Mercantile Bank Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 21, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mercantile Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: MBWM) (“Mercantile”) reported a second quarter 2009 net loss attributable to common shares of $6.4 million, or ($0.75) per diluted share; this compares with a net loss of $2.6 million, or ($0.31) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008. For the six months year-to-date, Mercantile recorded a net loss attributable to common shares of $10.9 million, or ($1.28) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $6.4 million, or ($0.75) per diluted share, for the prior-year six month period.

Included in second quarter and year-to-date 2009 results was a $1.2 million pretax charge ($0.76 million after-tax, or $0.09 per diluted share) for the consolidation of Mercantile’s mid- and eastern Michigan regions of its banking activities; and a $0.9 million pretax charge ($0.62 million after-tax, or $0.07 per diluted share) for the bank industry-wide FDIC special assessment. Excluding the impact of these one-time charges from ongoing operations, the second quarter net loss attributable to common shares was $5.0 million, or ($0.59) per diluted share, and the six-month net loss to common shares from ongoing operations was $9.5 million, or ($1.12) per diluted share.

Mercantile’s second quarter performance was impacted by a larger provision for loan and lease losses taken in response to continuing deterioration of the economy and its potential impact on the loan and lease portfolio and the one-time charges associated with the branch consolidation, partially offset by higher net interest income and reduced controllable overhead expenses.

1

Michael Price, Chairman and CEO of Mercantile Bank Corporation, commented, “We have responded to current economic conditions throughout our organization with initiatives to improve those aspects of Mercantile’s performance that we can control. Until we see credible evidence of improvement in real estate activity and general business conditions, we are committed to building our loan loss reserve to keep pace with the accelerating decline in virtually every sector of our economy. At the same time, we have moved aggressively to lower overhead from operations, improve the profitability of lending activities, reduce the cost of funds, and strengthen the balance sheet to provide additional liquidity and capital.

“We are in the process of consolidating two of our branches into the larger Lansing facility. A majority of the costs related to the restructuring have been recognized this quarter, and we anticipate that the process will be completed by mid-August. We are taking care to ensure that customers affected by the consolidation continue to experience the same quality banking service they’ve come to expect from Mercantile.

“We are particularly pleased with the results of our initiatives to increase local deposits, allowing us to reduce our reliance on wholesale funding. Our improved funding mix and greater liquidity enhance our ability to perform under current adverse conditions, as does the $21 million of capital invested in Mercantile by the U.S. Treasury. We have been able to improve our net interest margin by lowering funding costs, and we anticipate that margins will continue to improve throughout 2009 as higher-priced wholesale funds mature.”

Operating Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2009, consisting of net interest income and noninterest income, was $14.3 million, up 15.9 percent from the $12.4 million reported for the second quarter of 2008. Net interest income was $12.5 million for the current quarter compared to $10.6 million for the year-ago quarter, up 17.5 percent; the net interest margin improved by 35 basis points and average earning assets grew 1.0 percent year-over-year.

Compared with the first quarter of 2009, net interest income increased by $0.6 million, or 5.5 percent, from a 22 basis point increase in the net interest margin, partially offset by a 4.9 percent decline in average earning assets. Second quarter margin improvement primarily reflects a 23 basis point decline in the cost of funds compared to the first quarter, while the asset yield declined by only two basis points. For the six months year-to-date, net interest income rose 10.4 percent from the combined impact of a 15 basis point improvement in the net interest margin and a 4.0 percent increase in average earning assets.

Mr. Price added, “We made marked progress toward lowering our funding costs, replacing matured brokered CDs and FHLB advances at today’s lower market rates. We anticipate continued margin improvement into the second half of this year. We have $300 million of wholesale funds maturing in the third quarter at an average rate of 3.15 percent, and an additional $250 million at 3.35 percent coming due in the fourth quarter

2

of 2009. Current rates generally range from 0.75 percent to 2.50 percent depending on product and term.”

Noninterest income was $1.9 million for the second quarter of this year, up 6.0 percent from the $1.8 million generated in the year-ago quarter. Mortgage banking income has expanded, primarily from a higher level of refinancing activity; income was $0.40 million this quarter, up $0.23 million or 131.6 percent from the second quarter of 2008.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared with $10.4 million for the 2009 first quarter and $6.2 million for the year-ago second quarter. The larger provision expense for the current quarter reflects additional reserves to provide for potential losses in the loan and lease portfolio from the continued deterioration of the economy plus a higher level of net loan and lease charge-offs. The allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.91 percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2009 compared to 1.79 percent at March 31, 2009 and 1.46 percent at December 31, 2008.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $12.4 million; excluding restructuring charges of $1.2 million and the $0.9 million FDIC special assessment fee, noninterest expense from operations was $10.3 million, down $0.5 million, or 4.6 percent, from the second quarter of 2008. Controllable operating expenses continue to be well-managed; salaries and benefits (excluding a $0.5 million one-time charge for severance payments associated with the branch consolidation), occupancy, and furniture and equipment expense declined $0.5 million, or 7.2 percent, compared with the year-ago quarter. Costs associated with the administration and resolution of problem assets, including legal expenses, property tax payments, appraisal costs, and write-downs on foreclosed properties, totaled $1.1 million, unchanged from the prior-year second quarter. However, the FDIC insurance premium for the 2009 second quarter, excluding the one-time special assessment, increased by $0.5 million, to $0.8 million.

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2009, down $136.6 million, or 6.2 percent, since year-end 2008. Loans and leases declined by $148.4 million, or 8.0 percent, to $1.7 billion during the same six-month period, with reductions in virtually every category. Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans had the largest six-month decline, down $91.6 million, or 17.7 percent, primarily reflecting lower usage of commercial lines of credit, which accounted for $75.0 million of the C&I decline. Approximately 75 percent of Mercantile’s loan and lease portfolio is secured by real estate, including commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans of $906.0 million and construction and land development (“C&D”) loans of $234.2 million; these categories accounted for about 53 percent and 14 percent, respectively, of total loans and leases, while C&I loans accounted for an additional 25 percent of outstanding loans and leases.

“Local deposits increased by over 30 percent since year-end 2008, with the pace accelerating in the second quarter of 2009,” commented Mr. Price. “We welcome these deposits as a substantial source of additional liquidity, and as a reflection of our

3

customers’ continuing confidence in Mercantile. Under normal circumstances, we would promptly have utilized these deposits to fund loan growth. However, these are not normal times, and we have actually been reducing our loan and lease outstandings in the face of weakened economic conditions; this has also reduced our need for brokered deposits and borrowed funds as a source of funding.”

Total deposits at June 30, 2009 were $1.5 billion, down $120.9 million, or 7.6 percent, from December 31, 2008. Local deposits, primarily time deposits, increased by $149.4 million, or 31.8 percent, while brokered deposits declined by $270.3 million, or 23.9 percent. Mr. Price continued, “We used this opportunity to shift the deposit mix toward a greater reliance on local deposits, allowing brokered CDs to run off as they matured. Over the past six months, as total deposits shrank by 7.6 percent, our deposit mix shifted to about 42 percent local deposits compared to approximately 29 percent at year-end 2008.”

Asset Quality

At June 30, 2009, nonperforming loans and leases were $73.7 million, or 4.3 percent of total loans and leases, compared to $74.4 million (4.2 percent of total loans and leases) and $43.3 million (2.4 percent of total loans and leases) at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Approximately 38 percent of nonperforming loans and leases were contractually current on payments as of June 30, 2009. Net nonperforming loans and leases declined by $0.7 million compared to the first quarter; factors contributing to the decline include transfers of $4.7 million to foreclosed real estate and repossessions and gross loan and lease charge-offs of $11.1 million. As of June 30, 2009, foreclosed real estate and repossessions totaled $13.0 million, up from $9.4 million as of March 31, 2009 and $3.3 million for the year-ago quarter. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2009 represented 4.2 percent of total assets compared with 3.7 percent as of March 31, 2009 and 2.2 percent at June 30, 2008.

“The spreading impact of our deteriorating economy is reflected by the shift in our nonperforming loan categories,” continued Mr. Price. “We first experienced weakness in our residential C&D loan portfolio almost two years ago, followed by problems surfacing in our non-owner occupied CRE loans starting in the latter half of 2008. In the current quarter, owner-occupied CRE nonperforming loans were the fastest growing category.” Total nonperforming CRE loans were $41.6 million as of June 30, 2009, compared with $33.0 million at March 31, 2009. Non-owner occupied CRE nonperforming loans accounted for $25.5 million at June 30, 2009, with owner-occupied CRE representing the remainder of $16.1 million, the latter up from the $7.8 million as of March 31, 2009. Foreclosed CRE declined modestly from first quarter-end to $3.9 million at June 30, 2009, primarily reflecting property sales and valuation write-downs during the second quarter.

Nonperforming C&D loans totaled $19.1 million as of June 30, 2009, compared with $25.4 million at March 31, 2009, a decline of $6.3 million. Charge-offs and transfers to foreclosed real estate accounted for the majority of the decline. Nonperforming C&I loans and leases were $9.5 million as of June 30, 2009, down from $12.8 million at

4

March 31, 2009. Charge-offs of C&I loans were $5.0 million in the second quarter, with an additional $0.7 million shifted to foreclosed assets.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $10.8 million, or 2.47 percent of average loans and leases (annualized) for the second quarter compared with $5.6 million, or 1.25 percent of average loans and leases (annualized) for the first quarter of this year. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $16.4 million, or 1.85 percent of average loans and leases (annualized) for the first six months of 2009 compared with $9.2 million, or 1.03 percent of average loans and leases (annualized), for the first six-months of 2008.

In the current quarter, approximately 53 percent, or $5.7 million of the loans and leases charged-off were eliminations of specific reserves established in prior periods, compared to approximately 13 percent, or $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2009. Excluding charges associated with the elimination of specific reserves, net loan and lease charge-offs have been generally stable at $5.1 million, or 1.16 percent of average loans and leases annualized, for second quarter 2009 compared to $4.9 million, or 1.09 percent of average loans and leases annualized for first quarter 2009.

At June 30, 2009, reserves were 1.91 percent of total loans and leases compared with 1.46 percent at year-end 2008. “We continue to build loan loss reserves,” Price added. “Since year-end 2008, we added nearly $5.5 million to reserves while shrinking our loan and lease portfolio by almost $150 million. The higher level of reserves provides us with greater flexibility to manage the administration and disposition of nonperforming assets, as well as providing us with an extra cushion under these uncertain conditions.”

Capital Position

On May 15, 2009, Mercantile accepted the Treasury Department’s investment of $21.0 million under its Capital Purchase Program for preferred stock and a common stock warrant. Mr. Price commented, “We believe our capital level was sufficient before the Treasury’s investment. However, there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the time frame of economic recovery. Our participation in the Capital Purchase Program provides an additional cushion that should enable us to satisfactorily address any existing or additional risks associated with current economic conditions. By participating in this program, we are able to enhance the Bank’s capital position without creating unacceptable levels of dilution to our common shareholders.”

Shareholders’ equity totaled $181.7 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $12.3 million, or 7.3 percent, from the March 31, 2009 level of shareholders’ equity. The Bank remains “well-capitalized” under regulatory capital requirements, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.6 percent as of June 30, 2009 compared with 10.6 percent at March 31, 2009. The Bank’s total regulatory capital as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $29.9 million in excess of the minimum amount required to be categorized as “well-capitalized.” Total shares outstanding at second quarter-end were 8,587,717.
