INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS
2019 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 23, 2020 - Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) reported fourth quarter 2019 net income of $13.9
million, or $0.61 per diluted share, versus net income of $9.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2019, the Company reported net income of $46.4 million, or $2.00 per diluted share. This
compares to net income of $39.8 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, in 2018. The increase in 2019 fourth quarter earnings as compared to 2018, primarily reflects an increase in non-interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses
that was partially offset by increases in non-interest expense and income tax expense. The increase in full year 2019 earnings as compared to 2018, primarily reflects increases in net interest income and non-interest income as well as a decrease in
the provision for loan losses that were partially offset by increases in non-interest expense and income tax expense.
Significant items impacting comparable fourth quarter and full year 2019 and 2018 results include the following:
| • |
A change in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights (the “MSR Change”) of a positive $0.6 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after taxes) and a negative $6.4 million ($0.22 per diluted share, after
taxes) for the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2019, respectively, as compared to a negative MSR Change of $2.4 million ($0.08 per diluted share, after taxes) and a positive MSR change of $0.2 million ($0.01 per diluted share,
after taxes) for the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2018, respectively.
|
| • |
A reduction in non-interest expense of $0.4 million ($0.01 per diluted share, after taxes) and $0.8 million ($0.03 per diluted share, after taxes) for the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2019, respectively, related to the
Company’s use of its Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) Small Bank Assessment Credit (the “Assessment Credit”). The Company will not have any remaining Assessment Credit to apply against 2020 FDIC deposit insurance expense.
|
| • |
The acquisition of TCSB Bancorp, Inc. (“TCSB”), and its subsidiary, Traverse City State Bank, on Apr. 1, 2018 (referred to as the “Merger” or “TCSB Acquisition”) and the associated data processing systems conversions in June 2018.
The total assets, loans and deposits acquired in the Merger were approximately $342.8 million, $295.8 million (including $1.3 million of loans held for sale) and $287.7 million, respectively.
|
| • |
Merger related expenses of $0.1 million ($0.004 per diluted share, after taxes) and $3.5 million ($0.115 per diluted share, after taxes) for the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2018, respectively.
|
1
The fourth quarter of 2019 was highlighted by:
| • |
Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity of 1.56% and 15.92%, respectively (these ratios decrease to 1.47% and 14.97%, respectively, when excluding the after tax impact of the MSR Change and the Assessment
Credit);
|
| • |
39.7% and 48.8% increases in net income and diluted earnings per share respectively, over the prior year.
|
| • |
Growth in net gains on mortgage loans of $4.4 million, or 215.3%, compared to the year ago quarter.
|
| • |
Payment of an 18 cent per share dividend on Nov. 15, 2019.
|
The Company’s full year 2019 results were highlighted by:
| • |
Return on average assets and return on average equity of 1.35% and 13.63%, respectively (these ratios increase to 1.48% and 14.94%, respectively, when excluding the after tax impact of the MSR Change and the Assessment Credit);
|
| • |
16.6% and 19.0% increases in net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively, over the prior year.
|
| • |
Growth in net interest income of $9.3 million, or 8.2%.
|
| • |
Total portfolio loan growth of $142.5 million, or 5.5%.
|
| • |
Mortgage loan origination volume topping $1 billion for only the second time in the Company’s history.
|
| • |
A $204.3 million, or 7.7%, increase in total deposits, excluding brokered deposits.
|
| • |
A 9.1% increase in tangible book value per share to $14.08 at Dec. 31, 2019.
|
William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “We are very pleased with our fourth quarter and full year 2019
results. This performance reflects strong mortgage banking revenues, generally favorable asset quality metrics, and continued loan growth. Excluding the after-tax impacts of the MSR Changes, Assessment
Credit and the Merger related expenses, net income and diluted earnings per share increased by 9.5% and 16.3%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2019 as compared to the prior year. As we look ahead to 2020 and beyond, we will continue to
focus on our key strategic initiatives, including: growth, process improvement, and effective risk management. Reflecting our success and our optimism about the future, we recently announced an 11% increase in our quarterly common stock cash
dividend to 20 cents per share, to be paid on Feb. 14, 2020.”
Operating Results
The Company’s net interest income totaled $30.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of $0.04 million, or 0.1% from the year-ago period, and a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.5%, from the third
quarter of 2019. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.70% during the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 3.93% in the year-ago quarter and 3.76% in the
third quarter of 2019. The year-over-year quarterly increase in net interest income is due to an increase in average interest-earning assets that was partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin. Average interest-earning assets were
$3.32 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $3.12 billion in the year-ago quarter and $3.29 billion in the third quarter of 2019.
For the full-year of 2019, net interest income totaled $122.6 million, an increase of $9.3 million, or 8.2% from 2018. This increase is due to an increase in average interest-earning assets that was partially offset
by a decline in the net interest margin. The Company’s net interest margin for all of 2019 declined to 3.80% compared to 3.88% in 2018. Full year 2019 and 2018 interest income on loans includes $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of
accretion of the discount recorded on the TCSB loans acquired in the Merger. Average interest-earning assets totaled $3.24 billion in 2019 compared to $2.94 billion in 2018.
The decline in the net interest margin in 2019 as compared to 2018 primarily reflects the impact of lower market interest rates and a flattening of the yield curve.
Non-interest income totaled $15.6 million and $47.7 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and full year of 2019, compared to $9.0 million and $44.8 million in the respective comparable year ago periods.
These variances were primarily due to changes in mortgage banking related revenues (net gains on mortgage loans and mortgage loan servicing, net), as described below.
Net gains on mortgage loans were $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $2.0 million in the year-ago quarter. For the full year of 2019, net gains on mortgage loans totaled $20.0 million compared to
$10.6 million in 2018. These increases were primarily due to higher mortgage loan origination and sales volumes in 2019 reflecting lower market interest rates, which have increased mortgage loan refinance activity.
2
Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income of $1.3 million and a loss of $1.5 million in the fourth quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. For all of 2019, mortgage loan servicing, net, generated a loss of $3.3
million as compared to income of $3.2 million in 2018. This activity is summarized in the following table:

Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights totaled $19.2 million at Dec. 31, 2019 compared to $21.4 million at Dec. 31, 2018. As of Dec. 31, 2019, the Company serviced approximately $2.58 billion in mortgage loans
for others on which servicing rights have been capitalized.
Non-interest expenses totaled $29.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $26.8 million in the year-ago period. For the full year of 2019, non-interest expenses totaled $111.7 million versus $107.5
million in 2018. These year-over-year increases in non-interest expense are primarily due to higher compensation, health insurance, data processing and interchange costs as well as lower net gains on other real estate and repossessed assets. In
particular, the fourth quarter 2019 increase in compensation and employee benefits as compared to 2018, in part reflects the Company’s strong financial performance that resulted in an increase in the year-end accrual for incentive compensation.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $3.3 million and $11.3 million in the fourth quarter and full-year of 2019, respectively. This compares to an income tax expense of $2.3 million and $9.3 million in the
fourth quarter and full-year of 2018, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to higher pre-tax earnings in 2019.
Asset Quality
Commenting on asset quality, President and CEO Kessel added: “Non-performing loans and assets as well as loan net charge-offs remain at low levels. In addition, thirty- to eighty-nine day delinquency rates at Dec.
31, 2019 were 0.02% for commercial loans and 0.45% for mortgage and consumer loans. These early stage delinquency rates continue to be well-managed.”

|
Non-performing loans increased $1.0 million from Dec. 31, 2018. This increase principally reflects an increase in non-performing mortgage loans partially offset by a decrease in non-performing commercial loans due
primarily to pay-downs and transfers to other real estate. Other real estate and repossessed assets totaled $1.9 million at Dec. 31, 2019, compared to $1.3 million at Dec. 31, 2018. This increase is primarily due to the addition of a $0.6 million
commercial office building located in Grand Rapids during the second quarter of 2019.
The provision for loan losses was a credit of $0.2 million and an expense of $0.6 million in the fourth quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The provision for loan losses was an expense of $0.8 million and $1.5
million for all of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The level of the provision for loan losses in each period reflects the Company’s overall assessment of the allowance for loan losses, taking into consideration factors such as loan mix, levels of
non-performing and classified loans, and loan net charge-offs. The Company recorded loan net recoveries of $0.2 million and net charge offs of $0.1 million in the fourth quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. For all of 2019 and 2018, the
Company recorded loan net recoveries of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. At Dec. 31, 2019, the allowance for loan losses totaled $26.1 million, or 0.96% of portfolio loans (1.01% when excluding the remaining TCSB acquired loan
balances), compared to $24.9 million, or 0.96% of portfolio loans, at Dec. 31, 2018.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital
Total assets were $3.56 billion at Dec. 31, 2019, an increase of $211.4 million from Dec. 31, 2018, primarily reflecting growth in securities available for sale and loans. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were
$2.73 billion at Dec. 31, 2019, compared to $2.58 billion at Dec. 31, 2018.
Deposits totaled $3.04 billion at Dec. 31, 2019, an increase of $123.3 million from Dec. 31, 2018. The increase in deposits is primarily due to growth in reciprocal deposits that was partially offset by a decline in
brokered time deposits.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $65.3 million at Dec. 31, 2019, versus $70.2 million at Dec. 31, 2018. Securities available for sale totaled $518.4 million at Dec. 31, 2019, compared to $427.9 million at Dec. 31,
2018.
Total shareholders’ equity was $350.2 million at Dec. 31, 2019, or 9.82% of total assets. Tangible common equity totaled $316.5 million at Dec. 31, 2019, or $14.08 per share. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary,
Independent Bank, remains significantly above “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:

Share Repurchase Plan
On Dec. 17, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the 2020 share repurchase plan. Under the terms of the 2020 share repurchase plan, the Company is authorized to buy back up to 1,120,000 shares, or
approximately 5%, of its outstanding common stock. The repurchase plan commenced on Jan. 1, 2020 and, subject to the Board’s authority to amend or suspend the plan, and will last through Dec.
31, 2020.
During the 2019, the Company repurchased 1,204,688 shares at a weighted average purchase price of $21.82 per share (no shares were repurchased in the fourth quarter of 2019).
The Company intends to accomplish the 2020 repurchases through open market transactions, though the Company could execute repurchases through other means, such as privately
negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, securities law restrictions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, other regulatory requirements,
potential alternative uses for capital, and the Company’s financial performance. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be modified or suspended at any time at the
Company’s discretion. The Company expects to fund any repurchases from cash on hand.
