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” or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
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 2024
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as with the policy changes indicated below. 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. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on Wesbanco’s net income and shareholders’ equity. 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—
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) as noted below.
ASU 2025-07 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that enter into non exchange-traded contracts with underlyings based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The amendments in this Update exclude from derivative accounting non exchange-traded contracts with underlyings that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. However, this scope exception does not apply to (1) variables based on a market rate, market price, or market index, (2) variables based on the price or performance of a financial asset or financial liability of one of the parties to the contract, (3) contracts (or features) involving the issuer’s own equity that are evaluated under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and (4) call options and put options on debt instruments. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2025-06 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Goodwill and Other – Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).” The amendments in this Update apply to all entities subject to the internal-use software guidance in Subtopic 350-40. The amendments also apply to all entities that account for website development costs in accordance with Subtopic 350-50, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Website Development Costs. The amendments in this Update remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project; (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to complete recognition threshold”). The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. This accounting pronouncement is currently not expected to be applicable for Wesbanco.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).” The amendments provide (1) all entities with a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606 and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election for those same asset classes. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2025-04 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendments in this Update revise the Master Glossary definition of the term performance condition for share-based consideration payable to a customer. The revised definition incorporates conditions (such as vesting conditions) that are based on the volume or monetary amount of a customer’s purchases (or potential purchases) of goods or services from the grantor (including over a specified period of time). Additionally, the amendments in this Update clarify that a grantor should not apply the guidance in Topic 606 on constraining estimates of variable consideration to share-based consideration payable to a customer. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods
8
within annual reporting periods) beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2025-03 Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity.” The amendments in this update require an entity involved in an acquisition transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity ("VIE") that meets the definition of a business to consider the factors in paragraphs 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer. The amendments in this Update differ from current GAAP because, for certain transactions, they replace the requirement that the primary beneficiary always is the acquirer with an assessment that requires an entity to consider the factors to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer. The amendments in this Update enhance the comparability of financial statements across entities engaging in acquisition transactions effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree meets the definition of a business. For Wesbanco, the amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2025-01 & 2024-03 – Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income –Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” The amendments in this Update improve financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This information is generally not presented in the financial statements today. For Wesbanco, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements, but is expected to result in additional disclosures and potential changes to the line items on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).” The amendment in this Update amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.
ASU 2024-04 – Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20).” The amendments in this Update clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. Under the amendments, to account for a settlement of a convertible debt instrument as an induced conversion, an inducement offer is required to provide the debt holder with, at a minimum, the consideration (in form and amount) issuable under the conversion privileges provided in the terms of the instrument. For Wesbanco, the amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. The amendments in this Update permit an entity to apply the new guidance on either a prospective or a retrospective basis. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718).” The amendments in this Update are designed to improve GAAP by adding an illustrative example that includes four fact patterns to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. The illustrative example is intended to reduce (1) complexity in determining whether a profits interest award is subject to the guidance in Topic 718 and (2) existing diversity in practice. For Wesbanco, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it should adopt them as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. This accounting pronouncement is currently not applicable for Wesbanco.
ASU 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)." The amendments in this Update related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures and are designed to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. For Wesbanco, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early
adopt
ion is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of this pronouncement is
no
t expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements but will result in additional disclosures within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
9
ASU 2023-07—Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280).” The amendments in this Update improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments in this Update do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. For Wesbanco, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early
adopt
ion is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did
not
have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements but has resulted in additional disclosures within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements related to segment reporting. Please refer to Footnote 14, "Business Segments" for additional information.
ASU 2023-06 - Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements." For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2023-05 – Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, "Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement," under which an entity that qualifies as either a joint venture or a corporate joint venture as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") master glossary is required to apply a new basis of accounting upon the formation of the joint venture. Specifically, the ASU provides that a joint venture or a corporate joint venture (collectively, “joint ventures”) must initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on the formation date. For Wesbanco, the amendments are effective for all joint ventures within the ASU’s scope that are formed on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period as of the beginning of the related fiscal year. This accounting pronouncement is currently not applicable for Wesbanco.
NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
On
February 28, 2025
, Wesbanco completed its acquisition of Premier Financial Corp. ("PFC"), a bank holding company headquartered in Defiance, OH. On the acquisition date, PFC had approximately $
7.9
billion in assets, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, which included approximately $
5.9
billion in portfolio loans and $
1.2
billion in investment securities. The PFC acquisition was valued at $
1.0
billion, based on Wesbanco's closing stock price per share on February 28, 2025 of $
35.07
, and resulted in all of PFC's common shares outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the acquisition, as well as certain of PFC's outstanding equity awards, converting into the right to receive
28,738,104
shares of Wesbanco common stock in the aggregate, of which
20,316,670
were newly issued shares and
8,421,434
were treasury shares. Following completion of the acquisition, PFC shareholders represent approximately
30
% of the voting interests in Wesbanco. With the acquisition of PFC, Wesbanco acquired
73
branches and increased its market share in Ohio, while expanding into contiguous markets in northwestern Ohio and Michigan. The assets and liabilities of PFC were recorded on Wesbanco's balance sheets at their preliminary estimated fair values as of February 28, 2025, the acquisition date, and PFC's results of operations have been included in Wesbanco's Consolidated Statements of Income since that date. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, Wesbanco recorded $
481.4
million in goodwill and $
145.6
million in core deposit intangibles in its Community Banking segment, and $
6.9
million in customer list intangibles in its Trust and Investment Services segment, which reflects the expected synergies and economies of scale resulting from the acquisition. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes as the acquisition is accounted for as a tax-free exchange for tax purposes. As a result of the integration of the operations of PFC, it is not practicable to determine revenue or net income included in Wesbanco’s operating results relating to PFC since the date of acquisition, as PFC's results cannot be separately identified. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Wesbanco recorded merger-related expenses of $
4.0
million and $
57.4
million, respectively, associated with the PFC acquisition.

The PFC acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their respective acquisition date estimated fair values. These estimates were recorded based on initial valuations available at the acquisition date, and these estimates, including initial accounting for deferred taxes, are considered preliminary as of September 30, 2025, and subject to adjustment for up to one year after the acquisition date. In many cases, the determination of fair value required management to make estimates about discount rates, expected future cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. While the Company believes that the information available on the acquisition date provided a reasonable basis for estimating fair value, additional information may be obtained during the measurement period that would result in changes to the estimated fair value amounts. The measurement period ends on the earlier of one year after the acquisition date or the date the Company concludes that all necessary information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date have been obtained. Management anticipates that facts obtained during the measurement period could result in adjustments to the valuation amounts presented herein.

The fair value estimates for loans, deferred taxes, other assets and other liabilities have continued to fluctuate as the final valuations and reclassifications are completed. The Company expects to finalize the fair values and corresponding goodwill balance within one year of the date of the acquisition.
The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above.
Cash and due from banks
– The carrying amount of these items is a reasonable estimate of their fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.
Investment securities
– The fair value of equity securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges. The fair value of available-for-sale debt securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices or by using 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. Valuations of positions that are not traded in active markets, which consist of certain specific private placement municipal debt issues, are generated using assumptions not observable in the market or management’s best estimate for which the credit quality and discount rate must be estimated. The actual sales prices of securities were used as the fair value for those securities sold in March 2025, immediately following the acquisition date, rather than the quoted market price as sales prices were determined to be the best indicator of fair value as of the acquisition date.
Loans held for sale
– Commercial loans in the loans held for sale portfolio were recorded at fair value based on estimated bids from third parties. For residential loans held for sale, the use of a valuation model using quoted prices of similar instruments were significant inputs in arriving at the fair value.
Net portfolio loans
– A valuation of the portfolio loans was performed by a third party as of the acquisition date to assess the fair value. The portfolio was segmented into three groups, including performing purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans, non-accrual PCD loans and non-PCD loans. The loans were further pooled based on loan type and interest rate terms. The loans were valued at the pool level using a discounted cash flow methodology. The methodology included projecting cash flows based on the contractual terms of the loans and the cash flows were adjusted to reflect credit loss expectations along with prepayments. Discount rates were developed based on the relative risk of the cash flows, taking into consideration the loan type, market rates as of the valuation date, recent originations in the portfolio, credit loss expectations, and liquidity expectations. Lastly, cash flows adjusted for credit loss expectations were discounted to present value and summed to arrive at the fair value of the loans.
Loans acquired in the PFC acquisition were reviewed to identify any that had experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. Loans that met established criteria indicating such deterioration are classified as purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans. These loans are recorded at the purchase price net of expected allowance for credit losses at the time of acquisition. In addition, a non-credit discount or premium is allocated to the PCD loans based on a valuation by a third-party specialist. Under this method, the acquired PCD loans do not incur a provision for credit losses affecting net income at acquisition. However, changes to the allowance for these PCD loans in subsequent periods would be recognized through the provision for credit losses.
12
Of the $
5.9
billion in loans held for investment acquired from PFC, $
5.7
billion were identified as non-PCD and $
0.2
billion were identified as PCD. The non-PCD loans have an amortized cost of $
6.0
billion and interest and credit marks that total $
0.3
billion.
The PCD loans are summarized in the following table:

$
205,962
(1) The allowance on PCD loans at acquisition date increased $
2.0
million as compared to what was previously reported due to the refinements of certain individually-evaluated credits in the allowance calculation.
Premises and equipment
- The fair values of premises are based on a market approach by obtaining third-party appraisals and broker opinions of value for land, office and branch space.
Core deposit intangible
– The core deposit intangible represents the low cost of funding acquired core deposits provide relative to the Company’s marginal cost of funds. The fair value was estimated based on a cost savings methodology that gave consideration to expected customer attrition rates, net maintenance cost of the deposit base, interest costs associated with customer deposits, and the alternative cost of funds. The estimated fair value was grossed-up for the expected tax amortization benefit. The intangible asset is being amortized over
10
years using an accelerated method, based upon the period over which estimated economic benefits are estimated to be received.
Deposits
– The fair values used for demand, savings and money market deposits are equal to the amount payable on demand at the acquisition date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using current rates offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.
FHLB Borrowings
– The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar remaining maturities.
Subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt
– The fair value of subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows by using comparable corporate bond indices and swap rates from the financial services sector and factoring in the applicable credit spreads and optional early redemption provisions.
The operating results of the Company include the operating results produced by the acquired assets and assumed liabilities in the acquisition for the period March 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025.
The following table presents unaudited pro forma information as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024. The pro forma adjustments give effect to any change in interest income due to the accretion of the discount associated with the fair value adjustments to acquired loans, any change in interest expense due to estimated premium amortization/discount accretion associated with the fair value adjustment to acquired interest-bearing deposits, borrowings and long-term debt and the amortization of the core deposit intangible that would have resulted had the deposits been acquired as of January 1, 2024. The pro forma information is not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the year prior to the acquisition date. The pro forma amounts below do not reflect any adjustments to the provision for credit losses for acquired loans, or the Company's expectations as of the date of the pro forma information of further operating cost savings and other business synergies expected to be achieved, including revenue growth as a result of the acquisition.
As a result, actual amounts differed from the unaudited pro forma information presented.

and

options to purchase shares were not included in the diluted share computation for the
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of a common share, and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.
As of September 30, 2025
,
16,000
shares were estimated to be awarded under the 2025, 2024 and 2023 total shareholder return ("TSR") plans and were included in the diluted calculation as stock performance targets had been met. As of
September 30, 2024
,
no
shares were estimated to be awarded under the 2024, 2023 and 2022 TSR plans and were not included in the diluted calculation as stock performance targets had not been met as of such date and therefore the effect would be antidilutive.
In addition,
54,314
shares of performance-based restricted stock were included in the diluted calculation as of
September 30, 2025 because the performance criteria was met. Similarly, at September 30, 2024
,
87,992
shares were estimated to be awarded and are included in the diluted calculation.
As previously disclosed, in conjunction with the announcement of the acquisition of PFC, on August 1, 2024, Wesbanco issued
7,272,728
shares of common stock to complete a $
200
million common equity capital raise. This equity issuance was primarily to support the pro-forma bank's balance sheet and regulatory capital ratios. As well,
28,738,104
shares were needed as merger consideration to complete the PFC acquisition on February 28, 2025. To accomplish this, Wesbanco used
8,421,434
shares of Treasury stock and
20,316,670
newly-issued common shares. These shares are included in the average shares outstanding beginning on those dates mentioned. For additional information relating to the PFC acquisition, refer to Note 2, “Mergers and Acquisitions.”

The corporate and municipal bonds in Wesbanco’s held-to-maturity debt portfolio are analyzed quarterly to determine if an allowance for current expected credit losses is warranted. Wesbanco uses a database of historical financials of all corporate and municipal issuers and actual historic default and recovery rates on rated and non-rated transactions to estimate expected credit losses on an individual security basis. The expected credit losses are adjusted quarterly and are recorded in an allowance for expected credit losses on the balance sheet, which is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the held-to-maturity portfolio as a contra asset. The losses are recorded on the consolidated income statement in the provision for credit losses. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities, which was
$
8.3
million
and
$
8.4
million
as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, respectively, is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Held-to-maturity investments in U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies as well as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, which are all either issued by a direct governmental entity or a government-sponsored entity, have no historical evidence supporting expected credit losses; therefore, Wesbanco has estimated these losses at
zero
, and will monitor this assumption in the future for any economic or governmental policies that could affect this assumption.

Unrealized losses on debt securities in the table above represent temporary fluctuations resulting from changes in market rates in relation to fixed yields. Unrealized losses in the available-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; therefore, management believes the unrealized losses detailed above do not require an allowance for credit losses relating to these securities to be 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 stock totaling $
61.8
million
and
$
48.2
million
at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit losses methodology is calculated on non-PCD loans utilizing the probability of default ("PD") divided by the loss given default ("LGD"), which is then discounted to net present value. PD is the probability the asset will default within a given time frame and LGD is the percentage of the asset not expected to be collected due to default. The primary macroeconomic drivers of the quantitative model include forecasts of national unemployment and interest rates, as well as modeling adjustments for changes in prepayment speeds, portfolio mix, concentrations and loan growth. At September 30, 2025, the primary driver of the change in the allowance model calculation from December 31, 2024
was the initial allowance on the loans acquired in the PFC transaction. Also impacting the allowance were adjustments in regional macroeconomic factors and loan concentrations, increases to specific reserves on individually-evaluated loans and an increase in net charge-offs. The forecast was based upon a probability weighted approach which is designed to incorporate loss projections from a baseline, upside and downside economy. Due to the nonlinearity of credit losses to the economy, the asymmetry is best captured by evaluating multiple economic scenarios through a probability weighted approach. At quarter-end, national unemployment was projected to be
4.7
%, and subsequently increase to an average of
5.3
% over the remainder of the forecast period. In addition to the quantitative and qualitative changes noted above, the allowance is reflective of $
16.0
million in net charge-offs recorded during the first nine months of
2025
. Accrued interest receivable for loans was $
88.7
million and $
62.2
million at
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, respectively. Wesbanco made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of the allowance for credit losses because the Company has a policy in place to reverse or write-off accrued interest when loans are placed on non-accrual. However, due to their unique nature, Wesbanco does have a $
0.1
million reserve on the accrued interest related to individually-evaluated loans at
September 30, 2025
. In addition, Wesbanco also has a $
0.1
million reserve on the accrued interest related to loan modifications allowed under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act due to the timing and nature of these modifications. Accrued interest related to COVID-19 loan modifications as permitted under the CARES Act was $
13.6
million and $
13.9
million at
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Commercial Loan Risk Grades
Commercial loan risk grades are determined based on an evaluation of the relevant characteristics of each loan, assigned at inception 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 sufficiency, reliability and sustainability of the primary source of repayment and overall financial strength of the borrower. The rating system more heavily weights the debt service coverage, leverage and loan to value factors to derive the risk grade. Other factors that are considered at a lesser weighting include management, industry or property type risks, payment history, collateral or guarantees.
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 of pre-sales for residential housing construction or pre-leases for commercial investment property. The risk grade assigned to commercial investment property loans is based primarily on the adequacy of the net operating income generated by the property to service the debt (“debt service coverage”), the loan to appraised value, the type, quality, industry and mix of tenants, and the terms of leases. The risk grade assigned to owner-occupied commercial real estate is based primarily on global debt service coverage and the leverage of the business, but may also consider the industry in which the business operates, the business’ specific competitive advantages or disadvantages, collateral margins and the quality and experience of management.
Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans consist of revolving lines of credit to finance accounts receivable, inventory and other general business purposes; term loans to finance fixed assets other than real estate, and letters of credit to support trade, insurance or governmental requirements for a variety of businesses. Most C&I borrowers are privately-held companies with annual sales up to $
100
million. Primary factors that are considered in risk rating C&I loans include debt service coverage and leverage. Other factors including operating trends, collateral coverage along with management experience are also considered.
20
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, including guarantees.
Criticized loans, considered as compromised, have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the bank's credit position at some future date. Criticized loans are not adversely classified by the banking regulators and do not expose the bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Classified loans, considered as substandard and doubtful, are equivalent to the classifications used by banking regulators. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. These loans may or may not be reported as non-accrual. Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. These loans are reported as non-accrual.

Residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans are not assigned internal risk grades other than as required by regulatory guidelines that are based primarily on the age of past due loans. Wesbanco primarily evaluates the credit quality of residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans based on repayment performance and historical loss rates. The aggregate amount of residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans classified as substandard in accordance with regulatory guidelines was $
52.6
million at
September 30, 2025
and $
23.3
million at
December 31, 2024
, of which $

NOTE 6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Wesbanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include goodwill of $
1.6
billion and $
1.1
billion
as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, respectively, all of which relates to the Community Banking segment. Wesbanco’s other intangible assets of $
157.9
million and $
27.3
million at
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, respectively, primarily consist of core deposit and other customer list intangibles, which have finite lives and are amortized using straight line and accelerated methods. Other intangible assets are being amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from
ten
to
sixteen years
. The increases to goodwill and other intangible assets in 2025 are specific to the PFC acquisition, which contributed $
481.4
million in goodwill and $
145.6
million in core deposit intangibles in its Community Banking segment, as well as $
6.9
million in customer list intangibles in its Trust and Investment Services segment. Amortization of core deposit and customer list intangible assets totaled $
8.4
million and $
2.1
million for the
three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
, respectively, and $
21.9
million and $
6.2
million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
, respectively. Wesbanco completed its annual quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation as of November 30, 2024, and concluded that there were
no
indications of impairment. In addition, as there were no significant changes in market conditions, consolidated operating results or forecasted future results after November 30, 2024, it was concluded that at both
December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025
, there were also
no
indications of impairment. Additionally, there were no events or changes in circumstances indicating impairment of other intangible assets as of
December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025.

NOTE 7. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
Wesbanco is a limited partner in several tax-advantaged limited partnerships whose purpose is to invest in approved low-income housing investment tax credit projects. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The limited partnerships are considered to be VIEs as they generally do not have equity investors with voting rights or have equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources to support their activities. The VIEs have not been consolidated because Wesbanco is not considered the primary beneficiary. All of Wesbanco’s investments in limited partnerships are privately held, and their market values are not readily available. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, Wesbanco had $
76.8
million and $
38.2
million, respectively, invested in these partnerships. Wesbanco also recognizes the unconditional unfunded equity commitments of $
28.9
million and $
19.0
million at
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, respectively, within other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Wesbanco classifies the amortization of the investment as a component of income tax expense (benefit) and proportionally amortizes the investment over the tax credit period. The
amortization
for the
three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
was $
3.0
million and $
1.2
million, respectively. The amortization for the
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
was $
7.9
million and $
3.5
million, respectively. Tax benefits attributed to these partnerships include low-income housing and historic tax credits, which are projected to total $
10.0
million for
2025
, and totaled $
4.3
million for
2024, which are also included in income tax expense.
Wesbanco is also a limited partner in
three
other limited partnerships as of
September 30, 2025. These provide seed money and capital to startup companies, and financing to low-income housing projects. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, Wesbanco had $
4.0
million and $
2.9
million, respectively, invested in these partnerships, which are recorded in other assets using the equity method. Wesbanco included in operations under the equity method of accounting its share of the partnerships’ net income for the
three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
of $
21
thousand and $
5
thousand, respectively, and net income for the
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
of $
104
thousand and $(
5
) thousand, respectively.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
Wesbanco is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Wesbanco principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Wesbanco manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities. Wesbanco’s existing interest rate derivatives result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in Wesbanco’s assets or liabilities. Wesbanco manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. A matched book is when the assets and liabilities of Wesbanco Bank, Inc., Wesbanco's banking subsidiary (the "Bank") are equally distributed but also have similar maturities.
Loan Swaps
Wesbanco executes interest rate swaps and interest rate caps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps and caps are economically hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps and caps that Wesbanco executes with a third party, such that Wesbanco minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps and caps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and caps and the offsetting third-party swaps and caps are recognized directly in earnings. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, Wesbanco had
343
and
293
customer interest rate swaps and caps with an aggregate notional amount of $
2.3
billion and $
1.9
billion, respectively, related to this program. Wesbanco recognized income for the related swap and cap fees of $
3.2
million and $
1.1
million for the
three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
, respectively, and $
6.6
million and $
3.6
million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Risk participation agreements are entered into as financial guarantees of performance on interest rate swap derivatives. The purchased asset or sold liability allows Wesbanco to participate-in (fee received) or participate-out (fee paid) the risk associated with certain derivative positions executed by the borrower of the lead bank in a loan syndication. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, Wesbanco had
27
and
24
risk participation-in agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $
276.5
million and $
233.8
million, respectively. As of
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, Wesbanco had
eight
risk participation-out agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $
67.2
million and $
67.7
million, respectively.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale and Interest Rate Lock Commitments
Certain residential mortgage loans are originated for sale in the secondary mortgage loan market. These loans are classified as held for sale and carried at fair value as Wesbanco has elected the fair value option. Fair value is determined based on rates obtained from the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. Wesbanco sells loans to the secondary market on either a mandatory or best efforts basis. The loans sold on a mandatory basis are not committed to an investor until the loan is closed with the borrower. Wesbanco enters into forward to be announced (“TBA”) contracts to manage the interest rate risk between the lock commitment and the closing of the loan. The total balance of forward TBA contracts entered into was $
137.5
million and $
29.0
million at
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The loans sold on a best efforts basis are committed to an investor simultaneous to the interest rate commitment with the borrower, and as a result, the Company does not enter into a separate forward TBA contract to offset the fair value risk as the investor accepts such risk in exchange for paying a lower premium on sale.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments on the Balance Sheet
All derivatives are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivative assets are classified in the consolidated balance sheet under other assets, and derivative liabilities are classified in the consolidated balance sheet under other liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. None of Wesbanco’s derivatives are designated in a qualifying hedging relationship under ASC 815.
The table below presents the fair value of Wesbanco’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Balance Sheet as of
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
Wesbanco has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision, which provides that if Wesbanco defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then Wesbanco could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
Wesbanco also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if Wesbanco fails to maintain its status as either a “well” or “adequately-capitalized” institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and Wesbanco would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.
Dependent upon the net present value of the underlying swaps, Wesbanco has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties. Wesbanco has posted net cash collateral with a market value of $
20.4
million as of
September 30, 2025
, while, as of December 31, 2024, Wesbanco was holding net cash collateral from various derivative counterparties totaling $
42.6
million within interest bearing deposit accounts. If Wesbanco had breached any of these provisions at
September 30, 2025
, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value and would have been required to pay any additional amounts due in excess of amounts previously posted as collateral with the respective counterparties.

NOTE 10. 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. 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.
Loans held for sale:
Loans held for sale are carried, in aggregate, at fair value as Wesbanco previously elected the fair value option. 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.
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 derivatives 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 economically 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 enters into forward TBA contracts to manage the interest rate risk between the loan commitments to the customer and the closing of the loan for loans that will be sold on a mandatory basis to secondary market investors. The forward TBA contract 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’s earnings as mortgage banking income.
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 own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements, and therefore both the derivative asset and derivative liability are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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.
Collateral dependent loans:
Collateral dependent loans are carried at the amortized cost basis less the specific allowance calculated under the Current Expected Credit Losses Accounting Standard. Collateral dependent loans are calculated using a cost basis approach or collateral value approach, and therefore are 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.
34
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

Wesbanco’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were
no
transfers between level 1, 2 or 3 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The following methods and assumptions were used to measure the fair value of financial instruments recorded at cost on Wesbanco’s consolidated balance sheets (please refer to Footnote 2, "Mergers and Acquisitions" for the methods and assumptions used specifically for the valuation of PFC's assets and liabilities at the acquisition date):
Cash and due from banks:
The carrying amount for cash and due from banks is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Held-to-maturity debt securities:
Fair values for debt securities held-to-maturity are determined in the same manner as investment securities, which are described above. The carrying value is net of the allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities.
37
Net loans:
Fair values for loans are estimated in a valuation model 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 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 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Due to the pooled nature of junior subordinated debt owed to unconsolidated subsidiary trusts, which are not actively traded, estimated fair value is determined by using comparable corporate bond indices and swap rates from the financial services sector and factoring in the applicable credit spreads and optional early redemption provisions.
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.
38
NOTE 11. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Interest income, net securities gains and bank-owned life insurance are not in scope of ASC 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
. For the revenue streams in scope of ASC 606 - trust fees, service charges on deposits, net securities brokerage revenue, payment processing fees, digital banking income, net swap fee and valuation income, mortgage banking income and net gain on other real estate owned and other assets – there are no significant judgments related to the amount and timing of revenue recognition.
The following table summarizes the point of revenue recognition and the income recognized for each of the revenue streams for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Commitments —
In the normal course of business, Wesbanco offers off-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 of non-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
$
7.6
million and $
6.1
million at
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 $
0.4
million and $
0.2
million as of
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Contingent obligations to purchase loans funded by other entities include credit card guarantees, loans sold with recourse as well as obligations to the FHLB. Credit card guarantees are credit card balances not owned by Wesbanco, whereby the Bank guarantees the performance of the cardholder.
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 14. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Wesbanco operates
two
reportable segments: community banking and trust and investment services. Wesbanco’s community banking segment offers a wide range of banking products and services through various delivery channels and business units, including commercial demand, individual demand and time deposit accounts; commercial, mortgage and individual installment loans, and certain non-traditional offerings, such as insurance and securities brokerage services. For purposes of determining the community banking reportable segment, these lines of business are aggregated, in accordance with the review of the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The trust and investment services segment offers trust services as well as various alternative investment products, including mutual funds, and also serves as investment adviser to a family of mutual funds called the “WesMark Funds.” The fund family is comprised of the WesMark Large Company Fund, the WesMark Balanced Fund, the WesMark Small Company Fund, the WesMark Government Bond Fund, the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, and the WesMark Tactical Opportunity Fund. Corporate support functions, which are generally all attributable to the parent company, do not represent a reportable segment and are presented within Corporate Other for purposes of reconciling to the consolidated financials. All of Wesbanco’s revenue is derived from domestic operations, and Wesbanco has no major customers providing greater than
10
% of total segment revenue. Wesbanco’s CODM is its
President and Chief Executive Officer
.
The CODM uses net income as the reported measure of segment profit or loss in making business decisions regarding reinvestment into the Company’s segments, using profits for acquisitions and/or paying dividends to shareholders. In addition, net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results, to perform competitive analysis by benchmarking to peers and as a factor to establish compensation for certain employees. Wesbanco does not have any material intra-entity sales or transfers.
The market value of trust assets totaled approximately $
7.7
billion and $
6.1
billion at
September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These assets are held by Wesbanco in fiduciary or agency capacities and are not included as assets on Wesbanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Therefore, substantially all of Wesbanco’s assets are attributable to the community banking segment.
41
The following tables present selected financial information with respect to Wesbanco’s business segments for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 as received and reviewed on a regular basis by the CODM:

OVERVIEW
Wesbanco is a multi-state bank holding company operating through 251 branches and 267 ATMs in West Virginia, Ohio, western Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Maryland, offering retail banking, corporate banking, personal and corporate trust services, brokerage services, mortgage banking and insurance. Wesbanco’s businesses are significantly impacted by economic factors such as market interest rates, federal monetary and regulatory policies, local and regional economic conditions and the competitive environment’s effect upon Wesbanco’s business volumes. Wesbanco’s deposit levels are affected by numerous factors including personal savings rates, personal income, and competitive rates on alternative investments, as well as competition from other financial institutions within the markets we serve and liquidity needs of Wesbanco. Loan levels are also subject to various factors including construction demand, business financing needs, consumer spending and interest rates, as well as loan terms offered by competing lenders.
ACQUISITION
On February 28, 2025, Wesbanco completed its acquisition of PFC, a bank holding company headquartered in Defiance, OH. For additional information regarding the acquisition, see Note 2, “Mergers and Acquisitions."
FINANCIAL CENTER OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY
Wesbanco’s mission is to deliver financial solutions that empower our customers for success, and that starts with optimizing our financial center network to ensure it reflects where and how our customers want to bank. In addition to closures, this strategy also includes refreshing existing locations, opening new banking centers in select locations within our existing footprint, and continuing to enhance our digital banking offerings. After a careful review of numerous factors, Wesbanco has made the decision to close 27 locations across its legacy markets, a similar number to those closed during the last three years. Based on customer migration to digital channels and proximity to existing centers, deposit attrition is anticipated to be minimal. Net pre-tax savings of approximately $6 million are expected to be phased-in during the first half of 2026. Wesbanco anticipates incurring total non-recurring restructuring charges of approximately $8 million due to the disposition of assets, lease terminations, severance, and other costs associated with the closures, with approximately $7 million recognized during the third quarter. These closures, which are expected to be completed during January 2026, do not include any locations from Wesbanco’s acquisition of PFC.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Wesbanco’s critical accounting policies involving the significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2025 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in Wesbanco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 within the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Non-GAAP net income excludes after-tax restructuring and merger-related expenses. The above non-GAAP financial measures used by Wesbanco provide information useful to investors in understanding Wesbanco’s operating performance and trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of Wesbanco’s peers.
Net interest income increased $95.6 million or 78.9% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter of 2024, reflecting the impact of a larger balance sheet from the PFC acquisition, organic loan growth, higher loan and securities yields, lower FHLB borrowing costs and purchase accounting accretion from acquisitions. The yield on earning assets increased by a total of 39 basis points while the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 42 basis points from the third quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2025. Average loan balances increased by 53.7% from the third quarter of 2024, mainly attributable to the PFC acquisition and organic commercial loan growth, while average securities increased by 28.4% over the same time period. Average deposits increased 55.7% over the same time period as a result of the PFC acquisition and deposit gathering and retention efforts by the retail and commercial teams producing organic deposit growth.
Loan growth and adjustments in regional macroeconomic factors and loan concentrations resulted in a total provision for credit losses of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to a provision of $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2024. Annualized net loan charge-offs, as a percentage of average portfolio loans, were 0.19% and 0.05% for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
For the third quarter of 2025, non-interest income increased $15.3 million, or 51.5% compared to the third quarter of 2024, due primarily to the acquisition of PFC. Service charges on deposits increased $3.2 million year-over-year, reflecting the addition of PFC, fee income from new products and services and treasury management, and increased general consumer spending. Digital banking fees increased $2.2 million from higher volumes primarily associated with our larger customer base. Reflecting record asset levels, trust fees and net securities brokerage revenue increased $1.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, due to the addition of PFC wealth clients, market value appreciation, and organic growth. Bank-owned life insurance increased $1.6 million year-over-year due to the addition of PFC. Gross swap fees were $3.2 million in the third quarter, compared to $1.1 million in the prior year period, while fair value adjustments were a negligible gain as compared to negative adjustment of $1.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, non-interest income increased $31.9 million, or 34.8%, year-over-year to $123.5 million for the same reasons as that for the three months ended, as well as increases in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income increased due to an approximate 30% year-over-year increase in residential mortgage originations primarily related to our larger customer base.
Non-interest expense, excluding restructuring and merger-related costs, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $144.8 million, a $45.6 million, or 46.0%, increase year-over-year primarily due to the addition of the PFC expense base associated with approximately 900 employees and 73 financial centers. Salaries and wages of $60.6 million and employee benefits expense of $18.0 million increased due to higher staffing levels and higher health insurance costs. Amortization of intangible assets of $8.4 million increased $6.4 million year-over-year due to the core deposit intangible asset that was created from the acquisition of PFC. Restructuring and merger-related expenses of $11.4 million are related to costs associated with the financial center optimization and merger-related expenses associated with the PFC merger. Excluding restructuring and merger-related expenses, non-interest expense during the first nine months of 2025 of $404.2 million increased $109.2 million, or 37.0%, compared to the prior year period, due primarily to the expenses described above. Equipment and software expense of $46.5 million reflects the addition of PFC and the additional cost of operating two core systems until the conversion to one platform in mid-May. FDIC insurance expense of $15.5 million increased due to the larger asset size post-acquisition.
For the first nine months of 2025, the effective tax rate was 19.8% as compared to 17.3% for the first nine months of 2024, and the provision for income taxes increased from $21.3 million for the first nine months of 2024 to $32.6 million for the first nine months of 2025. These changes were the result of increased pretax income in 2025 as compared to 2024.

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, primarily deposits and short and long-term borrowings. Net interest income is affected by the general level of, 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 $129.2 million or 60.4% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase in average loans of 53.7% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, due to the acquisition of PFC, strong new organic loan growth, strategic loan production offices and lender hiring initiatives. Total average deposits increased by $7.6 billion or 55.7% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024. The cost of interest bearing deposits decreased by 29 basis points and the cost of total interest bearing liabilities decreased by 42 basis points from the third quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in the cost is primarily due to rate decreases for interest bearing deposits in response to the general decrease in overall deposit rates in the marketplace as well as purchase accounting accretion on certificates of deposit.
Interest income increased $129.2 million or 60.4% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. Average loan balances increased $6.6 billion or 53.7% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, while loan yields increased by 24 basis points during this same period to 6.17% due to the previously mentioned acquisition of PFC and accompanying loan growth of higher yielding loans. Loans provide the greatest impact on interest income and the yield on earning assets as they have the largest balance and the highest yield within major earning asset categories. In the third quarter of 2025, average loans represented 77.6% of average earning assets, an increase from 75.1% in the third quarter of 2024. Average total securities balances increased $1.0 billion or 28.4% from the third quarter of 2024 and represented 18.9% of total earning assets in the third quarter of 2025. Taxable securities yields, which are the highest yields within total securities, increased by 75 basis points in the third quarter of 2025 from the third quarter of 2024. Tax-exempt securities yields increased 17 basis points from the third quarter of 2024.
Interest expense increased $33.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to the acquisition of PFC. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 42 basis points from the third quarter of 2024 to 2.79% in the third quarter of 2025. Average interest bearing deposits increased $6.1 billion or 62.4% from the third quarter of 2024. The rate on interest bearing deposits decreased 29 basis points to 2.56% from the third quarter of 2024. Average non-interest bearing demand deposit balances increased from the third quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2025 by $1.5 billion or 38.6%, and were 24.9% of total average deposits at September 30, 2025, compared to 28.0% at September 30, 2024, due to the PFC acquisition and reflecting customers' preferences in the current interest rate environment. For the third quarter of 2025, Wesbanco's average loans to average deposits ratio was 89.4%, reflecting additional capacity to lend. The average balance of FHLB borrowings increased $244.0 million from the third quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2025. The average balance of repurchase agreements and subordinated and junior subordinated debt balances increased $67.1 million from the third quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2025.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES – LOANS AND LOAN COMMITMENTS
The provision for credit losses – loans is the amount to be added to the allowance for credit losses – loans after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level considered appropriate to absorb lifetime expected losses for all portfolio loans. The provision for credit losses – loan commitments is the amount to be added to the allowance for credit losses for loan commitments to bring that allowance to a level considered appropriate to absorb lifetime expected losses on unfunded loan commitments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Wesbanco recorded a provision for credit losses of $74.2 million, which was an increase of $54.8 million, compared to the provision for credit losses of $19.4 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the $59.4 million in initial provision expense recorded for the PFC acquired loans. As compared to the same period in the prior year, the increase in provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, outside of the initial provision expense recorded for the PFC non-PCD acquired loans, primarily reflects an increase in the reserve for individually evaluated loans, the impact of continued uncertainty in the economic outlook on certain commercial portfolios, and an increase in the Bank’s percentage of criticized and classified loans.
Non-performing loans were 0.50% of total portfolio loans as of September 30, 2025, increasing from 0.24% of total portfolio loans at September 30, 2024. Criticized and classified loans were 3.22% of total portfolio loans as of September 30, 2025, increasing from 2.36% as of September 30, 2024, due to downgrades within the loan portfolio. Past due loans at September 30, 2025 were 0.53% of total portfolio loans, compared to 0.44% at September 30, 2024. Annualized net loan charge-offs were 0.12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 0.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Please see the Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans and Loan Commitments section of this MD&A for additional discussion.

Non-interest income is a significant source of revenue and an important part of Wesbanco’s results of operations, as it represents 17.2% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Wesbanco offers its customers a wide range of retail, commercial, investment and digital banking services, which are viewed as a vital component of Wesbanco’s ability to attract and maintain customers, as well as providing additional fee income beyond normal spread-related income to Wesbanco. For the third quarter of 2025, non-interest income increased $15.3 million or 51.5% compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to a $3.9 million increase in net swap fee and valuation income, a $3.2 million increase in service charges on deposits, a $2.2 million increase in digital banking income, a $1.6 million increase in bank-owned life insurance, a $1.5 million increase in trust fees, a $0.8 million increase in other income, and a $0.6 million increase in mortgage banking income.
Trust fees increased $1.5 million or 19.6% compared to the third quarter of 2024, due to the addition of PFC wealth clients, market value appreciation, and organic growth. Total trust assets were $7.7 billion as of September 30, 2025 as compared to $6.1 billion at September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, trust assets include managed assets of $6.0 billion and non-managed (custodial) assets of $1.7 billion. Assets managed for the WesMark Funds, a proprietary group of mutual funds that is advised by Wesbanco Trust and Investment Services, were $0.9 billion as of September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, and are included in managed assets. Trust fees increased $4.4 million or 19.4% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024 for similar reasons as that for the three months ended.
Service charges on deposits increased $3.2 million or 40.5% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, due to the addition of PFC, fee income from new products and services, including treasury management services, and increased general consumer spending.
Service charges on deposits increased $8.4 million or 38.4% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 for similar reason as that for the three months ended.
Digital banking income increased $2.2 million or 44.1% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, due to higher volumes primarily associated with our larger customer base.
Digital banking income increased $5.2 million or 35.2% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 for similar reason as that for the three months ended.
Net swap fee and valuation income, which includes fair value adjustments, increased $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, mostly due to an increase in swap fee income from the execution or renewal of new swaps. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, new swaps executed of $289.1 million in notional principal resulted in $3.2 million of fee income as compared to new swaps executed of $72.8 million in notional principal, resulting in $1.1 million of fee income for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Fair value adjustments on existing swaps for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were immaterial compared to negative $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
For the first nine months of 2025, net swap fee and valuation income increased by $2.2 million or 82.0% from the first nine months of 2024. During this time period, new swap fee income increased by $3.0 million, but was partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in fair value adjustments on existing swaps.
Bank-owned life insurance increased $1.6 million or 73.3% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, due to the addition of PFC. Bank-owned life insurance increased $3.6 million or 51.4% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 for similar reasons as that for the three months ended.
Mortgage banking income increased $0.6 million or 48.3% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, due to an approximate 30% year-over-year increase in residential mortgage originations related to seasonality and our larger customer base. For the third quarter of 2025, total mortgage production was $244.0 million, which increased by 45.9% from the third quarter of 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, $126.2 million in mortgages were sold into the secondary market as compared to $84.9 million in the comparable 2024 period. Included in mortgage
51
banking income above is a loss of $0.6 million from the fair value adjustments on mortgage loan commitments and related derivatives for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Mortgage banking income increased by $2.4 million or 77.6% from the first nine months of 2025 to the first nine months of 2024 for similar reasons as that for the three months ended.
Other income increased $0.8 million or 56.1% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, due primarily to an increase in credit card income and all other fees. Other income increased $2.9 million or 60.3% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to similar reasons as that for the three months ended.

Non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2025 increased $55.0 million or 54.4% as compared to the same quarter in 2024, principally from a $15.7 million increase in salaries and wages, a $9.4 million increase in
restructuring and merger-related expenses, a $6.5 million increase in employee benefits, a $6.4 million increase in amortization of intangible assets, a $6.2 million increase in
equipment and software expense, a $2.6 million increase in net occupancy, a $2.2 million increase in FDIC insurance, and a $2.1 million increase in professional fees.
Salaries and wages increased $15.7 million or 35.0% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 mostly due to an increase from the incorporation of approximately 900 PFC employees. Salaries and wages increased $37.4 million or 28.4% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024 due to similar reasons as that for the three months ended.
Employee benefits increased $6.5 million or 56.6% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to higher staffing levels and higher health insurance costs. Similarly, employee benefits expense increased $15.6 million or 45.5% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024.
Net occupancy increased $2.6 million or 41.7% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to an increase in general building maintenance, lease payments, utilities, and depreciation primarily from the acquisition of PFC which added 73 branches. Similarly, net occupancy increased $5.6 million or 29.0% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024.
Equipment and software costs increased $6.2 million or 60.6% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, due primarily to continued improvements made in automating and enhancing processes as well as increases in volume based costs attributable to a larger customer base following the PFC acquisition.
Similarly, equipment and software costs increased $15.9 million or 51.9% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024 due to the addition of PFC and the additional cost of operating two core systems until the conversion to one platform in mid-May.
FDIC insurance increased $2.2 million or 61.5% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to our larger asset size from the PFC acquisition. Similarly, FDIC insurance increased $4.9 million or 46.4% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024.
Amortization of intangible assets increased $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to the core deposit intangible asset and the trust relationship intangible asset that was created from the acquisition of PFC.
Similarly, amortization of intangible assets increased $15.6 million in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024.
52
Restructuring and merger-related expenses increased $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to costs associated with the previously mentioned financial center optimization and to a lesser extent, additional expenses incurred for the acquisition of PFC.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, restructuring and merger-related expenses increased $66.7 million from the same period in 2024 due primarily to expenses incurred for the acquisition of PFC.
Professional fees increased $2.1 million or 45.2% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, due to
increases in legal fees, other professional fees, consulting fees, swap fee expense, and consumer loan, retail loan, and business loan origination fees, generally resulting from higher volumes due to the acquisition of PFC. Similarly, professional fees increased $4.8 million or 33.4% in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024.
INCOME TAXES
On July 4, 2025, new tax legislation referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into law by the federal government. The tax provisions of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on Wesbanco's income tax expense. The provision for income taxes was $19.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a provision of $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the provision for income taxes is due to pretax income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, exceeding that for the three months ended September 30, 2024 by $58.5 million. For similar reasons, the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $32.6 million, which increased $11.3 million from the $21.3 million provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased 47.3%, while shareholders' equity increased 47.5% at September 30, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024. Total securities increased $1.0 billion or 30.4% from December 31, 2024, to September 30, 2025, as a result of the PFC acquisition. In addition, approximately $775 million of lower coupon or variable rate PFC securities were sold and replaced with approximately $475 million of longer-term, higher coupon fixed rate securities. Total portfolio loans were $18.9 billion, which increased $6.3 billion or 49.6% since December 31, 2024, driven by acquired PFC loans of $5.9 billion and organic growth of $0.6 billion, stemming from the commercial teams. Deposits increased $7.2 billion or 50.6% from December 31, 2024, reflecting the addition of $6.9 billion of PFC deposits, which included $1.3 billion in certificates of deposit. At September 30, 2025, total demand deposits represented 48% of total deposits, with the non interest-bearing component representing 25%. Total FHLB borrowings increased $275.0 million or 27.5% during the first nine months of 2025, due to the addition of borrowings from PFC and normal liquidity needs. Shareholders' equity increased $1.3 billion or 47.5% from December 31, 2024, to September 30, 2025 due primarily to the capital impact of the acquisition of PFC, the issuance of preferred stock totaling $0.2 billion, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Weighted average yields have been calculated on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%.
Total investment securities, which are a source of liquidity for Wesbanco as well as a contributor to interest income, increased by $1.0 billion or 30.4% from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025. Through the first nine months of the year, the available-for-sale portfolio increased by $1.0 billion or 45.5%, primarily due to $1.2 billion in securities acquired in the PFC acquisition and $1.1 billion in purchases, offset by $876.9 million in sales, $431.0 million in paydowns, maturities and calls and a decrease of $92.7 million in unrealized losses. The held-to-maturity portfolio decreased by $2.4 million or 0.2% due primarily to maturities and calls of municipal securities. The weighted average yield of the portfolio increased 65 basis points from 2.67% at December 31, 2024 to 3.32% at September 30, 2025, primarily due to the acquired PFC securities at higher yields and purchases at current higher market rates.
Total gross unrealized securities losses decreased $115.8 million from $441.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $325.9 million at September 30, 2025. The decrease in unrealized losses from December 31, 2024 was due to a decrease in market rates in 2025 to date, causing market prices to increase. Wesbanco believes that none of the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2025 require an allowance for credit losses. Please refer to Note 4, “Securities,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Wesbanco does not have any investments in private mortgage-backed securities or those that are collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, nor does Wesbanco have any exposure to collateralized debt obligations or government-sponsored enterprise preferred stocks.
54
Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $153.4 million and $223.8 million, respectively. These net unrealized pre-tax losses represent temporary fluctuations resulting from changes in market rates in relation to fixed yields in the available-for-sale portfolio, and on an after-tax basis are accounted for as an adjustment to other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Net unrealized pre-tax losses in the held-to-maturity portfolio, which are not accounted for in other comprehensive income, were $108.0 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $146.1 million at December 31, 2024. With approximately 25% of the investment portfolio in the held-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 available-for-sale category.
Equity securities, of which a portion consists of investments in various mutual funds held in grantor trusts formed in connection with a key officer and director deferred compensation plan, are recorded at fair value. Gains and losses due to fair value fluctuations on equity securities are included in net securities gains or losses. For those equity securities relating to the key officer and director deferred compensation plan, the corresponding change in the obligation to the employee is recognized in employee benefits expense.
The corporate and municipal bonds in Wesbanco’s held-to-maturity debt portfolio are analyzed quarterly to determine if an allowance for current expected credit losses is warranted. Wesbanco uses a database of historical financials of all corporate and municipal issuers and actual historic default and recovery rates on rated and non-rated transactions to estimate expected credit losses on an individual security basis. The expected credit losses are adjusted quarterly and are recorded in an allowance for expected credit losses on the balance sheet, which is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the held-to-maturity portfolio as a contra asset. The losses are recorded on the consolidated income statement in the provision for credit losses. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities, which was $8.3 million and $8.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Held-to-maturity investments in U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies as well as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, which are all either issued by a direct governmental entity or a government-sponsored entity, have no historical evidence supporting expected credit losses; therefore, Wesbanco has estimated these losses at zero, and will monitor this assumption in the future for any economic or governmental policies that could affect this assumption.
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 10, “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 CRE loans and other 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 7.
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 the impact on the Bank’s earnings and capital.
Commercial loan risk grades are determined based on an evaluation of the relevant characteristics of each loan, assigned at inception 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 sufficiency, reliability and sustainability of the primary source of repayment and overall financial strength of the borrower. The rating system more heavily weights the debt service coverage, leverage and loan-to-value factors to derive the risk grade. Other factors that are considered at a lesser weighting include management, industry or property-type risks, payment history, collateral and personal guarantees.

Loans are presented gross of the allowance for loan credit losses – loans and net of unearned income, credit valuation adjustments, and unamortized net deferred loan fee income and loan origination costs.
Total portfolio loans increased $6.3 billion or 49.6% from December 31, 2024, and have increased $6.5 billion or 52.0% over the past twelve months. While most of the increase is due to the PFC acquisition, with attributable portfolio loans totaling $5.9 billion as of September 30, 2025, organic growth has occurred as well. Excluding PFC loans at acquisition, organic loans increased $0.4 billion or 2.9% since December 31, 2024 and $0.6 billion or 4.6% year-over-year. Originations for loans continue to outpace repayments, leading to organic growth in several loan categories over the past twelve months, including 14.1% in home equity lines of credit, 12.9% in commercial real estate ("CRE") land and construction loans, 6.2% in CRE improved property and 2.9% in commercial and industrial. Organic residential real estate has decreased slightly at 1.5%, while consumer loans have decreased 38.4%.
Total loan commitments of $6.4 billion, including loans approved but not closed, increased $1.7 billion or 35.2% from December 31, 2024 due primarily to increased lines of credit from the PFC acquisition. The average line utilization percentage for the commercial portfolio was 38.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 35.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
The commercial portfolio is monitored for potential concentrations of credit risk by market, type of lending, CRE property type, C&I and owner-occupied CRE by industry, investment CRE dependence on common tenants and industries or property types that are similarly impacted by external factors. The breakdown for all CRE – improved property is 29% owner-occupied and 71% investor-owned. The Bank has instituted additional monitoring of the office building portfolio, as remote work has put pressure on the need for dedicated office space in certain markets. The office

portfolio breakdown within CRE – improved property is 35% owner-occupied and 65% investor-owned. Investor-owned office buildings represent 3.0% of the total loan portfolio.
Loans held for sale at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include originated residential mortgages that are committed to be sold into the secondary market and also include residential construction loans as of September 30, 2025. Loans held for sale were $126.0 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $107.3 million from December 31, 2024.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND LOANS PAST DUE 90 DAYS OR MORE
Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, other real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure, bank premises held for sale, and repossessed automobiles acquired to satisfy defaulted consumer loans.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES - LOANS AND LOAN COMMITMENTS
As of September 30, 2025, the total allowance for credit losses – loans and commitments was $225.3 million, of which $217.7 million related to loans and $7.6 million related to loan commitments. The allowance for credit losses – loans was 1.15% of total portfolio loans as of September 30, 2025, compared to 1.10% as of December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses – loans individually-evaluated increased $7.1 million from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, the population of individually-evaluated loans consisted of eight relationships, with a total outstanding loan balance of $56.7 million. The allowance for loans collectively-evaluated increased from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025 by $71.8 million, primarily due to the total allowance for credit losses related to the PFC acquisition. As of September 30, 2025, PCD loans from the PFC acquisition accounted for $8.3 million of the allowance for loans collectively-evaluated. The allowance for credit losses- loan commitments was $7.6 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to $6.1 million as of December 31, 2024, 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” of 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 credit losses under the current expected credit losses ("CECL") methodology is calculated utilizing the probability of default (“PD”) divided by the loss given default (“LGD”), which is then discounted to net present value. PD is the probability the asset will default within a given time frame and LGD is the percentage of the asset not expected to be collected due to default. The primary macroeconomic drivers of the quantitative model include forecasts of national unemployment and interest rates, as well as modeling adjustments for changes in prepayment speeds, portfolio mix, concentrations and loan growth. For the calculation as of September 30, 2025, the forecast was based upon a probability weighted approach which is designed to incorporate loss projections from a baseline, upside and downside economy. Due to the nonlinearity of credit losses to the economy, the asymmetry is best captured by evaluating multiple economic scenarios through a probability weighted approach. At quarter-end, national unemployment was projected to be 4.7% and subsequently increase to an average of 5.3% over the remainder of the forecast period. From December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses – loans increased by $78.9 million. The increase was primarily driven by the PFC acquisition. Additional factors which contributed to the increase include quarterly changes to the economic drivers of the quantitative model, including changes to the portfolio mix.
Criticized and classified loans were 3.22% of total portfolio loans, or $609.0 million, at September 30, 2025, increasing from 2.80% of total portfolio loans, or $354.7 million, at December 31, 2024. See Note 5, “Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses” for more information.

Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated as described in Table 10, the total allowance is available to absorb actual losses in any category of the loan portfolio. However, differences between management’s estimation of probable losses and actual net charge-offs in subsequent periods for any category may necessitate future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses applicable to the category. Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate to absorb expected losses at September 30, 2025.

Deposits, which represent Wesbanco’s primary source of funds, are offered in various account forms at various rates through Wesbanco’s 251 financial centers. The FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000 per account owner.
Total deposits increased $7.2 billion or 50.6% during the first nine months of 2025. Money market deposit accounts, demand deposits, and savings deposits increased 101.7%, 35.4%, and 32.9%, respectively. The net increase in deposits is attributable to acquired PFC deposits totaling $6.9 billion and reflects the benefit of deposit gathering and retention efforts by both retail and commercial teams. Deposit balances were also impacted by 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. In addition, Wesbanco also participates in the Insured Cash Sweep ("ICS®") deposit program. ICS® reciprocal balances totaled $2.0 billion and $1.3 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, ICS® one-way buys totaled $150.4 million and $200.6 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Certificates of deposit increased 69.7% from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025 due primarily to the PFC acquisition. Wesbanco does not generally solicit brokered or other deposits out-of-market or over the internet but does participate in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services ("CDARS®") program. CDARS® balances totaled $69.2 million in outstanding balances at September 30, 2025, of which $1.1 million represented one-way buys, compared to $49.8 million in total outstanding balances, none of which represented one-way buys, at December 31, 2024. Certificates of deposit greater than $250,000 were approximately $841.3 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $442.8 million at December 31, 2024. Certificates of deposit totaling approximately $2.7 billion at September 30, 2025 with a cost of 3.64% are scheduled to mature within the next 12 months. From time to time, the Bank may offer special promotions or match competitor rates on certain certificates of deposit maturities and savings products based on competition, sales strategies, liquidity needs and wholesale borrowing costs.

While borrowings are a significant source of funding for Wesbanco, they are less significant as compared to total deposits. FHLB borrowings increased $275.0 million from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025, as $1.2 billion in new advances and $500.0 million in advances from the PFC acquisition were partially offset by $1.4 billion in maturities. The average cost of maturing FHLB advances for the first nine months of 2025 was 4.64% while the average cost of new borrowings was 4.59%.
Other short-term borrowings, which may consist of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and overnight sweep checking accounts were $113.5 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $192.1 million at December 31, 2024. There were no outstanding federal funds purchased at either September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Subordinated debentures and junior subordinated debt increased $79.1 million to $358.4 million at September 30, 2025, primarily as a result of subordinated debentures totaling $49.1 million and junior subordinated debt totaling $31.7 million from the PFC acquisition.
59
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders' equity increased $1.3 billion or 47.5% from December 31, 2024, to $4.1 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase resulted from $1.0 billion in common stock issued in the PFC acquisition, a $224.4 million preferred stock issuance, net of issuance costs, $132.0 million in net earnings, and a $70.0 million other comprehensive gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which were partially offset by the declaration of common and preferred shareholder dividends totaling $105.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Wesbanco also increased its quarterly dividend rate $0.01 per quarter to $0.37 per share in November 2024, representing a 2.8% increase over the prior quarterly rate and a cumulative 164% increase since 2010.
On September 10, 2025, Wesbanco raised $230 million of Series B preferred stock, considered Tier 1 capital, through the issuance of 9,200,000 depositary shares, which are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “WSBCO”. Wesbanco expects to use approximately $150 million of the net proceeds from this offering to redeem in full its outstanding Series A Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and approximately $50 million of the net proceeds to redeem in full its outstanding 4.0% Fixed-To-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due September 30, 2030, which were assumed in connection with its acquisition of PFC.
Wesbanco did not purchase any shares of its common stock on the open market during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 under the current share repurchase authorization. At September 30, 2025, the remaining shares authorized to be purchased under the last approved repurchase plan totaled 911,118 shares.
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, 2025, 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, 2025, under FDIC regulations, Wesbanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, a dividend of approximately $401.3 million from the Bank.
On March 26, 2020, regulators issued interim financial rule (“IFR”) “Regulatory Capital Rule: Revised Transition of the Current Expected Losses Methodology for Allowances” in response to the disrupted economic activity from the spread of COVID-19. The IFR provides financial institutions that adopt CECL during 2020 with the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided by the initial two-year delay (“five-year transition”). Wesbanco adopted CECL effective January 1, 2020 and elected to implement the five-year transition. The five year transition ended on January 1, 2025.

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 its on- and off-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”) with direct oversight from the Board of Directors ("BOD").
Wesbanco determines the degree of required liquidity by the relationship of total holdings of liquid assets to potential funding needs 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 managing Wesbanco’s investment portfolio. 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 68.0% at September 30, 2025 and deposit balances funded 77.3% of assets.

Deposit cash flows are another principal factor affecting overall Wesbanco liquidity. Deposits totaled $21.3 billion at September 30, 2025. Deposit cash 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 $2.7 billion at September 30, 2025, with a weighted average cost of 3.64%, which includes jumbo regular certificates of deposit totaling $1.6 billion with a weighted-average cost of 3.81%, and jumbo CDARS® certificates of deposit of $65.3 million with a weighted-average cost of 3.89%. Wesbanco had $1.1 million brokered one-way buys at September 30, 2025.
Uninsured deposits, as reported for regulatory purposes, totaled $7.1 billion at September 30, 2025, or 33% of total deposits. Uninsured deposits include $2.4 billion of public funds deposits that are over the FDIC-insured limit. Wesbanco secures these public funds deposits by pledging investment securities with a market value at or above the deposit balance. Excluding these public funds, at September 30, 2025, uninsured deposits were $4.7 billion, or 21% of total deposits. Wesbanco maintains a line of credit with the FHLB as an additional funding source. Available credit with the FHLB approximated $6.6 billion and $3.7 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. 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 unpledged securities. Wesbanco can also use this line of credit for pledging collateral to cover public funds deposits, as an alternative to pledging securities from the investment portfolio. At September 30, 2025, the Bank had unpledged available-for-sale securities with an estimated fair value of $760.1 million, or 23.6% of the total available-for-sale portfolio. A portion of these securities could be sold for additional liquidity, or such securities could be pledged to secure additional FHLB borrowings. Approximately 63% of the portfolio is pledged to public deposit customers. Wesbanco monitors exposure to public funds deposits in relation to pledging requirements and provides ICS® deposits via IntraFi® as a solution for a portion of new and existing public fund depositors. In addition, at September 30, 2025, the Bank had unpledged held-to-maturity securities with an estimated fair value of $630.5 million. Approximately 98%, or $618.4 million of these securities are municipal securities, which can only be pledged in limited circumstances. Generally, these securities cannot be sold without tainting the remainder of the held-to-maturity portfolio. If tainting occurs, all remaining securities with the held-to-maturity designation would be required to be reclassified as available-for-sale, and the held-to-maturity designation would not be available to Wesbanco for a period of time.
Wesbanco participates in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Borrower-in-Custody Program (“BIC”) whereby Wesbanco pledges certain consumer loans as collateral for borrowings. Wesbanco did not have any BIC borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2025. Alternative funding sources may include the utilization of existing overnight lines of credit with third party banks totaling $235.0 million, none of which was outstanding at September 30, 2025, along with seeking other lines of credit, borrowings under repurchase agreement lines, increasing deposit rates to attract additional funds, accessing brokered deposits, or selling securities available-for-sale or certain types of loans.
Other short-term borrowings of $113.5 million at September 30, 2025 consisted of repurchase agreements or overnight sweep checking accounts for large commercial customers. Other short-term borrowings may also include federal funds purchased using the Federal Reserve's discount window or lines of credit with third party banks noted above. The overnight sweep checking accounts require U.S. Government securities to be pledged equal to or greater than the average deposit balance in the related customer accounts.
The principal sources of parent company liquidity are dividends from the Bank and $347.2 million in cash and investments on hand. 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, 2025, under FDIC and State of West Virginia regulations, Wesbanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, dividends of approximately
61
$401.3 million from the Bank. Management believes these are appropriate levels of cash for the parent company 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 $6.4 billion and $4.5 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. On a historical basis, only a portion of these commitments will result in an outflow of funds. Please refer to Note 13, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Loans and Credit Risk” section of this MD&A for additional information.
Federal financial regulatory agencies have previously 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 and that Wesbanco’s current liquidity risk management policies and procedures, as periodically reviewed and adjusted, adequately address this guidance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATI
VE 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 with direct oversight from the BOD is to maximize net interest income within established policy parameters. This objective is accomplished through the management of balance sheet composition and duration, market risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions as well as 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 bond 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 consistency of Wesbanco’s net interest income is largely dependent on effective management of Wesbanco's interest rate risk profile. 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, because variable rate assets and liabilities differ in the timing and/or the magnitude of rate changes, or due to the shape of the yield curve shifting over time.
Wesbanco’s ALCO is an executive management committee with Board representation, responsible for monitoring and managing interest rate risk within approved policy limits, utilizing earnings sensitivity simulation and economic value of equity ("EVE") models. These models are highly dependent on various assumptions, which change regularly as the balance sheet composition and market interest rates change. The key assumptions and strategies employed are analyzed, reviewed and documented at least quarterly by the ALCO as well as provided to the Board.
The earnings sensitivity simulation model projects changes in net interest income resulting from the effects of changes in interest rates. Forecasting changes in net interest income requires management to make certain assumptions regarding loan and security prepayment rates, call dates, changes to deposit product betas and non-maturity deposit decay rates, which may not necessarily reflect the manner in which actual cash flows, yields, and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Assumptions are based on internally-developed models derived from institution specific data, current market rates and economic forecasts, and are internally back-tested and periodically reviewed by an independent third-party consultant. Key assumptions are reviewed quarterly and updated as deemed appropriate by management. No material assumption changes were made by management this period. The net interest income sensitivity results 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 (otherwise known as a "static" balance sheet) and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected immediately and parallel across all tenors of the yield curve, regardless of the duration of the maturity or re-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, particularly in times of stress. In addition, this analysis does not consider actions that management might employ in the future in response to changes in interest rates, as well as changes in earning asset and costing liability balances.
Interest rate risk policy limits are determined by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income over a twelve-month period, assuming immediate and sustained market interest rate increases and decreases of 100 - 400 basis points across the entire yield curve, as compared to a flat rate environment or base model. Wesbanco’s current policy limits this exposure for the noted interest rate changes to a reduction of between 7.5% - 20%, or less, of net interest income from the stable rate base model over a twelve-month period.
The table below indicates Wesbanco’s interest rate sensitivity at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, assuming the above-noted interest rate changes, as compared to a base model.

Net interest income sensitivity changes are primarily due to the impact of incorporating legacy PFC acquired balance sheet into the interest rate risk framework, in addition to the current rate and yield curve environment on base case net interest income and the related calculation of immediate parallel rate shock changes in rising and falling rate scenarios. Additional differences typically result from changes in the various earning assets and costing liabilities mix and growth rates, as well as periodic updates of various modeling assumptions. Generally, weighted average interest bearing non-maturity deposit betas utilized in modeling are 45% in up shocks and 43% in down shocks as the banking industry continues to remain in a high interest rate environment where funding cost pressures have persisted. Deposit betas, decay rates and loan prepayment speeds are adjusted periodically, but no less than annually in our models for non-maturity deposits and loans. Indicated model asset sensitivity in rising rate scenarios may be less than anticipated due to slower prepayment speeds, rate floors, below forecast loan yields, spread compression between new asset yields and funding costs, customer requests for negotiated rates, mortgage-related extension risk and other factors. In a decreasing rate environment, asset sensitivity may have greater impact on the margin than currently modeled as prepayment speeds increase, customers refinance or request rate reductions on existing loans, estimated deposit betas do not perform as modeled, or for other reasons not listed.
In addition to the aforementioned parallel rate shock earnings sensitivity simulation model, the ALCO also reviews a “dynamic” forecast scenario to project Wesbanco's "most likely" net interest income over a rolling two-year time period. This forecast is updated at least quarterly, incorporating revisions and updated assumptions into the model for estimated loan and deposit growth, expected balance sheet re-mixing strategies, changes in forecasted interest rates for various indices and yield curves, competitive market spreads for various products and other assumptions not listed. Such modeling is directionally consistent with typical parallel rate shock scenarios, and it assists in predicting changes in forecasted outcomes and potential adjustments to management plans to assist in achieving earnings goals.
Wesbanco also periodically measures the EVE, which is defined as the market value of tangible equity in various rate scenarios. Generally, changes in the EVE relate to changes in various assets and liabilities, changes in the yield curve, as well as changes in loan prepayment speeds and deposit decay rates. The following table presents these results and Wesbanco’s policy limits as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Changes in EVE sensitivity since year-end 2024 relate to incorporating legacy PFC acquired balance sheet into the interest rate risk framework, in addition to the change in market interest rates and their impact upon the fair values of earning assets and costing liabilities.

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 swap strategies as necessary to lengthen liabilities, offset mismatches in various asset maturities and manage liquidity. CDARS® and ICS® deposits also may be utilized for similar purposes for certain customers seeking higher-yielding instruments or maintaining deposit levels below FDIC insurance limits. Significant balance sheet strategies to assist in managing the net interest margin in the current interest rate environment include:
•
increasing total loans, particularly commercial and home equity loans that have variable or adjustable features;
•
adjusting the percentage of sales of longer-term residential mortgage loan production into the secondary market;
•
managing rates on interest bearing deposits and growing demand deposit account types to increase the relative portion of these account types to total deposits;
•
employing back-to-back loan swaps for certain commercial loan customers desiring a term fixed rate loan equivalent, with the Bank receiving a variable rate;
•
adjusting terms for FHLB short-term maturing borrowings to balance asset/liability mismatches; or paying them off with excess liquidity
•
using CDARS® and ICS® deposit programs to manage funding needs and overall liability mix; and
•
adjusting the size, mix or duration of the investment portfolio as part of liquidity and balance sheet management strategies.

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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-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 Form 10-Q, are effective 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 have been no changes in Wesbanco's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 as required to be reported by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
