INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS 2023 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

First Quarter Highlights

Highlights for the first quarter of 2023 include:

•Deposit growth of $93.1 million (excluding brokered time deposits) or 9.1% annualized;

•An increase in net interest income of 16.5% over the first quarter of 2022;

•An increase in book value and tangible book value per share of $0.90;

•Net growth in loans of $44.5 million (or 5.2% annualized); and

•The payment of a 23 cent per share dividend on common stock on February 24, 2023.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 27, 2023 - Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) reported first quarter 2023 net income of $13.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, versus net income of $18.0 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “Our deposit base has remained stable throughout the recent troubles experienced in the banking industry, and we have been able to remain focused on serving the needs of our customers and bringing in new relationships to the bank. As a result, I am pleased to report another quarter of strong financial results. We grew total loans by $44.5 million (5.2% annualized) while maintaining a low level of past dues. Importantly, we generated core deposit growth of $93.1 million (9.1% annualized) in the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, I am pleased with our team’s continued focus on efficiency and expense management. Independent Bank’s operating strategy remains unchanged as we continue to add talented bankers to the commercial banking team to assist in our goal of achieving a greater market share across our footprint. We have a granular deposit base, with approximately 22.6% of deposits uninsured and a high level of available liquidity with $2.4 billion in secured borrowing access and borrowing capacity on unpledged securities.”

Significant items impacting comparable first quarter 2023 and 2022 results include the following:

•Changes in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights (the “MSR Changes”) of $(0.6) million ($(0.02) per diluted share, after taxes) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $8.5 million ($0.31 per diluted share, after taxes) for the three-months ended March 31, 2022.

•The provision for credit losses on loans was a credit of $0.8 million ($0.03 per diluted share, after taxes) in the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, as compared to a credit of $1.6 million ($0.06 per diluted share, after taxes) in the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

•The provision for credit losses on securities held to maturity (“HTM”) was an expense of $3.0 million ($0.11 per diluted share, after taxes) in the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, as compared to a provision of zero in the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest income totaled $38.4 million during the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $5.4 million, or 16.5% from the year-ago period, and down $2.2 million, or 5.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.33% during the first quarter of 2023, compared to 3.00% in the year-ago period, and 3.52% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The year-over-year quarterly increase in net interest income was due to an increase in average interest-earning assets as well as an increase in the net interest margin. The decrease in net interest income compared to the linked quarter was due to a decrease in net interest margin that was partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets were $4.70 billion in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $4.49 billion in the year ago quarter and $4.64 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-interest income totaled $10.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $18.9 million in the comparable prior year period. These changes were primarily due to variances in mortgage banking related revenues and a loss on securities available for sale.

Net gains on mortgage loans in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, were approximately $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The increase in net gains on mortgage loans was primarily due to a increase in the gain on sale margin on mortgage loan sold that was partially offset by a decrease in the volume of mortgage loans sold.

Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income of $0.7 million and $9.6 million in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The significant variance 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:


	Three months ended
		3/31/2023		3/31/2022
		(In thousands)
Mortgage loan servicing, net:
Revenue, net		$	2,222	$	2,083
Fair value change due to price		(635)		8,452
Fair value change due to pay-downs		(861)		(894)
Total		$	726	$	9,641

Non-interest expenses totaled $31.0 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $31.5 million in the year-ago period. This decrease is due in part to declines in compensation and employee benefits and occupancy, net, that were partially offset by increases in data processing and FDIC insurance expense. The decrease in compensation and employee benefits is primarily related to lower performance based compensation. The decrease in occupancy primarily relates to lower costs due to a reduction in snow removal expenses, a reduction in Covid-19 related expenses as well as generally lower number of properties maintained. The increase in data processing is generally attributed to the prior year including certain one-time credits from our data processing provider and an increase in cost due annual asset growth and CPI increases. The increase in FDIC deposit insurance is primarily attributed to a new two basis point increase in deposit insurance rate effective for us on January 1, 2023.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. This compares to an income tax expense of $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. The changes in income tax expense principally reflect changes in pre-tax earnings in 2023 relative to 2022.

Asset Quality

A breakdown of non-performing loans by loan type is as follows:


	3/31/2023			12/31/2022			3/31/2022
Loan Type	(Dollars in thousands)
Commercial	$	36		$	38		$	59
Mortgage	5,536			4,745			5,166
Installment	644			598			668
Sub total	6,216			5,381			5,893
Less - government guaranteed loans	2,330			1,660			859
Total non-performing loans	$	3,886		$	3,721		$	5,034
Ratio of non-performing loans to total portfolio loans	0.11		%	0.11		%	0.17		%
Ratio of non-performing assets to total assets	0.09		%	0.08		%	0.11		%
Ratio of allowance for credit losses to total non-performing loans	1300.82		%	1409.16		%	906.38		%

The provision for credit losses on loans was a credit of $0.8 million and $1.6 million in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The quarterly change in the provision for credit losses in 2023 compared to 2022, was primarily the result of a a decrease in the pooled loan reserve that was partially offset by a net change in subjective loan allocations. We recorded loan net charge offs of $1.1 million and $0.1 million in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. At March 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $50.6 million, or 1.44% of total portfolio loans compared to $52.4 million, or 1.51% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2022. The quarterly increase in the provision for credit losses for securities HTM in 2023 compared to 2022, was the result of a loss incurred on a $3.0 million subordinated debt security that defaulted during the quarter.

Balance Sheet, Capital and Liquidity

Total assets were $5.14 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of $139.1 million from December 31, 2022. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $3.51 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $3.47 billion at December 31, 2022. Deposits totaled $4.54 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of $165.7 million from December 31, 2022. This increase is primarily due to growth in savings and interest-bearing checking, reciprocal, time and brokered time deposit account balances that were partially offset by a decrease in non-interest bearing deposit account balances.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $227.0 million at March 31, 2023, versus $74.4 million at December 31, 2022. Securities available for sale (“AFS”) totaled $767.5 million at March 31, 2023, versus $779.3 million at December 31, 2022.

Total shareholders’ equity was $367.7 million at March 31, 2023, or 7.16% of total assets compared to $347.6 million or 6.95% at December 31, 2022. Tangible common equity totaled $337.0 million at March 31, 2023, or $15.94 per share compared to $316.7 million or $15.04 per share at December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholder equity as well as tangible common equity are primarily the result of a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to unrealized losses on securities available for sale due to a decrease in interest rates as well as earnings retention.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:


Regulatory Capital Ratios	3/31/2023		12/31/2022		Well Capitalized Minimum

Tier 1 capital to average total assets	8.61	%	8.56	%	5.00	%
Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets	11.15	%	10.97	%	6.50	%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets	11.15	%	10.97	%	8.00	%
Total capital to risk-weighted assets	12.40	%	12.22	%	10.00	%

At March 31, 2023, in addition to liquidity available from our normal operating, funding, and investing activities, we had unused credit lines with the FHLB and FRB of approximately $930.1 million and $502.7 million, respectively. We also had

approximately $928.5 million in fair value of unpledged securities AFS and HTM at March 31, 2023 which could be pledged for an estimated additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB of approximately $854.9 million.

Share Repurchase Plan

On December 20, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the 2023 share repurchase plan. Under the terms of the 2023 share repurchase plan, the Company is authorized to purchase up to 1,100,000 shares, or approximately 5% of its then outstanding common stock.

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which are any statements or information that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include statements about our anticipated future revenue and expenses and our future plans and prospects. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. For example, deterioration in general business and economic conditions or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding to us, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility. Our results could also be adversely affected by changes in interest rates; increases in unemployment rates; deterioration in the credit quality of our loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of our investment securities; legal and regulatory developments; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security; and management’s ability to effectively manage the multitude of risks facing our business. Key risk factors that could affect our future results are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the other reports we file with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of our future results.

• The decrease in the base case modeled NII is due to an adverse shift in the funding mix and higher than modeled betas on interest bearing deposits during the quarter. These changes were partially offset by earning asset growth and a favorable change in earning asset composition. • The NII sensitivity profile is largely unchanged during the quarter as the adverse sensitivity impact from changes in the deposit mix were offset by additional hedging and term funding transactions. • Base-rate is a static balance sheet applying the spot yield curve from the valuation date. • Stable core funding base. Transaction accounts fund 40.2% of assets and other non-maturity deposits fund another 21.4% of assets. Moderate wholesale funding of just 8.1% of assets. • 30.9% of assets reprice in 1 month and 43.9% reprice in the next 12 months. • Continually evaluating strategies to manage NII through hedging as well as product pricing and structure. 17Interest Rate Risk Management Changes in Net Interest Income Simulation analyses calculate the change in net interest income over the next twelve months, under immediate parallel shifts in interest rates, based upon a static statement of financial condition, which includes derivative instruments, and does not consider loan fees. -200 -100 Base-rate +100 +200 Net Interest Income 158,416$ 161,330$ 162,997$ 162,593$ 161,153$ Change from Base -2.81% -1.02% - -0.25% -1.13% -200 -100 Base-rate +100 +200 Net Interest Income 163,958$ 166,618$ 167,349$ 166,977$ 165,771$ Change from Base -2.03% -0.44% - -0.22% -0.94% (Dollars in 000's) March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 (Dollars in 000's)

Strong Non-interest Income 18  The $8.9 million comparative quarterly decrease in mortgage loan servicing; net is primarily attributed 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 banking: − $1.3 million in net gains on mortgage loans in 1Q’23 vs. $0.8 million in the year ago quarter. The increase is primarily due to increased profit margins and fair value adjustments that were partially offset by lower mortgage loan sales volume. − $113.3 million in mortgage loan originations in 1Q’23 vs. $270.2 million in 1Q’22 and $138.9 million in 4Q’22. − 1Q’23 mortgage loan servicing includes a $0.6 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after tax) decrease in fair value adjustment due to price compared to an increase of $8.5 million ($0.31 per diluted share, after tax) in the year ago quarter.

Non-interest Expense ($M) Highlights Efficiency Ratio (4 quarter rolling average)  1Q’23 efficiency ratio of 62.1%.  Compensation and employee benefits expense of $19.3 million, an decrease of $0.8 million from the prior year quarter.  Compensation (salaries and wages) increased $0.8 million due to raises that were generally effective at the start of the year, a decreased level of compensation that was deferred in the fourth quarter of 2022 as direct origination costs (lower mortgage loan origination volume).  $1.4 million decrease in performance based compensation expense accrual.  Payroll taxes and employee benefits decreased $0.2 million primarily due to lower payroll taxes.  Data processing costs increased by $0.8 million primarily due to a credit in the prior year quarter related to certain expenses that had been previously paid and expensed and an increase in expense related to asset growth.  Opportunities exist to gain additional efficiencies as we continue to optimize our delivery channels. $32.7 $30.0 $32.5 $34.5 $34.0 $31.5 $32.4 $32.4 $32.1 $31.0 $- $5.0 $10.0 $15.0 $20.0 $25.0 $30.0 $35.0 Q4'20 Q1'21 Q2'21 Q3'21 Q4'21 Q1'22 Q2'22 Q3'22 Q4'22 Q1'23 Compensation and Benefits Loan and Collection Occupancy Data Processing FDIC Insurance Other Total 55.9% 59.9% 61.7% 63.2% 64.8% 63.1% 61.3% 59.8% 60.4% Q1'21 Q2'21 Q3'21 Q4'21 1Q'22 2Q'22 3Q'22 4Q'22 1Q'23

2023 Outlook Category Outlook Lending Continued growth IBCP goal of low double digit (approximately 10%-12%) overall loan growth is based on increases in commercial loans and mortgage loans with installment loans remaining flat. Expect much of this growth to occur in the last three quarters of 2023. This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy. 1Q’23 Update: Total portfolio loans increased $44.5 million (5.2% annualized) in 1Q’23 which is lower than our forecasted range. Commercial, mortgage and installment loans had positive growth in the first quarter. Loan growth was negatively impacted by higher than anticipated loan payoffs. Net Interest Income Growth driven primarily by higher average earning assets IBCP goal of high single digit (7%-9%) growth is primarily supported by an increase in earning assets and a favorable shift in the earning asset base. Expect the net interest margin (NIM) to be stable to slightly higher (0.05% - 0.10%) in 2023 compared to full-year 2022. Primary driver is an increase in earing asset yield. The forecast assumes a 0.50% Fed rate increase in February, a 0.25% increase in March and a 0.25% decrease in September and December in the federal funds rate while long-term interest rates decline slightly over year-end 2022 levels. 1Q’23 Update: 1Q’23 net interest income was $5.4 million (16.5%) higher than the prior year quarter. The net interest margin was 3.33% for the quarter, up 0.33% from the prior year quarter and down 0.19% from the linked quarter. The 16.5% increase in net interest income is due to an increase in average interest-earning assets as well as an increase in net interest margin. Provision for Credit Losses Steady asset quality metrics Very difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels under CECL will be particularly sensitive to loan growth and mix, projected economic conditions, watch credit levels and loan default volumes. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 1.51% at 12/31/22. A full year 202. provision (expense) for credit losses of approximately 0.25% to 0.35% of average total portfolio loans would not be unreasonable. 1Q’23 Update: The provision for credit losses was an expense of $2.2 million (0.25% annualized) The 1Q’23 provision expense was the result of an increase in provision for credit losses for securities HTM due to a $3.0 million loss incurred on a subordinated debt security during the quarter. The provision expense related to loans was a credit in 1Q’23 which is lower than our forecasted range. Non-interest Income IBCP forecasted 2023 quarterly range of $11 million to $13 million with the total for the year down 20% to 25% from 2022 actual of $61.9 million Expect mortgage loan origination volumes in 2023 to be down by approximately 20%, a decline in mortgage loan servicing net of approximately 80%, interchange income in 2023 to increase approximately 2.0% to 3.0% as compared to 2022 and service charges on deposits to be collectively comparable to 2022 (a decline in NSF fees to be largely offset by an increase in treasury management related service charges). 1Q’23 Update: : Non-interest income totaled $10.6 million in 1Q’23, which was below the forecasted range. 1Q’23 mortgage loan originations, sales and gains totaled $113.0 million, $106.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Mortgage loan servicing generated a gain of $0.7 million in 1Q’23. The $0.2 million loss on securities available for sale was related to the divesture of a credit impaired corporate security. Non-interest Expenses IBCP forecasted 2023 quarterly range of $32.0 million to $33.5 million with the total for the year up 1.5% to 2.5% from the 2022 actual of $128.3 million. The primary driver is an increase in data processing and FDIC deposit insurance premiums. 1Q’23 Update: : Total non-interest expense was $31.0 million in the first quarter of 2023, which is below our forecasted range. The comparative quarterly decrease is primarily due to declines in compensation and employee benefits and occupancy, net, that were partially offset by increases in data processing and FDIC insurance expense. The decrease in compensation and employee benefits is primarily related to lower performance based compensation. Income Taxes Approximately an 18.8% effective income tax rate in 2023. This assumes a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate during 2023. 1Q’23 Update: Actual effective income tax rate of 18.2% for the 1Q’23. Share Repurchases 2023 share repurchase authorization at approximately 5% (1.1 million) of outstanding shares. Share repurchases will be dependent on capital levels, capital allocation options and share price trends. We are not modeling any share repurchases in 2023. 1Q’23 Update: No shares were repurchased in the first quarter of 2023. 20
