019. The Company early extinguished $30.0 million of fixed rate FHLB advances in the third quarter of 2020 that had a weighted average rate of 2.0% and incurred a prepayment penalty of $1.4 million recognized in other expenses. The Company sold $55.0 million of mortgage-backed securities yielding approximately 1.80% at a gain of $1.4 million. The proceeds from the sales were reinvested into securities yielding approximately 1.50% funded by overnight advances with a cost of approximately 20 basis points. The net effect of the transactions is expected to increase pretax income approximately $425,000 over the subsequent 12 months and enhance net interest margin by one basis point.

Non-interest expense was $165.2 million for 2020, or $145.7 million excluding acquisition-related charges, up from $97.1 million, or $95.7 million excluding acquisition-related charges, for the same period of 2019. Compensation and benefits expense was $77.2 million for 2020 compared with $57.2 million for 2019. Expenses also included increases in occupancy of $7.3 million, FDIC premiums of $2.9 million, data processing of $6.8 million, amortization of intangibles of $5.3 million and other expenses of $5.7 million. Additional detail regarding certain items impacting FDIC premiums and other expenses are discussed above.

Total assets at $7.21 billion

Total assets at December 31, 2020, were $7.21 billion compared to $6.97 billion at September 30, 2020, and $3.47 billion at December 31, 2019. Gross loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale) were $5.49 billion at December 31, 2020, compared to $5.47 billion at September 30, 2020, and $2.75 billion at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2020, gross loans receivable grew $2.74 billion, or 100% from a year ago, including $2.30 billion from the UCFC merger and $0.44 billion organically, including $0.39 billion of PPP loans. Also, at December 31, 2020, goodwill and other intangible assets totaled $348.3 million compared to $350.0 million at September 30, 2020, and $103.8 million at December 31, 2019, with the increase attributable to the UCFC merger.

Total deposits at December 31, 2020, were $6.05 billion compared with $5.80 billion at September 30, 2020, and $2.87 billion at December 31, 2019.

The increase in stockholders’ equity from the prior year was due to net earnings and the UCFC merger, offset partially by the Company’s repurchase of 430,000 common shares for $10.1 million during the first quarter of 2020.

Buybacks authorization

At December 31, 2020, 570,000 common shares remained available for repurchase under the Company’s existing repurchase program.

Non-GAAP Reporting Measures

We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider core net income and core pre-tax pre-provision income to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. We define core net income as net income excluding the after-tax impact of acquisition related charges. We define core pre-tax pre-provision income as pre-tax pre-provision income excluding the pre-tax impact of acquisition related charges. We believe that these metrics are useful supplemental measures of operating performance because investors and equity analysts may use these measures to compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other financial institutions or other companies on a consistent basis without having to account for one-time acquisition related charges. Our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. The supplemental reporting measures do not represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other financial institutions or other companies. Please see the exhibits for reconciliations of our supplemental reporting measures.

Note: 2020 current quarter and year-to-date results include three and eleven months of operations from UCFC, respectively, compared to none for comparable periods in 2019. (1) Interest on certain tax exempt loans and securities is not taxable for Federal income tax purposes. In order to compare the tax-exempt yields on these assets to taxable yields, the interest earned on these assets is adjusted to a pre-tax equivalent amount based on the marginal corporate federal income tax rate of 21%. (2) Annualized. (3) Securities yield = annualized interest income divided by the average balance of securities, excluding average unrealized gains/losses. (4) Net interest margin is tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
