Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

    On October 20, 2020, Fulton Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") issued a press release (the "Press Release") announcing its results of operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. A copy of the Press Release and supplementary financial information which accompanied the Press Release, are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and are incorporated herein by reference. The Corporation also posted on its Investor Relations website, www.fult.com, presentation materials the Corporation intends to use during a conference call and webcast to discuss those results on Wednesday, October 21, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. A copy of the presentation materials is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.    

The information in the preceding paragraph, as well as Exhibit 99.2 referenced therein, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The information included in Exhibit 99.1 shall be considered "filed" for purposes of the Exchange Act and therefore may be incorporated by reference in filings under the Securities Act.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On October 1, 2020, the Corporation reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K that its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Fulton Bank, National Association (the "Bank"), as part of the Bank's ongoing strategic optimization of its network of financial centers to adapt to the evolving needs and expectations of its customers, would be closing 21 financial center offices and consolidating the operations of those offices into nearby financial centers operated by the Bank. In connection with the financial center closures, the Corporation reported that it expects to incur pre-tax costs of approximately $11.5 million, consisting of $6.5 million of write-offs of premises and equipment, $4 million of lease termination charges and $1 million of future cash expenditures in connection with employee severance, and that these costs are expected to be recognized in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, and the first quarter of 2021. The Corporation also reported that it expects that the closure of these financial centers will reduce annual pre-tax operating expense by approximately $7 million, beginning in the first quarter of 2021.

The financial center optimization effort is part of a much larger company-wide strategic operating expense review that was prompted by the prolonged and continuing effects of COVID-19, and the expectation that interest rates will remain very low for the next several years. It is also a recognition of the need to accelerate the timetable for certain technology and digital investments that were in progress.

The strategic operating expense review involves a number of changes that are expected to result in annual expense savings of $25 million in operating cost, inclusive of the previously reported financial center consolidation savings. The expense review involves the elimination of positions and expense reductions in a number of other areas across the enterprise. Of the expected $25 million in annual expense savings, the Corporation
expects to reinvest a portion to accelerate digital transformation initiatives.

It is expected that the savings will not be fully realized until mid-2021. In addition, it is expected that a pre-tax charge within the range of $17 to $19 million will be realized for this initiative for employee severance, fixed asset write-offs and lease termination charges, among others. Of this charge, $16 to $17 million is expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2020, with the remaining charges of up to approximately $1 million pre-tax being recognized in the first quarter of 2021.

The information in this Item 8.01 is deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and, therefore, may be incorporated by reference in filings under the Securities Act.

Fulton Financial Announces Third Quarter Earnings

(October 20, 2020) – Lancaster, PA – Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:FULT) (“Fulton” or the “Corporation”) reported net income of $62 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020.

“While it is still too early to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 on our regional economy, we were pleased that our third quarter produced stronger results than we had initially predicted in both our commercial and consumer lines of business,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman and CEO. “In particular, our mortgage business achieved record growth in the third quarter, coming on the heels of a record second quarter. Loan growth, fee income and credit quality also exceeded our expectations. And after a strategic, company-wide review, we are taking steps to significantly reduce our annual operating expenses for the future, with the goal of prudently managing the company for the longer term.”

Net Interest Income and Balance Sheet

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $154 million, consistent with the second quarter of 2020. Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2020 decreased 11 basis points, to 2.70%, from 2.81% in the second quarter of 2020.
Total average assets for the third quarter of 2020 were $25.2 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion from the second quarter of 2020. Average loans, net of unearned income, of $18.9 billion increased $0.5 billion from the second quarter of 2020. The increase was principally due to loans originated under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") during the second quarter, which had an outstanding balance of $2.0 billion as of September 30, 2020.













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

Asset Quality

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2020 was $7 million, which reflects current expected credit losses based on forecasted economic and other assumptions, including the estimated impacts of COVID-19, over the remaining expected lives of financial assets and off-balance-sheet credit exposures.
Non-performing assets were $147 million, or 0.57% of total assets, at September 30, 2020, representing a decrease, when expressed as a percentage of total assets from June 30, 2020.    
Annualized net recoveries for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 were 0.05% of total average loans, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.09% and 0.15% for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The third quarter of 2020 annualized net recoveries were primarily due to $5 million in real estate construction recoveries.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income in the third quarter of 2020, excluding investment securities gains, was $63 million, an increase of $10 million, or 20%, from the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by an increase of $7 million in mortgage banking income, although increases in nearly all non-interest income categories were experienced in the third quarter of 2020 in comparison to the second quarter of 2020.
In the third quarter of 2020, a $1.5 million impairment of mortgage servicing assets was recognized, as compared to a $6.6 million impairment in the second quarter of 2020. This impairment charge is recorded as a reduction to mortgage banking income.
Compared to the third quarter of 2019, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $8 million, or 14%, in the third quarter of 2020 due mainly to increases in mortgage banking income. There was no mortgage servicing asset impairment charge in the third quarter of 2019.
Net investment securities gains declined by $3 million in the third quarter of 2020 in comparison to the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter of 2020 included net securities gains of $3 million related to a limited balance sheet restructuring that also involved the redemption of FHLB advances that resulted in $3 million of prepayment penalties recorded in non-interest expense in the same period.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $139 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $4 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter of 2020 included a $3 million prepayment penalty on redemption of FHLB advances.
Compared to the third quarter of 2019, non-interest expense decreased $8 million, or 5%, due primarily to decreases in other outside services, FHLB prepayment penalties, marketing and intangible amortization, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits and FDIC insurance. FDIC insurance expense was reduced in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of the receipt of $3 million of assessment credits.
As a result of a recent strategic operating expense review, the Corporation is making a number of changes that are expected to result in annual expense savings of $25 million, inclusive of the previously



reported financial center closure savings. Of the expected $25 million in annual expense savings, the Corporation expects to reinvest a portion to accelerate digital transformation initiatives.
It is expected that the savings will not be fully realized until mid-2021. In addition, it is expected that a pre-tax charge within the range of $17 to $19 million will be realized for this initiative for employee severance, fixed asset write-offs and lease termination charges, among others. Of this charge, $16 to $17 million is expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2020, with the remaining charges of up to approximately $1 million pre-tax being recognized in the first quarter of 2021.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was 13%, as compared to 14% for both the second quarter of 2020 and third quarter of 2019.

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:

2020 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS NASDAQ: FULT Data as of September 30, 2020 unless otherwise noted


 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation may contain forward-looking statements with respect to the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations and business. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "should," "will," "could," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "future," "intends," “projects,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements may include projections of, or guidance on, the Corporation’s future financial performance, expected levels of future expenses, including future credit losses, anticipated growth strategies, descriptions of new business initiatives and anticipated trends in the Corporation’s business or financial results. Management’s Q4 2020 Outlook contained herein is comprised of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts, nor assurance of future performance. Instead, they are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the Corporation’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Corporation’s control, and actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not unduly rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date when made. The Corporation undertakes no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A discussion of certain risks and uncertainties affecting the Corporation, and some of the factors that could cause the Corporation’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, can be found in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters end March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and other current and periodic reports, which have been, or will be, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are or will be available in the Investor Relations section of the Corporation’s website (www.fult.com) and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).
