Forward-Looking Statements: From time to time F.N.B.
Corporation (the Corporation) has made and may continue to make
written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to the
Corporation’s outlook or expectations for earnings,
revenues, expenses, capital levels, asset quality or other
future financial or business performance, strategies or
expectations, or the impact of legal, regulatory or supervisory
matters on the Corporation’s business operations or
performance. This Annual Report on
Form 10-K
(the Report) also includes forward-looking statements. See
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information in
Item 7 of this Report.
The Corporation was formed in 1974 as a bank holding company.
During 2000, the Corporation elected to become and remains a
financial holding company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of
1999 (GLB Act). The Corporation has four reportable business
segments: Community Banking, Wealth Management, Insurance and
Consumer Finance. As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation
had 223 Community Banking offices in Pennsylvania and Ohio and
62 Consumer Finance offices in those states as well as Tennessee
and Kentucky.
The Corporation, through its subsidiaries, provides a full range
of financial services, principally to consumers and small- to
medium-sized businesses in its market areas. The
Corporation’s business strategy focuses primarily on
providing quality, community-based financial services adapted to
the needs of each of the markets it serves. The Corporation
seeks to maintain its community orientation by providing local
management with certain autonomy in decision-making, enabling
them to respond to customer requests more quickly and to
concentrate on transactions within their market areas. However,
while the Corporation seeks to preserve some decision-making at
a local level, it has centralized legal, loan review and
underwriting, accounting, investment, audit, loan operations and
data processing functions. The centralization of these processes
enables the Corporation to maintain consistent quality of these
functions and to achieve certain economies of scale.
As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation had total assets
of $9.0 billion, loans of $6.1 billion and deposits of
$6.6 billion. See Item 7, “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations,” and Item 8, “Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data,” of this Report.
On January 9, 2009, the Corporation received a
$100.0 million investment as part of its voluntary
participation in the United States Treasury Department’s
(UST) Capital Purchase Program (CPP) implemented pursuant to the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) enacted on
October 3, 2008.
On June 16, 2009, the Corporation completed a public
offering of 24,150,000 shares of common stock at a price of
$5.50 per share, including 3,150,000 shares of common stock
purchased by the underwriters pursuant to an over-allotment
option, which the underwriters exercised in full. The net
proceeds of the offering after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and offering expenses were $125.8 million.
On September 9, 2009, the Corporation utilized a portion of
the proceeds of its June 16, 2009 public offering to redeem
all of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock,
Series C (Series C Preferred Stock) issued to the UST
under the CPP implemented pursuant to the EESA. The Corporation
paid $100.3 million to the UST to redeem the Series C
Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation in connection with its
participation in the CPP. This amount includes the original
investment amount of $100.0 million plus accrued unpaid
dividends of approximately $0.3 million. In addition, as a
condition of its participation in the CPP, the Corporation
issued to the UST a warrant to purchase up to
1,302,083 shares of the Corporation’s common stock.
However, under the terms of the CPP, the Corporation’s
June 16, 2009 public offering automatically reduced the
number of the Corporation’s shares of common stock subject
to the warrant by one-half to 651,042 shares. The warrant
remains outstanding and has an exercise price of $11.52 per
share.
Business
Segments
In addition to the following information relating to the
Corporation’s business segments, information is contained
in the Business Segments footnote in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, which is included in Item 8 of this
Report. As of December 31, 2010, the Community Banking
segment consisted of a regional community bank. The Wealth
Management segment, as of that date, consisted of a trust
company, a registered investment advisor and a subsidiary that
offered broker-dealer services through a third party networking
arrangement with a non-affiliated licensed broker-dealer entity.
The Insurance segment consisted of an insurance agency and a
reinsurer as of that date. The Consumer Finance segment
consisted of a multi-state consumer finance company as of that
date.
Community
Banking
The Corporation’s Community Banking segment consists of
First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNBPA), which offers
services traditionally offered by full-service commercial banks,
including commercial and individual demand, savings and time
deposit accounts and commercial, mortgage and individual
installment loans.
The goals of Community Banking are to generate high quality,
profitable revenue growth through increased business with its
current customers, attract new customer relationships through
FNBPA’s current branches and expand into new and existing
markets through de novo branch openings, acquisitions and the
establishment of loan production offices. Consistent with this
strategy, on January 1, 2011, the Corporation completed its
acquisition of Comm Bancorp, Inc (CBI) and during 2008, the
Corporation completed acquisitions of Iron and Glass Bancorp,
Inc. (IRGB) and Omega Financial Corporation (Omega). For
information pertaining to these acquisitions, see the Mergers
and Acquisitions footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which is included in Item 8 of this Report. In
addition, the Corporation considers Community Banking a
fundamental source of revenue opportunity through the
cross-selling of products and services offered by the
Corporation’s other business segments.
As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation operates its
Community Banking business through a network of 223 branches in
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Community Banking also has two commercial
loan offices in Florida with the primary focus of managing the
Florida loan portfolio originated in prior years.
The lending philosophy of Community Banking is to establish high
quality customer relationships while minimizing credit losses by
following strict credit approval standards (which include
independent analysis of realizable collateral value),
diversifying its loan portfolio by industry and borrower and
conducting ongoing review and management of the loan portfolio.
Commercial loans are generally made to established businesses
within the geographic market areas served by Community Banking.
No material portion of the loans or deposits of Community
Banking has been obtained from a single customer or small group
of customers, and the loss of any one customer’s loans or
deposits or a small group of customers’ loans or deposits
by Community Banking would not have a material adverse effect on
the Community Banking segment or on the Corporation. The
substantial majority of the loans and deposits have been
generated within the geographic market areas in which Community
Banking operates.
Wealth
Management
The Corporation’s Wealth Management segment delivers
comprehensive wealth management services to individuals,
corporations and retirement funds, as well as existing customers
of Community Banking, located primarily within the
Corporation’s geographic markets.
The Corporation’s Wealth Management operations are
conducted through three subsidiaries of FNBPA. First National
Trust Company (FNTC), provides a broad range of personal
and corporate fiduciary services,
including the administration of decedent and trust estates. As
of December 31, 2010, the fair value of trust assets under
management was approximately $2.3 billion. FNTC is required
to maintain certain minimum capitalization levels in accordance
with regulatory requirements. FNTC periodically measures its
capital position to ensure all minimum capitalization levels are
maintained.
The Corporation’s Wealth Management segment also includes
two other subsidiaries. First National Investment Services
Company, LLC offers a broad array of investment products and
services for customers of Wealth Management through a networking
relationship with a third-party licensed brokerage firm. F.N.B.
Investment Advisors, Inc. (Investment Advisors), an investment
advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), offers customers of Wealth Management comprehensive
investment programs featuring mutual funds, annuities, stocks
and bonds.
No material portion of the business of Wealth Management has
been obtained from a single customer or small group of
customers, and the loss of any one customer’s business or
the business of a small group of customers by Wealth Management
would not have a material adverse effect on the Wealth
Management segment or on the Corporation.
Insurance
The Corporation’s Insurance segment operates principally
through First National Insurance Agency, LLC (FNIA), which is a
subsidiary of the Corporation. FNIA is a full-service insurance
brokerage agency offering numerous lines of commercial and
personal insurance through major carriers to businesses and
individuals primarily within the Corporation’s geographic
markets. The goal of FNIA is to grow revenue through
cross-selling to existing clients of Community Banking and to
gain new clients through its own channels.
The Corporation’s Insurance segment also includes a
reinsurance subsidiary, Penn-Ohio Life Insurance Company
(Penn-Ohio). Penn-Ohio underwrites, as a reinsurer, credit life
and accident and health insurance sold by the Corporation’s
lending subsidiaries. Additionally, FNBPA owns a direct
subsidiary, First National Corporation, which offers title
insurance products.
No material portion of the business of Insurance has been
obtained from a single customer or small group of customers, and
the loss of any one customer’s business or the business of
a small group of customers by Insurance would not have a
material adverse effect on the Insurance segment or on the
Corporation.
Consumer
Finance
The Corporation’s Consumer Finance segment operates through
its subsidiary, Regency Finance Company (Regency), which is
involved principally in making personal installment loans to
individuals and purchasing installment sales finance contracts
from retail merchants. Such activity is primarily funded through
the sale of the Corporation’s subordinated notes at
Regency’s branch offices. The Consumer Finance segment
operates in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky.
No material portion of the business of Consumer Finance has been
obtained from a single customer or small group of customers, and
the loss of any one customer’s business or the business of
a small group of customers by Consumer Finance would not have a
material adverse effect on the Consumer Finance segment or on
the Corporation.
Other
The Corporation also has seven other subsidiaries. F.N.B.
Statutory Trust I, F.N.B. Statutory Trust II, Omega
Financial Capital Trust I and Sun Bancorp Statutory
Trust I issue trust preferred securities (TPS) to
third-party investors. Regency Consumer Financial Services, Inc.
and FNB Consumer Financial Services, Inc. are the general
partner and limited partner, respectively, of FNB Financial
Services, LP, a company established to issue,
administer and repay the subordinated notes through which loans
in the Consumer Finance segment are funded. F.N.B. Capital
Corporation, LLC (FNBCC), a merchant banking subsidiary, offers
mezzanine financing options for small- to medium-sized
businesses that need financial assistance beyond the parameters
of typical commercial bank lending products. Additionally, Bank
Capital Services, LLC, a subsidiary of FNBPA, offers commercial
leasing services to customers in need of new or used equipment.
Certain financial information concerning these subsidiaries,
along with the parent company and intercompany eliminations, are
included in the “Parent and Other” category in the
Business Segments footnote in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, which is included in Item 8 of this
Report.
Market
Area and Competition
The Corporation primarily operates in Pennsylvania and
northeastern Ohio. This area is served by several major
interstate highways and is located at the approximate midpoint
between New York City and Chicago. The primary market area
served by the Corporation also extends to the Great Lakes
shipping port of Erie, the Pennsylvania state capital of
Harrisburg and the Pittsburgh International Airport. The
Corporation also has two commercial loan offices in Florida. In
addition to Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Corporation’s
Consumer Finance segment also operates in northern and central
Tennessee and western and central Kentucky.
The Corporation’s subsidiaries compete for deposits, loans
and financial services business with a large number of other
financial institutions, such as commercial banks, savings banks,
savings and loan associations, credit life insurance companies,
mortgage banking companies, consumer finance companies, credit
unions and commercial finance and leasing companies, many of
which have greater resources than the Corporation. In providing
wealth and asset management services, as well as insurance
brokerage and merchant banking products and services, the
Corporation’s subsidiaries compete with many other
financial services firms, brokerage firms, mutual fund
complexes, investment management firms, merchant and investment
banking firms, trust and fiduciary service providers and
insurance agencies.
In Regency’s market areas of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee
and Kentucky, its active competitors include banks, credit
unions and national, regional and local consumer finance
companies, some of which have substantially greater resources
than that of Regency. The ready availability of consumer credit
through charge accounts and credit cards constitutes additional
competition. In this market area, competition is based on the
rates of interest charged for loans, the rates of interest paid
to obtain funds and the availability of customer services.
The ability to access and use technology is an increasingly
important competitive factor in the financial services industry.
Technology is not only important with respect to delivery of
financial services and protecting the security of customer
information, but also in processing information. The Corporation
and each of its subsidiaries must continually make technological
investments to remain competitive in the financial services
industry.
Mergers
and Acquisitions
See the Mergers and Acquisitions footnote in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included in
Item 8 of this Report.
Employees
As of January 31, 2011, the Corporation and its
subsidiaries had 2,241 full-time and 477 part-time
employees. Management of the Corporation considers its
relationship with its employees to be satisfactory.
Government
Supervision and Regulation
The following summary sets forth certain of the material
elements of the regulatory framework applicable to bank holding
companies and financial holding companies and their subsidiaries
and to companies engaged in securities and insurance activities
and provides certain specific information about the Corporation.
The bank
regulatory framework is intended primarily for the protection of
depositors through the federal deposit insurance guarantee, and
not for the protection of security holders. Numerous laws and
regulations govern the operations of financial services
institutions and their holding companies. To the extent that the
following information describes statutory and regulatory
provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by express reference
to each of the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. A
change in applicable statutes, regulations or regulatory policy
may have a material effect on the business of the Corporation.
Many aspects of the Corporation’s business are subject to
rigorous regulation by the U.S. federal and state
regulatory agencies and securities exchanges and by
non-government agencies or regulatory bodies. Certain of the
Corporation’s public disclosure, internal control
environment and corporate governance principles are subject to
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) and related regulations and
rules of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (NYSE).
New laws or regulations or changes to existing laws and
regulations (including changes in interpretation or enforcement)
could materially adversely affect the Corporation’s
financial condition or results of operations. As a financial
institution, to the extent that different regulatory systems
impose overlapping or inconsistent requirements on the conduct
of the Corporation’s business, it faces increased
complexity and additional costs in its compliance efforts.
General
The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from its
subsidiaries. As a financial holding company and a bank holding
company, the Corporation is regulated under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (BHC Act), and is subject to
inspection, examination and supervision by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). The Corporation
is also subject to regulation by the SEC as a result of the
Corporation’s status as a public company and due to the
nature of the business activities of certain of the
Corporation’s subsidiaries. The Corporation’s common
stock is listed on the NYSE under the trading symbol
“FNB” and the Corporation is subject to the listed
company rules of the NYSE.
The Corporation’s subsidiary bank (FNBPA) and trust company
(FNTC) are organized as national banking associations, which are
subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which is a bureau of
the UST. FNBPA is also subject to certain regulatory
requirements of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC), the FRB and other federal and state regulatory agencies,
including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits,
restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be
granted and the interest that may be charged thereon,
inter-affiliate transactions, limitations on the types of
investments that may be made, activities that may be engaged in
and types of services that may be offered. In addition to
banking laws, regulations and regulatory agencies, the
Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to various other
laws and regulations and supervision and examination by other
regulatory agencies, all of which directly or indirectly affect
the operations and management of the Corporation and its ability
to make distributions to its stockholders. If the Corporation
fails to comply with these or other applicable laws and
regulations, it may be subject to civil monetary penalties,
imposition of cease and desist orders or other written
directives, removal of management and, in certain cases,
criminal penalties.
As a result of the GLB Act and subject to the restrictions and
limitations imposed by the “Volcker Rule” of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) discussed below, which repealed or
modified a number of significant statutory provisions, including
those of the Glass-Steagall Act and the BHC Act which imposed
restrictions on banking organizations’ ability to engage in
certain types of business activities, bank holding companies
such as the Corporation now have broad authority to engage in
activities that are financial in nature or incidental to such
financial activity, including insurance underwriting and
brokerage; merchant banking; securities underwriting, dealing
and market-making; real estate development; and such additional
activities as the FRB in consultation with the Secretary of the
UST determines to be financial in nature or incidental thereto.
A bank holding company may engage in these activities directly
or through subsidiaries by qualifying as a “financial
holding company.” A financial holding company may engage
directly or indirectly in activities considered financial in
nature, either de novo or by acquisition, provided the financial
holding company gives the FRB
after-the-fact
notice of the new activities. The GLB Act also permits national
banks, such as FNBPA,
to engage in activities considered financial in nature through a
financial subsidiary, subject to certain conditions and
limitations and with the approval of the OCC.
As a regulated financial holding company, the Corporation’s
relationships and good standing with its regulators are of
fundamental importance to the continuation and growth of the
Corporation’s businesses. The FRB, OCC, FDIC and SEC have
broad enforcement powers and authority to approve, deny or
refuse to act upon applications or notices of the Corporation or
its subsidiaries to conduct new activities, acquire or divest
businesses or assets or reconfigure existing operations. In
addition, the Corporation, FNBPA and FNTC are subject to
examination by various regulators, which results in examination
reports (which are not publicly available) and ratings that can
impact the conduct and growth of the Corporation’s
businesses. These examinations consider not only safety and
soundness principles, but also compliance with applicable laws
and regulations, including bank secrecy and anti-money
laundering requirements, loan quality and administration,
capital levels, asset quality and risk management ability and
performance, earnings, liquidity and various other factors,
including, but not limited to, community reinvestment. An
examination downgrade by any of the Corporation’s federal
bank regulators could potentially result in the imposition of
significant limitations on the activities and growth of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries.
The FRB is the “umbrella” regulator of a financial
holding company. In addition, a financial holding company’s
operating entities, such as its subsidiary broker-dealers,
investment managers, merchant banking operations, investment
companies, insurance companies and banks, are subject to the
jurisdiction of various federal and state “functional”
regulators.
There are numerous laws, regulations and rules governing the
activities of financial institutions and bank holding companies.
The following discussion is general in nature and seeks to
highlight some of the more significant of these regulatory
requirements, but does not purport to be complete or to describe
all of the laws and regulations that apply to the Corporation
and its subsidiaries.
Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act became law. The
Dodd-Frank Act will have a broad impact on the financial
services industry, including significant regulatory and
compliance changes including, among other things,
In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act establishes a new framework for
systemic risk oversight within the financial system that will be
enforced by new and existing federal regulatory agencies,
including the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), FRB,
OCC, FDIC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
The following description briefly summarizes certain impacts of
the Dodd-Frank Act on the operations and activities, both
currently and prospectively, of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries.
Deposit Insurance. The Dodd-Frank Act makes
permanent the $250,000 deposit insurance limit for insured
deposits. Amendments to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act also
revise the assessment base against which an insured depository
institution’s deposit insurance premiums paid to the
FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be calculated.
Under the amendments, the FDIC assessment base will no longer be
the institution’s deposit base, but rather its average
consolidated total assets less its average equity. The
Dodd-Frank Act also changes the minimum designated reserve ratio
of the DIF, increasing the minimum from 1.15% to 1.35% of the
estimated amount of total insured deposits, and eliminating the
requirement that the FDIC pay dividends to depository
institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds certain thresholds
by September 30, 2020. Several of these provisions may
increase the FDIC deposit insurance premiums FNBPA pays.
Interest on Demand Deposits. The Dodd-Frank
Act also provides that, effective one year after the date of its
enactment, depository institutions may pay interest on demand
deposits. Although the Corporation has not determined the
ultimate impact of this aspect of the legislation, the
Corporation expects interest costs associated with demand
deposits to increase.
Trust Preferred Securities. The
Dodd-Frank Act prohibits bank holding companies from including
in their regulatory Tier 1 capital hybrid debt and equity
securities issued on or after May 19, 2010. Among the
hybrid debt and equity securities included in this prohibition
are TPS, which the Corporation has issued in the past in order
to raise additional Tier 1 capital and otherwise improve
its regulatory capital ratios. Although the Corporation may
continue to include its existing TPS as Tier 1 capital, the
prohibition on the use of these securities as Tier 1
capital may limit the Corporation’s ability to raise
capital in the future.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The
Dodd-Frank Act creates a new, independent CFPB within the FRB.
The CFPB’s responsibility is to establish, implement and
enforce rules and regulations under certain federal consumer
protection laws with respect to the conduct of providers of
certain consumer financial products and services. The CFPB has
rulemaking authority over many of the statutes that govern
products and services banks offer to consumers. In addition, the
Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt consumer protection laws
and regulations that are more stringent than those regulations
the CFPB will promulgate and state attorneys general will have
the authority to enforce consumer protection rules the CFPB
adopts against state-chartered institutions and national banks.
Compliance with any such new regulations established by the CFPB
and/or
states could reduce the Corporation’s revenue, increase its
cost of operations, and could limit its ability to expand into
certain products and services.
Debit Card Interchange Fees. The Dodd-Frank
Act gives the FRB the authority to establish rules regarding
interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by
payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to
enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable
and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the
issuer. While the Corporation is not subject to these rules so
long as it does not have assets in excess of $10 billion,
the Corporation’s activities as a debit card issuer may
nevertheless be indirectly impacted by the change in the
applicable debit card market caused by these regulations, which
may lead the Corporation to match any new lower fee structure
implemented by larger financial institutions to remain
competitive. Such lower fees could impact the revenue the
Corporation earns from debit interchange fees, which were equal
to $15.2 million for 2010. If the Corporation’s asset
growth causes its total assets to exceed $10 billion,
revenue earned from interchange fees could decrease
significantly.
Increased Capital Standards and Enhanced
Supervision. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the
federal banking agencies to establish minimum leverage and
risk-based capital requirements for banks and bank holding
companies. These new standards will be no less strict than
existing regulatory capital and leverage standards applicable to
insured depository institutions and may, in fact, become higher
once the agencies promulgate the new standards. Compliance with
heightened capital standards may reduce the Corporation’s
ability to generate or originate revenue-producing assets and
thereby restrict revenue generation from banking and non-banking
operations.
Transactions with Affiliates. The Dodd-Frank
Act enhances the requirements for certain transactions with
affiliates under Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve
Act, including an expansion of the definition of “covered
transactions,” and an increase in the amount of time for
which collateral requirements regarding covered transactions
must be maintained.
Transactions with Insiders. The Dodd-Frank Act
expands insider transaction limitations through the
strengthening of loan restrictions to insiders and the expansion
of the types of transactions subject to the various limits,
including derivative transactions, repurchase agreements,
reverse repurchase agreements and securities
lending and borrowing transactions. The Dodd-Frank Act also
places restrictions on certain asset sales to and from an
insider of an institution, including requirements that such
sales be on market terms and, in certain circumstances, receive
the approval of the institution’s board of directors.
Enhanced Lending Limits. The Dodd-Frank Act
strengthens the existing limits on a depository
institution’s credit exposure to one borrower. Federal
banking law currently limits a national bank’s ability to
extend credit to one person or group of related persons to an
amount that does not exceed certain thresholds. The Dodd-Frank
Act expands the scope of these restrictions to include credit
exposure arising from derivative transactions, repurchase
agreements and securities lending and borrowing transactions. It
also will eventually prohibit state-chartered banks from
engaging in derivative transactions unless the state lending
limit laws take into account credit exposure to such
transactions.
Corporate Governance. The Dodd-Frank Act
addresses many corporate governance and executive compensation
matters that will affect most U.S. publicly traded
companies, including the Corporation. The Dodd-Frank Act:
The Dodd-Frank Act also restricts proprietary trading by banks,
bank holding companies and others, and their acquisition and
retention of ownership interests in and sponsorship of hedge
funds and private equity funds. This restriction is common
referred to as the “Volcker Rule.” There is an
exception in the Volcker Rule to allow a bank to organize and
offer hedge funds and private equity funds to customers if
certain conditions are met. These conditions include, among
others, requirements that the bank provides bona fide
investment advisory services; the funds are organized only
in connection with such services and to customers of such
services; the bank does not have more than a de minimis
interest in the funds, limited to a 3% ownership interest in
any single fund and an aggregated investment in all funds of 3%
of tier 1 capital; the bank does not guarantee the
obligations or performance of the funds; and no director or
employee of the bank has an ownership interest in the fund
unless he or she provides services directly to the funds.
Further details on the scope of the Volcker Rule and its
exceptions are expected to be defined in regulations due to be
issued later in 2011.
Many of the requirements the Dodd-Frank Act authorizes will be
implemented over time and most will be subject to implementing
regulations over the course of several years. While the
Corporation’s current assessment is that the Dodd-Frank Act
will not have a material effect on the Corporation, given the
uncertainty associated with the manner in which the federal
banking agencies may implement the provisions of the Dodd-Frank
Act, the full extent of the impact such requirements may have on
the Corporation’s operations and the financial services
markets is unclear at this time. The changes resulting from the
Dodd-Frank Act may impact the Corporation’s profitability,
require changes to certain of the Corporation’s business
practices, including limitations on fee income opportunities,
impose more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage
requirements upon the Corporation or otherwise adversely affect
the Corporation’s business. These changes may also require
the Corporation to invest significant management attention and
resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply
with new statutory and regulatory requirements. While the
Corporation cannot predict what effect any presently
contemplated or future changes in the laws or regulations or
their interpretations would have on the Corporation, it does not
believe that these changes will have a material adverse effect
on the Corporation.
Capital
and Operational Requirements
The FRB, OCC and FDIC issued substantially similar risk-based
and leverage capital guidelines applicable to U.S. banking
organizations. In addition, these regulatory agencies may from
time to time require that a banking organization maintain
capital above the minimum levels, due to its financial condition
or actual or anticipated growth.
The FRB’s risk-based guidelines are based on a three-tier
capital framework. Tier 1 capital includes common
stockholders’ equity and qualifying preferred stock, less
goodwill and other adjustments. Tier 2 capital consists of
preferred stock not qualifying as tier 1 capital, mandatory
convertible debt, limited amounts of subordinated debt, other
qualifying term debt and the allowance for loan losses of up to
1.25 percent of risk-weighted assets. Tier 3 capital
includes subordinated debt that is unsecured, fully paid, has an
original maturity of at least two years, is not redeemable
before maturity without prior approval by the FRB and includes a
lock-in clause precluding payment of either interest or
principal if the payment would cause the issuing bank’s
risk-based capital ratio to fall or remain below the required
minimum.
The Corporation, like other bank holding companies, currently is
required to maintain tier 1 capital and total capital (the
sum of tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 capital) equal
to at least 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively, of its total
risk-weighted assets (including various off-balance sheet
items). Risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing
tier 1 and total capital by risk-weighted assets. Assets
and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to one of four
categories of risk-weights, based primarily on relative credit
risk. The risk-based capital standards are designed to make
regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in
credit and market risk profiles among banks and financial
holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure,
and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets
and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk
categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital
ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted
assets and off-balance sheet items. At December 31, 2010,
the Corporation’s tier 1 and total capital ratios
under these guidelines were 11.38% and 12.90%, respectively. At
December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $199.0 million
of capital securities that qualified as tier 1 capital and
$17.0 million of subordinated debt that qualified as
tier 2 capital.
In addition, the FRB has established minimum leverage ratio
guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines
currently provide for a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to
average total assets, less goodwill and certain other intangible
assets (the leverage ratio), of 3.0% for bank holding companies
that meet certain specified criteria, including the highest
regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies generally
are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4.0%. The
guidelines also provide that bank holding companies experiencing
internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to
maintain strong capital positions substantially above the
minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on
intangible assets. Further, the FRB has indicated that it will
consider a “tangible tier 1 capital leverage
ratio” (deducting all intangibles) and all other indicators
of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new
activities. The Corporation’s leverage ratio at
December 31, 2010 was 8.69%.
Increased
Capital Standards and Enhanced Supervision.
The Dodd-Frank Act imposes a series of more onerous capital
requirements on financial companies and other companies,
including swap dealers and nonbank financial companies that are
determined to be of systemic risk. Compliance with heightened
capital standards may reduce the Corporation’s ability to
generate or originate revenue-producing assets and thereby
restrict revenue generation from banking and non-banking
operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act’s new regulatory capital requirements
are intended to ensure that “financial institutions hold
sufficient capital to absorb losses during future periods of
financial distress.” The Dodd-Frank Act directs federal
banking agencies to establish minimum leverage and risk-based
capital requirements on a consolidated basis for insured
depository institutions, their holding companies and nonbank
financial companies that have been determined to be systemically
significant by the FSOC.
The Dodd-Frank Act requires that, at a minimum, regulators apply
to bank holding companies and other systemically significant
nonbank financial companies the same capital and risk standards
that such regulators apply to banks insured by the FDIC. An
important consequence of this requirement is that hybrid capital
instruments, such as TPS, will no longer be included in the
definition of tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital includes
common stock, retained earnings, certain types of preferred
stock and TPS. Since TPS are not currently counted as
tier 1 capital for insured banks, the effect of the
Dodd-Frank Act is that such securities will no longer be
included as tier 1 capital for bank holding companies.
Excluding TPS from tier 1 capital could significantly
decrease regulatory capital levels of bank holding companies
that have traditionally relied on TPS to meet capital
requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act capital requirements may force
bank holding companies to raise other forms of tier 1
capital, for example, by issuing perpetual non-cumulative
preferred stock. Since common stock must typically constitute at
least 50 percent of tier 1 capital, many bank holding
companies and systemically significant nonbank companies may
also be forced to consider dilutive follow-on offerings of
common stock.
In order to ease the compliance burden associated with the new
capital requirements, the Dodd-Frank Act provides a number of
exceptions and phase-in periods. For bank holding companies and
systemically important nonbank financial companies, any
“regulatory capital deductions” for debt or equity
issued before May 19, 2010 will be phased in incrementally
from January 1, 2013 to January 1, 2016. The term
“regulatory capital deductions” refers to the
exclusion of hybrid capital from Tier 1 capital. The
ultimate impact of these new capital and liquidity standards on
the Corporation cannot be determined at this time and will
depend on a number of factors, including the treatment and
implementation by the U.S. banking regulators.
Prompt
Corrective Action
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 (FDICIA), among other things, classifies insured depository
institutions into five capital categories (well-capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized) and requires
the respective federal regulatory agencies to implement systems
for “prompt corrective action” for insured depository
institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements
within such categories. FDICIA imposes progressively more
restrictive constraints on operations, management and capital
distributions, depending on the category in which an institution
is classified. Failure to meet the capital guidelines could also
subject a banking institution to capital-raising requirements,
restrictions on its business and a variety of enforcement
remedies, including the termination of deposit insurance by the
FDIC, and in certain circumstances the appointment of a
conservator or receiver. An “undercapitalized” bank
must develop a capital restoration plan and its parent holding
company must guarantee that bank’s compliance with the
plan. The liability of the parent holding company under any such
guarantee is limited to the lesser of five percent of the
bank’s assets at the time it became
“undercapitalized” or the amount needed to comply with
the plan. Furthermore, in the event of the bankruptcy of the
parent holding company, the obligation under such guarantee
would take priority over the parent’s general unsecured
creditors. In addition, FDICIA requires the various regulatory
agencies to prescribe certain non-capital standards for safety
and soundness relating generally to operations and management,
asset quality and executive compensation and permits regulatory
action against a financial institution that does not meet such
standards.
The various regulatory agencies have adopted substantially
similar regulations that define the five capital categories
identified by FDICIA, using the total risk-based capital,
tier 1 risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios as
the relevant capital measures. Such regulations establish
various degrees of corrective action to be taken when an
institution is considered undercapitalized. Under the
regulations, a “well-capitalized” institution must
have a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%, a
total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0% and a leverage
ratio of at least 5.0% and not be subject to a capital directive
order. Under these guidelines, FNBPA was considered
well-capitalized as of December 31, 2010.
When determining the adequacy of an institution’s capital,
federal regulators must also take into consideration
(a) concentrations of credit risk; (b) interest rate
risk (when the interest rate sensitivity of an
institution’s assets does not match the sensitivity of its
liabilities or its off-balance sheet position) and
(c) risks from non-traditional activities, as well as an
institution’s ability to manage those risks. This
evaluation is made as part of
the institution’s regular safety and soundness examination.
In addition, the Corporation, and any bank with significant
trading activity, must incorporate a measure for market risk in
their regulatory capital calculations.
Expanded
FDIC Powers Upon Insolvency of Insured Depository
Institutions
The Dodd-Frank Act provides a mechanism for appointing the FDIC
as receiver for a financial company like the Corporation if the
failure of the company and its liquidation under the Bankruptcy
Code or other insolvency procedures would pose a significant
risk to the financial stability of the U.S.
If appointed as receiver for a failing systemic financial
company, the FDIC has broad authority under the Dodd-Frank Act
and the Orderly Liquidation Authority it created to operate or
liquidate the business, sell the assets, and resolve the
liabilities of the company immediately after its appointment as
receiver or as soon as conditions make this appropriate. This
authority will enable the FDIC to act immediately to sell assets
of the company to another entity or, if that is not possible, to
create a bridge financial company to maintain critical functions
as the entity is wound down. In receiverships of insured
depository institutions, the ability to act quickly and
decisively has been found to reduce losses to creditors while
maintaining key banking services for depositors and businesses.
The FDIC will similarly be able to act quickly in resolving
non-bank financial companies under the Dodd-Frank Act.
On August 10, 2010, the FDIC created the new Office of
Complex Financial Institutions to help implement its expanded
responsibilities. The FDIC is in the process of developing rules
for the implementation of its new receivership authority.
Subject to these new rules, if the FDIC is appointed the
conservator or receiver of an insured depository institution
upon its insolvency or in certain other events, the FDIC has the
power to:
Interstate
Banking
Under the BHC Act, bank holding companies, including those that
are also financial holding companies, are required to obtain the
prior approval of the FRB before acquiring more than five
percent of any class of voting stock of any non-affiliated bank.
Pursuant to the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (Interstate Banking Act), a bank holding
company may acquire banks located in states other than its home
state without regard to the permissibility of such acquisitions
under state law, but subject to any state requirement that the
bank has been organized and operating for a minimum period of
time, not to exceed five years, and the requirement that the
bank holding company, after the proposed acquisition, controls
no more than 10 percent of the total amount of deposits of
insured depository institutions in the U.S. and no more
than 30 percent or such lesser or greater amount set by
state law of such deposits in that state.
The Dodd-Frank Act confers on state and national banks the
ability to branch de novo into any state, provided that the law
of that state permits a bank chartered establishment in that
state to establish a branch at that same location.
Community
Reinvestment Act
The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) requires depository
institutions to assist in meeting the credit needs of their
market areas consistent with safe and sound banking practices.
Under the CRA, each depository institution is required to help
meet the credit needs of its market areas by, among other
things, providing credit to low- and moderate-income individuals
and communities. Depository institutions are periodically
examined for compliance with the CRA and are assigned ratings.
In order for a financial holding company to commence any new
activity permitted by the BHC Act, or to acquire any company
engaged in any new activity permitted by the BHC Act, each
insured depository institution subsidiary of the financial
holding company must have received a rating of at least
“satisfactory” in its most recent examination under
the CRA. Furthermore, banking regulators take into account CRA
ratings when considering approval of a proposed transaction.
Financial
Privacy
In accordance with the GLB Act, federal banking regulators
adopted rules that limit the ability of banks and other
financial institutions to disclose non-public information about
consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. These limitations
require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some
circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain
personal information to a nonaffiliated third party. The privacy
provisions of the GLB Act affect how consumer information is
transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed
to outside vendors.
Anti-Money
Laundering Initiatives and the USA Patriot Act
A major focus of governmental policy on financial institutions
in recent years has been aimed at combating money laundering and
terrorist financing. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (USA Patriot
Act) substantially broadened the scope of U.S. anti-money
laundering laws and regulations by imposing significant new
compliance and due diligence obligations, creating new crimes
and penalties and expanding the extra-territorial jurisdiction
of the U.S. The UST has issued a number of regulations that
apply various requirements of the USA Patriot Act to financial
institutions such as FNBPA. These regulations require financial
institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and
controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and
terrorist financing and to verify the identity of their
customers. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and
implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and
terrorist financing, or to comply with all of the relevant laws
or regulations, could have serious legal and reputational
consequences for the institution.
Office of
Foreign Assets Control Regulation
The U.S. has instituted economic sanctions which affect
transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and
others. These are typically known as the “OFAC rules”
because they are administered by the UST Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC). The OFAC-administered sanctions target
countries in various ways. Generally, however, they contain one
or more of the following elements: (i) restrictions on
trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including
prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports
to a sanctioned country, and prohibitions on
“U.S. persons” engaging in financial transactions
which relate to investments in, or providing investment-related
advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (ii) a
blocking of assets in which the government or specially
designated nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest,
by prohibiting transfers of property subject to
U.S. jurisdiction (including property in the possession or
control of U.S. persons). Blocked assets (e.g., property
and bank deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or
transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC. Failure
to comply with these sanctions could have serious legal and
reputational consequences for the institution.
Consumer
Protection Statutes and Regulations
In addition to the consumer regulations that may be issued by
the CFPB pursuant to its authority under the Dodd-Frank Act,
FNBPA is subject to various federal consumer protection statutes
and regulations including the Truth in Lending Act, Truth in
Savings Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Housing Act,
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and Home Mortgage
Disclosure Act. Among other things, these acts:
On November 17, 2009, the FRB published a final rule
amending Regulation E, which implements the Electronic
Fund Transfer Act. The final rule limits the ability of a
financial institution to assess an overdraft fee for paying
automated teller machine transactions and one-time debit card
transactions that overdraw a customer’s account, unless the
customer affirmatively consents, or opts in, to the
institution’s payment of overdrafts for these transactions.
Dividend
Restrictions
The Corporation’s primary source of funds for cash
distributions to its stockholders, and funds used to pay
principal and interest on its indebtedness, is dividends
received from FNBPA. FNBPA is subject to federal laws and
regulations governing its ability to pay dividends to the
Corporation. FNBPA is subject to various regulatory policies and
requirements relating to the payment of dividends, including
requirements to maintain capital above regulatory minimums.
Additionally, FNBPA requires prior approval of the OCC for the
payment of a dividend if the total of all dividends declared in
a calendar year would exceed the total of its net income for the
year combined with its retained net income for the two preceding
years. The appropriate federal regulatory agency may determine
under certain circumstances that the payment of dividends would
be an unsafe or unsound practice and prohibit payment thereof.
In addition to dividends from FNBPA, other sources of parent
company liquidity for the Corporation include cash and
short-term investments, as well as dividends and loan repayments
from other subsidiaries.
In addition, the ability of the Corporation and FNBPA to pay
dividends may be affected by the various minimum capital
requirements and the capital and non-capital standards
established under FDICIA, as described above. The right of the
Corporation, its stockholders and its creditors to participate
in any distribution of the assets or earnings of the
Corporation’s subsidiaries is further subject to the prior
claims of creditors of the respective subsidiaries.
Source of
Strength
According to the Dodd-Frank Act and FRB policy, a financial or
bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial
strength to each of its subsidiary banks and to commit resources
to support each such subsidiary. Consistent with the
“source of strength” policy, the FRB has stated that,
as a matter of prudent banking, a bank holding company generally
should not maintain a rate of cash dividends unless its net
income has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends and the
prospective rate of earnings retention appears to be consistent
with the Corporation’s capital needs, asset quality and
overall financial condition. This support may be required at
times when a bank holding company may not be able to provide
such support. Similarly, under the cross-guarantee
provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, in the event of
a loss suffered or anticipated by the FDIC either as a result of
default of a banking subsidiary or related to FDIC assistance
provided to a subsidiary in danger of default, the other banks
that are members of the FDIC may be assessed for the FDIC’s
loss, subject to certain exceptions.
In addition, if FNBPA was no longer “well-capitalized”
and “well-managed” within the meaning of the BHC Act
and FRB rules (which take into consideration capital ratios,
examination ratings and other factors), the expedited processing
of certain types of FRB applications would not be available to
the Corporation. Moreover, examination ratings of “3”
or lower, “unsatisfactory” ratings, capital ratios
below well-capitalized levels, regulatory concerns regarding
management, controls, assets, operations or other factors can
all potentially result in the loss of financial holding company
status, practical limitations on the ability of a bank or bank
holding company to engage in new activities, grow, acquire new
businesses, repurchase its stock or pay dividends or continue to
conduct existing activities.
Financial
Holding Companies Status and Activities
Under the BHC Act, an eligible bank holding company may elect to
be a “financial holding company” and thereafter may
engage in a range of activities that are financial in nature and
that were not previously permissible for banks and bank holding
companies. The financial holding company may engage directly or
through a subsidiary in certain statutorily authorized
activities (subject to certain restrictions and limitations
imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act). A financial holding company may
also engage in any activity that has been determined by rule or
order to be financial in nature, incidental to such financial
activity, or (with prior FRB approval) complementary to a
financial activity and that does not pose substantial risk to
the safety and soundness of an institution or to the financial
system generally. In addition to these activities, a financial
holding company may engage in those activities permissible for a
bank holding company that has not elected to be treated as a
financial holding company.
For a bank holding company to be eligible for financial holding
company status, all of its subsidiary U.S. depository
institutions must be “well-capitalized” and
“well-managed.” The FRB generally must deny expanded
authority to any bank holding company with a subsidiary insured
depository institution that received less than a satisfactory
rating on its most recent CRA review as of the time it submits
its request for financial holding company status. If, after
becoming a financial holding company and undertaking activities
not permissible for a bank holding company under the BHC Act,
the company fails to continue to meet any of the requirements
for financial holding company status, the company must enter
into an agreement with the FRB to comply with all applicable
capital and management requirements. If the company does not
return to compliance within 180 days, the FRB may order the
company to divest its subsidiary banks or the company may
discontinue or divest investments in companies engaged in
activities permissible only for a bank holding company that has
elected to be treated as a financial holding company.
Activities
and Acquisitions
The BHC Act requires a bank holding company to obtain the prior
approval of the FRB before it:
The Interstate Banking Act generally permits bank holding
companies to acquire banks in any state, and preempts all state
laws restricting the ownership by a bank holding company of
banks in more than one state. The Interstate Banking Act also
permits:
Bank holding companies and banks seeking to engage in
transactions authorized by the Interstate Banking Act must be
adequately capitalized and managed.
The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person, entity or
group of persons or entities acting in concert, from acquiring
“control” of a bank holding company or bank unless the
FRB has been given prior notice and has not objected to the
transaction. Under FRB regulations, the acquisition of 10% or
more of a class of voting stock of a corporation would, under
the circumstances set forth in the regulations, create a
rebuttable presumption of acquisition of control of the
corporation.
Transactions
between FNBPA and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries
Certain transactions (including loans and credit extensions from
FNBPA) between FNBPA and the Corporation
and/or its
affiliates and subsidiaries are subject to quantitative and
qualitative limitations, collateral requirements, and other
restrictions imposed by statute and FRB regulation. Transactions
subject to these restrictions are generally required to be made
on an arms-length basis. These restrictions generally do not
apply to transactions between FNBPA and its direct wholly-owned
subsidiaries.
Securities
and Exchange Commission
The Corporation is also subject to regulation by the SEC by
virtue of the Corporation’s status as a public company and
due to the nature of the business activities of certain
subsidiaries. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly expanded the
SEC’s jurisdiction over hedge funds, credit ratings
agencies and governance of public companies, among other areas.
To help implement this authority, the Dodd-Frank Act added
several new weapons to the SEC’s already substantial
enforcement arsenal. Some of the provisions are clarifications
(such as provisions assuring that certain anti-manipulation
provisions extend to all non-government securities) or simplify
the enforcement process (such as providing for nationwide
service of process in civil actions). Several of the provisions
could lead to significant changes in SEC enforcement practice
and may have long-term implications for public companies, their
officers and employees, accountants, brokerage firms, investment
advisers and persons associated with them. These provisions
(1) authorize new rewards to and provide expanded
protections of whistleblowers; (2) provide the SEC
authority to impose substantial administrative fines on all
persons, not merely securities brokers, investment advisers and
their associated persons; (3) broaden standards for the
imposition of secondary liability; (4) confer on the SEC
extraterritorial jurisdiction over alleged violations involving
conduct abroad and enhancing the ability of the SEC and the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to regulate foreign
private accounting firms and (5) increase collateral
consequences of securities law violations. The Dodd-Frank Act
also contains a provision which should help expedite the
resolution of pending SEC enforcement investigations.
SOX contains important requirements for public companies in the
area of financial disclosure and corporate governance. In
accordance with section 302(a) of SOX, written
certifications by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) are required with
respect to each of the Corporation’s quarterly and annual
reports filed with the SEC. These certifications attest that the
applicable report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact. The Corporation also maintains a program designed
to comply with Section 404 of SOX, which includes the
identification of significant processes and accounts,
documentation of the design of process and entity level controls
and testing of the operating effectiveness of key controls. See
Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of this Report for the
Corporation’s evaluation of its disclosure controls and
procedures.
Investment Advisors is registered with the SEC as an investment
advisor and, therefore, is subject to the requirements of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the SEC’s regulations
thereunder. The principal purpose of the regulations applicable
to investment advisors is the protection of investment advisory
clients and the securities markets, rather than the protection
of creditors and stockholders of investment advisors. The
regulations
applicable to investment advisors cover all aspects of the
investment advisory business, including limitations on the
ability of investment advisors to charge performance-based or
non-refundable fees to clients, record-keeping, operating,
marketing and reporting requirements, disclosure requirements,
limitations on principal transactions between an advisor or its
affiliates and advisory clients, as well as other anti-fraud
prohibitions. The Corporation’s investment advisory
subsidiary also may be subject to certain state securities laws
and regulations.
Additional legislation, changes in or new rules promulgated by
the SEC and other federal and state regulatory authorities and
self-regulatory organizations or changes in the interpretation
or enforcement of existing laws and rules, may directly affect
the method of operation and profitability of Investment
Advisors. The profitability of Investment Advisors could also be
affected by rules and regulations that impact the business and
financial communities in general, including changes to the laws
governing taxation, antitrust regulation, homeland security and
electronic commerce.
Under various provisions of the federal and state securities
laws, including in particular those applicable to
broker-dealers, investment advisors and registered investment
companies and their service providers, a determination by a
court or regulatory agency that certain violations have occurred
at a company or its affiliates can result in a limitation of
permitted activities and disqualification to continue to conduct
certain activities.
Investment Advisors is also subject to rules and regulations
promulgated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(FINRA) and the U.S. Department of Labor under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), among others. The
principal purpose of these regulations is the protection of
clients and the securities markets, rather than the protection
of stockholders and creditors.
Consumer
Finance Subsidiary
Regency is subject to regulation under Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Ohio and Kentucky state laws that require, among other things,
that it maintain licenses in effect for consumer finance
operations for each of its offices. Representatives of the
Pennsylvania Department of Banking, the Tennessee Department of
Financial Institutions, the Ohio Division of Consumer Finance
and the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions
periodically visit Regency’s offices and conduct extensive
examinations in order to determine compliance with such laws and
regulations. Additionally, the FRB, as “umbrella”
regulator of the Corporation pursuant to the GLB Act, may
conduct an examination of Regency’s offices or operations.
Such examinations include a review of loans and the collateral
therefor, as well as a check of the procedures employed for
making and collecting loans. Additionally, Regency is subject to
certain federal laws that require that certain information
relating to credit terms be disclosed to customers and, in
certain instances, afford customers the right to rescind
transactions.
Insurance
Agencies
FNIA is subject to licensing requirements and extensive
regulation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and the various states in which FNIA conducts business. These
laws and regulations are primarily for the benefit of
policyholders. In all jurisdictions, the applicable laws and
regulations are subject to amendment or interpretation by
regulatory authorities. Generally, such authorities are vested
with relatively broad discretion to grant, renew and revoke
licenses and approvals and to implement regulations. Licenses
may be denied or revoked for various reasons, including the
violation of such regulations or the conviction of certain
crimes. Possible sanctions that may be imposed for violation of
regulations include the suspension of individual employees,
limitations on engaging in a particular business for a specified
period of time, revocation of licenses, censures and fines.
Penn-Ohio is subject to examination on a triennial basis by the
Arizona Department of Insurance. Representatives of the Arizona
Department of Insurance periodically determine whether Penn-Ohio
has maintained required reserves, established adequate deposits
under a reinsurance agreement and complied with reporting
requirements under the applicable Arizona statutes.
Merchant
Banking
FNBCC is subject to regulation and examination by the FRB as the
“umbrella” regulator and is subject to rules and
regulations issued by FINRA and the SEC.
Governmental
Policies
The operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are
affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by
the policies of various regulatory authorities. In particular,
the FRB regulates monetary policy and interest rates in order to
influence general economic conditions. These policies have a
significant influence on overall growth and distribution of
loans, investments and deposits and affect interest rates
charged on loans or paid for time and savings deposits. FRB
monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating
results of all financial institutions in the past and may
continue to do so in the future.

traded on the NYSE under the symbol “FNB”.
As a financial services organization, the Corporation takes on a
certain amount of risk in every business decision and activity.
For example, every time FNBPA opens an account or approves a
loan for a customer, processes a payment, hires a new employee,
or implements a new computer system, FNBPA and the Corporation
incur a certain amount of risk. As an organization, the
Corporation must balance revenue generation and profitability
with the risks associated with its business activities. The
objective of risk management is not to eliminate risk, but to
identify and accept risk and then manage risk effectively so as
to optimize total shareholder value.
The Corporation has identified five major categories of risk:
credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and
compliance risk. The Corporation more fully describes credit
risk, market risk and liquidity risk, and the programs the
Corporation’s management has implemented to address these
risks, in the Market Risk section of Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, which is included in Item 7 of this Report.
Operational risk arises from inadequate information systems and
technology, weak internal control systems or other failed
internal processes or systems, human error, fraud or external
events. Compliance risk relates to each of the other four major
categories of risk listed above, but specifically addresses
internal control failures that result in non-compliance with
laws, rules, regulations or ethical standards.
The following discussion highlights specific risks that could
affect the Corporation and its businesses. You should carefully
consider each of the following risks and all of the other
information set forth in this Report. Based on the information
currently known, the Corporation believes that the following
information identifies the most significant risk factors
affecting the Corporation. However, the risks and uncertainties
the Corporation faces are not limited to those described below.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that
the Corporation currently believes to be immaterial may also
adversely affect its business.
If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into
actual events or if the circumstances described in the risks and
uncertainties occur or continue to occur, these events or
circumstances could have a material adverse affect on the
Corporation’s business, financial condition or results of
operations. These events could also have a negative affect on
the trading price of the Corporation’s securities.
The
Corporation’s results of operations are significantly
affected by the ability of its borrowers to repay their
loans.
Lending money is an essential part of the banking business.
However, borrowers do not always repay their loans. The risk of
non-payment is affected by:
Generally, commercial/industrial, construction and commercial
real estate loans present a greater risk of non-payment by a
borrower than other types of loans. For additional information,
see the Lending Activity section of Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
which is included in Item 7 of this Report. In addition,
consumer loans typically have shorter terms and lower balances
with higher yields compared to real estate mortgage loans, but
generally carry higher risks of default. Consumer loan
collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing
financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by
adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of
various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and
insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on
these loans.
The
Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations
would be adversely affected if its allowance for loan losses is
not sufficient to absorb actual losses.
There is no precise method of predicting loan losses. The
Corporation can give no assurance that its allowance for loan
losses will be sufficient to absorb actual loan losses. Excess
loan losses could have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation’s financial condition and results of
operations. The Corporation attempts to maintain an appropriate
allowance for loan losses to provide for estimated losses
inherent in its loan portfolio as of the reporting date. The
Corporation periodically determines the amount of its allowance
for loan losses based upon consideration of several quantitative
and qualitative factors including, but not limited to, the
following:
For additional discussion relating to this matter, refer to the
Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses section of
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, which is included in Item 7 of
this Report.
Changes
in economic conditions and the composition of the
Corporation’s loan portfolio could lead to higher loan
charge-offs or an increase in the Corporation’s provision
for loan losses and may reduce the Corporation’s net
income.
Changes in national and regional economic conditions continue to
impact the loan portfolios of the Corporation. For example, an
increase in unemployment, a decrease in real estate values or
changes in interest rates, as well as other factors, have
weakened the economies of the communities the Corporation
serves. Weakness in the market areas served by the Corporation
could depress its earnings and consequently its financial
condition because
customers may not want or need the Corporation’s products
or services; borrowers may not be able to repay their loans; the
value of the collateral securing the Corporation’s loans to
borrowers may decline; and the quality of the Corporation’s
loan portfolio may decline. Any of the latter three scenarios
could require the Corporation to charge-off a higher percentage
of its loans
and/or
increase its provision for loan losses, which would reduce its
net income.
The
Corporation may continue to be adversely affected by the
downturn in Florida real estate markets.
Many Florida real estate markets, including the markets in
Orlando, Sarasota and Tampa, where the Corporation had operated
loan production offices, continued to decline in value
throughout 2009 and 2010 and may continue to undergo further
declines. During a period of prolonged general economic downturn
in the Florida market and even though FNBPA’s Florida loan
portfolio comprises 3.2% of the Corporation’s total loan
portfolio, the Corporation may experience further increases in
non-performing assets, net charge-offs and provisions for loan
losses.
The
Corporation’s continued pace of growth may require it to
raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not
be available when it is needed.
The Corporation is required by federal and state regulatory
authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support
its operations (see the Government Supervision and Regulation
section included in Item 1 of this Report). As a financial
holding company, the Corporation seeks to maintain capital
sufficient to meet the
“well-capitalized”
standard set by regulators. The Corporation anticipates that its
current capital resources will satisfy its capital requirements
for the foreseeable future. The Corporation may at some point,
however, need to raise additional capital to support continued
growth, whether such growth occurs internally or through
acquisitions.
The Corporation’s ability to raise additional capital, if
needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that
time, which are outside of the Corporation’s control, and
on the Corporation’s financial performance. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance of the Corporation’s ability to
expand its operations through internal growth and acquisitions
could be materially impaired. As such, the Corporation may be
forced to delay raising capital, issue shorter term securities
than desired or bear an unattractive cost of capital, which
could decrease profitability and significantly reduce financial
flexibility.
In the event current sources of liquidity, including internal
sources, do not satisfy the Corporation’s needs, the
Corporation would be required to seek additional financing. The
availability of additional financing will depend on a variety of
factors such as market conditions, the general availability of
credit, the overall availability of credit to the financial
services industry, the Corporation’s credit ratings and
credit capacity, as well as the possibility that lenders could
develop a negative perception of the Corporation’s long- or
short-term financial prospects if the Corporation incurs large
credit losses or if the level of business activity decreases due
to economic conditions.
The
Corporation’s status as a holding company makes it
dependent on dividends from its subsidiaries to meet its
financial obligations and pay dividends to
stockholders.
The Corporation is a holding company and conducts almost all of
its operations through its subsidiaries. The Corporation does
not have any significant assets other than cash and the stock of
its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Corporation depends on
dividends from its subsidiaries to meet its financial
obligations and to pay dividends to stockholders. The
Corporation’s right to participate in any distribution of
earnings or assets of its subsidiaries is subject to the prior
claims of creditors of such subsidiaries. Under federal law,
FNBPA is limited in the amount of dividends it may pay to the
Corporation without prior regulatory approval. Also, bank
regulators have the authority to prohibit FNBPA from paying
dividends if the bank regulators determine FNBPA is in an
unsound or unsafe condition or that the payment would be an
unsafe and unsound banking practice.
The
Corporation’s results of operations may be adversely
affected if asset valuations cause
other-than-temporary
impairment or goodwill impairment charges.
The Corporation may be required to record future impairment
charges on its investment securities if they suffer declines in
value that are considered
other-than-temporary.
Numerous factors, including lack of liquidity for re-sales of
certain investment securities, absence of reliable pricing
information for investment securities, adverse changes in
business climate, adverse actions by regulators, or
unanticipated changes in the competitive environment could have
a negative effect on the Corporation’s investment portfolio
in future periods. Goodwill is assessed annually for impairment
and declines in value could result in a future non-cash charge
to earnings. If an impairment charge is significant enough it
could affect the ability of FNBPA to pay dividends to the
Corporation, which could have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation’s liquidity and its ability to pay dividends to
stockholders and could also negatively impact its regulatory
capital ratios and result in FNBPA not being classified as
“well-capitalized”
for regulatory purposes.
The
Corporation could be adversely affected by changes in the law,
especially changes in the regulation of the banking
industry.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries operate in a highly
regulated environment and are subject to supervision and
regulation by several governmental agencies, including the FRB,
OCC and FDIC. Regulations are generally intended to provide
protection for depositors, borrowers and other customers rather
than for investors. The Corporation is subject to changes in
federal and state law, regulations, governmental policies, tax
laws and accounting principles. Changes in regulations or the
regulatory environment could adversely affect the banking and
financial services industry as a whole and could limit the
Corporation’s growth and the return to investors by
restricting such activities as:
Adverse
economic conditions in the Corporation’s market area may
adversely impact its results of operations and financial
condition.
The substantial portion of the Corporation’s business is
concentrated in Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, which over recent
years has had slower growth than other areas of the United
States. As a result, FNBPA’s loan portfolio and results of
operations may be adversely affected by factors that have a
significant impact on the economic conditions in this market
area. The local economies of this market area have historically
been less robust than the economy of the nation as a whole and
may not be subject to the same fluctuations as the national
economy. Adverse economic conditions in this market area,
including the loss of certain significant employers, could
reduce its growth rate, affect its borrowers’ ability to
repay their loans and generally affect the Corporation’s
financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, a
downturn in real estate values in FNBPA’s market area could
cause many of its loans to become inadequately collateralized.
The
Corporation’s deposit insurance premiums could be
substantially higher in the future which would have an adverse
effect on the Corporation’s future earnings.
The Dodd-Frank Act changed the assessment base for FDIC deposit
insurance. The new assessment base will be tied to total assets
less tangible equity instead of deposit liabilities. The likely
effect of this will be to increase
assessment fees for institutions that rely more heavily on
nondeposit funding sources. Many in the banking industry believe
that this change will increase assessment rates for large banks
and lower assessment costs for smaller community banks. In
general, community banks usually derive the majority of their
funding from deposits, so the assessment rates for such
institutions should not increase and could decrease. However,
the higher assessments for institutions that have relied on
nondeposit sources of funding in the past could force these
institutions to change their funding models and more actively
search for deposits. If this happens, it could drive up the
costs to attain deposits across the market, a situation that
would negatively impact community banks like FNBPA.
The Dodd-Frank Act also changes the minimum reserve ratio for
the FDIC DIF. The Dodd-Frank Act increases the minimum reserve
ratio to 1.35 percent of estimated insured deposits or the
assessment base. On December 15, 2010, the Board of
Directors of the FDIC voted on a final rule to set the
DIF’s designated reserve ratio (DRR) at 2% of estimated
insured deposits. The FDIC is required to offset the effect of
the increased minimum reserve ratio for banks with assets of
less than $10 billion, so smaller community banks will be
spared the cost of funding the increase in the minimum reserve
ratio. It is not clear how the FDIC will offset the effect of
the increased minimum reserve ratio for banks with assets of
less than $10 billion. The FDIC could charge the same
assessment rates to both large and small banks until the DIF
reaches the previous minimum reserve ratio of 1.15 percent
and then charge higher rates to larger banks to bring the ratio
up to the new 1.35 percent threshold. It is likely that
once the DIF reaches the new minimum reserve ratio, banks of all
sizes will be required to maintain the DIF above that ratio.
This could further increase the assessment rates of community
banks like FNBPA in the future.
Due to the recent increases in the assessment rates, and the
potential for additional increases, the Corporation may be
required to pay additional amounts to the DIF, which could have
an adverse effect on the Corporation’s earnings. If the
deposit insurance premium assessment rate applicable to the
Corporation increases again, either because of its risk
classification, because of emergency assessments, or because of
another uniform increase, the Corporation’s earnings could
be further adversely impacted.
The
Corporation’s information systems may experience an
interruption or breach in security.
The Corporation relies heavily on communications and information
systems to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption or
breach in security of these systems could result in failures or
disruptions in the Corporation’s customer relationship
management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems.
Although the Corporation has policies and procedures designed to
prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption or
security breach of these information systems, there can be no
assurance that any such failures, interruptions or security
breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be
adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures,
interruptions or security breaches of the Corporation’s
information systems could damage its reputation, result in a
loss of customer business, subject it to additional regulatory
scrutiny, or expose it to civil litigation and possible
financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results
of operations.
Certain
provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation
and By-laws and Florida law may discourage takeovers.
The Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws
contain certain anti-takeover provisions that may discourage or
may make more difficult or expensive a tender offer, change in
control or takeover attempt that is opposed by the
Corporation’s Board of Directors. In particular, the
Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws:
Under Florida law, the approval of a business combination with a
stockholder owning 10% or more of the voting shares of a
corporation requires the vote of holders of at least two-thirds
of the voting shares not owned by such stockholder, unless the
transaction is approved by a majority of the corporation’s
disinterested directors. In addition, Florida law generally
provides that shares of a corporation that are acquired in
excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any
voting rights unless the voting rights are approved by a
majority of the corporation’s disinterested stockholders.
These provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of
Incorporation and By-laws and of Florida law could discourage
potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a
change in control, even though a majority of the
Corporation’s stockholders may consider such proposals
desirable. Such provisions could also make it more difficult for
third parties to remove and replace members of the
Corporation’s Board of Directors. Moreover, these
provisions could diminish the opportunities for stockholders to
participate in certain tender offers, including tender offers at
prices above the then-current market price of the
Corporation’s common stock, and may also inhibit increases
in the trading price of the Corporation’s common stock that
could result from takeover attempts.
The
Corporation is exposed to risk of environmental liabilities with
respect to properties to which it takes title.
Portions of the Corporation’s loan portfolio are secured by
real property. In the ordinary course of its business, the
Corporation may own or foreclose and take title to real estate,
and could be subject to environmental liabilities with respect
to these properties. The Corporation may be held liable to a
governmental entity or to third parties for property damage,
personal injury, investigation and
clean-up
costs incurred by these parties in connection with environmental
contamination, or may be required to investigate or clean up
hazardous or toxic substances, or chemical releases at a
property. The costs associated with investigation or remediation
activities could be substantial. In addition, as the owner or
former owner of a contaminated site, the Corporation may be
subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages
and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating
from the property. If the Corporation ever becomes subject to
significant environmental liabilities, the Corporation’s
business, financial condition, liquidity and results of
operations could be materially adversely affected.
The
Corporation’s key assets include its brand and reputation
and the Corporation’s business may be affected by how it is
perceived in the market place.
The Corporation’s brand and its attributes are key assets
of the Corporation. The Corporation’s ability to attract
and retain banking, insurance, consumer finance, wealth
management, merchant banking and corporate clients is highly
dependent upon the external perceptions of its level of service,
trustworthiness, business practices and financial condition.
Negative perceptions or publicity regarding these matters could
damage the Corporation’s reputation among existing
customers and corporate clients, which could make it difficult
for the Corporation to attract new clients and maintain existing
ones. Adverse developments with respect to the financial
services industry may also, by association, negatively impact
the Corporation’s reputation, or result in greater
regulatory or legislative scrutiny or litigation against the
Corporation. Although the Corporation monitors developments for
areas of potential risk to its reputation and brand, negative
perceptions or publicity could materially and adversely affect
the Corporation’s revenues and profitability.
NONE.
The Corporation owns a six-story building in Hermitage,
Pennsylvania that serves as its headquarters, executive and
administrative offices. It shares this facility with Community
Banking and Wealth Management. Additionally, the Corporation
owns a two-story building in Hermitage, Pennsylvania that serves
as its data processing and technology center.
The Community Banking segment has 223 offices, located in 32
counties in Pennsylvania and four counties in Ohio, of which 159
are owned and 64 are leased. Community Banking also leases its
two commercial loan offices. The Consumer Finance segment has 62
offices, located in 17 counties in Pennsylvania, 16 counties in
Tennessee, 14 counties in Ohio and 5 counties in Kentucky, of
which one is owned and 61 are leased. The operating leases for
the Community Banking and Consumer Finance segments expire at
various dates through the year 2030 and generally include
options to renew. For additional information regarding the lease
commitments, see the Premises and Equipment footnote in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included in
Item 8 of this Report.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in various
pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for
monetary damages and other relief are asserted. These actions
include claims brought against the Corporation and its
subsidiaries where the Corporation or a subsidiary acted as one
or more of the following: a depository bank, lender,
underwriter, fiduciary, financial advisor, broker or was engaged
in other business activities. Although the ultimate outcome for
any asserted claim cannot be predicted with certainty, the
Corporation believes that it and its subsidiaries have valid
defenses for all asserted claims. Reserves are established for
legal claims when losses associated with the claims are judged
to be probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated.
Based on information currently available, advice of counsel,
available insurance coverage and established reserves, the
Corporation does not anticipate, at the present time, that the
aggregate liability, if any, arising out of such legal
proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation’s consolidated financial position. However, the
Corporation cannot determine whether or not any claims asserted
against it will have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated results of operations in any future reporting
period.

Management’s discussion and analysis represents an overview
of the consolidated results of operations and financial
condition of the Corporation. This discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes presented in Item 8 of this Report.
Results of operations for the periods included in this review
are not necessarily indicative of results to be obtained during
any future period.
Important
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Information
Certain statements in this Report are “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act, relating to present or future trends or
factors affecting the banking industry and, specifically, the
financial operations, markets and products of the Corporation.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words
such as “believe”, “plan”,
“expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”,
“outlook”, “estimate”, “forecast”,
“will”, “should”, “project”,
“goal”, and other similar words and expressions. These
forward-looking statements involve certain risks and
uncertainties. There are a number of important factors that
could cause the Corporation’s future results to differ
materially from historical performance or projected performance.
These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) a
significant increase in competitive pressures among financial
institutions; (2) changes in the interest rate environment
that may reduce net interest margins; (3) changes in
prepayment speeds, loan sale volumes, charge-offs and loan loss
provisions; (4) general economic conditions;
(5) various monetary and fiscal policies and regulations of
the U.S. Government that may adversely affect the
businesses in which the Corporation is engaged;
(6) technological issues which may adversely affect the
Corporation’s financial operations or customers;
(7) changes in the securities markets; (8) risk
factors mentioned in the reports and registration statements the
Corporation files with the SEC which are on file with the SEC,
and are available on the Corporation’s website at
www.fnbcorporation.com and on the SEC website at
www.sec.gov; (9) housing prices; (10) job
market; (11) consumer confidence and spending habits or
(12) estimates of fair value of certain the
Corporation’s assets and liabilities. All information
provided in this Report is based on information presently
available and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to revise
these forward-looking statements or to reflect events or
circumstances after the date this Report is filed with the SEC.
Application
of Critical Accounting Policies
The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). Application of these principles
requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments
that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions
and judgments are based on information available as of the date
of the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as this
information changes, the consolidated financial statements could
reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain
policies inherently are based to a greater extent on estimates,
assumptions and judgments of management and, as such, have a
greater possibility of producing results that could be
materially different than originally reported.
The most significant accounting policies followed by the
Corporation are presented in the Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies footnote in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, which is included in Item 8 of this
Report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, provide
information on how the Corporation values significant assets and
liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, how the
Corporation determines those values and how the Corporation
records transactions in the consolidated financial statements.
Management views critical accounting policies to be those which
are highly dependent on subjective or complex judgments,
estimates and assumptions, and where changes in those estimates
and assumptions could have a significant impact on the
consolidated financial statements. Management currently views
the determination of the allowance for loan losses, securities
valuation, goodwill and other intangible assets and income taxes
to be critical accounting policies.
Allowance
for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses addresses credit losses inherent
in the existing loan portfolio and is presented as a reserve
against loans on the consolidated balance sheet. Loan losses are
charged off against the allowance for loan losses, with
recoveries of amounts previously charged off credited to the
allowance for loan losses. Provisions for loan losses are
charged to operations based on management’s periodic
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance.
Estimating the amount of the allowance for loan losses is based
to a significant extent on the judgment and estimates of
management regarding the amount and timing of expected future
cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of
homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and
consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of
which may be susceptible to significant change.
Management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses considers individual impaired loans, pools of
homogeneous loans with similar risk characteristics and other
risk factors concerning the economic environment. The specific
credit allocations for individual impaired loans are based on
ongoing analyses of all loans over a fixed dollar amount where
the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined
classification. These analyses involve a high degree of judgment
in estimating the amount of loss associated with specific
impaired loans, including estimating the amount and timing of
future cash flows, current fair value of the underlying
collateral and other qualitative risk factors that may affect
the loan. The evaluation of this component of the allowance
requires considerable judgment in order to estimate inherent
loss exposures.
Pools of homogeneous loans with similar risk characteristics are
also assessed for probable losses. A loss migration and
historical charge-off analysis is performed quarterly and loss
factors are updated regularly based on actual experience. This
analysis examines historical loss experience, the related
internal ratings of loans charged off and considers inherent but
undetected losses within the portfolio. Inherent but undetected
losses may arise due to uncertainties in economic conditions,
delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable
information about a borrower’s financial condition, the
difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate to
subsequent loss rates and risk factors that have not yet
manifested themselves in loss allocation factors. The
Corporation has grown through acquisitions and expanding the
geographic footprint in which it operates. As a result,
historical loss experience data used to establish loss estimates
may not precisely correspond to the current portfolio. Also,
loss data representing a complete economic cycle is not
available for all sectors. Uncertainty surrounding the strength
and timing of economic cycles also affects estimates of loss.
The historical loss experience used in the migration and
historical charge-off analysis may not be representative of
actual unrealized losses inherent in the portfolio.
Management also evaluates the impact of various qualitative
factors which pose additional risks that may not adequately be
addressed in the analyses described above. Such factors could
include: levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies,
delinquencies, impaired loans, charge-offs and recoveries;
trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in
lending policies and procedures, including those for
underwriting, collection, charge-off and recovery; experience,
ability and depth of lending management and staff; national and
local economic trends and conditions; industry and geographic
conditions; concentrations of credit such as, but not limited
to, local industries, their employees or suppliers; market
uncertainty and illiquidity; or any other common risk factor
that might affect loss experience across one or more components
of the portfolio. The determination of this component of the
allowance is particularly dependent on the judgment of
management.
There are many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses;
some are quantitative, while others require qualitative
judgment. Although management believes its process for
determining the allowance adequately considers all of the
factors currently inherent in the portfolio that could
potentially result in credit losses, the process includes
subjective elements and may be susceptible to significant
change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management
estimates, additional provisions for loan losses could be
required that may adversely affect the Corporation’s
earnings or financial position in future periods.
The Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses section of this
financial review includes a discussion of the factors affecting
changes in the allowance for loan losses during the current
period.
Securities
Valuation and Impairment
The Corporation evaluates its investment securities portfolio
for
other-than-temporary
impairment (OTTI) on a quarterly basis. Impairment is assessed
at the individual security level. An investment security is
considered impaired if the fair value of the security is less
than its cost or amortized cost basis.
The Corporation’s OTTI evaluation process is performed in a
consistent and systematic manner and includes an evaluation of
all available evidence. Documentation of the process is
extensive as necessary to support a conclusion as to whether a
decline in fair value below cost or amortized cost is
other-than-temporary
and includes documentation supporting both observable and
unobservable inputs and a rationale for conclusions reached.
This process considers factors such as the severity, length of
time and anticipated recovery period of the impairment, recent
events specific to the issuer, including investment downgrades
by rating agencies and economic conditions of its industry, and
the issuer’s financial condition, capital strength and
near-term prospects. The Corporation also considers its intent
to sell the security and whether it is more likely than not that
the Corporation would be required to sell the security prior to
the recovery of its amortized cost basis. Among the factors that
are considered in determining the Corporation’s intent to
sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that the
Corporation would be required to sell the security is a review
of its capital adequacy, interest rate risk position and
liquidity.
The assessment of a security’s ability to recover any
decline in fair value, the ability of the issuer to meet
contractual obligations, and the Corporation’s intent and
ability to retain the security require considerable judgment.
The unrealized losses of $13.3 million on pooled TPS have
been recognized on the balance sheet as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, however
future charges to earnings could result if expected cash flows
deteriorate.
Debt securities with credit ratings below AA at the time of
purchase that are repayment-sensitive securities are evaluated
using the guidance of ASC (Accounting Standards Codification)
Topic 320, Investments - Debt Securities.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
As a result of acquisitions, the Corporation has acquired
goodwill and identifiable intangible assets on its balance
sheet. Goodwill represents the cost of acquired companies in
excess of the fair value of net assets, including identifiable
intangible assets, at the acquisition date. The
Corporation’s recorded goodwill relates to value inherent
in its Community Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance
segments.
The value of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles is
dependent upon the Corporation’s ability to provide
quality, cost-effective services in the face of competition. As
such, these values are supported ultimately by revenue that is
driven by the volume of business transacted. A decline in
earnings as a result of a lack of growth or the
Corporation’s inability to deliver cost effective services
over sustained periods can lead to impairment in value which
could result in additional expense and adversely impact earnings
in future periods.
Other identifiable intangible assets such as core deposit
intangibles and customer and renewal lists are amortized over
their estimated useful lives.
The two-step impairment test is used to identify potential
goodwill impairment and measure the amount of impairment loss to
be recognized, if any. The first step compares the fair value of
a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of
a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the
reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of
the test is not necessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting
unit exceeds its
fair value, the second step is performed to measure impairment
loss, if any. Under the second step, the fair value is allocated
to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit to
determine an implied fair value of goodwill. This allocation is
similar to a purchase price allocation performed in purchase
accounting. If the implied goodwill value of a reporting unit is
less than the carrying amount of that goodwill, an impairment
loss is recognized in an amount equal to that difference.
Determining fair values of a reporting unit, of its individual
assets and liabilities, and also of other identifiable
intangible assets requires considering market information that
is publicly available as well as the use of significant
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions could
have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment charge
is recognized and also the magnitude of any such charge. Inputs
used in determining fair values where significant estimates and
assumptions are necessary include discounted cash flow
calculations, market comparisons and recent transactions,
projected future cash flows, discount rates reflecting the risk
inherent in future cash flows, long-term growth rates and
determination and evaluation of appropriate market comparables.
The Corporation performed an annual test of goodwill and other
intangibles as of October 1, 2010, and concluded that the
recorded value of goodwill was not impaired.
Income
Taxes
The Corporation is subject to the income tax laws of the U.S.,
its states and other jurisdictions where it conducts business.
The laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by
the taxpayer and various taxing authorities. In determining the
provision for income taxes, management must make judgments and
estimates about the application of these inherently complex tax
statutes, related regulations and case law. In the process of
preparing the Corporation’s tax returns, management
attempts to make reasonable interpretations of the tax laws.
These interpretations are subject to challenge by the taxing
authorities based on audit results or to change based on
management’s ongoing assessment of the facts and evolving
case law.
The Corporation establishes a valuation allowance when it is
“more likely than not” that the Corporation will not
be able to realize a benefit from its deferred tax assets, or
when future deductibility is uncertain. Periodically, the
valuation allowance is reviewed and adjusted based on
management’s assessments of realizable deferred tax assets.
On a quarterly basis, management assesses the reasonableness of
the Corporation’s effective tax rate based on
management’s current best estimate of net income and the
applicable taxes for the full year. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are assessed on an annual basis, or sooner, if
business events or circumstances warrant.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements and Developments

Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included in
Item 8 of this Report, discusses new accounting
pronouncements adopted by the Corporation in 2010 and the
expected impact of accounting pronouncements recently issued or
proposed but not yet required to be adopted.

Results
of Operations
Year
Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended
December 31, 2009
Net income for 2010 was $74.7 million or $0.65 per diluted
share compared to net income available to common shareholders of
$32.8 million or $0.32 per diluted common share for 2009.
Net income available to common stockholders for 2009 was derived
by reducing net income by $8.3 million related to preferred
stock dividends and discount amortization associated with the
Corporation’s participation in the CPP. The increase in net
income is a result of an increase of $18.0 million in net
interest income, combined with an increase of $10.5 million
in non-interest income and decreases of $19.5 million in
the provision for loan losses and $4.2 million in
non-interest expenses. These items are more fully discussed
later in this section.
The Corporation’s return on average equity was 7.06% and
its return on average assets was 0.84% for 2010, compared to
3.87% and 0.48%, respectively, for 2009.
In addition to evaluating its results of operations in
accordance with GAAP, the Corporation routinely supplements its
evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial
measures, such as return on average tangible common equity and
return on average tangible assets. The Corporation believes
these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to
investors in understanding the Corporation’s operating
performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the
performance of the Corporation’s peers. The non-GAAP
financial measures the Corporation uses may differ from the
non-GAAP financial measures other financial institutions use to
measure their results of operations.
The following tables summarize the Corporation’s non-GAAP
financial measures for 2010 and 2009 derived from amounts
reported in the Corporation’s financial statements (dollars
in thousands):

Net
Interest Income
Net interest income, which is the Corporation’s major
source of revenue, is the difference between interest income
from earning assets (loans, securities and federal funds sold)
and interest expense paid on liabilities (deposits, treasury
management accounts and short- and long-term borrowings). In
2010, net interest income, which comprised 71.1% of net revenue
(net interest income plus non-interest income) compared to 71.7%
in 2009, was affected by the general level of interest rates,
changes in interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the
level of non-accrual loans and changes in the amount and mix of
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
Net interest income, on an FTE basis, increased
$19.3 million or 7.1% from $272.4 million for 2009 to
$291.6 million for 2010. Average interest earning assets
increased $277.9 million or 3.7% and average interest
bearing liabilities increased $195.9 million or 3.0% from
2009 due to investment, loan, deposit and treasury management
account growth. The Corporation’s net interest margin
increased 10 basis points from 2009 to 3.77% for 2010 as
deposit rates declined faster than loan yields along with an
improved funding mix with higher transaction account balances
and lower long-term debt. Details on changes in tax equivalent
net interest income attributed to changes in interest earning
assets, interest bearing liabilities, yields and cost of funds
are set forth in the preceding table.
The following table provides certain information regarding
changes in net interest income attributable to changes in the
average volumes and yields earned on interest earning assets and
the average volume and rates paid for interest bearing
liabilities for the periods indicated (in thousands):
Interest Income
Securities
Loans
Interest Expense
Net Change
Interest income, on an FTE basis, of $380.4 million in 2010
decreased by $14.2 million or 3.6% from 2009. Average
interest earning assets of $7.7 billion for 2010 grew
$277.9 million or 3.7% from the same period of 2009
primarily driven by increases in average investments and average
loans. The yield on interest earning assets decreased
37 basis points to 4.92% for 2010 reflecting the decreases
in market interest rates.
Interest expense of $88.7 million for 2010 decreased by
$32.4 million or 26.8% from 2009. The rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities decreased 54 basis points to 1.32%
during 2010 reflecting changes in interest rates and a favorable
shift in mix. Average interest bearing liabilities increased
$195.9 million or 3.0% to average $6.7 billion for
2010. This growth was primarily attributable to average deposit
and treasury management account growth of $479.9 million or
7.2% for 2010, driven by the success of marketing campaigns
designed to attract new customers to the Corporation’s
local approach to banking combined with customer preferences to
keep funds in banks due to uncertainties in the market. This
growth was partially offset by a $195.0 million or 46.5%
reduction in long-term debt associated with the prepayment and
maturities of certain higher cost borrowings in 2010.
Provision
for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is determined based on
management’s estimates of the appropriate level of
allowance for loan losses needed to absorb probable losses
inherent in the existing loan portfolio, after giving
consideration to charge-offs and recoveries for the period.
The provision for loan losses of $47.3 million during 2010
decreased $19.5 million from 2009. During 2010, net
charge-offs decreased $21.0 million from 2009 as the
Corporation recognized lower net charge-offs for its Florida
portfolio, which decreased $24.4 million compared to 2009.
The allowance for loan losses increased $1.5 million from
December 31, 2009 to $106.1 million at
December 31, 2010 reflecting an increase in lending
activity, particularly in commercial loans and consumer lines of
credit. While the economy is recovering from the recession, the
duration of the slow economic environment remains a challenge
for borrowers, particularly in the Corporation’s Florida
portfolio. The $47.3 million provision for loan losses for
2010 was comprised of $17.1 million relating to
FNBPA’s Florida region, $6.1 million relating to
Regency and $24.1 million relating to the remainder of the
Corporation’s portfolio, which is predominantly in
Pennsylvania. During 2010, net charge-offs were
$45.9 million or 0.77% of average loans compared to
$66.9 million or 1.15% of average loans for 2009. The net
charge-offs for 2010 were comprised of $19.5 million or
8.83% of average loans relating to FNBPA’s Florida region,
$6.1 million or 3.82% of average loans relating to Regency
and $20.3 million or 0.36% of average loans relating to the
remainder of the Corporation’s portfolio. For additional
information, refer to the Allowance and Provision for Loan
Losses section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Non-Interest
Income
Total non-interest income of $116.0 million in 2010
increased $10.5 million or 9.9% from 2009. This increase
resulted primarily from higher gains on sales of securities, an
increase in trust fees and higher gains on sales of residential
mortgage loans, combined with increased other income and lower
OTTI charges. These items were partially offset by decreases in
service charges, insurance commissions and fees, securities
commissions and fees and income from bank owned life insurance
(BOLI). These items are further explained in the following
paragraphs.
Net impairment losses on securities of $2.3 million
improved by $5.6 million from 2009 due to fewer impairment
losses during 2010 relating to investments in pooled TPS.
Service charges on loans and deposits of $56.8 million for
2010 decreased $1.0 million or 1.7% from 2009, reflecting
lower overdraft fees resulting from changing patterns of
consumer behavior and the implementation of Regulation E,
which was effective for new accounts on July 1, 2010 and
existing accounts on August 15, 2010. The impact of
Regulation E on 2010 was a reduction to service charges on
deposits of $1.7 million. The lower overdraft fees were
partially offset by higher debit card fees.
Insurance commissions and fees of $15.8 million for 2010
decreased $0.9 million or 5.4% from 2009 primarily as a
result of lower contingent and commission revenues.
Securities commissions and fees of $6.8 million for 2010
decreased by $0.6 million or 8.3% from 2009 primarily due
to lower revenue generated from financial consultant activity
during 2010.
Trust fees of $12.7 million in 2010 increased by
$0.9 million or 7.7% from 2009 due to the effect of
improved market conditions on assets under management compared
to 2009. Assets under management increased by $61.4 million
or 2.7% to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2010.
Income from BOLI of $4.9 million for 2010 decreased by
$0.7 million or 13.0% from 2009. This decrease was
primarily attributable to lower yields and a $13.7 million
withdrawal from the policy which was redeployed into higher
yielding investments during 2009.
Gain on sale of residential mortgage loans of $3.8 million
for 2010 increased by $0.7 million or 22.9% from 2009. The
Corporation sold $191.9 million of residential mortgage
loans during 2010 compared to $196.2 million during 2009 as
part of its ongoing strategy of generally selling
30-year
fixed rate residential mortgage loans.
Gains on sales of securities of $3.0 million increased
$2.4 million from 2009 primarily as a result of the
Corporation selling a $6.0 million U.S. government
agency security and $53.8 million of mortgage-backed
securities during 2010 to better position the balance sheet.
Other income of $14.5 million for 2010 increased
$4.1 million or 39.4% from 2009. The primary items
contributing to this increase were $2.9 million more in
recoveries on impaired loans acquired in previous acquisitions,
$2.0 million more in gains relating to activity at the
Corporation’s merchant banking subsidiary and
$0.2 million more in gains relating to the sale of
repossessed assets. These items were partially offset by a gain
of $0.8 million recognized during 2009 on the sale of a
building acquired in a previous acquisition and a decrease of
$0.5 million in fees earned through an interest rate swap
program for larger commercial customers who desire fixed rate
loans while the Corporation benefits from a variable rate asset,
thereby helping to reduce volatility in net interest income.
Non-Interest
Expense
Total non-interest expense of $251.1 million in 2010
decreased $4.2 million or 1.7% from 2009. This decrease was
primarily attributable to decreases in salaries and employee
benefits, outside services, other real estate owned (OREO), FDIC
insurance, telephone and advertising, partially offset by
increases in merger-related and other expenses. These items are
further explained in the following paragraphs.
Salaries and employee benefits of $126.3 million in 2010
decreased $0.6 million or 0.5% from 2009. This decrease was
primarily driven by a one-time $10.5 million reduction to
pension expense in 2010 related to the amendment of the existing
plan to be more in line with current industry practices. This
amendment is intended to reduce the volatility and uncertainty
of future pension costs and provide employees greater
flexibility through participation in the Corporation’s
401(k) plan which is expected to increase the Corporation’s
contributions by approximately $1.0 million per annum.
Partially offsetting the one-time pension adjustment was an
increase of $3.8 million relating to salaries associated
with various revenue-generating initiatives such as the addition
of an asset-based lending group and an expanded private banking
group combined with normal annual merit increases. Additionally,
incentive compensation, increased $3.8 million resulting
from business performance, discretionary employer 401(k)
contributions increased $1.1 million as a result of the
Corporation exceeding its annual profitability thresholds and
restricted stock expense increased $1.0 million primarily
due to the effect of prior year executive bonuses being awarded
in stock instead of cash.
Amortization of intangibles expense of $6.7 million in 2010
decreased $0.4 million or 5.3% from 2009 due to a
combination of certain intangible assets being completely
amortized during 2009 and lower amortization expense on some
intangible assets due to accelerated amortization methods.
Outside services expense of $22.6 million in 2010 decreased
$1.0 million or 4.1% from 2009 primarily due to lower legal
and consulting fees during 2010 resulting from the completion of
projects and loan workout efforts in 2009.
FDIC insurance of $10.5 million for 2010 decreased
$3.4 million from 2009 due to a one-time special assessment
of $4.0 million paid during 2009, partially offset by the
full year effect of an increase in FDIC insurance premium rates
during the second half of 2009 and higher deposits.
State tax expense of $7.3 million in 2010 increased
$0.5 million or 6.8% from 2009 primarily due to higher net
worth based taxes related to the June 2009 capital raise.
OREO expense of $4.9 million in 2010 decreased
$1.3 million or 21.0% from 2009, due to lower foreclosure
activity and write-downs of OREO property in the Florida market
compared to 2009.
Telephone expense of $4.5 million in 2010 decreased
$0.7 million or 13.6% from 2009 reflecting continued
effective expense control through the use of technology.
Advertising and promotional expense of $5.2 million in 2010
decreased slightly from 2009.
The Corporation recorded merger-related expenses of
$0.6 million in 2010 relating to the acquisition of CBI,
which closed on January 1, 2011. No merger-related expenses
were recorded during 2009. Information relating to the
Corporation’s acquisitions is discussed in the Mergers and
Acquisitions footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which is included in Item 8 of this Report.
Other non-interest expenses of $24.2 million in 2010
increased $2.1 million or 9.7% from 2009. During 2010, the
Corporation recognized charges of $2.3 million associated
with the prepayment of certain higher cost borrowings to better
position the balance sheet.
The Corporation’s income tax expense of $27.9 million
for 2010 increased by $18.6 million from 2009. The
effective tax rate of 27.19% for 2010 increased from 18.40% for
2009, primarily due to higher pre-tax income for 2010. The
income tax expense for 2010 and 2009 were favorably impacted by
$0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, due to
the resolution of previously uncertain tax positions. The lower
effective tax rate also reflects benefits resulting from
tax-exempt income on investments, loans and BOLI. Both
periods’ tax rates are lower than the 35.0% federal
statutory tax rate due to the tax benefits primarily resulting
from tax-exempt instruments and excludable dividend income.
Year
Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended
December 31, 2008
Net income for 2009 was $41.1 million compared to net
income of $35.6 million for 2008. Net income available to
common stockholders for 2009 was $32.8 million or $0.32 per
diluted share, compared to net income available to common
stockholders for 2008 of $35.6 million or $0.44 per diluted
share. Net income available to common stockholders for 2009
included $8.3 million related to preferred stock dividends
and discount amortization associated with the Corporation’s
participation in the CPP. The increase in net income is a result
of an increase of $15.2 million in net interest income,
combined with an increase of $19.4 million in non-interest
income and a decrease of $5.6 million in the provision for
loan losses, partially offset by an increase of
$32.6 million in non-interest expenses. These items are
more fully discussed later in this section.
The Corporation’s return on average equity was 3.87% and
its return on average assets was 0.48% for 2009, compared to
4.20% and 0.46%, respectively, for 2008.
Net interest income, which is the Corporation’s major
source of revenue, is the difference between interest income
from earning assets and interest expense paid on liabilities. In
2009, net interest income, which comprised 71.7% of net revenue
compared to 74.5% in 2008, was affected by the general level of
interest rates, changes in interest rates, the shape of the
yield curve, the level of non-accrual loans and changes in the
amount and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities.
Net interest income, on an FTE basis, increased
$14.6 million or 5.6% from $257.8 million for 2008 to
$272.4 million for 2009. Average interest earning assets
increased $797.3 million or 12.0% and average interest
bearing liabilities increased $564.4 million or 9.5% from
2008 due to organic loan and deposit growth and the Omega and
IRGB acquisitions. The Corporation’s net interest margin
decreased by 21 basis points from 2008 to 3.67% for 2009 as
loan yields declined faster than deposit rates, reflecting the
actions taken by the FRB to lower interest rates during the
fourth quarter of 2008 combined with competitive pressures on
deposit rates.
Interest income, on an FTE basis, of $394.6 million in 2009
decreased by $21.3 million or 5.1% from 2008. Average
interest earning assets of $7.4 billion for 2009 grew
$797.3 million or 12.0% from the same period of 2008
primarily driven by the Omega and IRGB acquisitions, which
increased loans by $1.1 billion and $160.2 million,
respectively, at the time of each acquisition. The yield on
interest earning assets decreased 96 basis points to 5.29%
for 2009 reflecting changes in interest rates as the FRB has
lowered its federal funds target rate from 4.25% at the
beginning of 2008 to 0.25% by the end of 2009.
Interest expense of $121.2 million for 2009 decreased by
$36.8 million or 23.3% from 2008. The rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities decreased 80 basis points to 1.86%
during 2009 reflecting changes in interest rates and a favorable
shift in mix. Average interest bearing liabilities increased
$564.4 million or 9.5% to average $6.5 billion for
2009. This growth was primarily attributable to the Omega and
IRGB acquisitions combined with organic growth. The Omega and
IRGB acquisitions increased deposits by $1.3 billion and
$256.8 million, respectively, at the time of each
acquisition. The Corporation also recognized organic average
deposit and treasury management account growth of
$279.7 million or 4.7% for 2009, compared to 2008, driven
by success with ongoing marketing campaigns designed to attract
new customers to the Corporation’s local approach to
banking combined with customer preferences to keep funds in
banks due to uncertainties in the market.
The provision for loan losses of $66.8 million in 2009
decreased $5.6 million from 2008. In 2009, net charge-offs
increased $34.3 million as allowances provided in 2008 were
charged off in 2009, while the allowance for loan losses ended
2009 at $104.7 million, flat with December 31, 2008.
The $66.8 million provision for loan losses for 2009 was
comprised of $35.1 million relating to FNBPA’s Florida
region, $6.7 million relating to Regency and
$25.0 million relating to the remainder of the
Corporation’s portfolio. The increase in net charge-offs
reflects continued weakness in the Corporation’s Florida
portfolio, and, to a much lesser extent, the slowing economy in
Pennsylvania. During 2009, net charge-offs were
$66.9 million or 1.15% of average loans compared to
$32.6 million or 0.60% of average loans for 2008. The net
charge-offs for 2009 were comprised of $43.8 million or
15.80% of average loans relating to FNBPA’s Florida region,
$6.3 million or 4.04% of average loans relating to Regency
and $16.7 million or 0.30% of average loans relating to the
remainder of the Corporation’s portfolio. For additional
information, refer to the Allowance and Provision for Loan
Losses section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Total non-interest income of $105.5 million in 2009
increased $19.4 million or 22.5% from 2008. This increase
resulted primarily from increases in both service charges and
insurance commissions and fees reflecting organic growth and the
impact of acquisitions combined with lower OTTI charges, a gain
recognized on the sale of a building acquired in a previous
acquisition and higher gains on sales of residential mortgage
loans. These items were partially offset by decreases in
securities commissions and fees, trust fees, income from bank
owned life insurance and gains on sales of securities.
Service charges on loans and deposits of $57.7 million for
2009 increased $3.0 million or 5.6% from 2008, reflecting
organic growth as the Corporation took advantage of competitor
disruption in the marketplace, with ongoing marketing campaigns
designed to attract new customers to the Corporation’s
local approach to banking. Additionally, the Corporation’s
customer base expanded as a result of the Omega and IRGB
acquisitions during 2008. Insurance commissions and fees of
$16.7 million for 2009 increased $1.1 million or 7.1%
from 2008 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Omega
during 2008. Securities commissions of $7.5 million for
2009 decreased by $0.7 million or 8.2% from 2008 primarily
due to lower activity due to market conditions, partially offset
by the impact of the acquisition of Omega during 2008. Trust
fees of $11.8 million in 2009 decreased by
$0.3 million or 2.3% from 2008 due to the negative effect
of market conditions on assets under management, partially
offset by growth in assets under management resulting from the
Omega acquisition during 2008. Income from BOLI of
$5.7 million for 2009 decreased by $0.7 million or
11.4% from 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to
death claims, lower yields and a $13.7 million withdrawal
from the policy due to the unfavorable market conditions during
2009. Gain on sale of residential mortgage loans of
$3.1 million for 2009 increased by $1.2 million or
67.8% from 2008 due to a higher volume of loan sales resulting
from increased loan refinancing in a lower rate environment. The
Corporation sold $196.2 million of residential mortgage
loans during 2009 compared to $117.8 million during 2008.
Gains on sales of securities of $0.5 million decreased
$0.3 million or 36.7% from 2008. During 2009, the
Corporation recognized a gain of $0.2 million relating to
the acquisition of a company in which the Corporation owned
stock. Additionally, the Corporation recognized a gain of
$0.2 million relating to called securities during 2009.
During 2008, most of the gain related to the Visa, Inc. initial
public offering. The Corporation is a member of Visa USA since
it issues Visa debit cards. As such, a portion of the
Corporation’s ownership interest in Visa was redeemed in
exchange for $0.7 million. This entire amount was recorded
as gain on sale of securities in 2008 since the
Corporation’s cost basis in Visa is zero. Net impairment
losses on securities of $7.9 million decreased by
$9.3 million from 2008. Impairment losses on securities
during 2009 consisted of $7.1 million related to
investments in pooled TPS and $0.7 million related to
investments in bank stocks, while impairment losses on
securities during 2008 consisted of $16.0 million related
to investments in pooled TPS and $1.2 million related to
investments in bank stocks. Other income of $10.4 million
for 2009 increased $6.7 million or 178.0% from 2008. The
primary items contributing to this increase were
$1.0 million more in gains relating to payments received on
impaired loans acquired in previous acquisitions, a gain of
$0.8 million on the sale of a building acquired in a
previous acquisition and an increase of $0.3 million in
fees earned through an interest rate swap program for larger
commercial customers who desire fixed rate loans while the
Corporation benefits from a variable rate asset, thereby helping
to reduce volatility in its net interest income. Additionally,
impairment losses associated with the Corporation’s
merchant banking subsidiary decreased by $2.9 million.
Total non-interest expense of $255.3 million in 2009
increased $32.6 million or 14.7% from 2008. This increase
was primarily attributable to operating expenses resulting from
the Omega and IRGB acquisitions in 2008 combined with increases
in salaries and employee benefits, OREO and FDIC insurance.
Salaries and employee benefits of $126.9 million in 2009
increased $10.0 million or 8.6% from 2008. This increase
was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Omega and IRGB
during 2008 combined with $1.1 million in additional
pension expense during 2009 resulting from an increase in the
actuarial valuation amount. Combined net occupancy and equipment
expense of $38.2 million in 2009 increased
$4.0 million or 11.7% from the combined 2008 level,
primarily due to the Omega and IRGB acquisitions during 2008.
Amortization of intangibles expense of
$7.1 million in 2009 increased $0.6 million or 10.0%
from 2008 primarily due to higher intangible balances resulting
from the Omega and IRGB acquisitions during 2008. Outside
services expense of $23.6 million in 2009 increased
$2.7 million or 12.8% from 2008 primarily due to the Omega
and IRGB acquisitions during 2008, combined with higher fees for
professional services, including legal fees incurred for loan
workout efforts. FDIC insurance of $13.9 million for 2009
increased $13.0 million from 2008 due to a one-time special
assessment of $4.0 million paid during 2009, combined with
an increase in FDIC insurance premium rates for 2009 and FNBPA
having utilized its FDIC insurance premium credits in prior
periods. State tax expense of $6.8 million in 2009
increased $0.3 million or 4.0% from 2008 primarily due to
higher net worth based taxes resulting from the
Corporation’s acquisitions of Omega and IRGB in 2008. OREO
expense of $6.2 million in 2009 increased $4.0 million
from 2008, due to increased foreclosure activity and write-downs
of OREO property, particularly in the Florida market, during
2009. Advertising and promotional expense of $5.3 million
in 2009 increased $0.7 million or 16.0% from 2008 due to
increased advertising in connection with the Corporation’s
efforts to attract new customers to the Corporation’s local
approach to banking during a time of competitor disruption in
the marketplace, combined with the Corporation’s
acquisitions of Omega and IRGB in 2008. The Corporation recorded
merger-related expenses of $4.7 million in 2008 relating to
the acquisitions of Omega and IRGB. No merger-related expenses
were recorded during 2009. Information relating to the
Corporation’s acquisitions is discussed in the Mergers and
Acquisitions footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which is included in Item 8 of this Report.
Other non-interest expenses of $22.1 million in 2009
increased $2.1 million or 10.2% from 2008. This increase
reflects additional operating costs associated with the
Corporation’s acquisitions of Omega and IRGB in 2008.
Additionally, loan-related expense of $3.8 million in 2009
increased $0.8 million from 2008 primarily due to costs
associated with the Florida commercial loan portfolio in 2009.
Also, the Corporation recorded net expense of $1.0 million
during 2009 associated with a litigation settlement.
The Corporation’s income tax expense of $9.3 million
for 2009 increased by $2.0 million or 28.1% from 2008. The
effective tax rate of 18.4% for 2009 increased from 16.9% for
the prior year, primarily due to higher pre-tax income for 2009.
The income tax expense for 2009 and 2008 were favorably impacted
by $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, due to
the resolution of previously uncertain tax positions. The lower
effective tax rate also reflects benefits resulting from
tax-exempt income on investments, loans and BOLI. Both
periods’ tax rates are lower than the 35.0% federal
statutory tax rate due to the tax benefits primarily resulting
from tax-exempt instruments and excludable dividend income.
Liquidity
The Corporation’s goal in liquidity management is to
satisfy the cash flow requirements of customers and the
operating cash needs of the Corporation with cost-effective
funding. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has
established an Asset/Liability Management Policy in order to
achieve and maintain earnings performance consistent with
long-term goals while maintaining acceptable levels of interest
rate risk, a “well-capitalized” balance sheet and
adequate levels of liquidity. The Board of Directors of the
Corporation has also established a Contingency Funding Policy to
address liquidity crisis conditions. These policies designate
the Corporate
Asset/Liability
Committee (ALCO) as the body responsible for meeting these
objectives. The ALCO, which includes members of executive
management, reviews liquidity on a periodic basis and approves
significant changes in strategies that affect balance sheet or
cash flow positions. Liquidity is centrally managed on a daily
basis by the Corporation’s Treasury Department.
FNBPA generates liquidity from its normal business operations.
Liquidity sources from assets include payments from loans and
investments as well as the ability to securitize, pledge or sell
loans, investment securities and other assets. Liquidity sources
from liabilities are generated primarily through the 223 banking
offices of FNBPA in the form of deposits and treasury management
accounts. The Corporation also has access to reliable and
cost-effective wholesale sources of liquidity. Short-term and
long-term funds can be acquired to help fund normal business
operations as well as serve as contingency funding in the event
that the Corporation would be faced with a liquidity crisis.
The principal sources of the parent company’s liquidity are
its strong existing cash resources plus dividends it receives
from its subsidiaries. These dividends may be impacted by the
parent’s or its subsidiaries’ capital needs, statutory
laws and regulations, corporate policies, contractual
restrictions, profitability and other factors. Cash on hand at
the parent at December 31, 2010 was $91.6 million, up
from $74.9 million at December 31, 2009. Management
believes these are appropriate levels of cash for the
Corporation given the current environment. Two metrics that are
used to gauge the adequacy of the parent company’s cash
position are the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Months of
Cash on Hand (MCH). The LCR is defined as the sum of cash on
hand plus cash inflows over the next 12 months divided by
cash outflows over the next 12 months. The LCR was 2.0x on
December 31, 2010 and 2.1x on December 31, 2009 versus
a policy guideline of > = 1x. The MCH is defined
as the number of months of corporate expenses that can be
covered by the cash on hand. The MCH was 12 months on both
December 31, 2010 and 2009 versus a policy guideline of
> = 3 months. During 2009, the Parent took a
number of actions to bolster its cash position. On
January 9, 2009, the Corporation completed the sale of
100,000 shares of newly issued Series C Preferred
Stock valued at $100.0 million as part of the UST’s
CPP. The Corporation redeemed the Series C Preferred Stock
on September 9, 2009. Additionally, on January 21,
2009, the Corporation’s Board of Directors elected to
reduce the common stock cash dividend rate from $0.24 to $0.12
per quarter, thus reducing annual liquidity needs by
approximately $55.0 million. Finally, on June 16,
2009, the Corporation completed a common stock offering that
raised $125.8 million in total capital, $98.0 million
of which was invested in FNBPA. The parent also may draw on an
approved line of credit with a major domestic bank. This unused
line was $15.0 million as of December 31, 2010 and
2009. During 2009, a $25.0 million committed line of credit
was negotiated with a major domestic bank on behalf of Regency.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, $10.0 million was
outstanding. In addition, the Corporation also issues
subordinated notes through Regency on a regular basis.
Subordinated notes increased $14.9 million or 7.9% during
2010 to $204.2 million at December 31, 2010. This
increase is net of a $5.6 million decrease in the balance
of a single customer’s account.
The liquidity position of the Corporation continues to be strong
as evidenced by its ability to generate strong growth in
deposits and treasury management accounts. As a result, the
Corporation is less reliant on capital markets funding as
witnessed by its ratio of total deposits and treasury management
accounts to total assets of 81.0% and 79.4% as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Over this time
period, growth in deposits and treasury management accounts was
$341.0 million or 4.9% which funded loan growth of
$238.8 million. FNBPA had unused wholesale credit
availability of $3.1 billion or 35.3% of bank assets at
December 31, 2010 and $3.1 billion or 36.9% of bank
assets at December 31, 2009. These sources include the
availability to borrow from the FHLB, the FRB, correspondent
bank lines and access to certificates of deposit issued through
brokers. FNBPA has identified certain liquid assets, including
overnight cash, unpledged securities and loans, which could be
sold to meet funding needs. Included in these liquid assets are
overnight balances and unpledged government and agency
securities which totaled 4.6% and 4.9% of bank assets as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. FNBPA recently
received approval to offer an offshore, non-collateralized,
interest-bearing checking account. This account is expected to
reduce the security pledging requirements of FNBPA as customers
move from repurchase agreements to this account. Consequently,
the lower pledging requirements will result in a higher level of
unpledged government and agency securities available for
contingency funding needs.
Another metric for measuring liquidity risk is the liquidity gap
analysis. The following liquidity gap analysis (in thousands)
for the Corporation as of December 31, 2010 compares the
difference between cash flows from existing assets and
liabilities over future time intervals. Management seeks to
limit the size of the liquidity gaps so that sources and uses of
funds are reasonably matched in the normal course of business. A
matched position lays a better foundation for dealing with the
additional funding needs during a potential liquidity crisis.
The twelve-
month cumulative gap to total assets of (1.1)% as of
December 31, 2010 compares to an internal guideline of
between (5.0)% and 5.0%. This metric was not calculated as of
December 31, 2009.

In addition, the ALCO regularly monitors various liquidity
ratios and stress scenarios of the Corporation’s liquidity
position. Management believes the Corporation has sufficient
liquidity available to meet its normal operating and contingency
funding cash needs.
Market
Risk
Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and
commodity prices. The Securities footnote in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included in
Item 8 of this Report, discusses impairment charges the
Corporation has taken on its investment portfolio during 2010
and 2009 relating to the pooled TPS and bank stock portfolios.
The Securities footnote also discusses the ongoing process
management utilizes to determine whether impairment exists.
The Corporation is primarily exposed to interest rate risk
inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities as a
financial intermediary. To succeed in this capacity, the
Corporation offers an extensive variety of financial products to
meet the diverse needs of its customers. These products
sometimes contribute to interest rate risk for the Corporation
when product groups do not complement one another. For example,
depositors may want short-term deposits while borrowers desire
long-term loans.
Changes in market interest rates may result in changes in the
fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments, cash
flows and net interest income. The ALCO is responsible for
market risk management which involves devising policy
guidelines, risk measures and limits, and managing the amount of
interest rate risk and its effect on net interest income and
capital. The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments
for interest rate risk management purposes and not for trading
or speculative purposes.
Interest rate risk is comprised of repricing risk, basis risk,
yield curve risk and options risk. Repricing risk arises from
differences in the cash flow or repricing between asset and
liability portfolios. Basis risk arises when asset and liability
portfolios are related to different market rate indexes, which
do not always change by the same amount. Yield curve risk arises
when asset and liability portfolios are related to different
maturities on a given yield curve; when the yield curve changes
shape, the risk position is altered. Options risk arises from
“embedded options” within asset and liability products
as certain borrowers have the option to prepay their loans when
rates fall while certain depositors can redeem their
certificates of deposit early when rates rise.
The Corporation uses a sophisticated asset/liability model to
measure its interest rate risk. Interest rate risk measures
utilized by the Corporation include earnings simulation,
economic value of equity (EVE) and gap analysis.
Gap analysis and EVE are static measures that do not incorporate
assumptions regarding future business. Gap analysis, while a
helpful diagnostic tool, displays cash flows for only a single
rate environment. EVE’s long-term horizon helps identify
changes in optionality and longer-term positions. However,
EVE’s liquidation perspective does not translate into the
earnings-based measures that are the focus of managing and
valuing a going concern. Net interest income simulations
explicitly measure the exposure to earnings from changes in
market rates of interest. In these simulations, the
Corporation’s current financial position is combined with
assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest
income under various hypothetical rate scenarios. The ALCO
reviews earnings simulations over multiple years under various
interest rate scenarios on a periodic basis. Reviewing these
various measures provides the Corporation with a comprehensive
view of its interest rate profile.
The following repricing gap analysis (in thousands) as of
December 31, 2010 compares the difference between the
amount of interest earning assets (IEA) and interest bearing
liabilities (IBL) subject to repricing over a period of time. A
ratio of more than one indicates a higher level of repricing
assets over repricing liabilities for the time period.
Conversely, a ratio of less than one indicates a higher level of
repricing liabilities over repricing assets for the time period.

Interest Bearing Liabilities (IBL)
Period Gap
IEA/IBL (Cumulative)
Cumulative Gap to IEA
The cumulative twelve-month IEA to IBL ratio changed to 1.13 for
December 31, 2010 from 1.04 for December 31, 2009.
The allocation of non-maturity deposits to the one-month
maturity category is based on the estimated sensitivity of each
product to changes in market rates. For example, if a
product’s rate is estimated to increase by 50% as much as
the market rates, then 50% of the account balance was placed in
this category.
The following net interest income metrics were calculated using
rate ramps which move market rates in a parallel fashion
gradually over 12 months. Whereas the EVE metrics utilized
rate shocks which represent immediate rate changes that move all
market rates by the same amount. The variance percentages
represent the change between the net interest income or EVE
calculated under the particular rate scenario versus the net
interest income or EVE that was calculated assuming market rates
as of December 31, 2010.
The following table presents an analysis of the potential
sensitivity of the Corporation’s net interest income and
EVE to changes in interest rates:
Net interest income change (12 months):
+ 300 basis points
+ 200 basis points
+ 100 basis points
- 100 basis points
Economic value of equity:
− 100 basis points
The Corporation’s strategy is to manage to a neutral
interest rate risk position. In the short term, rising rates
have a modest positive effect on net interest income. The
Corporation has maintained a relatively stable net interest
margin over the last five years despite market rate volatility.
During 2010, the ALCO utilized several strategies to maintain
the Corporation’s interest rate risk position at a
relatively neutral level. For example, the Corporation
successfully achieved growth in longer-term certificates of
deposit. On the lending side, the Corporation regularly sells
long-term fixed-rate residential mortgages to the secondary
market and has been successful in the origination of consumer
and commercial loans with short-term repricing characteristics.
Total variable and adjustable-rate loans increased from 57.4% of
total loans as of December 31, 2009 to 58.4% of total loans
as of December 31, 2010. The investment portfolio is used,
in part, to manage the Corporation’s interest rate risk
position. The duration of the investment portfolio is relatively
low at 2.5 years and 2.3 years at December 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. The investment portfolio is
expected to generate approximately $460.0 million in cash flow
during 2011. Finally, the Corporation has made use of interest
rate swaps to lessen its interest rate risk position. The
$138.9 million in notional swap principal originated in
2010 contributed to the increase in adjustable loans and has
brought the total to $480.7 million under this program. For
additional information regarding interest rate swaps, see the
Derivative Instruments footnote in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, which is included in Item 8 of this
Report.
OCC
Bulletin 2000-16
mandates that banks have their asset/liability models
independently validated on a periodic basis. The
Corporation’s Asset/Liability Management Policy states that
the model will be validated at least every three years. A
leading asset/liability consulting firm issued a report as of
December 31, 2009 after conducting a validation of the
model for FNBPA. The model was given an “Excellent”
rating, which according to the consultant, indicates that the
overall model implementation meets FNBPA’s earnings
performance assessment and interest rate risk analysis needs.
The Corporation recognizes that all asset/liability models have
some inherent shortcomings. Asset/liability models require
certain assumptions to be made, such as prepayment rates on
interest earning assets and pricing impact on non-maturity
deposits, which may differ from actual experience. These
business assumptions are based upon the Corporation’s
experience, business plans and available industry data. While
management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, there can
be no assurance that modeled results will be achieved.
Furthermore, the metrics are based upon the balance sheet
structure as of the valuation data and do not reflect the
planned growth or management actions which could be taken.
Risk
Management
The key to effective risk management is to be proactive in
identifying, measuring, evaluating and monitoring risk on an
ongoing basis. Risk management practices support
decision-making, improve the success rate for new initiatives,
and strengthen the market’s confidence in the Corporation
and its affiliates.
The Corporation supports its risk management process through a
governance structure involving its Board of Directors and senior
management. The Corporation’s Risk Committee, which is
comprised of various members of the Board of Directors, helps
insure that management executes business decisions within the
Corporation’s desired risk profile. The Risk Committee has
the following key roles:
FNBPA has a Risk Management Committee comprised of senior
management to provide
day-to-day
oversight to specific areas of risk with respect to the level of
risk and risk management structure. FNBPA’s Risk Management
Committee reports on a regular basis to the Corporation’s
Risk Committee regarding the enterprise risk profile of the
Corporation and other relevant risk management issues.
The Corporation’s audit function performs an independent
assessment of the internal control environment. Moreover, the
Corporation’s audit function plays a critical role in risk
management, testing the operation of internal control systems
and reporting findings to management and to the
Corporation’s Audit Committee. Both the Corporation’s
Risk Committee and FNBPA’s Risk Management Committee
regularly assess the Corporation’s enterprise-wide risk
profile and provide guidance on actions needed to address key
risk issues.

upon. For additional information relating to commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit, see the
Commitments, Credit Risk and Contingencies footnote in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included in
Item 8 of this Report.
Lending
Activity
The loan portfolio consists principally of loans to individuals
and small- and medium-sized businesses within the
Corporation’s primary market area of Pennsylvania and
northeastern Ohio. The portfolio also includes
commercial loans in Florida, which totaled $195.3 million
or 3.2% of total loans as of December 31, 2010 compared to
$243.9 million or 4.2% of total loans as of
December 31, 2009. In addition, the portfolio contains
consumer finance loans to individuals in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Tennessee and Kentucky, which totaled $162.8 million or
2.7% of total loans as of December 31, 2010.
Following is a summary of loans (in thousands):
Commercial
Direct installment
Residential mortgages
Indirect installment
Consumer lines of credit
Other
Commercial is comprised of both commercial real estate loans and
commercial and industrial loans. Direct installment is comprised
of fixed-rate, closed-end consumer loans for personal, family or
household use, such as home equity loans and automobile loans.
Residential mortgages consist of conventional and jumbo mortgage
loans for non-commercial properties. Indirect installment is
comprised of loans written by third parties, primarily
automobile loans. Consumer lines of credit includes home equity
lines of credit (HELOC) and consumer lines of credit that are
either unsecured or secured by collateral other than home
equity. Other is comprised primarily of commercial leases,
mezzanine loans and student loans.
Total loans increased $238.8 million or 4.1% to
$6.1 billion at December 31, 2010 compared to
$5.8 billion at December 31, 2009. The majority of the
increase was due to solid growth in commercial loans and
consumer lines of credit.
Total loans were essentially unchanged at $5.8 billion for
both the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. However,
the Corporation saw a favorable shift in the loan mix as
commercial and consumer lines of credit increased by 1.9% and
19.9%, respectively, while direct installment, residential
mortgages and indirect installment declined 7.9%, 5.2% and 0.7%,
respectively. Additionally, other increased by 34.2%, primarily
due to an increase of $20.6 in commercial leases.
The composition of the Florida loan portfolio consisted of the
following as of December 31, 2010: unimproved residential
land (11.7%), unimproved commercial land (17.4%), improved land
(3.0%), income producing commercial real estate (48.1%),
residential construction (5.8%), commercial construction
(11.3%), commercial and industrial (1.1%) and owner-occupied
(1.6%). The percentage of loans in the Florida portfolio
comprising income producing commercial real estate increased
from December 31, 2009 after an $8.1 million
residential construction loan and an $8.5 million
commercial construction loan were both reclassified to the
income producing segment after the construction phases were
completed and the properties began to lease. The weighted
average
loan-to-value
ratio for the Florida portfolio was 82.0% and 76.8% as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The majority of the Corporation’s loan portfolio consists
of commercial loans. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009,
commercial real estate loans were $2.1 billion for both
periods, or 34.7% and 35.4% of total loans, respectively. As of
December 31, 2010, approximately 47.0% of the commercial
real estate loans are owner-occupied, while the remaining 53.0%
are non-owner-occupied. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009,
the Corporation had construction loans of $202.0 million
and $184.1 million, respectively, representing 3.3% and
3.1% of total loans, respectively. As of December 31, 2010
and 2009, there were no concentrations of loans relating to any
industry in excess of 10% of total loans.
Following is a summary of the maturity distribution of certain
loan categories based on remaining scheduled repayments of
principal as of December 31, 2010 (in thousands):
The total amount of loans due after one year includes
$2.9 billion with floating or adjustable rates of interest
and $855.2 million with fixed rates of interest.
For additional information relating to lending activity, see the
Loans footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which is included in Item 8 of this Report.
Non-Performing
Assets
Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and restructured
loans. Non-accrual loans represent loans for which interest
accruals have been discontinued. Restructured loans are loans in
which the borrower has been granted a concession on the interest
rate or the original repayment terms due to financial distress.
Non-performing assets also include debt securities on which OTTI
has been taken in the current or prior periods.
The Corporation discontinues interest accruals when principal or
interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 to 180 days
depending on the loan type. When a loan is placed on non-accrual
status, all unpaid interest is reversed. Non-accrual loans may
not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal
and interest has been paid and the ultimate collectibility of
the remaining principal and interest is reasonably assured.
Non-performing loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis
as part of the Corporation’s loan review and work-out
process. The potential risk of loss on these loans is evaluated
by comparing the loan balance to the fair value of any
underlying collateral or the present value of projected future
cash flows. Losses on non-accrual and restructured loans are
recognized when appropriate.
Non-performing investments consist of pooled TPS with OTTI
charges recognized that are currently in a non-accrual status.
Following is a summary of non-performing assets (dollars in
thousands):
Non-accrual loans

Non-performing assets/total assets
During 2010, non-performing loans and OREO increased
$1.1 million from $166.9 million at December 31,
2009 to $168.0 million at December 31, 2010. This
increase in non-performing loans and OREO reflects an
$8.1 million increase in restructured loans primarily
relating to the Corporation’s Pennsylvania portfolio, and
an $11.3 million increase in OREO, primarily relating to
the Corporation’s Florida portfolio. The restructured loans
have increased primarily due to modifying residential loans to
help homeowners retain their residences. Additionally, total
non-accrual loans decreased $18.3 million during 2010 as
non-accrual loans relating to the Corporation’s Florida
loan portfolio decreased $16.5 million and non-accrual
loans for Corporation’s Pennsylvania loan portfolio
decreased $1.6 million. During 2010, two non-accrual loans
in the Florida portfolio totaling $17.6 million were
partially charged down and transferred to OREO. The level of
Florida non-accruals was then further reduced during the fourth
quarter after $12.9 million in write-downs were taken as a
result of the reappraisals that occurred on a majority of the
land-related loans in that portfolio. These reductions to the
level of non-accrual loans were somewhat offset by the migration
to non-accrual of a $20.0 million relationship during 2010.
This relationship had a specific reserve of $3.4 million at
December 31, 2010, with the net balance adequately secured
based on an updated appraisal received in the fourth quarter of
2010.
The increase in non-performing loans from 2007 to 2008 is
primarily a result of the significant deterioration in Florida,
and to a much lesser extent, the slowing economy in Pennsylvania.
Following is a summary of loans 90 days or more past due on
which interest accruals continue (dollars in thousands):

Allowance
and Provision for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s
estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio
at a specific point in time. This estimate includes losses
associated with specifically identified loans, as well as
estimated probable credit losses inherent in the remainder of
the loan portfolio. Additions are made to the allowance through
both periodic provisions charged to income and recoveries of
losses previously incurred. Reductions to the allowance occur as
loans are charged off. Management evaluates the adequacy of the
allowance at least quarterly, and in doing so relies on various
factors including, but not limited to, assessment of historical
loss experience, delinquency and non-accrual trends, portfolio
growth, underlying collateral coverage and current economic
conditions. This evaluation is subjective and requires material
estimates that may change over time.
The components of the allowance for loan losses represent
estimates based upon ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, and
ASC Topic 310, Receivables. ASC Topic 450 applies to
homogeneous loan pools such as consumer installment, residential
mortgages and consumer lines of credit, as well as commercial
loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment under
ASC Topic 310. ASC Topic 310 is applied to commercial loans that
are individually evaluated for impairment.
Under ASC Topic 310, a loan is impaired when, based upon current
information and events, it is probable that the loan will not be
repaid according to its original contractual terms, including
both principal and interest. Management performs individual
assessments of impaired loans to determine the existence of loss
exposure and, where applicable, the extent of loss exposure
based upon the present value of expected future cash flows
available to pay the loan, or based upon the fair value of the
collateral less estimated selling costs where a loan is
collateral dependent.
In estimating loan loss contingencies, management considers
numerous factors, including historical charge-off rates and
subsequent recoveries. Management also considers, but is not
limited to, qualitative factors that influence the
Corporation’s credit quality, such as delinquency and
non-performing loan trends, changes in loan underwriting
guidelines and credit policies, as well as the results of
internal loan reviews. Finally, management considers the impact
of changes in current local and regional economic conditions in
the markets that the Corporation serves. Assessment of relevant
economic factors indicates that the Corporation’s primary
markets historically tend to lag the national economy, with
local economies in the Corporation’s primary market areas
also improving or weakening, as the case may be, but at a more
measured rate than the national trends. Regional economic
factors influencing management’s estimate of reserves
include uncertainty of the labor markets in the regions the
Corporation serves and a contracting labor force due, in part,
to productivity growth and industry consolidations. Homogeneous
loan pools are evaluated using a combination of historical loss
experience and an analysis of the rate at which delinquent loans
ultimately result in charge-offs to estimate credit quality
migration and expected losses within the homogeneous loan pools.
Historical loss rates are adjusted to incorporate changes in
existing conditions that may impact, both positively or
negatively, the degree to which these loss histories may vary.
This determination inherently involves a high degree of
uncertainty and considers current risk factors that may not have
occurred in the Corporation’s historical loan loss
experience.
During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Corporation updated the
allowance methodology to place a greater emphasis on losses
realized within the past two years. The previous methodology
relied on a rolling 15 quarter experience method. This change
did not have a material impact on the 2009 provision and
allowance, but could
indicate higher provisions in future periods if higher losses
are experienced. The Corporation continued to utilize this
updated methodology in 2010.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Corporation began
applying its methodology for establishing the allowance for loan
losses to the Pennsylvania and Florida loan portfolios
separately instead of continuing to evaluate the portfolios on a
combined basis. This decision was based on the fact that the two
loan portfolios have significantly different risk
characteristics and that the Florida economic environment was
deteriorating at an accelerated rate in the fourth quarter of
2008.
In evaluating its Florida loan portfolio in 2008, the
Corporation increased the allowance to address the heightened
level of inherent risk in that portfolio given the significant
deterioration in that market. In applying the methodology to
this portfolio, the Corporation utilized quantitative loss
factors provided by the OCC based on a prior recession. The
OCC-supplied rates were more appropriate than historical loss
history due to the limited age and relatively small size of the
portfolio; furthermore, all non-performing loans within this
pool have been evaluated for impairment under ASC Topic 310. The
combined impact of the significant deterioration in the Florida
market and separately evaluating the Florida loan portfolio
utilizing these quantitative factors was a $12.3 million
increase in the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses for
the Florida loan portfolio at December 31, 2008, with the
predominant factor being the impact of the significant
deterioration in the Florida market.
The Corporation also increased qualitative allocations to
address increased inherent risk associated with its Florida
loans including, but not limited to, current levels and trends
of the Florida portfolio, collateral valuations, charge-offs,
non-performing assets, delinquency, risk rating migration,
competition, legal and regulatory issues and local economic
trends. The combined impact of the significant deterioration in
the Florida market and separately evaluating the Florida loan
portfolio utilizing these qualitative factors was a
$2.3 million increase in the Corporation’s allowance
for loan losses for the Florida loan portfolio at
December 31, 2008.

The national trends in the economy and real estate market
deteriorated during 2008, and the deterioration accelerated
significantly in the fourth quarter of 2008. These trends were
particularly evident in the Florida market where excess
inventory built up, new construction slowed dramatically and
credit markets stopped functioning normally. With economic
activity turning negative across all sectors of the economy,
sales activity in the Florida real estate market virtually
ceased during the fourth quarter of 2008. The significant
deterioration in the Florida market during the fourth quarter of
2008 also reflected increased stress on borrowers’ cash
flow streams and increased stress on guarantors characterized by
significant reductions in their liquidity positions.
During 2009, activity throughout the Florida marketplace
increased across various asset classes as price points had been
reduced to levels that generated interest from buyers. The
Corporation experienced increased activity and levels of
interest in condominiums and developed residential lots. In
addition, the Corporation also experienced increased interest in
land as a number of clients pursued sales opportunities for
further development.
During 2010, the level of investor interest and activity in the
Florida market continued to improve. This was evident in the
number of investors seeking opportunities to purchase properties
at current market price points, as well as an increase in
lending activity. The Corporation completed the sale of various
condo units and developed land parcels during the year which had
previously been in OREO. The Corporation also successfully sold
four performing loan relationships to a Florida-based community
bank at par value, a sign the secondary markets are beginning to
open up and that lending activity is resuming in the Florida
market.
The following tables provide additional information relating to
the provision and allowance for loan losses for the
Corporation’s core portfolios (dollars in thousands):
At or for the Year Ended December 31, 2010
Net charge-offs/average loans
At or for the Year Ended December 31, 2009
During 2010, the Corporation reduced its Florida land-related
portfolio including OREO by $25.1 million or 24.3%,
reducing total land-related exposure including OREO to
$78.1 million. In addition, the condominium portfolio
exposure including OREO, is down $1.6 million since
December 31, 2009 to $2.8 million at December 31,
2010. These reductions are consistent with the
Corporation’s objective to reduce higher risk exposures in
the Florida portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010
increased $1.5 million or 1.4% from December 31, 2009
as the provision for loan losses for 2010 of $47.3 million
exceeded net charge-offs of $45.9 million. While there is
an increase in lending activity in the Corporation’s
Pennsylvania portfolio, the duration of the slow economic
environment in the Corporation’s Florida portfolio
continues to be a challenge. The allowance for loan losses for
the Florida portfolio was $17.5 million or 8.95% of total
loans in that portfolio at December 31, 2010 compared to
$19.8 million or 8.11% of that portfolio at
December 31, 2009. Based on data collected from
reappraisals during 2010 on certain properties in the Florida
portfolio, along with Florida market data, the information
suggests that Florida land valuations have not yet fully
stabilized. As a result, the Corporation provided additional
reserves to the Florida land portfolio allowance during the
first three quarters of 2010 in anticipation of the reappraisal
process that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2010 on a
majority of the properties in the land portfolio. The collective
impact of loan migrations, write-downs and transfers to OREO
during the year resulted in a $0.4 million reduction in the
Florida land-related allowance. The allowance for the Florida
land-related portfolio at December 31, 2010 was
$7.6 million or 12.12% of the land-related portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing
loans increased from 71.92% as of December 31, 2009 to
78.44% as of December 31, 2010. While the allowance for
loan losses increased $1.5 million or 1.4% since
December 31, 2009, non-performing loans decreased
$10.2 million or 7.0% over the same period primarily due to
loans migrating to OREO.
During 2009, the Corporation was able to reduce its Florida
land-related portfolio including OREO by $46.9 million or
31.2%, reducing total land-related exposure including OREO to
$103.2 million at December 31, 2009. Including OREO,
the condominium portfolio was reduced by $12.8 million
during 2009, representing a 74.3% decline since
December 31, 2008 to stand at $4.4 million at
December 31, 2009.
The allowance for loan losses was $104.7 million at both
December 31, 2009 and 2008. For 2009, net charge-offs
totaled $66.9 million compared to $32.6 million during
2008, an increase of $34.3 million due to continued
economic deterioration in Florida, and to some extent, the
slowing economy in Pennsylvania. The total net charge-offs for
2009 include $43.8 million related to the Florida loan
portfolio. Additionally, during 2009, the Corporation provided
$35.1 million to the reserve related to Florida, bringing
the total allowance for loan losses for the Florida portfolio to
$19.8 million or 8.11% of total loans in that portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing
loans decreased slightly from 72.99% as of December 31,
2008 to 71.92% as of December 31, 2009. While the allowance
for loan losses remained constant at $104.7 million,
non-performing loans increased $2.0 million or 1.4% over
the same period. The reduction in the allowance coverage of
non-performing loans relates to the nature of the loans that
were added to non-performing status which were supported to a
large extent by real estate collateral at current valuations and
therefore did not require a 100% reserve allocation given the
estimated loss exposure on the loans.
The allowance for loan losses ended 2009 flat with 2008 as
specific reserves established in 2008 on several sizable Florida
credits were released when the credits were charged down during
2009. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2009
included $19.8 million or 18.9% of the total related to the
Corporation’s Florida loan portfolio. Net charge-offs
increased $34.3 million or 105.2%, with the Florida loan
portfolio comprising $28.8 million of that total increase.
The allowance for loan losses increased $51.9 million
during 2008 representing a 98.3% increase in reserves for loan
losses between December 31, 2007 and December 31,
2008, due to higher net charge-offs, additional specific
reserves and increased allocations for a weaker environment. The
significant increase primarily reflects continued deterioration
in Florida, and to a much lesser extent, the slowing economy in
Pennsylvania. The allowance for loan losses at December 31,
2008 included $28.5 million or 27.2% of the total relating
to the Corporation’s Florida loan portfolio. Net
charge-offs increased $20.1 million or 161.1% reflecting
higher loan charge-offs, including $15.0 million in
charge-offs in the Florida market during 2008.
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were $3.6 million
and $8.0 million of loans, respectively, that were impaired
loans acquired with no associated allowance for loan losses as
they were accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic
310-30,
Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with
Deteriorated Credit Quality.
Following is a summary of the allocation of the allowance for
loan losses (dollars in thousands):
The amount of the allowance allocated to consumer lines of
credit increased in 2010 due to loan growth in the
Corporation’s HELOC portfolio, while the amount of
allowance allocated to the commercial portfolio increased during
the year due to loan growth in the Pennsylvania’s
commercial and industrial portfolio, which was somewhat offset
by the utilization of reserves held against the
Corporation’s Florida portfolio in conjunction with the
$19.4 million in charge-offs that occurred within that
portfolio during 2010.
The amount of the allowance allocated to commercial loans
decreased in 2009 due to the utilization of specific reserves on
certain Florida loans in conjunction with the $43.8 million
in charge-offs within that portfolio that occurred during 2009.
The amount of the allowance allocated to commercial loans
increased in 2008 primarily due to increased asset quality
deterioration and allocations for a weaker environment,
primarily a result of the continued deterioration in the Florida
market with $28.5 million of the commercial allowance for
the Florida portfolio.
The amount of the allowance allocated to commercial loans
increased in 2007 due to a combination of the increased loan
balance and the additional $2.0 million in specific
reserves recorded in relation to a developer relationship in the
Florida market.
Investment
Activity
Investment activities serve to enhance net interest income while
supporting interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions.
Securities purchased with the intent and ability to hold until
maturity are categorized as securities held to maturity and
carried at amortized cost. All other securities are categorized
as securities available for sale and are recorded at fair value.
Securities, like loans, are subject to similar interest rate and
credit risk. In addition, by their nature, securities classified
as available for sale are also subject to fair value risks that
could negatively affect the level of liquidity available to the
Corporation, as well as stockholders’ equity. A change in
the value of securities held to maturity could also negatively
affect the level of stockholders’ equity if there was a
decline in the underlying creditworthiness of the issuers and an
OTTI is deemed to have occurred or a change in the
Corporation’s intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity.
As of December 31, 2010, securities totaling
$738.1 million and $940.5 million were classified as
available for sale and held to maturity, respectively. During
2010, securities available for sale increased by
$22.8 million while securities held to maturity increased
by $165.2 million from December 31, 2009.
The following table indicates the respective maturities and
weighted-average yields of securities as of December 31,
2010 (dollars in thousands):
Obligations of U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies:

The weighted average yields for tax-exempt securities are
computed on a tax equivalent basis using the federal statutory
tax rate of 35.0%. The weighted average yields for securities
available for sale are based on amortized cost.
For additional information relating to investment activity, see
the Securities footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which is included in Item 8 of this Report.
Deposits
and Short-Term Borrowings
As a bank holding company, the Corporation’s primary source
of funds is deposits. These deposits are provided by businesses,
municipalities and individuals located within the markets served
by the Corporation’s Community Banking subsidiary.
Total deposits increased $265.9 million to
$6.6 billion at December 31, 2010 compared to
December 31, 2009, primarily as a result of an increase in
transaction accounts, which is comprised of non-interest
bearing, savings and NOW accounts (which includes money market
deposit accounts), which was partially offset by a decline in
certificates of deposit. The increase in transaction accounts is
a result of the Corporation’s ability to capitalize on
competitor disruption in the marketplace, with ongoing marketing
campaigns designed to attract new customers to the
Corporation’s local approach to banking. Certificates of
deposit are down by design reflecting the Corporation’s
continuing strategy to focus on growing transaction accounts.
Short-term borrowings, made up of treasury management accounts
(also referred to as securities sold under repurchase
agreements), federal funds purchased, subordinated notes and
other short-term borrowings, increased by $84.4 million to
$753.6 million at December 31, 2010 compared to
$669.2 million at December 31,
2009. This increase is primarily the result of increases of
$75.1 million and $9.5 million in treasury management
accounts and subordinated notes, respectively. The increase in
treasury management accounts is the result of the
Corporation’s strong growth in new commercial client
relationships.
Treasury management accounts are the largest component of
short-term borrowings. The treasury management accounts, which
have next day maturities, are sweep accounts utilized by larger
commercial customers to earn interest on their funds. At
December 31, 2010 and 2009, treasury management accounts
represented 81.2% and 80.2%, respectively, of total short-term
borrowings.

treasury management accounts (dollars in thousands):

borrowings, see the Deposits and Short-Term Borrowings footnotes

Capital
Resources
The access to, and cost of, funding for new business
initiatives, including acquisitions, the ability to engage in
expanded business activities, the ability to pay dividends, the
level of deposit insurance costs and the level and nature of
regulatory oversight depend, in part, on the Corporation’s
capital position.
The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of
factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance,
changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The
Corporation seeks to maintain a strong capital base to support
its growth and expansion activities, to provide stability to
current operations and to promote public confidence.
The Corporation has an effective shelf registration statement
filed with the SEC. Pursuant to this registration statement, the
Corporation may, from time to time, issue and sell in one or
more offerings any combination of common stock, preferred stock,
debt securities or TPS. As of December 31, 2010, the
Corporation has issued 24,150,000 common shares in a public
equity offering.
Capital management is a continuous process with capital plans
for the Corporation and FNBPA updated annually. Both the
Corporation and FNBPA are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by federal banking agencies. For
additional information, see the Regulatory Matters footnote in
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is
included in Item 8 of this Report. From time to time, the
Corporation issues shares initially acquired by the Corporation
as treasury stock under its various benefit plans. The
Corporation may continue to grow through acquisitions, which can
potentially impact its capital position. The Corporation may
issue additional common stock in order maintain its
well-capitalized status.

Market Risk section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which is

Report of
Management on F.N.B. Corporation’s Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
February 25, 2011
F.N.B. Corporation’s (the Company) internal control over
financial reporting is a process effected by the board of
directors, management, and other personnel, designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable
financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. An entity’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and the board of directors; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and
correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of
the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting. Management
assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010
based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework. Based on that
assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31,
2010 the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting is effective based on the criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework.
Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public
accounting firm, has issued an audit report on the
Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
F.N.B.
Corporation
/s/Stephen J. Gurgovits
Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
F.N.B. Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
F.N.B. Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010
and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of F.N.B. Corporation and subsidiaries at
December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
F.N.B. Corporation and subsidiaries internal controls over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on
criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 2011
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
/s/Ernst & Young LLP
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
We have audited F.N.B. Corporation and subsidiaries’
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(the COSO criteria). F.N.B. Corporation and subsidiaries’
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
included in the accompanying Report of Management on F.N.B.
Corporation’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
company’s internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, F.N.B. Corporation and subsidiaries maintained,
in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the
COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of F.N.B. Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the
related statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2010 of F.N.B. Corporation and subsidiaries
and our report dated February 25, 2011 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Nature of
Operations
The Corporation is a diversified financial services company
headquartered in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. Its primary businesses
include community banking, consumer finance, wealth management
and insurance. The Corporation also conducts leasing and
merchant banking activities. The Corporation operates its
community banking business through a full service branch network
in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Corporation operates its wealth
management and insurance businesses within the existing branch
network. It also conducts selected consumer finance business in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Basis of
Presentation
The Corporation’s accompanying consolidated financial
statements and these notes to the financial statements include
subsidiaries in which the Corporation has a controlling
financial interest. The Corporation owns and operates First
National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNBPA), First National
Trust Company, First National Investment Services Company,
LLC, F.N.B. Investment Advisors, Inc., First National Insurance
Agency, LLC, Regency Finance Company (Regency), F.N.B. Capital
Corporation, LLC and Bank Capital Services, LLC, and includes
results for each of these entities in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, to
fairly reflect the Corporation’s financial position and
results of operations in accordance with GAAP. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current period presentation. Events occurring subsequent
to the date of the balance sheet have been evaluated for
potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated
financial statements through the date of the filing of the
consolidated financial statements with the SEC.
Use of
Estimates
The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform
with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
materially differ from those estimates. Material estimates that
are particularly susceptible to significant changes include the
allowance for loan losses, securities valuation, goodwill and
other intangible assets and income taxes.
Business
Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the
acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business
Combinations. Under the acquisition method, identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling
interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date are measured at
their fair values as of that date, and are recognized separately
from goodwill. Results of operations of the acquired entities
are included in the consolidated statement of income from the
date of acquisition.
Cash
Equivalents
The Corporation considers cash and demand balances due from
banks as cash and cash equivalents.
Securities
Investment securities, which consist of debt securities and
certain equity securities, comprise a significant portion of the
Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet. Such securities
can be classified as “trading,” “securities held
to maturity” or “securities available for sale.”
Securities are classified as trading securities when management
intends to sell such securities in the near term and are carried
at fair value, with unrealized gains (losses) reflected through
the consolidated statement of income. The Corporation acquired
securities in conjunction with the Omega and IRGB acquisitions
that the Corporation classified as trading securities. The
Corporation both acquired and sold these trading securities
during the quarters of 2008 in which the acquisitions occurred.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation did not
hold any trading securities.
Securities held to maturity are comprised of debt securities,
for which management has the positive intent and ability to hold
such securities until their maturity. Such securities are
carried at cost, adjusted for related amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts through interest income from
securities, and OTTI, if any.
Securities that are not classified as trading or held to
maturity are classified as available for sale. The
Corporation’s available for sale securities portfolio is
comprised of debt securities and marketable equity securities.
Such securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized
gains and losses deemed to be temporary and unrealized losses
deemed to be
other-than-temporary
and attributable to non-credit factors reported separately as a
component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. Realized
gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities
and credit-related OTTI charges are recorded within non-interest
income in the consolidated statement of income. Realized gains
and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the
specific-identification method.
The Corporation evaluates its investment securities portfolio
for OTTI on a quarterly basis. Impairment is assessed at the
individual security level. The Corporation considers an
investment security impaired if the fair value of the security
is less than its cost or amortized cost basis.
When impairment of an equity security is considered to be
other-than-temporary,
the security is written down to its fair value and an impairment
loss is recorded as a loss within non-interest income in the
consolidated statement of income. When impairment of a debt
security is considered to be
other-than-temporary,
the amount of the OTTI recorded as a loss within non-interest
income and thereby recognized in earnings depends on whether the
Corporation intends to sell the security or whether it is more
likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell
the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.
If the Corporation intends to sell the debt security or more
likely than not will be required to sell the security before
recovery of its amortized cost basis, OTTI shall be recognized
in earnings equal to the entire difference between the
investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value.
If the Corporation does not intend to sell the debt security and
it is not more likely than not the Corporation will be required
to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost
basis, OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing
credit loss and the amount related to all other market factors.
The amount related to credit loss shall be recognized in
earnings. The amount related to other market factors shall be
recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable
taxes.
The Corporation performs its OTTI evaluation process in a
consistent and systematic manner and includes an evaluation of
all available evidence. Documentation of the process is as
extensive as necessary to support a conclusion as to whether a
decline in fair value below cost or amortized cost is
other-than-temporary
and includes documentation supporting both observable and
unobservable inputs and a rationale for conclusions reached. In
making these determinations for pooled TPS, the Corporation
consults with third-party advisory firms to provide additional
valuation assistance.
This process considers factors such as the severity, length of
time and anticipated recovery period of the impairment,
recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to
the balance sheet date, recent events specific to the issuer,
including investment downgrades by rating agencies and economic
conditions in its industry, and the issuer’s financial
condition, repayment capacity, capital strength and near-term
prospects.
For debt securities, the Corporation also considers the payment
structure of the debt security, the likelihood of the issuer
being able to make future payments, failure of the issuer of the
security to make scheduled interest and principal payments,
whether the Corporation has made a decision to sell the security
and whether the Corporation’s cash or working capital
requirements or contractual or regulatory obligations indicate
that the debt security will be required to be sold before a
forecasted recovery occurs. For equity securities, the
Corporation also considers its intent and ability to retain the
security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery
in fair value. Among the factors that the Corporation considers
in determining its intent and ability to retain the security is
a review of its capital adequacy, interest rate risk position
and liquidity. The assessment of a security’s ability to
recover any decline in fair value, the ability of the issuer to
meet contractual obligations, the Corporation’s intent and
ability to retain the security, and whether it is more likely
than not the Corporation will be required to sell the security
before recovery of its amortized cost basis require considerable
judgment.
Securities
Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for
as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the
amounts at which the securities were sold plus accrued interest.
Securities, generally U.S. government and federal agency
securities, pledged as collateral under these financing
arrangements cannot be sold or repledged by the secured party.
The fair value of collateral either received from or provided to
a third party is continually monitored and additional collateral
is obtained or is requested to be returned to the Corporation as
deemed appropriate.
Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
From time to time, the Corporation may enter into derivative
transactions principally to protect against the risk of adverse
price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets
and liabilities and on future cash flows. The Corporation
formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments
and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and
strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. All derivative
instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet in
accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 815,
Derivatives and Hedging.
Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value
of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either a
freestanding asset or liability, with a corresponding offset
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within
stockholders’ equity, net of tax. Amounts are reclassified
from accumulated other comprehensive income to the consolidated
statement of income in the period or periods in which the hedged
transaction affects earnings.
Derivative gains and losses under cash flow hedges not effective
in hedging the change in fair value or expected cash flows of
the hedged item are recognized immediately in the consolidated
statement of income. At the hedge’s inception and at least
quarterly thereafter, a formal assessment is performed to
determine whether changes in the fair values or cash flows of
the derivative instruments have been highly effective in
offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged
items and whether they are expected to be highly effective in
the future. If it is determined a derivative instrument has not
been or will not continue to be highly effective as a hedge,
hedge accounting is discontinued. The Corporation did not enter
into any transactions qualifying as hedging instruments during
2010.
The Corporation periodically enters into interest rate swap
agreements to meet the financing, interest rate and equity risk
management needs of its commercial loan customers. These
agreements provide the customer the ability to convert from
variable to fixed interest rates. The Corporation then enters
into positions with a derivative
counterparty in order to offset its exposure on the variable and
fixed components of the customer agreements. These agreements
meet the definition of derivatives, but are not designated in
formal hedging relationships. These instruments and their
offsetting positions are reported gross at fair value in other
assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet
with any resulting gain or loss recorded in current period
earnings as other income. The Corporation does not net cash
collateral with the fair value of derivative instruments.
Mortgage
Loans Held for Sale and Loan Commitments
Certain residential mortgage loans are originated for sale in
the secondary mortgage loan market and typically sold with
servicing rights released. These loans are classified as loans
held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or estimated
market value on an aggregate basis. Market value is determined
on the basis of rates obtained in the respective secondary
market for the type of loan held for sale. Loans are generally
sold at a premium or discount from the carrying amount of the
loan. Such premium or discount is recognized at the date of
sale. Gain or loss on the sale of loans is recorded in
non-interest income at the time consideration is received and
all other criteria for sales treatment have been met.
The Corporation routinely issues commitments to make loans as a
part of its residential lending operations. These commitments
are considered derivatives. The Corporation also enters into
commitments to sell loans to mitigate the risk that the market
value of residential loans may decline between the time the rate
commitment is issued to the customer and the time the
Corporation contracts to sell the loan. These commitments and
sales contracts are also derivatives. Both types of derivatives
are recorded at fair value. Sales contracts and commitments to
sell loans are not designated as hedges of the fair value of
loans held for sale. Fair value adjustments related to
derivatives are recorded in current period earnings as an
adjustment to net gains on sale of loans.
Loans and
the Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans are reported at their principal amount outstanding net of
unearned income, unamortized premiums or discounts, acquisition
fair value adjustments and any deferred origination fees or
costs.
Interest income on loans is accrued on the principal
outstanding. It is the Corporation’s policy to discontinue
interest accruals generally when principal or interest is due
and has remained unpaid for 90 days or more unless the loan
is both well secured and in the process of collection. When a
loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest is
reversed. Payments on non-accrual loans are generally applied to
either principal or interest or both, depending on
management’s evaluation of collectibility. Consumer
installment loans are generally charged off against the
allowance for loan losses upon reaching 120 to 180 days
past due, depending on the loan type. Commercial loan
charges-offs, either in whole or in part, are generally made as
soon as facts and circumstances raise a serious doubt as to the
collectibility of all or a portion of the principal. Loan
origination fees and related costs are deferred and recognized
over the life of the loans as an adjustment of yield in interest
income.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that, in
management’s judgment, is believed adequate to absorb
probable losses associated with specifically identified loans,
as well as estimated probable credit losses inherent in the
remainder of the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The
allowance for loan losses is based on management’s
evaluation of potential loan losses in the loan portfolio, which
includes an assessment of past experience, current economic
conditions in specific industries and geographic areas, general
economic conditions, known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio, the estimated value of underlying collateral and
residuals and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio.
Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it
requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing
of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated
losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss
experience and consideration of current environmental factors
and economic trends, all of which are susceptible to significant
change. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance when
the loss actually occurs or when a determination is made that a
loss is probable while recoveries of amounts previously charged
off are credited to the allowance. A provision for credit
losses is recorded based on management’s periodic
evaluation of the factors previously mentioned as well as other
pertinent factors. Evaluations are conducted at least quarterly
and more often as deemed necessary.
Management estimates the allowance for loan losses pursuant to
ASC Topic 310 and ASC Topic 450. Larger balance commercial and
commercial real estate loans that are considered impaired as
defined in ASC Topic 310 are reviewed individually to assess the
likelihood and severity of loss exposure. Loans subject to
individual review are, where appropriate, reserved for according
to the present value of expected future cash flows available to
repay the loan, or the estimated fair value less estimated
selling costs of the collateral. Commercial loans excluded from
individual assessment, as well as smaller balance homogeneous
loans, such as consumer, residential real estate and home equity
loans, are evaluated for loss exposure under ASC Topic 450 based
upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of
loans. Historical loss rates for each of these loan categories
may be adjusted to reflect management’s estimates of the
impacts of current economic conditions, trends in delinquencies
and non-performing loans, volume, concentrations and mergers and
acquisitions, as well as changes in credit underwriting and
approval requirements. The accrual of interest on impaired loans
is discontinued when the loan is 90 to 180 days past due or
in management’s opinion the account should be placed on
non-accrual status (loans partially charged off are immediately
placed on non-accrual status). When interest accrual is
discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed against
interest income. Interest income is subsequently recognized only
to the extent that cash payments are received.
Acquired
Loans
Any loans acquired through the completion of a transfer,
including loans acquired in a business combination, that have
evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination
and for which it is probable at acquisition, that the
Corporation will be unable to collect all contractually required
payments receivable, are initially recorded at fair value (as
determined by the present value of expected future cash flows)
with no valuation allowance. The difference between the
undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the
investment in the loan, or the “accretable yield,” is
recognized as interest income on a level-yield method over the
life of the loan. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to
the initial investment are recognized prospectively through
adjustment of the yield on the loan over its remaining life.
Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment.
Valuation allowances on these impaired loans reflect only losses
incurred after the acquisition.
Premises
and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the asset’s estimated useful life. Leasehold
improvements are expensed over the lesser of the asset’s
estimated useful life or the term of the lease including renewal
periods when reasonably assured. Useful lives are dependent upon
the nature and condition of the asset and range from 3 to
40 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred, while major improvements are capitalized and amortized
to operating expense over the identified useful life.
Other
Real Estate Owned
OREO is comprised principally of commercial and residential real
estate properties obtained in partial or total satisfaction of
loan obligations. OREO acquired in settlement of indebtedness is
included in other assets initially at the lower of estimated
fair value of the asset less estimated selling costs or the
carrying amount of the loan. Changes to the value subsequent to
transfer are recorded in non-interest expense along with direct
operating expenses. Gains or losses not previously recognized
resulting from sales of OREO are recognized in non-interest
expense on the date of sale.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition
over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible
assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance
but can be distinguished from
goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights.
Intangible assets that have finite lives, such as core deposit
intangibles, customer relationship intangibles and renewal
lists, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and
subject to periodic impairment testing. Core deposit intangibles
are primarily amortized over ten years using straight line and
accelerated methods. Customer and renewal lists and other
intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful
lives which range from ten to twelve years.
Goodwill and other intangibles are subject to impairment testing
at the reporting unit level, which must be conducted at least
annually. The Corporation performs impairment testing during the
fourth quarter of each year. Due to ongoing uncertainty
regarding market conditions surrounding the banking industry,
the Corporation continues to monitor goodwill and other
intangibles for impairment and to evaluate carrying amounts, as
necessary. Based on the results of testing performed, the
Corporation concluded that no impairment existed at
December 31, 2010. However, future events could cause the
Corporation to conclude that goodwill or other intangibles have
become impaired, which would result in recording an impairment
loss. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material
adverse impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and
result of operations.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under the first
step of the goodwill impairment test and determining the fair
value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit
under the second step of the goodwill impairment test are
judgmental and often involve the use of significant estimates
and assumptions. Similarly, estimates and assumptions are used
in determining the fair value of other intangible assets.
Estimates of fair value are primarily determined using
discounted cash flows, market comparisons and recent
transactions. These approaches use significant estimates and
assumptions including projected future cash flows, discount
rates reflecting the market rate of return, growth rates and
determination and evaluation of appropriate market comparables.
The Corporation and a majority of its subsidiaries file a
consolidated federal income tax return. The provision for
federal and state income taxes is based on income reported on
the consolidated financial statements, rather than the amounts
reported on the respective income tax returns. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are computed using tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those assets and
liabilities are expected to be realized. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities resulting from a change in tax rates
is recognized as income or expense in the period that the change
in tax rates is enacted.
The Corporation makes certain estimates and judgments in
determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes.
These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of
certain tax credits and in the calculation of the deferred
income tax expense or benefit associated with certain deferred
tax assets and liabilities. Significant changes to these
estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the
Corporation’s tax provision in a subsequent period. The
Corporation recognizes interest
and/or
penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
The Corporation assesses the likelihood that it will be able to
recover its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the
Corporation will increase its provision for income taxes by
recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets
that are unlikely to be recovered. The Corporation believes that
it will ultimately recover a substantial majority of the
deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet. However,
should there be a change in the Corporation’s ability to
recover its deferred tax assets, the effect of this change would
be recorded through the provision for income taxes in the period
during which such change occurs.
The Corporation periodically reviews the tax positions it takes
on its tax return and applies a “more likely than not”
recognition threshold for all tax positions that are uncertain.
The amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest
amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being
realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the
“more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is
recorded.
Advertising
and Promotional Costs
Advertising and promotional costs are generally expensed as
incurred.
Per Share
Amounts
Earnings per common share is computed using net income available
to common stockholders, which is net income adjusted for the
preferred stock dividend and discount amortization.
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net
income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding net of unvested
shares of restricted stock.
Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net
income available to common stockholders adjusted for interest
expense on convertible debt by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive
effect of potential common shares issuable for stock options,
warrants, restricted shares and convertible debt, as calculated
using the treasury stock method. Adjustments to the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding are made
only when such adjustments dilute earnings per common share.
Pension
and Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Corporation sponsors pension and other postretirement
benefit plans for its employees. The expense associated with the
plans is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 715,
Compensation - Retirement Benefits. The plans utilize
assumptions and methods determined in accordance with ASC Topic
715, including reflecting trust assets at their fair market
value for the qualified pension plans and recognizing the
overfunded and underfunded status of the plans on its
consolidated balance sheet. Gains and losses, prior service
costs and credits are recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income, net of tax, until they are amortized, or
immediately upon curtailment.
Stock
Based Compensation
The Corporation accounts for its stock based compensation awards
in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock
Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition
of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all
share-based awards, including stock options and restricted
stock, made to employees and directors.
ASC Topic 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of
share-based awards on the date of grant. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is
recognized as expense in the Corporation’s consolidated
statement of income over the shorter of requisite service
periods or the period through the date that the employee first
becomes eligible to retire. Because share-based compensation
expense is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest,
share-based compensation expense has been reduced to account for
estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of
grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Capital
On January 9, 2009, the Corporation received from the UST
under the CPP proceeds of $100,000 in exchange for
100,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and a
warrant to purchase up to 1,302,083 shares of the
Corporation’s common stock.
On June 16, 2009, the Corporation completed a public
offering of 24,150,000 shares of common stock at a price of
$5.50 per share, including 3,150,000 shares of common stock
purchased by the underwriters pursuant to an over-allotment
option, which the underwriters exercised in full. The net
proceeds of the offering after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and offering expenses were $125,784.
On September 9, 2009, the Corporation utilized a portion of
the proceeds of its public offering to redeem all of the
Series C Preferred Stock issued to the UST and to pay the
related final accrued dividend. Since receiving the CPP funds,
the Corporation paid the UST $3,333 in cash dividends. Upon
redemption, the remaining difference of $4,319 between the
Series C Preferred Stock redemption amount and the recorded
amount was charged to retained earnings as non-cash deemed
preferred stock dividends. The non-cash deemed preferred stock
dividends had no impact on total equity, but reduced 2009
earnings per diluted common share by $0.04.
The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of
the warrant that was issued to the UST in association with the
CPP was reduced by one-half to 651,042 shares as a result
of the capital raised in the June 2009 offering. The warrant has
a ten-year term and an exercise price of $11.52 per share.
Disclosure
of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business
Combinations
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
No. 2010-29,
Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for
Business Combinations, to address diversity in practice
concerning pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure
requirements for business combinations. This update specifies
that if a public entity presents comparative financial
statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of
the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that
occurred during the current year had occurred as of the
beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.
The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures
to include a description of the nature and amount of material,
nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the
business combination(s) included in the reported pro forma
revenue and earnings. These requirements are effective
prospectively for business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2010. Adoption of this standard is not anticipated to have a
material effect on the financial statements, results of
operations or liquidity of the Corporation.
Disclosures
about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the
Allowance for Credit Losses
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2010-20,
Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables
and the Allowance for Credit Losses, to provide financial
statement users with greater transparency about credit quality
of financing receivables and allowance for credit losses. This
update requires additional disclosures as of the end of a
reporting period and additional disclosures about activity that
occurs during a reporting period that will assist financial
statement users in assessing credit risk exposures and
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.
The additional disclosures are required to be provided on a
disaggregated basis. ASU
No. 2010-20
defines two levels of disaggregation and provides additional
implementation guidance to determine the appropriate level of
disaggregation of information. The disclosures should facilitate
evaluation of the nature of the credit risk inherent in a
portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed
and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and
the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for
credit losses.
The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or
after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity
that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning on or after
December 15, 2010. Disclosures required by this standard
did not have a material effect on the financial statements,
results of operations or liquidity of the Corporation.
Modification
of a Loan That is Part of a Pool That is Accounted for as a
Single Asset
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2010-18,
Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool
That is Accounted for as a Single Asset. ASU
No. 2010-18
provides that modifications of acquired loans with
deteriorated credit quality that are accounted for within a pool
do not result in removal of those loans from the pool even if
the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a
troubled asset restructuring.
ASU No. 2010-18
is effective for modifications occurring in the first interim or
annual reporting period ending on or after July 15, 2010.
Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the
financial statements, results of operations or liquidity of the
Corporation.
Fair
Value Disclosures
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2010-06,
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The
ASU clarifies existing disclosure requirements and requires
additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This
standard clarifies that an entity should provide fair value
disclosures by class rather than major category of assets and
liabilities, resulting in a greater level of disaggregated
information presented in all fair value disclosures. ASU
2010-06 also
clarifies that, for fair value measurements using significant
other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3), an entity is required to
describe valuation techniques and the inputs used in determining
the fair values of each class of assets and liabilities and to
disclose a change in valuation technique and the reason for
making that change. Additionally, the ASU requires an entity to
discuss the reasons for transfers in or out of Level 3 and,
if significant, to disclose these transfers on a gross basis, to
disclose on a gross basis the amounts and reasons for
significant transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 of
the fair value hierarchy, and to disclose its policy for
determining when transfers between Levels are recognized. This
standard was effective for interim and annual reporting periods
that began after December 15, 2009. Adoption of this
standard did not have a material effect on the financial
statements, results of operations or liquidity of the
Corporation.
On January 1, 2011, the Corporation completed its
acquisition of Comm Bancorp, Inc. (CBI), a bank holding company
based in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. On the acquisition date,
CBI had $625,570 in assets, which included $445,271 in loans,
and $561,775 in deposits. The transaction, valued at $75,547,
resulted in the Corporation paying $17,203 in cash and issuing
5,941,287 shares of its common stock in exchange for
1,719,978 shares of CBI common stock. CBI’s banking
affiliate, Community Bank and Trust Company, was merged
into FNBPA on January 1, 2011. The Corporation has not yet
finalized its determination of the fair values of acquired
assets and liabilities relating to the CBI acquisition.
On August 16, 2008, the Corporation completed its
acquisition of IRGB, a bank holding company based in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. On the acquisition date, IRGB had $301,727 in
assets, which included $168,638 in loans, and $252,584 in
deposits. The transaction, valued at $83,725, resulted in the
Corporation paying $36,722 in cash and issuing
3,176,990 shares of its common stock in exchange for
1,125,026 shares of IRGB common stock. The assets and
liabilities of IRGB were recorded on the Corporation’s
balance sheet at their fair values as of August 16, 2008,
the acquisition date, and IRGB’s results of operations have
been included in the Corporation’s consolidated statement
of income since that date. IRGB’s banking subsidiary, Iron
and Glass Bank, was merged into FNBPA on August 16, 2008.
Based on the purchase price allocation, the Corporation recorded
$47,645 in goodwill and $3,551 in core deposit intangible as a
result of the acquisition. None of the goodwill is deductible
for income tax purposes.
On April 1, 2008, the Corporation completed its acquisition
of Omega, a diversified financial services company based in
State College, Pennsylvania. On the acquisition date, Omega had
$1,851,501 in assets, which included $1,074,856 in loans, and
$1,291,483 in deposits. The all-stock transaction, valued at
approximately $388,176, resulted in the Corporation issuing
25,362,525 shares of its common stock in exchange for
12,544,150 shares of Omega common stock. The assets and
liabilities of Omega were recorded on the Corporation’s
balance sheet at their fair values as of April 1, 2008, the
acquisition date, and Omega’s results of operations have
been included in the Corporation’s consolidated statement
of income since that date. Omega’s banking subsidiary,
Omega Bank, was merged into FNBPA on April 1, 2008. Based
on the purchase price allocation, the Corporation recorded
$237,657 in goodwill and $31,191 in core deposit and other
intangibles as a result of the acquisition. None of the goodwill
is deductible for income tax purposes.
The assets and liabilities of these acquired entities were
recorded on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values as
of their respective acquisition dates. The consolidated
financial statements include the results of operations of these
entities from their respective dates of acquisition.
The Corporation recorded merger charges of $620 in 2010
associated with the acquisition of CBI. Additionally, the
Corporation recorded merger and integration charges of $4,724 in
2008 associated with the acquisitions of Omega and IRGB.
The following table shows the calculation of the purchase price
and the resulting goodwill relating to the Omega acquisition:
Fair value of stock issued and stock options assumed
Fair value of:
Tangible assets acquired

The following unaudited summary financial information presents
the consolidated results of operations of the Corporation for
the year ended December 31, 2008 on a pro forma basis, as
if the Omega acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2008:
Net interest income after provision for loan losses
Non-interest income
Non-interest expense
Income before taxes
Income taxes
Net income per common share
Basic
Diluted
The pro forma results include the amortization of the fair value
adjustments on loans, deposits and debt and the amortization of
the newly created intangible assets and post-merger acquisition
related expenses. The pro forma results for 2008 also include
$3,900 pre-tax for certain non-recurring items, including
personnel expense for retention bonuses and severance payments.
The pro forma results do not reflect cost savings or revenue
enhancements that were anticipated from the acquisition, and are
not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred
if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of
2008, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated
results. Actual results of operations of the Corporation for the
periods after the acquisition are included in the
Corporation’s consolidated statement of income provided
elsewhere in this Report.
Due to the immateriality of the IRGB acquisition, it has not
been included in the pro forma financial information presented
above.
The amortized cost and fair value of securities are as follows:

Securities Held To Maturity:
The Corporation classifies securities as trading securities when
management intends to sell such securities in the near term and
are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains (losses)
reflected through the consolidated statement of income. The
Corporation acquired securities in conjunction with the Omega
and IRGB acquisitions that the Corporation classified as trading
securities. The Corporation both acquired and sold these trading
securities during the quarters of 2008 in which the acquisitions
occurred. As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the
Corporation did not hold any trading securities.
The Corporation recognized a gain of $2,291 during 2010 relating
to the sale of a $6,016 U.S. government agency security and
$52,625 of mortgage backed securities. These securities were
sold to better position the balance sheet for the future.
Additionally, the Corporation recognized gains of $669 and $322
during 2010 and 2009, respectively, relating to other securities
that were sold or called during that period. The Corporation
also recognized a gain of $206 during 2009 relating to the
acquisition of a company in which the Corporation owned stock.
No securities were sold at a loss during 2010.
Gross gains and gross losses were realized on sales of
securities as follows:

As of December 31, 2010, the amortized cost and fair value
of securities, by contractual maturities, were as follows:
Due in one year or less
Due from one to five years
Due from five to ten years
Due after ten years
Maturities may differ from contractual terms because borrowers
may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without
penalties. Periodic payments are received on residential
mortgage-backed securities based on the payment patterns of the
underlying collateral.
At December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, securities with a
carrying value of $651,299, $598,078 and $670,234, respectively,
were pledged to secure public deposits, trust deposits and for
other purposes as required by law. Securities with a carrying
value of $676,083, $616,000 and $584,995 at December 31,
2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were pledged as collateral
for short-term borrowings.
Following are summaries of the fair values and unrealized losses
of securities, segregated by length of impairment:
U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government agencies and corporations
Residential mortgage-backed securities:
Agency collateralized mortgage obligations
States of the U.S. and political subdivisions
Collateralized debt obligations
Other debt securities
Equity securities
Agency mortgage-backed securities
Non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations
As of December 31, 2010, securities with unrealized losses
for less than 12 months include 9 investments in
U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government agencies and
corporations, 20 investments in residential mortgage-backed
securities (14 investments in agency mortgage-backed securities,
5 investments in agency collateralized mortgage obligations
(CMOs) and 1 investment in non-agency CMOs), 41 investments in
states of the U.S. and political subdivision securities and
1 investment in other debt securities. Securities with
unrealized losses of greater than 12 months include 2
investments in residential mortgage-backed securities
(non-agency CMOs), 1 investment in states of the U.S. and
political subdivision securities, 13 investments in
collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), 6 investments in
other debt securities and 3 investments in equity securities.
The Corporation does not intend to sell the debt securities and
it is not more likely than not the Corporation will be required
to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost
basis.
The Corporation’s unrealized losses on CDOs primarily
relate to investments in TPS. The Corporation’s portfolio
of TPS consists of single-issuer and pooled securities. The
single-issuer securities are primarily from money-center and
large regional banks. The pooled securities consist of
securities issued primarily by banks, with some of the pools
including a limited number of insurance companies. Investments
in pooled securities are all in mezzanine tranches except for
one investment in a senior tranche, and are secured by
over-collateralization or default protection provided by
subordinated tranches. The non-credit portion of unrealized
losses on investments in TPS are attributable to temporary
illiquidity and the uncertainty affecting these markets, as well
as changes in interest rates.
Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment
Debt securities with credit ratings below AA at the time of
purchase that are repayment-sensitive securities are evaluated
using the guidance of ASC Topic 325, Investments -
Other. All other securities are required to be evaluated
under ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt Securities.
The Corporation invested in TPS issued by special purpose
vehicles (SPVs) which hold pools of collateral consisting of
trust preferred and subordinated debt securities issued by
banks, bank holding companies and insurance companies. The
securities issued by the SPVs are generally segregated into
several classes known as tranches. Typically, the structure
includes senior, mezzanine and equity tranches. The equity
tranche represents the first loss position. The Corporation
generally holds interests in mezzanine tranches. Interest and
principal collected from the collateral held by the SPVs are
distributed with a priority that provides the highest level of
protection to the senior-most tranches. In order to provide a
high level of protection to the senior tranches, cash flows are
diverted to higher-level tranches if certain tests are not met.
The Corporation prices its holdings of TPS using Level 3
inputs in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures, and guidance issued by the
SEC. In this regard, the Corporation evaluates current available
information in estimating the future cash flows of these
securities and determines whether there have been favorable or
adverse changes in estimated cash flows from the cash flows
previously projected. The Corporation considers the structure
and term of the pool and the financial condition of the
underlying issuers. Specifically, the evaluation incorporates
factors such as over-collateralization and interest coverage
tests, interest rates and appropriate risk premiums, the timing
and amount of interest and principal payments and the allocation
of payments to the various tranches. Current estimates of cash
flows are based on the most recent trustee reports,
announcements of deferrals or defaults, and assumptions
regarding expected future default rates, prepayment and recovery
rates and other relevant information. In constructing these
assumptions, the Corporation considers the following:
The primary evidence utilized by the Corporation is the level of
current deferrals and defaults, the level of excess
subordination that allows for receipt of full principal and
interest, the credit rating for each security and the likelihood
that future deferrals and defaults will occur at a level that
will fully erode the excess subordination based on an assessment
of the underlying collateral. The Corporation combines the
results of these factors considered in estimating the future
cash flows of these securities to determine whether there has
been an adverse change in estimated cash flows from the cash
flows previously projected.
The Corporation’s portfolio of trust preferred CDOs
consists of 13 pooled issues and seven single issue securities
consisting of only four issuers. One of the pooled issues is a
senior tranche; the remaining 12 are mezzanine tranches. At
December 31, 2010, the 13 pooled TPS had an estimated fair
value of $8,328 while single-
issuer TPS had an estimated fair value of $12,533. The
Corporation has concluded from the analysis performed at
December 31, 2010 that it is probable that the Corporation
will collect all contractual principal and interest payments on
all of its single-issuer and pooled TPS, except for those on
which OTTI was recognized.
Upon adoption of ASC Topic 320, the Corporation determined that
$7,021 of previously recorded OTTI charges were non-credit
related. As such, a $4,563 (net of $2,458 of taxes) increase to
retained earnings and a corresponding decrease to accumulated
other comprehensive income were recorded as the cumulative
effect of adopting ASC Topic 320 as of April 1, 2009.
The Corporation recognized impairment losses on securities of
$2,339, $7,893 and $17,189 for the years ended December 31,
2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, due to the write-down to fair
value of securities that the Corporation deemed to be
other-than-temporarily
impaired. Impairment losses related to bank stocks for the years
ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $58,
$735 and $1,152, respectively. For the year ended
December 31, 2010, impairment losses on pooled TPS amounted
to $9,532, which includes $7,251 ($4,713, net of tax) for
non-credit related impairment losses recognized directly in
other comprehensive income and $2,281 of credit-related
impairment losses recognized in earnings. For the year ended
December 31, 2009, impairment losses on pooled TPS amounted
to $24,497, which includes $17,339 ($11,270, net of tax) for
non-credit related impairment losses recognized directly in
other comprehensive income and $7,158 of credit-related
impairment losses recognized in earnings. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, impairment losses on pooled TPS amounted
to $16,037.
The $58 in impairment losses on bank stocks during 2010 relate
to securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for
an extended period of time or the percentage of unrealized loss
is such that management believes it will be unlikely to recover
in the near term. In accordance with GAAP, management has deemed
these impairments to be
other-than-temporary
given the low likelihood that they will recover in value in the
foreseeable future. At December 31, 2010, the Corporation
held 14 bank stocks with an adjusted cost basis of $1,841 and
fair value of $2,158.
At December 31, 2010, all 12 of the pooled TPS on which
OTTI has been recognized are classified as non-performing
investments.
The following table presents a summary of the cumulative
credit-related OTTI charges recognized as components of earnings
for securities for which a portion of an OTTI is recognized in
other comprehensive income:
Beginning balance of the amount related to credit loss for which
a portion of OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income
Amount of OTTI related to credit loss on April 1, 2009(1)
Additions related to credit loss for securities with previously
recognized OTTI
Additions related to credit loss for securities with initial OTTI
Ending balance of the amount related to credit loss for which a
portion of OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income
TPS continue to experience price volatility as the secondary
market for such securities remains limited. Write-downs were
based on the individual securities’ credit performance and
its ability to make its contractual principal and interest
payments. Should credit quality deteriorate to a greater extent
than projected, it is possible that additional write-downs may
be required. The Corporation monitors actual deferrals and
defaults as well as expected future deferrals and defaults to
determine if there is a high probability for expected losses and
contractual shortfalls of interest or principal, which could
warrant further impairment. The Corporation evaluates its entire
portfolio each quarter to determine if additional write-downs
are warranted.

The Corporation’s municipal bond portfolio of $195,948 is
highly rated with an average rating of AA. Ninety-seven percent
of the portfolio is rated A or better. General obligation bonds
comprise 97% of the portfolio. Geographically, these holdings
support the Corporation’s footprint as 71% of the
securities are from municipalities located throughout
Pennsylvania. The average holding size of the securities in the
municipal bond portfolio is $850. Finally, this portfolio is
supported by underlying insurance as 84% of the securities have
credit support.
Non-Agency
CMOs
The Corporation purchased $161,151 of non-agency CMOs from 2003
through 2005. These securities, which are classified as held to
maturity, have a current book value of $33,950. Paydowns in 2010
amounted to $13,700, an annualized paydown rate of 30.0%, which
includes one AAA-rated holding that was performing well and was
redeemed by the issuer at par during the third quarter. In
addition, one AAA-rated holding with a book value of $1,339 was
sold during the fourth quarter of 2010. The sale was permitted
under ASC Topic 320 since less than 15.0% of the purchase amount
remained. At the time of purchase, these securities were all
rated AAA, with an original average
loan-to-value
(LTV) ratio of 66.1% and original credit score of 724. At
origination, the credit support, or the amount of loss the
collateral pool could absorb before the AAA securities would
incur a credit loss ranged from 1.3% to 7.0%. This credit
support has grown to a range of 4.3% to 19.7%, due to paydowns
and good credit performance through the first half of 2008.
Beginning in the second half of 2008, national delinquencies, an
early warning sign of potential default, began to accelerate on
the collateral pools. The rate of delinquencies in 2010
continued to show a slight upward trend throughout the year. All
CMO holdings are current with regards to principal and interest.
The rating agencies monitor these non-agency CMOs and the
underlying collateral performance for delinquencies,
foreclosures and defaults. They also factor in trends in
bankruptcies and housing values to ultimately arrive at an
expected loss for a given piece of defaulted collateral. Based
on deteriorating performance of the collateral, many of these
types of securities have been downgraded by the rating agencies.
For the Corporation’s portfolio, four of the ten non-agency
CMOs have been downgraded from AAA.
The Corporation determines its credit related losses by running
scenario analysis on the underlying collateral. This analysis
applies default assumptions to delinquencies already in the
pipeline, projects future defaults based in part on the
historical trends for the collateral, applies a rate of severity
and estimates prepayment rates. Because of the limited
historical trends for the collateral, multiple default scenarios
were analyzed including scenarios that significantly elevate
defaults over the next 12 - 18 months. Based on the
results of the analysis, the Corporation’s management has
concluded that there are currently no credit-related losses in
its non-agency CMO portfolio.

Corporation’s non-agency CMOs as of December 31, 2010:

The Corporation is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
of Pittsburgh. The FHLB requires members to purchase and hold a
specified minimum level of FHLB stock based upon their level of
borrowings, collateral balances and participation in other
programs offered by the FHLB. Stock in the FHLB is
non-marketable and is redeemable at the discretion of the FHLB.
Both cash and stock dividends on FHLB stock are reported as
income.
Members do not purchase stock in the FHLB for the same reasons
that traditional equity investors acquire stock in an
investor-owned enterprise. Rather, members purchase stock to
obtain access to the low-cost products and services offered by
the FHLB. Unlike equity securities of traditional for-profit
enterprises, the stock of FHLB does not provide its holders with
an opportunity for capital appreciation because, by regulation,
FHLB stock can only be purchased, redeemed and transferred at
par value.
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation’s FHLB
stock totaled $26,564 and $27,962, respectively, and is included
in other assets on the balance sheet. The Corporation accounts
for the stock in accordance with ASC Topic 325, which requires
the investment to be carried at cost and evaluated for
impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value.
The Corporation periodically evaluates its FHLB investment for
possible impairment based on, among other things, the capital
adequacy of the FHLB and its overall financial condition. The
Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator of the FHLB,
requires it to maintain a total
capital-to-assets
ratio of at least 4.0%. At September 30, 2010, the
FHLB’s capital ratio of 8.3% exceeded the regulatory
requirement. Failure by the FHLB to meet this regulatory capital
requirement would require an in-depth analysis of other factors
including:
At December 31, 2010, the Corporation believes its holdings
in the stock are ultimately recoverable at par value and,
therefore, determined that FHLB stock was not
other-than-temporarily
impaired. In addition, the Corporation has ample liquidity and
does not require redemption of its FHLB stock in the foreseeable
future.
Following is a summary of loans, net of unearned income:
Commercial
Direct installment
Residential mortgages
Indirect installment
Consumer lines of credit
Other
Unearned income on loans was $42,183 and $38,173 at
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The loan portfolio consists principally of loans to individuals
and small- and medium-sized businesses within the
Corporation’s primary market area of Pennsylvania and
northeastern Ohio. The portfolio also includes commercial loans
in Florida, which totaled $195,281 or 3.2% of total loans as of
December 31, 2010 compared to $243,912 or 4.2% of total
loans as of December 31, 2009. In addition, the portfolio
contains consumer finance loans to individuals in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky, which totaled $162,805 or 2.7% of
total loans as of December 31, 2010.
The composition of the Florida loan portfolio consisted of the
following as of December 31, 2010: unimproved residential
land (11.7%), unimproved commercial land (17.4%), improved land
(3.0%), income producing commercial real estate (48.1%),
residential construction (5.8%), commercial construction
(11.3%), commercial and industrial (1.1%) and owner-occupied
(1.6%). The percentage of loans in the Florida portfolio
comprising income producing commercial real estate increased
from December 31, 2009 after an $8.1 million
residential construction loan and an $8.5 million
commercial construction loan were both reclassified to the
income producing segment after the construction phases were
completed and the properties began to lease. The weighted
average
loan-to-value
ratio for this portfolio was 82.0% and 76.8% as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The majority of the Corporation’s loan portfolio consists
of commercial loans. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009,
commercial real estate loans were $2,115,492 and $2,072,126, or
34.7% and 35.4% of total loans, respectively. As of
December 31, 2010, approximately 47.0% of the commercial
real estate loans are owner-occupied, while the remaining 53.0%
are non-owner-occupied. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009,
the Corporation had construction loans of $202,018 and $184,092,
respectively, representing 3.3% and 3.1% of total loans,
respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were
no concentrations of loans relating to any industry in excess of
10% of total loans.
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were $3,626 and $8,011
of loans, respectively, that were impaired loans acquired with
no associated allowance for loan losses as they were accounted
for in accordance with ASC Topic
310-30.
Certain directors and executive officers of the Corporation and
its significant subsidiaries, as well as associates of such
persons, are loan customers. Loans to such persons were made in
the ordinary course of business under normal credit terms and do
not have more than a normal risk of collection. Following is a
summary of the aggregate amount of loans to any such persons who
had loans in excess of $60 during 2010:

changes in related parties during 2010.
Management monitors the credit quality of its loan portfolio on
an ongoing basis. Measurement of delinquency and past due status
are based on the contractual terms of each loan.
Past due loans are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans
for non-accrual status. The Corporation places a loan on
non-accrual status and discontinues interest accruals when
principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 to
180 days depending on the loan type. When a loan is placed
on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest recognized in the
current year is reversed and interest accrued in prior years is
charged to the allowance for loan losses. Non-accrual loans may
not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal
and interest have been paid and the ultimate collectibility of
the remaining principal and interest is reasonably assured.

loans, by class:

The use of internally assigned risk rating grades within the
following commercial loan credit categories permits
management’s use of migration and roll rate analysis to
estimate a quantitative portion of credit risk. The
Corporation’s internal credit risk grading system is based
on past experiences with similarly graded loans and conforms
with regulatory categories. In general, loan risk ratings within
each category are reviewed on an ongoing basis according to the
Corporation’s policy for each class of loans. Each quarter,
management analyzes the resulting ratings, as well as other
external statistics and factors such as delinquency, to track
the migration performance of the commercial loan portfolio.
Loans that migrate toward the Pass credit category or within the
Pass credit category generally have a lower risk of loss and
therefore a lower risk factor compared to loans that migrate
toward the Substandard or Doubtful credit categories which
generally have a higher risk of loss and therefore a higher risk
factor applied to those related loan balances.
The Corporation’s commercial loan credit quality categories
are as follows:
Pass
Special Mention
Substandard
Doubtful
Following is a table showing commercial loans by credit quality
category (in thousands):
Commercial – PA
Commercial – FL
The use of payment status and delinquency migration analysis
within the following consumer and other loan categories enables
management to estimate a quantitative portion of credit risk.
Each month, management analyzes payment activity, as well as
other external statistics and factors such as volume, to
determine how consumer loans are performing.
Following is a table showing consumer and other loans by payment
activity (in thousands):
Loans are designated as impaired when, in the opinion of
management, based on current information and events, the
collection of principal and interest in accordance with the loan
contract is doubtful. Typically, the Corporation does not
consider loans for impairment unless a sustained period of
delinquency (i.e. 90-plus days) is noted or there are subsequent
events that impact repayment probability (i.e. negative
financial trends, bankruptcy filings, eminent foreclosure
proceedings, etc.). Impairment is evaluated in total for
smaller-balance loans of a similar nature and on an individual
loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a specific
valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan
is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash
flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value
of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the
collateral. Consistent with the Corporation’s existing
method of income recognition for loans, interest on impaired
loans, except those classified as non-accrual, is recognized as
income using the accrual method. Impaired loans, or portions
thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

The Corporation has operating leases extending to 2046 for
certain land, office locations and equipment, many of which have
renewal options. Leases that expire are generally expected to be
replaced by other leases. Lease costs are expensed in accordance
with ASC Topic 840, Leases, taking into account
escalation clauses. Rental expense was $6,235 for 2010, $5,985
for 2009 and $5,674 for 2008.

The Corporation also has available an approved line of credit
with a major domestic bank. This unused line was $15,000 as of
both December 31, 2010 and 2009. This line of credit is
periodically reviewed by the issuing bank and is generally
subject to withdrawal at their discretion. During 2009, a
$25,000 committed line of credit was negotiated with a major
domestic bank on behalf of Regency, of which $10,000 was
outstanding at both December 31, 2010 and 2009. The
weighted average interest rates on short-term borrowings during
2010, 2009 and 2008 were 1.04%, 1.43% and 2.49%, respectively.
The weighted average interest rates on short-term borrowings at
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were 1.00%, 1.27% and
1.59%, respectively.
Following is a summary of long-term debt:
Federal Home Loan Bank advances
Convertible subordinated notes
The Corporation’s banking affiliate has available credit
with the FHLB of $1,831,371, of which $118,700 was used as of
December 31, 2010. These advances are secured by loans
collateralized by 1-4 family mortgages and FHLB stock and are
scheduled to mature in various amounts periodically through the
year 2019. Interest rates paid on these advances ranged from
0.99% to 4.79% in 2010, 2.28% to 5.54% in 2009 and 2.12% to
5.54% in 2008. During 2010, the Corporation prepaid $59,000 of
FHLB advances yielding 3.93% to better position the balance
sheet and incurred a prepayment penalty of $2,269 that was
recorded in other non-interest expense.
Subordinated notes are unsecured and subordinated to other
indebtedness of the Corporation. The long-term subordinated
notes mature in various amounts periodically through the year
2020. At December 31, 2010, all of the long-term
subordinated debt is redeemable by the holders prior to maturity
at a discount equal to three to twelve months of interest,
depending on the term of the note. The Corporation may require
the holder to give 30 days prior written notice. No sinking
fund is required and none has been established to retire the
debt. The weighted average interest rate on long-term
subordinated debt was 4.15% at December 31, 2010, 4.91% at
December 31, 2009 and 4.08% at December 31, 2008.
The Corporation assumed 5% convertible subordinated notes in
conjunction with an acquisition. These subordinated notes mature
in 2018 and are convertible into shares of the
Corporation’s common stock at any time prior to maturity at
$12.50 per share. As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation
has reserved 49,000 shares of common stock for issuance in
the event the convertible subordinated notes are converted.
Scheduled annual maturities for all of the long-term debt for
the years following December 31, 2010 are as follows:
The Corporation has four unconsolidated subsidiary trusts
(collectively, the Trusts): F.N.B. Statutory Trust I,
F.N.B. Statutory Trust II, Omega Financial Capital
Trust I and Sun Bancorp Statutory Trust I. One hundred
percent of the common equity of each Trust is owned by the
Corporation. The Trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing
Corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities
(TPS) to third-party investors. The proceeds from the sale of
TPS and the issuance of common equity by the Trusts were
invested in junior subordinated debt securities (subordinated
debt) issued by the Corporation, which are the sole assets of
each Trust. Since the third-party investors are the primary
beneficiaries, the Trusts qualify as VIEs and are not
consolidated in the Corporation’s financial statements. The
Trusts pay dividends on the TPS at the same rate as the
distributions paid by the Corporation on the junior subordinated
debt held by the Trusts. Omega Financial Capital Trust I
and Sun Bancorp Statutory Trust I were acquired as a result
of the Omega acquisition.
Distributions on the subordinated debt issued to the Trusts are
recorded as interest expense by the Corporation. The TPS are
subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon
repayment of the subordinated debt. The subordinated debt, net
of the Corporation’s investment in the Trusts, qualifies as
Tier 1 capital under the FRB guidelines subject to certain
limitations beginning March 31, 2011. The Corporation has
entered into agreements which, when taken collectively, fully
and unconditionally guarantee the obligations under the TPS
subject to the terms of each of the guarantees.
The following table provides information relating to the Trusts
as of December 31, 2010:

Interest rate
The Corporation is exposed to certain risks arising from both
its business operations and economic conditions. The Corporation
principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business
and operational risks through management of its core business
activities. The Corporation manages economic risks, including
interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing
the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities.
The Corporation’s existing interest rate derivatives result
from a service provided to certain qualifying customers. The
Corporation manages its derivative instruments in order to
minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.
At December 31, 2010, the Corporation was party to 138
swaps with notional amounts totaling approximately $480,668 with
customers, and 138 swaps with notional amounts totaling
approximately $480,668 with derivative counterparties. The
following table presents the fair value of the
Corporation’s derivative financial instruments as well as
their classification on the balance sheet:
Interest Rate Products:
Asset derivatives
Liability derivatives
The following table presents the effect of the
Corporation’s derivative financial instruments on the
income statement:
Interest rate products
The Corporation has agreements with each of its derivative
counterparties that contain a provision where if the Corporation
defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where
repayment of the indebtedness has not
been accelerated by the lender, then the Corporation could also
be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The
Corporation also has agreements with certain of its derivative
counterparties that contain a provision if the Corporation fails
to maintain its status as a well capitalized institution, then
the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and
the Corporation would be required to settle its obligations
under the agreements. Certain of the Corporation’s
agreements with its derivative counterparties contain provisions
where if a material or adverse change occurs that materially
changes the Corporation’s creditworthiness in an adverse
manner the Corporation may be required to fully collateralize
its obligations under the derivative instrument.
Interest rate swap agreements generally require posting of
collateral by either party under certain conditions. As of
December 31, 2010, the fair value of counterparty
derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued
interest but excludes any adjustment for non-performance risk
related to these agreements, was $25,024. At December 31,
2010, the Corporation has posted collateral with derivative
counterparties with a fair value of $14,383, of which none is
cash collateral. Additionally, if the Corporation had breached
its agreements with its derivative counterparties it would be
required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the
termination value and would be required to pay an additional
$10,642 in excess of amounts previously posted as collateral
with the respective counterparty.
The Corporation has entered into interest rate lock commitments
to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale and
forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to
secondary market investors. These arrangements are considered
derivative instruments. The fair values of the
Corporation’s rate lock commitments to customers and
commitments with investors at December 31, 2010 are not
material.
The Corporation has commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit that involve certain elements of credit risk
in excess of the amount stated in the consolidated balance
sheet. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the
event of non-performance by the customer is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments. The credit risk
associated with loan commitments and standby letters of credit
is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to
customers and is subject to normal credit policies. Since many
of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow
requirements.
Following is a summary of off-balance sheet credit risk
information:
Commitments to extend credit
Standby letters of credit
At December 31, 2010, funding of approximately 81.0% of the
commitments to extend credit was dependent on the financial
condition of the customer. The Corporation has the ability to
withdraw such commitments at its discretion. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Based on
management’s credit evaluation of the customer, collateral
may be deemed necessary. Collateral requirements vary and may
include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
the Corporation that may require payment at a future date. The
credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is quantified
on a quarterly basis, through the review of historical
performance of the Corporation’s portfolios and allocated
as a liability on the Corporation’s balance sheet.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in various
pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for
monetary damages and other relief are asserted. These actions
include claims brought against the Corporation and its
subsidiaries where the Corporation or a subsidiary acted as one
or more of the following: a
depository bank, lender, underwriter, fiduciary, financial
advisor, broker or was engaged in other business activities.
Although the ultimate outcome for any asserted claim cannot be
predicted with certainty, the Corporation believes that it and
its subsidiaries have valid defenses for all asserted claims.
Reserves are established for legal claims when losses associated
with the claims are judged to be probable and the amount of the
loss can be reasonably estimated.
Restricted
Stock
The Corporation issues restricted stock awards, consisting of
both restricted stock and restricted stock units, to key
employees under its Incentive Compensation Plans (Plans). The
grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards is equal to
the price of the Corporation’s common stock on the grant
date. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Corporation issued
515,857, 469,346 and 245,255 restricted stock awards,
respectively, with weighted average grant date fair values of
$4,029, $2,811 and $3,313, respectively, under these Plans. The
Corporation has available up to 2,531,576 shares of common
stock to issue under these Plans.
Under the Plans, more than half of the restricted stock awards
granted to management are earned if the Corporation meets or
exceeds certain financial performance results when compared to
its peers. These performance-related awards are expensed ratably
from the date that the likelihood of meeting the performance
measure is probable through the end of a four-year vesting
period. The service-based awards are expensed ratably over a
three-year vesting period. The Corporation also issues
discretionary service-based awards to certain employees that
vest over five years.
The unvested restricted stock awards are eligible to receive
cash dividends or dividend equivalents which are ultimately used
to purchase additional shares of stock. Any additional shares of
stock received as a result of cash dividends are subject to
forfeiture if the requisite service period is not completed or
the specified performance criteria are not met. These awards are
subject to certain accelerated vesting provisions upon
retirement, death, disability or in the event of a change of
control as defined in the award agreements.
Share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock
awards was $2,739, $1,775 and $2,119 for the years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the tax benefit of which
was $959, $621 and $742, respectively.
The following table summarizes certain information concerning
restricted stock awards:
Unvested shares outstanding at beginning of year
Granted
Net adjustment due to performance
Vested
Forfeited
Dividend reinvestment
Unvested shares outstanding at end of year
The total fair value of shares vested was $698, $1,046 and
$1,527 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
As of December 31, 2010, there was $4,955 of unrecognized
compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards
granted, none of which is subject to accelerated vesting under
the plan’s immediate vesting upon retirement provision for
awards granted prior to the adoption of ASC Topic 718 on
January 1, 2006. The components of the restricted stock
awards as of December 31, 2010 are as follows:
Unvested shares
Unrecognized compensation expense
Intrinsic value
Weighted average remaining life (in years)
Stock
Options
The Corporation did not grant stock options during 2010, 2009 or
2008. All outstanding stock options were granted at prices equal
to the fair market value at the date of the grant, are primarily
exercisable within ten years from the date of the grant and were
fully vested as of January 1, 2006. The Corporation issues
shares of treasury stock or authorized but unissued shares to
satisfy stock options exercised. Shares issued upon the exercise
of stock options were 24,063, 1,979 and 543,591 for 2010, 2009
and 2008, respectively.
The following table summarizes certain information concerning
stock option awards:
Options outstanding at beginning of year
Assumed in acquisitions
Exercised
Options outstanding and exercisable at end of year
Upon consummation of the Corporation’s acquisitions, all
outstanding options issued by the acquired companies were
converted into equivalent Corporation options.
The following table summarizes information about stock options
outstanding at December 31, 2010:
$ 2.68 - $ 4.02
6.06 - 9.09
9.10 - 13.65
13.66 - 19.65
The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options
at December 31, 2010 was $(3,421), since the fair value of
the stock was less than the exercise price.
The following table summarizes certain information relating to
stock options exercised:
Proceeds from stock options exercised
Tax benefit recognized from stock options exercised
Intrinsic value of stock options exercised
Warrants
In conjunction with its participation in the CPP, the
Corporation issued to the UST a warrant to purchase up to
1,302,083 shares of the Corporation’s common stock.
Pursuant to Section 13(H) of the Warrant to Purchase Common
Stock, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrant has been reduced in half to
651,042 shares as of June 16, 2009, the date the
Corporation completed a public offering. The warrant has an
exercise price of $11.52 per share.
The Corporation sponsors the Retirement Income Plan (RIP), a
qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all salaried employees hired prior to
January 1, 2008. The RIP covers employees who satisfy
minimum age and length of service requirements. During 2006, the
Corporation amended the RIP such that effective January 1,
2007 benefits are earned based on the employee’s
compensation each year. The plan amendment resulted in a
remeasurement that produced a net unrecognized service credit of
$14,079, which had been amortized over the average period of
future service of active employees of 13.5 years. The
Corporation’s funding guideline has been to make annual
contributions to the RIP each year, if necessary, such that
minimum funding requirements have been met. Based on the funded
status of the plan, the Corporation did not make a contribution
to the RIP in 2010. The Corporation amended the RIP on
October 20, 2010 to be frozen effective December 31,
2010, at which time the Corporation recognized the remaining
previously unrecognized prior service credit of $10,543 as a
reduction to expense.
The Corporation also sponsors two supplemental non-qualified
retirement plans. The ERISA Excess Retirement Plan provides
retirement benefits equal to the difference, if any, between the
maximum benefit allowable under the Internal Revenue Code and
the amount that would be provided under the RIP, if no limits
were applied. The Basic Retirement Plan (BRP) is applicable to
certain officers whom the Board of Directors designates.
Officers participating in the BRP receive a benefit based on a
target benefit percentage based on years of service at
retirement and a designated tier as determined by the Board of
Directors. When a participant retires, the basic
benefit under the BRP is a monthly benefit equal to the target
benefit percentage times the participant’s highest average
monthly cash compensation during five consecutive calendar years
within the last ten calendar years of employment. This monthly
benefit was reduced by the monthly benefit the participant
receives from Social Security, the RIP, the ERISA Excess
Retirement Plan and the annuity equivalent of the two percent
automatic contributions to the qualified 401(k) defined
contribution plan and the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan. The BRP
was frozen as of December 31, 2008, at which time the
Corporation recognized a one-time charge of $762. The ERISA
Excess Retirement Plan was frozen as of December 31, 2010.
The following tables provide information relating to the
accumulated benefit obligation, change in benefit obligation,
change in plan assets, the plans’ funded status and the
amount included in the consolidated balance sheet for the
qualified and non-qualified plans described above (collectively,
the Plans):
Accumulated benefit obligation
Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year
Service cost
Interest cost
IRGB-related
Curtailment gain
Actuarial loss
Benefits paid
Projected benefit obligation at end of year
Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year
Actual return on plan assets
Corporation contribution
Fair value of plan assets at end of year
Funded status of plan
The unrecognized actuarial loss, prior service cost and net
transition obligation are required to be recognized into
earnings over the average remaining participant life due to the
freezing of the RIP, which may, on a net basis reduce future
earnings.
Actuarial assumptions used in the determination of the projected
benefit obligation in the Plans are as follows:
Weighted average discount rate
Rates of average increase in compensation levels
The discount rate assumption at December 31, 2010 and 2009
was determined using a yield-curve based approach. A yield curve
was produced for a universe containing the majority of
U.S.-issued
Aa-graded corporate bonds, all of which were non-callable (or
callable with make-whole provisions), and after excluding the
10% of the bonds with the highest yields and the 10% of the
bonds with the lowest yields. The discount rate was developed as
the level equivalent rate that would produce the same present
value as that using spot rates aligned with the projected
benefit payments.
The net periodic pension cost and other comprehensive income for
the Plans included the following components:
Expected return on plan assets
Settlement charge
Special termination charge
Curtailment credit
Transition amount amortization
Prior service credit amortization
Actuarial loss amortization
Net periodic pension cost
Other changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized
in other comprehensive income:
Current year actuarial loss (gain)
Curtailment effects
Amortization of actuarial loss
Amortization of prior service credit
Amortization of transition asset
Total recognized in other comprehensive income
Total recognized in net periodic pension cost and other
comprehensive income
The plans have an actuarial measurement date of
December 31. Actuarial assumptions used in the
determination of the net periodic pension cost in the Plans are
as follows:
Rates of increase in compensation levels
Expected long-term rate of return on assets
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets has been
established by considering historical and anticipated expected
returns on the asset classes invested in by the pension trust
and the allocation strategy currently in place among those
classes.
The change in plan assets reflects benefits paid from the
qualified pension plans of $3,935 and $4,052 for 2010 and 2009,
respectively, and employer contributions to the qualified
pension plans of $0 and $1,560 for 2010 and 2009, respectively.
For the non-qualified pension plans, the change in plan assets
reflects benefits paid and contributions to the plans in the
same amount. This amount represents the actual benefit payments
paid from general plan assets of $1,289 for 2010 and $1,149 for
2009.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the projected benefit
obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of
plan assets for the qualified and non-qualified pension plans
were as follows:
Projected benefit obligation
Fair value of plan assets
The impact of changes in the discount rate, expected long-term
rate of return on plan assets and compensation levels would have
had the following effects on 2010 pension expense:
0.5% decrease in the discount rate
0.5% decrease in the expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets
The following table provides information regarding estimated
future cash flows relating to the Plans at December 31,
2010:
Expected employer contributions:
Expected benefit payments:
The qualified pension plan contributions are deposited into a
trust and the qualified benefit payments are made from trust
assets. For the non-qualified plans, the contributions and the
benefit payments are the same and reflect expected benefit
amounts, which are paid from general assets.
The Corporation’s subsidiaries participate in a qualified
401(k) defined contribution plan under which eligible employees
may contribute a percentage of their salary. The Corporation
matched 50 percent of an eligible employee’s
contribution on the first 6 percent that the employee
deferred through December 31, 2010. Beginning in 2011, the
Corporation will match 100% of the first 4 percent that the
employee defers. Employees are eligible to participate upon
their first day of employment or having attained age 21,
whichever is later. Beginning with 2007, in light of the change
to the RIP benefit, the Corporation began making an automatic
two percent contribution and may make an additional contribution
of up to two percent depending on the Corporation achieving its
performance goals for the plan year. Effective January 1,
2008, in lieu of the RIP benefit, the automatic contribution for
substantially all new full-time employees was increased from two
percent to four percent. Beginning in 2011, substantially all
employees will receive an automatic contribution of three
percent of compensation at the end of the year. The
Corporation’s contribution expense was $5,770 for 2010,
$4,577 for 2009 and $4,323 for 2008.
The Corporation also sponsors an ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan
for certain officers. This plan provides retirement benefits
equal to the difference, if any, between the maximum benefit
allowable under the Internal Revenue Code and the amount that
would have been provided under the qualified 401(k) defined
contribution plan, if no limits were applied.
Pension
Plan Investment Policy and Strategy
The Corporation’s investment strategy is to diversify plan
assets between a wide mix of securities within the equity and
debt markets in an effort to allow the plan the opportunity to
meet the plan’s expected long-term rate of return
requirements while minimizing short-term volatility. In this
regard, the plan has targeted allocations within the equity
securities category for domestic large cap, domestic mid cap,
domestic small cap, real estate investment trusts, emerging
market and international securities. Within the debt securities
category, the plan has targeted allocation levels for
U.S. Treasury, U.S. agency, domestic investment grade
bonds, high yield bonds, inflation protected securities and
international bonds.
Following are asset allocations for the Corporation’s
pension plans as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the
target allocation for 2011, by asset category:
Asset Category
Debt securities
Cash equivalents
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, equity securities included
550,128 and 420,128 shares of the Corporation’s common
stock, respectively, totaling $5,402 (5.3% of total plan assets)
at December 31, 2010 and $2,853 (3.0% of total plan assets)
at December 31, 2009. The plan acquired 130,000 shares
during 2010. Dividends received on the Corporation’s common
stock held by the Plan were $250 for 2010 and $163 for 2009.
The fair values of the Corporation’s pension plan assets by

The classifications for Level 1, Level 2 and
Level 3 are discussed in the Fair Value Measurements
footnote.
The Corporation sponsors a pre-Medicare eligible postretirement
medical insurance plan for retirees of certain affiliates
between the ages of 62 and 65. During 2006, the Corporation
amended the plan such that only employees who were age 60
or older as of January 1, 2007 are eligible for employer
paid coverage. The Corporation has no plan assets attributable
to this plan and funds the benefits as claims arise. Benefit
costs related to this plan are recognized in the periods in
which employees provide service for such benefits. The
Corporation reserves the right to terminate the plan or make
plan changes at any time.
The following tables provide information relating to the change
in benefit obligation, change in plan assets, the Plan’s
funded status and the liability reflected in the consolidated
balance sheet:
Benefit obligation at beginning of year
Plan participants’ contributions
Actuarial (gain) loss
Benefit obligation at end of year
Actuarial assumptions used in the determination of the benefit
obligation in the Plan are as follows:
Discount rate
Assumed healthcare cost trend:
Initial trend
Ultimate trend
Year ultimate trend reached
The discount rate assumption at December 31, 2010 was
determined using the same yield-curve based approach as
previously described in the Retirement Plans footnote.
Net periodic postretirement benefit (income) cost and other
comprehensive income included the following components:
Net periodic postretirement benefit (income) cost
Current year actuarial (gain) loss
Total recognized in net periodic postretirement income and other
comprehensive income
Actuarial assumptions used in the determination of the net
periodic postretirement cost in the Plan are as follows:
Year ultimate cost trend reached
A one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost
trend rate would have had the following effects on 2010 service
and interest cost and the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation at December 31, 2010:
Effect on service and interest components of net periodic cost
Effect on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
The following table provides information regarding estimated
future cash flows relating to the postretirement benefit plan at
December 31, 2010:
The contributions and the benefit payments for the
postretirement benefit plan are the same and represent expected
benefit amounts, net of participant contributions, which are
paid from general plan assets.
Income tax expense, allocated based on a separate tax return
basis, consists of the following:
Current income taxes:
Federal taxes
State taxes
Deferred income taxes:
Income tax expense related to gains on the sale of securities
was $1,036, $185 and $292 for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Income tax expense and the effective tax rate for 2010 were
favorably impacted by $265 due to the expiration of an uncertain
tax position in the current period. The effective tax rates for
2010, 2009 and 2008 were all lower than the 35.0% federal
statutory tax rate due to tax benefits resulting from tax-exempt
income on investments, loans, tax credits and income from BOLI.
The following table provides a reconciliation between the
federal statutory tax rate and the actual effective tax rate:
Federal statutory tax rate
Effect of tax-free interest and dividend income

Actual effective tax rate
The following table presents the tax effects of temporary
differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and
liabilities:
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for loan losses
State net operating loss carryforwards
Deferred compensation
Intangibles
Securities impairments
Pension and other defined benefit plans
Net unrealized securities losses
Valuation allowance
Total deferred tax assets
Deferred tax liabilities:
Loan fees
Depreciation
Purchase accounting adjustments
Prepaid expenses
Total deferred tax liabilities
Net deferred tax assets
The Corporation establishes a valuation allowance when it is
more likely than not that the Corporation will not be able to
realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets or when future
deductibility is uncertain. Periodically, the valuation
allowance is reviewed and adjusted based on management’s
assessment of realizable deferred tax assets. At
December 31, 2010, the Corporation had unused state net
operating loss carryforwards expiring from 2018 to 2030. The
Corporation anticipates that neither the state net operating
loss carryforwards nor the other net deferred tax assets at
certain of its subsidiaries will be utilized and, as such, has
recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets
related to these carryforwards.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation has
approximately $2,481 and $3,042, respectively, of unrecognized
tax benefits, excluding interest and the federal tax benefit of
unrecognized state tax benefits. Also, as of December 31,
2010 and 2009, additional unrecognized tax benefits relating to
accrued interest, net of the related federal tax benefit,
amounted to $182 and $197, respectively. As of December 31,
2010, $2,190 of these tax benefits would affect the effective
tax rate if recognized. The Corporation recognizes potential
accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits in income tax expense. To the extent interest is not
assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts
accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the
overall income tax provision.
The Corporation files numerous consolidated and separate income
tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in several
state jurisdictions. The Corporation is no longer subject to
U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to
2008. The Corporation’s 2006 and 2007 federal examinations
have closed with no material impact to the Corporation’s
financial position. The Corporation’s tax years 2009 and
2008 remained open to federal examination. With limited
exception, the Corporation is no longer subject to state income
tax examinations for years prior to 2007 and state income tax
returns for 2007 through 2009 are currently subject to
examination. The Corporation anticipates that a reduction in the
unrecognized tax benefit of up to $168 may occur in the next
twelve months from the expiration of statutes of limitations
which would result in a reduction in income taxes.
Unrecognized
Tax Benefits
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of
unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and the federal
income tax benefit of unrecognized state tax benefits) is as
follows:
Additions based on tax positions related to current year
Additions based on tax positions of prior year
Reductions for tax positions of prior years
Reductions due to statute of limitations
Balance at end of year
The components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, are
as follows:
Other comprehensive loss:
Unrealized gains (losses) on securities:
Arising during the period, net of tax expense (benefit) of
$1,904, $(4,022) and $(7,713)
Less: reclassification adjustment for (gains) losses included in
net income, net of tax expense (benefit) of $217, $(2,578) and
$(5,724)
Unrealized losses on swap, net of tax benefit of $69
Pension and postretirement amortization, net of tax benefit of
$3,356, $779 and $8,573
Other comprehensive loss
Comprehensive income
For 2008, the amount of the reclassification adjustment for
losses included in net income differs from the amount shown in
the consolidated statement of income because it does not include
gains or losses realized on securities that were both purchased
and then sold during that year.
The accumulated balances related to each component of other
comprehensive income, net of tax, are as follows:
Non-credit related loss on debt securities not expected to be
sold
Unrealized net gain (loss) on other available for sale securities
Unrecognized pension and postretirement obligations
Accumulated other comprehensive income
The following tables set forth the computation of basic and
diluted earnings per share:
Net income available to common stockholders - basic
earnings per share
Interest expense on convertible debt
Net income available to common stockholders after assumed
conversion - diluted earnings per share
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding
Net effect of dilutive stock options, warrants, restricted stock
and convertible debt
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding
For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008,
797,983, 1,549,205 and 118,619 shares of common stock,
respectively, related to stock options and warrants were
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the exercise price of the shares was greater than the
average market price of the common shares and therefore, the
effect would be antidilutive.
On January 9, 2009, in conjunction with the UST’s CPP,
the Corporation issued to the UST 100,000 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase up to
1,302,083 shares of the Corporation’s common stock for
an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. The warrant has a
ten-year term and an exercise price of $11.52 per share.
On June 16, 2009, the Corporation completed a public
offering of 24,150,000 shares of common stock at a price of
$5.50 per share, including 3,150,000 shares of common stock
purchased by the underwriters pursuant to an over-allotment
option, which the underwriters exercised in full. The net
proceeds of the offering after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and offering expenses were $125,784. As a result
of the completion of the public stock offering, the number of
shares of the Corporation’s common stock purchasable upon
exercise of the warrant issued to the UST was reduced in half to
651,042 shares and the exercise price was unchanged.
On September 9, 2009, the Corporation utilized a portion of
the proceeds of its public offering to redeem all of the
Series C Preferred Stock issued to the UST under the CPP
and to pay the related final accrued dividend. Since receiving
the CPP funds on January 9, 2009, the Corporation paid the
UST $3,333 in cash dividends. Upon redemption, the remaining
difference of $4,319 between the Series C Preferred Stock
redemption amount and the
recorded amount was charged to retained earnings as non-cash
deemed preferred stock dividends. The non-cash deemed preferred
stock dividends had no impact on total equity, but reduced 2009
earnings per diluted common share by $0.04. The remaining
offering proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and
to enhance capital levels.
The Corporation and FNBPA are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by the federal banking
agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulators to
ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and FNBPA to
maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1
capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets
(as defined) and of leverage ratio (as defined). Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and
possibly additional discretionary actions, by regulators that,
if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Corporation and FNBPA must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures
of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Corporation’s and FNBPA’s capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
The Corporation’s management believes that, as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation and FNBPA met
all capital adequacy requirements to which either of them was
subject.
As of December 31, 2010, the most recent notification from
the federal banking agencies categorized the Corporation and
FNBPA as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events
since the notification which management believes have changed
this categorization.
Following are the capital ratios as of December 31, 2010
and 2009 for the Corporation and FNBPA:
Total Capital (to risk-weighted assets):
FNBPA
Tier 1 Capital (to risk-weighted assets):
Leverage Ratio:
FNBPA was required to maintain aggregate cash reserves with the
FRB amounting to $17,078 at December 31, 2010. The
Corporation also maintains deposits for various services such as
check clearing.
Certain limitations exist under applicable law and regulations
by regulatory agencies regarding dividend distributions to a
parent by its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2010, the
Corporation’s subsidiaries had $9,883 of retained earnings
available for distribution to the Corporation without prior
regulatory approval.
Under current FRB regulations, FNBPA is limited in the amount it
may lend to non-bank affiliates, including the Corporation. Such
loans must be secured by specified collateral. In addition, any
such loans to a non-bank affiliate may not exceed 10% of
FNBPA’s capital and surplus and the aggregate of loans to
all such affiliates may not exceed 20% of FNBPA’s capital
and surplus. The maximum amount that may be borrowed by the
Corporation under these provisions was $131,449 at
December 31, 2010.
The Corporation operates in four reportable segments: Community
Banking, Wealth Management, Insurance and Consumer Finance.
The following tables provide financial information for these
segments of the Corporation. The information provided under the
caption “Parent and Other” represents operations not
considered to be reportable segments

The Corporation uses fair value measurements to record fair
value adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities
and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available
for sale and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a
recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the
Corporation may be required to record at fair value other assets
on a nonrecurring basis, such as mortgage loans held for sale,
certain impaired loans, OREO and certain other assets.
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. Fair value
measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. Fair value
is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a
market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability
rather than an entity-specific measure.
In determining fair value, the Corporation uses various
valuation approaches, including market, income and cost
approaches. ASC Topic 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs
used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of
observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs
by requiring that observable inputs be used when available.
Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability, which are developed based on
market data obtained from sources independent of the
Corporation. Unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based
on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to
unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The
fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on
the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value
hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies the
Corporation uses for financial instruments recorded at fair
value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis:
Securities
Available For Sale
Securities available for sale consists of both debt and equity
securities. These securities are recorded at fair value on a
recurring basis. At December 31, 2010, approximately 97.6%
of these securities used valuation methodologies involving
market-based or market-derived information, collectively
Level 1 and Level 2 measurements, to measure fair
value. The remaining 2.4% of these securities were measured
using model-based techniques, with primarily unobservable
(Level 3) inputs.
The Corporation closely monitors market conditions involving
assets that have become less actively traded. If the fair value
measurement is based upon recent observable market activity of
such assets or comparable assets (other than forced or
distressed transactions) that occur in sufficient volume, and do
not require significant adjustment using unobservable inputs,
those assets are classified as Level 1 or Level 2; if
not, they are classified as Level 3. Making this assessment
requires significant judgment.
The Corporation uses prices from independent pricing services
and, to a lesser extent, indicative (non-binding) quotes from
independent brokers, to measure the fair value of investment
securities. The Corporation validates prices received from
pricing services or brokers using a variety of methods,
including, but not limited to, comparison to secondary pricing
services, corroboration of pricing by reference to other
independent market data such as secondary broker quotes and
relevant benchmark indices, and review of pricing by Corporate
personnel familiar with market liquidity and other
market-related conditions.
The Corporation determines the valuation of its investments in
trust preferred debt securities with the assistance of a
third-party independent financial consulting firm that
specializes in advisory services related to illiquid financial
investments. The consulting firm provides the Corporation
appropriate valuation methodology, performance assumptions,
modeling techniques, discounted cash flows, discount rates and
sensitivity analyses with respect to levels of defaults and
deferrals necessary to produce losses. Additionally, the
Corporation utilizes the firm’s expertise to reassess
assumptions to reflect actual conditions. See the Securities
footnote for information on how the Corporation reassesses
assumptions to determine the valuation of its trust preferred
debt securities. Accessing the services of a financial
consulting firm with a focus on financial instruments assists
the Corporation in accurately valuing these complex financial
instruments and facilitates informed decision-making with
respect to such instruments.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The Corporation determines its fair value for derivatives using
widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash
flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative.
This analysis reflects contractual terms of the derivative,
including the period to maturity and uses observable market
based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied
volatilities.
The Corporation incorporates credit valuation adjustments to
appropriately reflect both its own non-performance risk and the
respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair
value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its
derivative contracts for the effect of non-performance risk, the
Corporation considers the impact of netting and any applicable
credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds,
mutual puts and guarantees.
Although the Corporation has determined that the majority of the
inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of
the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments
associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs,
such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the
likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However,
as of December 31, 2010, the Corporation has assessed the
significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments
on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has
determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not
significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a
result, the Corporation has determined that its derivative
valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of
the fair value hierarchy.
Residential
Mortgage Loans Held For Sale
These loans are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.
Under lower of cost or fair value accounting, periodically, it
may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments.
Fair value, when recorded, is based on independent quoted market
prices and is classified as Level 2.
Impaired
Loans
The Corporation reserves for commercial and commercial real
estate loans that the Corporation considers impaired as defined
in ASC Topic 310 at the time the Corporation identifies the loan
as impaired based upon the present value of expected future cash
flows available to pay the loan, or based upon the fair value of
the collateral less estimated selling costs where a loan is
collateral dependent. Collateral may be real estate
and/or
business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts
receivable.
The Corporation determines the value of real estate based on
appraisals by licensed or certified appraisers. The value of
business assets is generally based on amounts reported on the
business’s financial statements. Management must rely on
the financial statements prepared and certified by the borrower
or its accountants in determining the value of these business
assets on an ongoing basis which may be subject to significant
change over time. Based on the quality of information or
statements provided, management may require the use of business
asset appraisals and site-inspections to better value these
assets. The Corporation may discount appraised and reported
values based on management’s historical knowledge, changes
in market conditions from the time of valuation or
management’s knowledge of the borrower and the
borrower’s business. Since not all valuation inputs are
observable, the Corporation classifies these nonrecurring fair
value determinations as Level 2 or Level 3 based on
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
The Corporation reviews and evaluates impaired loans no less
frequently than quarterly for additional impairment based on the
same factors identified above.
OREO is comprised of commercial and residential real estate
properties obtained in partial or total satisfaction of loan
obligations plus some bank owned real estate. OREO acquired in
settlement of indebtedness is recorded at the lower of carrying
amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell.
Subsequently, these assets are carried at the lower of carrying
value or fair value less costs to sell. Accordingly, it may be
necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments. Fair
value is generally based upon appraisals by licensed or
certified appraisers and other market information and is
classified as Level 2 or Level 3.
The following table presents the balances of assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Assets measured at fair value:
Available for sale debt securities:
U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government agencies and corporations
Residential mortgage-backed securities:
Agency mortgage-backed securities
Agency collateralized mortgage obligations
Non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations

The following table presents additional information about assets
measured at fair value on a recurring basis and for which the
Corporation has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair
value:
Year Ended December 31, 2010
Balance at beginning of period
Total gains (losses) - realized/unrealized:
Included in earnings
Included in other comprehensive income
Purchases, issuances, and settlements
Transfers in and/or (out) of Level 3
Balance at end of period
Year Ended December 31, 2009
The Corporation reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on
a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation
attributes may result in reclassification of certain financial
assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as
transfers in/out of Level 3 at fair value at the beginning
of the period in which the changes occur.
The amount of total losses included in earnings for the years
ended 2010 and 2009 attributable to the change in unrealized
gains or losses relating to assets still held as of those dates
was $2,281 and $7,098, respectively. These losses are included
in net impairment losses on securities reported as a component
of non-interest income.
TPS were transferred between Level 2 and Level 3
during 2009. These transfers were primarily due to observability
of inputs used to establish a benchmark for valuation. Fair
values for these securities were determined using discounted
cash flow models, which incorporate certain assumptions and
projections in determining fair values assigned.
In accordance with GAAP, from time to time, the Corporation
measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
These adjustments to fair value usually result from the
application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or
write-downs of individual assets. Valuation methodologies used
to measure these fair value adjustments were previously
described. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis still held in the balance sheet, the following table
provides the hierarchy level and the fair value of the related
assets or portfolios:
Impaired loans
Other real estate owned
Impaired loans measured or re-measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis during 2010 had a carrying amount of $31,582
and an allocated allowance for loan losses of $7,641 at
December 31, 2010. The allocated allowance is based on fair
value of $27,239 less estimated costs to sell of $3,298. The
allowance for loan losses includes a provision applicable to the
current period fair value measurements of $6,959 which was
included in the provision for loan losses for 2010.
OREO with a carrying amount of $36,913 was written down to
$26,999 (fair value of $30,766 less estimated costs to sell of
$3,767), resulting in a loss of $9,914, which was included in
earnings for 2010.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial
instruments are as follows:
Financial Assets
Cash and short-term investments
Securities held to maturity
Net loans, including loans held for sale
Accrued interest receivable
Financial Liabilities
Accrued interest payable
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each financial instrument:
Cash and Due from Banks, Short-Term Investments, Accrued
Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable. For these
short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value.
Securities. For both securities available for
sale and securities held to maturity, fair value equals the
quoted market price from an active market, if available, and is
classified within Level 1. If a quoted market price is not
available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices
for similar securities or pricing models, and is classified as
Level 2. Where there is limited market activity or
significant valuation inputs are unobservable, securities are
classified within Level 3. Under current market conditions,
assumptions used to determine the fair value of Level 3
securities have greater subjectivity due to the lack of
observable market transactions.
Loans. The fair value of fixed rate loans is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current
rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
The fair value of variable and adjustable rate loans
approximates the carrying amount.
Bank Owned Life Insurance. The Corporation
owns both general account and separate account BOLI. The fair
value of general account BOLI is based on the insurance contract
cash surrender value. The fair value of separate account BOLI
equals the quoted market price of the underlying securities, if
available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value
is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
In connection with the separate account BOLI, the Corporation
has purchased a stable value protection product that mitigates
the impact of market value fluctuations of the underlying
separate account assets.
Deposits. The fair value of demand deposits,
savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount
payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of
fixed-maturity deposits is estimated by discounting future cash
flows using rates currently offered for deposits of similar
remaining maturities.
Short-Term Borrowings. The carrying amounts
for short-term borrowings approximate fair value for amounts
that mature in 90 days or less. The fair value of
subordinated notes is estimated by discounting future cash flows
using rates currently offered.
Long-Term and Junior Subordinated Debt. The
fair value of long-term and junior subordinated debt is
estimated by discounting future cash flows based on the market
prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates
offered to the Corporation for debt of the same remaining
maturities.
Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of
Credit. Estimates of the fair value of these
off-balance sheet items were not made because of the short-term
nature of these arrangements and the credit standing of the
counterparties. Also, unfunded loan commitments relate
principally to variable rate commercial loans, typically
non-binding, and fees are not normally assessed on these
balances.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Corporation maintains
disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed in the reports that it
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC’s files and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management,
including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. The Corporation’s management, with the
participation of its CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of
the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the
period covered by this Report. Based upon such evaluation, the
Corporation’s CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the
end of such period, the Corporation’s disclosure controls
and procedures were effective.
There have not been any significant changes in the
Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as
such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal
