GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $44.6 million, or $0.44 per share, compared to $37.5 million, or $0.37 per share in the first quarter of 2026, and $33.4 million, or $0.32 per share for the second quarter of 2025.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (FTE) of $112.8 million increased $3.5 million from the previous quarter and increased $6.2 million from the prior year quarter. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to a nine basis point expansion in the net interest margin and one additional day in the quarter, which more than offset a $28.1 million decrease in average interest earning assets.
The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.01%, an increase of nine basis points from the previous quarter and an increase of 18 basis points from the second quarter of 2025. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to a five basis point decrease in the cost of deposits combined with an improved mix of deposits. The net interest margin benefitted further by a four basis points increase in the yield on loans and 15 basis point increase in the yield on securities. The total cost of funds was 1.79% in the second quarter of 2026, which represents a decrease of seven basis points from the previous quarter.
Total average deposits grew $52.3 million, or 2.0% annualized, in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the previous quarter. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits grew $76.2 million, average noninterest-bearing deposits grew $27.4 million and average time deposits decreased $51.3 million from the previous quarter.
Total average loans declined $106.3 million, or 4.5% annualized, in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the previous quarter.
Asset Quality
Provision expense in the second quarter of 2026 totaled $8.9 million as compared to $10.7 million in the previous quarter. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in reserves for individually analyzed commercial credits in the prior quarter.
The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of end-of-period loans in the second quarter of 2026 was 1.35% as compared to 1.37% in the previous quarter.
At June 30, 2026, nonperforming loans totaled $81.6 million, a decrease of $10.7 million from the previous quarter. The decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily due to the resolution of six commercial credits with an aggregate balance of $6.9 million.

                                                
Nonperforming loans represented 0.86% of total loans for the period ended June 30, 2026 as compared to 0.98% and 1.04% for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2026, net charge-offs were $11.4 million as compared to $8.2 million in the previous quarter and $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to the aforementioned resolution of six commercial credits with an aggregate balance of $6.9 million.
Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans (annualized) were 0.49%, 0.35% and 0.12% for the periods ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income (excluding securities gains of $0.3 million in 2Q26 and $0.2 million in 1Q26) totaled $26.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $24.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $24.7 million for the second quarter of 2025.
The $2.3 million increase in noninterest income from the previous quarter was primarily due to a $0.8 million gain on the early redemption of sub debt, a $0.3 million increase in income from Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI), a $0.03 million increase in other revenue due to $0.3 million in limited partnership gains, and a $0.3 million increase in card related interchange income, all of which was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in gain on sale of other loans due to a $0.4 million gain on the sale of a loan pool in the prior quarter.
Noninterest expense (excluding merger-related expense of $0.1 million in 2Q26, $0.1 million in 1Q26 and $4.0 million in 2Q25) was $74.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $75.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $72.3 million in the second quarter of 2025.
The $1.3 million decrease in noninterest expense from the previous quarter was driven by a $0.6 million decrease in furniture and equipment expense due to a $0.4 million rebate received from a third-party vendor, a $0.5 million decrease in occupancy due to a $0.7 million decrease in snow removal costs, a $0.5 million decrease in loss on sale of other assets due to a $0.5 million prepayment penalty on long-term Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) debt in the previous quarter and a $0.4 million decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance due to a lower assessment rate. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $0.5 million increase in other professional fees.
The core efficiency ratio was 52.2% during the second quarter of 2026 as compared to 55.4% in the previous quarter and 54.1% in the second quarter of 2025.
Full time equivalent staff was 1,589, 1,592 and 1,562 at June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

First Commonwealth Financial Corporation declared a common stock quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share, which represents a 3.7% increase from the second quarter of 2025. The cash dividend is payable on August 21, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2026. This dividend represents a 2.7% projected annual yield utilizing the July 27, 2026 closing market price of $20.87.
First Commonwealth’s capital ratios for Total, Tier I, Leverage and Common Equity Tier I at June 30, 2026 were 15.1%, 13.4%, 11.1% and 12.6%, respectively. First Commonwealth’s current capital levels exceed the fully phased-in Basel III capital requirements issued by U.S. bank regulators.

(a) Deposits on the above balance sheet for March 31, 2025 reflect a reclassification to interest-bearing deposits from savings deposits in order to remove the impact of an internal sweep program related to regulatory reserve requirements. The internal sweep program was terminated in the second quarter of 2025, therefore prior periods are now shown without the reclassification.

DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
Note: Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present these non-GAAP measures. These measures provide useful information to management and investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons.
(1) Net interest income has been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("FTE") using the federal income tax statutory rate of 21%.
(2) Core efficiency ratio excludes from total revenue the impact of derivative mark-to-market and excludes from "total noninterest expense" the amortization of intangibles and any other unusual items deemed by management to not be related to normal operations, such as merger, acquisition and severance costs.
(3) Includes held for sale loans.
(4) Excludes held for sale loans.
