PITTSBURGH, June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB) is pleased to announce the results of its 2015 company-run capital stress test ("Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test" or "DFAST"). F.N.B. and its subsidiary bank, First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNBPA), are required to disclose the results of the DFAST annually, beginning with the 2015 test.

Results indicate that, even in the severely adverse scenario presented by the test, F.N.B. and FNBPA's capital ratios exceed both the regulatory minimum required ratios mandated under Basel III and the well-capitalized thresholds throughout the nine-quarter time horizon. These results validate the Company's current capital management strategies and management's approach to operating with a low-risk balance sheet.

In accordance with guidelines prescribed by Federal bank regulatory agencies, F.N.B.'s annual stress test results reflect the impact of a hypothetical, severely adverse macroeconomic scenario with respect to the Company's earnings, consolidated losses, revenues, expenses, and balance sheet (including risk-weighted assets). Detailed results can be found at www.fnbcorporation.com under Regulatory Disclosures.

The publication of the severely adverse scenario stress test results by F.N.B. should not be taken as an indication of the Company's present or future performance and investors should not draw any positive or negative inference regarding F.N.B.'s stress test results.
