FIRST MERCHANTS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR-END 2011 EARNINGS PER SHARE

First Merchants Corporation (NASDAQ – FRME) has reported fourth quarter 2011 earnings per share of $.24 compared to $.10 during the same period in 2010. The 140 percent improvement primarily reflects the Corporation’s improvement in revenue, credit quality and efficiency. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $6.4 million, an increase of $3.8 million over the $2.6 million earned in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Year-to-date earnings per share for 2011 totaled $.34 per fully diluted common share.  When adjusted for the one-time charge of $.46 per share related to CPP repayment during the third quarter, year-to-date core earnings per share totaled $.80.  On an adjusted basis earnings per share for the four quarters of 2011 totaled $.17, $.18, $.21 and $.24, respectively.

Michael C. Rechin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “2011 results included numerous positives as the company completed a solid year.  The improvement of the Corporation’s core earnings, capital levels, credit statistics, loan growth and efficiency provide important foundations for the future of First Merchants.”  Rechin also stated, “Achieving loan growth in the fourth quarter, while making additional improvements in asset quality, reflects the economic progress evidenced in our marketplace.”

Total assets equaled $4.2 billion as of year-end and total loans were $2.7 billion.  The Corporation’s liquidity is fully deployed in the bond portfolio, as investment securities totaled $946 million.  The Corporation’s loan-to-deposit ratio is now 87 percent and the loan-to-asset ratio totals 65 percent.

Net-interest income totaled $36.2 million for the quarter and $143.4 million for the year.  Net-interest margin remained strong during the quarter totaling 3.99 percent as yields on earning assets totaled 4.83 percent and the cost of supporting liabilities totaled .84 percent.  Net-interest margin for the year totaled 3.98 percent, up 11 basis points from 3.87 percent in 2010.

Non-interest income totaled $13.0 million for the quarter and $49.1 million for the full year of 2011.  After normalizing for bond gains and losses, non-interest income improved by $393,000 quarter-over-quarter and $399,000 year-over-year.  Non-interest expense totaled $33.4 million for the quarter, a decline of $4.8 million from the fourth quarter of 2010.  Non-interest expense totaled $135.9 million for the full year 2011, a decline of $6.4 million for the year.

Provision expense totaled $5.9 million for the fourth quarter and $22.6 million for the full year 2011, compared to $7.1 million and $46.5 million of provision expense in 2010.  The allowance for loan losses totaled $70.9 million, or 2.6 percent of total loans and 102 percent of non-accrual loans.  Non-performing assets (NPA) plus 90 days delinquent loans totaled $100.8 million, or 2.4 percent of total assets.  Net charge-offs totaled $8.0 million for the fourth quarter and $34.7 million for the year.  Net charge-offs totaled $55.6 million in 2010.  Classified loans also declined from $286.2 million to $205.2 million during the year.
