QUARTERLY REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS
2015 THIRD QUARTER

First Mid Announces:
Completion of 12 Branch Acquisition
Earnings Growth Trend Continues
Asset Quality Remains Strong
New Product Rollout and Service Expansion

The third quarter of 2015 included the successful completion of the acquisition of 12 Southern Illinois banking centers from Old National Bank. We closed the acquisition on August 14th and completed the system conversion over that weekend with the branches opening as First Mid-Illinois Bank and Trust, N.A. the following Monday. We are excited to complete the acquisition and expand our service area in Southern Illinois. The initial response from customers has been good, our new employees are a great addition to the team, and we have expanded products and services now offered in those markets. As you review the quarter-end financial statements, you will see that many line items on the balance sheet, income statement, and performance ratios are impacted by the acquisition. The new branches added approximately $156 million in loans and $453 million in deposits. Strategically, the acquisition provides a stable, low-cost source of core deposits to enable future loan growth throughout our market areas. Also, we passed a milestone as our total consolidated assets now exceed $2 billion and we now operate 47 banking centers in 33 communities across Illinois.

Financial results for First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. continue to be solid with higher earnings despite the one-time acquisition costs, continued excellent asset quality ratios, and strong regulatory capital ratios. Net income for the first nine months of 2015 was $11,858,000 compared to $11,551,000 for the same period last year. Net income is higher than last year despite incurring approximately $1.1 million of acquisition costs during the first nine months of 2015. Diluted earnings per share were $1.33 for the first nine months of 2015 compared to $1.38 for the first nine months of 2014 due to an increase in common shares outstanding following the capital raise completed in June. For the third quarter of 2015, net income was $3,663,000 compared to $3,915,000 for the third quarter of 2014, and diluted earnings per share were $.36 for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $.47 for the same period last year.

Year-to-date net income increased due to improvement in several areas including greater net interest income with growth in loans over the past year and the increase in assets from the acquisition, increases in fees from electronic services, and growth in mortgage banking and brokerage revenues. Comparing net income for the third quarter of 2015 to the same period last year, this quarter was lower primarily due to the acquisition costs from the Southern Illinois branch acquisition.

Year-to-date net interest income totaled $40.0 million compared to $38.4 million for the same period last year while the third quarter of 2015 was $14.0 million compared to $13.0 million for the third quarter of 2014. Loan balances increased over the past year to $1.24 billion as of September 30, 2015 compared to $1.04 billion last September. As previously mentioned, $156 million of loans were added with the acquisition and we have also grown commercial operating loans in our legacy market area. In addition, investment balances have increased as we added securities to invest the cash received from the acquisition. The growth in loans and investments from last September increased the level of earning assets resulting in the increase in net interest income. Our deposit balances also increased from $1.30 billion on September 30, 2014 to $1.73 billion on September 30, 2015 with $453 million of the increase resulting from the acquisition. Deposits from our legacy markets declined slightly from last year as we did not replace a $5 million brokered CD and we reduced higher-cost CD balances. The additional cash from the acquisition elevated our federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances at banks to $174.4 million reducing our earning asset yields and resulting in a decline in our net interest margin. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the first nine months of 2015 was 3.40% compared to 3.52% for the same period last year while the margin for the third quarter of 2015 was 3.23% compared to 3.51% for the third quarter of last year. We continue to implement a plan to invest the cash received from the acquisition over the next several months that balances risk and return. Investments are typically higher-yielding than federal funds sold and should improve our net interest margin once completed.

Our year-to-date provision for loan losses increased to $889,000 compared to $495,000 for the first nine months of 2014 while the provision for the third quarter of 2015 was $481,000 compared to $44,000 for the third quarter of 2014. Provision expense increased due to the growth in the loan portfolio and higher net charge-offs thus far in 2015. For the first nine months of 2015, net charge-offs were $343,000 compared to $39,000 for the same period last year. While net charge-offs were higher than last year, they remain low from a historical standpoint and low for a $1.24 billion loan portfolio. Also, overall asset quality remains very strong as our total non-performing loans and other real estate owned to total assets were .18% as of September 30, 2015



and compares well to peer banks. The trend over the past year has continued to improve as total non-performing loans and other real estate owned were $3.8 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $5.2 million at September 30, 2014. We also have a strong coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to the level of non-performing loans of 405% as of September 30, 2015.

Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2015 was $14.3 million as compared to $13.9 million for the first nine months of 2014 while non-interest income was $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $4.4 million for the third quarter last year. Year-to-date ATM and debit card fees are $291,000 higher than last year with the addition of the Southern Illinois locations and an increase in electronic transactions. Year-to-date mortgage banking revenues increased by $108,000 with greater home purchase and refinance activity. Brokerage revenues and insurance commissions have also increased. The additional revenues have offset the decline in gains on the sale of securities as market conditions and balance sheet liquidity positioning have limited sale opportunities in 2015.
Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2015 were $34.9 million compared to $33.3 million for the same period last year. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $12.9 million compared to $11.1 million for the third quarter of last year. The operating expenses of the new branch locations are included from August 14th through September 30th. In addition, year-to-date acquisition costs of approximately $1.1 million and third quarter acquisition costs of approximately $835,000 are included in the operating expense totals.

As mentioned, our four regulatory capital ratios remained strong as of September 30, 2015 and in excess of the regulatory minimums to be considered well-capitalized. We completed the private placement of $29.3 million in common stock in June and recorded the acquisition-related accounting entries in the third quarter. The combination resulted in our capital ratios at September 30, 2015 being similar to year-end 2014 and positions the Company well for the future. Our tangible book value per share was $15.32 at September 30, 2015 compared to $15.63 at year-end and $13.96 last September.

Through strategic hires and new technology deployment, we have expanded services and coverage across our markets. We launched mobile deposit services that allow customers to make deposits via their smart phone this quarter. With the hire of Mike Neill as Carbondale Community President, we are able to offer trust services across the newly-acquired markets. Mike will be working closely with Bill Schlinkert who recently joined First Mid’s Trust and Wealth Management team and leads our Trust department. Investments in professional hires and technology will enable First Mid to continue delivering value for both customers and shareholders.

In conclusion, this has been an exciting quarter as we completed the acquisition. The dedication of our team has been tremendous and I am confident our new Southern Illinois region will be a significant contributor to our future performance and success.

Thank you for your continued support of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. and please contact me if you should have any questions.


Sincerely,

Joseph R. Dively
