FIRST QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Loans

Average loans of $17.8 billion increased $428 million, or 2% from the fourth quarter, and have increased $1.7 billion, or 10% from the year ago quarter.  Total commercial loans grew $309 million on average from the fourth quarter and are up $1.1 billion from the prior year.  Commercial and business lending average balances grew $272 million, or 4% on a linked-quarter basis.   Commercial real estate lending average balances grew $37 million, or 1% from the fourth quarter.  Total average consumer loans were up $119 million compared to the prior quarter as the growth in residential mortgage average balances of $174 million was partially offset by continued, but slower, run off in home equity and installment loans.

Deposits

Average deposits of $19.1 billion for the first quarter were up $523 million, or 3% compared to the fourth quarter and have increased $2.1 billion, or 12%, from the year ago quarter.  Money market average balances increased $444 million, or 5% from the fourth quarter, and were up $1.5 billion, or 21% from the year ago quarter.  Average checking balances have increased four consecutive quarters and were up slightly from the fourth quarter.  Average time deposits increased $45 million during the quarter marking a reversal of recent trends.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

First quarter net interest income of $168 million was up $3 million, or 2% from the year ago quarter, but down $7 million from the fourth quarter.  First quarter interest recoveries and prepayments were down $2 million relative to the fourth quarter.  In addition, long-term funding costs increased $2 million from the fourth quarter.  Lastly, the day count difference between the first and fourth quarters resulted in expected lower net interest income of approximately $2 million.

First quarter net interest margin was 2.89%, a decrease of 15 basis points from the 3.04% reported in the fourth quarter.   The first quarter yield on earning assets declined 12 basis points from the prior quarter.  The majority of this decline is attributed to continued loan yield compression.  In addition, lower interest recoveries and prepayments accounted for 3 basis points of the decline in earning asset yields.   The majority of the 4 basis point, quarter over quarter increase in total funding costs is related to the full effect of the carrying cost of the Company's $500 million debt issued in November 2014.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income for the first quarter was $80 million, up $10 million or 15% from the fourth quarter, and up $7 million or 9% from the year ago quarter.  The Ahmann & Martin Co. acquisition closed during the first quarter and largely contributed to a $9 million increase in insurance commissions from the fourth quarter.  Mortgage banking income increased $4 million from the prior quarter.  First quarter net asset gains of $1 million were down $3 million from the prior quarter. 

Total noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $174 million, up $2 million or 1% from the fourth quarter.  Personnel expense increased $3 million from the fourth quarter, largely attributed to the Ahmann & Martin Co. acquisition which added approximately 120 colleagues.  Occupancy expenses increased by $3 million from the previous quarter, primarily related to a lease termination charge, as we further consolidated office space in Chicago.   Business development and advertising expenses declined $3 million from the previous quarter, predominantly related to seasonal advertising during the fourth quarter.  

Taxes

First quarter income taxes were $22 million with an effective tax rate of 32%, compared to $21 million with an effective tax rate of 31% in the year ago period.

Credit

Net charge offs of $6 million for the first quarter were up $1 million from the fourth quarter, and were up slightly from the year ago quarter.  Potential problem loans of $219 million increased $28 million from the prior quarter. The first quarter provision for credit losses was essentially flat from the prior quarter at $5 million.

The Company's allowance for loan losses was $265 million, equal to 1.48% of loans and reflects a coverage ratio of 152% of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2015.

Nonaccrual loans of $174 million were down 2% compared to both the fourth quarter and the year ago quarter.  The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans was down from the previous quarter and stands at 0.97%. 

Capital Ratios

During the first quarter, the Company repurchased $30 million of common stock in several open market transactions.

The Company's capital position remains strong, with a Tier 1 common equity ratio of 9.39% at March 31, 2015.  The Company's capital ratios continue to be in excess of the Basel III "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks on a fully phased in basis.

Tier 1 common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by banking regulators, investors and analysts to assess and compare the quality and composition of our capital with the capital of other financial services companies. Management uses Tier 1 common equity, along with other capital measures, to assess and monitor our capital position. Tier 1 common equity (period end and average) is Tier 1 capital excluding qualifying perpetual preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities.

(2)

Ratio is based upon basic earnings per common share.

(3)

Total revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, is the sum of taxable equivalent net interest income, core fee-based revenues, and other noninterest income categories, as presented on Page 2 in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Page 6 in the Net Interest Income Analysis.

(4)

Core fee-based revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, is the sum of trust service fees, service charges on deposit accounts, card-based and other nondeposit fees, insurance commissions, and brokerage and annuity commissions, as presented on Page 2 in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(5)

Tangible equity, tangible common equity and tangible assets exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. These financial measures have been included as they are considered to be critical metrics with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.

(6)

Prior to 2015, the regulatory capital requirements effective for the Corporation followed the Capital Accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision ("Basel I"). Beginning January 1, 2015, the regulatory capital requirements effective for the Corporation follow Basel III, subject to certain transition provisions from Basel I over the next three years to full implementation by January 1, 2018.

(7)

March 31, 2015 data is estimated.

(8)

The Federal Reserve establishes capital adequacy requirements, including well-capitalized standards for the Corporation. The OCC establishes similar capital adequacy requirements and standards for the Bank. Regulatory capital primarily consists of Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 2 risk-based capital. The sum of Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 2 risk-based capital equals our total risk-based capital. Risk-based capital guidelines require a minimum level of capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets consist of total assets plus certain off-balance sheet and market items, subject to adjustment for predefined credit risk factors.

(9)

Efficiency ratio is defined by the Federal Reserve guidance as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net. Efficiency ratio, fully taxable equivalent, is noninterest expense, excluding other intangible amortization, divided by the sum of taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net and asset gains / losses, net. This efficiency ratio is presented on a taxable equivalent basis, which adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and investment securities. Management believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources and it excludes certain specific revenue items (such as investment securities gains / losses, net and asset gains / losses, net).
