RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LOANS
Period-end pipeline remains strong; quarterly balances stable.

  • Period-end total loans decreased slightly to $11,314.0 million at September 30, 2018 from $11,321.8 million at June 30, 2018.
  • Third quarter commercial loan production was $455.2 million, while period-end pipeline totaled $1.7 billion.

  • Average total loans increased $29.7 million, or 1.1% annualized.    
  • Average commercial and industrial loan growth was $55.0 million, or 7.7% on an annualized basis.

  • On average, total deposits in the third quarter were $12,597.8 million, down from the $12,650.8 million in the second quarter of 2018. 

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN
Controlled deposit costs and higher levels of interest collected on nonaccruals benefited both net interest income and margin in the third quarter.

  • Net interest income decreased to $130.8 million in the third quarter of 2018 from $132.0 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily the result of a smaller balance sheet and slightly lower accretion income.
  • The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased 4 basis points to 3.51% compared to 3.55% in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Accretion income was $7.3 million, or 19 basis points of net interest margin, in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $11.5 million, or 30 basis points of net interest margin, in the second quarter of 2018.  In the third quarter of 2018, accretion income was just 4.1% of adjusted total revenue.
  • The cost of total deposits rose 7 basis points to 0.36% in the third quarter of 2018 while the cost of total interest-bearing deposits rose 8 basis points to 0.49%.

CREDIT QUALITY
Exceptional credit quality remains a hallmark of the Old National franchise.

  • Asset quality remained strong with net charge-offs in the third quarter of $1.7 million, or 0.06% of total average loans, and 30-89 day delinquencies of 0.35%.
  • Provision expense for the third quarter was $0.8 million, reflected limited growth in the commercial portfolio this quarter, stable credit in the organic book, and improvement in acquired loan grades.
  • Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.47%. 
  • In accordance with current accounting practices, the loans acquired from recent acquisitions were recorded at fair value with no allowance recorded at the acquisition date.  As of September 30, 2018, the remaining discount on these acquired loans was $103.1 million.
  • The allowance for loan losses was $52.7 million, or 0.47% of total loans at September 30, 2018.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income declined compared to second quarter and demonstrated normal seasonal patterns in several fee income businesses.

  • Total noninterest income for the third quarter of 2018 was $46.0 million, a decrease of $3.3 million from the second quarter of 2018.
  • Included in noninterest income in the second quarter was a gain of $2.2 million from the sale of Old National’s student loan portfolio.
  • Higher capital markets income (up $1.8 million) was offset by seasonal declines in mortgage banking revenue (down $0.8 million) and wealth management fees (down $0.7 million).
  • Securities gains were $0.1 million, down $1.4 million from the second quarter of 2018.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Third quarter results demonstrated continued discipline with respect to expense management, helping to drive positive operating leverage1.

  • Excluding these items, adjusted noninterest expense for the third quarter was $108.4 million, compared to the $114.5 million in adjusted noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2018. 
  • Adjusted operating leverage1 was +434 basis points in the third quarter compared to a year ago.
  • The third quarter efficiency ratio was 64.71%, while the adjusted efficiency ratio was 58.67%.

INCOME TAXES

  • On a fully taxable-equivalent basis, income tax expense in the third quarter was $8.1 million, resulting in a 13.6% FTE tax rate.

CAPITAL
Strong quarterly earnings drove capital ratios higher.

  • At the end of the third quarter, total risk-based capital was 12.1% and regulatory tier 1 capital was 11.1%.
  • Tangible common equity to tangible assets was 8.08% at the end of the third quarter compared to 7.98% in the second quarter of 2018.
