          Mercantile Bank Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., October 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mercantile Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: MBWM) (“Mercantile”) reported a third quarter 2009 net loss attributable to common shares of $5.6 million compared with net income of $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2008. The net loss attributable to common shares for the 2009 third quarter was ($0.66) per diluted share, compared with $0.13 per diluted share for the year-ago third quarter. For the nine months year-to-date, Mercantile recorded a net loss attributable to common shares of $16.5 million, or ($1.94) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.3 million, or ($0.62) per diluted share, for the prior-year nine month period.

Included in third quarter results was a $158,000 pretax charge relating to the final segment of Mercantile’s consolidation of its mid- and eastern-Michigan banking regions. Total consolidation expense was $1.3 million ($0.86 million after-tax, or $0.10 per diluted share), recorded in the second and third quarters of 2009. In addition, Mercantile recorded a $0.9 million pretax charge ($0.62 million after-tax, or $0.07 per diluted share) in the second quarter for the industry-wide FDIC special assessment. Excluding the impact of these one-time charges, the third quarter net loss attributable to common shares was $5.5 million, or ($0.65) per diluted share, and the nine-month net loss attributable to common shares was $15.0 million, or ($1.77) per diluted share.

Third quarter performance continues to reflect the impact of increased levels of problem assets; a large quarterly loan and lease loss provision was taken to boost reserves, reflecting Mercantile’s aggressive administration and disposition of its problem assets.

1

Performance also reflects the positive steps taken to partially mitigate the impact of deteriorating asset quality, as evidenced by an improved net interest margin, higher regulatory capital ratios, increased local deposits, reduced reliance on wholesale funding, and lower overhead expenses.

Michael Price, Chairman and CEO of Mercantile Bank Corporation, commented, “In response to the sustained duration of this recession and its particularly deep impact on the State of Michigan, we continue to refine and implement a two-pronged approach to managing our bank to optimize performance under current adverse conditions. First: We have been addressing our problem assets aggressively from the start of this cycle, to contain and reduce their impact on our financial performance. This includes building an enhanced credit administration infrastructure, proactive recognition and attention to weakening loan relationships, actively managing loan workouts to improve efficiency and outcomes, and finally, working expeditiously to gain control of underlying collateral. We have been largely successful in these areas, but unfortunately, our results have been masked by the relentless deterioration in our economy and the distressed condition of our real estate markets.

“The second prong of our strategy is also critical to our present and future performance. We are pursuing continuous improvement in all activities within our control to mitigate the impact of asset quality on our financial performance. We have always paid close attention to all facets of our profitability, but we have been forced by present circumstances to reach deeper; we have a renewed commitment to cost-saving disciplines as well as a greater focus on pricing and liquidity. Our margin has been expanding over the course of the past year as we replace maturing high-rate deposits with lower-cost funds. Equally important, we have used this opportunity to reprice our loans upward to reflect current market conditions and believe we will be able to continue to do so. We also grew our local deposit base, reduced our reliance on wholesale funds, completed our branch consolidation, and reinforced our capital ratios with the sale of preferred stock in the second quarter and a reduction in total loans outstanding. As we exit this downturn, these efficiencies should position us as a stronger competitor than ever, with an enhanced reputation in our markets.”

Operating Results

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2009, consisting of net interest income and noninterest income, was $15.3 million, up 12.8 percent from the $13.5 million reported for the third quarter of 2008. Net interest income was $13.6 million compared to $11.7 million for the year-ago quarter, up 15.7 percent. Year-over-year, the net interest margin improved by 55 basis points to 2.85 percent for the current quarter, more than offsetting the impact of a 6.7 percent decline in average earning assets.

Mr. Price added, “We are making good progress in lowering our cost of funds, and anticipate further improvements in coming quarters. On the asset side, the improvement in loan pricing we have achieved in this more rational banking environment has substantially offset the combined impact of higher levels of nonaccruing loans and a balance sheet shift to a higher level of short-term, lower-yielding investments, a decision we made to enhance liquidity in light of current market conditions.”

2

Compared to the second quarter, third quarter 2009 net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 9.0 percent; the net interest margin improved 35 basis points, partially offset by a 5.6 percent decline in average earning assets. Third quarter margin improvement primarily reflects the substantial and sustained decline in the cost of funds; the asset yield remained virtually unchanged as loan portfolio pricing initiatives offset the higher level of nonaccruing loans.

Net interest income increased $4.1 million, or 12.2 percent, during the first nine months of 2009 compared to the year-ago nine-month period, primarily reflecting the impact of a 27 basis point improvement in the net interest margin. While average earning assets increased 3.2 percent during this time period, the growth reflects a shift in the balance sheet mix toward a higher level of short-term, lower-yielding investments to enhance liquidity, thereby reducing the average earning asset yield.

Noninterest income remains a steady source of revenue, down slightly during the third quarter of 2009 compared to the prior-year third quarter, but up slightly during the first nine months of 2009 in comparison to the same time period in 2008.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $11.8 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared with $1.9 million for the year-ago third quarter. “We continue to aggressively manage the inherent and specific risks contained in our loan portfolio — increasing reserves to account for changes in risk assessments on individual borrowing relationships and industries, as well as to provide for identified collateral shortfalls on impaired loans,” Price noted. Since year-end 2008, Mercantile added $33.7 million to the allowance for loan and lease losses through provisions, compared to net loan and lease charge-offs totaling $27.4 million. The $6.3 million net addition year-to-date has boosted the allowance for loan and lease losses to $33.4 million. At September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan and lease losses equaled 2.07 percent of total loans and leases, compared with 1.91 percent and 1.46 percent at June 30, 2009 and year-end 2008, respectively.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2009 was $12.5 million. Excluding one-time branch consolidation charges of $158,000, noninterest expense was $12.4 million, up $1.8 million, or 17.6 percent, from the third quarter of 2008. Higher costs associated with the administration and resolution of problem assets (namely, legal expenses, property tax payments and write-downs on foreclosed properties) and higher FDIC insurance premiums accounted for an increase of $2.9 million compared to the year-ago quarter. Mercantile partially offset the increased problem credit administration and FDIC costs through disciplined control of overhead expenses. Salaries and benefits, occupancy, and furniture and equipment expenses declined $0.9 million, or 12.7 percent, from the year-ago quarter.

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $2.02 billion as of September 30, 2009, down $190.7 million, or 8.6 percent, from the $2.21 billion reported at 2008 year-end. Loans and leases declined $242.7 million, or 13.1 percent, to $1.61 billion during the same nine-month period.

Approximately 75 percent of Mercantile’s loan and lease portfolio is secured by real estate, including commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans of $880 million and construction and land development (“C&D”) loans of $201 million; these categories accounted for approximately 55 percent and 12 percent, respectively, of total loans and leases at September 30, 2009. This compares with $929 million for CRE loans and $263 million for C&D loans at year-end 2008. “We are managing both loan categories aggressively,” Price commented. “In particular, residential C&D loans have declined $29 million, or 31 percent, and commercial C&D loans declined $33 million, or 20 percent, during the past nine months.” CRE loans, of which 40 percent are owner-occupied and 60 percent investor-owned, have declined $49 million, or 5.2 percent, since year-end 2008.

Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans were $395 million at September 30, 2009, down $122 million, or 23.6 percent, from year-end 2008. This portfolio segment accounted for about 24 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2009, down from approximately 28 percent nine months ago. “The decline in C&I loans is primarily a reflection of the slowdown in the economy,” Mr. Price added. “Our clients have a reduced need to borrow due to declining sales and reduced levels of inventory.

“Local deposits have increased significantly since year-end 2008, up nearly 40 percent,” added Price. “We are pleased our customers recognize the value we provide as we all work through this difficult environment. While we remain relatively aggressive with our deposit rates, our ability to attract additional local deposits also reflects several new initiatives within our deposit and lending functions, including the introduction of new deposit products that incorporate technological advances that provide improved information, convenience and timeliness.”

Total deposits at September 30, 2009 were $1.45 billion, down a net $149 million, or 9.3 percent, from December 31, 2008. Local deposits increased $185 million during the first nine months of 2009, primarily in certificates of deposit and interest-bearing checking accounts. The increase in local deposits, combined with a $191 million decline in total assets, has allowed Mercantile to reduce brokered deposits by $334 million, or 29.6 percent, since year-end 2008. Local deposits now comprise approximately 45 percent of total deposits compared to about 29 percent at year-end 2008.

Asset Quality

Robert B. Kaminski, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Mercantile Bank Corporation, addressed the persistence of asset quality issues. “As the recession drags on, the growing level of problem assets reflects strains on borrower cash flows and collateral valuation degradation. The primary pressure this quarter relates to non-owner occupied commercial real estate and C&I credit relationships. Our preferred recourse has been, and continues to be, to establish a workout plan for each of our stressed credit relationships, determine the current market value of underlying collateral, write-down impaired loans to market values while building additional reserves for others, and proceed to a speedy resolution.” Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2009, were $110.8 million, or 5.5 percent of total assets, compared to $86.6 million (4.2 percent of total assets) and $47.8 million (2.2 percent of total assets) at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. Approximately $43.0 million was added to

4

nonperforming assets this past quarter, offset by $6.1 million of principal paydowns and foreclosed real estate (“OREO”) and repossessed asset sales proceeds, $11.1 million of charge-offs, and $1.6 million of OREO valuation write-downs.

Of the $17.6 million of net additions to nonperforming loans and leases during the third quarter of 2009, increases were recorded in all major portfolio segments: C&D up $5.8 million; CRE up $4.6 million; C&I up $4.6 million; and residential mortgage up $2.6 million. Approximately 40 percent of nonperforming loans and leases were contractually current as of September 30, 2009. OREO totaled $19.5 million at third quarter-end, up from $13.0 million at June 30, 2009 and $5.7 million for the year-ago quarter. The net increase in OREO is not unexpected, as Mercantile continues to gain ownership of properties through the foreclosure process which includes a six-to-twelve month redemption period.

Total nonperforming CRE assets were $57.9 million as of September 30, 2009, compared with $45.5 million as of June 30, 2009. Non-owner occupied CRE assets accounted for $36.5 million (up $8.4 million, primarily as OREO), while owner-occupied CRE accounted for $21.4 million (up $4.0 million, primarily as nonaccruing loans). Year-to-date, $8.3 million of CRE loans were charged-off, of which $4.5 million occurred during the third quarter.

Nonperforming C&D assets totaled $31.5 million as of September 30, 2009, compared with $25.6 million at June 30, 2009; these consist primarily of loans on residential-related projects, divided between $21.0 million of nonperforming loans and $5.7 million of OREO. Net C&D charge-offs were $3.7 million during the third quarter and $6.5 million year-to-date.

Nonperforming C&I loans and repossessed assets totaled $14.5 million at September 30, 2009, up from $10.6 million at June 30, 2009. Net charge-offs of C&I loans were $2.2 million during the third quarter and $9.6 million year-to-date.

Nonperforming owner-occupied and rental residential loans and OREO totaled $6.8 million at September 30, 2009, up from $4.9 million at June 30, 2009. Year-to-date, $2.7 million has been charged-off.

Net loan and lease charge-offs during the third quarter of 2009 totaled $11.0 million, or an annualized 2.61 percent of average loans and leases, compared with $10.8 million, or an annualized 2.47 percent, for the second quarter of 2009. For the nine-month periods, net loan and lease charge-offs were $27.4 million for 2009, or an annualized 2.10 percent of average loans and leases, compared to $13.5 million for 2008, or an annualized 0.99 percent.

In the current quarter, approximately 33 percent, or $3.8 million, of loans and leases charged-off were eliminations of specific reserves established in prior periods; this compares with 53 percent, or $5.7 million, for the second quarter of 2009. Excluding charges associated with the elimination of specific reserves, net loan and lease charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 were an annualized 1.71 percent of average loans and leases.

Capital Position

Shareholders’ equity totaled $177.3 million at September 30, 2009, an increase of $5.9 million, or 3.5 percent, from September 30, 2008. The Bank remains “well-capitalized”, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.7 percent as of September 30, 2009. The Bank’s total regulatory capital as of September 30, 2009 was $215.3 million, approximately $32.0 million in excess of the minimum 10 percent required to be categorized as “well-capitalized”. Mercantile’s total shares outstanding at third quarter-end were 8,590,946.

Mr. Price concluded, “A primary objective throughout this difficult period has been to improve and maintain sound capital and liquidity positions while continuing to serve the needs of our valued customers. Our capital ratios are improving despite our aggressive administration of problem assets. Liquidity, as reflected in higher levels of short-term investments and local deposits relative to our contracting asset size, has also been expanding.”
