MB FINANCIAL, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2018 NET INCOME


CHICAGO, July 19, 2018 – MB Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBFI), the holding company for MB Financial Bank, N.A., today announced second quarter 2018 net income of $38.5 million compared to $56.8 million last quarter and $44.5 million in the second quarter a year ago.  Diluted earnings per common share were $0.42 in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $0.81 last quarter and $0.50 in the second quarter a year ago.   
 
Operating Earnings (in thousands, except per share data)

The table below reconciles net income, as reported, to operating earnings excluding our Mortgage Banking Segment. As previously announced, we have discontinued our national mortgage origination business (substantially all originations outside of the Company's consumer banking footprint in the Chicagoland area). Therefore, we believe operating earnings excluding our Mortgage Banking Segment better reflect our primary operations until the wind down of the segment is complete, as we are retaining the mortgage servicing asset and residential mortgage loans on our balance sheet.

(1) 
Non-core items represent the difference between non-core non-interest income and non-core non-interest expense net of tax. See "Non-GAAP Financial Information" section for details on non-core items starting on page 25. Non-core items for the second quarter of 2018 include approximately $14 million, net of tax, related to the discontinuation of our national mortgage origination business and approximately $5 million, net of tax, related to the pending merger with Fifth Third Bancorp ("Fifth Third").

(2) 
The $0.81 diluted earnings per common share in the first quarter of 2018 were positively impacted by a $15.3 million, or $0.18 per common share, return from preferred stockholders due to the redemption of our 8% Series A non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock. The $15.3 million represents the excess carrying amount over the redemption price of the Series A preferred stock.

(3) 
The $1.67 diluted earnings per common share in the fourth quarter of 2017 were positively impacted by a $104.2 million, or $1.23 per common share, tax benefit due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "TCJ Act").





Key Items (compared to 1Q18)
Pending Merger
On May 20, 2018, we signed a definitive merger agreement with Fifth Third.
Operating Earnings
Operating earnings, excluding the Mortgage Banking Segment, increased $2.9 million, or 5.0%, to $60.6 million compared to the prior quarter. This increase resulted mostly from a $4.4 million (net of tax) increase in net interest income and an approximate $900 thousand decrease in income tax expense (due to a lower effective tax rate). These favorable variances were partly offset by a $2.5 million (net of tax) increase in professional and legal fees.
Diluted operating earnings per common share, excluding the Mortgage Banking Segment, were $0.68 compared to $0.64 in the prior quarter.
Loans
Loan balances, excluding purchased credit-impaired loans, decreased $105.7 million (-0.8%, or -3.1%, annualized).
Average loan balances, excluding purchased credit-impaired loans, decreased $58.6 million (-0.4%, or -1.7% annualized) to $13.7 billion due to a decrease in commercial real estate loans.
Average yield on loans, excluding accretion on loans acquired in bank mergers, increased 17 basis points to 4.50% from 4.33% in the prior quarter as a result of increases in short-term interest rates.
Deposits
Low-cost deposit balances ended the quarter essentially at the same level as the prior quarter end.
Average low-cost deposits increased $128.7 million (1.0%, or 4.2% annualized) to $12.5 billion due to a normal seasonal increase in non-interest bearing deposits.
Average cost of total deposits increased six basis points to 0.47%.
Net interest margin
Net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, excluding accretion on loans acquired in bank mergers, increased seven basis points in the quarter to 3.62%. This increase was due to higher loan yields partly offset by increased funding costs.
Average interest earning assets increased $207.6 million mostly due to the purchase of residential mortgage-backed securities in March 2018.
Average cost of funds increased nine basis points to 0.67% due to higher rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.
 
Operating Segments (compared to 1Q18)
Banking
Operating earnings were $53.6 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 9.2%, compared to the prior quarter.
This increase was due to an increase in net interest income (higher average loan and investment security yields) and card fees partly offset by an increase in professional and legal fees.
Leasing
Operating earnings were $7.0 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 18.7%, compared to the prior quarter.
Operating earnings for the quarter decreased as a result of lower promotional income partially offset by higher rental income and residual gains.
Mortgage Banking
On April 12, 2018, we announced the discontinuation of our national mortgage origination business, which includes substantially all originations outside of the Company's consumer banking footprint in the Chicagoland area.
Operating loss was $3.4 million compared to an operating loss of $295 thousand in the prior quarter.
The wind down of our national mortgage origination business is proceeding as planned. We project that, excluding any impact of our pending merger with Fifth Third, our remaining mortgage operations will earn quarterly pre-tax income of approximately $7.4 million beginning in the first quarter of 2019, as outlined in our first quarter 2018 earnings release.
Key Items (compared to six months ended June 30, 2017)
Operating earnings, excluding the Mortgage Banking Segment, increased $21.4 million, or 22.1%, to $118.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase resulted from the following items (net of tax): a $14.6 million increase in net interest income, an $8.3 million increase in our key fee initiatives revenue (mainly lease financing revenue), and an approximate $12 million decrease in income tax expense (lower effective tax rate). These increases were partly offset by a $14.9 million increase in non-interest expense with more than half of the increase in salaries and benefits.
Diluted operating earnings per common share, excluding the Mortgage Banking Segment, were $1.32 compared to $1.10 in the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 20.0%.

Guidance on Selected Financial Items

In light of our pending merger with Fifth Third, we will no longer provide forward-looking financial guidance or update previously provided financial guidance except as otherwise provided in this release with respect to our mortgage operations.

Operating Segments

The Company currently has three reportable operating segments: Banking, Leasing, and Mortgage Banking. Our Banking Segment generates revenues primarily from its lending, deposit gathering, and fee business activities. Our Leasing Segment generates revenues through lease originations and related services. As a result of the discontinuation of our national mortgage origination business, we expect to stop operating the mortgage business as a defined segment with separate Mortgage Banking Segment reporting prior to the first quarter of 2019. The financial information below was adjusted for funds transfer pricing and internal allocations of certain expenses and excludes non-core non-interest income and expense.

(1) 
Includes health insurance, payroll taxes, 401(k) and profit sharing contributions, overtime, and temporary help expenses.

Banking Segment operating earnings for the second quarter of 2018 increased $4.5 million compared to the prior quarter.

Net interest income increased due to higher average loan and investment security yields and average investment security balances partly offset by a higher cost of funds. Our average yield on loans increased as a result of an increase in short-term rates. Our average investment security yield and balances increased due to investments made in higher yielding residential mortgage-backed securities in March 2018.

Card fees increased due to higher prepaid and debit card fees as a result of increased sales and volume.

Capital markets and international banking fees increased due to higher syndication fees, swap fees, and foreign currency derivative income.


3




Salaries and benefits expense increased as a result of increased bonus and stock-based compensation expense.

Professional and legal fees increased due to case settlements and other legal and professional fees.

Other operating expenses increased mostly due to losses on other real estate owned properties (compared to gains in the prior quarter), higher FDIC premiums, and increased card expenses.

Banking Segment operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $15.9 million, or 18.3%, compared to the same period last year.

Net interest income increased due to higher average loan yields and balances partly offset by higher cost of funds.

Non-interest income increased due to higher card fees (increased sales and volume in prepaid cards and higher credit card usage) and stronger earnings from Small Business Investment Companies.

Non-interest expense increased as a result of higher salaries and employee benefits expense, computer services and telecommunication expense (investments in new technology), and professional and legal fees (case settlements and other legal and professional fees). Salaries and employee benefits expense increased due to annual salary increases, new hires, higher health insurance costs, and higher 401(k) and profit sharing contributions expense.

Income tax expense decreased as a result of a decline in the effective tax rate.

Includes health insurance, payroll taxes, 401(k) and profit sharing contributions, overtime, and temporary help expenses.

Leasing Segment operating earnings for the second quarter of 2018 decreased $1.6 million compared to the prior quarter.

Consistent with the second quarter in the previous year, lease financing revenue decreased as a result of lower promotional income. This cyclical decline in promotional income was partially offset by higher rental income and residual gains. Excluding promotional income, lease financing revenue increased by approximately 10%.

Non-interest expense decreased slightly due to a reduction in commissions expense resulting from a decrease in lease financing revenue in the quarter.

Leasing Segment operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $5.5 million, or 54.4%, compared to the same period last year due largely to an increase in lease financing revenue as a result of higher residual gains and promotional income. Additionally, income tax expense declined as a result of a decrease in the effective tax rate.

(1) 
2017 amounts were revised as certain costs to originate mortgage loans were reclassified from mortgage origination revenue to other operating expenses.
(2) 
Includes health insurance, payroll taxes, 401(k) and profit sharing contributions, overtime, and temporary help expenses.

On April 12, 2018, the Company announced that it will be discontinuing its national mortgage origination business, which includes substantially all originations outside of the Company's consumer banking footprint in the Chicagoland area.

As expected, total non-interest income declined faster than expenses as a result of the wind down. The first phase of staff reductions was completed in early July. The wind down is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018. We project that, excluding any impact of the pending Fifth Third merger, remaining operations will earn quarterly pre-tax income of approximately $7.4 million beginning in the first quarter of 2019. We also continue to expect one-time exit expenses to range from $37 to $41 million.

(1) 
2017 amounts were revised as certain costs to originate mortgage loans were reclassified from mortgage origination revenue to other operating expenses.
(2) 
Changes due to collection or realization of expected cash flows.
(3) 
Approximately $500 thousand of the second quarter 2018 fair value change was due to an increase in delinquencies in the second quarter of 2018 resulting in higher anticipated collection costs and lower mortgage servicing rights asset value. In addition, approximately $300 thousand of the fair value change was due to higher than expected prepayments of mortgage servicing rights in the second quarter of 2018. Approximately $800 thousand of the fourth quarter 2017 fair value change was due to an increase in delinquencies in the fourth quarter of 2017.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this document and in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in press releases or other public stockholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “believe,” “will,” “should,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “guidance,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These statements may relate to our future financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenues or earnings projections, or other financial items. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) the possibility that our actual results on selected items relating to our mortgage operations for which we have provided projections or estimates in this document will be materially different from such projections or estimates; (2) the ability to satisfy closing conditions to our pending merger with Fifth Third, including the approvals by our stockholders, on the expected terms and schedule; (3) the ability to obtain regulatory approvals required to complete our pending merger with Fifth Third, and the timing and conditions for such approvals; (4) delays in closing our pending merger with Fifth Third; (5) disruptions to our business resulting from our pending merger with Fifth Third; (6) the risk that funds obtained from capital raising activities will not be utilized efficiently or effectively; (7) expected revenues, cost savings, synergies, and other benefits from our other merger and acquisition activities might not be realized within the expected time frames or at all and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; (8) the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses, which could necessitate additional provisions for loan losses, resulting both from originated loans and loans acquired from other financial institutions; (9) the quality and composition of our securities portfolio; (10) competitive pressures among depository institutions; (11) interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior, net interest margin and the value of our mortgage servicing rights; (12) the possibility that our mortgage banking business may experience increased volatility in its revenues and earnings and the possibility that the profitability of our mortgage banking business could be significantly reduced, both before and after the discontinuation of our national mortgage origination business, if we are unable to originate and sell mortgage loans at profitable margins or if changes in interest rates negatively impact the value of our mortgage servicing rights; (13) the impact of repricing and competitors’ pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; (14) fluctuations in real estate values; (15) results of examinations of us and our bank subsidiary by regulatory authorities and the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, limit our business activities, require us to change our business mix, increase our allowance for loan and lease losses, write-down asset values or increase our capital levels, or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; (16) our ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers’ needs and developments in the market place; (17) the possibility that security measures implemented might not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a cyber attack or cyber theft, and that such security measures might not protect against systems failures or interruptions; (18) our ability to realize the residual values of our direct finance, leveraged, and operating leases; (19) our ability to access cost-effective funding; (20) changes in financial markets; (21) changes in economic conditions in general and in the Chicago metropolitan area in particular; (22) the costs, effects, and outcomes of litigation; (23) new legislation or regulatory changes, including but not limited to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act") and regulations adopted thereunder, changes in capital requirements pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, changes in the interpretation and/or application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry and changes in federal and/or state tax laws, including but not limited to the TCJ Act, or interpretations thereof by taxing authorities; (24) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; and (25) future goodwill impairment due to changes in our business, changes in market conditions, or other factors.

We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made.

(1) 
Annualized operating return, excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, on average assets is computed by dividing annualized operating earnings, excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, by average total assets. Annualized operating return, excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, on average common equity is computed by dividing annualized operating earnings, excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, less dividends on preferred shares by average common equity. Operating earnings, excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, is defined as net income as reported less non-core items, net of tax and less operating earnings (loss) from our Mortgage Banking Segment.
(2) 
Annualized cash return on average tangible common equity is computed by dividing net cash flow available to common stockholders (net income available to common stockholders, plus other intangibles amortization expense, net of tax benefit) by average tangible common equity (average common stockholders' equity less average goodwill and average other intangibles, net of tax benefit).
(3)

(4) 
Accruing restructured loans consist of loans that have been modified and are performing in accordance with those modified terms as of the dates indicated.

Potential problem loans increased in the second quarter of 2018 due to migrations from the health care and asset-based lending portfolios.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This document contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include operating earnings, operating earnings excluding the Mortgage Banking Segment, core non-interest income, core non-interest income to revenues (including and excluding Mortgage Banking Segment) (with non-core items excluded from both core non-interest income and revenues), core non-interest expense, non-core non-interest income, and non-core non-interest expense, net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis excluding acquisition accounting discount accretion on bank merger loans, efficiency ratio (including and excluding Mortgage Banking Segment), and the ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets with net gains and losses on investment securities, net losses on disposal of other assets, recovery of low to moderate income real estate investment, and increase and decrease in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest income components of these ratios and branch exit and facilities impairment charges, merger related and repositioning expenses, restructuring severance charges, one-time bonuses, loss on extinguishment of debt, increase and decrease in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation, and contribution to MB Financial Charitable Foundation excluded from the non-interest expense components of these ratios, with tax equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, as applicable; ratios of tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets; tangible book value per common share; annualized operating return, excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, on average assets, annualized operating return, excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, on average common equity, annualized cash return, excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, on average tangible common equity, and annualized cash operating return, excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, on average tangible common equity. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons.

Management believes that operating earnings, operating earnings excluding Mortgage Banking Segment, core and non-core non-interest income, and core and non-core non-interest expense are useful in assessing our core operating performance and in understanding the primary drivers of our non-interest income and non-interest expense when comparing periods.

Management believes that operating earnings adjusted for merger related and repositioning expenses is a useful measure because it excludes expenses that can significantly fluctuate from acquisition to acquisition. In addition, management believes that excluding these expenses provides investors and analysts a measure to better understand the Company's primary operations when comparing the periods presented in the earnings release.

The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income, net interest margin, tax-exempt interest income, and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a Federal tax rate of 21% for 2018 and 35% for 2017. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. For the same reasons, management believes that the tax equivalent adjustments to tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance are useful.

Management also believes that by excluding net gains and losses on investment securities, net losses on disposal of other assets, recovery of low to moderate income real estate investment, and increase and decrease in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest income components, and excluding branch exit and facilities impairment charges, merger related and repositioning expenses, restructuring severance charges, one-time bonuses, loss on extinguishment of debt, increase and decrease in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation, and contribution to MB Financial Charitable Foundation from the non-interest expense components, of the efficiency ratio and the ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets, these ratios better reflect our core operating performance, as the excluded items do not pertain to our core business operations and their exclusion makes these ratios more meaningful when comparing our operating results from period to period.

The other measures exclude the acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax benefit, in determining tangible assets, tangible equity, tangible common equity, and average tangible common equity and exclude other intangible amortization expense, net of tax benefit, in determining net cash flow available to common stockholders. Management believes the presentation of these other financial measures, excluding the impact of such items, provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial results, as they provide a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital, as well as our capital strength. Management also believes that providing measures that exclude balances of acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that these are standard financial measures used in the banking industry to evaluate performance.

The non-GAAP disclosures contained herein should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
