CINCINNATI, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- First Financial Bancorp. (Nasdaq: FFBC) ("First Financial" or the "Company") announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $51.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share. These results compare to net income of $41.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, First Financial had earnings per diluted share of $0.98 compared to $1.01 for the same period in 2021.
Return on average assets for the second quarter of 2022 was 1.28% while return on average tangible common equity was 20.68%(1). These compare to returns on average assets of 1.03% and return on average tangible common equity of 14.93%(1) in the first quarter of 2022.

Archie Brown, President and CEO, commented on the quarter, "I am extremely pleased with our performance in the second quarter. Earnings improved from the first quarter as our asset sensitive balance sheet was positively impacted by recent rate increases. In addition, credit quality was stable with lower net charge-offs and nonaccrual loan balances. This led to a small provision recapture for the quarter."
Mr. Brown continued, "We were encouraged by our strong fee income performance for the quarter. Total fee income surpassed our expectations due to record foreign exchange income, strong income from limited partnership investments and growing leasing business income. While second quarter mortgage banking income increased 35% from the linked quarter, we continue to experience headwinds due to the rapid rise in interest rates. In addition, recent overdraft program changes led to a modest reduction in deposit account service charges during the second quarter and we expect further decline due to these program changes in the coming periods."
Mr. Brown commented on loan growth, "We were very pleased with loan growth in the second quarter. Loans (excluding PPP) increased by $191 million, or 8.3%, on an annualized basis. Loan growth was broad based, with increases in the C&I, retail mortgage and consumer portfolios. This more than offset a decline in the ICRE portfolio, which was driven by elevated prepayments. In addition, we were also pleased with Summit's growth in the quarter, including operating leases, which increased $21 million, or 33.5%, during the period. Loan origination activity remains strong as we head into the third quarter."
Mr. Brown concluded, "I want to thank our associates for their excellent performance so far this year. As we head into the back half of the year, we are optimistic that our balance sheet is positioned to further benefit from additional rate increases and loan activity remains strong. We remain diligent in our credit monitoring and are prepared to manage a downturn in the economy should it occur later in the interest rate cycle."
