MARIETTA, Ohio, Jan. 21,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Peoples Bancorp Inc. ("Peoples")
(NASDAQ: PEBO) today announced results for the quarter and year
ended December 31, 2024. Net income
totaled $26.9 million for the fourth
quarter of 2024, representing earnings per diluted common share of
$0.76. In comparison, Peoples
reported net income of $31.7 million,
representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.89, for the third quarter of 2024 and net
income of $33.8 million, representing
earnings per diluted common share of $0.96, for the fourth quarter of 2023. For the
full year, net income was $117.2
million in 2024 versus $113.4
million in 2023, representing earnings per diluted common
share of $3.31 and $3.44, respectively.
"2024 marked the third consecutive year of record net income for
Peoples," said Tyler Wilcox,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with our
accomplishments for the year and remain committed to our focus on
our clients, shareholders, and community in 2025."
Statement of Operations Highlights:
- Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024
decreased $2.4 million, or 3%, when
compared to the linked quarter driven by lower accretion
income.
- Net interest margin decreased to 4.15% for the fourth quarter
of 2024, compared to 4.27% for the linked quarter, driven by lower
accretion income.
- Accretion, net of amortization expense, contributed 23 basis
points to margin for the fourth quarter, down 16 basis points from
the 39 basis points of accretion, net of amortization expense,
recognized in the prior quarter.
- Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses of
$6.3 million for the fourth quarter
of 2024, compared to a provision for credit losses of $6.7 million for the third quarter of
2024.
- The provision for credit losses was driven by net charge-offs,
and negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by
$0.13 for the fourth quarter of 2024
and $0.15 for the third quarter of
2024.
- Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and
losses, increased $1.2 million, or
5%, for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the linked
quarter.
- The increase was the result of higher swap fee income driven by
customer demand.
- Total non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024
increased $4.4 million, or 7%,
compared to the linked quarter.
- The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 59.6%,
compared to 55.1% for the linked quarter.
Balance Sheet Highlights:
- Period-end total loan and lease balances at December 31, 2024 increased $86.2 million, or 5% annualized, compared to at
September 30, 2024.
- The increase was driven by growth in commercial and industrial
loans and residential real estate loans, partially offset by
decreases in other commercial real estate loans and leases.
- Asset quality metrics remained stable during the fourth
quarter of 2024.
- Criticized loans increased $3.7
million, or 1 basis point as a percent of total loans,
compared to September 30, 2024 driven
by loan downgrades.
- Classified loans decreased $4.4
million, or 9 basis points as a percent of total loans,
compared to the linked quarter, driven by paydowns and
upgrades.
- Period-end total deposit balances at December 31, 2024 increased $111.9 million, or 2%, compared to at
September 30, 2024.
- In addition to an increase in brokered certificates of deposit
of $59.1 million, core deposits were
up $52.9 million compared to the
linked quarter, driven by increases in non-interest bearing
accounts and retail certificates of deposits.
- Total loan balances were 84% of total deposit balances at
December 31, 2024 and at September 30, 2024.
Impact of the Limestone Merger:
As of the close of
business on April 30, 2023, Peoples
completed its previously announced merger with Limestone Bancorp,
Inc. ("Limestone"), a bank holding company headquartered in
Louisville, Kentucky, and the
parent company of Limestone Bank, pursuant to a definitive
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated
October 24, 2022. Under the terms of
the Merger Agreement, Limestone merged with and into Peoples, and
immediately thereafter Limestone Bank merged with and into Peoples'
wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank (collectively, the "Limestone
Merger"), in a transaction valued at $177.9
million. Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses,
primarily related to the Limestone Merger, which included
$1.1 million, $(0.9) million, and $(0.1)
million in other non-interest expense for the three months
ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the twelve
months ended December 31, 2024,
Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses of $0.2 million compared to $17.0 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2023.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was
$86.5 million for the fourth quarter
of 2024 and decreased $2.4 million
when compared to the linked quarter. Net interest margin was 4.15%
for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 4.27% for the linked
quarter. The decrease in net interest income and margin was
primarily driven by a decrease in accretion income, net of
amortization, from acquisitions, which more than offset the
reduction in funding costs during the quarter.
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased
$1.8 million, or 2%, compared to the
fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income
compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was driven by lower
accretion and higher funding costs. Net interest margin decreased
28 basis points when compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, driven
primarily by higher rates on deposits.
Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions
was $4.9 million for the fourth
quarter of 2024, $8.1 million for the
linked quarter and $9.3 million for
the fourth quarter of 2023, which added 23 basis points, 39 basis
points and 47 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin.
The decrease in accretion income for the fourth quarter of 2024
when compared to the linked quarter was primarily driven by fewer
loan and lease payoffs. The decrease in accretion income for the
current quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was a result
of less accretion from the Limestone merger.
For the full year of 2024, net interest income increased
$9.3 million, or 3%, compared to the
full year of 2023, while net interest margin decreased 34 basis
points to 4.21%. The increase in net interest income for the full
year of 2024 was driven by increases in market interest rates and
an additional four months of income from the Limestone Merger. The
decrease in net interest margin for the full year of 2024 compared
to the full year of 2023 was primarily driven by higher borrowing
costs, which offset higher earning asset yields.
Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions
was $25.2 million for the full year
ended December 31, 2024 and for the full year ended
December 31, 2023, which added 30 and 34 basis points,
respectively, to net interest margin.
Provision for Credit Losses:
The provision for credit
losses was $6.3 million for the
fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $6.7 million for the linked quarter and
$1.3 million for the fourth
quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses for each of the
fourth quarter and third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by
net charge-offs. The increase in the provision for credit losses
for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of
2023 was largely attributable to higher net charge-offs.
For the full year of 2024, the provision for credit losses was
$24.8 million, compared to a
provision for credit losses of $15.2 million for 2023. The provision for
credit losses during the full year of 2024 was mainly a result of
(i) higher net charge-offs, (ii) an increase in reserves for
individually analyzed loans and leases, (iii) economic forecast
deterioration and (iv) loan growth. The provision for credit losses
during the full year of 2023 was driven by (i) the addition of the
provision for the loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, (ii) loan
growth and (iii) an increase in charge-offs, partially offset by a
release of reserves on individually analyzed loans and the use of
updated loss drivers.
The provision for credit losses recorded represents the amount
needed to maintain the appropriate level of the allowance for
credit losses based on management's quarterly estimates. The
provision for credit losses negatively impacted earnings per
diluted common share by $0.13 for the
fourth quarter of 2024, $0.15 for the
third quarter of 2024, and $0.03 for
the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full year of 2024, the
provision negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by
$0.51, compared to $0.35 for the full year of 2023.
For additional information on net charge-offs, credit trends and
the allowance for credit losses, see the "Asset Quality" section
below.
Net Gains and Losses:
Net gains and losses include
gains and losses on investment securities, asset disposals and
other transactions, which are included in total non-interest income
on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The net loss for the
fourth quarter of 2024 was $1.7 million, compared to a net loss of
$0.9 million for the linked
quarter, and a net loss of $2.2
million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The net loss for the
fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by a $1.2 million write-down of an other real estate
owned ("OREO") property, which was acquired in a prior merger.
The net loss realized during the full year of 2024 was
$3.7 million, compared to a net
loss realized of $6.5 million
for the full year of 2023. The net loss for the full year of 2024
was primarily driven by $1.8 million
of net losses on repossessed assets and the aforementioned
write-down of an OREO property. The net loss recognized in the full
year of 2023 was primarily driven by a $3.6
million pre-tax ($2.9 million
after-tax) net loss on the disposition of available-for-sale
investment securities during the fourth quarter of 2023 and a
$1.6 million write-down of an OREO
property during the second quarter of 2023.
Total Non-interest Income, Excluding Net Gains and
Losses:
Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and
losses, for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $1.2 million compared to the linked quarter. The
increase in non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses,
was primarily impacted by increases of $1.0
million in swap fee income and $0.8
million in bank owned life insurance income ("BOLI"),
partially offset by a decrease of $0.9
million in mortgage banking income. Total non-interest
income, excluding net gains and losses, for the fourth quarter of
2024 was 24% of total revenue (defined as net interest income plus
total non-interest income excluding net gains and losses) compared
to 22% for the linked quarter.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, total non-interest
income, excluding net gains and losses, increased $0.5 million, primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in trust and investment
income and $0.6 million in other
non-interest income, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in electronic banking
income.
For the full year of 2024, total non-interest income, excluding
gains and losses, increased $9.1
million, or 10%, compared to the full year of 2023. The
increase was driven by (i) a $2.6 million increase in lease income,
primarily attributable to operating lease income, (ii) a
$2.4 million increase in trust and
investment income driven by an increase in assets under
administration and management, (iii) a $1.4
million increase in insurance income driven by higher
contingency income and market increases for premiums, (iv) a
$0.9 million increase in deposit
account service charge income, and (vi) a $0.7 million increase in mortgage banking income.
Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, for the
full year of 2024 was 23% of total revenue (defined as net interest
income plus total non-interest income excluding net gains and
losses) consistent with the full year of 2023.
Total Non-interest Expense:
Total non-interest expense
increased $4.4 million for the fourth
quarter of 2024, compared to the linked quarter. The increase in
total non-interest expense was primarily due to an increase of
$3.4 million in other non-interest
expense, driven primarily by an increase of $1.7 million in acquisition-related expenses, and
increases of $0.5 million in data
processing expense, $0.4 million in
professional fees, and $0.4 million
in salaries and employee benefit costs.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, total non-interest
expense increased $2.8 million, or
4%. The increase in total non-interest expense was primarily driven
by a $1.0 million acquisition-related
legal contingency accrued for in the fourth quarter of 2024 and an
increase of $0.6 million in each of
data processing expense and operating lease expense.
For the full year of 2024, total non-interest expense increased
$7.3 million, or 3%, compared to the
full year of 2023. Excluding acquisition-related expenses,
non-interest expenses increased $24.1
million, or 10%, primarily due to increases of $11.8 million in salaries and employee benefits
costs due to additional employees added in the Limestone Merger,
and $5.7 million and $2.9 million in data processing and software
expense and in net occupancy and equipment expense, respectively,
due to recent growth, including through acquisitions.
The table below summarizes the amount of acquisition-related
expenses for each line item that is a component of non-interest
expense. Acquisition-related expenses are considered a non-core
non-interest expense by Peoples. This information is used by
Peoples to provide information useful to investors in understanding
Peoples' operating performance and trends.

The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 59.6%,
compared to 55.1% for the linked quarter and 56.0% for the fourth
quarter of 2023. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items,
was 58.6% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 55.7% for the
linked quarter, and 54.9% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The
efficiency ratio and the adjusted for non-core items efficiency
ratio increased compared to the linked quarter mainly as the result
of lower revenue. The efficiency ratio and the adjusted for
non-core items efficiency ratio increased for the fourth quarter of
2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 due to higher
non-interest expense and lower revenue. The efficiency ratio
for the full year of 2024 was 58.0%, compared to 58.7% for the full
year of 2023. The efficiency ratio improved compared to the prior
year due to increased revenue. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for
non-core items, was 57.9% for the full year of 2024, compared to
54.4% for the full year of 2023. The increase in the efficiency
ratio, adjusted for non-core items, for the full year of 2024
compared to the full year of 2023 was due to higher non-interest
expense. Peoples continues to focus on controlling expenses,
while recognizing necessary costs in order to continue growing the
business.
Income Tax Expense:
Peoples recorded income tax expense of $7.9
million with an effective tax rate of 22.7% for the fourth
quarter of 2024, compared to income tax expense of $9.2 million with an effective tax rate of 22.5%
for the linked quarter and income tax expense of $9.7 million with an effective tax rate of 22.3%
for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in income tax expense
when compared to the prior quarter and to the fourth quarter of
2023 was primarily due to lower net income. Peoples recorded income
tax expense of $32.3 million with an
effective tax rate of 21.6% for the full year of 2024 and
$31.8 million with an effective tax
rate of 21.9% for the full year of 2023. Income tax expense was
positively impacted by a $1.1 million
one-time benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2024 related
to a prior year amended return.
Investment Securities and Liquidity:
Peoples'
investment portfolio primarily consists of available-for-sale
investment securities reported at fair value and held-to-maturity
investment securities reported at amortized cost. The
available-for-sale investment securities balance at
December 31, 2024 decreased $2.9
million when compared to at September 30, 2024, and
increased $35.2 million when compared
to at December 31, 2023. The balances of unrealized losses,
net of tax, on available-for-sale investment securities recognized
within accumulated other comprehensive loss were $111.8 million, $83.7
million, and $104.2 million at
December 31, 2024, at September 30, 2024, and at
December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase in accumulated
other comprehensive loss was the result of the changes in the
market value of available-for-sale investment securities during the
period. At December 31, 2024, Peoples' investment securities
represented approximately 20.7% of total assets, compared to 20.0%
at September 30, 2024, and 19.6% at
December 31, 2023.
The held-to-maturity investment securities balance at
December 31, 2024 increased $81.2
million when compared to at September
30, 2024 and $91.1 million
when compared to at December 31, 2023. The increase when
compared to the linked quarter and when compared to
December 31, 2023, was primarily driven by purchases of higher
yielding, longer duration securities booked as held-to-maturity.
The balances of net unrealized losses on held-to-maturity
investment securities were $82.9
million, $57.1 million, and
$71.6 million at December 31,
2024, at September 30, 2024, and at December 31, 2023,
respectively.
The effective duration of the investment portfolio as of
December 31, 2024 was approximately 5.87 years. The duration
of Peoples' investments is managed as part of its Asset Liability
Management program, and has the potential to impact both liquidity
and capital, as mismatches in duration may require a liquidation of
investment securities at market prices to meet funding needs. These
assets are one component of Peoples' liquidity profile.
Peoples maintains a number of liquid and liquefiable assets,
borrowing capacity, and other sources of liquidity to ensure the
availability of funds. At December 31, 2024, Peoples had
liquid and liquefiable assets totaling $857.1 million, which included (i) cash and cash
equivalents, (ii) unpledged government and agency investment
securities and (iii) unpledged non-agency investment securities
that could be liquidated. At December 31, 2024, Peoples had a
total borrowing capacity of $830.6
million available through the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB"), the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"), and federal funds.
Additionally, at December 31, 2024, Peoples had other
contingent sources of liquidity totaling $3.6 billion. Cash and cash equivalents decreased
$209.1 million when compared to
December 31, 2023 due to an
improvement in other inputs in our aforementioned liquidity
metrics, specifically unencumbered securities, driven by the
migration of deposit balances to IntraFi Cash Service accounts
("ICS"), freeing up investment securities previously held as
collateral against those balances, and requiring less cash to be
held on the balance sheet.
Loans and Leases:
The period-end total loan and lease
balances at December 31, 2024 increased $86.2 million, or 5% annualized, compared to at
September 30, 2024. The increase in the period-end total loan
and lease balances was primarily driven by increases of
$97.5 million in commercial and
industrial loans, partially offset by decreases of $26.4 million and $24.5
million in leases and other commercial real estate loans,
respectively.
The period-end total loan and lease balances at
December 31, 2024 increased $198.8
million compared to at December 31, 2023, primarily
driven by organic growth in our commercial and industrial, and
premium finance portfolios of $162.7
million and $66.3 million,
respectively.
Quarterly average total loan balances decreased $61.2 million compared to the linked quarter. The
decrease in average total loan balances when compared to the linked
quarter was primarily the result of decreases of (i) $15.1 million in other commercial real estate
loans, (ii) $11.9 million in leases,
(iii) $11.6 million in premium
finance loans, (iv) $11.0 million in
residential real estate loans, and (v) $10.5
million in consumer indirect loans.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, quarterly average loan
balances in the current quarter increased $147.0 million, or 2%. The increase was driven by
growth of (i) $114.8 million in
commercial and industrial loans, (ii) $87.3
million in premium finance loans, and (iii) $27.3 million in home equity lines of credit,
partially offset with a decrease of $62.3
million in construction loans.
Asset Quality:
Overall, asset quality remained
relatively stable through the fourth quarter of 2024. Delinquency
trends remained stable as loans considered current comprised 98.7%,
98.5%, and 98.6% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2024,
at September 30, 2024, and at December 31, 2023,
respectively. Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2024
decreased $20.8 million, or 30%,
compared to at September 30, 2024, and increased $9.6 million, or 24%, compared to at
December 31, 2023. The decrease in nonperforming assets
compared to the linked quarter was primarily driven by the
reduction in 90+ administrative delinquency on Vantage leases. The
increase in nonperforming assets compared to at December 31,
2023, was impacted by the increase of nonaccrual loans.
Nonperforming assets as a percent of total loans and OREO was 0.77%
at December 31, 2024, compared to 1.11% at September 30,
2024, and 0.64% at December 31, 2023.
Criticized loans, which are those categorized as special
mention, substandard or doubtful, increased $3.7 million, or 2%, compared to at September 30, 2024, and increased $6.1 million, or 3%, compared to at December 31, 2023. As a percent of total loans,
criticized loans were 3.80% at December 31,
2024, compared to 3.79% at September
30, 2024, and 3.82% at December 31,
2023. The increase in the amount of criticized loans
compared to at September 30, 2024 was
primarily driven by loan downgrades. Compared to at December 31, 2023, the increase in the amount of
criticized loans was primarily driven by loan downgrades.
Classified loans, which are those categorized as substandard or
doubtful, decreased $4.4 million, or
3%, compared to at September 30, 2024, and increased
$8.8 million, or 7%, compared to at
December 31, 2023. As a percent of total loans, classified
loans were 2.03% at December 31, 2024, compared to 2.12% at
September 30, 2024, and 1.95% at December 31, 2023. The
decrease in classified loans compared to at September 30, 2024
was primarily driven by paydowns and upgrades. The increase in
classified loans when compared to at December 31, 2023, was
primarily driven by loan and lease downgrades.
Annualized net charge-offs were 0.61% of average total loans for
the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 0.38% for the linked
quarter, and 0.23% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase
relative to the linked quarter was driven by an increase in
charge-offs on leases originated by our North Star Leasing
business. The increase in net charge-offs during the fourth quarter
of 2024 versus the prior year fourth quarter was primarily
attributable to an increase in charge-offs on leases originated by
our North Star Leasing business.
At December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses
decreased $3.3 million when
compared to September 30, 2024, and increased
$1.3 million when compared to at
December 31, 2023. The decrease in the allowance for credit
losses at December 31, 2024 when compared to at
September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in reserves
for individually analyzed loans and leases. The increase in the
allowance balance at December 31, 2024 when compared to
December 31, 2023 was driven by an increase in reserves for
individually analyzed loans and leases, as well as loan growth. The
ratio of the allowance for credit losses as a percent of total
loans was 1.00% at December 31, 2024, compared to 1.06% at
September 30, 2024, and 1.01% at December 31, 2023. The
ratio of allowance for credit losses as a percentage of
non-performing loans increased to 148.13% at December 31, 2024 compared to 106.82% at
September 30, 2024, and decreased
compared to 192.62% at December 31,
2023.
Deposits:
As of December 31, 2024, period-end
total deposits increased $111.9
million compared to at September 30, 2024. The increase
was primarily driven by increases of (i) $59.1 million in brokered certificates of
deposit, (ii) $54.2 million in
non-interest bearing deposits, and (iii) $37.3 million in retail certificates of deposit,
partially offset by a decrease of $48.4 million in governmental deposit accounts.
The increase in retail certificates of deposits was due to current
specials being offered, while the decrease in governmental deposit
accounts was due to the seasonality of those balances. The increase
in brokered deposit accounts was due to the lower-cost of funding
available compared to Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances.
Compared to December 31, 2023, period-end deposit balances
increased $442.8 million, or 6%. The
increase was primarily driven by increases of $478.0 million in retail certificates of deposit,
$107.6 million in money market
deposit accounts, and $49.1 million
in governmental deposit accounts, offset by decreases of
$60.0 million, $59.2 million, $52.3
million, and $20.5 million in
non-interest bearing deposits, interest-bearing demand accounts,
savings accounts, and brokered certificates of deposit,
respectively. The increase in retail certificates of deposits was
driven by special promotional rate offerings over the past
year.
The percentages of retail deposit balances and commercial
deposit balances of the total deposit balance were 79% and 21%,
respectively, at December 31, 2024, and at September 30,
2024, and were 80% and 20%, respectively, at December 31,
2023.
Uninsured deposits were 26%, 27%, and 27% of total deposits at
December 31, 2024, at September 30, 2024, and at
December 31, 2023, respectively. Uninsured amounts are
estimated based on the portion of customer account balances that
exceeded the FDIC limit of $250,000.
Peoples pledges investment securities against certain governmental
deposit accounts, which collateralized $656.9 million, or 33%, $714.1 million, or 36%, and $788.7 million, or 40%, of the uninsured
deposit balances at December 31, 2024, at September 30,
2024, and at December 31, 2023, respectively.
Average deposit balances during the fourth quarter of 2024
increased $211.4 million, or 3%, when
compared to the linked quarter, and increased $509.3 million, or 7%, when compared to the
fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in average deposit balances
compared to the linked quarter was driven by increases of
$98.9 million in brokered
certificates of deposits, $48.4
million in non-interest bearing deposits, $39.0 million in retail certificates of deposits,
and $38.3 million in money market
accounts partially offset by decreases of $13.3 million in governmental deposits and
$8.7 million in savings account
deposits. Total demand deposit accounts comprised 34%, 34%, and 38%
of total deposits at December 31, 2024, at September 30,
2024 and at December 31, 2023, respectively.
Stockholders' Equity:
Total stockholders' equity at
December 31, 2024 decreased $13.4
million, or 1%, compared to at September 30, 2024. This
change was primarily driven by an increase of $27.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive
loss during the quarter and dividends paid of $14.2 million, partially offset by net income of
$26.9 million. The increase in
accumulated other comprehensive loss was the result of the changes
in the market value of available-for-sale investment securities
during the period.
Total stockholders' equity at December 31, 2024 increased
$58.1 million, or 6%, compared to at
December 31, 2023, which was due to net income of $117.2 million in the full year and a decrease in
other comprehensive loss of $8.8
million, partially offset by dividends paid of $56.3 million.
At December 31, 2024, the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
was 12.40%, compared to 12.59% at September 30, 2024, and
12.37% at December 31, 2023. The common equity tier 1
risk-based capital ratio was 11.96% at December 31, 2024,
compared to 11.80% at September 30, 2024, and 11.56% at
December 31, 2023. The total risk-based capital ratio was
13.59% at December 31, 2024, compared to 13.49% at
September 30, 2024, and 13.17% at December 31, 2023.
Peoples adopted the five-year transition to phase in the impact of
the adoption of the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model
(accounting standard) on regulatory capital ratios. Compared to at
September 30, 2024, and at December 31, 2023, total
risk-based capital ratio improved due to net income during the
fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by dividends paid.
At December 31, 2024, book value
per common share and tangible book value per common share, which
excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, were $31.26 and $19.94,
respectively, compared to $31.65 and
$20.29, respectively, at September 30, 2024, and $29.83 and $18.16,
respectively, at December 31, 2023.
The ratio of total stockholders' equity to total assets decreased
31 basis points when compared to September
30, 2024. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio,
which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, decreased 24
basis points when compared to at September
30, 2024. Compared to at December 31,
2023, the total stockholders' equity to total assets ratio
increased from 11.50% to 12.01%, and the tangible equity to
tangible assets ratio increased from 7.33% to 8.01%.

Use of Non-US GAAP Financial Measures:
This news release contains financial information and performance
measures determined by methods other than those in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
Management uses these "non-US GAAP" financial measures in its
analysis of Peoples' performance and the efficiency of its
operations. Management believes that these non-US GAAP financial
measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and
enhance comparability of results with prior periods and peers.
These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for financial
measures determined in accordance with US GAAP, nor are they
necessarily comparable to non-US GAAP performance measures that may
be presented by other companies. Below is a listing of the non-US
GAAP financial measures used in this news release:
- Core non-interest expense is a non-US GAAP financial measure
since it excludes the impact of acquisition-related expenses and
the COVID-19 employee retention credit.
- The efficiency ratio is calculated as total non-interest
expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a
percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus total
non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses. This ratio is
a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes amortization of
other intangible assets and all gains and losses included in
earnings, and uses fully tax-equivalent net interest income.
- The efficiency ratio adjusted for non-core items is calculated
as core non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible
assets) as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income
plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses.
This ratio is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the
impact of acquisition-related expenses, the COVID-19 employee
retention credit, and the amortization of other intangible assets
and all gains and losses included in earnings, and uses fully
tax-equivalent net interest income.
- Tangible assets, tangible equity, the tangible equity to
tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per common share are
non-US GAAP financial measures since they exclude the impact of
goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions
on both total stockholders' equity and total assets.
- Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, is a
non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes all gains and
losses included in earnings.
- Pre-provision net revenue is defined as net interest income
plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses,
minus total non-interest expense. This measure is a non-US GAAP
financial measure since it excludes the provision for (recovery of)
credit losses and all gains and losses included in net income.
- Return on average assets adjusted for non-core items is
calculated as annualized net income (less the after-tax impact of
all gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, and COVID-19
employee retention credit) divided by average assets. This measure
is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the after-tax
impact of all gains and losses and acquisition-related
expenses.
- Return on average tangible equity is calculated as annualized
net income (less the after-tax impact of amortization of other
intangible assets) divided by average tangible equity. This measure
is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the after-tax
impact of amortization of other intangible assets from net income
and the impact of average goodwill and other average intangible
assets acquired through acquisitions on average stockholders'
equity.
A reconciliation of these non-US GAAP financial measures to the
most directly comparable US GAAP financial measures is included at
the end of this news release under the caption of "Non-US GAAP
Financial Measures (Unaudited)."
