PrivateBancorp Reports Record Earnings Per Share of $0.34,

an increase of 26 percent over the prior year third quarter

Chicago, IL, October 18, 2004--- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) today reported earnings of $0.34 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 26 percent compared to third quarter 2003 earnings per diluted share of $0.27. Net income for the third quarter was $7.1 million, an increase of 38 percent over third quarter 2003 net income of $5.1 million. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $19.5 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.3 million, or $0.77 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. All per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split that occurred on May 31, 2004.

"Substantial growth in loans, core deposits and our wealth management business contributed to our record performance. Overall, loans have increased by 30 percent since last year's third quarter and the growth was strongest for commercial and industrial loans, which grew 39 percent year over year. Core deposit growth, which represents total deposits less brokered deposits, exceeded loan growth, with core deposits increasing 42 percent over the past four quarters. Our wealth management business also showed strong year over year growth with revenue growing 24 percent and assets under management growing 23 percent," said Ralph B. Mandell, Chairman, President and CEO.

Net interest income totaled $18.5 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 25 percent over third quarter 2003 net interest income of $14.8 million, primarily due to growth in average earning assets. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.58 percent in the third quarter 2004, down from 3.64 percent in the prior year third quarter and up from 3.51 percent in the second quarter of 2004. On a quarter linked basis, yields on earning assets increased by 19 basis points offset by an increase in our cost of funds of 10 basis points. The increase in earning asset yields was primarily due to the increases in the prime interest rate during the third quarter. Approximately two-thirds of the loan portfolio floats with prime or is indexed to other short-term interest rates. The increase in cost of funds was primarily due to increases in money market deposit yields, some of which are tied to prime, as well as higher rates on short-term borrowings and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

At the end of the third quarter, the Company had a total investment of $207.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC) common stock, and the annualized yield on this investment was 6.0 percent for the third quarter, as it was in the second quarter of 2004. This 6.0 percent rate is a decrease from the 6.5 percent rate paid in the first quarter of 2004. The FHLBC is scheduled to announce tomorrow (October 19^th), the dividend that will be paid in the fourth quarter of 2004. During the quarter, management met with new FHLBC CEO J. Mikesell (“Mike”) Thomas, who has been a respected banker in the Chicago financial services community for many years. The Company closely monitors the FHLBC, continues to believe the FHLBC stock is a prudent investment and has no current plans to substantially reduce the size of this investment.

The provision for loan losses was $851,000 for the third quarter of 2004, compared to $1.1 million in the prior year third quarter and $724,000 in the second quarter of 2004. Net charge-offs totaled $404,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2004 versus net charge-offs of $246,000 in the prior year quarter and net recoveries of $51,000 in the second quarter of 2004. At September 30, 2004, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.17 percent, unchanged from the prior year quarter and an increase from 0.06 percent at June 30, 2004. Non-performing loans increased to $2.4 million at September 30, 2004 compared to $795,000 at June 30, 2004, and non-accrual loans increased to $796,000 from $151,000 in the second quarter. The increase in non-performing and non-accrual loans was due primarily to a single-family residential real estate credit. Despite the increase in non-accrual and non-performing loans, overall asset quality remains very high. Additionally, asset quality trends continue to be positive as measured by watch list loans, which decreased from the second quarter 2004 and are lower year over year. As a result, the Company’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 1.21 percent as of September 30, 2004, from 1.23 percent at June 30, 2004 and at December 31, 2003.

Non-interest income was $4.0 million in the third quarter 2004, reflecting a decrease of approximately $49,000 from the third quarter 2003. The combined impact of $1.3 million of securities gains and a $1.1 million loss from the fair market value adjustments on an interest rate swap during the third quarter of 2004 resulted in a $141,000 contribution to non-interest income. In the third quarter 2003, securities losses of $333,000 combined with $765,000 of gains on the interest rate swap resulted in $432,000 of non-interest income.

Wealth management, mortgage banking and other income increased by $242,000, or 7 percent, from prior year quarter and $427,000, or 12 percent, over the second quarter 2004. The growth in non-interest income as compared to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by growth in wealth management fee income, which grew $407,000, or 24 percent, to $2.1 million compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter 2003 and was flat with second quarter 2004. Wealth management assets under management increased 23 percent to $1.62 billion at September 30, 2004 compared to $1.32 billion at September 30, 2003 and $1.59 billion at June 30, 2004.

Residential mortgage fee income was $776,000 for the third quarter of 2004, down $428,000 from $1.2 million in the third quarter 2003 and relatively unchanged from $782,000 in the second quarter 2004. During the third quarter 2004, income on bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) increased by $227,000 to $352,000 from $125,000 in the second quarter of 2004 due to an additional purchase of BOLI of $22.0 million which was funded during the third quarter 2004.

Non-interest expense increased 12 percent to $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2004 from $10.6 million in the prior year quarter and increased 6 percent from $11.2 million in second quarter 2004. The increase in non-interest expense from the second quarter 2004 reflects the continued growth of the organization. Full-time equivalent employees at quarter’s end increased to 253 from 206 at September 30, 2003 and from 252 at June 30, 2004. At September 30, 2004, the Company had 72 managing directors compared to 63 at December 31, 2003 and up from 71 managing directors at June 30, 2004. The efficiency ratio was 50 percent in the third quarter of 2004 compared to 54 percent in the prior year quarter and 51 percent in the second quarter of 2004.

Total assets were $2.4 billion at September 30, 2004 compared to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2003, an increase of 27 percent. Asset growth was driven primarily by loan growth, which increased 30 percent year over year to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2004. Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2004 increased by 5 percent from June 30, 2004.

Deposits increased by 23 percent to $1.8 billion during the third quarter 2004 as compared to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2003 and up 8 percent from $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2004. Brokered deposits were $356.4 million at September 30, 2004, a decrease of 22 percent, or $97.9 million, from $454.3 million at September 30, 2003 and a decrease of 14 percent, or $57.4 million, from $413.8 million at June 30, 2004. Funds borrowed, including FHLB advances, increased to $301.6 million at September 30, 2004 from $164.5 million in the prior year quarter and down from $306.4 million at the end of the second quarter 2004.
