Insights
Solid year-over-year growth, softer quarter-on-quarter, with strong capital and a higher dividend.
First Commonwealth delivered Q1 2026 net income of $37.5M and diluted EPS of $0.37. That is lower than Q4 2025’s $44.9M and $0.43 per share, but above Q1 2025’s $32.7M and $0.32. Core results closely tracked GAAP earnings, indicating limited unusual items.
Net interest income (FTE) was $109.3M, with a net interest margin of 3.92%, down modestly from 3.98% in Q4 2025 but well above 3.62% in Q1 2025. Average deposits and end-of-period deposits both increased, while loans declined slightly, reflecting muted organic loan growth and portfolio sales.
Credit costs rose: provision for credit losses increased to $10.7M, and nonperforming loans reached $92.3M, or 0.98% of total loans, up from prior periods. However, the allowance covered 141.70% of nonperforming loans and capital ratios remained strong, with a Bank-level Total Capital Ratio of 13.8% and consolidated Total Capital of 14.9%. The board authorized a 3.7% dividend increase to $0.14 per share and the company repurchased 1,284,457 shares in Q1 2026.

6 terms
net interest margin (NIM) financial
"The NIM for the first quarter of 2026 was 3.92% as compared to 3.98% in the prior quarter and 3.62% in the year ago quarter."
Net interest margin (NIM) measures how much profit a bank or lending business makes from its core activity of borrowing and lending: it’s the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid to depositors and lenders, expressed as a percentage of the assets that earn interest. Think of it like a store’s markup on goods — a higher NIM means the lender keeps more on each dollar it intermediates, so investors use it to judge profitability and sensitivity to interest-rate changes.
provision for credit losses financial
"Provision for credit losses totaled $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $7.0 million in the previous quarter."
Provision for credit losses is an amount set aside by a financial institution to cover potential future losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution manage risks and stay financially healthy. For investors, it signals how cautious a lender is about potential loan defaults and can impact the company's profitability and financial stability.
nonperforming loans financial
"At March 31, 2026, nonperforming loans totaled $92.3 million as compared to $91.8 million in the prior quarter and $59.4 million in the first quarter of 2025."
Nonperforming loans are loans on which borrowers have stopped making the scheduled interest or principal payments for an extended period (commonly 90 days or more) or are otherwise in serious danger of default. Think of them as IOUs that aren’t being repaid: they tie up a lender’s money, reduce future interest income, and force the lender to hold extra reserves or take losses. For investors, a rising share of nonperforming loans signals weakening credit quality, higher potential losses, and greater risk to a bank’s profitability and capital.
tangible common equity financial
"Tangible common equity as a percent of tangible assets (12) | 9.72 % | 9.66 % | 9.33 %"
Tangible common equity is the portion of a company’s net worth that belongs to ordinary shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill or patents) and any preferred claims; it’s often expressed on a per-share basis. Think of it as the hard, sellable value left for common owners if you removed non-physical assets and paid off debts—investors use it to judge how much real cushion a company has and whether the stock might be under- or over-valued.
core pre-tax pre-provision net revenue financial
"Core pre-tax pre-provision net revenue (PPNR)(1) totaled $57.9 million, a decrease of $5.3 million from the prior quarter and an increase of $11.0 million from the first quarter of 2025."
Core pre-tax pre-provision net revenue is a bank or financial firm's operating income from normal activities before taking out taxes and before setting aside reserves for potential loan losses, and after removing one-off or non-core items. Investors use it like a store’s sales figure before allocating money for expected returns and taxes — it shows the underlying earning power of the business without accounting for credit loss reserves or tax effects, helping compare performance across periods.
allowance for credit losses (ACL) financial
"Reserve build/(release)(2) was $3.4 million, which resulted in reserves to total loans of 1.37%, which is an increase of 5 basis points from the previous quarter."
Allowance for credit losses (ACL) is an accounting reserve banks and lenders set aside to cover loans and other receivables that may not be repaid. Think of it as a cushion or rainy-day fund that reduces reported assets to reflect expected losses; when the cushion grows, it can signal rising borrower trouble or more conservative accounting, and when it shrinks, it may boost reported profits and capital. Investors watch ACL to judge a lender’s risk exposure, earnings quality, and capital strength.

Earnings
Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $37.5 million, or $0.37 per share, compared to $44.9 million, or $0.43 per share in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $32.7 million, or $0.32 per share for the first quarter of 2025.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (FTE) of $109.3 million decreased $4.2 million from the previous quarter and increased $13.5 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $2.6 million decrease due to less days in the quarter, a $170.1 million decrease in average loans and compression of the net interest margin (NIM).
The NIM for the first quarter of 2026 was 3.92% as compared to 3.98% in the prior quarter and 3.62% in the year ago quarter. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to a nine basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets that was only partially offset by a 5 basis point decrease in the cost of funds.
Total average deposits grew $67.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the previous quarter. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits grew $91.2 million and average total time deposits increased $13.6 million from the prior quarter. The increase in interest bearing deposits was partially offset by a $37.7 million decrease in average noninterest-bearing deposits.
End of period deposits increased $158.9 million, or 6.3% annualized from the previous quarter, including a $161.0 million increase in savings deposits and a $40.0 million increase in interest-bearing demand deposits, which together offset a $39.5 million decrease in time deposits and a $2.6 million decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.
Asset Quality
Provision for credit losses totaled $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $7.0 million in the previous quarter. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily driven by a $4.2 million increase in reserves for individually analyzed commercial credits due to $9.6 million of reserves for three commercial credits that were moved to nonaccrual during the quarter.
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) as a percentage of end-of-period loans was 1.37% in the first quarter, which was an increase of 5 basis points from the previous quarter.
At March 31, 2026, nonperforming loans totaled $92.3 million as compared to $91.8 million in the prior quarter and $59.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, two individually analyzed nonaccrual commercial credits with an outstanding balance of $5.6 million with associated reserves of $3.3 million were sold or paid off. This resulted in an additional chargeoff of $0.1 million in April 2026.
Nonperforming loans represented 0.98% of total loans as of March 31, 2026, as compared to 0.94% and 0.65% for the periods ended December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.
At March 31, 2026, criticized loans totaled $284.6 million, an increase of $17.5 million from the previous quarter.
During the first quarter of 2026, net charge-offs were $8.2 million, compared to $11.3 million in the prior quarter and $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Net charge-offs were 0.35%, 0.46% and 0.14% of average loans (annualized) for the periods ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income (excluding security gains of $0.2 million in 1Q26 and $0.4 million in 4Q25) of $24.4 million increased $0.1 million from the previous quarter and increased $1.9 million from the first quarter of 2025
The $0.1 million increase from the previous quarter was primarily driven by a $0.4 million increase in insurance and retail brokerage revenue and a $0.3 million increase in gain on sale of mortgage loans, which was partially offset by $0.3 million decrease in card-related interchange income and a $0.3 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts due to seasonally lower transaction volume and the number of days in the quarter.
Noninterest expense (excluding merger-related expense of $0.1 million in 1Q26 and $0.2 million in 4Q25 and $0.1 million in 1Q25) of $75.5 million increased $1.2 million from the previous quarter and increased $4.3 million from the first quarter of 2025. The $1.2 million increase from the previous quarter was primarily the result of a $0.8 million increase in Pennsylvania shares tax expense due to a tax reimbursement in the previous quarter, a $0.6 million increase in salaries and benefits, a $0.6 million increase in occupancy expense due to a $0.6 million increase in snow removal expense and a $0.3 million increase in the loss on sale or writedown of assets due to a $0.5 million prepayment penalty on the early extinguishment of FHLB borrowings. Partially offsetting these increases was a $0.4 million decrease in other professional fees and a $0.3 million decrease in other operating expenses due to a $0.3 million decrease in travel expenses.
The core efficiency ratio was 55.43% during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to 52.84% in the previous quarter and 59.08% in the first quarter of 2025.
Full time equivalent staff was 1,592, 1,567 and 1,538 at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 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 previous quarter. The cash dividend is payable on May 22, 2026 to shareholders of record as of May 8, 2026.

(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.
