1st Quarter Results Reported for First Financial Corporation

TERRE HAUTE, IN--(Marketwired - Apr 29, 2013) - First Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: THFF) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net income increased 3.4% to $7.7 million compared to $7.4 million for the same period of 2012. Return on assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 1.05% compared to 1.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2013 was $26.2 million, a decrease of 3.65% from the $27.2 million reported for the same period of 2012. The net interest margin at March 31, 2013 was 4.09%, compared to 4.26% reported at March 31, 2012.

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was $3.0 million. The first quarter of 2013 saw recoveries of loan losses exceed charge-offs by $1.0 million.

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $9.9 and $9.5 million, respectively, a 3.85% increase. Trust fees and income from electronic banking comprised most of the increase.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2013 was $22.2 million compared to $23.4 million in 2012. This decrease of 5.21% is realized largely due to the efficiencies gained from the full transition of the operations of Freestar Bank that was acquired December 30, 2011.
