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, 2017.

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 2017 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. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on WesBanco’s net income and stockholders’ equity. 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 August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract.” This ASU specifically aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. The ASU does not affect the accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. WesBanco is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2018-15 on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” This ASU modifies ASC 715-20 to improve disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. WesBanco is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2018-14 on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU modifies the disclosure objective paragraphs of ASC 820 to eliminate (1) “at a minimum” from the phrase “an entity shall disclose at a minimum” and (2) other similar “open ended” disclosure requirements to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion of entities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. WesBanco is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2018-13 on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The new guidance will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. WesBanco is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-12 on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 that changes how an employer presents the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement for an employer-sponsored defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. 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 was effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, WesBanco reclassified 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $0.7 and $2.1 million, respectively.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 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 was effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this pronouncement did not 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 was effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The amendments in this update were to 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 did not have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 was effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 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 has completed an initial data gap assessment, is currently finalizing the loan segmentation procedures and evaluating the various forecasting and modeling assumptions that will be used to estimate the initial current expected credit loss allowance.

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. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, which allows entities the option to apply the provisions of the new lease guidance at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, which provides narrow-scope improvements to the lease standard. While we are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement, we expect the primary impact to our consolidated financial position upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under non-cancellable operating leases on our Consolidated Balance Sheets resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations, which are expected to total approximately $15 million to $20 million. The estimate could change based on new leases entered into or amended before January 1, 2019.

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. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, which clarifies certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01. WesBanco adopted these pronouncements as of January 1, 2018 and recognized a $1.1 million adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of this pronouncement. In addition, WesBanco reclassified investment securities on the Consolidated Financial Statements into the following – equity securities, available-for-sale debt securities and held-to-maturity debt securities.

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. 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. WesBanco adopted these pronouncements as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. WesBanco noted no material change to the timing of revenue recognition and there was no material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 9, “Revenue Recognition” for further discussion on revenue within the scope of ASC 606.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

First Sentry Bancshares, Inc. (“FTSB”)

On April 5, 2018, WesBanco completed its acquisition of FTSB, a bank holding company headquartered in Huntington, WV. On the acquisition date, FTSB had approximately $705.6 million in assets, excluding goodwill, which included approximately $448.1 million in loans and $142.9 million in securities. The FTSB acquisition was valued at $108.3 million, based on WesBanco’s closing stock price on April 5, 2018, of $42.96, and resulted in WesBanco issuing 2,498,761 shares of its common stock and $1.0 million in cash in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of FTSB common stock including stock options. The assets and liabilities of FTSB were recorded on WesBanco’s Balance Sheet at their preliminary estimated fair values as of April 5, 2018, the acquisition date, and FTSB’s results of operations have been included in WesBanco’s Consolidated Statements of Income since that date. The fair values for certain assets and liabilities acquired from FTSB on April 5, 2018 represent preliminary estimates. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, WesBanco recorded $66.8 million in goodwill and $8.1 million in core deposit intangibles in its Community Banking segment. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes, as the acquisition is accounted for as a tax-free exchange for tax purposes. As a result of the full integration of the operations of FTSB, it is not practicable to determine revenue or net income included in WesBanco’s operating results relating to FTSB since the date of acquisition, as FTSB’s results cannot be separately identified.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, WesBanco recorded merger-related expenses of $5.5 million associated with the FTSB acquisition.

The preliminary purchase price of the FTSB acquisition and resulting goodwill is summarized as follows:

Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (“FFKT”)

On August 20, 2018, WesBanco completed its acquisition of FFKT, a bank holding company headquartered in Frankfort, KY. On the acquisition date, FFKT had approximately $1.6 billion in assets, excluding goodwill, which included approximately $1.0 billion in loans and $239.3 million in securities. The FFKT acquisition was valued at $428.9 million, based on WesBanco’s closing stock price on August 20, 2018, of $49.40, and resulted in WesBanco issuing 7,920,387 shares of its common stock and $37.6 million in cash in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of FFKT common stock. The assets and liabilities of FFKT were recorded on WesBanco’s Balance Sheet at their preliminary estimated fair values as of August 20, 2018, the acquisition date, and FFKT’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 FFKT on August 20, 2018 represent preliminary estimates. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, WesBanco recorded $225.1 million in goodwill and $39.7 million in core deposit intangibles in its community banking segment and $2.9 million in trust customer relationship intangibles in its trust and investment services segment. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes, as the acquisition is accounted for as a tax-free exchange for tax purposes. As a result of the full integration of the operations of FFKT, it is not practicable to determine revenue or net income included in WesBanco’s operating results relating to FFKT since the date of acquisition, as FFKT’s results cannot be separately identified.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, WesBanco recorded merger-related expenses of $11.0 million associated with the FFKT acquisition.

All options to purchase shares were included in the computation of net income per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2018 while 117,550 shares were not included in the computation of net income per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2017 because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. Options to purchase 117,600 shares at September 30, 2018 were not included in the computation of net income per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2018, contingently issuable shares totaling 45,840, were estimated to be awarded under the 2018 and 2017 total shareholder return plans as stock performance targets have been met to date and are included in the diluted calculation. As of September 30, 2018, the shares related to the 2016 total shareholder return plan were not included in the calculation because the effect would be antidilutive. Performance-based restricted stock compensation totaling 17,081 shares were estimated to be awarded as of September 30, 2018 and are included in the diluted calculation for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2017, the shares related to the 2017 and 2016 total shareholder return plan were not included in the calculation because the effect would be antidilutive. Performance-based restricted stock compensation totaling 4,502 shares were estimated to be awarded as of September 30, 2017, and are included in the diluted calculation for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

On April 5, 2018, WesBanco issued 2,498,761 shares of common stock to complete its acquisition of FTSB and granted 9,465 shares of restricted stock to certain FTSB employees.

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 $53.8 million and $45.9 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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.

Commercial loans greater than $1 million that are reported as non-accrual or as a 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.

Commercial and industrial loans consist of revolving lines of credit to finance accounts receivable, inventory and other general business purposes; term loans to finance fixed assets other than real estate, and letters of credit to support trade, insurance or governmental requirements for a variety of businesses. Most C&I borrowers are privately-held companies with annual sales up to $100 million. 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.

Table of Contents

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.

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 was $20.6 million at September 30, 2018 and $22.8 million at December 31, 2017, of which $2.2 million and $2.5 million were accruing, for each period, respectively. The aggregate amount of residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans classified as substandard are not included in the tables above.

Acquired FFKT Loans – In conjunction with the FFKT acquisition, WesBanco acquired loans with a book value of $1,064.8 million as of August 20, 2018. These loans were recorded at the preliminary fair value of $1,028.1 million, with $1,016.9 million categorized as ASC 310-20 loans. The fair market value adjustment on these loans of $26.4 million at the acquisition date is expected to be recognized into interest income on a level yield basis over the remaining expected life of the loans.

Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality with a book value of $2.7 million were recorded at the preliminary fair value of $2.4 million, of which all were accounted for under the cost recovery method in accordance with ASC 310-30 as cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated, and categorized as non-accrual.

The carrying amount of loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at September 30, 2018 was $2.1 million, while the outstanding customer balance was $2.4 million. At September 30, 2018 no allowance for loan losses has been recognized related to the acquired impaired loans.

Certain acquired underperforming loans with a book value of $45.2 million were transferred to loans held for sale prior to September 30, 2018 at the preliminary fair value of $35.2 million.

Acquired FTSB Loans – In conjunction with the FTSB acquisition, WesBanco acquired loans with a book value of $465.9 million as of April 5, 2018. These loans were recorded at the preliminary fair value of $448.1 million, with $440.1 million categorized as ASC 310-20 loans. The fair market value adjustment on these loans of $9.7 million at acquisition date is expected to be recognized into interest income on a level yield basis over the remaining expected life of the loans.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 months. WesBanco had unfunded commitments to debtors whose loans were classified as impaired of $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The following tables present details related to loans identified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively:

NOTE 6. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

WesBanco is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. WesBanco principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. WesBanco manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities. WesBanco’s existing interest rate derivatives result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in WesBanco’s assets or liabilities. WesBanco manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. A matched book is when the Bank’s assets and liabilities are equally distributed but also have similar maturities.

Loan Swaps

WesBanco executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously economically hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that WesBanco executes with a third party, such that WesBanco minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting third-party swaps are recognized directly in earnings. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, WesBanco had 42 and 39, respectively, interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $234.4 million and $298.2 million, respectively, related to this program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, WesBanco recognized net losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the changes in fair value of these swaps. Additionally, WesBanco recognized $1.4 million and $1.2 million of income for the related swap fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale and Loan Commitments

Certain residential mortgage loans are originated for sale in the secondary mortgage loan market. These loans are classified as held for sale and carried at fair value as WesBanco has elected the fair value option. Fair value is determined based on rates obtained from the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. WesBanco sells loans to the secondary market on a mandatory or best efforts basis. The loans sold on a mandatory basis are not committed to an investor until the loan is closed with the borrower. WesBanco enters into forward TBA contracts to manage the interest rate risk between the loan commitment and the closing of the loan. The loans sold on a best efforts basis are committed to an investor simultaneous to the interest rate commitment with the borrower.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments on the Balance Sheet

All derivatives are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivative assets are classified in the consolidated balance sheet under other assets, and derivative liabilities are classified in the consolidated balance sheet under other liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. None of WesBanco’s derivatives are designated in qualifying hedging relationships under ASC 815.

The table below presents the fair value of WesBanco’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

WesBanco has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if WesBanco defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then WesBanco could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

WesBanco also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if WesBanco fails to maintain its status as either a well or adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and WesBanco would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

WesBanco has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral with a market value of $3.7 million as of September 30, 2018. If WesBanco had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2018, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value and would have been required to pay any additional amounts due in excess of amounts previously posted as collateral with the respective counterparty.

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 $5.1 million is due for 2018, which could be all or partially offset by the Plan’s $56.9 million available credit balance. WesBanco made a voluntary contribution of $2.5 million to the Plan in June 2018.

WesBanco assumed YCB’s obligation for a predecessor bank’s participation in a defined benefit plan. The net periodic pension income for this plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which was comprised of a $0.2 million and a $0.5 million expected return on plan assets and net actuarial gain, partially offset by a $0.1 million and a $0.3 million interest cost on projected benefit obligation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

No minimum contribution is due for this plan for fiscal year 2018; however, WesBanco made a voluntary contribution of $0.2 million to this plan in June 2018.

WesBanco assumed FFKT’s postretirement medical benefit plan, which had a liability totaling $15.0 million at the acquisition date. The plan covers FFKT employees who were hired before January 1, 2016 and meet certain age and length of full-time service requirements. The plan was modified in August 2018, which reduced the number of eligible employees. The modification resulted in a $5.5 million unrealized gain, which was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income net of tax and will be recognized over the life of the plan participants estimated to be approximately 17 years. The modification reduced the plan liability to $9.5 million as of September 30, 2018.

NOTE 8. 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. 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 economically 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 enters into forward TBA contracts to manage the interest rate risk between the loan commitments to the customer and the closing of the loan for loans that will be sold on a mandatory basis to secondary market investors. The forward TBA contract 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’s earnings as mortgage banking income.

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.

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 fair value as WesBanco has elected the fair value option as of October 1, 2017. 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.

Table of Contents

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.

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

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. REVENUE RECOGNITION

WesBanco adopted ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective approach and there was no material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial statements. Interest income, net securities (losses) gains and bank-owned life insurance are not in scope of ASC 606. For the revenue streams in scope of ASC 606, including trust fees, service charges on deposits, electronic banking fees, allotment fees, net securities brokerage revenue, mortgage banking income and net gain or loss on sale of other real estate owned, there are no significant judgements related to the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

Trust fees: Fees are earned over a period of time between monthly and annually, per the related fee schedule. The fees are earned ratably over the period for investment, safekeeping and other services performed by WesBanco. The fees are accrued when earned based on the daily asset value on the last day of the quarter. In most cases, the fees are directly debited from the customer account.

Service charges on deposits: There are monthly service charges for both commercial and personal banking customers, which are earned over the month per the related fee schedule based on the customers’ deposits. There are also transaction-based fees, which are earned based on specific transactions or customer activity within the customers’ deposit accounts. These are earned at the time the transaction or customer activity occurs. The fees are debited from the customer account.

Allotment fees: Allotment fees are processing fees earned from the bill payment and electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) services provided under the name FirstNet. The fees are derived from both the individual consumer banking transactions and from businesses or service providers through monthly billing for total transactions occurring. These fees are earned at the time the transaction or customer activity occurs. The fees are debited from the customers’ and the business’s deposit accounts.

Electronic banking fees: Interchange and ATM fees are earned based on customer and ATM transactions. Revenue is recognized when the transaction is settled.

Net securities brokerage revenue: Commission income is earned based on customer transactions and management of investments. The commission income from customers’ transactions is recognized when the transaction is complete. The commission income from the management of investments is earned continuously over a quarterly period.

Mortgage banking income: Income is earned when WesBanco-originated loans are sold to an investor on the secondary market. The investor bids on the loans. If the price is accepted, WesBanco delivers the loan documents to the investor. Once received and approved by the investor, revenue is recognized and the loans are derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Prior to the loans being sold, they are classified as loans held for sale. Additionally, the changes in the fair value of the loans held for sale, loan commitments and related derivatives are included in mortgage banking income.

Net gain or loss on sale of other real estate owned: Net gain or loss is recorded when other real estate is sold to a third party and the Bank collects substantially all of the consideration to which WesBanco is entitled in exchange for the transfer of the property.

NOTE 11. 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 $0.7 million and $0.6 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Contingent obligations and other guarantees include affordable housing plan guarantees, credit card guarantees and obligations under the FHLB’s loan purchasing program. 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. The mortgages sold to FHLB obligate WesBanco to reimburse the FHLB for a portion of any loan balances that default.

The following table presents total commitments to extend credit, guarantees and various letters of credit outstanding:

Contingent Liabilities — WesBanco is a party to various legal and administrative proceedings and claims. 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 12. 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 $4.7 billion and $3.9 billion at September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 209 branches and 202 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 April 5, 2018, WesBanco completed its acquisition of FTSB, a bank holding company headquartered in Huntington, WV with approximately $705.6 million in assets, excluding goodwill, $590.1 million in deposits and $448.1 million in loans. FTSB’s results were included in WesBanco’s results from the date of the merger consummation.

On August 20, 2018, WesBanco completed its acquisition of FFKT, a bank holding company headquartered in Frankfort, KY with approximately $1,633.7 million in assets, excluding goodwill, $1,330.3 million in deposits and $1,028.1 million in loans. FFKT’s results were included in WesBanco’s results from the date of the 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 September 30, 2018 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in WesBanco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 within the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

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 $15.7 million or 21.1% during the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the same quarter of 2017 due to an 18.1% increase in average total earning assets, primarily driven by the acquisitions of FTSB and FFKT as well as the related accretion from purchase accounting. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net interest income increased $28.4 million or 13.1% due to higher average total earning assets from a larger investment portfolio and the earning assets acquired from FTSB and FFKT. Accretion from acquisitions benefited the third quarter of 2018 net interest margin by approximately 11 basis points, as compared to 12 basis points for the same quarter of 2017.

The provision for credit losses decreased to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2017, due to continued strength in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. Annualized net loan charge-offs (recoveries), as a percentage of average portfolio loans, decreased from 0.12% as of September 30, 2017 to net recoveries of (0.02)% as of September 30, 2018.

For the third quarter of 2018, non-interest income increased $5.3 million or 25.5% compared to the third quarter of 2017 due to the acquisitions of FTSB on April 5, 2018 and FFKT on August 20, 2018. The increase is driven by a $1.3 million increase in electronic banking fees, a $1.0 million increase in services charges on deposits, a $0.9 million increase in trust fees and a $1.0 million increase in other income compared to the third quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, non-interest income increased $7.8 million or 11.8% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, again driven by the acquisitions of FTSB and FFKT.

Non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2018 increased by $20.4 million or 36.5% compared to the same quarter in 2017 primarily due to the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions. For the third quarter, restructuring and merger-related expenses increased $10.8 million and salaries and wages increased $5.4 million, coupled with increases in various other expense categories. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, restructuring and merger-related expenses increased $16.0 million and salaries and wages increased $10.6 million, which were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in employee benefits. Excluding merger-related expenses, non-interest expense increased $9.6 million or 17.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 and increased $12.2 million or 7.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.

The effective income tax rate and associated provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2018 are reflective of the recently enacted “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, which lowered the statutory Federal income tax rate for corporations to 21%. During the third quarter, the effective tax rate was 16.71% as compared to 28.54% last year, while the provision for income taxes decreased $4.0 million to $6.5 million, despite higher year-over-year pre-tax income.

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 of, 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 $15.7 million or 21.1% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 2017, due to an 18.1% increase in average earning asset balances, primarily driven by the acquisitions of FTSB and FFKT and related accretion from purchase accounting. For the first nine months of 2018, net interest income increased $28.4 million or 13.1% over the same 2017 period for the same reasons along with higher securities balances. Average loan balances increased by 13.0% in the third quarter of 2018 from the acquisitions of FTSB and FFKT compared to the third quarter of 2017, as organic loan growth was slightly down from continued targeted reductions in the consumer portfolio to reduce its risk profile, elevated levels of commercial real estate loans moving to an aggressive secondary financing market and continued deleveraging by commercial customers reflective of the current operating environment. Total average deposits increased in the third quarter of 2018 by $1.2 billion or 16.7% compared to the third quarter of 2017, while certificates of deposit, which have the highest overall interest cost among deposits, increased by only $72.1 million or 5.3% over the same time period. The effect of multiple increases in the Federal Reserve’s target federal funds rate over the past year and higher margins on the acquired FFKT and FTSB assets on the net interest margin were mitigated by lower tax equivalent yields on tax-exempt securities resulting from the decrease in the corporate tax rate to 21% for 2018. Due to this adjustment in tax-equivalency, the net interest margin increased by only 2 basis points to 3.50% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 3.48% in the third quarter of 2017. Yields increased for all earning asset categories in 2018 except for tax-exempt securities. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased by 28 basis points from the third quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2018. The increase in the cost is primarily due to rate increases for larger balance customers in interest bearing demand deposits, which include public funds, and higher rates for certain medium-term Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. Approximately 11 basis points of accretion from the FFKT, FTSB and other prior acquisitions was included in the 2018 third quarter net interest margin compared to 12 basis points in the 2017 third quarter net interest margin.

Interest income increased $22.9 million or 26.8% in the third quarter of 2018 and $46.0 million or 18.6% in the first nine months of 2018 compared to the same periods of 2017 due to higher overall earning assets, particularly from the FFKT and FTSB acquisitions, and higher yields in almost every earning asset category. Earning asset yields were influenced positively in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017 due to four federal funds rate increases occurring during the past twelve months. Average loan balances increased by $831.0 million or 13.0% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017, due to the acquisitions of FFKT and FTSB. Loan yields increased by 39 basis points during this same period to 4.75% from the previously mentioned federal funds rate increases. Loans provide the greatest impact on interest income and the yield on earning assets as they have the largest balance and the highest yield within major earning asset categories. In the third quarter of 2018, average loans represented 69.7% of average earning assets, a decrease from 72.9% in the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to purchases of taxable securities in 2018 exceeding average loan growth. Average taxable securities balances increased by $599.4 million or 37.6% from the third quarter of 2017, consistent with management’s strategy of growing total assets above $10 billion, which occurred during the first quarter of 2018 to improve profitability. Total securities yields decreased by 6 basis points in the third quarter of 2018 from the third quarter of 2017 due to the lower tax-equivalency benefit on tax-exempt securities, resulting from the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, which decreased the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. This lower benefit was offset somewhat by higher market rates on all securities acquired and purchased in 2018. Tax-exempt securities yields decreased 72 basis points in the third quarter of 2018 from the third quarter of 2017 from the lower tax-equivalency benefit; however, this yield decrease only affected the net interest margin and not net interest income, as the tax effect is included in the provision for income taxes. The average balance of tax-exempt securities, which have the highest yields within securities, also decreased to 26.4% of total average securities in 2018 compared to 31.1% in the third quarter of 2017. Taxable securities yields increased by 30 basis points in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2017 due to the previously mentioned purchases at higher current rates.

Total portfolio loans increased $1.4 billion or 21.2% over the last twelve months, while total commercial loans increased $1.1 billion or 25.6%. Loan growth was achieved through $2.1 billion in total loan originations, led by $1.3 billion in business loan originations for the past twelve months. Loan growth was driven by the acquisitions of FTSB and FFKT, expanded market areas and additional commercial personnel in our core markets, partially offset by significant loan paydowns or payoffs as some loans moved into the secondary lending market by customers who refinanced their mortgages, and targeted reductions of the consumer portfolio to reduce the risk profile of the loan portfolio.

Interest expense increased $7.2 million or 64.3% in the third quarter of 2018 and $17.7 million or 58.0% year-to-date compared to the same periods of 2017, due primarily to increases in the balances of interest bearing liabilities from the acquisitions of FFKT and FTSB and increases in the rates paid on all interest bearing liability categories. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased by 28 basis points from the third quarter of 2017 to 0.95% in the third quarter of 2018. Average interest bearing deposits increased by $789.3 million or 15.0% from the third quarter of 2017, due primarily to

the acquisitions of FFKT and FTSB as well as organic deposit growth, which offset a $272.6 million or 19.9% decrease in certificates of deposit, excluding those acquired from FFKT and FTSB. The rate on interest bearing deposits increased by 16 basis points from the third quarter of 2017, primarily from increases in rates on interest bearing public funds. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased from the third quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2018 by $391.5 million or 21.5% and are were 26.8% of total average deposits at September 30, 2018, compared to 25.7% at September 30, 2017, reflecting the acquisitions’ non-interest bearing demand deposits and marketing strategies. Organic average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $109.5 million or 6.0% during this same time period. The increase in non-interest bearing deposits reflect positively in the net interest margin, as the benefit of non-interest bearing liabilities increased by 8 basis points from the third quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2018. Average other borrowings and subordinated debt balances increased by $100.1 million or 28.7% from the third quarter of 2017, due to the acquisitions of FFKT and FTSB, and their average rates paid increased by 57 and 63 basis points, respectively, over this same time period due to increases in LIBOR, the index upon which most of this variable-rate type of borrowing is priced. The average balance of FHLB borrowings increased by $189.8 million from the third quarter of 2017, and their average rate paid increased by 79 basis points to 2.22% over this same time period due to higher interest rates and the replacement of some maturing shorter-term borrowings with those of a medium-term length throughout 2017 and the first nine months of 2018 to improve asset sensitivity and liquidity measures.

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 decreased to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2017 due primarily to the current high quality of the loan portfolio and lower net charge-offs. Overall, most credit ratios continued to improve on a percentage basis, year-over-year. Non-performing loans (including TDRs), and criticized and classified loans improved as a percentage of total portfolio loans from September 30, 2017. Total non-performing loans were 0.49% of total loans at September 30, 2018, decreasing from 0.66% of total loans at the end of the third quarter of 2017. Criticized and classified loans were 1.01% of total loans, improving from 1.24% at September 30, 2017. Past due loans at September 30, 2018 were 0.26% of total loans, compared to 0.35% at September 30, 2017. Annualized net loan charge-offs also decreased from 0.12% at September 30, 2017 to net recoveries of (0.02)% at September 30, 2018. (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 third quarter of 2018, non-interest income increased $5.3 million or 25.5% compared to the third quarter of 2017 due to the acquisitions of FTSB on April 5, 2018 and FFKT on August 20, 2018. The increase is driven by a $1.3 million increase in electronic banking fees, a $1.0 million increase on services charges on deposits, a $0.9 million increase in trust fees and $0.6 million in swap fee and valuation income compared to the third quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, non-interest income increased $7.8 million or 11.8% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Trust fees increased $0.9 million or 16.9% compared to the third quarter of 2017 due to the acquisition of FFKT and organic growth of non-acquired trust assets, along with higher market valuations. Total trust assets have increased $0.8 billion to $4.7 billion as of September 30, 2018 compared to $3.9 billion as of September 30, 2017. WesBanco acquired trust assets of $0.6 billion from FFKT as of August 20, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, trust fees increased $1.4 million or 8.5% as compared to September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2018, trust assets include managed assets of $3.7 billion and non-managed (custodial) assets of $1.0 billion. Assets managed for the WesMark Funds, a proprietary group of mutual funds that is advised by WesBanco Trust and Investment Services, were $963.7 million as of September 30, 2018 and $948.3 million at September 30, 2017 and are included in trust-managed assets.

Service charges on deposits increased $1.0 million or 18.7% compared to the third quarter of 2017 due primarily to the increased customer base from the FTSB and FFKT acquisition. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, service charges on deposits increased $1.0 million or 6.7%. Deposits increased $1.8 billion to $8.9 billion as of September 30, 2018 compared to $7.1 billion as of September 30, 2017.

Electronic banking fees, which include debit card interchange fees, increased $1.3 million or 25.7% compared to the third quarter of 2017 due to an increased customer base from the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions, a higher volume of debit card transactions from WesBanco’s legacy customers and an ATM fee increase for non-WesBanco customers. The volume increase is due to a higher percentage of customers using these products as well as marketing initiatives. Beginning July 1, 2019, WesBanco will experience a reduction of approximately 50% of debit card interchange revenue due to the applicability of the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Act. This reduction is currently estimated to be $2.5 million per quarter.

Bank-owned life insurance income increased $0.1 million or 5.8% compared to the third quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, bank-owned life insurance increased $1.4 million or 39.4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to death benefits received in first quarter of 2018. The total cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance increased $32.5 million to $224.0 million as of September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017 due to the acquisitions of FTSB and FFKT.

Mortgage banking income increased $0.4 million or 37.9% compared to the third quarter of 2017 partially due to increased mortgage production in Kentucky as a result of recent acquisitions, as well as higher organic production from a higher number of employed mortgage originators. Mortgage banking income has also increased due to higher gains on sales of mortgages in the secondary market, as WesBanco is selling these loans primarily on a mandatory basis as compared to previously selling these loans on a best efforts basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, mortgage banking income increased $0.8 million or 22.4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Mortgage production was $133.4 million, which increased 26.4% from the comparable 2017 quarter. Mortgages sold into the secondary market represented $56.5 million or 42.3% of overall mortgage loan production in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $60.3 million or 57.1% in the third quarter of 2017.

Swap fee and valuation income increased $0.6 million or 945.0% compared to the third quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, swap fee and valuation income increased $0.4 million or 49.9% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is due to fees earned when commercial loan customers enter into swap agreements related to the commercial loans.

Non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2018 increased by $20.4 million or 36.5% compared to the same quarter in 2017 primarily due to the FTSB and FFKT acquisition, which closed on April 5, 2018 and August 20, 2018, respectively. Excluding merger-related expenses, non-interest expense increased $9.6 million or 17.1%. For the third quarter, restructuring and merger-related expenses increased $10.8 million and salaries and wages increased $5.4 million, coupled with increases in various other expense categories. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, salaries and wages increased $10.6 million and restructuring and merger-related expenses increased $16.0 million, which were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in employee benefits, due to a reduction in pension expense, as well as decreases in various other non-interest expense categories due to cost savings initiatives from the YCB and FTSB acquisitions as well as WesBanco’s initiative to control discretionary costs.

Salaries and wages increased $5.4 million or 21.5% from the third quarter of 2017 due to increased compensation related to a 23.7% increase in full-time equivalent employees primarily related to the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions. In addition, due to the adoption of a new accounting standard (ASU 2017-07), salaries and wages included $0.7 million related to pension service expense for the third quarter of 2018, which was classified within employee benefits for the third quarter of 2017. The remaining increase is due to routine annual compensation adjustments and stock-based compensation increases. Employee benefits expense increased $0.2 million or 2.3% compared to the third quarter of 2017 due to a $0.6 million increase in health care costs and a $0.3 million increase in payroll tax expense, offset by a $0.7 million reclassification of pension service cost to salaries and wages as well as $0.3 million decrease in other pension costs compared to the third quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, salaries and wages increased 14.9% due to similar reasons in the third quarter analysis, while employee benefits decreased 3.8% as the reclassification of pension service costs exceeded increased healthcare costs and employer payroll taxes.

Net occupancy costs increased $0.8 million or 20.0% compared to the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to the five acquired FTSB branches and the 34 acquired FFKT branches. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net occupancy costs increased $0.7 million or 5.8% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Amortization of intangible assets increased $0.6 million or 48.9% compared to the third quarter of 2017. The FTSB acquisition added approximately $8.1 in core deposit intangibles. The FFKT acquisition added approximately $39.7 million in core deposit intangibles and $2.9 million in trust customer relationship intangibles. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, amortization of intangible assets increased $0.5 million or 12.9% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Restructuring and merger-related expenses in 2018 relate to the FTSB acquisition that closed on April 5, 2018 and the FFKT acquisition that closed on August 20, 2018. The restructuring and merger-related expenses in 2017 relate to the YCB acquisition that closed on September 9, 2016. Of the $16.5 million in restructuring costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, $5.5 million relate to FTSB and $11.0 million relate to FFKT. The FTSB costs included $2.2 million in contract termination and conversion costs, $0.8 million for investment banking services, $0.7 million for change-in-control payments and $0.5 million in employee severance costs. The FFKT costs included $7.4 million for contract termination and conversion costs, $2.3 million for investment banking services and $0.5 million in legal costs.

Franchise and real property taxes increased $0.8 million or 39.8% compared to the third quarter of 2017. The increase is primarily driven by a $0.4 million increase in Kentucky corporate franchise tax due to the FFKT acquisition, which was headquartered in Kentucky. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, franchise and real property taxes increased $1.0 million or 16.4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

ATM and electronic banking interchange expenses increased $0.3 million or 28.5% from the third quarter of 2017 due to the increased customer base from the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions and a higher volume of debit card transactions from WesBanco’s legacy customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, ATM and electronic banking interchange expenses increased $0.6 million or 16.2% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes decreased $4.0 million or 38.1% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017, due to the enacted Federal tax reform legislation that reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Partially offsetting this decrease in income tax expense, third quarter 2018 pre-tax income was 5.7% higher. As a result of these changes, the effective tax rate decreased to 16.7% compared to 28.5% in the third quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the provision for income taxes decreased $9.9 million or 32.3%, compared to the first nine months of 2017, due in part to the decrease in the federal income tax rate, partially offset by a 9.7% increase in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 17.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. WesBanco Bank Community Development Corporation (“WesBanco CDC”) was awarded multi-state New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”) from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (“CDFI Fund”) totaling $40 million of investments, which would provide a federal tax credit of $15.6 million over seven years, after the Bank makes certain Qualified Equity Investments in the WesBanco CDC.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased 28.4%, while deposits and shareholders’ equity increased 26.9% and 38.1%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2017, primarily due to the acquisitions of FTSB and FFKT. Total securities increased by $761.7 million or 33.3% from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018, and was driven by management’s strategy to exceed the $10 billion threshold in total assets during the first quarter of 2018 by purchasing taxable securities in anticipation of the scheduled closing of FTSB. These purchases had an average yield of approximately 3.06%. In addition, the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions provided $142.9 million and $239.3 million of additional securities, respectively. Total portfolio loans increased $1.4 billion or 21.8% with $448.1 million and $1.0 billion from the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions, respectively. Total organic loans decreased 0.7% resulting from continued targeted reductions in the consumer loan portfolio and pay downs of commercial loans outpacing growth. Deposits increased $1.9 billion from year-end, primarily due to the acquisitions of FTSB and FFKT. Organic deposits decreased 0.3% as increases of 6.1% and 3.1% in demand deposits and savings, respectively, were more than offset by decreases of 5.3% and 16.9% in money market deposits and certificates of deposit, respectively. The decrease in certificates of deposit is a result of periodically offering lower than median competitive rates for maturing certificates of deposit, primarily for single service customers, and customer preferences for other deposit types, coupled with a $40.4 million decrease in CDARS® balances. The increase 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 24.5% during the first nine months of 2018 as short-term borrowings increased $109.5 million, new FHLB borrowings exceeded maturities by $127.6 million, with the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions providing an additional $52.3 million and $3.0 million in FHLB borrowings, respectively, and junior subordinated debt increased $25.4 million. The FTSB and FFKT acquisitions provided $9.3 million and $33.5 million in junior subordinated debentures, respectively, which was partially offset by the redemption of $17.5 million in junior subordinated debentures during the first nine months of 2018. Proceeds from borrowings were utilized to purchase investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Total shareholders’ equity increased by approximately $531.9 million or 38.1%, compared to December 31, 2017, primarily due to $107.3 million and $391.3 million of common stock issued in the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions, respectively, and net income exceeding dividends for the period by $57.1 million, which was partially offset by $28.4 million in additional other comprehensive loss. The other comprehensive loss resulted from a $34.2 million unrealized loss in the securities portfolio, which was partially offset by a $5.9 million unrealized gain in the defined benefit pension plan and other postretirement benefits during the period. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP measure) decreased from 8.79% at December 31, 2017 to 8.66% at September 30, 2018 as tangible assets increased at a faster pace than shareholders’ equity, primarily as a result of the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 21% in 2018 and 35% in 2017.

Total investment securities, which are a source of liquidity for WesBanco as well as a contributor to interest income, increased by $761.7 million or 33.3% from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018. Through the first nine months of 2018, the available-for-sale portfolio increased by $746.4 million or 59.1%, while the held-to-maturity portfolio increased by $16.0 million or 1.6%. The increase in the overall portfolio from December 31, 2017 was driven partially by the acquisitions of FTSB and FFKT, and more significantly by management’s strategy to exceed the $10 billion threshold in total assets during the first quarter of 2018 by purchasing mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, with an average yield of approximately 3.06%. The weighted average yield of the portfolio decreased by 6 basis points from 3.01% at December 31, 2017 to 2.95% at September 30, 2018. Though market rates increased in the first nine months of 2018 on all securities purchased, the decrease in the corporate federal tax rate from 35% to 21% reduced the tax-equivalent yield by approximately 67 basis points on the tax-exempt municipal bond portfolio, as the tax benefit was reduced. This decrease in the tax-equivalent yield on tax-exempt municipals more than offset the general market rate increases, as tax-exempt municipals comprise approximately 33% of WesBanco’s investment portfolio. The higher-yielding 2018 purchases helped to mitigate the impact of the tax-equivalent yield reduction on the municipal bonds.

Table of Contents

Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $47.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively. With approximately 34% of the investment portfolio in the held-to- maturity category, the recent increase 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.

Equity securities, of which a portion consist of investments in various mutual funds held in grantor trusts formed in connection with a key officer and director deferred compensation plan, are recorded at fair value. Gains and losses due to fair value fluctuations on equity securities are included in net securities gains or losses. For those equity securities relating to the key officer and director deferred compensation plan, the corresponding change in the obligation to the employee is recognized in employee benefits expense.

WesBanco’s municipal portfolio comprises 33.3% of the overall securities portfolio as of September 30, 2018, which is down from 39.4% as of December 31, 2017 due to the first quarter mortgage-backed and CMO purchases. Municipal bonds carry different risks that are not as prevalent in other security types contained in the portfolio.

WesBanco’s municipal bond portfolio contains obligations in the state of West Virginia totaling $40.4 million or 4.0% of the total municipal 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, 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 thinly traded securities 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 8, “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, including indirect and direct auto and truck 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 currently 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 adjusts 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 inherent loss in the event of default to understand their impact on the Bank’s earnings and capital.

Loans are presented gross of the allowance for loan losses and net of unearned income, credit valuation adjustments, and unamortized net deferred loan fee income and loan origination costs.

Total loans increased $1.42 billion from December 31, 2017 with $1.03 billion from the FFKT acquisition and $448.1 million from the FTSB acquisition while organic portfolio loans decreased $43.1 million or 0.68%. Approximately $12.9 million in underperforming commercial loans from FTSB were sold during the second quarter. During the third quarter of 2018, approximately $107 million of acquired loans were reclassified from the commercial and industrial category to the commercial real estate category due to the classification of the underlying collateral. CRE land and construction provided the most significant organic growth, increasing 3.7% for the year-to-date period. Total organic loan growth over the last twelve months was driven by 10.2% growth in CRE improved property and 2.03% growth in residential real estate. Secondary market loan sales of residential mortgages decreased; however, higher premiums resulted in an increase in the gain on sale of mortgages. In addition, the consumer portfolio declined due to targeted reductions to reduce its overall credit risk, which included certain pricing adjustments for indirect installment loans.

Total loan commitments of $2.4 billion, including loans approved but not closed, increased $542.4 million or 29.1% from December 31, 2017 due primarily to unused lines of credit from the two acquisitions as well as organic commitments. The line utilization percentage for the commercial portfolio was slightly lower at 46.1% as of September 30, 2018 and it was 48.0% as of December 31, 2017.

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.

TDRs on nonaccrual of $2.0 million and $2.9 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, are included in total nonaccrual loans.

Non-performing loans, which consist of non-accrual loans and TDRs, decreased $5.8 million or 13.3%, from December 31, 2017, despite a $0.4 million and $2.1 million increase from FTSB and FFKT, respectively, as cash flows could not be reasonably estimated for a small population of FTSB and FFKT loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality and therefore were accounted for under the cost recovery method. Certain other such loans from FTSB identified in due diligence as underperforming were sold after the acquisition was completed in the second quarter. Non-accrual loans decreased primarily due to the paydown of one large CRE loan in the first quarter. TDRs decreased slightly by $0.2 million due to normal repayments being slightly higher than additions to the category. (Please see the Note 5, “Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses”.)

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets increased $1.6 million from December 31, 2017 primarily due to FTSB and FFKT acquisitions adding $0.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, to the September 30, 2018 other real estate and repossessed asset totals.

Loans past due 30 days or more and accruing interest, excluding non-accruals and TDRs, increased $6.6 million or 47.3% from December 31, 2017, primarily due to the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions which added $4.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. These loans continue to accrue interest because they are both well-secured and in the process of collection. The increase in the 30 to 89 days past due status was primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in the residential real estate category and represented 0.23% of total portfolio loans at September 30, 2018 and 0.18% at December 31, 2017. Loans past due 90 days or more decreased $0.3 million compared to December 31, 2017 and represented 0.03% of total loans at September 30, 2018, compared to 0.04% at December 31, 2017. These 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 of $48.9 million represented 0.63% of total portfolio loans at September 30, 2018 compared to 0.71% as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017. Included in the ratio are acquired FTSB and FFKT loans (recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition of $448.1 million and $1,028.1 million, respectively). No allowance has been recorded on FTSB and FFKT acquired loans as of September 30, 2018.

The allowance for loans individually-evaluated decreased from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018 primarily due to a partial charge-off on one individually-evaluated commercial credit of $0.4 million. The allowance for loans collectively-evaluated increased from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018 by $4.0 million.

The allowance for loan commitments of $0.7 million at September 30, 2018 as compared to $0.6 million at December 31, 2017, 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 and delinquencies. 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 loan categories, 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 at September 30, 2018 were 1.01% of total portfolio loans, improving from 1.24% at September 30, 2017. Criticized and classified loans as a percent of total loans decreased, as overall credit quality continued to improve, enabling certain loans to be upgraded while others have paid down or paid off. Criticized and classified loans increased $3.9 million from December 31, 2017 to $77.8 million at September 30, 2018 due to $7.5 million in acquired FFKT criticized and classified loans offset somewhat by the paydown and/or upgrade of several large CRE loans.

Table 13 summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to each category of the loan portfolio. The increase in the allowance for commercial loans from December 31, 2017 is primarily due to certain judgmental factors leading to a longer look-back period and interest rate variables, while 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 September 30, 2018.

Deposits, which represent WesBanco’s primary source of funds, are offered in various account forms at various rates through WesBanco’s 209 financial centers. The FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000 per account.

Total deposits increased by $1.9 billion or 26.9% during the first nine months of 2018 primarily due to the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions, which provided $1.9 billion of additional deposits, while organic deposits decreased $21.9 million or 0.3% from December 31, 2017. Interest bearing demand and non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 34.6% and 30.6%, respectively, while savings and money market deposits increased 29.9% and 15.0%, respectively, due to the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions. Organic growth of $197.4 million for categories of deposits excluding certificates of deposit were the result of marketing, customer and employee incentives, focused retail and business strategies to obtain more account relationships and customer 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. Money market deposits were influenced through WesBanco’s participation in the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS®) money market deposit program. ICS® reciprocal balances totaled $60.0 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $65.9 million at December 31, 2017.

Certificates of deposit increased $236.5 million primarily due to the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions, which provided $455.8 million in additional certificates of deposit, while organic deposits decreased by 17.2%. The organic deposits decrease was affected by an overall corporate strategy designed to increase and remix retail deposit relationships and reducing single service customers with a focus on overall products that can be offered at a lower cost to WesBanco. The decline was also impacted by lower than competitor offered rates on certain maturing certificates of deposit in a rising rate environment 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. CDARS® balances totaled $64.6 million in outstanding balances at September 30, 2018, of which $33.7 million represented one-way buys, compared to $105.0 million in total outstanding balances at December 31, 2017, of which $72.7 million represented one-way buys. Certificates of deposit greater than $250,000 were approximately $343.5 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $216.4 million at December 31, 2017. Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more were approximately $726.6 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $581.6 million at December 31, 2017. Both categories were influenced by jumbo certificates of deposit inherited from the two acquisitions. Certificates of deposit totaling approximately $885.1 million at September 30, 2018 with a cost of 0.94% 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. From time to time, the Bank may offer special promotions or match competitor rates on certain certificates of deposit maturities and savings products based on competition, sales strategies, liquidity needs and wholesale borrowing costs.

While borrowings are a significant source of funding for WesBanco, they are less significant as compared to total deposits. During the first nine months of 2018, FHLB borrowings increased $183.1 million, as $575.0 million in advances, coupled with $52.3 million and $3.0 million in advances from the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions, respectively, offset $447.4 million in maturities and other principal pay downs. In addition, WesBanco extended the maturities of approximately $320.0 million of maturing FHLB borrowings in the first nine months of 2018 with an average maturing cost of 1.35%, at a current average rate of 2.62% and an average term of 2.2 years. Rates have generally increased over the past year on all borrowing types due to four federal funds rate increases of 25 basis points each and associated LIBOR rate increases.

Other short-term borrowings, which consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase at September 30, 2018, but may also include federal funds purchased and notes payable, were $294.3 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $184.8 million at December 31, 2017. The increase is primarily due to a $134.5 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, including $9.2 million and $35.3 million acquired from FTSB and FFKT, respectively, which was partially offset by the repayments of $25.0 million in federal funds purchased outstanding at December 31, 2017.

Subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt were $189.7 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $164.3 million at December 31, 2017. The increase is primarily due to $9.3 million and $33.5 million in junior subordinated debt acquired from the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions, respectively, which was partially offset by the redemption of $17.5 million in junior subordinated debt during the first nine months of 2018 from the YCB and FTSB acquisitions.

WesBanco renewed a revolving line of credit in September 2018, 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 September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

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 11, “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 increased $531.9 million or 38.1% from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase was due primarily to $107.3 million and $391.3 million of common stock issued in the FTSB and FFKT acquisitions, respectively, coupled with net income during the current nine-month period of $99.2 million, which was partially offset by the declaration of common shareholder dividends totaling $42.1 million and $28.4 million in additional other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The other comprehensive loss was due primarily to an unrealized loss in the securities portfolio, which was partially offset by an unrealized gain in the defined benefit pension plan and other postretirement benefits. WesBanco also increased its quarterly dividend rate to $0.29 per share in February, representing an 11.5% increase over the prior quarterly rate and a cumulative 107% increase since 2010.

WesBanco purchased 14,741 shares during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 under the current share repurchase plans. The shares were repurchased from employees for the payment of withholding taxes to facilitate stock compensation transactions. At September 30, 2018, the remaining shares authorized to be purchased under the current repurchase plans totaled 1,092,556 shares.

On February 22, 2018, WesBanco granted 12,000 Total Shareholder Return Plan (“TSR”) shares for the performance period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2020 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 time-based and vest in three equal annual installments.

On May 16, 2018, WesBanco granted 117,600 stock options to selected officers at an exercise price of $45.65. These options are service-based and vest 50% at December 31, 2018 and 50% at December 31, 2019. On the same date, WesBanco also issued 70,151 shares of time-based restricted stock to selected officers and 8,081 shares of performance-based restricted stock to selected officers. In addition on April 5, 2018, WesBanco issued 9,465 shares of time-based restricted stock to certain former officers of FTSB who became officers of WesBanco upon the FTSB acquisition closing. The time-based restricted shares are service-based and cliff-vest 36 months from the date of grant. On August 20, 2018, WesBanco issued 18,685 shares of time-based restricted stock to certain former officers of FFKT who became officers of WesBanco upon the FFKT acquisition closing. The time-based restricted shares are service-based and cliff-vest 24 months from the date of grant. The performance-based restricted shares have a three-year performance period, beginning January 1, 2019, 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, 2022 after the completion of the three-year performance period and the final 50% vesting on May 16, 2023.

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 September 30, 2018, 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 September 30, 2018, under FDIC regulations, WesBanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, a dividend of approximately $82.5 million from the Bank. WesBanco intends to continue to improve its consolidated and Bank capital ratios as necessary over time, primarily from retaining a majority of its increasing earnings.

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 60.9% at September 30, 2018 and deposit balances funded 71.0% of assets.

The following table lists the sources of liquidity from assets at September 30, 2018 expected within the next year:

Projected prepayments are based on current prepayment speeds.

Deposit flows are another principal factor affecting overall WesBanco liquidity. Deposits totaled $8.9 billion at September 30, 2018. 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 $885.1 million at September 30, 2018, which includes jumbo regular certificates of deposit totaling $408.7 million with a weighted-average cost of 1.38%, and jumbo CDARS® deposits of $39.2 million with a weighted-average cost of 1.32%.

WesBanco maintains a line of credit with the FHLB as an additional funding source. Available credit with the FHLB at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 approximated $2.3 billion and $1.8 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 September 30, 2018, the Bank had unpledged available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost of $413.9 million, representing 20.5% of that portfolio. These securities could be sold for additional liquidity, or could be pledged to secure additional FHLB borrowings. Available liquidity through the sale of investment securities is limited to those that are designated as available-for-sale and are unpledged, due to the pledging agreements that WesBanco has with their public deposit customers. Public deposit balances have increased significantly through the ESB and YCB acquisitions in the past three years. WesBanco’s held-to-maturity portfolio currently contains $683.0 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 move to available-for-sale, and the held-to-maturity designation would not be available to WesBanco for some time.

WesBanco participates in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Borrower-in-Custody Program (“BIC”) whereby WesBanco pledges certain consumer loans as collateral for borrowings. At September 30, 2018, WesBanco had a BIC line of credit totaling $164.5 million, none of which was outstanding. Alternative funding sources may include the utilization of existing overnight lines of credit with third party banks totaling $275.0 million, none of which was outstanding at September 30, 2018, 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.

Other short-term borrowings of $294.3 million at September 30, 2018 consisted of callable repurchase agreements and overnight sweep checking accounts for large commercial customers. There has been an increase of $65.9 million in the average deposit balances of the overnight sweep checking accounts during 2018 from commercial customers seeking higher rates upon cash management balances along with balances from the two acquisitions. 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, $115.9 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 September 30, 2018. 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 September 30, 2018, under FDIC and State of West Virginia regulations, WesBanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, dividends of approximately $82.5 million from the Bank. Management believes these are appropriate levels of cash for WesBanco given current needs for parent company liquidity. 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.

Table of Contents

WesBanco had outstanding commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of business approximating $2.4 billion and $1.8 billion at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. On a historical basis, only a small portion of these commitments will result in an outflow of funds. Please refer to Note 11, “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 September 30, 2018 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 Board and executive management representation, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Management Officer and Senior Treasury Officer. It is responsible for monitoring and managing interest rate risk within Board-approved policy limits. Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of an earnings sensitivity simulation model and an economic value-at-risk model, measuring 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.

The earnings sensitivity 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, changes to deposit product betas, and non-maturity deposit decay rates, which may not necessarily reflect the manner in which actual cash flows, yields, and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Assumptions are based on historical experience, current market rates and economic forecasts, and are periodically back-tested and reviewed by a third-party consultant. The net interest income sensitivity results 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, this analysis does not consider actions that management might employ in response to changes in interest rates as well as 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 immediate and sustained market interest rate increases and decreases of 100 - 400 basis points across the entire yield curve, compared to a stable rate environment or base model. WesBanco’s current policy limits this exposure for the noted interest rate changes to a reduction of between 10% - 20% or less of net interest income from the stable rate base model over a twelve-month period. The table below shows WesBanco’s interest rate sensitivity at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, assuming the above-noted interest rate increases as compared to a base model. In the current lower interest rate environment, particularly for short-term rates, the 300 - 400 basis point decreasing changes are not shown due to the unrealistic nature of results associated with short-term negative rates.

Table of Contents

As per the table above, the earnings sensitivity simulation model at September 30, 2018 currently projects that net interest income for the next twelve-month period would decrease by 2.0% - 5.6% if interest rates were to fall immediately by 100 - 200 basis points, compared to decreases of 3.0% - 8.3% for the same scenarios as of December 31, 2017.

For rising rate scenarios, net interest income would increase by between 1.7% - 5.1% if rates were to increase by between 100 - 400 basis points as of September 30, 2018, compared to increases of between 2.4% - 8.3% in a 100 - 400 basis point increasing rate environment as of December 31, 2017.

In addition the aforementioned parallel rate shock scenarios, management also utilizes a “Most Likely” forecast scenario to project net interest income over a rolling two-year time period. This forecast is updated and reviewed at least quarterly, incorporating revisions and updated assumptions into the model for estimated loan and deposit growth, balance sheet re-mixing strategies, changes in forecasted rates for various maturities, competitive market spreads for various products, and other assumptions. Such modeling helps to predict changes in forecasted outcomes and necessary adjustments to the plan to achieve management’s earnings goals.

The balance sheet shows somewhat lower asset sensitivity as of September 30, 2018, as compared to December 31, 2017, with differences resulting from changes in the mix of, and growth in various earning assets and costing liabilities, as well as adjustments for various modeling assumptions such as deposit beta rates, decay rates for non-maturity deposits and loan prepayment speeds. Generally, deposit betas utilized in the model are currently higher than the Bank’s experience to date thru eight federal funds rate increases since December, 2015, as management seeks to control the overall rate of increase in deposit costs to improve the net interest margin over time. Deposit decay rates and loan prepayment speeds have also been adjusted to reflect more recent experience with the various loan and non-maturity deposit products. Management believes that overall asset sensitivity in non-parallel rising rate scenarios may be somewhat neutralized due to slower prepayment speeds, rate floors, lower than forecasted increases to loan yields, spread compression between new asset yields and funding costs, extension risk associated with residential mortgages and mortgage-related securities, and other earning asset and costing liability differences. Commercial loans with floors currently average 4.27% on approximately $1.5 billion, or 29% of total commercial loans at September 30, 2018, as compared to $1.2 billion or 30% of commercial loans at December 31, 2017. Approximately 41% or $627.5 million of these loans are currently priced at their floor, as compared to 45% or $552.6 million at December 31, 2017. 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.

The net interest margin increased seven basis points from the second quarter, and two basis points from the third quarter of last year, while it is down one basis point for the nine month period as compared to the same period last year. The tax-exempt securities portfolio tax-equivalent rate adjustment from 35% to 21% caused a reduction in the overall net interest margin by six basis points, but with increased short term rates, higher non-interest bearing deposits and low deposit betas, the margin has increased almost back to the same level as last year for the nine month period, and has rebounded for the quarterly comparisons for the same reasons along with the contribution from the higher margin assets from FFKT. Net interest margin expansion in the short run may occur due to a full quarter of the higher margin assets received from FFKT plus higher accretion, particularly for acquired loans, and in the medium term from potential additional federal funds increases, a widening of the shape of the yield curve and controlled deposit betas, in addition to continued execution of our business strategy to grow certain loan categories and remixing higher cost liabilities into lower cost transaction accounts. Net purchase accounting accretion, which was 11 b.p. in the third quarter and 10 b.p. year-to-date, was influenced positively by the two acquisitions in April and August of FTSB and FFKT, and should increase somewhat for the fourth quarter due to the full quarter’s impact of the FFKT accretion, which should positively impact the margin next year as well. Management currently anticipates that one more federal funds rate increase may occur by the end of 2018, consistent with Federal Reserve and consensus economist expectations, with two to three increases of 25 b.p. each expected for 2019. Delays in implementing further rate increases, increases to deposit betas beyond our current modeling assumptions or adjustments to the mix of earning assets and costing liabilities may have a negative impact on management’s estimates of the future direction and level of the net interest margin.

While many Bank customers over the past few years have moved their maturing certificates of deposit balances to lower-costing transaction accounts as well as into non-deposit products, as rates continue to rise, a portion of these lower-cost transaction account balances may migrate to higher-costing certificates of deposit, short-term repos or higher-priced tiers of money market accounts. The continuing runoff of certificate of deposit balances, both organically and from prior acquisitions, including reducing single-service deposit customers through an emphasis on relationship pricing, has been replaced with FHLB and other short-term borrowings. Certificates of deposit totaling approximately $885.1 million mature within the next year at an average cost of 0.94%; replacement borrowings are currently more expensive than the average runoff rate of these CDs. Also, maturing borrowings’ replacement rates are generally higher than the cost of the maturing borrowings’ average rate, and management may elect to lengthen the maturing borrowings’ terms at a higher cost for liquidity and asset liability purposes.

The Bank has significant additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and correspondent banks, and may utilize these funding sources or interest rate swap strategies as necessary to lengthen liabilities, offset mismatches in various asset maturities, and manage liquidity. CDARS® and ICS® deposits also may be used for similar purposes for certain customers seeking higher-yielding instruments or maintaining deposit levels below FDIC insurance limits. Significant balance sheet strategies to assist in managing the net interest margin in the current environment include:

 

   

increasing total loans, particularly commercial and home equity loans that have variable or adjustable features;

 

   

selling a majority of residential mortgage loan production into the secondary market;

 

   

growing demand deposit account types to increase the relative portion of these account types to total deposits;

 

   

employing back-to-back loan swaps for certain commercial loan customers desiring a term fixed rate loan equivalent with the Bank receiving a variable rate;

 

   

extending FHLB short-term maturing borrowings to balance asset/liability mismatches;

 

   

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

 

   

managing the size of the investment portfolio as part of liquidity and balance sheet management strategies.

Table of Contents

WesBanco also periodically measures the economic value of equity, which is defined as the market value of tangible equity in various rate scenarios. At September 30, 2018, the market value of tangible equity as a percent of base in a 200 basis point rising rate environment indicates a decrease of 8.4%, compared to a decrease of 1.8% at December 31, 2017. In a 200 basis point falling rate environment at September 30, 2018, the model indicates an increase of 3.7%, compared to a decrease of 9.9% as of December 31, 2017. WesBanco’s policy is to limit such change to minus 10% increments for each 100 basis point change in interest rates. Generally, changes in the economic value of equity relate to changes in various assets and liabilities, as well as changes in loan prepayment speeds and deposit decay rates.

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 September 30, 2018 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 September 30, 2018, 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.
