Fulton Financial Corporation reported net income of $54 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019, and net income of $233 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, for 2019. "Overall, 2019 was another good year for Fulton as we continued to execute on our growth strategies and completed the consolidation of our remaining affiliate banks into Fulton Bank,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman and CEO. “I’m extremely proud of our team’s hard work this year, and continued focus on driving shareholder value. We look forward to 2020 and believe we are well-positioned to continue to advance our strategic priorities.” Net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased 11% to $0.33 in comparison to the $0.37 reported for the third quarter of 2019 and unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2018. The decline in net income from the third quarter of 2019 was primarily the result of a decrease in net interest income and an increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest expense.
