NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

September 30, 2019

The terms “FNB,” “the Corporation,” “we,” “us” and “our” throughout this Report mean F.N.B. Corporation and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates that we refer only to the parent company, F.N.B. Corporation. When we refer to "FNBPA" in this Report, we mean our bank subsidiary, First National Bank of Pennsylvania, and its subsidiaries.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

F.N.B. Corporation, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a diversified financial services company operating in seven states and the District of Columbia. Our market coverage spans several major metropolitan areas including: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; Cleveland, Ohio; Washington, D.C.; and Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and the Piedmont Triad (Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point) in North Carolina. As of September 30, 2019, we had 369 banking offices throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

We provide a full range of commercial banking, consumer banking and wealth management solutions through our subsidiary network which is led by our largest affiliate, FNBPA, founded in 1864. Commercial banking solutions include corporate banking, small business banking, investment real estate financing, government banking, business credit, capital markets and lease financing. Consumer banking provides a full line of consumer banking products and services including deposit products, mortgage lending, consumer lending and a complete suite of mobile and online banking services. Wealth management services include asset management, private banking and insurance.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) include subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. We own and operate FNBPA, First National Trust Company, First National Investment Services Company, LLC, F.N.B. Investment Advisors, Inc., First National Insurance Agency, LLC, Bank Capital Services, LLC and F.N.B. Capital Corporation, LLC, and include results for each of these entities in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Companies in which we hold more than a 50% voting equity interest, or a controlling financial interest, or are a variable interest entity (VIE) in which we have the power to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE which could potentially be significant to the VIE are consolidated. VIEs in which we do not hold the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or does not have an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE which could potentially be significant to the VIE are not consolidated. Investments in companies that are not consolidated are accounted for using the equity method when we have the ability to exert significant influence. Investments in private investment partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method or the cost method are included in other assets and our proportional interest in the equity investments’ earnings are included in other non-interest income. Investment interests accounted for under the cost and equity methods are periodically evaluated for impairment.

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect our 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. Such reclassifications had no impact on our net income and stockholders’ equity. Events occurring subsequent to September 30, 2019 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 Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain information and Note disclosures normally included in Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results FNB expects for the full year. These interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019. For a detailed description of our significant

accounting policies, see Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies presented below have been added or amended for newly material items or the adoption of new accounting standards.

Use of Estimates

Our accounting and reporting policies conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited). Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes include the allowance for credit losses, accounting for loans acquired in a business combination, fair value of financial instruments, goodwill and other intangible assets, litigation, income taxes and deferred tax assets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

From time to time, we 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. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either an asset or liability. Accounting for the changes in fair value of a derivative is dependent upon whether it has been designated in a formal, qualifying hedging relationship. For derivatives in qualifying hedging relationships, we formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. Cash flows from hedging activities are classified in the same category as the items hedged.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12 which provides targeted improvements to the hedge accounting model that more closely aligns the accounting and reporting for hedging relationships with risk management activities. In addition, ASU 2017-12 provides administrative relief by easing documentation requirements, simplifying the application of hedge accounting by expanding the application of the shortcut method, eliminating the separate measurement and reporting of hedge ineffectiveness and generally requiring the entire effect of the hedging instrument and the hedged item to be presented in the same income statement line item. We believe these changes will provide users with more useful information about the effect of our risk management activities on the financial statements.

Changes in fair value of a derivative instrument that has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, including any ineffectiveness, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI to the consolidated statements of income in the same line item used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item in the period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Prior to 2019, the ineffective portion, if any, was reported in earnings immediately.

At the hedge’s inception 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. At each reporting period thereafter, a statistical regression or qualitative analysis is performed to evaluate hedge effectiveness. 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.

In addition, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to meet the interest rate risk management needs of qualifying commercial loan customers. These agreements provide the customer the ability to convert from variable to fixed interest rates. We then enter into positions with a derivative counterparty in order to offset our exposure on the fixed components of the customer agreements. The credit risk associated with derivatives executed with customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans and is subject to normal credit policies and monitoring. We seek to minimize counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions with only high-quality institutions. These arrangements meet the definition of derivatives, but are not designated as qualifying hedging relationships. The interest rate swap agreement with the loan customer and with the counterparty are reported at fair value in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with any resulting gain or loss recorded in current period earnings as other income.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception of the contract. As a lessee, we consider a contract to be, or contain, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration. We recognize in our Consolidated Balance Sheets the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For an operating lease, the right-of-use asset and lease liability are included

in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Finance leases are included in premises and equipment, and other liabilities. We do not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, instead we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that commenced before January 1, 2019, we have applied the modified retrospective transition method which resulted in comparative information not being restated. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us to not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease at the commencement date. If the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, we discount the lease using our incremental borrowing rate which is derived by reference to FNB's secured borrowing rate. Our leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. When it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such an option, the lease term includes those periods. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For operating leases, if deemed impaired, the right-of-use asset is written down and the remaining balance is subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis.

We have real estate lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component.

As a lessor, when a lease meets certain criteria indicating that we effectively have transferred control of the underlying asset to the customer, the lease is classified as a sales-type lease. When a lease does not meet the criteria for a sales-type lease but meets the criteria of a direct financing lease, the lease is classified as a direct financing lease. When none of the required criteria for sales-type lease or direct-financing lease are met, the lease is classified as an operating lease.

Both sales-type leases and direct financing leases are recognized as a net investment in the lease on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net investment comprises the lease receivable including any residual value of the underlying asset that is guaranteed by the customer or any other third party unrelated to us and the unguaranteed residual value of the underlying asset. Operating lease income is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. We do not evaluate whether sales taxes and similar taxes imposed by a governmental authority on lease transactions and collected by us are our primary obligation as owner of the underlying leased asset and exclude from lease income all taxes collected.

Standard	Description	Financial Statements Impact
Derivative and Hedging Activities
ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities	This Update improves the financial reporting of hedging to better align with a company’s risk management activities. In addition, this Update makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the current hedge accounting guidance.	We adopted this Update in the first quarter of 2019 using a modified retrospective transition method. The presentation and disclosure guidance were applied prospectively. The adoption of this Update did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. This Update was effective as of January 1, 2019.
Securities
ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities	This Update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable securities to the earliest call date. The accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount does not change.	We adopted this Update in the first quarter of 2019 using a modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this Update did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. This Update was effective as of January 1, 2019.
Leases
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842), Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors ASU 2019-01, Lease (Topic 842), Codification Improvements	These Updates require lessees to put most leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets but recognize expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income similar to current accounting. In addition, the Update changes the guidance for sales-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs for most entities. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease related revenue and expense.	We adopted these Updates in the first quarter of 2019 under the modified retrospective transition method. In addition, the new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permits us to not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of $116 million in right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $126 million for operating leases on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. These Updates were effective as of January 1, 2019.



Standard	Description	Financial Statements Impact
Credit Losses
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief	These Updates replace the current long-standing incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses (commonly referred to as CECL) for most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including loans, HTM debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures except for unconditionally cancellable commitments. CECL requires loss estimates for the remaining life of the financial asset at the time the asset is originated or acquired, considering historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, the Update will require the use of a modified AFS debt security impairment model and eliminate the current accounting for PCI loans and debt securities.	These Updates are to be applied using a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The CECL model is a significant change from existing GAAP and may result in a material change to our accounting for financial assets and regulatory capital. While these Updates change the measurement of the Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL), it does not change the credit risk of our lending portfolios or the ultimate losses in those portfolios. However, the CECL ACL methodology could produce higher volatility in the quarterly provision for credit losses than our current reserve process. We have created a cross-functional management steering group to govern implementation and the Audit and Risk Committees and the Board of Directors receive regular updates. For loans measured at amortized cost we have implemented a new modeling platform and integrated other auxiliary models to support a calculation of expected credit losses under CECL. We have made preliminary decisions on segmentation, a reasonable and supportable forecast period, a reversion method and period and a historical loss forecast covering the remaining contractual life, adjusted for prepayments as well as other criteria necessary to execute parallel runs beginning with the June 30, 2019 portfolio balances to ensure we are ready to calculate, review and report on our CECL ACL for the first quarter of 2020. Based on our portfolio composition and forecasts of relatively stable macroeconomic conditions over the next two years, we currently estimate that our CECL ACL on the originated portfolio will increase in the range of 25% and 35%, primarily driven by our consumer portfolios. We expect a corresponding decrease in our common equity tier 1 (CET1) regulatory capital on a fully phased-in basis of 14-20 basis points (bps) and 11-15 bps for our tangible common equity (TCE) ratio. In addition, the ACL will increase an estimated $65-75 million for the ACL “gross-up” for PCI Loans at transition with a corresponding increase to the PCI Loans carrying value. There is no capital impact related to the PCI Loans transition. The estimated ACL represents Management’s estimate of credit losses over the full expected remaining life of the financial assets and also take into account expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions. We will continue to evaluate and refine our loss estimates through the remainder of 2019. The impact of this Update will be dependent on the portfolio composition and credit quality, as well as historical experience, current conditions and forecasts of economic conditions and interest rates at the time of adoption. The impact to our AFS and HTM debt securities is expected to be immaterial. Oversight and testing, as well as the development of policies, internal controls and preparation for expanded disclosure requirements will extend through the remainder of 2019. This Update will be effective as of January 1, 2020.

We do not intend to sell the debt securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

We evaluate our investment securities portfolio for OTTI on a quarterly basis. Impairment is assessed at the individual security level. We consider an investment security impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its cost or amortized cost basis. We did not recognize any OTTI losses on securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

States of the U.S. and Political Subdivisions

Our municipal bond portfolio with a carrying amount of $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2019 is highly rated with an average rating of AA and 100% of the portfolio rated A or better, while 99% have stand-alone ratings of A or better. All of the securities in the municipal portfolio are general obligation bonds. Geographically, municipal bonds support our primary footprint as 65% of the securities are from municipalities located in the primary states within which we conduct business. The average holding size of the securities in the municipal bond portfolio is $3.3 million. In addition to the strong stand-alone ratings, 63% of the municipalities have some formal credit enhancement insurance that strengthens the creditworthiness of their issue. Management reviews the credit profile of each issuer on a quarterly basis.

Total loans and leases, net of unearned income	$	18,062	$	4,091	$	22,153

The loans and leases portfolio categories are comprised of the following:


•	Commercial real estate includes both owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied loans secured by commercial properties;


•	Commercial and industrial includes loans to businesses that are not secured by real estate;


•	Commercial leases consist of leases for new or used equipment;


•	Other is comprised primarily of credit cards and mezzanine 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 1-4 family properties;


•	Indirect installment is comprised of loans originated by approved third parties and underwritten by us, primarily automobile loans; and


•	Consumer lines of credit include home equity lines of credit and consumer lines of credit that are either unsecured or secured by collateral other than home equity.

The loans and leases portfolio consists principally of loans to individuals and small- and medium-sized businesses within our primary market in seven states and the District of Columbia. Our primary market coverage spans several major metropolitan areas including: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; Cleveland, Ohio; Washington, D.C.; and Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and the Piedmont Triad (Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point) in North Carolina.

The following table shows certain information relating to commercial real estate loans:

TABLE 4.2



(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Commercial construction, acquisition and development loans	$	1,272		$	1,152
Percent of total loans and leases	5.5		%	5.2		%
Commercial real estate:
Percent owner-occupied	31.0		%	35.1		%
Percent non-owner-occupied	69.0		%	64.9		%

Additionally, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had residential construction loans of $393.9 million and $273.4 million, representing 1.7% and 1.2% of total loans and leases, respectively.

Loans Acquired in a Business Combination

All loans acquired in a business combination were initially recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. Refer to the Loans Acquired in a Business Combination section in Note 1 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of ASC 310-20 and ASC 310-30 loans. The outstanding balance and the carrying amount of loans acquired in a business combination included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

TABLE 4.3



(in millions)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Accounted for under ASC 310-30:
Outstanding balance	$	2,980	$	3,768
Carrying amount	2,741		3,570
Accounted for under ASC 310-20:
Outstanding balance	466		602
Carrying amount	452		513
Total loans acquired in a business combination:
Outstanding balance	3,446		4,370
Carrying amount	3,193		4,083

The outstanding balance is the undiscounted sum of all amounts owed under the loan, including amounts deemed principal, interest, fees, penalties and other, whether or not currently due and whether or not any such amounts have been written off or charged off.

The carrying amount of purchased credit impaired loans included in the table above totaled $1.6 million and $1.7 million September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, representing 0.05% and 0.04%, respectively, of the carrying amount of total loans acquired in a business combination as of each date.

The following table provides changes in accretable yield for all loans acquired in business combinations that are accounted for under ASC 310-30. Loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 are not included in this table.

TABLE 4.4



	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Other	—			(1		)
Accretion	(140		)	(170		)
Balance at end of period	$	476		$	605

Cash flows expected to be collected on loans acquired in business combinations are estimated quarterly by incorporating several key assumptions similar to the initial estimate of fair value. These key assumptions include probability of default and the amount of actual prepayments after the acquisition date. Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans and could change the amount of interest income. In reforecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary. Improved cash flow expectations for loans or pools are recorded first as a reversal of previously recorded impairment, if any, and then as an increase in prospective yield when all previously recorded impairment has been recaptured. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment through a charge to the provision for credit losses and credit to the allowance for credit losses.

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition over recorded fair value is referred to as the accretable yield.

The accretable yield is recognized into income over the remaining life of the loan, or pool of loans, using an effective yield

method, since the timing and/or amount of cash flows expected to be collected can be reasonably estimated (the accretion model). The difference between the loan’s total scheduled principal and interest payments over all cash flows expected at acquisition is referred to as the non-accretable difference. The non-accretable difference represents contractually required principal and interest payments which we do not expect to collect.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there was an overall improvement in cash flow expectations which resulted in a net reclassification of $80.7 million from the non-accretable difference to accretable yield primarily driven by overall improvement in the primary credit quality indicators of the majority of the acquired loan pools. This reclassification was $184.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The reclassification from the non-accretable difference to the accretable yield results in prospective yield adjustments on the loan pools.

Credit Quality

Management monitors the credit quality of our loan portfolio using several performance measures based on payment activity and borrower performance.

Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and non-performing TDRs. Past due loans are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans for non-accrual status. We place loans on non-accrual status and discontinue interest accruals on loans generally when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for a certain number of days or when the full amount of principal and interest is due and has remained unpaid for a certain number of days, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Commercial loans and leases are placed on non-accrual at 90 days, installment loans are placed on non-accrual at 120 days and residential mortgages and consumer lines of credit are placed on non-accrual at 180 days, though we may place a loan on non-accrual prior to these past due thresholds as warranted. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest have been paid and the ultimate ability to collect the remaining principal and interest is reasonably assured. The majority of TDRs are loans in which we have granted a concession on the original repayment terms due to the borrower’s financial distress.

Following is a summary of non-performing assets:

The carrying value of residential other real estate owned held as a result of obtaining physical possession upon completion of a foreclosure or through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure amounted to $3.9 million at September 30, 2019 and $6.3 million at December 31, 2018. The recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 totaled $8.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

(1)

Loans acquired in a business combination are considered performing upon acquisition, regardless of whether the customer is contractually delinquent, if we can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of expected cash flows on such loans. In these instances, we do not consider acquired contractually delinquent loans to be non-accrual or non-performing and continue to recognize interest income on these loans using the accretion method. Loans acquired in a business combination are considered non-accrual or non-performing when, due to credit deterioration or other factors, we determine we are no longer able to reasonably estimate the timing and amount of expected cash flows on such loans. We do not recognize interest income on loans acquired in a business combination considered non-accrual or non-performing.


(2)	Past due information for loans acquired in a business combination is based on the contractual balance outstanding at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

We utilize the following categories to monitor credit quality within our commercial loan and lease portfolio:

TABLE 4.7



Rating Category	Definition
Pass	in general, the condition of the borrower and the performance of the loan is satisfactory or better

Special Mention	in general, the condition of the borrower has deteriorated, requiring an increased level of monitoring

Substandard	in general, the condition of the borrower has significantly deteriorated and the performance of the loan could further deteriorate if deficiencies are not corrected

Doubtful	in general, the condition of the borrower has significantly deteriorated and the collection in full of both principal and interest is highly questionable or improbable

The use of these internally assigned credit quality categories within the commercial loan and lease portfolio permits management’s use of transition matrices to estimate a quantitative portion of credit risk. Our internal credit risk grading system is based on past experiences with similarly graded loans and leases and conforms with regulatory categories. In general, loan and lease risk ratings within each category are reviewed on an ongoing basis according to our policy for each class of loans and leases. 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 and lease portfolio. Loans and leases within the Pass credit category or that migrate toward the Pass credit category generally have a lower risk of loss compared to loans and leases that migrate toward the Substandard or Doubtful credit categories. Accordingly, management applies higher risk factors to Substandard and Doubtful credit categories.

The following tables present a summary of our commercial loans and leases by credit quality category, segregated by loans and leases originated and loans acquired:

Credit quality information for loans acquired in a business combination is based on the contractual balance outstanding at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

We use delinquency transition matrices within the consumer and other loan classes to enable management to estimate a quantitative portion of credit risk. Each month, management analyzes payment and volume activity, Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores and other external factors such as unemployment, to determine how consumer loans are performing.

Following is a table showing consumer loans by payment status:

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 and lease contract is doubtful. Typically, we do 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, imminent foreclosure proceedings, etc.). Impairment is evaluated in the aggregate for consumer installment loans, residential mortgages, consumer lines of credit and commercial loan relationships less than $1.0 million based on loan segment loss given default. For commercial loan relationships greater than or equal to $1.0 million, 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 a market interest rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the sale of the collateral. Consistent with our existing method of income recognition for loans, interest income on impaired loans, except those classified as non-accrual, is recognized using the accrual method. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Following is a summary of information pertaining to loans and leases considered to be impaired, by class of loan and lease:

Interest income continued to accrue on certain impaired loans and totaled approximately $4.5 million and $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The above tables include one loan acquired in a business combination with a specific reserve at December 31, 2018.

Following is a summary of the allowance for credit losses required for loans acquired in a business combination due to changes in credit quality subsequent to the acquisition date:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

TDRs are loans whose contractual terms have been modified in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. TDRs typically result from loss mitigation activities and could include the extension of a maturity date, interest rate reduction, principal forgiveness, deferral or decrease in payments for a period of time and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral.

Following is a summary of the composition of total TDRs:

TABLE 4.12



(in millions)	Originated		Acquired		Total
September 30, 2019
Accruing:
Performing	$	20	$	—	$	20
Non-performing	16		3		19
Non-accrual	14		—		14
Total TDRs	$	50	$	3	$	53
December 31, 2018
Accruing:
Performing	$	18	$	—	$	18
Non-performing	17		4		21
Non-accrual	9		—		9
Total TDRs	$	44	$	4	$	48

TDRs that are accruing and performing include loans that met the criteria for non-accrual of interest prior to restructuring for which we can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of the expected cash flows on such loans and for which we expect to fully collect the new carrying value of the loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we returned to performing status $3.8 million in restructured residential mortgage loans that have consistently met their modified obligations for more than six months. TDRs that are accruing and non-performing are comprised of consumer loans that have not demonstrated a consistent repayment pattern on the modified terms for more than six months, however it is expected that we will collect all future principal and interest payments. TDRs that are on non-accrual are not placed on accruing status until all delinquent principal and interest have been paid and the ultimate collectability of the remaining principal and interest is reasonably

assured. Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, and may result in potential incremental losses which are factored into the allowance for credit losses.

Excluding purchased credit impaired loans, commercial loans over $1.0 million whose terms have been modified in a TDR are generally placed on non-accrual, individually analyzed and measured for estimated impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Our allowance for credit losses included specific reserves for commercial TDRs and pooled reserves for individually impaired loans under $1.0 million based on loan segment loss given default. Our allowance for loan losses includes specific reserves for commercial TDRs of less than $0.5 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and pooled reserves for individual loans of $0.8 million and $0.5 million for those same respective periods, based on loan segment loss given default. Upon default, the amount of the recorded investment in the TDR in excess of the fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs, is generally considered a confirmed loss and is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses.

All other classes of loans whose terms have been modified in a TDR are pooled and measured for estimated impairment based on the expected net present value of the estimated future cash flows of the pool. Our allowance for credit losses included pooled reserves for these classes of loans of $3.7 million for September 30, 2019 and $4.0 million for December 31, 2018. Upon default of an individual loan, our charge-off policy is followed for that class of loan.

NOTE 5. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for credit losses addresses credit losses inherent in the existing loan and lease portfolio and is presented as a reserve against loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Loan and lease losses are charged off against the allowance for credit losses, with recoveries of amounts previously charged off credited to the allowance for credit losses. Provisions for credit losses are charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses. Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for credit losses, by loan and lease class:

Fair value, end of period	40.5			41.7			40.5			41.7

The fair value of MSRs is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions and is determined by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows utilizing market-based prepayment rates, discount rates and other assumptions validated through comparison to trade information, industry surveys and with the use of independent third-party valuations. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of MSRs. Generally, as interest rates decline, mortgage loan prepayments accelerate due to increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of the MSR and as interest rates increase, mortgage loan prepayments decline, which results in an increase in the fair value of the MSR. Measurement of fair value is limited to the conditions existing and the assumptions utilized as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied at a different time.

Following is a summary of the sensitivity of the fair value of MSRs to changes in key assumptions:

TABLE 6.4



(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Weighted average life (months)	75.0			82.2

+0.25%	$	3		$	3
+0.50%	5			5
-0.25%	(3		)	(3		)
-0.50%	(5		)	(6		)

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the changes in assumptions to fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effects of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumptions, while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changing another, which may magnify or contract the effect of the change. We had a $3.4 million valuation allowance for MSRs as of September 30, 2019, with $2.9 million added during the first nine months of 2019.

SBA-Guaranteed Loan Servicing

We retain the servicing rights on SBA-guaranteed loans sold to investors. The standard sale structure under the SBA Secondary Participation Guaranty Agreement provides for us to retain a portion of the cash flow from the interest payment received on the SBA guaranteed portion of the loan, which is commonly known as a servicing spread. The unpaid principal balance of SBA-guaranteed loans serviced for investors was as follows:

TABLE 6.5



(in millions)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
SBA loans sold to investors with servicing retained	$	241	$	283

The following table summarizes activity relating to SBA loans sold with servicing retained:

The fair value of the SBA servicing rights is compared to the amortized basis. If the amortized basis exceeds the fair value, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to fair value through a valuation allowance on the asset and a charge against other non-interest income. We had a $1.1 million valuation allowance for SBA servicing rights as of September 30, 2019, with $0.3 million added during the first nine months of 2019.

NOTE 7. OPERATING LEASES

We have operating leases primarily for certain branches, office space, land, and office equipment. Our operating leases expire at various dates through the year 2046 and generally include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. As of September 30, 2019, we had operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $124.1 million and $130.5 million, respectively.

Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of transactions and others include rental payments that periodically adjust to rates and charges stated in the agreements. Our operating lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As of September 30, 2019, we have certain operating lease agreements, primarily for administrative office space, that have not yet commenced. At commencement, it is expected that these leases will add approximately $28 million in right-of-use assets and other liabilities. These operating leases will commence between 2019 and 2020 with lease terms of 10 years to 15 years.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Additional information relating to commercial leasing is provided in Note 4, “Loans and Leases” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 8. BORROWINGS

Following is a summary of short-term borrowings:

TABLE 8.1



(in millions)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Securities sold under repurchase agreements	$	259	$	251
Federal Home Loan Bank advances	1,565		2,230
Federal funds purchased	1,214		1,535
Subordinated notes	106		113
Total short-term borrowings	$	3,144	$	4,129

Borrowings with original maturities of one year or less are classified as short-term. Securities sold under repurchase agreements are comprised of customer repurchase agreements, which are sweep accounts with next day maturities utilized by larger commercial customers to earn interest on their funds. Securities are pledged to these customers in an amount at least equal to the outstanding balance. Of the total short-term FHLB advances, 13.4% and 57.2% had overnight maturities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At September 30, 2019, $1.4 billion, or 86.6%, of the short-term FHLB advances were swapped to a fixed rate with maturities ranging from 2020 through 2024. This compares to $1.0 billion, of 42.8%, as of December 31, 2018.

Following is a summary of long-term borrowings:

TABLE 8.2



(in millions)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Federal Home Loan Bank advances	$	935	$	270
Subordinated notes	90		87
Junior subordinated debt	66		111
Other subordinated debt	249		159
Total long-term borrowings	$	1,340	$	627

Our banking affiliate has available credit with the FHLB of $8.1 billion, of which $2.5 billion was utilized as of September 30, 2019. These advances are secured by loans collateralized by residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate and FHLB stock and are scheduled to mature in various amounts periodically through the year 2022. Effective interest rates paid on the long-term advances ranged from 1.62% to 2.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 1.39% to 4.19% for the year ended December 31, 2018.

During the first quarter of 2019, we completed a debt offering in which we issued $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due in 2029. The net proceeds of the debt offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs were $118.2 million. A portion of these proceeds were utilized to repurchase and retire $9.5 million and redeem $15.5 million in higher interest rate other subordinated debt assumed in the 2017 YDKN acquisition. We also redeemed $44.0 million of TPS that we previously assumed through various acquisitions. This subordinated debt is eligible for treatment as tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

The junior subordinated debt is comprised of the debt securities issued by FNB in relation to our unconsolidated subsidiary trusts (collectively, the Trusts), which are unconsolidated variable interest entities, and are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in long-term borrowings. Since third-party investors are the primary beneficiaries, the Trusts are not

consolidated in our Financial Statements. We record the distributions on the junior subordinated debt issued to the Trusts as interest expense.

The following table provides information relating to the Trusts as of September 30, 2019:

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate risk, primarily by managing the amount, source, and duration of our assets and liabilities, and through the use of derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are used to reduce the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income and cash flows. We also use derivative instruments to facilitate transactions on behalf of our customers.

All derivatives are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and do not take into account the effects of master netting arrangements we have with other financial institutions. Credit risk is included in the determination of the estimated fair value of derivatives. Derivative assets are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other assets and derivative liabilities are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings except for certain changes related to derivative instruments designated as part of a cash flow hedging relationship.

The following table presents notional amounts and gross fair values of our derivative assets and derivative liabilities which are not offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

TABLE 9.1

Total	$	9,189	$	207	$	30	$	6,942	$	43	$	39

Certain derivative exchanges have enacted a rule change which in effect results in the legal characterization of variation margin payments for certain derivative contracts as settlement of the derivatives mark-to-market exposure and not collateral. Accordingly, we have changed our reporting of certain derivatives to record variation margin on trades cleared through these exchanges as settled. The daily settlement of the derivative exposure does not change or reset the contractual terms of the instrument.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments under GAAP

Interest Rate Contracts. We entered into interest rate derivative agreements to modify the interest rate characteristics of certain commercial loans and certain of our FHLB advances from variable rate to fixed rate in order to reduce the impact of changes in future cash flows due to market interest rate changes. These agreements are designated as cash flow hedges, hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows. The derivative’s gain or loss, including any ineffectiveness, is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Prior to 2019, any ineffective portion of the gain or loss was reported in earnings immediately.

The following table shows amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income:

TABLE 9.2

Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into income as a result of that a forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring	—			—		—		—

As of September 30, 2019, the maximum length of time over which forecasted interest cash flows are hedged is 5.2 years. In the twelve months that follow September 30, 2019, we expect to reclassify from the amount currently reported in AOCI net derivative gains of $4.0 million ($3.1 million net of tax), in association with interest on the hedged loans and FHLB advances. This amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations, and the addition of other hedges subsequent to September 30, 2019.

There were no components of derivative gains or losses excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness related to these cash flow hedges. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no gains or losses from cash flow hedge derivatives reclassified to earnings because it became probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments under GAAP

A description of interest rate swaps, interest rate lock commitments, forward delivery commitments and credit risk contracts can be found in Note 14 "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019.

The interest rate swap agreement with the loan customer and with the counterparty is reported at fair value in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with any resulting gain or loss recorded in current period earnings as other income or other expense.

Risk participation agreements sold with notional amounts totaling $212.9 million as of September 30, 2019 have remaining terms ranging from three months to nine years. Under these agreements, our maximum exposure assuming a customer defaults on their obligation to perform under certain derivative swap contracts with third parties would be $0.4 million at September 30, 2019 and $0.1 million at December 31, 2018. The fair values of risk participation agreements purchased and sold were $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, at September 30, 2019 and $0.05 million and $0.11 million, respectively at December 31, 2018.

The following table presents the effect of certain derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income:

Counterparty Credit Risk

We are party to master netting arrangements with most of our swap derivative dealer counterparties. Collateral, usually marketable securities and/or cash, is exchanged between FNB and our counterparties, and is generally subject to thresholds and transfer minimums. For swap transactions that require central clearing, we post cash to our clearing agency. Collateral positions are settled or valued daily, and adjustments to amounts received and pledged by us are made as appropriate to maintain proper collateralization for these transactions.

Certain master netting agreements contain provisions that, if violated, could cause the counterparties to request immediate settlement or demand full collateralization under the derivative instrument. If we had breached our agreements with our derivative counterparties we would be required to settle our obligations under the agreements at the termination value and would be required to pay an additional $0.2 million and $0.7 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, in excess of amounts previously posted as collateral with the respective counterparty.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the net amounts of derivative assets and derivative liabilities presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the net amounts that would result in the event of offset:

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS, CREDIT RISK AND CONTINGENCIES

We have 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 Sheets. Our 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 commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans and leases 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:

TABLE 10.1



(in millions)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Commitments to extend credit	$	8,427	$	7,378
Standby letters of credit	153		126

At September 30, 2019, funding of 73.3% of the commitments to extend credit was dependent on the financial condition of the customer. We have the ability to withdraw such commitments at our 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 us that may require payment at a future date. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is actively monitored through review of the historical performance of our portfolios.

In addition to the above commitments, subordinated notes issued by FNB Financial Services, LP, a wholly-owned finance subsidiary, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by FNB. These subordinated notes are included in the summaries of short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings in Note 8.

Other Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may assert claims in legal proceedings against another party or parties, and we are routinely named as defendants in, or made parties to, pending and potential legal actions. Also, as regulated entities, we are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information-gathering requests, and may be subject to investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal). Such threatened claims, litigation, investigations, regulatory and administrative proceedings typically entail matters that are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Claims for significant monetary damages may be asserted in many of these types of legal actions, while claims for disgorgement, restitution, penalties and/or other remedial actions or sanctions may be sought in regulatory matters. In these instances, if we determine that we have meritorious defenses, we will engage in an aggressive defense. However, if management determines, in consultation with counsel, that settlement of a matter is in the best interest of our Company and our shareholders, we may do so. It is inherently difficult to predict the eventual outcomes of such matters given their complexity and the particular facts and circumstances at issue in each of these matters. However, on the basis of current knowledge and understanding, and advice of counsel, we do not believe that judgments, sanctions, settlements or orders, if any, that may arise from these matters (either individually or in the aggregate, after giving effect to applicable reserves and insurance coverage) will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or liquidity, although they could have a material effect on net income in a given period.

In view of the inherent unpredictability of outcomes in litigation and governmental and regulatory matters, particularly where (i) the damages sought are indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) the matters involve novel legal theories or a large number of parties, as a matter of course, there is considerable uncertainty surrounding the timing or ultimate resolution of litigation and governmental and regulatory matters, including a possible eventual loss, fine, penalty, business or adverse reputational impact, if any, associated with each such matter. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we establish accruals for litigation and governmental and regulatory matters when those matters proceed to a stage where they present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be a possible exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. We will continue to monitor such matters for developments that could affect the amount of the accrual, and will adjust the accrual amount as appropriate. If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, we do not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. We believe that our accruals for legal proceedings are appropriate and, in the aggregate, are not material to our consolidated financial position, although future accruals could have a material effect on net income in a given period.

NOTE 11. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

Restricted Stock

We issue restricted stock awards to key employees under our Incentive Compensation Plan (Plan). We issue time-based awards and performance-based awards under this Plan, both of which are based on a three-year vesting period. The grant date fair value of the time-based awards is equal to the price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of the performance-based awards is based on a Monte-Carlo simulation valuation of our common stock as of the grant date. The assumptions used for this valuation include stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. As of September 30, 2019, we had available up to 1,620,243 shares of common stock to issue under this Plan.

TABLE 11.1

The unvested restricted stock unit awards are eligible to receive cash dividends or dividend equivalents which are ultimately used to purchase additional shares of stock and 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.

The following table summarizes the activity relating to restricted stock units during the periods indicated:

Stock Options

All outstanding stock options were assumed from acquisitions and are fully vested. Upon consummation of our acquisitions, all outstanding stock options issued by the acquired companies were converted into equivalent FNB stock options. We issue shares of treasury stock or authorized but unissued shares to satisfy stock options exercised.

The following table summarizes the activity relating to stock options during the periods indicated:

TABLE 11.5



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019				2018
	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share
Options outstanding at beginning of period	458,354		$	7.99	722,650		$	7.96

Options outstanding and exercisable at end of period	397,628		8.10		503,035		7.97

The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options at September 30, 2019 was $1.4 million. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the amount by which the fair value of underlying stock exceeds the option exercise price.

Warrants

In conjunction with the YDKN acquisition on March 11, 2017, the warrant issued by YDKN to the UST under the Capital Purchase Program has been converted into a warrant to purchase up to 207,320 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.63 per share. Subsequent adjustments related to actual dividends paid by us have increased the share amount of these warrants to 225,439 with a resulting lower exercise price of $8.86 per share as of June 30, 2019. The warrant, which was recorded at its fair value on March 11, 2017, was sold at auction by the UST and was exercised prior to expiring in July 2019.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Expense

Federal and state income tax expense and the statutory tax rate and the actual effective tax rate consist of the following:

TABLE 12.1



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Current income taxes:
Federal taxes	$	(3	)	$	8		$	24		$	31
State taxes	—			1			3			4
Total current income taxes	(3		)	9			27			35
Deferred income taxes:

State taxes	1			—			2			1
Total deferred income taxes	20			13			36			29
Total income taxes	$	17		$	22		$	63		$	64
Statutory tax rate	21.0		%	21.0		%	21.0		%	21.0		%
Effective tax rate	14.5		%	18.0		%	17.8		%	19.0		%

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was lower than the statutory tax rate of 21% due to tax benefits resulting from tax-exempt income on investments and loans, tax credits and income from BOLI. The lower effective tax rate in 2019 is primarily due to the impact from renewable energy investment and historic tax credits realized in the third quarter of 2019.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. Net deferred tax assets were $24.9 million and $67.5 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

NOTE 13. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The following table presents changes in AOCI, net of tax, by component:

TABLE 13.1



(in millions)	Unrealized Net Losses on Debt Securities Available for Sale			Unrealized Net Gains (Losses) on Derivative Instruments			Unrecognized Pension and Postretirement Obligations			Total

The amounts reclassified from AOCI related to debt securities AFS are included in net securities gains on the Consolidated Statements of Income, while the amounts reclassified from AOCI related to derivative instruments are included in interest income on loans and leases on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The tax (benefit) expense amounts reclassified from AOCI in connection with the debt securities AFS and derivative instruments reclassifications are included in income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 14. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

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 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 and restricted shares, 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.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

TABLE 14.1



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

NOTE 16. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We operate in three reportable segments: Community Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance.

•

The Community Banking segment provides commercial and consumer banking services. Commercial banking solutions include corporate banking, small business banking, investment real estate financing, business credit, capital markets and lease financing. Consumer banking products and services include deposit products, mortgage lending, consumer lending and a complete suite of mobile and online banking services.


•	The Wealth Management segment provides a broad range of personal and corporate fiduciary services including the administration of decedent and trust estates. In addition, it offers various alternative products, including securities brokerage and investment advisory services, mutual funds and annuities.


•	The Insurance segment includes a full-service insurance agency offering all lines of commercial and personal insurance through major carriers. The Insurance segment also includes a reinsurer.

We also previously operated a Consumer Finance segment, which is no longer a reportable segment. This segment primarily made installment loans to individuals and purchased installment sales finance contracts from retail merchants. On August 31, 2018, as part of our strategy to enhance the overall positioning of our consumer banking operations, we sold 100 percent of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Regency to Mariner Finance, LLC. This transaction was completed to accomplish several strategic objectives, including enhancing the credit risk profile of the consumer loan portfolio, offering additional liquidity and selling a non-strategic business segment that no longer fits with our core business. Regency's financial information is included in the Consumer Finance segment in the 2018 tables that follow.

The following tables provide financial information for these segments of FNB. The information provided under the caption “Parent and Other” represents operations not considered to be reportable segments and/or general operating expenses of FNB, and includes the parent company, other non-bank subsidiaries and eliminations and adjustments to reconcile to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Refer to Note 24 "Fair Value Measurements" to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019 for a description of additional valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis.

The following table presents additional information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and for which we have utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

TABLE 17.2



(in millions)	Interest Rate Lock Commitments			Total

Purchases, issuances, sales and settlements:
Purchases	5			5
Settlements	(6		)	(6		)
Balance at end of period	$	1		$	1

We review 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. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between the hierarchy levels during the first nine months of 2019 or 2018.

In accordance with GAAP, from time to time, we measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Valuation methodologies used to measure these fair value adjustments were described in Note 24 "Fair Value Measurements" in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis still held at the Balance Sheet date, the following table provides the hierarchy level and the fair value of the related assets or portfolios:

TABLE 17.3

Substantially all of the fair value amounts in the table above were estimated at a date during the nine months or twelve months ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Consequently, the fair value information presented is not necessarily as of the period’s end. MSRs measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis of $31.9 million had a valuation allowance of $2.9 million included in earnings, bringing the September 30, 2019 carrying value to $28.5 million.

Impaired loans measured or re-measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 had a carrying amount of $6.7 million, which includes an allocated allowance for credit losses of $6.3 million. The allowance for credit losses includes a provision applicable to the current period fair value measurements of $11.2 million, which was included in the provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

OREO with a carrying amount of $2.4 million was written down to $1.6 million, resulting in a loss of $0.8 million, which was included in earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Refer to Note 24 "Fair Value Measurements" to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019 for a description of methods and assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of each financial instrument.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MD&A represents an overview of and highlights material changes to our financial condition and consolidated results of operations at and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained herein and our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019. Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

We make statements in this Report and may from time-to-time make other statements regarding our outlook for earnings, revenues, expenses, tax rates, capital and liquidity levels and ratios, asset quality levels, financial position and other matters regarding or affecting our current or future business and operations. These statements can be considered as “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward‑looking statements involve various assumptions, risks and uncertainties which can change over time. Actual results or future events may be different from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements and may not align with historical performance and events. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance upon such statements. 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. We do not assume any duty to update forward-looking statements, except as required by federal securities laws.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties:

•

Our business, financial results and balance sheet values are affected by business and economic circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) developments with respect to the U.S. and global financial markets; (ii) actions by the FRB, UST, OCC and other governmental agencies, especially those that impact money supply, market interest rates or otherwise affect business activities of the financial services industry; (iii) a slowing or reversal of current U.S. economic environment; and (iv) the impacts of tariffs or other trade policies of the U.S. or its global trading partners.


•	Business and operating results are affected by our ability to identify and effectively manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where appropriate, through effective use of systems and controls, third-party insurance, derivatives, and capital management techniques, and to meet evolving regulatory capital and liquidity standards.


•	Competition can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and retention, and on credit spreads, deposit gathering and product pricing, which can affect market share, deposits and revenues.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A description of our critical accounting policies is included in the MD&A section of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019 under the heading “Application of Critical Accounting Policies”. There have been no significant changes in critical accounting policies or the assumptions and judgments utilized in applying these policies since December 31, 2018.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

To supplement our Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating net income available to common stockholders, operating earnings per diluted common share, return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, the ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, efficiency ratio and net interest margin (FTE) to provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators we use may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to assess their performance and trends.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental in nature, and not as a substitute for or superior to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. When non-GAAP financial measures are disclosed, the SEC's Regulation G requires: (i) the presentation of the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure presented and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included later in this report under the heading “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators to GAAP”.

Management believes charges such as branch consolidation costs and special one-time employee 401(k) contributions related to tax reform are not organic costs to run our operations and facilities. These charges are considered significant items impacting earnings as they are deemed to be outside of ordinary banking activities. The branch consolidation charges principally represent expenses to satisfy contractual obligations of the closed branches without any useful ongoing benefit to us. These costs are specific to each individual transaction, and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction. Similarly, gains derived from the sale of a business are not organic to our operations.

To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margin and efficiency ratio, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets (loans and investments) to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments (this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP). Taxable-equivalent amounts for the 2019 and 2018 periods were calculated using a federal statutory income tax rate of 21%.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2019 was $100.7 million or $0.31 per diluted common share, compared to net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2018 of $98.8 million or $0.30 per diluted common share. On an operating basis, third quarter of 2019 net income available to common stockholders was equal to GAAP/reported at $100.7 million or $0.31 per diluted common share, compared to the third quarter of 2018 net income available to common stockholders (non-GAAP) of $94.7 million or $0.29 per diluted common share (non-GAAP), excluding a $5.1 million gain recognized from the sale of Regency.

Income Statement Highlights (Third quarter of 2019 compared to third quarter of 2018, except as noted)


•	Net income available to common stockholders was $100.7 million, compared to $98.8 million, up 2.0%.


•	Earnings per diluted common share were $0.31, compared to $0.30, up 3.3%.


•	Operating earnings per diluted common share (non-GAAP) were $0.31, compared to $0.29, up 6.9%.

•

Net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) declined 19 basis points to 3.17% from 3.36%, attributable to increased cost of funds and the sale of Regency which contributed 8 basis points to net interest margin in the third quarter of 2018. The third quarter of 2019 included $8.1 million of incremental purchase accounting accretion and $0.6 million of cash recoveries, compared to $5.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018.

•

Non-interest income increased $5.2 million, or 6.9%. Capital markets income grew $3.6 million, or 70.8%, reflecting strong customer-related interest rate derivative activity. Mortgage banking operations income increased $3.8 million, or 63.6%, due to a $4.1 million increase in gain on sale income, partially offset by a $0.3 million interest rate-related valuation adjustment on mortgage servicing rights. Insurance commissions and fees increased $1.1 million, or 22.8%, while trust income grew $0.5 million, or 8.4%. On an operating basis, non-interest income increased $10.3 million, or 14.8%, when excluding the $5.1 million gain on the sale of Regency in the third quarter of 2018.


•	The provision for credit losses of $11.9 million supported strong loan growth and exceeded net charge-offs of $6.4 million. The low level of net charge-offs reflects favorable credit quality.


•	The annualized net charge-offs to total average loans ratio decreased 16 basis points to 0.11%, compared to 0.27%, indicative of continued favorable credit quality trends and the sale of Regency.


•	The effective tax rate was 14.5%, and includes the benefit of certain renewable energy and historic tax credits realized during the quarter, compared to 18.0%.


•	The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) equaled 54.1%, compared to 53.7%.


•	Return on average tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP) was 17.41%, compared to 19.44%.

Balance Sheet Highlights (period-end balances, September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018, unless otherwise indicated)


•	Growth in total average loans compared to the third quarter of 2018 was $1.0 billion, or 4.4%, with average commercial loan growth of $789.0 million, or 5.8%, and average consumer loan growth of $163.5 million, or 2.0%.


•	Total average deposits grew $1.0 billion, or 4.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2018, including an increase in average non-interest-bearing deposits of $240.7 million, or 4.0%, an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $674.4 million, or 7.2%, and an increase in average time deposits of $93.5 million, or 1.8%.


•	The ratio of loans to deposits was 93.8%, compared to 94.4%.


•	The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans and leases remained stable at 0.84%, compared to 0.81%.


•	Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) of $7.33 increased 14% from September 30, 2018.


•	Tangible common equity to tangible assets of 7.44% increased 55 basis points from September 30, 2018.

(1)	The average balances and yields earned on securities are based on historical cost.

(2)

The interest income amounts are reflected on an FTE basis (non-GAAP), which adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%. The yield on earning assets and the net interest margin are presented on an FTE basis. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.


(3)	Average balances include non-accrual loans. Loans and leases consist of average total loans less average unearned income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased $4.9 million, or 2.0%, from $238.2 million for the third quarter of 2018 to $233.3 million for the third quarter of 2019. Average interest-earning assets of $29.3 billion increased $1.1 billion, or 3.9%, and average interest-bearing liabilities of $22.5 billion increased $0.8 billion, or 3.8%, from 2018, due to organic growth in loans and deposits. Our net interest margin FTE (non-GAAP) was 3.17% for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 3.36% for the same period of 2018, reflecting a 19 basis point decrease primarily related to the sale of Regency in the third quarter of 2018 and funding cost impacts from the interest rate environment. Regency contributed $5.6 million, or 8 basis points to the net interest margin in the third quarter of 2018. The third quarter of 2019 included $8.1 million of incremental purchase accounting accretion and $0.6 million of cash recoveries, compared to $5.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018. The FOMC cut the target Fed Funds rate by 25 basis points in both July and September 2019. In 2018, the FOMC increased the target Fed Funds rate by 75 basis points between March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018.

The following table provides certain information regarding changes in net interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) 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 three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018:

(1)	The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume changes was allocated between the change due to rate and the change due to volume based on the net size of the rate and volume changes.


(2)	Interest income amounts are reflected on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) which adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

Interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) of $317.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, increased $16.7 million or 5.6% from the same quarter of 2018, primarily due to increased interest-earning assets of $1.1 billion. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily driven by a $1.0 billion, or 4.4%, increase in average loans and leases, which reflects solid growth in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios, partially offset by the sale of Regency. Average commercial loan growth totaled $789.0 million, or 5.8%, led by strong commercial activity in the Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Charlotte and Mid-Atlantic (Greater Baltimore-Washington D.C. markets) regions and continued growth in the equipment finance and asset-based lending businesses. Average consumer loan growth was $163.5 million, or 2.0%, as growth in indirect auto loans of $126.5 million, or 6.9%, and residential mortgage loans of $269.4 million, or 9.2%, was partially offset by declines in average direct installment loans of $97.5 million, or 5.3% and consumer lines of credit of $135.3 million, or 8.3% and the sale of Regency. Additionally, average securities decreased $70.0 million, or 1.1%, due to higher loan growth in 2019. The yield on average interest-earning

assets (non-GAAP) increased 7 basis points from the third quarter of 2018 to 4.31% for the third quarter of 2019. During the third quarter of 2019, we recognized $8.1 million of incremental purchase accounting accretion and $0.6 million of cash recoveries, compared to $5.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018.

Interest expense of $84.6 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $21.6 million, or 34.2%, from the same quarter of 2018, due to an increase in rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities and growth in average interest-bearing deposits over the same quarter of 2018. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $0.7 billion, or 4.3%, while average non-interest-bearing deposits increased $240.7 million, or 4.0%. The growth in non-interest-bearing deposits and interest-bearing deposits was led by organic growth in personal and commercial relationships. Average short-term borrowings decreased $632.2 million, or 16.4%, primarily as a result of decreases of $427.6 million in short-term FHLB advances and $202.9 million in federal funds purchased. Average long-term borrowings increased $711.2 million, or 113.3%, primarily resulting from increases of $665.0 million in long-term FHLB advances and $90.0 million in subordinated debt, partially offset by a decrease of $45.0 million in junior subordinated debt. The funding of both fixed and adjustable longer-term borrowings was opportunistically transacted to take advantage of the lower interest rate environment and add liquidity to support loan growth. During the first quarter of 2019, we issued $120.0 million of 4.950% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due in 2029. We used part of the proceeds from this issuance to redeem higher-rate debt including $44.0 million in junior subordinated debt and $25.0 million in other subordinated debt. The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 34 basis points to 1.49% for the third quarter of 2019, due to changes in the funding mix combined with the interest rate increases made by the FOMC in 2018.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is determined based on management’s estimates of the appropriate level of allowance for credit losses needed to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio, after giving consideration to charge-offs and recoveries for the period. The following table presents information regarding the provision for credit losses and net charge-offs:

Net loan charge-offs (annualized) / total average loans and leases	0.11		%	0.27		%
Net originated loan charge-offs (annualized) / total average originated loans and leases	0.11		%	0.33		%

The provision for credit losses of $11.9 million during the third quarter of 2019 was down 25.4% from the same period of 2018. Net loan charge-offs were $6.4 million, a decrease of $8.2 million. The decline in net charge-offs was attributable to continued favorable asset quality trends and the sale of Regency. For additional information relating to the allowance and provision for credit losses, refer to the Allowance for Credit Losses section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Non-Interest Income

The breakdown of non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is presented in the following table:

Total non-interest income	$	80,000	$	74,834	$	5,166		6.9	%

Total non-interest income increased $5.2 million, to $80.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, a 6.9% increase from the same period of 2018. Excluding the $5.1 million gain on the sale of Regency in the third quarter of 2018, non-interest income increased $10.3 million, or 14.8%.

Service charges on loans and deposits of $33.2 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $1.2 million, or 3.9%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to organic growth in loan and deposit accounts.

Trust services of $6.9 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $0.5 million, or 8.4%, from the same period of 2018, primarily driven by strong organic revenue production. The market value of assets under management increased $436.4 million, or 8.2%, to $5.7 billion at September 30, 2019, which included continued strong organic growth in accounts and services.

Insurance commissions and fees of $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $1.1 million, or 22.8%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to the benefit of new business in the Mid-Atlantic and Carolina regions of our footprint, as well as organic growth in commercial lines.

Capital markets income of $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $3.6 million, or 70.8%, from the same period of 2018. The significant increase was primarily due to strong customer-related interest-rate derivative activity and continued contributions from our syndications and international banking businesses across our footprint.

Mortgage banking operations income of $9.8 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $3.8 million, or 63.6%, from the same period of 2018 due to a $4.1 million increase in gain on sale income, partially offset by a $0.3 million interest rate-related valuation impairment adjustment on MSRs. During the third quarter of 2019, we sold $568.4 million of originated residential mortgage loans, compared to $322.2 million for the same period of 2018, an increase of 76.5%. We were able to increase income by improving the mix of retail loans sold versus correspondent loans, as retail loans have a greater gain on sale margin than correspondent loans.

Dividends on non-marketable equity securities of $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $0.7 million, or 17.5%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in the FHLB dividend rate.

Bank owned life insurance of $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $1.7 million, or 38.2%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to a large death claim payout during the third quarter of 2018, which resulted in additional income of $1.4 million.

Other non-interest income was $3.9 million and $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. We recognized $1.8 million more in net gains on the sale of OREO during the third quarter of 2019, compared to the same period of 2018, while the third quarter of 2018 included a $5.1 million gain on the sale of Regency.

Non-Interest Expense

The breakdown of non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is presented in the following table:

Total non-interest expense	$	177,784	$	170,729	$	7,055		4.1	%

Total non-interest expense of $177.8 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $7.1 million, or 4.1%, from the same period of 2018. The variances in the individual non-interest expense items are further explained in the following paragraphs.

Salaries and employee benefits of $93.6 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $4.1 million, or 4.5%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to higher production-related commissions and normal merit increases, as well as the initiative to increase FNB's minimum wage to $15 per hour. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was partially offset by the impact of the sale of Regency, which was sold in the third quarter of 2018.

Net occupancy and equipment expense of $28.8 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $1.0 million, or 3.6%, from $27.8 million from the same period of 2018, primarily due to increased equipment depreciation expense due to accelerated expense relating to the branch consolidations.

Outside services expense of $15.9 million for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $1.3 million, or 7.6%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to decreases in legal and consulting fees of $1.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These fees are primarily lower due to our focus on efficiency and expense control, combined with the sale of Regency which was included in the third quarter of 2018.

FDIC insurance of $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $3.1 million, or 35.3%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to the elimination of the FDIC's large bank surcharge in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Other non-interest expense was $26.6 million and $20.3 million for the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the third quarter of 2019, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.2 million from a renewable energy investment tax credit transaction. The related renewable energy investment tax credits were recognized during the quarter as a benefit to income taxes. This charge was partially offset by decreases in several other items in other non-interest expense, including marketing, supplies and business development expenses, as we continued our focus on efficiency and expense control, combined with the sale of Regency, which was included in the third quarter of 2018.

Income Taxes

The following table presents information regarding income tax expense and certain tax rates:

TABLE 9



	Three Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2019			2018
Income tax expense	$	17,366		$	22,154
Effective tax rate	14.5		%	18.0		%
Statutory federal tax rate	21.0		%	21.0		%

Both periods’ tax rates are lower than the federal statutory tax rates of 21% due to the tax benefits primarily resulting from tax-exempt income on investments and loans, tax credits and income from BOLI. The lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2019 also reflects the impact of a renewable energy investment tax credit relating to a biomass project financing transaction.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

Net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $286.0 million or $0.88 per diluted common share, compared to $266.7 million or $0.82 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The first nine months of 2019 included the impact of branch consolidation costs of $4.5 million. The first nine months of 2018 included the impact of branch consolidation costs of $6.6 million, gain on the sale of Regency of $5.1 million and a $0.9 million discretionary 401(k) contribution made following tax reform. Operating earnings per diluted common share (non-GAAP) was $0.89 for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $0.82 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 was 17.8%, compared to 19.0% in the first nine months of 2018.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased $8.6 million, or 1.2%, from $710.1 million for the first nine months of 2018 to $701.4 million for the first nine months of 2019. Average interest-earning assets of $29.2 billion increased $1.5 billion, or 5.2%, and average interest-bearing liabilities of $22.5 billion increased $1.1 billion, or 5.0%, from the first nine months of 2018 due to growth in loans and deposits. Our net interest margin FTE (non-GAAP) contracted 21 basis points to 3.21% for the first nine months of 2019, compared to 3.42% for the same period of 2018, primarily reflecting the sale of Regency in the third quarter of 2018 and a lower level of cash recoveries on acquired loans. Regency contributed 10 basis points to the net interest margin in the first nine months of 2018. The decline also reflected higher funding costs, increased deposit price competition and a $3.0 million decrease in the contribution from incremental purchase accounting benefit. Incremental purchase accounting accretion refers to the difference between total accretion and the estimated coupon interest income on loans acquired in a business combination.

The following table provides certain information regarding changes in net interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

Net change ⁽²⁾	$	29,865		$	(38,486	)	$	(8,621	)


(1)	The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume changes was allocated between the change due to rate and the change due to volume based on the net size of the rate and volume changes.


(2)	Interest income amounts are reflected on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) which adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

Interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) of $951.6 million for the first nine months of 2019, increased $76.9 million or 8.8% from the same period of 2018, due to increased interest-earning assets of $1.5 billion, and higher rates resulting from the increase in benchmark interest rates, partially offset by Regency for the first eight months of 2018 and lower cash recoveries. During the first nine months of 2019, we recognized $24.1 million of incremental purchase accounting accretion and $2.2 million of cash recoveries, compared to $16.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively, in the first nine months of 2018. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily driven by a $1.2 billion, or 5.4%, increase in average loans and leases due to solid origination activity across the footprint. Average total commercial loan growth totaled $728 million, or 5.4%, including 15.7% growth in commercial and industrial loans and commercial leases. Commercial loan growth was led by strong activity in the Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Charlotte and Mid-Atlantic (Greater Baltimore-Washington D.C. markets) regions and continued growth in the equipment finance and asset-based lending businesses. Average consumer loan growth was $435 million, or 5.4%, as growth in residential mortgage loans of $390 million, or 13.8%, and indirect auto loans of $310 million, or 18.8%,

was partially offset by declines in direct installment loans and consumer lines of credit and the sale of Regency. Additionally, average securities increased $227.9 million or 3.7%, primarily as a result of increases in collateralized mortgage obligations of $519.9 million and states of the U.S. and political subdivisions of $126.5 million, partially offset by a decrease of $440.9 million in mortgage-backed securities. The yield on average interest-earning assets (non-GAAP) increased 14 basis points from the first nine months of 2018 to 4.35% for the first nine months of 2019, reflecting repricing of variable and adjustable loans, higher incremental purchase accounting accretion, lower acquired loan cash recoveries and higher reinvestment rates on securities.

Interest expense of $250.2 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $85.5 million, or 52.0%, from the same period of 2018 due to an increase in rates paid and growth in average interest-bearing liabilities, as interest-bearing deposits and borrowings increased over the same quarter of 2018. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $0.9 billion, or 5.4%, which reflects the benefit of our expanded banking footprint in our southeastern markets and organic growth in transaction deposits. Average long-term borrowings increased $383.8 million, or 59.4%, which reflects increases of $334.9 million in long-term FHLB borrowings and $77.6 million in subordinated debt, partially offset by a decrease of $28.2 million in junior subordinated debt. The funding of both fixed and adjustable longer-term borrowings was opportunistically transacted to take advantage of the lower interest rate environment and add liquidity to support loan growth. During the first quarter of 2019, we issued $120.0 million of 4.950% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due in 2029. We used part of the proceeds from this issuance to redeem higher-rate debt including $44.0 million in junior subordinated debt and $25.0 million in other subordinated debt. The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 46 basis points to 1.48% for the first nine months of 2019, due to the FOMC interest rate increases, competitive deposit pricing and changes in the funding mix.

Provision for Credit Losses

The following table presents information regarding the provision for credit losses and net charge-offs:

TABLE 14



	Nine Months Ended September 30,						$			%

Total provision for credit losses	$	37,017		$	46,024		$	(9,007	)	(19.6	)%
Net loan charge-offs:

Net loan charge-offs (annualized) / total average loans and leases	0.14		%	0.27		%
Net originated loan charge-offs (annualized) / total average originated loans and leases	0.11		%	0.33		%

The provision for credit losses of $37.0 million during the first nine months of 2019 decreased $9.0 million from the same period of 2018, while supporting strong loan growth and exceeding net charge-offs of $23.0 million, or 0.14% annualized of total average loans. The provision for the originated portfolio decreased $12.7 million, and the provision for loans acquired in a business combination increased $3.7 million during the first nine months of 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to a single commercial credit. Net loan charge-offs of $23.0 million for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $20.5 million, or 47.1%, from the year-ago period, primarily due to continued favorable asset quality trends and the sale of Regency. For additional information relating to the allowance and provision for credit losses, refer to the Allowance for Credit Losses section of this MD&A.

Non-Interest Income

The breakdown of non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is presented in the following table:

TABLE 15



	Nine Months Ended September 30,				$			%

Total non-interest income	$	220,225	$	207,226	$	12,999		6.3	%

Total non-interest income increased $13.0 million, to $220.2 million for the first nine months of 2019, a 6.3% increase from the same period of 2018. On an operating basis, non-interest income increased $16.2 million, or 7.9%. The variances in significant individual non-interest income items are further explained in the following paragraphs.

Service charges on loans and deposits of $95.4 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $2.3 million, or 2.5%, from $93.1 million from the same period in 2018. The increase was due to the expanded customer base in our southeastern markets, combined with organic growth in loans and deposit accounts.

Trust services of $20.7 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $1.4 million, or 7.4%, from the same period of 2018, primarily driven by strong organic revenue production. The market value of assets under management increased $436.4 million, or 8.2%, to $5.7 billion at September 30, 2019, reflecting continued strong organic growth in accounts and services in our footprint.

Insurance commissions and fees of $15.4 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $0.7 million, or 5.1%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to the benefit of new business in the Mid-Atlantic and Carolina regions of our footprint, as well as organic growth in commercial lines.

Capital markets income of $24.6 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $8.4 million, or 52.3%, from $16.2 million for the same period of 2018. The significant increase was primarily due to strong derivatives sales activity to commercial customers across our footprint, several new syndication transactions in our Washington D.C. and southeastern markets and continued contributions from our international banking business.

Mortgage banking operations income of $21.3 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $3.8 million, or 22.0% from the same period of 2018, as higher sold volumes was partially offset by higher MSRs impairment. During the first nine months of 2019, we sold $1.2 billion of residential mortgage loans, a 35.3% increase compared to $0.9 billion for the same period of 2018. We were able to increase income by improving the mix of retail loans sold versus correspondent loans, as retail loans have a greater gain on sale margin than correspondent loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $2.9 million in interest-rate related valuation adjustments on MSRs, compared to zero in the 2018 period.

Dividends on non-marketable equity securities of $13.7 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $2.1 million, or 17.6%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in the FHLB dividend rate.

Bank owned life insurance of $8.7 million for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $2.1 million, or 19.5%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to a large death claim payout during the third quarter of 2018, which resulted in additional income of $1.4 million.

Other non-interest income was $7.2 million and $10.7 million for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. We recorded losses on fixed assets related to branch consolidations of $1.7 million and $3.7 million during the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Additionally, we recognized $2.4 million more in gains on the sale of OREO for the first nine months of 2019, compared to the same period of 2018. The first nine months of 2018 also included a $5.1 million gain on the sale of Regency.

Non-Interest Expense

The breakdown of non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is presented in the following table:

TABLE 17



	Nine Months Ended September 30,				$			%
(dollars in thousands)	2019		2018		Change			Change
Salaries and employee benefits	$	279,171	$	277,532	$	1,639		0.6	%

Total non-interest expense	$	518,763	$	524,825	$	(6,062	)	(1.2	)%

Total non-interest expense of $518.8 million for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $6.1 million, a 1.2% decrease from the same period of 2018. On an operating basis, non-interest expense decreased $5.0 million, or 1.0%, attributable primarily to the elimination of the FDIC's large bank surcharge in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the sale of Regency in the third quarter of 2018. The variances in the individual non-interest expense items are further explained in the following paragraphs.

Salaries and employee benefits of $279.2 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $1.6 million or 0.6% from the same period of 2018, primarily related to higher production-related commissions and normal merit increases, as well as the initiative to increase FNB's minimum wage to $15 per hour. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was partially offset by the impact of the sale of Regency, which was included in the first nine months of 2018.

Net occupancy and equipment expense of $89.8 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $2.6 million, or 3.0%, from $87.2 million from the same period of 2018, primarily due to $2.2 million of branch consolidation costs.

Amortization of intangibles expense of $10.6 million for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $1.3 million, or 10.8%, from the first nine months of 2018, due to the completion of amortization for a core deposit intangible from a prior acquisition.

Outside services expense of $46.7 million for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $2.2 million, or 4.5%, from the first nine months of 2018, primarily due to decreases of $2.3 million and $1.1 million in legal and consulting fees, respectively. These fees are primarily lower due to our focus on efficiency and expense control, combined with the sale of Regency, which was included in the first nine months of 2018.

FDIC insurance of $17.7 million for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $9.1 million, or 34.1%, from the same period of 2018, primarily due to the elimination of the FDIC's large bank surcharge in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Other non-interest expense was $64.7 million and $62.6 million for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The first nine months of 2019 included an impairment charge of $3.2 million from a renewable energy investment tax credit transaction. The related renewable energy investment tax credits were recognized as a benefit to income taxes.

The following table presents non-interest expense excluding significant items for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Income Taxes

The following table presents information regarding income tax expense and certain tax rates:

TABLE 19



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2019			2018
Income tax expense	$	63,191		$	63,893
Effective tax rate	17.8		%	19.0		%
Statutory federal tax rate	21.0		%	21.0		%

Both periods’ tax rates are lower than the federal statutory tax rates of 21% due to tax benefits primarily resulting from tax-exempt income on investments and loans, tax credits and income from BOLI. The effective tax rate in 2019 was also impacted from non-vesting stock compensation awards in the second quarter of 2019 and a renewable energy investment tax credit relating to a biomass project financing transaction that closed in the third quarter of 2019.

Lending Activity

The loan and lease portfolio consists principally of loans and leases to individuals and small- and medium-sized businesses within our primary markets in seven states and the District of Columbia. Our market coverage spans several major metropolitan areas including: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; Cleveland, Ohio; and Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and the Piedmont Triad (Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point) in North Carolina.

Non-performing assets decreased $15.5 million, from $134.7 million at December 31, 2018 to $119.3 million at September 30, 2019. This reflects decreases of $3.1 million in non-accrual loans, $10.9 million in OREO and $1.5 million in TDRs. The decrease in OREO was largely driven by the sale of a $6.7 million commercial property during the quarter.

Following is a summary of performing, non-performing and non-accrual TDRs, by class:

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses of $193.6 million at September 30, 2019 increased $14.0 million, or 7.8%, from December 31, 2018, primarily in support of growth in originated loans and leases. The provision for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $37.0 million, which covered net charge-offs and supported organic loan growth. Net charge-offs were $23.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $43.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, with the decrease primarily due to lower commercial charge-offs and the sale of Regency, which accounted for $13.2 million of the decrease. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans for the total portfolio increased from 180% as of December 31, 2018 to 204% as of September 30, 2019, as provision exceeded charge-offs in support of loan growth, while the level of non-performing loans decreased slightly.

Following is a summary of supplemental statistical ratios pertaining to our originated loans and leases portfolio. The originated loans and leases portfolio excludes loans acquired at fair value and accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Also see Note 4, Loans and Leases, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Deposits

As a bank holding company, our primary source of funds is deposits. These deposits are provided by businesses, municipalities and individuals located within the markets served by our Community Banking subsidiary.

Following is a summary of deposits:

TABLE 25



(in millions)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018		$ Change			% Change
Non-interest-bearing demand	$	6,292	$	6,000	$	292		4.9	%
Interest-bearing demand	10,654		9,660		994			10.3
Savings	2,526		2,526		—			—
Certificates and other time deposits	5,122		5,269		(147		)	(2.8	)
Total deposits	$	24,594	$	23,455	$	1,139		4.9	%

Total deposits increased from December 31, 2018, primarily as a result of growth in non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing demand balances that were partially offset by a decline in certificates and other time deposits. Generating growth in relationship-based transaction deposits remains a key focus for us and will help us manage to lower levels of short-term borrowings.

Capital Resources and Regulatory Matters

The access to, and cost of, funding for new business initiatives, the ability to engage in expanded business activities, the ability to pay dividends and the level and nature of regulatory oversight depend, in part, on our capital position.

The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as expected organic growth in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions, regulatory changes or actions, and economic forces. We seek to maintain a strong capital base to support our growth and expansion activities, to provide stability to current operations and to promote public confidence.

We have an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC. Pursuant to this registration statement, we may, from time to time, issue and sell in one or more offerings any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts or units. On February 14, 2019, we completed our offering of $120.0 million 4.950% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due in 2029 under this registration statement. The subordinated notes are treated as tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. The net proceeds of the debt offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses were $118.2 million. We intend to use and have used the net proceeds from the sale of the subordinated notes to redeem higher-rate long-term borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

Capital management is a continuous process, with capital plans and stress testing for FNB and FNBPA updated at least annually. These capital plans include assessing the adequacy of expected capital levels assuming various scenarios by projecting capital needs for a forecast period of 2-3 years beyond the current year. From time to time, we issue shares initially acquired by us as treasury stock under our various benefit plans. We may issue additional preferred or common stock in order to maintain our well-capitalized status.

FNB and FNBPA are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies (see discussion under “Enhanced Regulatory Capital Standards”). Quantitative measures established by regulators to ensure capital adequacy require FNB and FNBPA to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, tier 1 and common equity tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and minimum leverage ratio (as defined). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could lead to initiation of certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions, by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, dividends and future business and corporate strategies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, FNB 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. FNB’s and FNBPA’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

As of September 30, 2019, the most recent notification from the federal banking agencies categorized FNB 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. Our management believes that, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, FNB and FNBPA met all “well-capitalized” requirements to which each of them was subject.

Following are the capital amounts and related ratios for FNB and FNBPA:

In accordance with Basel III, the implementation of capital requirements is transitional and was phased-in from January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2019. The minimum capital requirements plus capital conservation buffer, which are presented for each period above based on the phase-in schedule, represent the minimum requirements needed to avoid limitations on distributions of dividends and certain discretionary bonus payments.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act)

The Dodd-Frank Act broadly affects the financial services industry by establishing a framework for systemic risk oversight, creating a resolution authority for institutions determined to be systemically important, mandating higher capital and liquidity requirements, requiring banks to pay increased fees to regulatory agencies and containing numerous other provisions aimed at strengthening the sound operation of the financial services sector that significantly change the system of regulatory oversight as described in more detail under Part I, Item 1, “Business - Government Supervision and Regulation” included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019. Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to further rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact to us or across the financial services industry.

LIQUIDITY

Our goal in liquidity management is to satisfy the cash flow requirements of customers and the operating cash needs of FNB with cost-effective funding. Our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Policy to guide management in achieving and maintaining 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. Our Board of Directors has also established Liquidity and Contingency Funding Policies to guide management in addressing the ability to identify measure, monitor and control both normal and stressed liquidity conditions. These policies designate our Asset/Liability Committee as the body responsible for meeting these objectives. The ALCO, which is comprised of members of executive management, reviews liquidity on a continuous basis and approves significant changes in strategies that affect Balance Sheet or cash flow positions. Liquidity is centrally managed daily by our 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 banking offices of FNBPA in the form of deposits and customer repurchase agreements. FNB also has access to reliable and cost-effective wholesale sources of liquidity. Short- and long-term funds are used to help fund normal business operations, and unused credit availability can be utilized to serve as contingency funding if we 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. In addition, through one of our subsidiaries, we regularly issue subordinated notes, which are guaranteed by FNB. Management has utilized various strategies to ensure sufficient cash on hand is available to meet the parent's funding needs. During the first quarter of 2019, we completed a debt offering in which we issued $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.950% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due in 2029, which is treated as tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. Sixty-nine million of the net proceeds of the debt offering was used to redeem, retire or call existing debt and TPS as noted below. We repurchased and retired $9.5 million and redeemed $15.5 million in higher interest rate subordinated debt assumed in the 2017 YDKN acquisition. We redeemed $10.0 million of TPS issued by American Community Capital Trust I also assumed in the 2017 YDKN acquisition. Additionally, we exercised the call options on $26.0 million of Omega Financial Capital Trust I and $8.0 million of Crescent Financial Capital Trust I with April settlements. Lastly, from the net debt issuance proceeds, we completed a capital infusion of $40.0 million to FNBPA in March. These transactions accomplished strategic objectives and were the primary factors resulting in an increase in our liquidity metrics as shown below.

Management believes our cash levels are appropriate given the current environment. Two metrics that are used to gauge the adequacy of the parent company’s cash position are the LCR and MCH. The LCR is defined as the sum of cash on hand plus projected cash inflows over the next 12 months divided by projected cash outflows over the next 12 months. The MCH is defined as the number of months of corporate expenses and dividends that can be covered by the cash on hand.

The LCR and MCH ratios are presented in the following table:

TABLE 27



	September 30, 2019	December 31, 2018	Internal limit
Liquidity coverage ratio	2.2 times	2.1 times	> 1 time
Months of cash on hand	15.1 months	14.4 months	> 12 months

Our liquidity position has been positively impacted by our ability to generate growth in relationship-based accounts. Organic growth in low-cost transaction deposits was complemented by management’s strategy of heightened deposit gathering efforts focused on attracting new customer relationships and deepening relationships with existing customers, in part through internal lead generation efforts leveraging data analytics capabilities. Total deposits were $24.6 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 6.5% annualized, from December 31, 2018. Total non-interest-bearing demand deposit accounts grew by $291.6 million, or 6.5% annualized, and interest-bearing demand increased by $993.9 million, or 13.8% annualized. Savings account balances increased $0.2 million. Time deposits declined $147.1 million, or 3.7% annualized.

FNBPA has significant unused wholesale credit availability sources that include the availability to borrow from the FHLB, the FRB, correspondent bank lines, access to brokered deposits and multiple other channels. In addition to credit availability, FNBPA also possesses salable unpledged government and agency securities that could be utilized to meet funding needs. The ALCO Policy minimum guideline level for salable unpledged government and agency securities is 3.0%.

The following table presents certain information relating to FNBPA’s credit availability and salable unpledged securities:

TABLE 28



(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Unused wholesale credit availability	$	11,448		$	9,659
Unused wholesale credit availability as a % of FNBPA assets	33.4		%	29.2		%
Salable unpledged government and agency securities	$	1,673		$	2,424
Salable unpledged government and agency securities as a % of FNBPA assets	4.9		%	7.3		%

Another metric for measuring liquidity risk is the liquidity gap analysis. The following liquidity gap analysis as of September 30, 2019 compares the difference between our cash flows from existing earning assets and interest-bearing 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 reasonably matched position lays a better foundation for dealing with additional funding needs during a potential liquidity crisis. The twelve-month cumulative gap to total assets ratio improved to (0.5)% as of September 30, 2019 from (7.1)% as of December 31, 2018. Management calculates this ratio at least quarterly and it is reviewed monthly by ALCO.

In addition, the ALCO regularly monitors various liquidity ratios and stress scenarios of our liquidity position. The stress scenarios forecast that adequate funding will be available even under severe conditions. Management believes we have sufficient liquidity available to meet our normal operating and contingency funding cash needs.

MARKET RISK

Market risk refers to potential losses arising predominately from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices. We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk inherent in our lending and deposit-taking activities as a financial intermediary. To succeed in this capacity, we offer an extensive variety of financial products to meet the diverse needs of our customers. These products sometimes contribute to interest rate risk for us when product groups do not complement one another. For example, depositors may want short-term deposits, while borrowers may desire long-term loans.

Changes in market interest rates may result in changes in the fair value of our financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income. Subject to its ongoing oversight, the Board of Directors has given ALCO the responsibility 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. We use 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, which may be with or without penalty, when rates fall, while certain depositors can redeem their certificates of deposit early, which may be with or without penalty, when rates rise.

We use an asset/liability model to measure our interest rate risk. Interest rate risk measures we utilize include earnings simulation, 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, our 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 us with a comprehensive view of our interest rate risk profile, which provides the basis for balance sheet management strategies.

The following repricing gap analysis as of September 30, 2019 compares the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing over a period of time. Management utilizes the repricing gap analysis as a diagnostic tool in managing net interest income and EVE risk measures.

The twelve-month cumulative repricing gap to total assets was 6.3% and 3.2% as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The positive cumulative gap positions indicate that we have a greater amount of repricing earning assets than repricing interest-bearing liabilities over the subsequent twelve months. If interest rates increase as modeled, net interest income will increase and, conversely, if interest rates decrease as modeled, net interest income will decrease. The change in the cumulative repricing gap at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018, is primarily related to growth and changes in the mix of loans, deposits and borrowings as follows. Strong commercial and industrial loan growth, a portion of which was swapped to adjustable rates, the sale of long-term fixed rate mortgage loans, and the increased cash flow from the loan and investment portfolios, were partially offset by growth in and repricing of certain interest-bearing non-maturity deposit balances and the funding of long-term FHLB advances. The funding of both fixed and adjustable longer-term borrowings was opportunistically transacted to take advantage of the lower interest rate environment and add liquidity to support loan growth.

The allocation of non-maturity deposits and customer repurchase agreements to the one-month maturity category above 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.

Utilizing net interest income simulations, the following net interest income metrics were calculated using rate shocks which move market rates in an immediate and parallel fashion. The variance percentages represent the change between the net interest income and EVE calculated under the particular rate scenario versus the net interest income and EVE that was calculated assuming market rates as of September 30, 2019. Using a static Balance Sheet structure, the measures do not reflect all of management's potential counteractions.

The following table presents an analysis of the potential sensitivity of our net interest income and EVE to changes in interest rates using rate shocks:

TABLE 31



	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018		ALCO Limits
Net interest income change (12 months):
+ 300 basis points	7.3	%	3.5	%	n/a
+ 200 basis points	5.2		2.5		(5.0	)%
+ 100 basis points	2.8		1.4		(5.0	)
- 100 basis points	(4.2	)	(3.1	)	(5.0	)
Economic value of equity:
+ 300 basis points	(1.1	)	(8.0	)	(25.0	)
+ 200 basis points	(0.2	)	(5.2	)	(15.0	)
+ 100 basis points	0.7		(2.0	)	(10.0	)
- 100 basis points	(4.1	)	(1.0	)	(10.0	)

We also model rate scenarios which move all rates gradually over twelve months (Rate Ramps) and model scenarios that gradually change the shape of the yield curve. Assuming a static Balance Sheet, a +100 basis point Rate Ramp increases net interest income (12 months) by 1.7% at September 30, 2019 and 1.0% at December 31, 2018. The corresponding metrics for a -100 basis point Rate Ramp are (2.2)% and (1.6)% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Our strategy is generally to manage to a neutral interest rate risk position. Consistent with prior quarters, we desired to remain slightly asset-sensitive during the first nine months of 2019.

There are multiple factors that influence our interest rate risk position and impact Net Interest Income. These include external factors such as the shape of the yield curve and expectations regarding future interest rates, as well as internal factors regarding product offerings, product mix and pricing of loans and deposits. At year-end 2018, the market consensus was expecting the FOMC to increase interest rates due to a strengthening economy. However, citing a softening economy, the FOMC actually moved to lower rates twice during the third quarter of 2019.

Management utilizes various tactics to achieve our desired interest rate risk (IRR) position. In response to the change in interest rates, management was proactive in addressing our IRR position. As mentioned earlier, we were successful in growing our transaction deposits which provides funding that is less interest rate-sensitive than short-term time deposits and wholesale borrowings. Also, we were able to lower rates on certain deposit products and shorten the term of the certificates of deposit volumes. This will continue to be an intense focus of management. Further, during the quarter, management took advantage of the shape of the yield curve to term out borrowings at rates below our overnight borrowing rate. On the lending side, we regularly sell long-term fixed-rate residential mortgages to the secondary market and have been successful in the origination of consumer and commercial loans with short-term repricing characteristics. In particular, we have made use of interest rate swaps to commercial borrowers (commercial swaps) to manage our IRR position as the commercial swaps effectively increase adjustable-rate loans. Total variable and adjustable-rate loans were 58.8% and 57.4% of total loans as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, with 79.0% of these loans, or 46.5% of total loans, tied to the Prime or one-month LIBOR rates. As of September 30, 2019, the commercial swaps totaled $3.4 billion of notional principal, with $903.1 million in notional swap principal originated during the first nine months of 2019. For additional information regarding interest rate swaps, see Note 9 in this Report. The investment portfolio is also used, in part, to manage our IRR position. These purchases are fixed rate in nature in which we seek to minimize prepayment risk.

We recognize 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 repricing impact on non-maturity deposits, which may differ from actual experience. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans, economic and market trends and available industry data. While management believes that its methodology for developing such assumptions is 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 date and do not reflect the planned growth or management actions that could be taken.

RISK MANAGEMENT

As a financial institution, we take on a certain amount of risk in every business decision, transaction and activity. Our Board of Directors and senior management have identified seven major categories of risk: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, reputational risk, operational risk, legal and compliance risk and strategic risk. In its oversight role of our risk management function, the Board of Directors focuses on the strategies, analyses and conclusions of management relating to identifying, understanding and managing risks so as to optimize total stockholder value, while balancing prudent business and safety and soundness considerations.

The Board of Directors adopted a risk appetite statement that defines acceptable risk levels and limits under which we seek to operate in order to optimize returns. As such, the board monitors a series of KRIs, or Key Risk Indicators, for various business lines, operational units, and risk categories, providing insight into how our performance aligns with our stated risk appetite. These results are reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors and senior management to ensure adherence to our risk appetite statement, and where appropriate, adjustments are made to applicable business strategies and tactics where risks are approaching stated tolerances or for emerging risks.

We support our risk management process through a governance structure involving our Board of Directors and senior management. The joint Risk Committee of our Board of Directors and the FNBPA Board of Directors helps ensure that business decisions are executed within appropriate risk tolerances. The Risk Committee has oversight responsibilities with respect to the following:


•	identification, measurement, assessment and monitoring of enterprise-wide risk;


•	development of appropriate and meaningful risk metrics to use in connection with the oversight of our businesses and strategies;


•	review and assessment of our policies and practices to manage our credit, market, liquidity, legal, regulatory and operating risk (including technology, operational, compliance and fiduciary risks); and


•	identification and implementation of risk management best practices.

The Risk Committee serves as the primary point of contact between our Board of Directors and the Risk Management Council, which is the senior management level committee responsible for risk management. Risk appetite is an integral element of our business and capital planning processes through our Board Risk Committee and Risk Management Council. We use our risk appetite processes to promote appropriate alignment of risk, capital and performance tactics, while also considering risk capacity and appetite constraints from both financial and non-financial risks. Our top-down risk appetite process serves as a limit for undue risk-taking for bottom-up planning from our various business functions. Our Board Risk Committee, in collaboration with our Risk Management Council, approves our risk appetite on an annual basis, or more frequently, as needed to reflect changes in the risk, regulatory, economic and strategic plan environments, with the goal of ensuring that our risk appetite remains consistent with our strategic plans and business operations, regulatory environment and our shareholders' expectations. Reports relating to our risk appetite and strategic plans, and our ongoing monitoring thereof, are regularly presented to our various management level risk oversight and planning committees and periodically reported up through our Board Risk Committee.

As noted above, we have a Risk Management Council comprised of senior management. The purpose of this committee is to provide regular oversight of specific areas of risk with respect to the level of risk and risk management structure. Management has also established an Operational Risk Committee that is responsible for identifying, evaluating and monitoring operational risks across FNB, evaluating and approving appropriate remediation efforts to address identified operational risks and providing periodic reports concerning operational risks to the Risk Management Council. The Risk Management Council reports on a regular basis to the Risk Committee of our Board of Directors regarding our enterprise-wide risk profile and other significant risk management issues. Our Chief Risk Officer is responsible for the design and implementation of our enterprise-wide risk management strategy and framework through the multiple second line of defense areas, including the following departments: Enterprise-Wide Risk Management, Fraud Risk, Loan Review, Model Risk Management, Third-Party Risk Management, Anti-Money Laundering and Bank Secrecy Act, Community Reinvestment Act, Appraisal Review, Compliance and Information and Cyber Security. All second line of defense departments report to the Chief Risk Officer to ensure the coordinated and consistent implementation of risk management initiatives and strategies on a day-to-day basis. Our Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Department conducts risk and control assessments across all of our business and operational areas to ensure the appropriate risk identification, risk management and reporting of risks enterprise-wide. The Fraud Risk Department monitors for internal and external fraud risk across all of our business and operational units. The Loan Review Department conducts independent testing of our loan risk ratings to ensure their accuracy, which is instrumental to calculating our

allowance for credit losses. Our Model Risk Management Department oversees validation and testing of all models used in managing risk across our company. Our Third-Party Risk Management Department ensures effective risk management and oversight of third-party relationships throughout the vendor life cycle. The Anti-Money Laundering and Bank Secrecy Act Department monitors for compliance with money laundering risk and associated regulatory compliance requirements. Our Community Reinvestment Department monitors for compliance with the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act. The Appraisal Review Department facilitates independent ordering and review of real estate appraisals obtained for determining the value of real estate pledged as collateral for loans to customers. Our Compliance Department is responsible for developing policies and procedures and monitoring compliance with applicable laws and regulations which govern our business operations. Our Information and Cyber Security Department is responsible for maintaining a risk assessment of our information and cyber security risks and ensuring appropriate controls are in place to manage and control such risks, through the use of the National Institute of Standards and Technology framework for improving critical infrastructure by measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of information and cyber security controls. Further, our audit function performs an independent assessment of our internal controls environment and plays an integral role in testing the operation of the internal controls systems and reporting findings to management and our Audit Committee. Each of the Risk, Audit and Credit Risk and CRA Committees of our Board of Directors regularly report on risk-related matters to the full Board of Directors. In addition, both the Risk Committee of our Board of Directors and our Risk Management Council regularly assess our enterprise-wide risk profile and provide guidance on actions needed to address key and emerging risk issues.

The Board of Directors believes that our enterprise-wide risk management process is effective and enables the Board of Directors to:


•	assess the quality of the information we receive;


•	understand the businesses, investments and financial, accounting, legal, regulatory and strategic considerations and the risks that we face;


•	oversee and assess how senior management evaluates risk; and


•	assess appropriately the quality of our enterprise-wide risk management process.

The table above shows how operating net income available to common stockholders (non-GAAP) is derived from amounts reported in our financial statements. We believe certain charges, such as branch consolidation costs, are not organic costs to run our operations and facilities. The branch consolidation charges principally represent expenses to satisfy contractual obligations of the closed branches without any useful ongoing benefit to us. These costs are specific to each individual transaction, and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information called for by this item is provided in the Market Risk section of "MD&A," which is included in Item 2 of this Report, and is incorporated herein by reference. There are no material changes in the information provided under Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019.


ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. FNB’s management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date at the reasonable assurance level as discussed below to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS. FNB’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within FNB have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. In addition, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. The CEO and the CFO have evaluated the changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019, as required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a–15 and 15d–15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and have concluded that there were no such changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
