What Happened

• On July 28, 2026, First Commonwealth Financial Corporation announced its financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, via a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K. The company also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share and said its Board authorized an additional $75.0 million share repurchase program. The filing was signed by James R. Reske, Executive VP, CFO and Treasurer.

Key Details

• Dividend: $0.14 per share (quarterly), declared in the July 28, 2026 press release.
• Share repurchase authorization: additional $75.0 million approved by the Board.
• Repurchase methods: may include Rule 10b5-1 plans, open-market purchases, privately negotiated or block transactions, intended to comply with applicable securities laws (including Rule 10b-18).
• Disclosure format: Financial results and earnings tables were furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K (press release).

Why It Matters

• The earnings release provides the company’s latest quarterly results (revenue, earnings, and other financials are in the press release/exhibit), which investors should review to assess performance trends.
• Investors should read Exhibit 99.1 (the July 28 press release) for the specific financial figures and metrics referenced in the 8-K.
