INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS

2021 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April. 27, 2021 - Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) reported first quarter 2021 net income of $22.0 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, versus net income of $4.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The increase in 2021 first quarter earnings as compared to 2020 primarily reflects increases in net interest income, non-interest income as well as a decrease in the provision for credit losses that were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense.

First quarter 2021 highlights include:

Increases in net income and diluted earnings per share of  358.2% and 376.2%, respectively, compared to 2020;
Return on average assets and return on average equity of 2.10% and 23.51%, respectively;
--- ---
Net gains on mortgage loans of $12.8 million (up 45.1% over 2020) and total mortgage loan origination volume of $509.0 million;
--- ---
Deposit net growth of $221.2 million (or 6.1%);
--- ---
Continued strong asset quality metrics as evidenced by net loan recoveries during the quarter, a low level of non-performing loans and non-performing assets;
--- ---
The adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”) on January 1, 2021. The adoption<br> of CECL increased  beginning of year allowance for credit losses, allowance for losses related to unfunded lending commitments and deferred tax assets $11.7 million, $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively and decreased retained<br> earnings $10.3 million;
--- ---
COVID related forbearances declined to 0.62% of total loans; and
--- ---
The payment of a 21 cent per share dividend on common stock on February 16, 2021.
--- ---

Significant items impacting comparable first quarter 2021 and 2020 results include the following:

Net gains on sale of securities equal to $1.4 million ($0.05 per diluted share, after tax) in the first quarter of 2021 related to the divestiture of certain securities.
A change in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights (the “MSR Change”) of a positive $4.6 million ($0.17 per diluted share, after taxes) as compared to a negative MSR change of $5.9 million ($0.21 per<br> diluted share, after taxes) for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to an expense of $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2020.

William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “We are pleased to report very strong financial performance in the first quarter of 2021 as we continue to navigate the many challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Our associates continued their amazing efforts during this quarter!  We closed a company record 2,044 mortgage loans for  over one-half billion dollars, helping our customers buy new homes or refinance existing mortgage loans. Our team facilitated 1,250 loans under the second round of the Paycheck Protection Program totaling $128.2 million while continuing to assist our customers in completing and submitting PPP round 1 forgiveness applications to the SBA. Finally, we maintained solid asset quality metrics during the first quarter of 2021. COVID-19 related loan forbearance balances decreased by 26.2% during the first quarter of 2021. As we look ahead to the balance of 2021 and beyond, we are mindful that the challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic remain; however, we are confident of our continued ability to effectively respond to these challenges and remain optimistic about our future.”

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

The Company continues to respond to the challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and take the necessary steps to serve our communities while doing our part to minimize the spread of COVID-19.  The following is a brief description of our current initiatives:

Customer Safety and Service Levels – From mid-March 2020 to mid-June 2020 we limited our branch lobbies to appointment only and kept drive-through windows open.  In mid-June 2020 our bank branch lobbies fully reopened.  On November 13,<br> 2020 we again limited our branch lobbies to appointment only in response to increasing COVID-19 cases in the State of Michigan. Branch lobbies were reopened January 4, 2021.  With the ability to use drive through service, ATMs or our<br> electronic banking solutions there was minimal disruption to our customers.
Employee Safety – For employees that are in our bank branches servicing our customers, we have expanded sick and vacation time.  All non-branch employees either have the option or are required to work remotely.  We currently have<br> approximately 38% of our total staff working remotely every day.  We have installed “customer friendly” shields throughout our delivery network and have implemented a variety of other protective processes to promote the safety of our<br> employees and put both customers and staff at ease.
--- ---
Loan Forbearances – We have forbearance programs in place to proactively work with our customers who have experienced financial difficulty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Totals for these programs by loan type are presented in the table<br> below under the caption “Asset Quality”. The level of these loans is down significantly after peaking in mid-June 2020, as many customers’ economic situations have improved, allowing them to pay their loans current or return to their<br> original payment terms.
--- ---
U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) – We built an effective process to manage the high volume of applications that we received.  Customer demand for this program was extraordinary.  As of March<br> 31, 2021, we continue to assist our customers with loan forgiveness applications from round 1 of PPP while processing new PPP applications for round 2 of the Paycheck Protection Program. Current PPP activity is summarized below:

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest income totaled $30.3 million during the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.3% from the year-ago period, and down $0.7 million, or 2.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.05% during the first quarter of 2021, compared to 3.63% in the year-ago period, and 3.12% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The year-over-year quarterly increase in net interest income is due to an increase in average interest-earning assets that was largely offset by a decline in the net interest margin.  Average interest-earning assets were $4.05 billion in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $3.35 billion in the year ago quarter and $3.98 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Due to the economic impact of COVID-19, the Federal Reserve has taken a variety of actions to stimulate the economy, including significantly lowering short-term interest rates. Lower interest rates combined with a higher allocation to lower yielding assets has placed continued pressure on the Company’s net interest margin.

Non-interest income totaled $26.4 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $11.0 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $22.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.  These changes were primarily due to variances in mortgage banking related revenues (net gains on mortgage loans and mortgage loan servicing, net), gain on sale of securities and improved interchange income.

Net gains on mortgage loans in the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, were approximately $12.8 million and $8.8 million, respectively. The increase in net gains on mortgage loans in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to a significant increase in mortgage loan sales volume (principally reflecting the rise in mortgage loan refinance levels), as well as improved profit margins on mortgage loan sales.

Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated a gain of $5.2 million and a loss of $5.3 million in the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The significant variances in mortgage loan servicing, net are 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
3/31/2021 3/31/2020
Mortgage loan servicing, net: (Dollars in thousands)
Revenue, net $ 1,910 $ 1,673
Fair value change due to price 4,640 (5,931 )
Fair value change due to pay-downs (1,383 ) (1,042 )
Total $ 5,167 $ (5,300 )

Net gain on sale of securities totaled $1.4 million in first quarter of 2021 compared to $0.3 million in the prior year quarter. The gain on sale of securities in the first quarter of 2021 is related to the divestiture of a group of mortgage backed securities.

Interchange income equaled $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $0.6 million from the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily due to higher transaction volume year-over-year.

Non-interest expenses totaled $30.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $28.7 million in the year-ago period. These year-over-year increases in non-interest expense are primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits and conversion related expense. The first quarter 2021 includes $0.2 million of expenses related to the Company’s core data processing conversion that is in process. (the Day 1 conversion is expected to be completed in May 2021)

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $5.1 million and $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The changes in income tax expense primarily reflect a 371.6% increase in pre-tax earnings in 2021 relative to 2020.

--- ---

Non-performing loans have decreased $0.8 million from December 31, 2020, due primarily to a decrease in non-performing mortgage loans.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $0.5 in the first quarter of 2021 compared to an expense of $6.7 million in the prior year quarter. The $7.2 million comparative decrease in the provision for credit losses during the first quarter of 2021 relative to the same quarter in 2020 was the result of decreases in newly identified losses in the commercial and retail loan portfolios, a decrease in the adjustment to allocations based on subjective factors and increases in gross recoveries of previously charged-off commercial and retail loans.

The allowance for credit losses totaled $46.8 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $35.4 million at December 31, 2020. The increase from the prior quarter is attributed to the recording of our CECL adoption entry effective January 1, 2021. The impact of the adoption was an increase in our allowance for credit losses of $11.7 million. The adjustment was within our disclosed range of $10.5 million to $12.5 million. The after tax impact to retained earnings was a decrease of $10.3 million.   At March 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses equaled 1.68% of total portfolio loans under CECL, compared to 1.30% of total portfolio loans, at December 31, 2020 under the incurred loss methodology.

The Company recorded loan net recoveries of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to net charge offs of $0.4 million in the prior year quarter.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital

Total assets were $4.4 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $222.4 million from December 31, 2020.  Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $2.78 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to $2.73 billion at December 31, 2020.  Deposits totaled $3.86 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $221.2 million from December 31, 2020.  This increase is primarily due to growth in non-interest bearing, savings and interest-bearing checking and reciprocal deposit account balances.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $130.5 million at March 31, 2021, versus $118.7 million at December 31, 2020. Securities available for sale totaled $1.25 billion at March 31, 2021, versus $1.07 billion at December 31, 2020.  The significant increase in securities available for sale is due to the deployment of funds generated from the growth in deposits.

Total shareholders’ equity was $387.3 million at March 31, 2021, or 8.75% of total assets.  Tangible common equity totaled $355.0 million at March 31, 2021, or $16.30 per share.  The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:

Regulatory Capital Ratios 3/31/2021 12/31/2020 Well<br><br> <br>Capitalized<br><br> <br>Minimum
Tier 1 capital to average total assets 8.95 % 8.81 % 5.00 %
Tier 1 common equity  to risk-weighted assets 12.74 % 12.81 % 6.50 %
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 12.74 % 12.81 % 8.00 %
Total capital to risk-weighted assets 13.99 % 14.06 % 10.00 %

Share Repurchase Plan

On December 18, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the 2021 share repurchase plan.  Under the terms of the 2021 share repurchase plan, the Company is authorized to purchase up to 1,100,000 shares, or approximately 5% of its outstanding common stock.

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements  This presentation contains forward-looking statements about Independent Bank Corporation. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and are based on the information available to, and assumptions and estimates made by, management as of the date hereof. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, anticipated future revenue and expenses and the future plans and prospects of Independent Bank Corporation. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting Independent Bank Corporation, its customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on its business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect Independent Bank Corporation’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding from certain financial institutions, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices could affect Independent Bank Corporation in substantial and unpredictable ways. Independent Bank Corporation’s results could also be adversely affected by changes in interest rates; further increases in unemployment rates; deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of its investment securities; legal and regulatory developments; litigation; increased competition from both banks and non-banks; changes in the level of tariffs and other trade policies of the United States and its global trading partners; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security; failures to safeguard personal information; effects of mergers and acquisitions and related integration; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; and management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk, market risk, operational risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and reputation risk.

HighlightsInterest rate sensitivity profile of the loan and securities portfolios, in combination with a low cost core deposit base, positions us as slightly asset sensitive.Net interest income decreased $0.7 million, or 2.3%, in 1Q’21 vs. 4Q’20 due primarily to a $3.0 million decrease in interest income that was partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in interest expense on deposits. Net interest margin was 3.05% during the first quarter of 2021, compared to 3.63% in the year-ago quarter and 3.12% in the fourth quarter of 2020.  Yields, NIM and Cost of Funds (%)  Net Interest Income ($ in Millions)   Net Interest Margin/Income  16


Linked Quarter Analysis  17  1Q’21 NIM Changes  Linked Quarter Average Balances and FTE Rates  Yield on average interest-earning assets declined 30 basis points.Yield on PPP round 1 loans decreased 48 basis points due to a decline in fee accretion. Commercial loan yields net of PPP declined 34 basis points compared to the prior quarter. A combination of change in mix and lower yields on new volume loans is the primary driver. Continued growth in liquid assets combined with declining investment yields negatively impacted the net interest margin by 7 basis points (IBD growth 2 bps, investment growth 4 bps, investment yield 1 bps) in Q1’21.Funding costs decreased by 7 basis points (funding cost 0.03%, deferred hedge loss 0.04%) in Q1’21.  1Q’21 Highlights  Q4'20  3.12%        Decline in cost of funds  0.07%  Discount accretion on commercial loans  -0.02%  Accelerated amortization of loss on derivatives   0.16%  Decline in earning asset yields (growth and mix)  -0.29%        Q1'21  3.05%


Strong Non-interest Income  18  Diverse sources of non-interest income – representing 46.6% of operating revenue in 1Q’21.1Q’21 interchange income of $3.0 million compared to $2.5 million in the prior year quarter. This increase is due to an increase in transaction volume. COVID-19 has adversely impacted service charges on deposits. In addition, we have suspended certain electronic banking fees due to the enhanced need for customers to access this channel.Mortgage banking: $12.8 million in net gains on mortgage loans in 1Q’21 vs. $8.8 million in the year ago quarter. A combination of higher sales volumes and stronger profit margins led to this increase.$509.0 million in mortgage loan originations in 1Q’21 vs. $311.1 million in 1Q’20 and $502.5 million in 4Q’20.1Q’21 mortgage loan servicing includes a $4.6 million ($0.17 per diluted share, after tax) increase in fair value adjustment due to price compared to a dcrease of $5.9 million ($0.21 per diluted share, after tax) in the year ago quarter.       Source: Company documents.  $26.4M  2021 1Q’21 Non-interest Income (millions)  Non-interest Income Trends ($M)  Highlights

Adoption of CECL   24  Adopted CECL on January 1, 2021 as allowed under the CARES Act extension. CECL day 1 adjustment to the ACL of $11.7 million which was within our disclosed range of $10.5 million to $12.5.Reserve for unfunded lending commitments increased $1.5 million.Retained earnings decreased $10.3 million. Allowance for credit losses (ACL) totaled $46.8 million at March 31, 2021. 1.68% of total portfolio loans 1.83% of total portfolio loans net of PPP loansQ1’21 provision for credit losses was a credit of $0.5 million.CECL Model Details:Discounted cash flow model with fourteen loan segments.Probability of default and loss given default based on long-term average for commercial loans and regression for mortgage and installment loans.Regression uses one year forecast / with immediate reversion to mean driven primarily by unemployment.Unemployment data: median of Bloomberg survey: 6.3% Q1, falls to 5.1% at the end of the one year forecast.Q factors: economic shock, forbearance activity, and loans in high risk industries.   Provision for Credit Losses Detail  Highlights


2021 Outlook Update  Category  Outlook  Lending  Continued growthLoan payoffs related to the Paycheck Protection Program will make loan growth challenging in 2021. IBCP goal of low (1%) single digit overall loan growth (5% - 7% excluding PPP impact), primarily supported by increases in commercial loans, mortgage loans and consumer loans. This growth forecast also assumes an improving Michigan economy.Q1 Update: Total loans increased $50.5 million (1.85%) in Q1’21. PPP round two loan production of $128.2 million is primarily responsible for the increase in total loans. PPP round one loans decreased $63.8 million due to loan forgiveness from the SBA. Commercial loans net of PPP production was a decrease of $5.6 million.   Net Interest Income  Growth driven primarily by higher average earning assetsIBCP goal of approximately 0.5% increase in net interest income (NII) over 2020. Expect the net interest margin (NIM) to trend lower (0.10% - 0.15%) in 2021 compared to full-year 2020. Primary driver is a reduction in earing asset yield. The forecast assumes no changes in the target federal funds rate in 2021 and long-term interest rates up very slightly over year end 2020 levels. Q1 Update: 1Q’21 net interest income was $0.1 million (0.31%) higher than the prior year quarter. The net interest margin was 3.05% for the quarter down 0.07% from the linked quarter and 0.58% from the prior year quarter. This primary driver of the decrease in the net interest margin is a higher allocation to lower yielding assets (mix), lower yields on new volume loans, lower yields on securities and slower accretion of PPP fees.   Provision for Credit Losses  Steady asset quality metricsVery 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 1.30% at 12/31/20. The initial (effective 1/1/20210) CECL adjustment is now expected to be approximately $10.5 million to $12.5 million. This CECL adjustment is still subject to certain final review procedures that will be completed in 1Q’21. A full year 2021 provision (expense) for credit losses of approximately 0.25% to 0.35% of average total portfolio loans would not be unreasonable.Q1 Update: The impact from our CECL adoption was an increase to our beginning of the year allowance for credit losses of $11.7 million which was within our disclosed range of $10.5 million to 12.5 million. The provision for credit losses was a credit of $0.5 million in the first quarter. If credit quality trends persist it is likely the full year provision for the ACL will be below our forecasted range of 0.25% to 0.35% of average total portfolio loans.   Non-interest Income  IBCP forecasted 2021 quarterly range of $13 million to $16 million with the total for the year down 30% to 35% from 2020 actual of $80.7 millionExpect mortgage loan origination volumes in 2021 to be down by approximately 30%. Expect overall mortgage banking revenues (gain on sale and mortgage loan servicing) to decline in 2020 due to lower volume as well as margin on loans sold. Expect service charges on deposits and interchange income in 2021 to be collectively comparable to 2020 (i.e. a decline in servicing charges on deposits due to lower NSF fees to be largely offset by an increase in interchange income). Q1 Update: Non-interest income totaled $26.4 million in Q1’21. Mortgage loan production as well as net gain on sale of mortgages was stronger than forecasted. Mortgage loans servicing added $5.2 million in non-interest income in Q1’21. The mortgage loan pipeline continues to be strong although refinance activity is slowing down.   Non-interest Expenses  IBCP forecasted 2021 quarterly range of $28.5 to $29.5 million with the total for the year down (4%-6%) from the 2020 actual of $122.4 million.Expect total compensation and employee benefits to be lower in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to a reduction in incentive compensation. Most other categories of non-interest expense expected to have small (1% to 2%) increases.Q1 Update: Total non-interest expense was $30.0 million in the first quarter, outside our $28.5 to $29.5 million targeted quarterly range. An increase in the accrual for incentive based compensation due to a higher than anticipated payout level is the primary driver of the increase in expense.
