FULTON FINANCIAL ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FULT) (“Fulton” or the “Corporation”) reported net income available to common shareholders of $70 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021.

"Fulton achieved solid financial performance during the first quarter, despite the continuing challenges brought about by COVID-19,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman and CEO of Fulton Financial Corporation. “We experienced record earnings per share, our mortgage business remained strong, our wealth management business grew to record highs, and asset quality remained stable. The balance sheet restructuring we announced in March had minimal net impact on our earnings in the first quarter, but it will meaningfully enhance our net interest income beginning in the second quarter and going forward.”

Net Interest Income and Balance Sheet

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 was $164 million, $3 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2020. Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2021 increased 4 basis points, to 2.79%, from 2.75% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increases in net interest income and net interest margin in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2020 were primarily due to the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans and the recognition of related fee income as well as growth in average investment securities and other earning assets during the quarter.

Total average assets for the first quarter of 2021 were $26.1 billion, an increase of $333 million from the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by growth in other interest-earning assets and investment securities. Average loans, net of unearned income, were $19.0 billion, relatively unchanged compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Average loans included loans originated under the PPP. Average PPP loans were $1.7 billion for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $1.8 billion for the fourth quarter of 2020. First quarter loan balances were impacted by the net effect of $579 million of PPP loans forgiven and $685 million of new loans originated under the third phase of the PPP in the first quarter of 2021 .

Average loans and yields, by type, for the first quarter of 2021 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2020 are summarized in the following table:

Asset Quality

In the first quarter of 2021 a reversal of provision of credit losses of $6 million was recognized, as compared to provisions for credit losses of $6 million, and $44 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2020, respectively. Several factors as of the end of the first quarter of 2021 in comparison to the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, including improved economic forecasts and a decrease in specific allocations within the allowance for credit losses for loans evaluated individually, reduced the level of the allowance for credit losses determined to be necessary at the end of the first quarter of 2021, resulting in the negative provision for credit losses.

The $44 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2020 was driven primarily by assessment of the initial estimated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as reflected in economic forecasts as of the end of the first quarter of 2020, on the level of expected credit losses.

Non-performing assets were $156 million, or 0.60% of total assets, at March 31, 2021, compared to $151 million, or 0.58% of total assets, and $147 million, or 0.64% of total assets at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were 0.13% of total average loans, compared to annualized net recoveries of 0.07% and annualized net charge-offs of 0.26% for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income in the first quarter of 2021, excluding investment securities gains, was $62 million, an increase of $6 million, or 11%, from the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily driven by increases of $5 million in mortgage banking income and $2 million in wealth management fees. The increase in mortgage banking income was due to a $6 million reversal of the valuation allowance for mortgage servicing assets.

Compared to the first quarter of 2020, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, in the first quarter of 2021 increased $7 million, or 13%, from $55 million, primarily driven by an $8 million increase in mortgage banking income, resulting from a combination of higher mortgage sales gains and a $6 million reversal of the mortgage servicing valuation allowance, both due to lower mortgage interest rates.

In the first quarter of 2021, Fulton completed a balance sheet restructuring involving gains on sales of Visa, Inc. Class B restricted shares of $34 million, which were offset in non-interest expense by corresponding debt extinguishment costs of $32 million, other securities losses of $0.4 million and a write-off of $1 million recognized in net interest income in connection with the purchase of certain of the Corporation's outstanding senior and subordinated notes and the prepayment of certain term Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $178 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $24 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, which was driven by costs recognized during the first quarter of 2021 associated with the aforementioned balance sheet restructuring. In the fourth quarter of 2020, $15 million of charges, reflected in salaries and employee benefits and other expense, were recognized in connection with the cost saving initiatives announced in October 2020.

Compared to the first quarter of 2020, non-interest expense increased $36 million, or 25% in the first quarter of 2021, due primarily to costs associated with the previously mentioned balance sheet restructuring. Other increases were recognized in salaries and employee benefits and data processing and software, partially offset by lower professional fees.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate (ETR) for the first quarter of 2021 was 16%, as compared to 10% for both the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2020. The increase was a result of higher income before income taxes.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

in thousands, except per share data and percentages

Explanatory note:

This press release contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, which has been derived by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Corporation has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure follow:
