Forward guidance
First Financial Bancorp is optimistic that their balance sheet is positioned to further benefit from additional rate increases and strong loan activity in the back half of the year. They remain diligent in their credit monitoring and are prepared to manage a downturn in the economy should it occur later in the interest rate cycle.
Tailwinds
- Balance sheet is positioned to further benefit from additional rate increases.
- Loan activity remains strong.
- Earnings improved from the first quarter as our asset sensitive balance sheet was positively impacted by recent rate increases.
- Credit quality was stable with lower net charge-offs and nonaccrual loan balances.
- Total fee income surpassed our expectations due to record foreign exchange income, strong income from limited partnership investments and growing leasing business income.
Headwinds
- Continue to experience headwinds in mortgage banking income due to the rapid rise in interest rates.
- Recent overdraft program changes led to a modest reduction in deposit account service charges and expect further decline due to these program changes in the coming periods.
- Decline in the ICRE portfolio, which was driven by elevated prepayments.
- Potential economic downturn later in the interest rate cycle.
- Mortgage banking income decreased.
