INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS 2022 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 26, 2022 - Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) reported second quarter 2022 net income of $13.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, versus net income of $12.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the prior- year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $31.0 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, compared to net income of $34.4 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.
 
William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “I am pleased with our second quarter 2022 performance in which we generated strong core results with $3.1 million growth in net interest income, a 26 basis point expansion of our net interest margin on a linked quarter basis, and net growth in each category of loans and as well as growth in total deposits. In addition, our asset quality metrics continue to be very good, with a low level of past dues, low level of commercial watch credits, low level of non-performing assets, net loan recoveries for the quarter, and an allowance for credit losses to total loans of 1.47%.  As we head into the second half of 2022, our focus will continue to be on the rotation of our earning asset mix out of lower yielding investments into higher yielding loans, growing our deposit base while managing our costs of funds, and controlling our expenses. While there exists much uncertainty in the marketplace, we are excited about the momentum we have in our markets and look forward to continuing these growth trends for the remainder of 2022.”

Highlights for the second quarter of 2022 include:


Increases in net income and diluted earnings per share of 4.9% and 8.9%, respectively, over the second quarter of 2021;


Net growth in portfolio loans of $254.8 million (or 34.0% annualized);


Annualized return on average assets and average equity of 1.10% and 15.68%, respectively;


An increase in net interest income of 14.9% over the second quarter of 2021;


Continued strong asset quality metrics as evidenced by net loan recoveries during the quarter as well as a low level of non-performing loans and non-performing assets; and


The payment of a 22 cent per share dividend on common stock on May 16, 2022.

Highlights for the first six months of 2022 include:


Annualized return on average assets and average equity of 1.32% and 17.63%, respectively;


An increase in net interest income of $7.4 million or 12.0% over the first six months of 2021;


Net growth in portfolio loans of $353.8 million (or 24.6% annualized); and

Operating Results
 
The Company’s net interest income totaled $36.1 million during the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $4.7 million, or 14.9% from the year-ago period, and up $3.1 million, or 9.3%, from the first quarter of 2022. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.26% during the second quarter of 2022, compared to 3.02% in the year-ago period, and 3.00% in the first quarter of 2022. The year-over-year quarterly increase in net interest income was due to an increase in average interest-earning assets and an increase in the net interest margin. Average interest-earning assets were $4.49 billion in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $4.22 billion in the year ago quarter and $4.49 billion in the first quarter of 2022.
 
For the first six months of 2022, net interest income totaled $69.1 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 12.0% from the first six months in 2021. The Company’s net interest margin for the first six months of 2022 was 3.13% compared to 3.04% in 2021. The increase in net interest income for the first six months of 2022 compared to 2021 was also due to an increase in average interest- earning assets and an increase in the net interest margin.
 
Non-interest income totaled $14.6 million and $33.6 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, compared to $14.8 million and $41.2 million in the respective comparable year ago periods. These changes were primarily due to variances in mortgage banking related revenues (net gains on mortgage loans and mortgage loan servicing, net).
 
Net gains on mortgage loans in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, were approximately $1.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively. For the first six months of 2022, net gains on mortgage loans totaled $2.1 million compared to $21.9 million in 2021. The decrease in net gains on mortgage loans was primarily due to lower profit margins on mortgage loan sales, a decrease in the volume of mortgage loans sold and fair value adjustments on the mortgage loan pipeline.
 
Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income of $4.2 million and expense of $2.0 million in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the first six months of 2022 and 2021, mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income of $13.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The significant variances in mortgage loan servicing, net is primarily due to changes in the fair value of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights associated with changes in mortgage loan interest rates and expected future prepayment levels. Mortgage loan servicing, net activity is summarized in the following table:

Net gains (losses) on securities available for sale totaled a loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to zero in the prior year second quarter. The loss during the second quarter of 2022 was generally attributed to the divestiture of a group of securities as part of a balance sheet management strategy.

Other income in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, was $3.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The increase in other income was primarily attributed to the divestiture of bank real estate.

Non-interest expenses totaled $32.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $32.5 million in the year-ago period. For the first six months of 2022, non-interest expenses totaled $63.9 million versus $62.6 million in 2021. The year-to-date increases in non-interest expense are primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits and advertising that were partially offset by a decrease in conversion related expenses. The increase in compensation and employee benefits in 2022 is due to several factors including, wage increases that were generally effective at the start of the year, a decreased level of compensation that was deferred as direct origination costs (due to lower mortgage loan origination volume), an increase in commercial lending personnel and higher health care insurance costs.

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.9 million and $7.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively. This compares to an income tax expense of $2.7 million and $7.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively. The changes in income tax expense principally reflect changes in pre-tax earnings in 2022 relative to 2021.

The provision for credit losses was an expense of $2.4 million and a credit of $1.4 million in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The provision for credit losses was an expense of $0.8 million and a credit of $1.9 million in the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The quarterly increase in the provision for credit losses in 2022 compared to 2021, was primarily the result of increases in pooled reserve allocations and the adjustment to allocations based on subjective factors due in part to loan portfolio growth. The year-to-date increase in the provision for credit losses in 2022 compared to 2021, was primarily the result of an increase in the adjustment to allocations based on the pooled reserves due in part to loan growth that was partially offset by a decrease in the adjustment to subjective factors due in part to expected reduction in risk related to COVID-19. The Company recorded loan net recoveries of $0.04 million and loan net recoveries of $0.60 million in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses totaled $47.9 million, or 1.47% of total portfolio loans compared to $47.3 million, or 1.63% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2021.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital
 
Total assets were $4.83 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $121.5 million from December 31, 2021.  Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $3.26 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $2.91 billion at December 31, 2021.  Deposits totaled $4.29 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $173.5 million from December 31, 2021.  This increase is primarily due to growth in non-interest bearing, interest-bearing checking, reciprocal and brokered time deposit account balances.
 
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $59.5 million at June 30, 2022, versus $109.5 million at December 31, 2021. Securities available for sale (“AFS”) totaled $859.7 million at June 30, 2022, versus $1.41 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in securities AFS is primarily due to the transfer of $391.6 million of securities AFS to held to maturity on April 1, 2022.
 
Total shareholders’ equity was $331.1 million at June 30, 2022, or 6.86% of total assets compared to $398.5 million or 8.47% at December 31, 2021.  Tangible common equity totaled $300.0 million at June 30, 2022, or $14.25 per share compared to $366.8 million or $17.33 per share at December 31, 2021. The decrease in shareholder equity as well as tangible common equity are primarily the result of a decline in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to unrealized losses on securities available for sale. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:
