• The decrease in the base case modeled NII is due to an adverse shift in the funding mix and higher than modeled betas on interest bearing deposits during the quarter. These changes were partially offset by earning asset growth and a favorable change in earning asset composition. • There was a modest increase in the sensitivity to rising rates during 4Q22. The change in sensitivity is primarily due to a shift in the funding mix with a decline in DDA and savings accounts and an increase in wholesale funding. • Base-rate is a static balance sheet applying the spot yield curve from the valuation date. • Stable core funding base. Transaction accounts fund 42.3% of assets and other non-maturity deposits fund another 22.6% of assets. Moderate wholesale funding of just 7.5% of assets. • 28.0% of assets reprice in 1 month and 41.3% reprice in the next 12 months. • Continually evaluating strategies to manage NII through hedging as well as product pricing and structure. 13Interest Rate Risk Management Changes in Net Interest Income Simulation analyses calculate the change in net interest income over the next twelve months, under immediate parallel shifts in interest rates, based upon a static statement of financial condition, which includes derivative instruments, and does not consider loan fees. -200 -100 Base-rate +100 +200 Net Interest Income 163,958$ 166,618$ 167,349$ 166,977$ 165,771$ Change from Base -2.03% -0.44% - -0.22% -0.94% -200 -100 Base-rate +100 +200 Net Interest Income 164,135$ 167,764$ 169,963$ 170,676$ 170,446$ Change from Base -3.43% -1.29% - 0.42% 0.28% (Dollars in 000's) December 31, 2022 September 30, 2022 (Dollars in 000's)


 
Strong Non-interest Income 14  Diverse sources of non-interest income, representing 18.4% of operating revenue in 4Q’22.  The $0.2 million comparative quarterly increase in service charges on deposit accounts is primarily attributed to fees related to Treasury Management.  Mortgage banking: − $1.5 million in net gains on mortgage loans in 4Q’22 vs. $5.6 million in the year ago quarter. A combination of lower mortgage loan sales volume, reduced profit margins and fair value adjustments led to this decrease. − $138.9 million in mortgage loan originations in 4Q’22 vs. $424.6 million in 4Q’21 and $209.0 million in 3Q’22. − 4Q’22 mortgage loan servicing includes a $0.5 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after tax) decrease in fair value adjustment due to price compared to an increase of $0.6 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after tax) in the year ago quarter.Source: Company documents. $61.9M 2022 YTD Non-interest Income (thousands) Non-interest Income Trends ($M) Highlights Interchange income, $13,955 Service Chg Dep, $12,288 Gain (Loss)- Mortgage Sale, $6,431 Gain (Loss)- Securities, $(275) Mortgage loan servicing, net, $18,773 Investment and insurance commissions, $2,898 Bank owned life insurance, $360 Other income, $7,479 $27.0 $22.4 $26.4 $14.8 $19.7 $15.8 $18.9 $14.6 $16.9 $11.5 45.8% 41.9% 46.6% 32.0% 36.8% 30.3% 35.4% 27.6% 27.3% 18.4% 0.0 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0 50.0 $- $5.0 $10.0 $15.0 $20.0 $25.0 $30.0 Q3'20 Q4'20 Q1'21 Q2'21 Q3'21 Q4'21 Q1'22 Q2'22 Q3'22 Q4'22 Non-interest Income Non-interest Inc/Operating Rev (%)


 
Focus on Improved Efficiency 15 Source: Company documents. Non-interest Expense ($M) Highlights Efficiency Ratio (4 quarter rolling average)  4Q’22 efficiency ratio of 60.8%.  Compensation and employee benefits expense of $20.4 million, an increase of $0.5 million from the prior year quarter.  Compensation (salaries and wages) increased $1.3 million due to raises that were generally effective at the start of the year, a decreased level of compensation that was deferred in the fourth quarter of 2022 as direct origination costs (lower mortgage loan origination volume), and an increase in lending personnel.  $0.3 million decrease in performance based compensation expense accrual.  Payroll taxes and employee benefits decreased $0.5 million due to lower payroll taxes, health care costs and lower mortgage incentives.  Data processing costs decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to lower debit card production costs and lower net mortgage processing costs.  Opportunities exist to gain additional efficiencies as we continue to optimize our delivery channels. $33.6 $32.7 $30.0 $32.5 $34.5 $34.0 $31.5 $32.4 $32.4 $32.1 $- $5.0 $10.0 $15.0 $20.0 $25.0 $30.0 $35.0 Q3'20 Q4'20 Q1'21 Q2'21 Q3'21 Q4'21 Q1'22 Q2'22 Q3'22 Q4'22 Compensation and Benefits Loan and Collection Occupancy Data Processing FDIC Insurance Other Total 59.8% 55.9% 59.9% 61.7% 63.2% 64.8% 63.1% 61.3% 59.8% Q4'20 Q1'21 Q2'21 Q3'21 Q4'21 1Q'22 2Q'22 3Q'22 4Q'22


 
2022 Outlook Update Category Outlook Lending Continued growth IBCP goal of low double digit (approximately 10%) overall loan growth is based on increases in commercial loans, mortgage loans and consumer loans. Expect much of this growth to occur in the last three quarters of 2022. This growth forecast also assumes an improving Michigan economy. Q4 Update: Total portfolio loans increased $55.5 million (6.5% annualized) in 4Q’22 and $560.3 million (19.3% annualized) for full year 2022 which is higher than our forecasted range. Commercial and mortgage loans had positive growth in the fourth quarter while installment loans decreased. Net Interest Income Growth driven primarily by higher average earning assets The elimination of accelerated fee accretion ($8.9 million in 2021) related to Paycheck Protection Program will make net interest income (NII) growth challenging in 2022. IBCP goal low single digit (1%-3%) growth is primarily supported by an increase in earning assets. Expect the net interest margin (NIM) to trend lower (0.10% - 0.15%) in 2022 compared to full-year 2021. Primary driver is a reduction in earing asset yield. The forecast assumes a 0.25% increase in June and September in the federal funds rate and long-term interest rates up slightly over year end 2021 levels. Q4 Update: 4Q’22 net interest income was $6.3 million (18.4%) higher than the prior year quarter. The net interest margin was 3.52% for the quarter, up 0.03% from the linked quarter and up 0.39% from the prior year quarter. The 18.4% increase in net interest income is due to an increase in average interest-earning assets as well as an increase in net interest margin. Provision for Credit Losses Steady asset quality metrics Very difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels under CECL will be particularly sensitive to loan growth and mix, projected economic conditions, watch credit levels and loan default volumes. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 1.63% at 12/31/21. A full year 2022 provision (expense) for credit losses of approximately 0.15% to 0.20% of average total portfolio loans would not be unreasonable. Q4 Update: The provision for credit losses was an expense of $1.4 million (0.16% annualized) in 4Q’22 which was within our forecasted range of an expense of 0.15% to 0.20% of average portfolio loans. The year-to-date provision for credit losses was an expense of $5.3 (0.15%) which is within our forecasted range. The 4Q’22 provision expense was primarily the result of an increase in subjective allocations primarily related to general economic conditions and loan growth. Non-interest Income IBCP forecasted 2022 quarterly range of $13 million to $17 million with the total for the year down 20% to 25% from 2021 actual of $76.6 million Expect mortgage loan origination volumes in 2022 to be down by approximately 21%, interchange income in 2022 to increase approximately 5% as compared to 2021 and service charges on deposits to be collectively comparable to 2021 (a decline in NSF fees to be largely offset by an increase in treasury management related service charges). Q4 Update: Non-interest income totaled $11.5 million in 4Q’22, which was below the forecasted range. 4Q’22 mortgage loan originations, sales and gains totaled $138.9 million, $80.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The decrease in net gains on mortgage loans sold was primarily due to lower sales volume and decreased profit margin on mortgage loan sales. Mortgage loan servicing generated a gain of $0.6 million in 4Q’22 due primarily to a an increase in mortgage loan servicing revenue. The $1.3 million (14.3%) comparative year-to-date increase in other income is primarily attributed to a gain on sale ($1.0 million) of two bank owned properties. Non-interest Expenses IBCP forecasted 2022 quarterly range of $30.5 million to $32.5 million with the total for the year down (3%-5%) from the 2021 actual of $131.0 million. The primary driver is a decrease in total compensation and employee benefits due primarily to a reduction in incentive compensation, conversion related expense and costs(recoveries) related to unfunded lending commitments. Q4 Update: : Total non-interest expense was $32.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, within our forecasted range. The $0.5 million comparative quarterly increase in compensation and employee benefits was primarily due to lower incentive compensation. The $0.4 million comparative quarterly decrease in data processing expense is primarily related to lower debit card production costs and lower net mortgage processing costs. Income Taxes Approximately an 18.5% effective income tax rate in 2022. This assumes a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate during 2022. Q4 Update: Actual effective income tax rate of 18.8 for the 4Q’22 and 18.6% for the full year 2022. Share Repurchases 2022 share repurchase authorization at approximately 5% (1.1 million) of outstanding shares. Expect total share repurchases in 2022 at the mid-point of this authorization. Q4 Update: There were no share repurchases in 4Q’22. The Company repurchased 181,586 (16.5% of repurchase authorization) shares at an average price of $22.08 for the full year of 2022. 16


 
2023 Outlook Category Outlook Lending Continued growth IBCP goal of low double digit (approximately 10%-12%) overall loan growth is based on increases in commercial loans and mortgage loans with installment loans remaining flat. Expect much of this growth to occur in the last three quarters of 2023. This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy. Net Interest Income Growth driven primarily by higher average earning assets IBCP goal of high single digit (7%-9%) growth is primarily supported by an increase in earning assets and a favorable shift in the earning asset base. Expect the net interest margin (NIM) to be stable to slightly higher (0.05% - 0.10%) in 2023 compared to full-year 2022. Primary driver is an increase in earing asset yield. The forecast assumes a 0.50% Fed rate increase in February, a 0.25% increase in March and a 0.25% decrease in September and December in the federal funds rate while long-term interest rates decline slightly over year-end 2022 levels. Provision for Credit Losses Steady asset quality metrics Very difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels under CECL will be particularly sensitive to loan growth and mix, projected economic conditions, watch credit levels and loan default volumes. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 1.51% at 12/31/22. A full year 2022 provision (expense) for credit losses of approximately 0.25% to 0.35% of average total portfolio loans would not be unreasonable. Non-interest Income IBCP forecasted 2023 quarterly range of $11 million to $13 million with the total for the year down 20% to 25% from 2022 actual of $61.9 million Expect mortgage loan origination volumes in 2023 to be down by approximately 20%, a decline in mortgage loan servicing net of approximately 80%, interchange income in 2022 to increase approximately 2.0% to 3.0% as compared to 2022 and service charges on deposits to be collectively comparable to 2022 (a decline in NSF fees to be largely offset by an increase in treasury management related service charges). Non-interest Expenses IBCP forecasted 2023 quarterly range of $32.0 million to $33.5 million with the total for the year up 1.5% to 2.5% from the 2022 actual of $127.7 million. The primary driver is an increase in data processing and FDIC deposit insurance premiums. Income Taxes Approximately an 18.8% effective income tax rate in 2023. This assumes a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate during 2023. Share Repurchases 2023 share repurchase authorization at approximately 5% (1.1 million) of outstanding shares. Share repurchases will be dependent on capital levels, capital allocation options and share price trends. We are not modeling any share repurchases in 2023. 17
