Earnings per share for the 4th quarter of 2014 increased by
21 percent totaling $.41, compared to $.34 per share in the 4th
quarter of 2013.
Michael C. Rechin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our 4th
quarter results capped off a very productive and profitable 2014 for
First Merchants. Our goal is to improve operating leverage independent
of the interest rate environment. Our 2014 results evidence our
commitment to execute on organic growth while adding franchise additive
acquisitions. During 2014, we fully incorporated Citizens Financial Bank
and its attractive marketplace into our company. In 2015, we expect
similar strong results through the integration of Community Bank of
Noblesville, having closed the transaction in November 2014. The recent
announcing of the agreement to acquire Cooper State Bank in Columbus,
Ohio, complements our prior acquisitions in fortifying our best growth
markets. Our management is focused on achieving additional prudent
growth and our overall 2015 plan.”
Total assets equaled $5.8 billion as of year-end and total loans were
$3.9 billion, an increase of $292 million, or 8 percent over the same
period in 2013. Of the increase, $147 million was the result of organic
growth and $145 million resulted from the acquisition of Community Bank
of Noblesville in November of 2014. Total deposits equaled $4.6 billion
as of year-end and increased by $409 million or 9.7 percent as Community
Bank of Noblesville accounted for $228 million. Borrowings declined by
$111 million during the year and tangible equity increased by $77
million or 17.6 percent. Tangible book value per share increased by
$1.48, or 12.2 percent, to $13.65 per share as of year-end 2014 up from
$12.17 as of year-end 2013.
Net-interest income totaled $187 million in 2014 and net-interest margin
totaled 3.91 percent as yields on earning assets totaled 4.35 percent
offset by the cost of supporting liabilities which totaled .44 percent.
When normalized for fair value accretion income of $8.9 million in 2014
and $2.2 million in 2013, net interest margin totaled 3.73 percent in
2014 compared to 3.94 percent in 2013.
Non-interest income totaled $65.7 million in 2014 compared to $54.8
million in 2013. Non-interest expense totaled $168.6 million in 2014
compared to $143.2 million in 2013. The significant variances in both
non-interest income and non-interest expenses are primarily due to the
acquisition of Citizens Financial Bank in November of 2013.
Provision expense totaled $2.6 million in 2014 and net charge-offs
totaled $6.5 million. In 2013, provision expense totaled $6.6 million
and net charge-offs totaled $8.1 million. The December 31, 2014
allowance for loan losses totaled $64 million and our remaining fair
value mark totals $43.2 million including $8.8 million related to
Community Bank of Noblesville loans. The December 31, 2013 allowance for
loan losses totaled $67.9 million and our remaining fair value mark
totaled $46.1 million. Non-performing assets declined from $81.7 million
in 2013 to $70.1 million including the fourth quarter addition of $12.4
million related to Community Bank of Noblesville.
As of December 31, 2014, the Corporation's total risk-based capital
equaled 15.34 percent, Tier 1 common risk-based capital equaled 12.63
percent and tangible common equity ratio totaled 9.16 percent.
