ESB was a Pennsylvania thrift holding company with approximately USD2.0 billion in assets and 23 offices in southwestern Pennsylvania. Total assets at December 31, 2015 increased 34.5 percent or USD2.2 billion compared to December 31, 2014, with approximately USD2.0 billion from the acquisition of ESB and USD0.2 billion from organic growth exclusive of ESB.

Organic loan growth occurred in all loan categories, with approximately 15.2 percent of the growth in commercial and industrial loans and 22.0 percent in home equity loans. Loan growth was driven by increased business activity, additional commercial and residential lending personnel in urban markets, focused marketing efforts and continued improvement in loan origination processes. Net interest income increased USD43.8 million or 22.6 percent in 2015 compared to 2014 due to a 29.9 percent increase in average earning assets, primarily through the acquisition, and through a 6.7 percent increase in average loan balances, exclusive of ESB, partially offset by a 20 basis point decrease in the net interest margin. WesBanco is a multi-state bank holding company with total assets of approximately USD8.5 billion, operating in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
