Chemical Financial Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2008 Results

MIDLAND, Mich., October 27, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chemical Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:CHFC) today announced a third quarter 2008 net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, versus net income of $10.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2007.

Net income was $18.3 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to net income of $29.2 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

"Although third quarter net interest income was up significantly due primarily to our net interest margin increasing 52 basis points from the prior year's quarter, the increase was insufficient to overcome the previously disclosed $22 million loan loss provision we incurred during the quarter. The significantly higher provision resulted from the combination of deteriorating credit quality and a $10.1 million loss attributable to a single borrower engaged in a fraudulent loan transaction. The fraud loss, by itself, had a negative impact of $0.29 per share, after-tax, on our reported earnings," said David B. Ramaker, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Chemical Financial Corporation.

"The rapid deterioration in the national economy over the past quarter has had a significant impact on Michigan's struggling economy, which has translated into increases in loan losses, loan delinquencies and nonperforming assets. As a result, we increased our loan loss reserves. We felt that this action was necessary in the current environment, but are not satisfied with our reported earnings this quarter," noted Ramaker.

"At the same time, our strong balance sheet, healthy capital position and sufficient liquidity have left Chemical Financial well positioned even in this difficult economic environment. Earlier this month, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.295 per share for the fourth quarter of 2008, a reflection of the Company's belief that our earnings potential is high and our capital position strong. In fact, at quarter's end, our Leverage and Tier One Risk-Based capital ratios remained more than double the regulatory benchmarks for well-capitalized institutions. Despite the struggles faced by the national and Michigan economies, we are poised to not only weather



the current economic crisis, but to capitalize on opportunities which present themselves," added Ramaker.

Net interest income was $36.72 million in the third quarter of 2008, an increase of $4.25 million, or 13.1 percent, from third quarter 2007 net interest income of $32.47 million and an increase of $1.08 million, or 3.0 percent, from second quarter 2008 net interest income of $35.64 million. The increases in net interest income were attributable primarily to the increases in net interest margin. The net interest margin (on a tax-equivalent basis) in the third quarter of 2008 was 4.20 percent, up substantially from 3.68 percent in the third quarter of 2007 and up from 4.11 percent in the second quarter of 2008. The increases in net interest margin were primarily attributable to decreases in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities exceeding decreases in rates earned on interest-earning assets, as deposits repriced more rapidly than loans in the falling interest rate environment experienced in the past 12 months.

Total assets were $3.79 billion at September 30, 2008, up slightly from $3.75 billion at December 31, 2007 and down from $3.82 billion at September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2008, total loans were $2.93 billion, versus $2.80 billion at December 31, 2007 and $2.81 billion at September 30, 2007. Federal funds sold were $2 million at September 30, 2008, down from $58 million at December 31, 2007 and $88 million at September 30, 2007. Investment securities were $566 million at September 30, 2008, down from $595 million at December 31, 2007 and down from $632 million at September 30, 2007. During the first nine months of 2008, the Company utilized excess liquidity to fund approximately $129 million in loan growth and reduce wholesale borrowings.

Total deposits were $2.94 billion at September 30, 2008, up slightly from $2.88 billion at December 31, 2007, although down from $2.97 billion at September 30, 2007. Long-term wholesale borrowings, comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, totaled $90 million at September 30, 2008, down $60 million, or 40 percent, from $150 million at December 31, 2007 and down $35 million, or 28 percent, from $125 million at September 30, 2007.

The provision for loan losses was $22.0 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2007. Included in the provision for the third quarter of 2008 was $10.1 million attributable to the previously

- -2-


disclosed fraudulent loan transaction. Absent this event, the provision for the third quarter of 2008 would have been $11.9 million. Net loan charge-offs were $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2008, up substantially from $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in charge-offs in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to the second quarter of 2008, was due primarily to the fraudulent loan transaction. Absent this transaction, net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2008 would have been $5.2 million.

At September 30, 2008, nonperforming assets totaled $98.4 million, up from $87.8 million at June 30, 2008 and up from $62.8 million at September 30, 2007. Nonperforming loans were $82.7 million at September 30, 2008, compared to $71.9 million at June 30, 2008 and $53.6 million at September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2008, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 2.83 percent, up from 2.52 percent at June 30, 2008 and up from 1.90 percent at September 30, 2007.

The allowance for loan losses of $46.4 million at September 30, 2008 was up 16.9 percent from $39.7 million at June 30, 2008. The allowance at September 30, 2008 was 1.58 percent of total loans, up from 1.39 percent of total loans at June 30, 2008 and up from 1.36 percent of total loans at September 30, 2007. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans was 56 percent at September 30, 2008, up from 55 percent at June 30, 2008, but down from 72 percent at September 30, 2007. As part of Chemical Financial Corporation's ongoing credit portfolio monitoring program, the Company makes periodic assessments of the quality of each nonperforming credit, the financial condition of the borrower and the value of any underlying collateral to identify potential loss exposure on nonperforming loans. The Company's nonperforming loans at September 30, 2008 included commercial, real estate commercial and residential development construction loans totaling $27.3 million, which have been analyzed and deem ed to have sufficient collateral values so as not to require a specific impairment reserve on these loans at September 30, 2008.

Total noninterest income was $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2008, down $1.0 million, or 9.0 percent, from $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease from the prior year's quarter was attributable to the recognition of a $0.4 million other-than-temporary impairment loss on the value of a single issue debt security in the Company's available-for-sale securities

- -3-


portfolio and noninterest income in the third quarter of 2007 including $1.0 million of nonrecurring income from the recognition of insurance proceeds from fire damage to a branch building.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2008 were $26.8 million, up $1.6 million, or 6.3 percent, from $25.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase was attributable to higher operating costs incurred across the Company's expense base, particularly in the areas of compensation expense, loan collection costs, other real estate write-downs and operating costs and marketing expenses related to our "Save Michigan" advertising campaign. The Company's efficiency ratio was 56.5 percent in the third quarter of 2008, up from 55.8 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and down from 57.1 percent in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in the efficiency ratio from the prior year's quarter was primarily attributable to the increase in net interest income.

The Company's effective federal income tax rate was 48.1% in the third quarter of 2008, compared to 31.4% in the third quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company's effective federal income tax rates were 31.5% and 32.1%, respectively. The differences between the federal statutory income tax rates and the Company's effective federal income tax rates are primarily a function of the proportion of the Company's interest income exempt from federal taxation, nondeductible interest expense and other nondeductible expenses relative to pretax income and tax credits.

The Company's return on average assets during the third quarter of 2008 was (0.11) percent, down from 1.03 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and 1.10 percent in the third quarter of 2007. At September 30, 2008, the Company's book value stood at $21.19 per share versus $21.04 per share at September 30, 2007.

Chemical Financial Corporation is the third-largest bank holding company headquartered in Michigan. The Company operates through a single subsidiary bank, Chemical Bank, with 129 banking offices spread over 31 counties in the lower peninsula of Michigan. At September 30, 2008, the Company had total assets of $3.79 billion. Chemical Financial Corporation common stock trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol CHFC and is one of the issues comprising the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
