First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. Announces 2019 Second Quarter Results

Globe Newswire 23-Jul-2019 5:35 PM

CHICAGO, July 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "First Midwest"), the holding company of First Midwest Bank (the "Bank"), today reported results of operations and financial condition for the second quarter of 2019. Net income for the second quarter of 2019 was $47.0 million, or $0.43 per share, compared to $46.1 million, or $0.43 per share, for the first quarter of 2019, and $29.6 million, or $0.29 per share, for the second quarter of 2018.

(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 21%. The corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt items is recorded in income tax expense. These adjustments have no impact on net income. See the "Non-GAAP Financial Information" section presented later in this release for a discussion of this non-GAAP financial measure.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2019 was up 8.1% and 18.0% compared to the first quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2018, respectively. The rise in net interest income from both prior periods resulted primarily from the acquisition of interest-earning assets from the Bridgeview transaction in the second quarter of 2019, higher acquired loan accretion, security purchases, and loan growth, partially offset by higher cost of funds. In addition, net interest income for the second quarter of 2019 benefited from an increase in the number of days in the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2019. Compared to the second quarter of 2018, the rise in net interest income was also impacted by the acquisition of interest-earning assets from the Northern States Financial Corporation ("Northern States") transaction in the fourth quarter of 2018 and higher interest rates.

Acquired loan accretion contributed $10.3 million, $6.4 million, and $4.4 million to net interest income for the second quarter of 2019, the first quarter of 2019, and the second quarter of 2018, respectively.

Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the current quarter was 4.06%, increasing 2 basis points from the first quarter of 2019 and 15 basis points from the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of acquired loan accretion, tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.78%, down 8 basis points from the first quarter of 2019 and up one basis point from the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in tax-equivalent net interest margin, adjusted compared to the first quarter of 2019 was impacted by compression related to the mix of interest-earning assets acquired in the Bridgeview transaction, actions taken to reduce rate sensitivity, and higher cost of funds. These items were more than offset by higher interest rates compared to the second quarter of 2018.

For the second quarter of 2019, total average interest-earning assets rose by $916.7 million and $1.8 billion from the first quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2018, respectively. The increase compared to both prior periods resulted primarily from the Bridgeview transaction in the second quarter of 2019, security purchases, and loan growth. In addition, the rise in average interest-earning assets compared to the second quarter of 2018 was impacted by the Northern States transaction.

Total average funding sources for the second quarter of 2019 increased by $933.2 million and $1.7 billion from the first quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2018, respectively. The increase compared to both prior periods resulted primarily from the Bridgeview transaction in the second quarter of 2019 and organic growth. In addition, the rise in average funding sources compared to the second quarter of 2018 was impacted by the Northern States transaction.

Total noninterest income    $ 38,526     $ 34,906     $ 36,947     10.4     4.3  

Total noninterest income of $38.5 million was up 10.4% and 4.3% from the first quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2018, respectively. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts and net card-based fees compared to the first quarter of 2019 was due to seasonally higher volumes and services provided to customers acquired in the Bridgeview transaction. The increase in wealth management fees from the first quarter of 2019 resulted primarily from the positive impact of market rates. Compared to the second quarter of 2018, the increase in wealth management fees was driven primarily by customers acquired in the Northern Oak Wealth Management, Inc. ("Northern Oak") transaction completed during the first quarter of 2019.

Capital market products income fluctuates from quarter to quarter based on the size and frequency of sales to corporate clients.

Mortgage banking income for the second quarter of 2019 resulted from sales of $93.5 million of 1-4 family mortgage loans in the secondary market, compared to $57.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $64.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. Mortgage banking income is also impacted by fluctuations in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which resulted in a decrease to mortgage banking income of $600,000 compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Other income was elevated compared to the second quarter of 2018 due primarily to higher fair value adjustments on equity securities and benefit settlements on bank-owned life insurance.

(1) See the "Non-GAAP Financial Information" section presented later in this release for a discussion of this non-GAAP financial measure.

Total noninterest expense increased 11.8% from the first quarter of 2019 and was consistent with the second quarter of 2018. Noninterest expense for all periods presented was impacted by costs related to implementation of the Delivering Excellence initiative. In addition, the second and first quarters of 2019 were impacted by acquisition and integration related expenses. Excluding these items, noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2019 was $104.2 million, up 6.1% and 5.9% from the first quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2018, respectively.

Operating costs associated with the Bridgeview transaction contributed to noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2019. In addition, operating costs associated with the Northern Oak and Northern States transactions contributed to the increase in noninterest expense compared to the second quarter of 2018. These costs primarily occurred in salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense, professional services, and other expenses.

Compared to the second quarter of 2018, the increase in salaries and employee benefits was also impacted by merit increases, which was more than offset by the ongoing benefits of the Delivering Excellence initiative and lower pension expense. Net occupancy and equipment expense was elevated in the first quarter of 2019 due to higher costs related to winter weather conditions. The increase in professional services from both prior periods was driven mainly by the timing of certain other professional fees associated with organizational growth and higher loan remediation costs and legal fees. Compared to both prior periods, the rise in advertising and promotions expense resulted from higher costs related to marketing campaigns. Net OREO expense for the second quarter of 2018 was impacted by higher levels of operating income. The rise in other expenses compared to the first quarter of 2019 was due to property valuation adjustments and other miscellaneous expenses.

Acquisition and integration related expenses for the second quarter of 2019 resulted primarily from the acquisition of Bridgeview. For the first quarter of 2019, acquisition and integration related expenses resulted from the acquisition of Northern States, Northern Oak, and Bridgeview.

Delivering Excellence implementation costs for all periods presented resulted from certain actions initiated by the Company in connection with its Delivering Excellence initiative and include property valuation adjustments on locations identified for closure, employee severance, and general restructuring and advisory services.

Loan growth in all categories was positively impacted by the Bridgeview acquisition in the second quarter of 2019, which totaled $692.6 million as of June 30, 2019. Excluding these loans, total loans grew 8.9% annualized from March 31, 2019 and 8.6% from June 30, 2018. In addition, compared to both prior periods, growth in commercial and industrial loans, primarily within our sector-based lending and middle market business units, contributed to the rise in total corporate loans. Commercial real estate loans compared to both prior periods were also impacted by the decision of certain customers to opportunistically sell their commercial business or investment real estate properties, as well as refinancing with non-bank lenders and real estate investors, which more than offset originations. The increase in loans compared to June 30, 2018 also benefitted from the Northern States transaction during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Growth in consumer loans compared to both prior periods resulted primarily from purchases of 1-4 family mortgages and organic growth. Compared to June 30, 2018, growth in consumer loans also benefited from the purchase of installment loans.

(1) Purchased credit impaired loans with an accretable yield are considered current and are not included in past due loan totals.
(2) Foreclosed assets consists of OREO and other foreclosed assets acquired in partial or total satisfaction of defaulted loans. Other foreclosed assets are included in other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
(3) 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 on acquired loans is established as necessary to reflect credit deterioration.

Total non-performing assets represented 0.77% of total loans and foreclosed assets at June 30, 2019 compared to 0.79% and 0.70% at March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, reflective of normal fluctuations that can occur on a quarterly basis. The decrease in non-accrual loans from March 31, 2019 was driven primarily by the transfer of one corporate loan relationship to foreclosed assets during the second quarter of 2019, for which the Company has remediation plans in place. In addition, included in foreclosed assets as of June 30, 2019 was $6.2 million of OREO acquired in the Bridgeview transaction.

The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.85% at June 30, 2019, down from 0.91% at March 31, 2019 and 0.90% at June 30, 2018 driven primarily by loans acquired in the Bridgeview transaction, for which no allowance for credit losses was established at the time of acquisition.

Total average deposits were $12.9 billion for the second quarter of 2019, up 6.3% and 13.7% from the first quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2018, respectively. The increase in total average deposits compared to both prior periods was driven by $566.6 million of total average deposits assumed in the Bridgeview transaction and organic growth. Compared to the first quarter of 2019, the rise in total average deposits was also impacted by the normal seasonal increase in municipal deposits. In addition, growth in total average deposits compared to the second quarter of 2018 was impacted by deposits assumed in the Northern States transaction and various time deposit marketing initiatives.

Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets    10.11 %   10.52 %   10.20 %   10.09 %

Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets    10.11 %   10.29 %   9.81 %   9.16 %

(1) These ratios are not subject to formal Federal Reserve regulatory guidance.
(2) Tangible common equity ("TCE") 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.

Capital ratios were consistent compared to December 31, 2018 as strong earnings and deferred gains recognized due to the adoption of lease accounting guidance at the beginning of 2019 were offset by the Bridgeview and Northern Oak acquisitions, the impact of loan growth and securities purchases on risk-weighted assets, and stock repurchases. In addition, capital ratios compared to June 30, 2018 were impacted by the phase-out of Tier 1 treatment of the Company's trust-preferred securities and the Northern States transaction in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share during the second quarter of 2019, which is an increase of 17% from the first quarter of 2019 and 27% from the second quarter of 2018. This dividend represents the 146th consecutive cash dividend paid by the Company since its inception in 1983.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release, as well as any oral statements made by or on behalf of First Midwest, may contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "might," "will," "would," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "outlook," "predict," "project," "probable," "potential," "possible," "target," "continue," "look forward," or "assume" and words of similar import. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance 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. First Midwest cautions you not to place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and First Midwest undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may be deemed to include, among other things, statements relating to First Midwest's future financial performance, including the related outlook for 2019, the performance of First Midwest's loan or securities portfolio, the expected amount of future credit reserves or charge-offs, corporate strategies or objectives, including the impact of certain actions and initiatives, First Midwest's Delivering Excellence initiative, including costs and benefits associated therewith and the timing thereof, anticipated trends in First Midwest's business, regulatory developments, the impact of federal income tax reform legislation, acquisition transactions, including estimated synergies, cost savings and financial benefits of completed transactions, and growth strategies, including possible future acquisitions. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those discussed under the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in First Midwest's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and in First Midwest's subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive, and other sections of these reports describe additional factors that could adversely impact First Midwest's business and financial performance.

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 EPS, adjusted, the efficiency ratio, return on average assets, adjusted, tax-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components), tax-equivalent net interest margin, tax-equivalent net interest margin, adjusted, noninterest expense, adjusted, effective income tax rate, adjusted, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity, excluding AOCI, to tangible assets, tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets, return on average common equity, adjusted, return on average tangible common equity, and return on average tangible common equity, adjusted.

The Company presents EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average assets, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity, all adjusted for certain significant transactions. These transactions include acquisition and integration related expenses associated with completed and pending acquisitions (third and fourth quarters of 2018 and first and second quarters of 2019), Delivering Excellence implementation costs (all periods), and certain income tax benefits resulting from tax reform (third quarter of 2018). Management believes excluding these transactions from EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average assets, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance since these transactions do not pertain to its core business operations and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods. Management believes that excluding acquisition and integration related expenses from these metrics may be 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 may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.

The Company presents noninterest expense, adjusted, which excludes acquisition and integration related expenses and Delivering Excellence implementation costs. In addition, the Company presents the effective income tax rate, adjusted, which excludes certain income tax benefits aligned with tax reform. Management believes that excluding these items from noninterest expense and the effective income tax rate may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance as these items either do not pertain to its core business operations or their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and 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. Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented using the current federal income tax rate of 21%. 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 may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes. In addition, management believes that presenting tax-equivalent net interest margin, adjusted, may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes and is useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since acquired loan accretion income may fluctuate based on the size of each acquisition, as well as from period to period.

In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be 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. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other financial institutions to assess their business and performance. 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, assuming the applicable federal income tax rate of 21%.
(4)  Cost of funds expresses total interest expense as a percentage of total average funding sources.
(5)  Foreclosed assets consists of OREO and other foreclosed assets acquired in partial or total satisfaction of defaulted loans. Other foreclosed assets are included in other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
(6)  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.
