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 Form10-Q and Article 10 of RegulationS-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 Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.

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 20152016 Annual Report on Form10-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. 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 2016,March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) (ASU 2016-15)2017-08) that shortens the amortization period of certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The premium is required to be amortized to the earliest call date. Securities held at a discount continue to be amortized to maturity. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which for WesBanco will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-07 that changes how employer-sponsored defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. 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 will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, WesBanco will reclassify the service cost component from employee benefits to salaries and wages, which are both components ofnon-interest expense. The service cost component for the three months ending March 31, 2017 was $0.6 million.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04 that eliminated the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. Public business entities that are a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filer should adopt this update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, which for WesBanco will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 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. ASU2017-01 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for WesBanco will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. WesBanco is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU2017-01 but it is not expected that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-16 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 will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The amendments in this update should 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 is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-15 that provides guidance for the classification of cash flows related to (1) debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, (2) settlement ofzero-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 will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13 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. Foravailable-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 is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-09 that will require all excess income tax benefits or tax deficiencies of stock awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement isdid not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-07 that eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method in previous periods when an investor initially obtains significant influence over an investee. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and requires prospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement isdid not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02 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. WesBanco is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01 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. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16 which eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The acquirer still must disclose the amounts and reasons for adjustments to the provisional amounts. The acquirer also must disclose, by line item, the amount of the adjustment reflected in the current-period income statement that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustment to provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. Alternatively, an acquirer may present those amounts separately on the face of the income statement. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods with those fiscal years. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07 related to disclosures for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent). This update removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient and modifies certain disclosure requirements. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires retrospective adoption. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05 that provides guidance on when to account for a cloud computing arrangement as a software license. The guidance applies only to internal-use software that a customer obtains access to in a hosting arrangement if both of the following criteria are met: (1) The customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without significant penalty, (2) it is feasible for the customer to either run the software on its own hardware or contract with another party unrelated to the vendor to host the software. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 that revised the consolidation model, requiring reporting entities to reevaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities under the revised model. The amendments in this update modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities, and eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate and affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. The pronouncement also provides for a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-09 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. The pronouncement was originally effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016 using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption was not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved aone-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. Early adoption is now permitted as of the original effective date for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-08, which amends the principalprinciple versus agent guidance in the revenue standard. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-10, which clarifies when promised goods or services are separately identifiable in the revenue standard. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-12, which providedprovides narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients to the revenue standard. While WesBanco is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on individual customer contracts, management has evaluated the impact of this standard on the broad categories of its customer contracts and revenue streams. WesBanco currently anticipates this standard will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements because revenue related to financial instruments, including loans and investment securities are not in scope of these updates. Loan interest income, investment interest income, insurance services revenue and BOLI are accounted for under other U.S. GAAP standards and out of scope of ASC 606 revenue standard. The Company plans to adopt the revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018. The Company is currently reviewing all streams of revenue that may be subject to this revised guidance. While WesBanco has not yet identified any material changes to the timing of revenue recognition, the Company’s review is ongoing.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-01, which applies to all reporting entities that invest in qualified affordable housing projects through limited liability entities. The pronouncement permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for these investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions exist. The pronouncement also requires disclosure that enables users of its financial statements to understand the nature of these investments in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The pronouncement is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. WesBanco made an accounting policy election to adopt the ASU in the first quarter of 2017. With the adoption of this pronouncement, on itsWesBanco now classifies the amortization of the investment as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amount for the three months ending March 31, 2017 was $0.5 million, which is included in income tax expense within WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

On September 9, 2016, WesBanco completed its acquisition of Your Community Bankshares, Inc. (“YCB”), aand its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Your Community Bank (“YCB Bank”), an Indiana state-chartered commercial bank holding company headquartered in New Albany, Indiana.

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 theavailable-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 $45.1 million and $46.4 million and $45.5 million at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, 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.

NOTE 5. LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The recorded investment in loans is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets net of deferred loan fees and costs and discounts on purchased loans. The deferred loan fees and costs were $0.5 million and $1.0$0.3 million at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. The discounts on purchased loans from acquisitions was $25.8$26.2 million, including $12.1$13.5 million related to YCB, and $15.7$24.1 million at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

(1)Commercial loans greater than $1 million that are reported asnon-accrual or as a troubled debt restructuring (“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 ofpre-sales for residential housing construction orpre-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. Other factors that are considered for commercial and industrial loans include the type, quality and marketability ofnon-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.

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 asnon-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.

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 $0.6$2.7 million is due for 20162017, which could be all or partially offset by the Plan’s $39.1$46.9 million available credit balance. AWesBanco currently expects to make a voluntary contribution of $3.8approximately $5.0 million was madeto the Plan in June 2016.2017.

On September 9, 2016, WesBanco assumed YCB’s obligation for a predecessor bank’s participation in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (“Pentegra Plan”). The participating employer plan has been frozen to new participants since 2002. WesBanco intends to spinis in the process of spinning off the assets from the Pentegra Plan, during the fourth quarter of 2016, contributingand has contributed approximately $3.3$2.8 million to satisfy the estimated final costs to do so. This estimated spin off will have no impact on earnings as the liability was included in YCB’s balance sheet as of the acquisition date. The distributed assets from the Pentegra Plan will be transferred to a plan, providing substantially the same benefits to participants.

the participants prior to its merger into the WesBanco also assumed YCB’s single employer pension plan that was amendedDefined Benefit Pension Plan later in 1997 such that there could be no new participants or increases to existing participants. The net periodic pension cost was less than $10 thousand as of September 30, 2016.2017.

NOTE 7. 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. Certain equity securities that are lightly traded inover-the-counter markets are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as quoted market prices may not be available on the fair value measurement date. 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 derivativederivatives 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 simultaneously 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 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 ownnon-performance risk and the respective counterparty’snon-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 the lower of cost or fair value. 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.

Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table below are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the statement of financial position. The following tables set forth WesBanco’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015:2016:

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.

Securitiesheld-to-maturity:Fair values for securitiesheld-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. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Commitments —In the normal course of business, WesBanco offersoff-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 ofnon-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 $0.5 million and $0.6 million as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, 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 September 30, 2016both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016.

Contingent obligations to purchase loans funded by other entities include affordable housing plan guarantees, credit card guarantees and mortgages sold into the secondary market with recourse. 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. Certain mortgages sold with recourse obligate WesBanco to repurchase mortgages sold if the borrower exceeds certain delinquency metrics within the first year.

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 10. 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 certainnon-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 $3.7$3.8 billion and $3.6 billion at September 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015.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.

Net interest income increased $1.4$10.9 million or 2.3%18.2% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 compared to the same quarter of 20152016 due to a 10.2%23.3% increase in average loan balances. In addition, the yield on earning assets has increased in each of the last five quarters, a total of 16 basis points, with 12 basis points of the increase occurring subsequent to the acquisition of YCB’s higher yielding earning assets. As a result, the net interest margin increased by 13 basis points to 3.42% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to 3.29% in the first quarter of 2016. Yields increased on over 90% of earning assets, more than offsetting a 5 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities as compared to the first quarter of 2016. The increase in average loan balances resulting in a 3.8% increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a 4 basis point decrease in the net interest margin. Forfirst quarter of 2017 compared to the first nine monthsquarter of 2016 net interest income increased $5.3 million or 3.0% fromwas due to a combination of the acquisitionsacquisition and from annualized3.2% organic loan growth highlighted by 6.7% of approximately 4.2%, reduced by a 14commercial loan growth. Approximately 8 basis point declinepoints of accretion from prior acquisitions was included in the net interest margin. Thefirst quarter net interest margin decreased to 3.32% in the third quarter, compared to 3.36% in same quarter of 2015, but increased two basis points from the second quarter of 2016’s 3.30%. The year-over-year decrease in the quarter’s net interest margin is primarily due to a 9 basis point decrease for total loans due to repricing of existing loans at lower spreads, competitive pricing on new loans and the extended low interest rate environment. Mitigating this reduction is the aforementioned loan growth, which improves overall asset yields as average loan rates are generally higher than securities rates. Funding costs increased 117 basis points in the thirdfirst quarter compared toof 2016, and 10 basis points in the samefourth quarter, when the net interest margin was 3.42%. The 5 basis point increase in 2015,the cost of interest bearing liabilities is primarily due to an increase in the percentage of total FHLB borrowingsfunding from, and increases in rates related to, 16.4% ofsubordinated debt and other borrowings. Average interest bearing liabilities from 12.7%deposits in 2015,2017 increased 9.2%, as well as a 34 basis point increaseall interest bearing deposit types increased other than CDs. Averagenon-interest bearing deposits increased 36.4% to $1.8 billion in the average rate on these borrowings year-over-year. Average deposits in the thirdfirst quarter decreased by 3.5%, primarily dueof 2017 compared to the runoff of CDs. During the last few quarters, the net interest margin has been relatively stable, ranging from 3.29% to 3.32% and the re-mixsame quarter in average earning assets has continued as securities as a percentage of total assets have been reduced from 29.8% at September 30, 2015 to 24.0% at September 30, 2016, while loans have increased as a percentage of total assets to 63.6%. Year-to-date, the decline in the margin of 14 basis points resulted from the same factors affecting the third quarter. Loan growth has assisted in maintaining the net interest margin at its present level despite lower loan yields and overall spread compression.2016.

The provision for credit losses increased to $2.2$2.7 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 compareddue primarily to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, while year-to-date the provision increased to $6.4 million from $5.8 million in the same period of 2015.loan growth. Net charge-offs, as a percentage of average portfolio loans of 0.20%0.15% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016 decreased from 0.30%2017 were minimally higher than the 0.12% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2015. 2016.

For the first nine months of 2016, net charge-offs as a percentage of average portfolio loans of 0.14% decreased from 0.24% in the same 2015 period.

For the third quarter of 2016, 2017,non-interest income increased $2.8$3.5 million, or 15.6%18.0%, compared to the 2015 third quarter.first quarter of 2016.

Service charges on deposits increased $0.3$0.9 million, or 7.0%22.8%, and electronic banking fees increased $0.9 million or 25.6% through a larger customer deposit base from the addition of YCB. Net gains on sale of mortgage loans increased $0.9 million primarily due to increases in mortgage loans sold into the secondary market as total mortgage loan volume increased by 35.3%. Net securities gains increased $0.6decreased $1.1 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016, compared to the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to realized gains resulting from the salecalls of mortgage-backed securitiesagency notes in the 2016 first quarter. Net securities brokerage revenue decreased $0.5 million or 26.2% from staff restructuring and an emphasis on deposit retention. Other income increased $1.9$1.5 million in the third quarter due to $1.3a $0.7 million ofincrease in commercial customer loan swap feerelated income, and improvement in various other income categories, including mortgage banking gains. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, non-interest income increased $5.6 million or 10.2%, reflecting similar trends as in the third quarter, while trust fees decreased 3.0% due to lower total assets under management and lower estate fees earlier in the year, electronic banking fees increased 5.8% and net gain on sales of mortgage loans increased 40.2%.YCB miscellaneous income.

Employee benefits expense increased $0.2$1.1 million, or 16.0%, also primarily from the additional employees which increased deferred compensation expense. Marketinghealth insurance expense decreased $0.2and other benefits, and due to seasonally higher payroll taxes. Increases in net occupancy and equipment were also primarily from costs related to the additional branches from the YCB acquisition and typical first quarter seasonal maintenance expenses.

Other operating expenses increased $2.2 million as WesBanco focused on preparing foror 23.8% through increases in certain other expenses including miscellaneous taxes, professional fees, postage and communications, also partially due to the introduction of YCB customers to our organization.

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 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 $1.4$10.9 million or 2.3%18.2% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 compared to the same quarter of 2015,2016, due to a 10.2%23.3% increase in average earning assets, partially offset byloan balances and a 413 basis point decreaseincrease in the net interest margin. ForLoan balances increased from both the first nine months of 2016, net interest income increased $5.3 million or 3.0%, from the acquisitionsYCB acquisition and from annualized average3.2% in organic loan growth, highlighted by 6.7% of approximately 4.2%, reduced by a 14 basis point decline in the net interest margin.commercial loan growth. Total average deposits decreasedincreased in the thirdfirst quarter by $34.1$917.5 million or 0.5%,15.0% compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2015, primarily due to the runoff of2016, while certificates of deposit, of $281.6 million, which have the highest interest cost among interest bearing deposits. Partially offsettingdeposits, decreased by $126.1 million or 8.0%. Excluding the decrease inYCB acquisition, average deposits decreased $275.6 million, primarily due to the runoff of $364.8 million of certificates of deposit, was an increase in lower-cost and non-interest bearingreflecting customer preferences toward shorter term deposits including $111.9 million run off of $247.5 million, which werecertificates of deposit from the result of the acquisition, marketing campaigns, customer incentives, wealth management and business initiatives as well as deposits from Marcellus and Utica shale gas bonus and royalty payments.ESB acquisition. The net interest margin decreasedincreased to 3.32%3.42% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 from 3.36%3.29% in the same quarter of 2015, but increased 2 basis points from 3.30% in the second quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in the quarter’s net interest margin is primarily2016, due to a 915 basis point decreaseincrease in the yield on loan yields due to repricingearning assets. Yields increased on over 90% of existing loans at lower spreads, competitive pricing on new loans andearning assets, more than offsetting a 5 basis point increase in the extended lowcost of interest rate environment. Overallbearing liabilities. The increase in overall funding costs increased 11 basis points from the third quarter of 2015was due to higher balances and rates on FHLB borrowings, partially offset bysubordinated debt and other borrowings. Approximately 8 basis points of accretion from prior acquisitions was included in the decreasefirst quarter of 2017 net interest margin compared to 7 basis points in certificatesthe first quarter of deposit.2016.

Interest income increased in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 by $3.2$12.3 million or 4.7%18.2% compared to the same period in 20152016 due to the higher average loan balances and higher security yields partiallyin almost every earning asset category, offset slightly by lower taxable securities balances. Average loan balances increased by $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016, and loan yields increased by 6 basis points during this same period. Loans currently provide the greatest impact on interest income and lower securities balances.the yield from earning assets as they have the largest balance and the highest yield within major earning asset categories. In the first nine months of 2016, interest income increased $11.2 million or 5.8% from the first nine months of 2015 due to higher average total earning asset balances from the ESB and YCB acquisitions and organic loan growth, offset somewhat by lower yields on loans. The lower loan yields were due to the continued low interest rate environment with a relatively flat yield curve. However, the increase in average loan balances helped to mitigate the effect of the lower rates, as rates earned on loans are higher than those on securities. In the third quarter of 2016,2017, average loans represented 70.2%72.4% of average earning assets, an increase compared to 66.1%67.0% in the same quarter of 2015.2016. Loan yields increased to 4.19% in the first quarter of 2017 due to higher loan yields on the acquired YCB loan portfolio. Total securities yields increased by 108 basis points in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 from the same period in 20152016 due to scheduled maturities andlower amortization expense from reduced paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, select sales of short-term, lower yielding investment securities in 2016 as well asand a higher percentage of averagetax-exempt securities to total securities. The average balance oftax-exempt securities, which provide the highest yield within securities, increased 4.3%14.8% or $26.9$93.9 million over the last year, and were 29.2%31.2% of total average securities in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 compared to 25.3%26.3% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2015,2016, which helped to mitigate their 1626 basis point decline in yield. While the yield on taxable securities increased by 98 basis points from the thirdfirst quarter of 2015,2016, taxable securities balances decreased by $264.4$167.0 million or 14.3%9.4% from the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 due to maturities, calls, sales and paydowns that were not fully replaced due to management’s focus on maintaining the size of the balance sheet in order to delay the financial impact of crossing $10 billion in assets through acquisitions.assets.

Portfolio loans increased $1.3$1.2 billion or 26.0% in22.9% over the last twelve months ended September 30, 2016 with $1.0 billion from the YCB acquisition and $273.0$165.3 million, or 5.5%3.2% from organic loan growth. Organic loan growth was achieved through $1.4$2.1 billion in loan originations in the first ninelast twelve months, of 2016, with totalpartially offset by certain large commercial real estate payoffs. Total business loan originations were up approximately 14.0%.19.4% over the last year. Organic loan growth was driven by expanded market areas and additional commercial personnel in our core markets.

Interest expense increased $1.7$1.4 million or 27.5% in the third quarter of 2016 and $6.0 million or 33.7%18.6% in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015, both due to increases in the average balance and rate paid on FHLB borrowings. The increases in rate from the FHLB borrowings, due to a shift in term length from short to medium, were offset partially in the third quarter by the decreases in higher cost CDs. Average FHLB borrowings increased in the third quarter of 2016 to manage normal liquidity needs including the funding of CD runoff and loan growth. The increased FHLB borrowings resulted in an overall increase in total average interest bearing liabilities of $85.3 million or 1.4% as the average rate on FHLB borrowings increased 34 basis points in the third quarter of 20162017 compared to the same period in 2015. In2016, due primarily to increases in the third quarter

of 2016, FHLBbalances and rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, other borrowings were 16.4%and subordinated debt. The cost of interest bearing liabilities as comparedincreased by 5 basis points in the first quarter of 2017 from the same period of 2016. Average other borrowings and subordinated debt balances increased by $168.0 million or 87.0% from the first quarter of 2016 due to 12.7%debt acquired in 2015. Helpingthe YCB acquisition. Average interest bearing deposits increased by $442.3 million or 9.2% from the first quarter of 2016, also due to somewhat offset the increase in average FHLB borrowings,YCB acquisition. Slightly offsetting the previously mentioned increases, the average balance of CDs decreased $281.6$126.1 million from the thirdfirst quarter of 2015 from2016, even after acquiring YCB’s CD portfolio. This decrease was accomplished through WesBanco’s planned funding strategy intentionally allowing the runoff of certain higher cost or single service CDs and CDARS® balances.balances and from customers’ preferences toward demand deposits. CDARS® balances decreased by $168.1 million or 59.0% from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. The 10 basis point increase inbalance of FHLB borrowings decreased by $92.1 million or 8.8% from the cost of CDs in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016 is partially due to lower accretion from purchase accounting adjustments on prior acquisitions. In addition, scheduled maturities of borrowings. Also,non-interest bearing demand deposits increased to 22.9%25.3% of total average deposits in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 compared to 20.5%21.3% in the same period of 2015, further helping to partially offset the increase in interest bearing liabilities.2016.

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. While the provision for credit losses increased primarily due to loan growth, credit metrics continued to improve. The provision for credit losses increased to $2.2$2.7 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 compareddue primarily to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, while year-to-date the provision increasedloan growth. Overall, most credit ratios continued to $6.4 million from $5.8 million in the same period of 2015. Net charge-offs asimprove year-over-year, on a percentage of average portfolio loans of 0.20% in the third quarter of 2016 decreased from 0.30% in the third quarter of 2015. For the first nine months of 2016, net charge-offs as a percentage of average portfolio loans of 0.14% decreased from 0.24% in the same 2015 period. Net charge-offs for the three and nine months of 2016 include $1.8 million and $2.3 million related to one large commercial loan, respectively, with a remaining balance of $1.3 million at September 30, 2016. basis.Non-performing loans (including TDRs), and criticized and classified loans and past due loans all improved as a percentage of total portfolio loans from March 31, 2016. Totalnon-performing loans were 0.74% of total loans at March 31, 2017, decreasing from 0.85% of total loans at the thirdend of the first quarter of 2015.2016. Criticized and classified loans were 1.35% of total loans, improving from 1.65% at March 31, 2016. Past due loans at March 31, 2017 were 0.22% of total loans, compared to 0.31% at March 31, 2016.

Non-interest expense in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 grew $10.6$9.0 million compared to the same quarter in 2015,2016, principally from the YCB acquisition, which also added $9.9$0.5 million of merger-related expenses in the quarter. Excluding merger-related expenses,non-interest expense increased $0.9$8.5 million or 2.0%18.9%. Due to the timing of the YCB acquisition, late in the third quarter, normal operating expenses associated with operating the additional 34 branches did not have as significant of an impact to the quarter. For the thirdfirst quarter, salaries and wages increased $1.4$3.8 million or 7.0%19.9% due primarily to increased compensation expense related to routine annual compensation adjustments and an increase in full-time equivalent employees from the acquisition. Employee benefits increased $1.1 million due to the additional employees, which increased health insurance expense and other benefits, and due to seasonally higher payroll taxes. While net occupancy, franchise tax and consulting expenses increased primarily from the acquisition, marketing expense decreased $0.2 million as WesBanco focused on preparing for the introduction of YCB customers to our organization. FDIC insurance also decreased $0.3 million due to a new rate calculation for banks under $10 billion and other risk-related factors, which more than offset the increaseincreased assets related to the acquisition. Even with the acquisition, other expenses including postage, legal, ATM expenses and supplies were down from last year due to efficiencies applied in several back office and support operations. For the first nine months, non-interest expense, excluding merger-related expenses, increased $3.7 million or 2.7%. The increase in non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2016 reflects similar trends as in the third quarter.

Salaries and wages increased $1.4$3.8 million or 7.0%19.9% from the thirdfirst quarter of 2015 and $2.7 million or 4.6% over the first nine months of 20152016 due to increased compensation expense related to an 18.3%a 19.1% increase in full-time equivalent employees, primarily late in the third quarter of 2016 from the acquisition, and routine annual adjustments to compensation. Employee benefits expense increased $0.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2015, primarily from increased deferred compensation expense.

Equipment costs decreased $0.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2015 but increased $0.7$1.1 million compared to the first ninequarter of 2016, primarily from the additional employees as well as seasonally higher payroll taxes including social security and medicare taxes, which was partially offset by a decrease in pension costs.

Net occupancy and equipment costs increased $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, compared to the first three months of 20152016, primarily due to continuous improvementsincreased building-related costs including utilities, lease expense, depreciation and other maintenance costs, as well as increases in technology and communications infrastructure and origination and customer support systems.costs resulting primarily from the additional YCB offices.

FDIC insurance has increased $0.2decreased $0.3 million compared to the first ninethree months of 2015 due to a higher assessment base over those nine months. FDIC insurance has decreased $0.1 million from the third quarter of 2015,2016 despite a larger balance sheet from the YCB acquisition, due to theacquisition. The Deposit Insurance Fund reachingreached 1.15% prior to July 1, 2016, thus allowing the FDIC to institute new favorable assessment rate calculations beginning on that date for banks under $10 billion in size. WesBanco anticipates a further decrease in FDIC insurance expense based on continuing improvement in certain risk factors.

Amortization of intangible assets of $0.8$1.3 million in the thirdfirst quarter included $0.2$0.6 million related to the YCB acquisition. The YCB acquisition is expected to addadded approximately $12.0 million in core deposit intangibles and $0.8 million innon-compete agreements with former YCB executives covering a three-year term.

        RestructuringFranchise and merger-related expensesother miscellaneous taxes increased $0.5 million compared to the first three months of $10.6 million in 2016 relateddue to the YCB acquisition include $6.3and organic company growth.

Professional fees have increased $0.4 million from contract terminationthe first quarter of 2016 primarily due to professional fees and conversion costs, $2.0the increased volume in swap agreements entered into by WesBanco customers. Postage, legal fees and other expenses have increased a total of $0.9 million from change-in-control payments and employee severance, $1.5 million in investment banking services, $0.6 million in legal expenses and $0.2 million in valuation services. Additional merger-related expenses approximating $2.5 million are expected to be recognized in the fourthfirst quarter of 2016. All restructuring and merger-related expenses in 2015 related to the ESB acquisition.

Other real estate owned and foreclosure expenses increased $0.8 million in 2016 compared to the first nine months of 2015primarily due to normal foreclosure and liquidation activity, as well as a tax refund on a large other real estate owned commercial property in 2015. Other real estate owned and repossessed assets increased $3.7 million from September 30, 2015 to $9.8 million as of September 30, 2016 primarily dueoperating expenses related to the YCB acquisition.

Other non-interest expense decreased $0.7 from the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to lower fraud losses, offset somewhat by miscellaneous YCB expenses in the current quarter. For the first nine months, other non-interest expense decreased $1.2 million or 13.3% due to lower fraud losses as well as the elimination of several months of data servicing fees related to the ESB acquisition prior to the April 24, 2015, system conversion.

The provision for federal and state income taxes decreased $2.0 million to $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2016 as compared to $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2015 due to merger-related expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2016.

Organic deposits decreased $124.5 million as a result of a 15.7%5.1% decrease in certificates of deposit and a 14.6 % decrease in money market deposits, which was partially offset by increases of 9.7% and 2.0% in demand deposits and savings deposits, respectively.deposit. The decrease in certificates of deposit is a result of lower rate offerings for maturing certificates of deposit and customer preferences for other deposit types.types, coupled with an $18.5 million decrease in CDARS® balances and a $30.3 million decrease in the certificates of deposit acquired in the ESB transaction. 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 initial 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 investment securities, which are a source of liquidity for WesBanco as well as a contributor to interest income, decreased by $64.3$25.6 million or 2.7%1.1% from December 31, 20152016 to September 30, 2016. The investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2016 includes $173.5 million of securities acquired in the YCB acquisition.March 31, 2017. Through the first ninethree months of 2016,2017, theavailable-for-sale portfolio decreased by $101.0$16.1 million or 7.2%1.3%, while theheld-to-maturity portfolio increaseddecreased by $36.2$10.2 million or 3.6%1.0%. The decrease in the overall portfolio from December 31, 20152016 was driven by sales, calls, maturities and paydowns exceeding both purchases in the first ninethree months of 2016 and the acquired YCB portfolio. The proceeds were used2017 as a result of management’s strategy to fund decreases in both certificates of deposit and FHLB borrowings and to maintaincontrol the size of the balance sheet in orderthrough the investment portfolio to stay under $10.0delay crossing the $10 billion in assets following the YCB acquisition.threshold. The weighted average yield of the portfolio at September 30, 2016 decreasedincreased by only 26 basis points from December 31, 20152016 to 2.88% despite bringingMarch 31, 2017. This yield increase was due to a continuing mix shift that resulted in a higher balance oftax-exempt securities to the total portfolio, as well as lower amortization expense on mortgage-backed securities from decreases in principal paydowns in the YCB portfolio at current market rates.first quarter. The lower yieldtax-exempt portion of the acquiredinvestment portfolio was offset somewhat by a greater mix shift during 2016 to tax-exempt securities, which offerprovides the highest yield inyields of any security type within the portfolio.

Net unrealized gains (losses)losses onavailable-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 20152016 were $10.5$8.2 million and ($4.2)$9.9 million, respectively. Unrealized gains increased significantly on available-for-sale securities due to a decrease in market rates during the first nine months of 2016. With approximately 45%46% of the investment portfolio in theheld-to-maturity category, the recent volatility in interest rates does not have as much impact on other comprehensive income as if the entire portfolio were included in the categoryavailable-for-sale.

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 securities thinly traded 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 7, “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. 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 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 changes 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 loss in the event of default to understand their impact on the Bank’s earnings and capital.

Total business loan originations were up approximately 19.4% over the last year. Residential real estate loans were relatively unchangeddecreased, despite increased mortgage production, due to an increase in loans sold into the secondary market and payoffs, while organic growth in home equity lines of credit increased 7.1%. All other loan categories experienced less significant fluctuations from December 31, 2015.consumer loans decreased $18.8 million or 4.7% due to a reduced focus and pricing adjustments for indirect installment loans.

Loans past due 90 days or more decreased $1.0 million compared to December 31, 2016 also due to successful collection of delinquent YCB loans. The 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 creditloan losses represented 0.69%0.7% of total portfolio loans at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to 0.82% at0.7% as of December 31, 2015. The allowance increased $1.0 million from December2016 and 0.83% as of March 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 primarily due to loan growth.2016. If the acquired YCB and ESB loans (recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition of $1,714.1 million with no carry-over allowance)$1,711.9 million) were excluded from the ratio, the allowance would approximate 0.95%0.96% of the adjusted loan total at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to 1.09% prior to the 2015 ESB acquisition. The resulting ratio providesindicates greater coverage over totallegacy loans and is considered by management to be a better comparison of the adequacy of the allowance. Portfolio mix shifts also affect management’s evaluation of the overall allowance.

The allowance for loans individually-evaluated decreasedincreased from December 31, 20152016 to September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 primarily due to a partial charge-off on one large individually-evaluated commercial creditthe addition of $2.3two CRE properties aggregating $3.8 million while thewith specific reserves totaling $1.1 million. The allowance for loans collectively-evaluated increased $1.7 millionwas relatively unchanged compared to $41.9 million due to the aforementioned loan growth.December 31, 2016.

The allowance for loan commitments of $0.5 million at March 31, 2017 as compared to $0.6 million at September 30, 2016 was unchanged from December 31, 2015.2016, 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. 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 loans, 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 asnon-performing is not as significant a factor as the loss migration rate by risk grade or the segment loss history, although certainnon-performing loans that carry specific reserves are also typically considered classified under the internal risk grading system. Criticized and classified loans including $13.9 million from YCB, were $88.4 million, or 1.42%1.35% of total loans, at September 30, 2016, improving from 1.65% at March 31, 2016. Criticized and classified loans as a percent of total loans at September 30, 2015 and 1.57% from December 31, 2015,improved as credit quality continued to improve, enabling certain loans to be upgraded that were criticized but not classified throughout the economic downturn. Criticized and classified loans increased $10.3 million from December 31, 2016 to $85.0 million at March 31, 2017 as management completed its review of the YCB acquired portfolio in the first quarter of 2017 resulting in downgrades of certain loans, primarily commercial, previously reported as pass as well as one large CRE relationship downgraded during the period.

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, 20152016 is primarily due to organic loan growth in these categories. Thecategories, while the overall allowance for residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans collectively decreased despite overall organicretail loan growth from lower historical loss rates in each category due to overall continued improvement in the credit quality of the portfolio.categories was relatively unchanged.

Deposits, which represent WesBanco’s primary source of funds, are offered in various account forms at various rates through WesBanco’s 174173 financial centers. The FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000 per account.

Total deposits increased by $1.1 billion$104.9 million or 17.6%1.5% during the first ninethree months of 2016 primarily due to the YCB acquisition, which provided $1.2 billion of additional deposits, while organic deposits decreased 2.1%.2017. Interest bearing demand andnon-interest bearing demand deposits increased 40.5%3.4% and 29.4%3.0%, respectively, while savings and money market and savings deposits increased 14.0%3.4% and 5.0%3.3%, respectively. This growth was dueis primarily attributable to the YCB acquisition and corresponding marketing, customer incentives, focused retail and business strategies to obtain more account relationships and customers’ preferences for shorter-term maturities, coupled with initial 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. Demand deposits, savings deposits andIn addition, money market deposits acquiredwere influenced primarily through WesBanco’s participation in the YCB acquisition were $607.9Insured Cash Sweep (ICS®) money market deposit program. ICS® reciprocal balances totaled $49.5 million $132.7at March 31, 2017 compared to $5.7 million and $190.8 million, respectively.at December 31, 2016.

Certificates of deposit increased $15.9decreased $76.7 million due primarily to the YCB acquisition. Certificates of deposits acquired from the YCB acquisition totaled $262.4 million, while organic balances declined 15.8% due to the effects of an overall corporate strategy designed to increase and remix retail deposit relationships with a focus on overall products that can be offered at a lower cost to WesBanco. The decline was also impacted by lower offered rates on maturing certificates of deposit earlier in the period and customer preferences for othernon-maturity deposit types. WesBanco does not generally solicit brokered or other depositsout-of-market or over the internet, but does participate in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services (CDARS®) program and the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS®) money market deposit program. CDARS® balances totaled $164.7$116.7 million in total outstanding balances at September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, of which $119.5$83.6 million representedone-way buys, compared to $243.7$135.2 million in total outstanding balances at December 31, 2015,2016, of which $182.7$100.1 million representedone-way buys.

In addition, WesBanco extended the maturities of approximately $170.0 million of FHLB borrowings at an average cost of 1.54% versus prior FHLB borrowings with shorter-term maturities at an average cost of 1.00% to fund the maturities.1.10%.

Other short-term borrowings, which consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and notes payable at September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, but may also include federal funds purchased and notes payable, were $132.5$115.6 million at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to $81.4$199.4 million at December 31, 2015.2016.

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 9, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Loans and Credit Risk” section of this MD&A for additional information.

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, 2016,March 31, 2017, 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, 2016,March 31, 2017, under FDIC regulations, WesBanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, a dividend of approximately $33.8$40.8 million from the Bank. WesBanco intends to continue to improve its consolidated and Bank capital ratios 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 itson- andoff-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 63.1%64.0% at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and deposit balances funded 72.7%72.9% of assets.

Deposit flows are another principal factor affecting overall WesBanco liquidity. Deposits totaled $7.1 billion at September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. 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 $862.0$812.2 million at September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, which includes jumbo regular certificates of deposit totaling $327.7$310.9 million with a weighted-average cost of 0.61%0.68%, and jumbo CDARS® deposits of $75.1$67.9 million with a weighted-average cost of 0.75%0.86%.

WesBanco maintains a line of credit with the FHLB of Pittsburgh as an additional funding source. Available credit with the FHLB was approximately $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At September 30, 2016 the Bank had unpledged available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost of $188.5 million, representing 15% of the available-for-sale portfolio. These securities are an available liquidity source, or such securities could be pledged to secure additional FHLB borrowings.approximated $1.7 billion. 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 March 31, 2017, the Bank had unpledgedavailable-for-sale securities with an amortized cost of $200.7 million. A portion of these securities could be sold for additional liquidity, or such securities could be pledged to secure additional FHLB borrowings. Available liquidity through the sale of investment securities is currently limited as only approximately 17% of theavailable-for-sale portfolio is 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 of the past two years. WesBanco’sheld-to-maturity portfolio currently contains $785.7 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 theheld-to-maturity portfolio. If tainting occurs, all remaining securities with theheld-to-maturity designation would be required to go toavailable-for-sale, and theheld-to-maturity designation would not be available to WesBanco for several years.

WesBanco participates in the Federal Reserve Bank’sBorrower-in-Custody Program (“BIC”) whereby WesBanco pledges certain consumer loans as collateral for borrowings. At September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, WesBanco had a BIC line of credit totaling $224.5$218.7 million, none of which was outstanding. Alternative funding sources may include the utilization of existing overnight lines of credit with third party banks totaling $285.0 million, none of which was outstanding at September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, along with seeking other lines of credit, borrowings under repurchase agreement lines, increasing deposit rates to attract additional funds, accessing brokered deposits, or selling securitiesavailable-for-sale or certain types of loans.

Other short-term borrowings of $132.5$115.6 million at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 consisted of callable repurchase agreements and overnight sweep checking accounts for large commercial customers and notes payable.customers. There has not been a significant fluctuation in the average deposit balances of the overnight sweep checking accounts during the first nine months of 2016.2017. The overnight sweep checking accounts require U.S. Government securities to be pledged equal to or greater than the average deposit balancesbalance in the related customer accounts.

        The principal sources of parent company liquidity other than the acquisition of $17.4 million from YCB, are dividends from the Bank, $46.2$55.9 million in cash and investments on hand, and a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with another financial institution,bank, which had a $5.0 milliondid not have an outstanding balance at September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. 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, 2016,March 31, 2017, under FDIC and State of West Virginia regulations, WesBanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, dividends of approximately $33.8$40.8 million from the Bank. Management believes these are appropriate levels of cash for the parent companyWesBanco given the current environment. 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.

WesBanco had outstanding commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of business approximating $1.7$1.9 billion and $1.5$1.8 billion at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. On a historical basis, only a small portion of these commitments will result in an outflow of funds. Please refer to Note 9, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Loans and Credit Risk”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 March 31, 2017 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 comprisedis considered a Board-level committee with one current board member on the committee, as well as several members of senior management from various functional areas, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Risk Management Officer and the Senior Treasury Officer. It monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board approved policy limits. Interest rate risk is monitored primarily through the use of an earnings simulation model. The model isand an economicvalue-at-risk model to measure 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 quarterly and reviewed and documentedquarterly by the ALCO.ALCO, while appropriate documentation is maintained in meeting minutes and treasury department files.

The earnings 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, bond call dates, and adjustments to non-maturingvariousnon-maturity deposit product rates, or “betas”, and decay rates for deposits, which may not necessarily reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Assumptions used are based primarily on both historical experience and current market rates.rates, and are periodically back-tested and reviewed by third-party consultants. Security portfolio maturities and prepayments are assumed to be reinvested in similar instruments and callable bond forecasts are adjusted at varying levels of interest rates. While management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates, callable bond forecasts and non-maturingnon-maturity deposit ratesproduct behavior assumptions will approximate actual future results. Moreover, the net interest income sensitivity chart 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 orre-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, the analysis may not consider all actions that management could employ in response to changes in interest rates and various 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 ofnon-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 an immediate and sustained 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates compared to a stable rate environment or base model. WesBanco’s current policy limits this exposure to a reduction of 10%, 12.5%, 15%, and 20% or less, respectively, of net interest income from the base model over a twelve-month period. The table below shows WesBanco’s interest rate sensitivity at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 20152016 assuming a 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis pointthe above-noted interest rate increase,increases as compared to a base model. Due to the current lowlower interest rate environment, particularly for short-term rates, the 200 and 300 basis point decreasing change is not calculated.cannot be calculated due to the unrealistic nature of the results.

As per the table above, the earnings simulation model at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 currently projects that net interest income for the next twelve-month period would decrease by 3.2%3.8% if interest rates were to fall immediately by 100 basis points, compared to a decrease of 2.7%2.3% for the same scenario as of December 31, 2015.2016.

For rising rate scenarios, net interest income would increase by 3.3%3.7%, 4.8%6.1%, 4.9%9.0% and 5.5%11.2% if rates increasedwere to increase by 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points, respectively, as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017, compared to increases of 3.6%3.1%, 5.5%4.6%, 4.7% and 6.2%4.5% in a 100, 200, 300 and 300400 basis point increasing rate environment as of December 31, 2015 (no 400 basis point calculation was available).2016.

The balance sheet remainsshows increasing asset sensitivesensitivity as of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, as compared to December 31, 2015,2016, with differences resulting from changes in the mix of and growth in various earning assets and costing liabilities, changes due to the acquisition of YCB, as well as recent adjustments in modeling assumptions such as deposit beta rates, decay rates fornon-maturity deposits and new loan prepayment speeds. A recent third-party study of the Company’s own historical betas, decay rates and investment rates.prepayment speeds in various interest rate environments was completed. The results were used to replace general industry data in prior evaluations, resulting in a portion of the increased asset sensitivity this period. While deposit betas have been increased from those used in prior periods, loan prepayment speeds were also significantly increased to reflect our own loan balances’ propensity to prepay over time. The net impact was increased asset sensitivity in combination with the aforementioned balance sheet changes normally experienced period over period. Overall asset sensitivity innon-parallel rising rate scenarios may be somewhat neutralized due to slower prepayment speeds, andslower than forecasted increases to loan yields for competitive reasons or due to existing quotes on previously committed loans, extension risk associated with residential mortgages and mortgage-backed securities, as well as other earning asset and costing liability differences versus currently modeled assumptions. In addition, variable rate commercial loans with rate floors averaging 4.15%4.11% approximated $1.3 billion at September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, which represent approximately 32%31% of commercial loans, as compared to $1.0$1.3 billion or 34%32% of commercial loans at December 31, 2015.2016. Approximately 57%50% or $721.4$633.6 million of these loans are currently priced at their floor, as compared to 52%53% or $526.6$671.9 million at December 31, 2015.2016. In a less than 100 basis point rising rate environment, these loans may not significantly re-priceadjust as rapidly from their current floor level as compared to non-floor loans.loans without floors. As a result of the December, 20152016 and March, 2017 federal funds rate increaseincreases affecting short-term market rates such as one and three month LIBOR an(an index used frequently in the setting of commercial loan rates, fixed rate loan spreads, andback-to-back loan swaps for certain commercial loan customers,customers), more commercial loans with floors are now scheduled toshould experience a rate increase in a rising rate environment assisting asset sensitivity overall.of 100 basis points or more.

Given the current low interest rate environment and flatter yield curve for much of 2016, affecting the repricing of loans and investments, WesBanco previously expected that the base case net interest margin in the near term would somewhat decrease without loan growth. However,post-YCB, the net interest margin has grown by 13 b.p. compared topre-acquisition levels due to higher yielding loans from YCB, loan mix and purchase accounting accretion. Further margin expansion is somewhat dependent on additional federal funds and other market rate increases over the remainder of the year, in addition to continued execution of our business strategy to remix investment securities runoff into loans and higher cost wholesale borrowings and CD’s into lower costing transaction accounts. Net purchase accounting accretion is expected to increase 5 to 10 basis points fromdecrease throughout 2017, offset by loan growth and by the mixasset sensitivity of the acquired earning assets and costing liabilities and the positive impact from purchase accounting adjustments on the net financial assets acquired from YCB.balance sheet in a rising rate scenario. Management currently anticipates that onetwo additional short-term federal funds rate increaseincreases may occur during the remainder of 2016,2017, and potentially one or two more in 2017,2018, relatively consistent with general market and consensus economist expectations. A delayDelays in implementing further rate increases infor an asset sensitive scenarioasset-sensitive balance sheet typically would have a negative impact on management’s estimates of the future direction and level of the net interest margin.

However, with current CDs costing an average of 0.72%0.67%, this factor does not assistimprove the net interest margin in the near termas CDs mature and reprice, as new CDoffering rates are generally similar to, or slightly higher than the rates on maturing CDs.

Customers over the past few years have elected to move maturing CD balances to lower-costing transaction account types and as well as certainnon-deposit accounts both within the Company or to other competitors, a portion of these lower-cost transaction account balances may move to higher-costing CDs or money market accounts upon a more significant short-term rate increase over a period of time. Certificates of deposit runoff over the last twofew years, due to customer preferences for other deposit andnon-deposit products, from former single service customers at ESB and YCB and due to our own retail focus on customers with multiple relationships versus single service CD customers, has been replaced with FHLB borrowings and other short-term borrowings. Certificates of deposit totaling approximately $862.0$812.2 million mature within the next year at an average cost of 0.56%0.57%. The increase inApproximately $170 million of short-term maturing FHLB borrowings primarily in 2015,the first quarter of 2017 were replaced with higher cost, medium-term borrowings, which strategy was intended to improve asset sensitivity and lengtheningcertain short-term liquidity measures. Additional maturing borrowings over the remainder of their associated maturities assistedthe year may also be lengthened at a somewhat higher cost, to continue to improve various short-term liquidity ratios that management monitors, and as well in improving the Bank’s asset sensitive position. In the current interest rate environment, with lower expectations for futureanticipation of further rate increases certain intermediate-term FHLB maturities may be shortened or paid off at maturity.over the course of the next two years. Also, management is currently controlling the size of the balance sheet after the YCB acquisition in order to remain under $10 billion in total assets for some period of time, currently anticipated thruthrough the end of 2017 or into 2018. In anticipationAs a result of thelast year’s YCB merger, which occurred September 9, 2016, management elected to reduce the size of the investment portfolio by approximately $200 million in combination with YCB’s pre-acquisition investment portfolio, andpay-down certain borrowings and higher cost wholesale CDs.CDs to assist in remaining under $10 billion, and such strategy will be considered throughout 2017 to limit total asset growth without limiting overall loan growth.

The Bank has significant additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and various correspondent banks, and may utilize these funding sources or interest rate swaps as necessary to lengthen liabilities, help offset mismatches in various asset maturities, and manage short-term cash needs. CDARS® and ICS® deposits also continue to be used to lengthen maturities in certificates of deposit, and for customers seeking higher-yielding instruments and/or to maintain their total deposit levels below FDIC insurance limits.

Current balance sheet strategies to reducemanage the potential fornet interest margin compression in the current lowexpected rate and flatter yield curve environment include:

 

increasing total loans; primarily commercial and home equity loans that have variable or adjustable rates;

 

selling an increasing amount of new residential mortgage loan production into the secondary market:

 

investing availableincreasing certain short-term liquidity;liquidity measures;

 

continuing marketing programs to increase consumer and home equity loans and non-interest bearing or low-cost interest bearing checking accounts;demand deposit account types;

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

 

managing the overall size of the balance sheet to remain under $10 billion in total assets after the recent acquisition of YCB was completedon an organic basis to avoid certain costs associated with the Dodd-Frank Act.

As an alternative to the immediate rate shock analysis, the ALCO monitors interest rate risk by ramping or increasing interest rates 200 basis points gradually over a twelve-month period. WesBanco’s current policy limits this exposure to a change of minus 10% in net interest income from the base model for a twelve-month period and minus 15%also for an extended two year rate ramp of 400 basis points. Management believes that the ramping analysis reflects a more realistic movement of interest rates, whereas the immediate rate shock reflects a less likely scenario. The simulation model at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 using the 200 basis point increasing rate ramp analysis, projects that net interest income would increase 2.8%3.1% over the next twelve months, compared to a 3.0%3.2% increase at December 31, 2015 and 3.0% for2016. For the first twelve months of a 400 basis point rate ramp over two years.years, the increase in net interest income would be 3.5% in year one as compared to the base, and 10.2% in year two when compared to year two’s base. In addition, management utilizes a “Most Likely”most likely forecast scenario to forecast net interest income over a rolling two year time frame, which is periodically updated and reviewed quarterly, incorporating current budget orre-forecast assumptions into the model such as estimated loan and deposit growth, asset and liabilityre-mixing, competitive market rates for various products and marketing promotions, and other assumptions. Such model helps to predict changes in forecasted outcomes and necessary adjustments to the plan to achieve management’s budgeted earnings goals.

WesBanco also periodically measures the economic value of equity, which is defined as the market value of tangible equity in various increasing and decreasing rate scenarios. At September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the market value of tangible equity as a percent of base in a 200 basis point rising rate environment indicates an increase of 9.6%2.0%, compared to an increase of 1.9%6.7% at December 31, 2015.2016. In a 100 basis point falling rate environment, the model indicates an increasea decrease of 1.1%7.3%, compared to a decrease of 8.8%9.8% as of December 31, 2015.2016. WesBanco’s policy is to limit such change to minus 10% for a 100 basis point change in interest rates, minus 20% for a 200 basis point change in interest rates, minus 30% for a 300 basis point rate change in interest rates, and minus 40% for a 400 basis point rate change in interest rates. CertainThe prior acquisition of YCB and related changes to the market valuesvarious assets and liabilities, as well as certain changes to loan prepayment speeds and decay rates associated withnon-maturity deposits, recently updated by a third-party vendor contracted by WesBanco,as noted above, caused the change in market value of tangible equity as compared to December 31, 2015.2016.

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 Rules13a-15(e) and15d-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 Form10-Q, are effective at the reasonable assurance level as discussed below 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, 2016March 31, 2017 as required to be reported by paragraph (d) of Rules13a-15 and15d-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, 2016,March 31, 2017, 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.
