GREEN BAY, Wis. — July 22, 2010 — Associated Banc-Corp (NASDAQ: ASBC) today reported a net loss to common shareholders of $10.2 million, or $0.06 per common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. This compares to a net loss of $33.8 million, or $0.20 per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and a net loss of $24.7 million, or $0.19 per common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
“We continued to make good progress in addressing the company’s credit quality issues during the quarter,” said President and CEO, Philip B. Flynn. “The company’s capital and liquidity positions remain strong as we continue to aggressively work through our nonperforming assets and position the company for future profitability and growth.”
At June 30, 2010, the company’s Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 17.25% and total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 19.02%. These ratios continue to significantly exceed the criteria for well capitalized banks and the requirements of banking regulators.
CREDIT QUALITY
The provision for loan losses was $98 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, down 41% from $165 million for the first quarter of 2010, and down 37% from $155 million for the second quarter of 2009. Net charge offs for the quarter were $105 million, down 36% from net charge offs of $163 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and up 72% from $61 million for the second quarter of 2009.
Nonperforming loans declined to $1.02 billion at June 30, 2010, down 16% from $1.21 billion at March 31, 2010. Through a combination of bulk and individual loan sales, the company sold nonperforming loans with a net book value totaling $216 million at the beginning of the quarter, which resulted in $57 million of charge offs during the quarter. The nonperforming loans sold came out of the real estate construction and the commercial real estate segments of the company’s loan portfolio.
Potential problem loans continued to decline to $1.27 billion at June 30, 2010, down $95 million, or 7%, from $1.37 billion at March 31, 2010. Loans 30-89 days past due totaled $149 million at June 30, down 10% from $165 million at March 31, 2010, and down 29% from $209 million at June 30, 2009.

ASSOCIATED REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2010 RESULTS   PAGE 2
The company’s allowance for loan losses was $568 million, or 4.51% of total loans, at June 30, 2010 compared to $576 million, or 4.33% of total loans, at March 31, 2010. This compares to an allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans of 4.06% at December 31, 2009 and 2.66% at June 30, 2009.
LOANS AND DEPOSITS
At June 30, 2010, the company’s loan portfolio was $12.6 billion, down 5% from $13.3 billion at March 31, 2010, and down 18% from $15.3 billion at June 30, 2009. The greatest declines in the portfolio were in the commercial real estate and construction segments of the portfolio. The declines were primarily due to planned runoff and sales of nonperforming loans, charge offs, and weak new loan demand.
Total deposits grew to $17.0 billion at June 30, 2010 compared to $16.7 billion at December 31, 2009, and $16.3 billion at June 30, 2009. On a year-over-year basis, deposits were up in all categories with the exception of brokered CDs and other time deposits, which were down 39% and 19%, respectively, from June 30, 2009.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income was $160 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This compares to $169 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and $179 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in net interest income during the quarter is primarily the result of a $528 million decline in average outstanding loan balances, and a $543 million decline in average outstanding investment securities balances during the quarter.
The company’s net interest margin was 3.22% for the second quarter of 2010, down 13 basis points from 3.35% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and down 18 basis points from 3.40% for quarter ended June 30, 2009. The net interest margin continues to be impacted by the company’s strong liquidity position, which accounted for nine basis points of the reduction during the quarter.
NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Core fee-based revenue remained strong at $64 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to $62 million for the first quarter of 2010, and $65 million for the second quarter of 2009. Seasonal increases in debit and credit card transaction volumes were the primary drivers of the increase from the prior quarter.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $81 million, down $17 million from $98 million for the first quarter of 2010, and down $21 million from the second quarter of 2009. Noninterest income for the quarter was up $7 million from the first quarter, excluding the $24 million gain on the sale of investments during that quarter, and down $22 million from $103 million for the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to a decline in mortgage banking income from the second quarter of 2009.
Mortgage loans originated for sale during the second quarter of 2010 were $502 million compared to $455 million for the first quarter of 2010. Net mortgage banking income totaled $5.5 million compared to $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2010, and $28 million for the second quarter of 2009, as production returned to more normal levels from the historically high levels of 2009.
Total noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $155 million, up $3 million from $152 million for the first quarter of 2010, and down $15 million from $170 million in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease from the same quarter last year was primarily due to a one-time FDIC special assessment expense of $11 million and significantly higher foreclosure/OREO expenses in the second quarter of 2009.
