Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FULT) reported net income of $38.1 million, or 19 cents per diluted share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to $36.1 million, or 18 cents per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011.
"Our first quarter performance gives us a strong start for the year," said R. Scott Smith, Jr., Chairman and CEO. "We saw improvement in our return on average assets, net interest margin, non-interest income and in asset quality. We were encouraged to again see a reduction in the provision for loan losses. Residential mortgage refinancing activity was particularly strong throughout the quarter and contributed significantly to our growth in non-interest income. Funding costs continued to decrease this quarter, helping us to expand our net interest margin. We are well positioned to respond to increased credit demand from businesses and consumers as overall confidence improves."
Asset Quality
Non-performing assets were $317.5 million, or 1.92 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2012, compared to $317.3 million, or 1.94 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2011 and $355.1 million, or 2.22 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2011.
Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were 0.94 percent of average total loans, compared to 1.36 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 90.9 percent at March 31, 2012 in comparison to 90.1 percent at December 31, 2011.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2012 increased $236,000, or 0.2 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2011. Net interest margin increased 4 basis points, or 1.0 percent, from 3.81 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, to 3.85 percent in the first quarter of 2012. The slight improvement in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest-earning assets and a decrease in funding costs, as well as a decrease in premium amortization on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, partially offset by the effect of one less day in the first quarter of 2012.
Average Balance Sheet
Total average assets for the first quarter of 2012 were $16.2 billion, an increase of $23.5 million, or 0.1 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2011.
Average loans, net of unearned income, increased $52.7 million, or 0.4 percent, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2011.

=========== =========== ========= ========
The decrease in average deposits in the first quarter of 2012 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2011 was a result of a $132.4 million decrease in time deposits and an $87.6 million decrease in demand and saving accounts. The decrease in average demand and savings accounts occurred mainly in municipal accounts.
Non-interest Income
Other income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $5.1 million, or 11.3 percent, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2011. Mortgage banking income increased $3.8 million, or 61.6 percent, due to an increase in pricing spreads and an increase in the volume of new loan commitments. Also contributing to the increase in other income was a $650,000, or 7.4 percent, increase in investment management and trust services revenue and $1.5 million of gains on sales of fixed assets.
Investment securities gains for the first quarter of 2012 were $1.3 million, compared to $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, the Corporation realized $165,000 and $1.1 million of gains on sales of debt and equity securities, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Corporation realized $3.1 million and $640,000 of gains on sales of debt and equity securities, respectively, partially offset by $636,000 of other-than-temporary impairment charges for stocks of financial institutions.
Non-interest Expense
Other expenses increased $1.9 million, or 1.7 percent, in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Salaries and employee benefits increased $2.3 million, or 3.9 percent, driven by a seasonal increase in payroll taxes and increased healthcare costs. Also contributing to the increase in other expenses was $2.6 million of contingent losses, recorded as a component of operating risk loss, associated with previously sold residential mortgages. Offsetting these increases was the effect of $1.8 million of expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2011 related to the merger of the Corporation's New Jersey banks.
