LANCASTER, Pa., April 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fulton Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:FULT) reported net income of $33.8 million, or 17 cents per diluted share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $31.5 million, or 16 cents per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in net income was due to a $2.0 million reduction in the provision for credit losses and a $5.5 million, or 5.1 percent, decrease in total other expenses. The favorable impact of these items was partially offset by a $1.3 million, or 0.9 percent, decrease in net interest income and a $2.6 million, or 5.3 percent, decrease in total other income.

"Improvement in our credit metrics, along with a number of other factors, enabled us to continue positive earnings momentum in the first quarter," said R. Scott Smith, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We saw reductions in our non-performing loans, charge-offs, overall loan delinquency and in the provision for credit losses, reflecting slowly improving economic conditions. Our strong liquidity position, resulting from steady core deposit inflows, positions us well for future earning asset growth when the demand for credit increases. Also contributing to our solid quarter was an expansion of our net interest margin along with a significant decrease in expenses. We are cautiously optimistic that we will continue to see reductions in our credit costs as the health of the economy improves."

Asset Quality

Non-performing assets were $355.1 million, or 2.22 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2011, compared to $361.7 million, or 2.22 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2010 and $312.3 million, or 1.90 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2010. The decrease in non-performing assets in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in non-performing construction and commercial loans, partially offset by an increase in non-performing commercial mortgages.

Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were 1.42 percent of average total loans, compared to 1.65 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 85.3 percent at March 31, 2011 in comparison to 83.8 percent at December 31, 2010 and 94.1 percent at March 31, 2010.

As a result of improved credit quality metrics in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2010, the provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2011 decreased $2.0 million, or 5.0 percent, to $38.0 million.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2011 decreased $1.3 million, or 0.9 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to fewer days in the first quarter as compared to the fourth quarter, partially offset by an increase in the net interest margin.

The Corporation's net interest margin improved to 3.91 percent in the first quarter of 2011, compared to 3.85 percent for fourth quarter of 2010. The improvement in net interest margin during the first quarter of 2011 was due to an 11 basis point decline in funding costs, partially offset by a three basis point decrease in yields on interest-earning assets.

Average Balance Sheet

Total average assets for the first quarter of 2011 were $16.1 billion, a decrease of $158.4 million, or 1.0 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2010.

Average loans, net of unearned income, decreased $23.5 million, or 0.2 percent, for the first quarter of 2011 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2010.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Corporation experienced a $44.0 million, or 0.5 percent, increase in commercial mortgage and commercial loans. This increase was more than offset by declines in construction loans, home equity loans and consumer loans.

Average investments for the first quarter of 2011 were $2.8 billion, a $65.9 million, or 2.4 percent, increase from the fourth quarter of 2010. On an ending balance basis, investments decreased $164.1 million, or 5.7 percent.

The decrease in deposits in the first quarter of 2011 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2010 was due to a $228.4 million, or 4.8 percent, decrease in time deposits, including a $40.7 million reduction in jumbo time deposits.

Non-interest Income

Other income, excluding investment securities gains, decreased $4.7 million, or 9.6 percent, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2010. Mortgage banking income decreased $3.4 million, or 38.3 percent, as a result of a decrease in volumes. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $786,000, due primarily to a decrease in overdraft fees.

Other-than-temporary impairment charges for debt and equity securities were related to the Corporation's investments in pooled trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and stocks of financial institutions, respectively.

Non-interest Expense

Other expenses decreased $5.5 million, or 5.1 percent, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to decreases in marketing expenses, OREO and repossession expense and salaries and employee benefits. Also contributing to the decrease in other expenses was a $900,000 reversal of reserves associated with potential repurchases of previously sold residential mortgages and home equity loans.
