CHICAGO, April 20, 2021 (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 first quarter of 2021. Net income applicable to common shares for the first quarter of 2021 was $41 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share, compared to $37 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2020, and $19 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2020.

Comparative results for the first quarter of 2021 and the fourth and first quarters of 2020 were, in certain cases, impacted by the timing of costs related to bank acquisition and branch consolidation, as well as the recognition of certain income tax benefits. Such results were also impacted by the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic"), as well as governments' responses to the pandemic. The Company's responses included repositioning its balance sheet which impacted its performance. To facilitate comparison between periods, adjustments to reported results have been made to reflect these impacts. For additional detail on these adjustments, see the "Non-GAAP Financial Information" section presented later in this release.

SELECT FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Improved diluted EPS to $0.36, up 9% and 100% from the fourth and first quarters of 2020, respectively.
    • Diluted EPS, adjusted(1) of $0.37, declined 14% from the fourth quarter of 2020, impacted by lower income from the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), partly offset by lower provisioning for loan losses. The increase from a year ago largely reflects the initial increase in provision for loan losses responsive to the pandemic.
  • Increased fee-based revenues to $44 million, up 5% and 17% from the fourth and first quarters of 2020, respectively, reflective of record wealth management fees and mortgage banking income.
  • Produced net interest income of $141 million at a net margin of 3.03%, down 11 basis points ("bps") linked quarter due to lower PPP loan income and down 51 bps from a year ago, reflective of lower interest rates.
  • Increased total loans to $14 billion, up 3% annualized from December 31, 2020, excluding PPP.
  • Maintained robust credit and capital reserves as economic recovery continues:
    • Held the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") at 1.73% of total loans, excluding PPP loans, in-line with 1.77% linked quarter and up from 1.62% a year ago.
      • Incurred net loan charge-offs ("NCOs") of $8 million, compared to $4 million and $10 million in the fourth and first quarters of 2020, excluding purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans.
      • Decreased performing loans classified as substandard and special mention by 9% linked quarter while loans past due 30-89 days declined by 24%.
    • Increased Tier 1 capital to 11.7% of risk-weighted assets, up 12 bps linked quarter and 203 bps from a year ago.
      • Repurchased 715,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $15 million.

"We had a solid start to the year as our overall performance improved as the economic recovery gains traction," said Michael L. Scudder, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Operating performance for the quarter once again benefited from strong production from our fee-based businesses and continued focus on managing our costs. As expected, quarterly comparisons were affected by both normal seasonality and the impact of federal stimulus programs on both client liquidity and transactional volumes. Importantly, our underlying business momentum is strengthening as both production volumes and sales pipelines normalize and improve."

Mr. Scudder concluded, "As the economic recovery builds momentum, we are well positioned for continued growth and expansion. Our balance sheet is strong, preparing us to benefit from an improving credit outlook and growing business demand, as well as from anticipated higher interest rates. As always, our response and collective focus remain on helping our clients achieve financial success, delivering on our strategic priorities and creating long term value for our shareholders."

(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 first quarter of 2021 was down 4.7% from the fourth quarter of 2020 and 1.7% from the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in net interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 resulted primarily from lower fees on PPP loans and fewer days in the quarter, partially offset by growth in loans and lower costs of funds. Compared to the first quarter of 2020, net interest income was impacted by lower interest rates, partially offset by growth in loans and an increase in interest income and fees on PPP loans, as well as the acquisition of interest-earning assets from the Park Bank transaction that closed in the first quarter of 2020.

Acquired loan accretion contributed $7.2 million, $7.6 million, and $6.9 million to net interest income for the first quarter of 2021, fourth quarter of 2020, and first quarter of 2020, respectively.

Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the current quarter was 3.03%, decreasing 11 and 51 basis points from the fourth and first quarters of 2020, respectively. Excluding the impact of acquired loan accretion, tax-equivalent net interest margin was 2.88%, down 10 and 49 basis points from the fourth and first quarters of 2020, respectively. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased due primarily to lower accelerated income on the forgiveness of PPP loans. Tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased compared to the first quarter of 2020 as a result of lower interest rates on loans and securities, as well as a higher balance of other interest-earning assets due to higher demand deposits as a result of PPP loan funds and other government stimuli, partially offset by lower cost of funds, loan growth, and higher yields on PPP loans.

For the first quarter of 2021, total average interest-earning assets rose by $125.8 million and $2.6 billion from the fourth and first quarters of 2020, respectively. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 resulted primarily from loan growth, partially offset by a lower balance of other interest-earning assets. Compared to the first quarter of 2020, the increase in average interest-earning assets was due primarily to assets acquired in the Park Bank transaction, loan growth, and a higher balance of other interest-earning assets due to higher demand deposits as a result of PPP loan funds and other government stimuli.

Total average funding sources for the first quarter of 2021 were consistent with the fourth quarter of 2020 and increased by $2.2 billion from first quarter of 2020. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2020 was driven primarily by deposit growth due to higher customer balances resulting from PPP funds and other government stimuli, as well as deposits assumed in the Park Bank transaction, partially offset by a decrease in FHLB advances.

Total noninterest income of $45.8 million was up 65.3% from the fourth quarter of 2020 and 16.4% from the first quarter of 2020. Excluding the impact of swap termination costs in the fourth quarter of 2020, total noninterest income increased 1.2%. Record wealth management fees resulted from a higher market environment and continued sales of fiduciary and investment advisory services to new and existing customers compared to both prior periods. The decrease in service charges on deposit accounts compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 was due primarily to seasonality, whereas the decrease from the first quarter of 2020 resulted from the impact of lower transaction volumes due to the pandemic. Capital market products income resulted from levels of sales to corporate clients in light of market conditions that were higher than the fourth quarter of 2020 and lower than the first quarter of 2020.

Record mortgage banking income for the first quarter of 2021 resulted from sales of $283.9 million of 1-4 family mortgage loans in the secondary market compared to $275.6 million and $116.6 million in the fourth and first quarters of 2020, respectively. In addition, mortgage banking income for the first quarter of 2021 increased compared to both prior periods due to increases in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

Other income decreased compared to both prior periods as a result of fair value adjustments on equity securities.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company terminated longer term interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $510 million as a result of excess liquidity and in response to market conditions. As a result, $17.6 of pre-tax losses on swap terminations were recorded.

Net securities losses of $1.0 million were recognized during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of repositioning of the Company's securities portfolio due to market conditions.

(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 was stable compared to both prior periods. Noninterest expense for all periods presented was impacted by acquisition and integration related expenses. In addition, the first quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020 were impacted by optimization costs. Excluding these items, noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 was $116.7 million, up 1.8% from the fourth quarter of 2020 reflective of seasonality, and up 4.3% from the first quarter of 2020. Overall, noninterest expense, adjusted, to average assets, excluding PPP loans, was 2.38% for the first quarter of 2021, up 9 basis points and down 6 basis points from the fourth and first quarters of 2020, respectively.

Operating costs associated with the Park Bank transaction contributed to the increase in noninterest expense compared to the first quarter of 2020. These costs primarily occurred in salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense, technology and related costs, and other expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 were impacted by merit increases, payroll tax timing, and higher equity compensation valuations, offset by ongoing benefits of optimization strategies and lower compensation accruals. Compared to the first quarter of 2020, salaries and employee benefits increased primarily due to higher equity compensation valuations, compensation accruals, commissions, and merit increases, partially offset by ongoing benefits of optimization strategies. Higher costs related to winter weather conditions contributed to the increase in net occupancy and equipment costs compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Compared to the first quarter of 2020, technology and related costs was impacted by investments in technology, including the origination of PPP loans. Professional services expenses were elevated for the first quarter of 2020 due to process enhancements and expenses associated with higher capital market products income. Advertising and promotions expense decreased compared to the first quarter of 2020 due to the timing of certain costs related to marketing campaigns. Other expenses for the first quarter of 2021 was impacted by a valuation adjustment on a foreclosed asset.

Optimization costs of $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 primarily include advisory fees, employee severance, and other expenses associated with locations identified for closure.

Acquisition and integration related expenses for all periods presented resulted primarily from the acquisition of Park Bank.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was 27.8% up from 12.1% and 24.8% for the fourth and first quarters of 2020, respectively. The increase compared to both prior periods was driven primarily by a $1.1 million increase in income tax expense related to share-based payments and a decrease in federal and state tax exempt income. In addition, the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2020 was impacted by $3.6 million of income tax benefits resulting from deferred tax asset adjustments, as well as the finalization of the prior year returns and the expiration of the statute of limitations on uncertain tax positions.

N/M – Not meaningful.

Total loans includes loans originated under the PPP loan programs beginning in the second quarter of 2020, which totaled $1.1 billion and $785.6 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Excluding these loans, total loans were up 3% annualized from December 31, 2020 and 1% from March 31, 2020. Compared to both prior periods, corporate loans, excluding PPP loans, were impacted by lower line usage and higher paydowns due to current economic conditions as a result of the ongoing pandemic. Production increased in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020; however, this continued to be more than offset by excess borrower liquidity and paydowns as a result of the pandemic and below pre-pandemic production levels.

Growth in consumer loans compared to both prior periods resulted primarily from purchases of 1-4 family mortgages and installment loans, as well as strong production in the 1-4 family mortgages portfolio, which more than offset higher prepayments.

ACL to non-accrual loans 153.67% 173.33% 154.64%    

(1) This ratio excludes PPP loans that are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"). As a result, no allowance for credit losses is associated with these loans. See the "Non-GAAP Financial Information" section presented later in this release for a discussion of this non-GAAP financial measure.

The ACL was $243.4 million or 1.60% of total loans as of March 31, 2021, decreasing $3.7 million from December 31, 2020 and increasing $16.7 million compared to March 31, 2020. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, ACL to total loans was 1.73% as of March 31, 2021, compared to 1.77% and 1.62% as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease from December 31, 2020 reflects net charge-offs on PCD loans that previously had an ACL established upon acquisition and the increase compared to March 31, 2020 is due to additional ACL established as a result of the pandemic during 2020.

N/M – Not meaningful.(1) See the "Non-GAAP Financial Information" section presented later in this release for a discussion of this non-GAAP financial measure.(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) Performing loans classified as substandard and special mention excludes accruing TDRs.(4) This ratio excludes PPP loans that are fully guaranteed by the SBA. As a result, no allowance for credit losses is associated with these loans.

NPAs represented 1.17% of total loans and foreclosed assets at March 31, 2021 compared to 1.11% and 1.24% at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Excluding the impact of PCD and PPP loans, NPAs to total loans plus foreclosed assets was 1.07% at March 31, 2021, compared to 0.96% at December 31, 2020 and 0.91% at March 31, 2020, reflective of normal fluctuations that occur on a quarterly basis.

Performing loans classified as substandard and special mention were $698 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $766 million and $438 million at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2020 was due primarily to the payoff of certain corporate credits in addition to upgrade and downgrade activity. The increase from the first quarter of 2020, is a result of the pandemic's impact on certain borrowers primarily focused in elevated risk sectors that the Company has determined require additional monitoring. These loans exhibit potential or well-defined weaknesses but continue to accrue interest because they are well secured, and collection of principal and interest is expected.

Total average deposits were $16.3 billion for the first quarter of 2021, up 2.2% from the fourth quarter of 2020 and 21.6% from the first quarter of 2020. The increase in total average deposits compared to both prior periods was impacted by higher customer balances resulting from PPP funds and other government stimuli. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, the increase in total average deposits was partially offset by the normal seasonal decline in commercial and municipal deposits. In addition, the increase in total average deposits compared to the first quarter of 2020 was also driven by deposits assumed in the Park Bank transaction in March 2020.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 
Capital Ratios

Company regulatory capital ratios:      
Total capital to risk-weighted assets 14.26% 14.14% 12.00%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 11.67% 11.55% 9.64%
Common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") to risk-weighted assets 10.17% 10.06% 9.64%
Tier 1 capital to average assets 8.96% 8.91% 8.60%
Company tangible common equity ratios(1)(2):    
Tangible common equity to tangible assets 7.37% 7.67% 7.97%
Tangible common equity to tangible assets, excluding PPP loans 7.79% 7.98% 7.97%
Tangible common equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), to tangible assets 7.48% 7.54% 7.79%
Tangible common equity, excluding AOCI, to tangible assets, excluding PPP loans 7.91% 7.85% 7.79%
Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets 9.73% 9.93% 9.63%

(1) These ratios are not subject to formal Federal Reserve regulatory guidance.(2) Tangible common equity ("TCE") is a non-GAAP measure that 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.

Regulatory capital ratios increased compared to all prior periods as a result of retained earnings and the mix of risk-weighted assets, partially offset by the approximately 10 basis point impact of stock repurchases. Compared to March 31, 2020 total and Tier 1 capital ratios also benefited from the issuance of preferred stock. The Company elected the five-year current expected credit losses ("CECL") transition relief for regulatory capital, which retained approximately 30 basis points of CET1 and Tier 1 capital at March 31, 2021.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company announced that it would restart repurchases of its outstanding shares of common stock under its stock repurchase program after suspending repurchases in March 2020 as it shifted its capital deployment strategy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company repurchased approximately 715,000 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $14.9 million during the first quarter of 2021.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share during the first quarter of 2021, which is consistent with the fourth and first quarters of 2020. This dividend represents the 153rd 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 2021, the performance of First Midwest's loan or securities portfolio, the expected amount of future credit allowances or charge-offs, corporate strategies or objectives, including the impact of certain actions and initiatives, anticipated trends in First Midwest's business, regulatory developments, acquisition transactions, estimated synergies, cost savings and financial benefits of completed transactions, growth strategies, including possible future acquisitions, and the continued or potential effects of the pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity, loans, asset quality and results of operations. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the duration, extent and severity of the pandemic, including the continued effects on our business, operations and employees, as well as on our customers and service providers, and on economies and markets more generally and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are 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, 2020, 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, 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, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted, non-accrual loans, excluding PCD loans, non-accrual loans to total loans, excluding PPP loans, non-accrual loans to total loans, excluding PCD and PPP loans, NPLs to total loans, excluding PPP loans, NPLs to total loans, excluding PCD and PPP loans, NPAs to total loans plus foreclosed assets, excluding PPP loans, NPAs to total loans plus foreclosed assets, excluding PCD and PPP loans, performing loans classified as substandard and special mention to corporate loans, excluding PPP loans, NCOs, excluding PCD loans, NCOs to average loans, excluding PPP loans, NCOs to average loans, excluding PCD and PPP loans, and pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, 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 optimization costs (first quarter 2021 and fourth and third quarter of 2020), acquisition and integration related expenses associated with completed and pending acquisitions (all periods), swap termination costs (fourth and third quarters of 2020), income tax benefits (fourth quarter of 2020), and net securities gains (losses) (third and first quarters of 2020). In addition, net OREO expense is excluded from the calculation of the efficiency ratio. 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.

Income tax expense, provision for loan losses, and the certain significant transactions listed above are excluded from the calculation of pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, adjusted due to the fluctuation in income before income tax and the level of provision for loan losses required based on the estimated impact of the pandemic on the ACL. Management believes pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, adjusted may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.

The Company presents noninterest expense, adjusted, which excludes optimization costs and acquisition and integration related expenses. Management believes that excluding these items from noninterest expense 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.

The Company presents non-accrual loans, non-accrual loans to total loans, NPLs to total loans, NPAs to total loans plus foreclosed assets, performing loans classified as substandard and special mention to corporate loans, excluding PPP loans, NCOs, and NCOs to average loans, all excluding PCD and/or PPP loans. Management believes excluding PCD and PPP loans is useful as it facilitates better comparability between periods. Prior to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, PCI loans with an accretable yield were considered current and were not included in past due and non-accrual loan totals and the portion of PCI loans deemed to be uncollectible was recorded as a reduction of the credit-related acquisition adjustment, which was netted within loans. Subsequent to adoption, PCD loans, including those previously classified as PCI, are included in past due and non-accrual loan totals and an ACL on PCD loans is established as of the acquisition date and the PCD loans are no longer recorded net of a credit-related acquisition adjustment. PCD loans deemed to be uncollectible are recorded as a charge-off through the ACL. The Company began originating PPP loans during the second quarter of 2020 and the loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and are expected to be forgiven if the applicable criteria are met. Additionally, management believes excluding PCD and PPP loans from these metrics may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.

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.
