First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. Announces 2016 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

Begins 2017 40% Larger Than a Year Ago


ITASCA, Ill., Jan. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "First Midwest") (NASDAQ:FMBI), the holding company of First Midwest Bank (the "Bank"), today reported results of operations and financial condition for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $20.7 million, or $0.25 per share, compared to $28.4 million, or $0.35 per share, for the third quarter of 2016, and $16.3 million, or $0.21 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Reported results included the following certain significant transactions: acquisition and integration related expenses associated with completed and pending acquisitions (all periods presented), the lease cancellation fee recognized as a result of the Company's planned 2018 corporate headquarters relocation (fourth quarter of 2016), the net gain on the sale-leaseback transaction (third quarter of 2016), and property valuation adjustments related to strategic branch initiatives (fourth quarter of 2015).

Excluding these certain significant transactions, earnings per share (1) was $0.32 for the fourth quarter of 2016, consistent with $0.32 the third quarter of 2016, and increased 10% compared to $0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2015.

FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Generated earnings per share (1) of $0.32; up 10% from the fourth quarter of 2015, and consistent with a strong third quarter of 2016, excluding certain significant transactions.

  • Grew total loans 4% annualized from September 30, 2016.

  • Repaid $115 million of maturing senior notes with proceeds generated from the issuance of $150 million in subordinated notes late in the third quarter of 2016; absorbed approximately $1.5 million in overlapping interest costs.

  • Completed the acquisition of Standard Bancshares, Inc. on January 6, 2017, adding $1.9 billion in loans and $2.1 billion in deposits; absorbed $7.5 million in acquisition and integration related expenses in the fourth quarter of 2016.

  • Announced the decision to relocate corporate headquarters and consolidate certain centralized commercial sales platforms in 2018; absorbed approximately $1.0 million in lease cancellation fees.

FULL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

  • Grew earnings per share to $1.14, up 9% from 2015.

  • Increased fee-based revenues 14% from 2015.

  • Expanded total loans 15% from 2015.

  • Increased average core deposits 11% from 2015.

"Strong performance in 2016 was capped by solid fourth quarter results, reflecting balanced business execution against a backdrop of substantial growth," said Michael L. Scudder, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Away from certain integration and organizational costs attendant to this growth, earnings per share improved 10% and 8% for the quarter and full year versus a year ago. This performance benefited from consistent sales success across major business lines as well as our acquisition of NI Bancshares Corporation in March of 2016. Further, we were very pleased to close on our acquisition of Standard Bancshares, Inc., a $2.3 billion asset financial institution, on January 6, 2017.  As a result, we begin 2017 with $14 billion in assets, 40% larger than we began 2016, and having greatly strengthened our place as the premier commercial bank in metro Chicago."

Mr. Scudder concluded, "Our performance momentum is building amid optimism for improved operating conditions and a transition to higher rates. Continued focus on investing in our colleagues and infrastructure combined with our strong balance sheet leave us well positioned to capitalize on this momentum and operate as a larger more diverse company.  As we do so, we remain centered on those actions which help our clients to achieve financial success, enhance the value of our franchise and inure to the long-term benefit of our shareholders."

(1) Earnings per share, excluding certain significant transactions, is a Non-GAAP financial measure. For details on the calculation, see the sections titled "Non-GAAP Financial Information" and "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" presented later in this release.

(1) Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%. The corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt items is recorded in income tax expense. These adjustments have no impact on net income. For details on the calculation of tax-equivalent net interest income, see the sections titled, "Non-GAAP Financial Information" and "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" presented later in this release.
(2) Includes loans acquired through Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")-assisted transactions subject to loss sharing agreements ("covered loans"), which totaled $23.3 million at December 31, 2016, $24.3 million at September 30, 2016, and $30.8 million at December 31, 2015.
(3) See the Deposit Composition table presented later in this release for average balance detail by category.

Net interest income decreased by 3.2% from the third quarter of 2016 and increased by 12.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. Compared to the third quarter of 2016, the decrease in net interest income resulted mainly from lower acquired loan accretion and higher funding costs related to the issuance of $150.0 million of subordinated notes late in the third quarter of 2016 and the subsequent repayment of $115.0 million of maturing senior notes late in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase in net interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was driven primarily by organic loan growth and the acquisition of interest-earning assets from the NI Bancshares Corporation ("NI Bancshares") transaction, partially offset by higher senior and subordinated debt costs.

Acquired loan accretion contributed $1.8 million, $3.8 million, and $1.3 million to net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2016, the third quarter of 2016, and the fourth quarter of 2015, respectively.

Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the current quarter was 3.44%, decreasing 16 basis points from the third quarter of 2016 and 15 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in tax-equivalent net interest margin compared to the third quarter of 2016 was due primarily to the decline in acquired loan accretion, temporarily higher funding costs related to the timing of the issuance of the aforementioned subordinated notes and the subsequent repayment of the maturing senior notes, and certain leveraging strategies initiated during the second half of 2016 in anticipation of additional liquidity from the January of 2017 closing of the Standard acquisition. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, the decline in net interest margin resulted primarily from organic growth in floating rate loans and higher senior and subordinated debt costs.

For the fourth quarter of 2016, total average interest-earning assets rose $128.0 million from the third quarter of 2016 and $1.5 billion from the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase from both prior periods presented resulted from organic loan growth and security purchases. In addition, the rise in average interest-earning assets compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was impacted by interest-earning assets acquired in the NI Bancshares transaction late in the first quarter of 2016 and the Peoples Bancorp, Inc. ("Peoples") transaction late in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Average funding sources decreased by $52.2 million from the third quarter of 2016 and increased $1.3 billion from the fourth quarter of 2015. Compared to the third quarter of 2016, average funding sources were impacted by the normal seasonal reduction in interest-bearing core deposits, partly offset by the issuance of $150.0 million of subordinated notes late in the third quarter of 2016 in connection with the repayment of $115.0 million of maturing senior notes late in the fourth quarter of 2016. Deposits acquired in the NI Bancshares and Peoples transactions and the addition of $740.1 million of FHLB advances contributed to the increase in average funding sources compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.

Total fee-based revenues of $37.1 million decreased by 3.5% from the third quarter of 2016 and grew by 9.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in fee-based revenues from the third quarter of 2016 was driven primarily by a seasonal decline in service charges on deposit accounts and lower sales of capital market products to commercial clients within other service charges, commissions, and fees. Mortgage banking income for the fourth quarter of 2016 resulted from sales of $85.3 million of 1-4 family mortgage loans in the secondary market, compared to $107.3 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $51.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. In addition, mortgage banking income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was positively impacted by changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, services provided to customers acquired in the NI Bancshares transaction contributed to the majority of the increase in wealth management fees. The rise in card-based fees compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 resulted from higher transaction volumes and services provided to customers acquired in the NI Bancshares transaction.

Total noninterest income of $39.7 million grew 8.9% from the fourth quarter of 2015 and decreased 13.4% from the third quarter of 2016. Other income for the fourth quarter of 2016 includes a net gain of $630,000 from the disposition of a branch property. For the third quarter of 2016, total noninterest income benefitted from a $5.5 million gain recognized as a result of the Company's sale-leaseback transaction.

(1) Total noninterest expense, excluding certain significant transactions, is a Non-GAAP metric. See the Non-GAAP Financial Information discussion for detail.

Total noninterest expense increased by 11.8% and 6.8% compared to the third quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015, respectively. Excluding certain significant transactions, total noninterest expense increased by 3.0% from the third quarter of 2016 and 9.6% from the fourth quarter of 2015.

Compared to the third quarter of 2016, approximately half of the increase in salaries and wages was due to the rise in the Company's stock price, which resulted in higher expenses related to the Company's nonqualified retirement plan, and timing of certain compensation accruals. The rise in advertising and promotions expense from the third quarter of 2016 resulted from the timing of certain advertising costs. Net OREO expense increased from the third quarter of 2016 due primarily to a higher level of valuation adjustments. For the third quarter of 2016, a $400,000 reduction in the reserve for unfunded commitments resulted in lower other expenses compared to the fourth quarter of 2016.

Operating costs associated with the NI Bancshares and Peoples transactions contributed nearly two thirds of the increase in total noninterest expense, excluding certain significant transactions, from the fourth quarter of 2015. These costs primarily occurred within salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense, professional services, advertising and promotions, and other expenses. In addition, compensation costs associated with merit increases, investments in additional talent to support organizational growth, and higher loan remediation costs contributed to the rise compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, a lease cancellation fee of $950,000 was recognized as a result of the Company's planned 2018 corporate headquarters relocation.

Property valuation adjustments of $8.6 million were recognized during the fourth quarter of 2015 on twelve closed branches and seven parcels of land as part of the Company's strategic branch initiatives.

Total loans grew by 4.0% on an annualized basis from September 30, 2016, and 15.3% from December 31, 2015 including loans acquired in the NI Bancshares transaction of $279.7 million, or 11.3% excluding these acquired loans. Compared to the third quarter of 2016, the increase in loans was driven primarily by commercial real estate and 1-4 family mortgages. The rise in construction loans compared to both prior periods was driven primarily by select commercial projects for which permanent financing is expected upon their completion.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, the increase in commercial and industrial loans resulted primarily from broad-based increases within our middle market and sector-based lending business units. Office, retail, and industrial and multi-family loans increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 due to organic growth. The rise in consumer loans compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 resulted from the continued expansion of mortgage and installment loans and the addition of shorter-duration, floating rate home equity loans.

(1) This ratio includes acquired loans that are recorded at fair value through an acquisition adjustment, which incorporates credit risk, as of the acquisition date with
no allowance for credit losses being established at that time. As the acquisition adjustment is accreted into income over future periods, an allowance for credit
losses is established as necessary to reflect credit deterioration.

Total non-performing assets represented 1.11% of total loans and OREO at December 31, 2016, compared to 0.96% at September 30, 2016 and 0.86% at December 31, 2015. Non-accrual loans increased by $15.0 million from September 30, 2016, due primarily to the transfer of a single corporate relationship to non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company has recorded the expected loss and implemented a remediation plan associated with this credit.

Average core deposits were $7.8 billion for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $7.9 billion and $7.0 billion for the third quarter of 2016 and fourth quarter of 2015, respectively. The slight decrease in core deposits compared to the third quarter of 2016 resulted from a normal seasonal decline in average municipal deposits. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, the rise in average core deposits reflects the impact of the $500.5 million of core deposits assumed in the NI Bancshares and Peoples transactions and organic growth.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
 
Capital Ratios
 
  As of
  December 31,
 2016
 September 30,
 2016
 December 31,
 2015
Company regulatory capital ratios :
Total capital to risk-weighted assets  12.23% 12.25% 11.15%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets  9.90% 9.89% 10.28%
Common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") to risk-weighted assets 9.39% 9.38% 9.73%
Tier 1 capital to average assets  8.99% 8.90% 9.40%
Company tangible common equity ratios (1)(2):    
Tangible common equity to tangible assets  8.05% 8.04% 8.59%
Tangible common equity, excluding accumulated other
  comprehensive income ("AOCI"), to tangible assets 
 8.42% 8.16% 8.89%
Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets  8.88% 9.13% 9.29%
 
(1)  These ratios are not subject to formal Federal Reserve regulatory guidance.
 
(2)  Tangible common equity represents common stockholders' equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. For details of the calculation of these ratios,
see the sections titled, "Non-GAAP Financial Information" and "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" presented later in this release.

Overall, the Company's regulatory capital ratios modestly improved compared to September 30, 2016. The reduction in the Company's Tier 1 and CET1 capital ratios compared to December 31, 2015 resulted mainly from the impact of the NI Bancshares transaction in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in total capital to risk-weighted assets compared to December 31, 2015 resulted primarily from the issuance of $150.0 million of subordinated notes during the third quarter of 2016, which more than offset the impact of the NI Bancshares transaction.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share during the fourth quarter of 2016, which is consistent with the third quarter of 2016. The dividend increased from $0.08 to $0.09 per common share during the first quarter of 2015.

Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead express only management's beliefs regarding future results or events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of management's control. It is possible that actual results and events may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results or events indicated in these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and First Midwest cautions you not to place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this press release, and First Midwest undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release to reflect new information or events or conditions after the date hereof.

Forward-looking statements may be deemed to include, among other things, statements relating to our future financial performance, the performance of our loan or securities portfolio, the expected amount of future credit reserves or charge-offs, corporate strategies or objectives, anticipated trends in our business, regulatory developments, acquisition transactions, including estimated synergies, cost savings and financial benefits of pending or consummated transactions, including First Midwest's acquisition of Standard Bancshares, Inc., and growth strategies, including possible future acquisitions. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. For a discussion of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should refer to the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as well as our subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and general practices within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP performance results, which the Company believes are useful because they assist investors in assessing the Company's operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include earnings per share ("EPS"), excluding certain significant transactions, the efficiency ratio, total non-interest expense, excluding certain significant transactions, return on average assets, excluding certain significant transactions, tax-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components), tax-equivalent net interest margin, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, to tangible assets, tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets, return on average tangible common equity, and return on average tangible common equity, excluding certain significant transactions.

The Company presents EPS, the efficiency ratio, total noninterest expense, return on average assets, and return on average tangible common equity, all excluding certain significant transactions. All of these metrics exclude acquisition and integration related expenses, the net gain on the sale-leaseback transaction, the lease cancellation fee, and property valuation adjustments. Management believes excluding these transactions from EPS, the efficiency ratio, total noninterest expense, return on average assets, and return on average tangible common equity are useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance since these transactions do not pertain to its core business operations and their exclusion facilitates better comparability between periods. Management believes that excluding acquisition and integration related expenses from these metrics is useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since these expenses can vary significantly based on the size, type, and structure of each acquisition. Additionally, management believes excluding these transactions from these metrics enhances comparability for peer comparison purposes.

The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income and net interest margin recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate. Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and that it enhances comparability for peer comparison purposes.

In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from stockholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity.

Although intended to enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. See the previously provided tables and the following reconciliations in the "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" section for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.

Footnotes to Selected Financial Information
(1) See the "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" section for the detailed calculation.
(2) Annualized based on the actual number of days for each period presented.
(3) Presented on a tax-equivalent basis, which reflects federal and state tax benefits.
(4) Excludes covered loans and covered OREO.
(5) This ratio includes acquired loans that are recorded at fair value through an acquisition adjustment, which incorporates credit risk as of the acquisition date with no allowance for credit losses being established at that time. As the acquisition adjustment is accreted into income over future periods, an allowance for credit losses is established on acquired loans as necessary to reflect credit deterioration.
(6) Certain significant transactions include acquisition and integration related expenses associated with completed and pending acquisitions, the lease cancellation fee recognized as a result of the Company's planned 2018 corporate headquarters relocation, the net gain on the sale-leaseback transaction, and property valuation adjustments related to strategic branch initiatives.
