NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation — The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of WesBanco, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“WesBanco”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

WesBanco’s interim financial statements have been prepared following the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of its 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial information reflects all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly WesBanco’s financial position and results of operations for each of the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for a full year.

Recent accounting pronouncements — In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting.” These amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis to an award modified on or after the adoption date. WesBanco is assessing the impact of ASU 2017-09 and does not expect it to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08 that shortens the amortization period of certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The premium is required to be amortized to the earliest call date. Securities held at a discount continue to be amortized to maturity. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which for WesBanco will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 that changes how employer-sponsored defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. Employers will present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line items that includes the service cost outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. These components will not be eligible for capitalization in assets. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period (i.e., only in the first interim period). For WesBanco, this update will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, WesBanco will reclassify the service cost component from employee benefits to salaries and wages, which are both components of non-interest expense. The service cost component for the three and six months ending June 30, 2017 was $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 that eliminated the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. Public business entities that are a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filer should adopt this update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, which for WesBanco will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for WesBanco will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. WesBanco is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2017-01 but it is not expected that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 that provides the recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Current guidance prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. This prohibition on recognition is an exception to the principle of comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes in generally accepted accounting principles. The exception has led to diversity in practice and is a source of complexity in financial reporting. FASB decided that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in this update eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The amendments in this update do not include new disclosure requirements; however, existing disclosure requirements might be applicable when accounting for the current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, which for WesBanco will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The amendments in this update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 that provides guidance for the classification of cash flows related to (1) debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate on the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which for WesBanco will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 that will require entities to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model on trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. Entities will have to disclose significantly more information, including information they use to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which for WesBanco will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. WesBanco is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 that will require all excess income tax benefits or tax deficiencies of stock awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07 that eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method in previous periods when an investor initially obtains significant influence over an investee. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and requires prospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 that will require entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases were not previously recognized in the balance sheet. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. WesBanco is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 that will require entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicability exception. The standard does not change the guidance for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans. Entities will have to record changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured under the fair value option in other comprehensive income. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The new revenue pronouncement creates a single source of revenue guidance for all companies in all industries and is more principles-based than current revenue guidance. The pronouncement provides a five-step model for a company to recognize revenue when it transfers control of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The five steps are, (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the update. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is now permitted as of the original effective date for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, which amends the principle versus agent guidance in the revenue standard. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which clarifies when promised goods or services are separately identifiable in the revenue standard. In May 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-12, which provides narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients to the revenue standard. While WesBanco is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on individual customer contracts, management has evaluated the impact of this standard on the broad categories of its customer contracts and revenue streams. WesBanco currently anticipates this standard will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements because revenue related to financial instruments, including loans and investment securities are not in scope of these updates. Loan interest income, investment interest income, insurance services revenue and BOLI are accounted for under other U.S. GAAP standards and are therefore, out of scope of the ASC 606 revenue standard. Trust fees, service charges on deposits, electronic banking fees, net securities brokerage revenue, net gains on sales of mortgage loans, and net gain on other real estate owned and other assets are in scope of the ASC 606 revenue standard. The Company is currently reviewing contracts related to these revenue streams. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to revenue recognition; however, the Company’s review is still ongoing. The Company plans to adopt the revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-01, which applies to all reporting entities that invest in qualified affordable housing projects through limited liability entities. The pronouncement permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for these investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions exist. The pronouncement also requires disclosure that enables users of its financial statements to understand the nature of these investments in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The pronouncement is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. WesBanco made an accounting policy election to adopt the ASU in the first quarter of 2017. With the adoption of this pronouncement, WesBanco now classifies the amortization of the investment as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amount for the three and six months ending June 30, 2017 was $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which is included in income tax expense within WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

On September 9, 2016, WesBanco completed its acquisition of Your Community Bankshares, Inc. (“YCB”), and its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Your Community Bank (“YCB Bank”), an Indiana state-chartered commercial bank headquartered in New Albany, Indiana. The transaction expanded WesBanco’s franchise into Kentucky and southern Indiana.

On the acquisition date, YCB had approximately $1.5 billion in total assets, excluding goodwill, including approximately $1.0 billion in loans and $173.2 million in securities. The YCB acquisition was valued at $220.5 million, based on WesBanco’s closing stock price on September 9, 2016 of $32.62, and resulted in WesBanco issuing 5,423,348 shares of its common stock and $43.3 million in cash in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of YCB common stock. The assets and liabilities of YCB were recorded on WesBanco’s balance sheet at their preliminary estimated fair value as of September 9, 2016, the acquisition date, and YCB’s results of operations have been included in WesBanco’s Consolidated Statements of Income since that date. Due to the timing of the acquisition relative to the end of the reporting period, the fair values for certain assets and liabilities acquired from YCB on September 9, 2016 represented preliminary estimates. Based on the purchase price allocation, WesBanco recorded $93.0 million in goodwill and $12.0 million in core deposit intangibles in its Community Banking segment, representing the principal change in goodwill and intangibles in 2016. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes, as the acquisition is accounted for as a tax-free exchange for tax purposes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, WesBanco recorded merger-related expenses of $0.5 million and $13.3 million, respectively, associated with the YCB acquisition.

Options to purchase 117,550 shares and 186,350 shares at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were not included in the computation of net income per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. All stock options were included in the computation of net income per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Options to purchase 186,350 shares at June 30, 2016 were not included in the computation of net income per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.

As of June 30, 2017, 24,000 shares of restricted stock were not included in the computation of net income per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 because the effect would be antidilutive. There were no antidilutive shares of restricted stock excluded from the computation of net income for the three or six months ended June 30, 2016.

On September 9, 2016, WesBanco issued 5,423,348 shares of common stock (109,257 of which shares were treasury stock) to complete its acquisition of YCB. These shares are included in average shares outstanding beginning on that date. For additional information relating to the YCB acquisition, refer to Note 2, “Mergers and Acquisitions.”

(1) Mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage securities, which have prepayment provisions, are not assigned to maturity categories due to fluctuations in their prepayment speeds.
(2) Equity securities, which have no stated maturity, are not assigned a maturity category.
(3)  The held-to-maturity portfolio is carried at an amortized cost of $1.0 billion.

Securities with aggregate fair values of $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged as security for public and trust funds, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $7.8 million and $109.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income net of tax, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were $5.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively.

The following table presents the gross realized gains and losses on sales and calls of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Gains and losses due to fair value fluctuations on trading securities are included in non-interest income under other income, with an offsetting entry in compensation expense.

Unrealized losses on debt securities in the tables represent temporary fluctuations resulting from changes in market rates in relation to fixed yields. Unrealized losses in the available-for-sale portfolio are accounted for as an adjustment, net of taxes, to other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

WesBanco does not believe the securities presented above are impaired due to reasons of credit quality, as substantially all debt securities are rated above investment grade and all are paying principal and interest according to their contractual terms. WesBanco does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell, loss position securities prior to recovery of their cost, and therefore, management believes the unrealized losses detailed above are temporary and no impairment loss relating to these securities has been recognized.

Securities that do not have readily determinable fair values and for which WesBanco does not exercise significant influence are carried at cost. Cost method investments consist primarily of FHLB of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Indianapolis stock totaling $49.1 million and $46.4 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cost method investments are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

(1)  Commercial loans greater than $1 million that are reported as non-accrual or as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) are individually evaluated for impairment.

WesBanco maintains an internal loan grading system to reflect the credit quality of commercial loans. Commercial loan risk grades are determined based on an evaluation of the relevant characteristics of each loan, assigned at the inception of each loan and adjusted thereafter at any time to reflect changes in the risk profile throughout the life of each loan. The primary factors used to determine the risk grade are the reliability and sustainability of the primary source of repayment and overall financial strength of the borrower. This includes an analysis of cash flow available to repay debt, profitability, liquidity, leverage, and overall financial trends. Other factors include management, industry or property type risks, an assessment of secondary sources of repayment such as collateral or guarantees, other terms and conditions of the loan that may increase or reduce its risk, and economic conditions and other external factors that may influence repayment capacity and financial condition.

Commercial real estate – land and construction consists of loans to finance investments in vacant land, land development, construction of residential housing, and construction of commercial buildings. Commercial real estate – improved property consists of loans for the purchase or refinance of all types of improved owner-occupied and investment properties. Factors that are considered in assigning the risk grade vary depending on the type of property financed. The risk grade assigned to construction and development loans is based on the overall viability of the project, the experience and financial capacity of the developer or builder to successfully complete the project, project specific and market absorption rates and comparable property values, and the amount of pre-sales for residential housing construction or pre-leases for commercial investment property. The risk grade assigned to commercial investment property loans is based primarily on the adequacy of net rental income generated by the property to service the debt, the type, quality, industry and mix of tenants, and the terms of leases, but also considers the overall financial capacity of the investors and their experience in owning and managing investment property. The risk grade assigned to owner-occupied commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans is based primarily on historical and projected earnings, the adequacy of operating cash flow to service all of the business’ debt, and the capital resources, liquidity and leverage of the business, but also considers the industry in which the business operates, the business’ specific competitive advantages or disadvantages, the quality and experience of management, and external influences on the business such as economic conditions. Other factors that are considered for commercial and industrial loans include the type, quality and marketability of non-real estate collateral and whether the structure of the loan increases or reduces its risk. The type, age, condition, location and any environmental risks associated with a property are also considered for all types of commercial real estate. The overall financial condition and repayment capacity of any guarantors is also evaluated to determine the extent to which they mitigate other risks of the loan. The following paragraphs provide descriptions of risk grades that are applicable to commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans.

Pass loans are those that exhibit a history of positive financial results that are at least comparable to the average for their industry or type of real estate. The primary source of repayment is acceptable and these loans are expected to perform satisfactorily during most economic cycles. Pass loans typically have no significant external factors that are expected to adversely affect these borrowers more than others in the same industry or property type. Any minor unfavorable characteristics of these loans are outweighed or mitigated by other positive factors including but not limited to adequate secondary or tertiary sources of repayment.

Criticized or compromised loans are currently protected but have weaknesses, which, if not corrected, may be inadequately protected at some future date. These loans represent an unwarranted credit risk and would generally not be extended in the normal course of lending. Specific issues which may warrant this grade include declining financial results, increased reliance on secondary sources of repayment or guarantor support and adverse external influences that may negatively impact the business or property.

Table of Contents

Substandard and doubtful loans are equivalent to the classifications used by banking regulators. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current repayment capacity and equity of the borrower or collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize their repayment or collection in full. These loans may or may not be reported as non-accrual. Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent to a substandard loan with the added characteristic that full repayment is highly questionable or improbable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and collateral values. However, recognition of loss may be deferred if there are reasonably specific pending factors that will reduce the risk if they occur.

Residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans are not assigned internal risk grades other than as required by regulatory guidelines that are based primarily on the age of past due loans. WesBanco primarily evaluates the credit quality of residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans based on repayment performance and historical loss rates. The aggregate amount of residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans classified as substandard in accordance with regulatory guidelines were $20.4 million at June 30, 2017 and $20.6 million at December 31, 2016, of which $3.4 million were accruing, for each period. The aggregate amount of residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans classified as substandard are not included in the tables above.

Acquired YCB Loans — The carrying amount of loans acquired from YCB with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $5.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of which $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were accounted for under the cost recovery method in accordance with ASC 310-30, as cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated, and therefore are categorized as non-accrual. At June 30, 2017, the accretable yield was $1.1 million. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, an allowance for loan loss of $0.1 million and $0, respectively, has been recognized related to the YCB acquired impaired loans, as the estimates for future cash flows on these loans have been negatively impacted.

Acquired ESB Loans — The carrying amount of loans acquired from ESB with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $4.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of which $3.5 million and $0, respectively, were accounted for under the cost recovery method in accordance with ASC 310-30, as cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated, and therefore are categorized as non-accrual. At June 30, 2017, the accretable yield was $0.9 million. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 an allowance for loan loss of $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, has been recognized related to the ESB acquired impaired loans, as the estimates for future cash flows on these loans have been negatively impacted.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no TDRs greater than $1.0 million. The concessions granted in the majority of loans reported as accruing and non-accrual TDRs are extensions of the maturity date or the amortization period, reductions in the interest rate below the prevailing market rate for loans with comparable characteristics, and/or permitting interest-only payments for longer than three and six months. WesBanco had no unfunded commitments to debtors whose loans were classified as impaired as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

The Plan covers all employees of WesBanco and its subsidiaries who were hired on or before August 1, 2007 who satisfy minimum age and length of service requirements, and is not available to employees hired after such date.

A minimum required contribution of $2.7 million is due for 2017, which could be all or partially offset by the Plan’s $46.9 million available credit balance. A voluntary contribution of $2.5 million was made in June 2017.

On September 9, 2016, WesBanco assumed YCB’s obligation for a predecessor bank’s participation in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (“Pentegra Plan”). The participating employer plan had been frozen to new participants since 2002. WesBanco spun out the assets from the Pentegra Plan in the second quarter of 2017, and contributed approximately $2.8 million to satisfy the final costs to do so. The spin off had no impact on earnings as the liability was included in YCB’s balance sheet as of the acquisition date. The $8.4 million in distributed assets from the Pentegra Plan were transferred to a new plan providing the same benefits to the participants.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices, if available, quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities, or the present value of expected future cash flows and other valuation techniques. These valuations are significantly affected by discount rates, cash flow assumptions, and risk assumptions used. Therefore, fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not intended to reflect the proceeds that may be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instruments.

Fair value is determined at one point in time and is not representative of future value. These amounts do not reflect the total value of a going concern organization. Management does not have the intention to dispose of a significant portion of its assets and liabilities and therefore, the unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings and cash flows.

The following is a discussion of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and valuation techniques applied:

Investment securities: The fair value of investment securities which are measured on a recurring basis are determined primarily by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other similar securities. These securities are classified within level 1 or 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Certain equity securities that are lightly traded in over-the-counter markets are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as quoted market prices may not be available on the fair value measurement date. Positions that are not traded in active markets for which valuations are generated using assumptions not observable in the market or management’s best estimate are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. This includes certain specific municipal debt issues for which the credit quality and discount rate must be estimated.

Derivatives: WesBanco enters into interest rate swap agreements with qualifying commercial customers to meet their financing, interest rate and other risk management needs. These agreements provide the customer the ability to convert from variable to fixed interest rates. 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. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that WesBanco executes with derivative counterparties in order to offset its exposure on the fixed components of the customer interest rate swap agreements. 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 sheet with any resulting gain or loss recorded in current period earnings as other income and other expense.

WesBanco determines the fair value for derivatives using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. WesBanco incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements.

Table of Contents

We may be required from time to time to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets and liabilities.

Impaired loans: Impaired loans are carried at the lower of cost or the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The use of independent appraisals, discounted cash flow models and management’s best judgment are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value measure of the underlying collateral and impaired loans are therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets: Other real estate owned and repossessed assets are carried at the lower of the investment in the assets or the fair value of the assets less estimated selling costs. The use of independent appraisals and management’s best judgment are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value measure of the underlying collateral, and therefore other real estate owned and repossessed assets are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or fair value. The use of a valuation model using quoted prices of similar instruments are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value and therefore loans held for sale are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following methods and assumptions were used to measure the fair value of financial instruments recorded at cost on WesBanco’s consolidated balance sheets:

Cash and due from banks: The carrying amount for cash and due from banks is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities held-to-maturity: Fair values for securities held-to-maturity are determined in the same manner as the investment securities, which are described above.

 

26


Table of Contents

Net loans: Fair values for loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans with similar terms, the credit risk associated with the loan and other market factors, including liquidity. WesBanco believes the discount rates are consistent with transactions occurring in the marketplace for both performing and distressed loan types. The carrying value is net of the allowance for loan losses and other associated premiums and discounts. Due to the significant judgment involved in evaluating credit quality, loans are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposits: The carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value for demand, savings and other variable rate deposit accounts. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by a discounted cash flow method using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings: The fair value of FHLB borrowings is based on rates currently available to WesBanco for borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Other borrowings: The carrying amount of federal funds purchased and overnight sweep accounts generally approximate fair value. Other repurchase agreements are based on quoted market prices if available. If market prices are not available, for certain fixed and adjustable rate repurchase agreements, then quoted market prices of similar instruments are used.

Subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt: The fair value of subordinated debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Due to the pooled nature of junior subordinated debt owed to unconsolidated subsidiary trusts, which are not actively traded, estimated fair value is based on recent similar transactions of single-issuer trust preferred securities.

Accrued interest payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments: Off-balance sheet financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit, including letters of credit. Fair values for commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit standing of the counterparties. The estimated fair value of the commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are insignificant and therefore are not presented in the above tables.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Commitments — In the normal course of business, WesBanco offers off-balance sheet credit arrangements to enable its customers to meet their financing objectives. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. WesBanco’s exposure to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the other parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is limited to the contractual amount of those instruments. WesBanco uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for all other lending. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The allowance for credit losses associated with commitments was $0.6 million as of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including normal business activities, bond financing and similar transactions. Letters of credit are considered guarantees. The liability associated with letters of credit was $0.2 million as of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Contingent obligations to purchase loans funded by other entities include affordable housing plan guarantees, credit card guarantees and mortgages sold into the secondary market with recourse. Affordable housing plan guarantees are performance guarantees for various building project loans. The guarantee amortizes as the loan balances decrease. Credit card guarantees are credit card balances not owned by WesBanco, whereby the Bank guarantees the performance of the cardholder.

While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management does not believe that a material loss related to such proceedings or claims pending or known to be threatened is reasonably possible.

NOTE 10. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

WesBanco operates two reportable segments: community banking and trust and investment services. WesBanco’s community banking segment offers services traditionally offered by full-service commercial banks, including commercial demand, individual demand and time deposit accounts, as well as commercial, mortgage and individual installment loans, and certain non-traditional offerings, such as insurance and securities brokerage services. The trust and investment services segment offers trust services as well as various alternative investment products including mutual funds. The market value of assets managed or held in custody by the trust and investment services segment was approximately $3.8 billion and $3.7 billion at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These assets are held by WesBanco in fiduciary or agency capacities for their customers and therefore are not included as assets on WesBanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

OVERVIEW

WesBanco is a multi-state bank holding company operating through 173 branches and 161 ATM machines in West Virginia, Ohio, western Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and southern Indiana, offering retail banking, corporate banking, personal and corporate trust services, brokerage services, mortgage banking and insurance. WesBanco’s businesses are significantly impacted by economic factors such as market interest rates, federal monetary and regulatory policies, local and regional economic conditions and the competitive environment’s effect upon WesBanco’s business volumes. WesBanco’s deposit levels are affected by numerous factors including personal savings rates, personal income, and competitive rates on alternative investments, as well as competition from other financial institutions within the markets we serve and liquidity needs of WesBanco. Loan levels are also subject to various factors including construction demand, business financing needs, consumer spending and interest rates, as well as loan terms offered by competing lenders.

On September 9, 2016, WesBanco completed the acquisition of YCB, a bank holding company headquartered in New Albany, Indiana with approximately $1.5 billion in assets, excluding goodwill, with $1.2 billion in total deposits and $1.0 billion in total loans, and 34 branches in Kentucky and southern Indiana. WesBanco now has approximately $9.9 billion in total assets, $7.1 billion in total deposits, and $6.4 billion in total loans, operating in five contiguous states. YCB’s results were included in WesBanco’s results from the date of merger consummation.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

WesBanco’s critical accounting policies involving the significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in WesBanco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 within the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

(1) Non-GAAP net income excludes after-tax merger-related expenses. The above non-GAAP financial measures used by WesBanco provide information useful to investors in understanding WesBanco’s operating performance and trends, and facilitate comparisons with the performance of WesBanco’s peers.

Net interest income increased $12.4 million or 20.7%, during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter of 2016, due to a 23.4% increase in average loan balances and the increase in net interest margin of 15 basis points. Year-to-date, net interest income increased $23.2 million or 19.4%, as average earning assets increased 14.4% and the net interest margin increased 14 basis points to 3.43%. The yield on earning assets has increased in each of the last six quarters totaling 22 basis points, with 18 basis points of the increase occurring subsequent to the acquisition of YCB’s higher yielding earning assets in September 2016. Six basis points of the increase occurred in the most recent quarter after the first quarter’s Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate increased 25 basis points. As a result, the net interest margin increased by 15 basis points to 3.45% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 3.30% in the second quarter of 2016. Yields increased on more than 90% of earning assets, which more than offset an 8 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities as compared to the second quarter of 2016. The increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities is primarily due to higher rates for certain short term borrowings and interest bearing demand deposits, which includes public funds. Average interest bearing deposits during the 2017 second quarter increased 12.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2016, as all interest bearing deposit types increased other than CDs. In addition, the second quarter net interest margin included approximately 8 basis points of accretion from prior acquisitions compared to 7 basis points in the second quarter of 2016, and 8 basis points in the first quarter of 2017.

The provision for credit losses increased to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, due primarily to loan growth. On a linked-quarter basis, the provision decreased $0.3 million. The provision for credit losses for the first half of 2017 increased to $5.1 million compared to $4.1 million in the first half of 2016. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average portfolio loans were 0.09% in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 0.08% in the second quarter of 2016.

For the second quarter of 2017, non-interest income increased $2.5 million or 12.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2016. Trust fees increased $0.5 million or 10.6%, based in part on a 4.1% increase in trust assets, improvements in equity markets during the past year, as well as organic growth, and estate fees. Service charges on deposits increased $0.9 million or 21.7%, and electronic banking fees increased $1.2 million or 33.2%, through a larger customer deposit base from the addition of YCB. Bank-owned life insurance increased $0.4 million primarily due to life insurance death benefits recorded in the second quarter of 2017. Other income decreased $0.8 million primarily due to a decrease in commercial customer loan swap fee income, which was related to a larger commercial project in the prior year period. For the six month period ending June 30, 2017, non-interest income increased $6.0 million, reflecting similar trends as in the second quarter, while net gains on sale of mortgage loans increased $1.2 million due to increases in mortgage loans sold into the secondary market, as total mortgage loan volume increased by 15.9% to $188.5 million. Net securities gains decreased $1.2 million, primarily due to gains on called securities in 2016.    

Excluding merger-related expenses in both years as noted in the table above, non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2017 increased $9.2 million or 19.8%, compared to the prior year period, principally due to the acquisition. Salaries and wages increased $3.9 million or 19.7%, due to an 18.7% increase in full-time equivalent employees primarily from the YCB acquisition (net of positions terminated in the fourth quarter upon systems and branch conversions), and annual adjustments to compensation effective during the quarter. Employee benefits expense increased $0.4 million or 5.4%, primarily from higher health insurance costs and payroll taxes associated with the additional employees, which factors were offset somewhat by lower pension expense. Increases in net occupancy and equipment were also primarily related to the additional branches from the YCB acquisition. Marketing expense was seasonally higher during the second quarter, reflecting current consumer advertising campaigns, with the year-over-year increase related mostly to the market expansion from the acquisition. FDIC insurance decreased 17.6%, even with the acquisition, due to a lower fee schedule implemented July 1, 2016 by the FDIC for banks under $10 billion in total asset size as well as certain improved risk factors. Other operating expenses increased $2.1 million or 22.4%, through increases in miscellaneous taxes, professional fees, postage, and communications, primarily due to the YCB acquisition. For the first six months of 2017, non-interest expense increased $17.8 million or 19.3%, reflecting similar trends as in the second quarter, while payroll taxes were seasonally higher in the first quarter and marketing expenses were higher in the second quarter due to campaign management expenses. Some additional expected cost savings from the YCB acquisition should continue to be experienced throughout the remainder of 2017, although most personnel-related savings were obtained after the late 2016 branch and system conversions.

Table of Contents

The provision for income taxes increased $3.5 million or 20.8%, during the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016, due mostly to the first half of 2017 pre-tax income increasing 17.4% from the same period in 2016. In addition, the adoption earlier this year of a new accounting standard related to low income housing investment amortization moved $0.8 million from other operating expense to the provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2017. For the second quarter, the same factors affected the provision, with $0.3 million of recorded low income housing investment amortization, and a lower overall effective tax rate than in the first quarter due to factors such as the forecast of taxable income, higher stock-related excess tax benefits and adjustments to certain permanent tax item estimates.

Net interest income, which is WesBanco’s largest source of revenue, is the difference between interest income on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest expense on liabilities (deposits and short and long-term borrowings). Net interest income is affected by the general level and changes in interest rates, the steepness and shape of the yield curve, changes in the amount and composition of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as the frequency of repricing of existing assets and liabilities. Net interest income increased $12.4 million or 20.7% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter of 2016, due to a 23.4% increase in average loan balances and a 15 basis point increase in the net interest margin. For the first six months of 2017, net interest income increased $23.2 million or 19.4% from the first six months of 2016 as average earning assets increased 14.4% and the net interest margin increased 14 basis points to 3.43%. Loan balances increased from both the YCB acquisition and from 4.1% of organic loan growth, highlighted by 8.7% of organic commercial loan growth over the last twelve months. Total average deposits increased in the second quarter by $1.0 billion or 17.2% compared to the second quarter of 2016, while certificates of deposit, which have the highest interest cost among deposits, decreased by $85.9 million or 5.8%. Total average organic deposits, excluding CDs, increased $200.1 million or 4.4% from the second quarter of 2016, and was driven by 10.2% growth in interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposits, reflecting customer preferences, and marketing and customer incentive strategies. The net interest margin increased to 3.45% in the second quarter of 2017 from 3.30% in the same quarter of 2016, due to a 20 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets. Yields increased on over 90% of earning assets, more than offsetting an 8 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities from the second quarter of 2016. The increase in overall funding costs was due to higher rates for certain short term borrowings and interest bearing demand deposits, which include public funds. Approximately 8 basis points of accretion from prior acquisitions was included in the second quarter of 2017 net interest margin compared to 7 basis points in the second quarter of 2016, and 8 basis points for the first quarter.

Table of Contents

Interest income increased $14.6 million or 21.6% in the second quarter of 2017 and $26.9 million or 19.9% in the first half of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 due to higher average loan balances and higher yields in almost every earning asset category. Earning asset yields were influenced positively in 2017 by the 25 basis point first quarter target federal funds rate increase. Average loan balances increased by $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to the acquisition, and loan yields increased by 13 basis points during this same period. Loan yields increased to 4.24% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter in 2016 due to higher loan yields on the acquired YCB loan portfolio and the previously mentioned federal funds rate increase. Loans currently provide the greatest impact on interest income and the yield from earning assets as they have the largest balance and the highest yield within major earning asset categories. In the second quarter of 2017, average loans represented 73.2% of average earning assets, an increase from 68.0% in the same quarter of 2016. Total securities yields increased by 13 basis points in the second quarter of 2017 from the same period in 2016 due to lower amortization expense from paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, select sales of short-term, lower yielding investment securities in 2016 and a higher percentage of average tax-exempt securities to total securities. The average balance of tax-exempt securities, which provide the highest yield within securities, increased 12.8% or $81.8 million over the last year, and were 31.7% of total average securities in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 27.1% in the second quarter of 2016, which helped to mitigate their 22 basis point decline in yield. While the yield on taxable securities increased by 14 basis points from the second quarter of 2016, taxable securities balances decreased by $168.4 million or 9.8% from the second quarter of 2016 due to maturities, calls, sales and paydowns. These securities were not fully replaced due to management’s focus on maintaining the size of the balance sheet in order to delay the financial impact of crossing $10 billion in assets.

Portfolio loans increased $1.2 billion or 23.6% over the last twelve months with $1.0 billion from the YCB acquisition and $210.1 million or 4.1% from organic loan growth. Organic loan growth was achieved through $2.2 billion in loan originations in the last twelve months. Total business loan originations were up approximately 37.6% over the last year. Organic loan growth was driven by expanded market areas and additional commercial personnel in our core markets.

Interest expense increased $2.2 million or 28.3% in the second quarter of 2017 and $3.7 million or 23.5% in the first half of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, due primarily to increases in the balances and rates paid on most interest bearing liability categories. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased by 8 basis points in the second quarter of 2017 from the same period of 2016. Average other borrowings and subordinated debt balances increased by $116.0 million or 57.5% from the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to debt acquired in the YCB acquisition. However, FHLB borrowings decreased by $74.3 million or 7.3% from the second quarter of 2016 due to scheduled maturities of borrowings, while rates paid increased by 14 basis points due to a lengthening in average borrowing term. Average interest bearing deposits increased by $578.2 million or 12.2% from the second quarter of 2016, also due to the YCB acquisition. Slightly offsetting the previously mentioned increases, the average balance of CDs decreased $85.9 million from the second quarter of 2016, even after acquiring YCB’s CD portfolio. This decrease was partially due to an $80.8 million reduction in CDARS® balances from $205.6 million at June 30, 2016 to $124.8 million at June 30, 2017. In addition, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $466.7 million from the second quarter of 2016 and are now 25.4% of total average deposits, compared to 22.1% in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting customers’ preferences toward demand deposits, and marketing strategies.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision for credit losses is the amount to be added to the allowance for credit losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level considered appropriate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses also includes the amount to be added to the reserve for loan commitments to bring that reserve to a level considered appropriate to absorb probable losses on unfunded commitments. The provision for credit losses increased to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2016 due primarily to loan growth. Credit quality continues to be excellent and improved year-over-year on a percentage basis. Non-performing loans (including TDRs), and criticized and classified loans all improved as a percentage of total portfolio loans from June 30, 2016. Non-performing loans were 0.67% of total loans at June 30, 2017, decreasing from 0.80% of total loans at the end of the second quarter of 2016. Criticized and classified loans were 1.25% of total loans, improving from 1.53% at June 30, 2016. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average portfolio loans were 0.09% in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 0.08% in the second quarter of 2016. (Please see the Allowance for Credit Losses section of this MD&A for additional discussion).

Non-interest income is a significant source of revenue and an important part of WesBanco’s results of operations. WesBanco offers its customers a wide range of retail, commercial, investment and electronic banking services, which are viewed as a vital component of WesBanco’s ability to attract and maintain customers, as well as providing additional fee income beyond normal spread-related income to WesBanco. For the second quarter of 2017, non-interest income increased $2.5 million or 12.9% compared to the second quarter of 2016. The increase is driven by a $1.2 million increase in electronic banking fees, a $0.9 million increase in service charges on deposits, and a $0.5 million increase in trust fees, while swap fee income decreased $0.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, non-interest income increased $6.0 million or 15.4%, reflecting similar trends as in the second quarter, as well as reduced securities gains year over year due to one agency note called in the first six months of 2016 resulting in a $0.9 million securities gain.

Trust fees increased $0.5 million or 10.6% compared to the second quarter of 2016 due to market improvements, customer development initiatives, and higher estate fees. Total trust assets have increased $0.1 billion from $3.7 billion at June 30, 2016 to $3.8 billion at June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, trust assets include managed assets of $3.2 billion and non-managed (custodial) assets of $0.6 billion. Assets managed for the WesMark Funds, a proprietary group of mutual funds that is advised by WesBanco Trust and Investment Services, were $925.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and $895.0 million at June 30, 2016, which are included in trust managed assets.

Service charges on deposits increased $0.9 million or 21.7% compared to the second quarter of 2016 due to the larger customer deposit base from the YCB acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, service charges on deposits increased $1.8 million or 22.2% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. Deposits increased $1.1 billion or 19.3% to $7.1 billion as of June 30, 2017 as compared to June 30, 2016.

Electronic banking fees, which include debit card interchange fees, continued to grow, increasing $1.2 million or 33.2% compared to the second quarter of 2016, due to a higher volume of debit card transactions from the YCB acquisition as well as WesBanco’s legacy customers. The volume increase in our legacy markets is due to marketing and process initiatives as well as a higher percentage of customers using these products.

Bank-owned life insurance revenue increased $0.4 million or 45.1% compared to the second quarter of 2016 due to the YCB acquisition as well as death benefits of $0.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, bank-owned life insurance revenue increased $0.6 million or 31.0% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The total cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance increased $37.4 million to $190.3 million as of June 30, 2017 as compared to $152.9 million as of June 30, 2016, due mostly to the YCB acquisition plus an increase over the last twelve months in policy cash surrender values.

Net gains on sales of mortgage loans increased $0.3 million or 41.7% compared to the second quarter of 2016 due to increased production volumes combined with higher sales percentages. Total mortgage production was $106.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, up 4.3% from the comparable 2016 quarter. Mortgages sold into the secondary market represented $58.4 million or 54.9% of overall mortgage loan production in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $41.5 million or 40.7% in the same 2016 period. For the six months ended June 20, 2017, net gains on sales of mortgage loans increased $1.2 million or 95.6% as compared to June 30, 2016.

Swap fee and valuation income decreased $0.9 million or 93.0% compared to the second quarter of 2016 due to the prior year quarter including higher commercial customer loan swap-related income, primarily from one larger commercial loan relationship. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, swap fee and valuation income decreased $0.1 million or 11.5% as compared to June 30, 2016.

Non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2017 grew $8.5 million compared to the same quarter in 2016, principally from the YCB acquisition. Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 grew $17.6 million compared to the same period in 2016. For the second quarter, salaries and wages increased $3.9 million or 19.7% due primarily to increased compensation expense related to annual compensation adjustments and an increase in full-time equivalent employees from the acquisition. Net occupancy increased $1.3 million or 40.1% primarily related to the YCB acquisition, which added 34 new branch locations. Nearly all other expenses increased primarily from the acquisition as well.

Salaries and wages increased $3.9 million or 19.7% from the second quarter of 2016 and $7.7 million or 19.8% over the first half of 2016 due to increased compensation expense related to an 18.7% increase in full-time equivalent employees, primarily from the acquisition, and annual adjustments to compensation. Employee benefits expense increased $0.4 million or 5.4% compared to the second quarter of 2016 and $1.5 million or 10.6% over the first half of 2016 primarily from the additional employees as well as seasonally higher payroll taxes in the first quarter, which was partially offset by a decrease in pension costs.

Net occupancy costs increased $1.3 million or 40.1% from the second quarter of 2016 and $2.0 million or 29.7% over the first half of 2016 primarily due to increased building-related costs including utilities, lease expense, depreciation, repairs and other seasonal maintenance costs, primarily due to the 34 YCB branch locations acquired and normal building maintenance and repair costs of the legacy branch network and other infrastructure needs.

Equipment costs increased $0.7 million or 20.4% from the second quarter of 2016 and $1.3 million or 19.2% over the first half of 2016 due to continuous improvements in technology and communication infrastructure, software costs and origination and customer support centers combined with the YCB acquisition.

FDIC insurance decreased $0.2 million compared to the second quarter 2016 and $0.5 million over the first half of 2016 despite a larger balance sheet from the YCB acquisition. The Deposit Insurance Fund reached 1.15% prior to July 1, 2016, thus allowing the FDIC to institute new favorable assessment rate calculations beginning on that date for banks under $10 billion in size. WesBanco also experienced a further decrease in FDIC insurance expense based on continuing improvement in certain risk factors.

Amortization of intangible assets of $1.2 million in the second quarter, an increase of $0.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2016, included $0.6 million related to the YCB acquisition. The YCB acquisition added approximately $12.0 million in core deposit intangibles and $0.8 million in non-compete agreements with former YCB executives covering a three-year term.

Franchise and other miscellaneous taxes increased $0.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2016 and $0.9 million over the first half of 2016 due to the YCB acquisition and organic company growth.

Professional fees have increased $0.4 million from the second quarter of 2016 and $0.7 million over the first half of 2016 primarily due to certain third-party fees associated with the increased volume in loan originations, as well as consulting fees related to preparations for certain regulatory requirements, such as stress testing, for institutions that exceed $10 billion in total assets. Postage, communications, supplies and other expenses have increased a total of $1.2 million from the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to normal operating expenses related to the YCB acquisition.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes increased $3.5 million or 20.8%, during the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016, due in part to a 17.4% increase in the first half of 2017 pre-tax income as compared to the same period of 2016. In addition, earlier this year the Company adopted a new accounting standard related to low income housing investment amortization, which, for the first six months of 2017, moved $0.8 million from other operating expense to the provision for income taxes. For the second quarter, the amount was $0.3 million. Additionally, the adoption of another new accounting standard resulted in the reclassification of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation from additional paid in capital in shareholders’ equity to income tax expense, which reduced income tax expense by $0.2 million in the second quarter and $0.3 million year to date. For the quarter, the provision increased 22.2% from last year due to higher pre-tax income and the above-noted additional factors. The effective tax rate was 29.1% for the first quarter and 26.8% for the second quarter, due to adjustments to the forecast for taxable income and permanent deductions for the remainder of the year. The year-to-date effective tax rate of 28.0% is currently anticipated to be in the range of the approximate effective tax rate for the reminder of the year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased 0.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2017, while deposits and shareholders’ equity increased 0.4% and 2.7%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2016. Total portfolio loans increased $141.0 million or 2.3% as a result of originations outpacing pay-downs, which were a result of expanded market areas and additional commercial personnel in WesBanco’s core markets. Deposits increased $31.6 million from year-end, resulting from a 3.5% increase in savings deposits, a 2.7% increase in demand deposits, and a 1.0% increase in money market deposits, which more than offset the 7.4% decrease in certificates of deposit. The decrease in certificates of deposit is a result of lower rate offerings for maturing certificates of deposit and customer preferences for other deposit types, or non-deposit products, coupled with a $10.4 million decrease in CDARS® balances and decreases in certificates of deposit balances acquired in the ESB and YCB transactions of $42.6 million and $19.7 million, respectively. The increases in demand deposits and savings deposits were attributable to marketing, incentives paid to customers, focused retail and business strategies to obtain more account relationships, and customers’ preference for short-term maturities, coupled with deposits from bonus and royalty payments for Marcellus and Utica shale gas payments from energy companies in WesBanco’s southwestern Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and northern West Virginia markets. Total borrowings increased 1.6% during the first six months of 2017 primarily as a result of a $52.6 million increase in FHLB borrowings, which was partially offset by a $31.7 million decrease in other short-term borrowings. Total shareholders’ equity increased by approximately $36.1 million or 2.7%, compared to December 31, 2016, primarily due to net income exceeding dividends for the period by $29.4 million, coupled with a $5.0 million decrease in other comprehensive losses.

(1) At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no holdings of any one issuer, other than U.S. government sponsored entities and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of WesBanco’s shareholders’ equity.
(2) Weighted average yields have been calculated on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35%.

Total investment securities, which are a source of liquidity for WesBanco as well as a contributor to interest income, decreased by $38.5 million or 1.7% from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Through the first six months of 2017, the available-for-sale portfolio decreased by $1.8 million or 0.1%, while the held-to-maturity portfolio decreased by $37.6 million or 3.5%. The decrease in the overall portfolio from December 31, 2016 was caused by calls, maturities and paydowns exceeding purchases in the first six months of 2017, as a result of management’s strategies to remix earning assets to a higher percentage of loans and a lower percentage of securities and to control the size of the balance sheet to delay crossing the $10 billion asset size threshold. In addition, $9.4 million of securities were sold from the HTM portfolio in the second quarter of 2017, which resulted in $0.4 million in realized gains. These securities were all deemed to be at maturity, as less than 15% of their acquired principal balance was remaining at the time of sale. The weighted average yield of the portfolio increased by 6 basis points from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017. This yield increase was due to a continuing mix shift that resulted in a higher balance of tax-exempt securities to the total portfolio, as well as lower amortization expense on mortgage-backed securities from decreases in principal paydowns in the first half of 2017. The tax-exempt portion of the investment portfolio generally provides the highest tax-equivalent yields of any security type within the portfolio.

Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $5.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively. With approximately 45% of the investment portfolio in the held-to-maturity category, the recent volatility in interest rates does not have as much impact on other comprehensive income as if the entire portfolio were included in the category available-for-sale.

Trading securities, which consist of investments in various mutual funds held in grantor trusts formed in connection with an officer/director deferred compensation plan, are recorded at fair value. Gains and losses due to fair value fluctuations on trading securities are included in non-interest income under other income, while the corresponding change in the obligation to the employee is recognized in employee benefits expense.

WesBanco’s municipal portfolio comprises 39.9% of the overall securities portfolio as of June 30, 2017 as compared to 39.6% as of December 31, 2016, and it carries different risks that are not as prevalent in other security types contained in the portfolio.

WesBanco uses prices from independent pricing services and, to a lesser extent, indicative (non-binding) quotes from independent brokers, to measure the fair value of its securities. WesBanco validates prices received from pricing services or brokers using a variety of methods, including,

 

41


Table of Contents

but not limited to, comparison to secondary pricing services, corroboration of pricing by reference to other independent market data such as secondary broker quotes and relevant benchmark indices, review of pricing by personnel familiar with market liquidity and other market-related conditions, review of pricing service methodologies, review of independent auditor reports received from the pricing service regarding its internal controls, and through review of inputs and assumptions used in pricing certain securities thinly traded or with limited observable data points. The procedures in place provide management with a sufficient understanding of the valuation models, assumptions, inputs and pricing to reasonably measure the fair value of WesBanco’s securities. For additional disclosure relating to fair value measurements, refer to Note 7, “Fair Value Measurement” in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

LOANS AND CREDIT RISK

Loans represent WesBanco’s single largest balance sheet asset classification and the largest source of interest income. Business purpose loans consist of commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans and other commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans that are not secured by real estate. CRE loans are further segmented into land and construction loans, and loans for improved property. Consumer purpose loans consist of residential real estate loans, home equity lines of credit and other consumer loans. Loans held for sale generally consist of residential real estate loans originated for sale in the secondary market, but at times may also include other types of loans. The outstanding balance of each major category of the loan portfolio is summarized in Table 10.

The risk that borrowers will be unable or unwilling to repay their obligations and default on loans is inherent in all lending activities. Credit risk arises from many sources including general economic conditions, external events that impact businesses or industries, isolated events that impact a major employer, individual loss of employment or other personal hardships as well as changes in interest rates or the value of collateral. Credit risk is also impacted by a concentration of exposure within a geographic market or to one or more borrowers, industries or collateral types. The primary goal in managing credit risk is to minimize the impact of default by an individual borrower or group of borrowers. Credit risk is managed through the initial underwriting process as well as through ongoing monitoring and administration of the portfolio that varies by the type of loan. The Bank’s credit policies establish standard underwriting guidelines for each type of loan and require an appropriate evaluation of the credit characteristics of each borrower. This evaluation includes the borrower’s primary source of repayment capacity; the adequacy of collateral, if any, to secure the loan; the potential value of personal guarantees as secondary sources of repayment; and other factors unique to each loan that may increase or mitigate its risk. Credit bureau scores are also considered when evaluating consumer purpose loans as well as guarantors of business purpose loans. However, the Bank does not periodically update credit bureau scores subsequent to when loans are made to determine changes in credit history.

Credit risk is mitigated for all types of loans by continuously monitoring delinquency levels and pursuing collection efforts at the earliest stage of delinquency. The Bank also monitors general economic conditions, including employment, housing activity and real estate values in its market. The Bank also periodically evaluates and changes its underwriting standards when warranted based on market conditions, the historical performance of a category of the portfolio, or other external factors. Credit risk is also regularly evaluated for the impact of adverse economic and other events that increase the risk of default and the potential loss in the event of default to understand their impact on the Bank’s earnings and capital.

Total portfolio loans increased $141.0 million or 2.3% from December 31, 2016 and $1.2 billion or 23.6% over the last twelve months with $1.0 billion from the YCB acquisition and $210.1 million or 4.1% from organic loan growth.    Expanded market areas and additional commercial personnel in our core markets provided the growth, which occurred primarily in commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and home equity lending categories and was achieved through $2.2 billion in loan originations in the last twelve months. Total business loan originations were up approximately 37.6% over the last year. Residential real estate loans decreased, despite increased mortgage production, due to an increase in loans sold into the secondary market and payoffs, while consumer loans decreased $35.8 million or 9.0% due to a reduced focus and pricing adjustments for indirect installment loans.

Total loan commitments, including loans approved but not closed, of $1.9 billion, increased $102.2 million or 5.8% from December 31, 2016 due primarily to the larger borrowing base from the YCB acquisition as well as typical seasonal increases, particularly in land and construction. The line utilization percentage for the commercial portfolio was 47.8% at June 30, 2017 and 45.5% at December 31, 2016.

The commercial portfolio is monitored for potential concentrations of credit risk by market, type of lending, CRE property type, C&I and owner-occupied CRE by industry, investment CRE dependence on common tenants and industries or property types that are similarly impacted by external factors.

The global decline in coal, oil and natural gas prices has had both a positive impact on the commercial portfolio by lowering all borrowers’ energy costs, but also resulted in a reduction in coal, oil and gas activity that adversely impacted certain industries or property types. At June 30, 2017 total exposure to core energy industries such as drilling, extraction, pipeline construction, mining equipment, investment real estate with energy-related tenants and other related support activities approximated $49.5 million or 0.61% of the total loan portfolio as compared to $52.7 million or 0.66% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2017. Exposure to ancillary industries such as utility distribution and transportation, engineering services, manufacturers and retailers of other heavy equipment used in core energy industries, approximates an additional $65.0 million in exposure or 0.81% of the total loan portfolio as compared to $62.7 million or 0.78% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2017. The largest exposure to any one borrower in either core energy or ancillary industries was $24.9 million to a company that operates as a natural gas distribution utility.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS, IMPAIRED LOANS AND LOANS PAST DUE 90 DAYS OR MORE

Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans and TDRs, other real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure, bank premises held for sale, and repossessed automobiles acquired to satisfy defaulted consumer loans.

Non-performing loans, which consist of non-accrual loans and TDRs, increased $3.6 million or 9.2%, from December 31, 2016, primarily due to a purchased credit impaired loan from ESB, placed on nonaccrual in the first quarter. TDRs decreased $0.8 million due to successful exit strategies combined with normal repayments and fewer additions to the category due to overall improvement in economic conditions in our markets. (Please see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.)

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets decreased $1.6 million from December 31, 2016 primarily due to continued efforts to liquidate properties acquired from YCB, which totaled $3.0 million on the acquisition date.

Loans past due 30 days or more and accruing interest excluding TDRs increased $1.0 million or 5.3% from December 31, 2016. These loans continue to accrue interest because they are both well-secured and in the process of collection. The increase in 30 to 89 days past due status was primarily related to one commercial real estate customer in process of refinancing. Delinquency in all other loan categories decreased from year-end primarily due to successful collection efforts on delinquent YCB acquired loans, and represented 0.26% of total loans at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Loans past due 90 days or more increased $0.6 million from December 31, 2016 and represented 0.07% of total loans at June 30, 2017 compared to 0.06% at December 31, 2016. The continued low levels of delinquency are the result of management’s continued focus on sound initial underwriting, timely collection of loans at their earliest stage of delinquency, stable unemployment and generally improved economic conditions.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses represented 0.70% of total portfolio loans at June 30, 2017 compared to 0.70% as of December 31, 2016 and 0.84% as of June 30, 2016. Included in the ratio are acquired YCB and ESB loans (recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition of $1.7 billion) and the related allowance on YCB and ESB acquired loans of $3.3 million at June 30, 2017. Excluding these acquired loans and the related allowance results in a more comparable coverage ratio to prior periods.

The allowance for loans individually-evaluated was relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2016.

The allowance for loan commitments of $0.6 million at June 30, 2017 was unchanged compared to December 31, 2016 and is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The allowance for credit losses by loan category, presented in Note 5 “Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, summarizes the impact of changes in various factors that affect the allowance for loan losses in each segment of the portfolio. The allowance for all segments is impacted by changes in loan balances, as well as changes in historical loss rates adjusted for qualitative factors such as economic conditions. The CRE and C&I segments of the portfolio are also impacted by changes in the risk grading distribution of the portfolio as well as the migration of CRE loans from land and construction to improved property upon the completion of construction.

The loss migration rate by internal risk grade is the primary factor for establishing the allowance for all commercial loans, and the portfolio segment loss history is the primary factor for establishing the allowance for residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans. The categorization of loans as non-performing is not as significant a factor as the loss migration rate by risk grade or the segment loss history, although certain non-performing loans that carry specific reserves are also typically considered classified under the internal risk grading system. Criticized and classified loans were 1.25% of total loans, improving from 1.53% at June 30, 2016. Criticized and classified loans as a percent of total loans improved as credit quality continued to improve, enabling certain loans to be upgraded while others have paid down.

Table 13 summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to each category of the loan portfolio. The increase in the allocation of the allowance for CRE—land and construction and C&I loans is primarily driven by growth in these respective categories. The allowance for CRE—improved property declined despite 0.9% of loan growth in the category as historical charge-offs and loan downgrades continue to decline at a faster pace than growth in the category. The overall allowance for retail loan categories was relatively unchanged.

Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated as described in Table 13, the total allowance is available to absorb actual losses in any category of the loan portfolio. However, differences between management’s estimation of probable losses and actual incurred losses in subsequent periods for any category may necessitate future adjustments to the provision for loan losses applicable to the category. Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate to absorb probable losses at June 30, 2017.

Deposits, which represent WesBanco’s primary source of funds, are offered in various account forms at various rates through WesBanco’s 173 financial centers. The FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000 per account.

Total deposits increased by $31.6 million or 0.4% during the first six months of 2017. Interest bearing demand and non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 5.1% and 0.7%, respectively, while savings and money market deposits increased 3.5% and 1.0%, respectively. This growth is primarily attributable to marketing, customer incentives, focused retail and business strategies to obtain more account relationships and customers’ preferences for shorter-term maturities, coupled with deposits from bonus and royalty payments for Marcellus and Utica shale gas payments from energy companies in WesBanco’s southwestern Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and northern West Virginia markets. In addition, money market deposits were influenced primarily through WesBanco’s participation in the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS®) money market deposit program. ICS® reciprocal balances totaled $48.0 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $5.7 million at December 31, 2016.

Certificates of deposit decreased $110.1 million due primarily to the effects of an overall corporate strategy designed to increase and remix retail deposit relationships with a focus on overall products that can be offered at a lower cost to WesBanco. The decline was also impacted by lower offered rates on maturing certificates of deposit earlier in the period and customer preferences for other non-maturity deposit types. WesBanco does not generally solicit brokered or other deposits out-of-market or over the internet, but does participate in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services (CDARS®) program and the ICS® money market deposit program. CDARS® balances totaled $124.8 million in outstanding balances at June 30, 2017, of which $92.3 million represented one-way buys, compared to $135.2 million in total outstanding balances at December 31, 2016, of which $100.1 million represented one-way buys. Certificates of deposit greater than $250,000 were approximately $220.8 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $219.3 million at December 31, 2016. Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more were approximately $635.5 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $681.5 million at December 31, 2016. Certificates of deposit totaling approximately $810.9 million at June 30, 2017 with a cost of 0.59% are scheduled to mature within the next 12 months. WesBanco intends to continue to focus on its core deposit strategies and improving its overall mix of transaction accounts to total deposits, and may offer special promotions or rates on certain maturities of CD’s and other savings products based on competition, sales strategies, liquidity needs and wholesale borrowing costs.

Borrowings are a less significant source of funding for WesBanco compared to total deposits, totaling 13.7% of total assets. During the first six months of 2017, WesBanco reduced other short-term borrowings and borrowed approximately $60.0 million of FHLB borrowings with longer-term maturities. In addition, WesBanco extended the maturities of approximately $230.0 million of FHLB borrowings at an average cost of 1.57% versus current short-term FHLB rates approximating 1.10% - 1.20%.

Other short-term borrowings, which consist primarily of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased at June 30, 2017, and may also include notes payable, were $167.7 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $199.4 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to a $25.5 million decrease in federal funds purchased and a $6.2 million decrease in repurchase agreements. WesBanco has a revolving line of credit, which is a senior obligation of the parent company, with another financial institution. This line of credit, which accrues interest at an adjusted LIBOR rate, provides for aggregate unsecured borrowings of up to $25.0 million. There was no outstanding balance at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt consisted of $25.9 million in subordinated debentures and $138.3 million in junior subordinated debt at June 30, 2017. The subordinated debt was issued by the former Your Community Bank and has a fixed rate of 6.25% through the call date of December 15, 2020 at which time the interest rate converts to a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 459 basis points. The subordinated debt matures on December 15, 2025 and is considered Tier 2 regulatory capital for both WesBanco Bank and WesBanco, Inc. The junior subordinated debt has either been issued by trusts formed by WesBanco or assumed in acquisitions. At June 30, 2017, junior subordinated debt totaling $129.8 million had variable interest rates based on three-month LIBOR ranging from 2.85% to 4.40%, and junior subordinated debt totaling $8.5 million had a fixed rate of 8.00%. The junior subordinated debt matures at various dates from June 2033 through June 2038 and is considered Tier 1 regulatory capital for WesBanco, Inc. under current regulatory guidelines.

Table of Contents

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

WesBanco enters into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit, loans approved but not closed, overdraft limits and contingent obligations to purchase loans funded by other entities. Since many of these commitments expire unused or partially used, these commitments may not reflect future cash requirements. Please refer to Note 9, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Loans and Credit Risk” section of this MD&A for additional information.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders’ equity was $1.4 billion at June 30, 2017 compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase resulted primarily from net income during the current six-month period of $52.2 million and a $5.0 million decrease in other comprehensive loss, which were partially offset by the declaration of common shareholder dividends totaling $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. WesBanco also increased its quarterly dividend rate to $0.26 per share in February, representing an 8.3% increase over the prior quarterly rate and a cumulative 86% increase over the last twenty-six quarters.

Under the current share repurchase plan, WesBanco purchased 12,987 shares during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 from employees for the payment of withholding taxes to facilitate the vesting of restricted stock. At June 30, 2017, the remaining shares authorized to be purchased under the current repurchase plans totaled 1,107,320 shares.

On February 17, 2017, WesBanco granted 12,000 Total Shareholder Return Plan shares for the performance period beginning January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2019 to certain executives. The award is determined at the end of the three-year period if the TSR of WesBanco common stock is equal to or greater than the 50th percentile of the TSR of the peer group. The number of shares to be earned by the participant shall be 200% of the grant-date award if the TSR of WesBanco common stock is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of the TSR of the peer group. Upon achieving the market-based metric, shares determined to be earned by the participant become service-based and vest in three equal annual installments.

On May 16, 2017, WesBanco granted 117,550 stock options to selected officers at an exercise price of $38.88. These options are service-based and vest 50% at December 31, 2017 and 50% at December 31, 2018. On the same date, WesBanco also issued 70,321 shares of time-based restricted stock to selected officers and 9,003 shares of performance-based restricted stock to selected officers. The time-based restricted shares are service-based and cliff-vest 36 months from the date of grant. The performance-based restricted shares have a three-year performance period, beginning January 1, 2018, based on WesBanco’s return on average assets and return on average tangible common equity measured for each year, compared to a national peer group of peer financial institutions with total assets between approximately $9 billion and $15 billion. Earned performance-based restricted shares are also subject to additional service-based vesting with 50% vesting on May 16, 2021 after the completion of the three-year performance period and the final 50% vesting on May 16, 2022.

Regulatory guidelines require bank holding companies and commercial banks to maintain certain minimum capital ratios and define companies as “well capitalized” that sufficiently exceed the minimum ratios. At June 30, 2017, regulatory capital levels for both the Bank and WesBanco were substantially greater than the minimum amounts needed to be considered “well capitalized” under the regulations. There are various legal limitations under federal and state laws that limit the payment of dividends from the Bank to WesBanco. As of June 30, 2017, under FDIC regulations, WesBanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, a dividend of approximately $50.3 million from the Bank.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity is defined as a financial institution’s capacity to meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Liquidity risk is the risk that an institution’s financial condition or overall safety and soundness is adversely affected by an inability, or perceived inability, to meet its obligations. An institution’s obligations, and the funding sources to meet them, depend significantly on its business mix, balance sheet structure, and the cash flows of its on- and off-balance sheet obligations. Institutions confront various internal and external situations that can give rise to increased liquidity risk including funding mismatches, market constraints on funding sources, contingent liquidity events, changes in economic conditions, and exposure to credit, market, operation, legal and reputation risk. WesBanco actively manages liquidity risk through its ability to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan demand, unexpected outflows in deposits and other borrowings as well as to take advantage of market opportunities and meet operating cash needs. This is accomplished by maintaining liquid assets in the form of securities, sufficient borrowing capacity and a stable core deposit base. Liquidity is centrally monitored by WesBanco’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”).

WesBanco determines the degree of required liquidity by the relationship of total holdings of liquid assets to the possible need for funds to meet unexpected deposit losses and/or loan demands. The ability to quickly convert assets to cash at a minimal loss is a primary function of WesBanco’s investment portfolio management. WesBanco believes its cash flow from the loan portfolio, the investment portfolio, and other sources, adequately meet its liquidity requirements. WesBanco’s net loans to assets ratio was 64.3% at June 30, 2017 and deposit balances funded 71.6% of assets.

The following table lists the sources of liquidity from assets at June 30, 2017 expected within the next year:

(1) Projected prepayments are based on current prepayment speeds.

Deposit flows are another principal factor affecting overall WesBanco liquidity. Deposits totaled $7.1 billion at June 30, 2017. Deposit flows are impacted by current interest rates, products and rates offered by WesBanco versus various forms of competition, as well as customer behavior. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature within one year totaled $810.9 million at June 30, 2017, which includes jumbo regular certificates of deposit totaling $313.0 million with a weighted-average cost of 0.73%, and jumbo CDARS® deposits of $82.6 million with a weighted-average cost of 0.88%.

WesBanco maintains a line of credit with the FHLB as an additional funding source. Available credit with the FHLB at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 approximated $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. The FHLB requires securities to be specifically pledged to the FHLB and maintained in a FHLB-approved custodial arrangement if the member wishes to include such securities in the maximum borrowing capacity calculation. WesBanco has elected not to specifically pledge to the FHLB otherwise unpledged securities. At June 30, 2017, the Bank had unpledged available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost of $294.4 million. A portion of these securities could be sold for additional liquidity, or such securities could be pledged to secure additional FHLB borrowings. Available liquidity through the sale of investment securities is currently limited as only approximately 25% of the available-for-sale portfolio is unpledged, due to the pledging agreements that WesBanco has with public deposit customers. Public deposit balances have increased significantly through the ESB and YCB acquisitions of the past two years. WesBanco’s held-to-maturity portfolio currently contains $629.0 million of unpledged securities. However, most of the balance represents municipal bonds, which can only be pledged in limited circumstances. Unless in compliance with certain criteria, these securities cannot be sold without tainting the remainder of the held-to-maturity portfolio. If tainting occurs, all remaining securities with the held-to-maturity designation would be required to go to available-for-sale, and the held-to-maturity designation would not be available to WesBanco for several years.

WesBanco participates in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Borrower-in-Custody Program (“BIC”) whereby WesBanco pledges certain consumer loans as collateral for borrowings. At June 30, 2017, WesBanco had a BIC line of credit totaling $208.1 million, none of which was outstanding. Alternative funding sources may include the utilization of existing overnight lines of credit with third party banks totaling $285.0 million, of which $32.5 million was outstanding at June 30, 2017, along with seeking other lines of credit, borrowings under repurchase agreement lines, increasing deposit rates to attract additional funds, accessing brokered deposits, or selling securities available-for-sale or certain types of loans.

Table of Contents

Other short-term borrowings of $167.7 million at June 30, 2017 consisted of callable repurchase agreements and overnight sweep checking accounts for large commercial customers, and federal funds purchased. There has not been a significant fluctuation in the average deposit balances of the overnight sweep checking accounts during 2017. The overnight sweep checking accounts require U.S. Government securities to be pledged equal to or greater than the average deposit balance in the related customer accounts.

The principal sources of parent company liquidity are dividends from the Bank, $64.1 million in cash and investments on hand, and a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with another bank, which did not have an outstanding balance at June 30, 2017. WesBanco is in compliance with all loan covenants. There are various legal limitations under federal and state laws that limit the payment of dividends from the Bank to the parent company. As of June 30, 2017, under FDIC and State of West Virginia regulations, WesBanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, dividends of approximately $50.3 million from the Bank. Management believes these are appropriate levels of cash for WesBanco given the current environment. Management continuously monitors the adequacy of parent company cash levels and sources of liquidity through the use of metrics that relate current cash levels to historical and forecasted cash inflows and outflows.

WesBanco had outstanding commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of business approximating $1.9 billion at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. On a historical basis, only a small portion of these commitments will result in an outflow of funds. Please refer to Note 9, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Loans and Loan Commitments” section of this MD&A for additional information.

Federal financial regulatory agencies previously have issued guidance to provide for sound practices for managing funding and liquidity risk and strengthening liquidity risk management practices. WesBanco maintains a comprehensive management process for identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling liquidity risk, which is fully integrated into its risk management process. Management believes WesBanco has sufficient current liquidity to meet current obligations to borrowers, depositors and others as of June 30, 2017, and that WesBanco’s current liquidity risk management policies and procedures adequately address this guidance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by the section captioned “Forward-Looking Statements” included in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report.

MARKET RISK

The primary objective of WesBanco’s ALCO is to maximize net interest income within established policy parameters. This objective is accomplished through the management of balance sheet composition, market risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions and liquidity risk.

Market risk is defined as the risk of loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices. Management considers interest rate risk to be WesBanco’s most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. The relative consistency of WesBanco’s net interest income is largely dependent on effective management of interest rate risk. As interest rates change in the market, rates earned on interest rate sensitive assets and rates paid on interest rate sensitive liabilities do not necessarily move concurrently. Differing rate sensitivities may arise because fixed rate assets and liabilities may not have the same maturities, or because variable rate assets and liabilities differ in the timing and/or the percentage of rate changes.

WesBanco’s ALCO is a Board-level committee with both Board and senior management representation, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Risk Management Officer and the Senior Treasury Officer. It monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board- approved policy limits. Interest rate risk is monitored primarily through the use of an earnings simulation model and an economic value-at-risk model to measure the fair value of net equity. These models are highly dependent on various assumptions, which change regularly as the balance sheet and market interest rates change. The key assumptions and strategies employed are analyzed and reviewed quarterly by the ALCO, while appropriate documentation is maintained in meeting minutes and treasury department files.

The earnings simulation model projects changes in net interest income resulting from the effect of changes in interest rates. Forecasting changes in net interest income requires management to make certain assumptions regarding loan and security prepayment rates, security call dates, adjustments to various non-maturity deposit product rates, or “betas”, and non-maturity deposit decay rates, which may not necessarily reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Assumptions used are based primarily on both historical experience and current market rates, and are periodically back-tested and reviewed by third-party consultants. Security portfolio maturities and prepayments are assumed to be reinvested in similar instruments and callable/prepayable security forecasts are adjusted at varying levels of interest rates. While management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates, callable security forecasts and non-maturity deposit product behavior assumptions will approximate actual future results. Moreover, the net interest income sensitivity chart presented in Table 1, “Net Interest Income Sensitivity,” assumes that the balance sheet composition of interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the end of the period remains constant over the period being measured, and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve, regardless of the duration of the maturity or re-pricing of specific assets and liabilities. Since the assumptions used in the model relative to changes in interest rates are uncertain, the simulation analysis may not be indicative of actual results. In addition, the analysis may not consider all actions that management could employ in response to changes in interest rates and various earning asset and costing liability balances.

Management is aware of the significant effect inflation or deflation has upon interest rates and ultimately upon financial performance. WesBanco’s ability to cope with inflation or deflation is best determined by analyzing its capability to respond to changing market interest rates, as well as its ability to manage the various elements of non-interest income and expense during periods of increasing or decreasing inflation or deflation. WesBanco monitors the level and mix of interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities through ALCO in order to reduce the impact of inflation or deflation on net interest income. Management also controls the effects of inflation or deflation by conducting periodic reviews of the prices and terms of its various products and services, both in terms of the costs to offer the services as well as outside market influences upon such pricing, by introducing new products and services or reducing the availability of existing products and services, and by controlling overhead expenses.

Interest rate risk policy limits are determined by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income over a twelve-month period, assuming an immediate and sustained 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates across the entire yield curve, compared to a stable rate environment or base model. WesBanco’s current policy limits this exposure to a reduction of 10%, 12.5%, 15% and 20% or less, respectively, of net interest income from the base model over a twelve-month period. The table below shows WesBanco’s interest rate sensitivity at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, assuming the above-noted interest rate increases as compared to a base model. Due to the current lower interest rate environment, particularly for short-term rates, the 200 and 300 basis point decreasing change are not shown due to the unrealistic nature of results associated with short-term negative interest rates.

-100

   (4.2%)   (2.3%)   (10.0%)

As per the table above, the earnings simulation model at June 30, 2017 currently projects that net interest income for the next twelve-month period would decrease by 4.2% if interest rates were to fall immediately by 100 basis points, compared to a decrease of 2.3% for the same scenario as of December 31, 2016.

For rising rate scenarios, net interest income would increase by 4.0%, 6.8%, 9.7% and 12.0% if rates were to increase by 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points, respectively, as of June 30, 2017, compared to increases of 3.1%, 4.6%, 4.7% and 4.5% in a 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point increasing rate environment as of December 31, 2016.

The balance sheet shows greater asset sensitivity as of June 30, 2017, as compared to December 31, 2016, with differences resulting from changes in the mix of, and growth in various earning assets and costing liabilities, as well as recent adjustments in modeling assumptions such as deposit beta rates, decay rates for non-maturity deposits and loan prepayment speeds. A recent third-party study of the Company’s own historical betas, decay rates and prepayment speeds in various interest rate environments was completed, and the results were used to replace general industry data in prior evaluations, resulting in a portion of the increased asset sensitivity. While deposit betas have been increased from those used in prior periods, loan prepayment speeds were also increased to reflect our own loan balances’ propensity to prepay over time. The net impact was increased asset sensitivity in combination with the aforementioned balance sheet changes experienced from year-end. Overall asset sensitivity in non-parallel rising rate scenarios with shifting yield curve assumptions may be somewhat neutralized due to slower prepayment speeds, slower than forecasted increases to loan yields for competitive reasons, existing quotes on previously committed loans, extension risk associated with residential mortgages and mortgage-backed securities, and other earning asset and costing liability differences versus currently modeled assumptions. In addition, variable rate commercial loans with rate floors averaging 4.10% approximated $1.3 billion at June 30, 2017, or 30% of commercial loans, as compared to $1.3 billion or 32% of commercial loans at year-end. Approximately 48% or $602.7 million of these loans are currently priced at their floor, as compared to 53% or $671.9 million at December 31, 2016. In a less than 100 basis point rising rate environment, these loans may not adjust as rapidly from their current floor level as compared to loans without floors. As a result of the December 2016, March 2017 and June 2017 federal funds rate increases affecting short-term market rates such as one and three month LIBOR (an index used frequently in the setting of commercial loan rates, fixed rate loan spreads, and back-to-back loan swaps for certain commercial loan customers), more commercial loans with floors should experience a rate increase in a rising rate environment of 100 basis points or more.

Given the interest rate environment and flatter yield curve for much of 2016 affecting the repricing of loans and investments, WesBanco previously experienced a declining or flat net interest margin, with net interest income dependent upon both loan growth and asset re-mix strategies. It was expected that the base case net interest margin would somewhat decrease without loan growth. After the acquisition in 2016 of YCB and with three recent federal funds rate increases, the net interest margin has grown by 14 basis points compared to pre-acquisition levels due to higher yielding loans from YCB, loan mix and purchase accounting accretion. Further margin expansion would be dependent on additional federal funds and other market rate/yield curve increases over the remainder of the year, in addition to continued execution of our business strategy to remix investment securities runoff into loans and higher cost wholesale borrowings and CDs into lower costing transaction accounts. Net purchase accounting accretion is expected to decrease throughout 2017, which should be mostly offset by loan growth and by the asset sensitivity of the balance sheet in a rising rate scenario. Management currently anticipates that one additional short-term federal funds rate increase may occur during the remainder of 2017, and potentially two more in 2018, relatively consistent with general market and consensus economist expectations. Delays in implementing further rate increases for an asset-sensitive balance sheet or increases to deposit betas beyond our current modeling assumptions for existing accounts typically would have a negative impact on management’s estimates of the future direction and level of the net interest margin.

Maturities and repricing of higher-costing certificates of deposit in prior years has had the beneficial impact of mitigating compression from lower loan spreads in a competitive loan environment, combined with organic loan growth. However, with current CDs costing an average of 0.71%, this factor does not improve the net interest margin as CDs mature and reprice, as new offering rates are generally higher than current maturities’ rates. While customers over the past few years have moved maturing CD balances to lower-costing transaction accounts as well as certain non-deposit products, a portion of these lower-cost transaction account balances may move to higher-costing CDs or money market accounts as short-term rates continue to increase. Prior and current period CD runoff from former single service customers at ESB and YCB and our own retail focus on customers with multiple relationships versus single service CD customers has been replaced with FHLB and other short-term borrowings. Certificates of deposit totaling approximately $810.9 million mature within the next year at an average cost of 0.59%. Approximately $230 million of short-term maturing FHLB borrowings in the first half of 2017 were replaced with higher cost, medium-term borrowings, which strategy was intended to improve asset sensitivity and certain short-term liquidity measures. Additional maturing borrowings over the remainder of the year may also be lengthened at a somewhat higher cost to continue to improve various short-term liquidity ratios that management monitors, and in anticipation of future rate increases. In addition, management is currently controlling the total size of the balance sheet, without limiting loan growth, in order to remain under $10 billion in total assets through the remainder of 2017 and into 2018.

Table of Contents

The Bank has significant additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and various correspondent banks, and may utilize these funding sources, or an interest rate swap strategy, as necessary to lengthen liabilities, help offset mismatches in various asset maturities, and manage liquidity. CDARS® and ICS® deposits also continue to be used to lengthen maturities in certificates of deposit and for customers seeking higher-yielding instruments and/or to maintain their total deposit levels below FDIC insurance limits.

Current balance sheet strategies to manage the net interest margin in the expected rate environment include:

 

    increasing total loans, particularly commercial and home equity loans that have variable or adjustable rates thru various marketing and incentive strategies;

 

    selling additional residential mortgage loan production into the secondary market;

 

    marketing demand deposit account types to continue to increase the portion of these account types to total deposits;

 

    employing back-to-back loan swaps for customers desiring a longer-term fixed rate loan such that the Bank receives a variable rate;

 

    re-mixing a portion of investment securities cash flows into loans;

 

    extending or renewing FHLB term borrowings as necessary to balance asset/liability mismatches;

 

    using the CDARS® and ICS® deposit programs as necessary to manage overall liability mix, and

 

    managing the overall size of the balance sheet to remain under $10 billion in total assets into 2018 to delay the implementation of certain costs and regulations associated with the Dodd-Frank Act.

As an alternative to the immediate rate shock analysis, the ALCO monitors interest rate risk by ramping or increasing interest rates 200 basis points gradually over a twelve-month period. WesBanco’s current policy limits this exposure to a change of minus 10% in net interest income from the base model for a twelve-month period and for an extended two year rate ramp of 400 basis points. Management believes that the ramping analysis reflects a more realistic movement of interest rates, whereas the immediate rate shock reflects a less likely scenario. The simulation model at June 30, 2017 using the 200 basis point increasing rate ramp analysis, projects that net interest income would increase 3.4% over the next twelve months, compared to a 3.2% increase at December 31, 2016. For the first twelve months of a 400 basis point rate ramp over two years, the increase in net interest income would be 3.8% in year one as compared to the base, and 12.1% in year two when compared to year two’s base. In addition, management utilizes a most likely forecast scenario to forecast net interest income over a rolling two year time frame. This forecast is updated and reviewed quarterly, incorporating current budget or re-forecast assumptions into the model such as estimated loan and deposit growth, asset and liability re-mixing, competitive market rates and spreads for various products, marketing promotions and other assumptions. Such modeling helps to predict changes in forecasted outcomes and necessary adjustments to the plan to achieve management’s earnings goals.

WesBanco also periodically measures the economic value of equity, which is defined as the market value of tangible equity in various rate scenarios. At June 30, 2017, the market value of tangible equity as a percent of base in a 200 basis point rising rate environment indicates an increase of 2.9%, compared to an increase of 6.7% at December 31, 2016. In a 100 basis point falling rate environment, the model indicates a decrease of 8.2%, compared to a decrease of 9.8% as of December 31, 2016. WesBanco’s policy is to limit such change to minus 10% for a 100 basis point change in interest rates, minus 20% for a 200 basis point change in interest rates, minus 30% for a 300 basis point rate change in interest rates, and minus 40% for a 400 basis point rate change in interest rates. Changes to various assets and liabilities, as well as certain changes to loan prepayment speeds and decay rates associated with non-maturity deposits, caused the change in market value of tangible equity as compared to year-end.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES— WesBanco’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have concluded that WesBanco’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by WesBanco in the reports it files 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 WesBanco’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS— WesBanco’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that WesBanco’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. While WesBanco’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective, no control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide 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 the Company 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. Additionally, 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—There were no changes in WesBanco’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017 as required to be reported by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, WesBanco’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

WesBanco is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, WesBanco does not believe that a material loss related to such proceedings or claims pending or known to be threatened is reasonably possible.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

As of June 30, 2017, WesBanco had two active one million share stock repurchase plans. The first plan was originally approved by the Board of Directors on March 21, 2007 and the second, which is incremental to the first, was approved October 22, 2015. Each provides for shares to be repurchased for general corporate purposes, which may include a subsequent resource for potential acquisitions, shareholder dividend reinvestment and employee benefit plans. The timing, price and quantity of purchases are at the discretion of WesBanco, and the plan may be discontinued or suspended at any time.
