FIRST MERCHANTS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES 1ST QUARTER EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $.17

First Merchants Corporation (NASDAQ – FRME) has reported a first quarter 2011 earnings per share totaling $.17 per fully diluted common share, a $.16 improvement from the first quarter of 2010.  Net income totaled $4,473,000 for the quarter, a $4.3 million improvement over the first quarter of 2010.

Michael C. Rechin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The fundamentals of our financial results, highlighted by strong net interest margin and expense management, generate solid core profitability.”  Rechin also stated, “The improvement in all credit related metrics and costs were meaningful in fueling the increased profits. Our Midwestern marketplace is participating in the broader recovery but has yet to exhibit strong overall loan demand. We are seeing more activity in small business and mortgage lending but little demand from our retail segment.”

Total assets were $4.1 billion as of quarter end and total loans were $2.8 billion as customer demand remains low.  The Corporation’s excess liquidity continues to create a larger bond portfolio as investment securities increased by $247 million or 39 percent compared to the same period last year.  The Corporation’s loan to deposit ratio is now 88 percent and the loan to asset ratio totals 67 percent.

As of March 31, 2011, the Corporation’s total risk-based capital equaled 15.66 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital totaled 13.05 percent, Tier 1 leverage ratio totaled 9.80 percent, and tangible common equity ratio totaled 6.16 percent.  All regulatory capital ratios exceed the regulatory definitions of “well capitalized”.

Non-performing assets (NPA) plus 90 days delinquent loans declined for the third quarter in a row totaling $108 million, or 2.61 percent of total assets.  The Corporation’s allowance for loan losses increased to 2.93 percent of total loans and the allowance coverage ratio to non-accrual loans totals 92 percent.  Net charge-offs for the quarter totaled $7.6 million and provision expense totaled $5.6 million.

Net-Interest margin expanded by 13 basis points over the first quarter of 2010, and remains strong at 3.95 percent as net interest income totaled $35.5 million.  Yields on earning assets declined by 28 basis points and the cost of supporting liabilities declined 41 basis points.

Non-interest income totaled $11.9 million for the quarter down from the first quarter of 2010 total of 13.0 million.  The decline can be attributed to a reduction in non-recurring bond portfolio activity totaling $1.3 million.

Total non-interest expense declined during the quarter to its lowest level in nine quarters totaling $33.9 million.  The $759,000 reduction was primarily the result of decreased salary and benefits expense of $386,000 and OREO and credit-related expenses, including related legal fees, of $466,000.
