INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS
2020 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Apr. 30, 2020 – Before summarizing the financial results for the quarter we want to take a moment to recognize that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant hardship to many of our customers and communities in so many ways. That is especially true for those who have been infected by the virus and suffered through the health issues that it has caused.  Our thoughts are with those who have been directly impacted, and we extend our appreciation to those who have aided and supported them.

Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) continues to respond to the challenges of the current environment. Our response was formulated throughout the month of February as we prepared our infrastructure to allow the majority of our staff to work remotely.  On Mar. 3rd we activated our Business Continuity plan to protect our customers, employees and business.  We will continue to 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:  Beginning Mar. 17th we limited our branch lobbies to appointment only and have kept drive through windows open.  With the ability to use drive through service, ATMs or our electronic banking solutions there has been minimal disruption to customers.  In addition, our flexible operating network has allowed us to efficiently redeploy our associates to high volume areas to fulfill customer requests into our call center, requests for consumer and commercial loan payment relief and mortgage financing requests.

Employee Safety:  For employees that need to remain in the branch servicing our customers, in addition to closing the branch lobbies, we have expanded sick and vacation time.  All non-branch employees either have the option, or are required to work remotely.  We currently have approximately 80% of our non-branch staff working remotely every day.  Prospectively, as our markets move out of the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” executive orders, we are installing “customer friendly” plastic shields throughout our delivery network to put both customers and staff at ease.

Loan Forbearances:  We take pride in being supportive of our customers and communities and have forbearance programs in place and available for those experiencing financial difficulty.  Through Apr. 17th, we’ve granted deferrals to 151 commercial customers with $129.3 million in loans, 605 retail customers with $76.6 million in portfolio loans, and 807 customers with $118.5 million within our book of  mortgage loans we service for others.  The forbearance terms are flexible enough to meet the specific needs of each customer, while protecting the safety and soundness of the Bank.

Payroll Protection Program:  Our response, and focus on this vital program, shows our commitment to the communities we serve. We have built an effective process to manage the high volume of applications that we’re receiving.  Customer demand for this program has been extraordinary.  Through Apr. 17th we had received 1,473 applications for $238.2 million in loan requests with 786 applications for $171.8 million accepted by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) prior to depletion of the initial funding on Apr. 16th.  We anticipate continuing this program as additional funding is allocated to the SBA and becomes available.

IBCP reported first quarter 2020 net income of $4.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, versus net income of $9.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Significant items impacting comparable first quarter 2020 and 2019 results include the following:


Provision for loan losses of $6.7 million ($0.24 per diluted share, after taxes) in the first quarter of 2020 due in part to the impact of COVID-19 protective measures on unemployment and economic activity as compared to $0.7 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after taxes) in the first quarter of 2019. The provision for loan losses, and the allowance for loan losses, were calculated under our existing incurred methodology. As permitted under section 4014 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, we have chosen to delay the implementation of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments or “CECL.”  This will be discussed further during our first quarter 2020 earnings conference call.

A change in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights (the “MSR Change”) of a negative $5.9 million ($0.21 per diluted share, after taxes) as compared to a negative MSR Change of $2.2 million ($0.07 per diluted share, after taxes) for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The first quarter of 2020 was highlighted by:


Pre-tax, pre-provision income was $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 ($18.4 million vs $14.4 million excluding the MSR Change for the same respective periods);

Growth in gains on mortgage loans of $5.2 million, or 144.8%, compared to the year ago quarter;

Net growth in total deposits, excluding brokered deposits, of $81.8 million, or 11.6% annualized;

The payment of a 20 cent per share dividend on February 14, 2020.

William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented:  “Amidst the extraordinary volatility in interest rates and uncertainty around the economic impact of COVID-19,  we were pleased with our first quarter results. The gains on mortgage loans more than offset the negative MSR Change and our provision for loan losses increased significantly due to the economic environment, while our core operating results were relatively stable.  We will continue to focus on the needs of our customers and communities, while preserving the value of our franchise.”

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest income totaled $30.2 million during the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of $0.05 million, or 0.2% from the year-ago period, and a decrease of $0.5 million, or 1.7%, from the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.63% during the first quarter of 2020, compared to 3.88% in the year-ago quarter and 3.70% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The year-over-year quarterly decrease in net interest income is due to an increase in average interest-earning assets that was more than offset by a decline in the net interest margin.  Average interest-earning assets were $3.35 billion in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $3.15 billion in the year-ago quarter and $3.32 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019.  The decline in the net interest margin primarily reflects the impact of lower market interest rates.  Accretion of the discount recorded on loans acquired from our acquisition of TCSB Bancorp, Inc. totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Non-interest income totaled $11.0 million and $10.0 million in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. This increase was  primarily due to changes in mortgage banking related revenues (net gains on mortgage loans partially offset by a decline in mortgage loan servicing, net), as described below.

Net gains on mortgage loans were $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $3.6 million in the year-ago quarter.  Mortgage loan origination volume increased 125.8% to $311.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $137.8 million in the year ago period reflecting lower market interest rates, which have increased mortgage loan refinance activity.

Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated a loss of $5.3 million and a loss of $1.2 million in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. This activity is summarized in the following table:

The significant variance in the fair value change due to price relates primarily to the decline in mortgage loan interest rates in the first quarter of 2020.  This decline increased projected prepayment rates for mortgage loans serviced for others, leading to a decrease in fair value due to price.
 
Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights totaled $14.8 million at Mar. 31, 2020 compared to $19.2 million at Dec. 31, 2019.  As of Mar. 31, 2020, the Company serviced approximately $2.68 billion in mortgage loans for others on which servicing rights have been capitalized.

Non-interest expenses totaled $28.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $28.0 million in the year-ago period.

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.9 million and $2.2 million in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.   The decrease in income tax expense is primarily due to lower pre-tax earnings in the first quarter of 2020.

Excludes loans that are classified as “troubled debt restructured” that are still performing.

Non-performing loans increased by $7.2 million since year-end 2019 due to an increase in non-performing commercial loans.  The increase in non-performing commercial loans primarily reflects the impact of a specific loan relationship that was in watch credit status at December 31, 2019.  Other real estate and repossessed assets totaled $1.5 million at Mar. 31, 2020 and $1.9 million at Dec. 31, 2019.

The provision for loan losses was an expense of $6.7 million and $0.7 million in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.  Included in the first quarter 2020 provision for loan losses is a $4.9 million increase in the qualitative reserve.  The level of the provision for loan losses in each period reflects the Company’s overall assessment of the allowance for loan losses, taking into consideration factors such as loan mix, levels of non-performing and classified loans, loan net charge-offs and changes in economic conditions.  The Company recorded loan net charge offs of $0.4 million and $0.3 million in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.  At Mar. 31, 2020, the allowance for loan losses totaled $32.5 million, or 1.20% of portfolio loans, compared to $26.1 million, or 0.96% of portfolio loans at Dec. 31, 2019 (1.25% and 1.01% of portfolio loans when excluding the remaining TCSB acquired loan balances for each period, respectively).

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital

Total assets were $3.63 billion at Mar. 31, 2020, an increase of $67.7 million from Dec. 31, 2019, primarily reflecting an increase in securities available for sale partially offset by a decline in loans.  Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $2.72 billion at Mar. 31, 2020, compared to $2.73 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.  Growth in commercial loans of $14.9 million and installment loans of $7.1 million were more than offset by a decline in mortgage loans of $28.9 million, due primarily to a securitization and a sale of $28.7 million of portfolio mortgage loans during the quarter.

Deposits totaled $3.08 billion at Mar. 31, 2020, an increase of $46.8 million from Dec. 31, 2019.  The increase in deposits is primarily due to growth in demand deposits and reciprocal deposits that were partially offset by a decline in time and brokered time deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $70.3 million at Mar. 31, 2020, versus $65.3 million at Dec. 31, 2019. Securities available for sale totaled $594.3 million at Mar. 31, 2020, compared to $518.4 million at Dec. 31, 2019.

Total shareholders’ equity was $335.6 million at Mar. 31, 2020, or 9.24% of total assets.  Tangible common equity totaled $302.2 million at Mar. 31, 2020, or $13.81 per share.  The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:

Exhibit 99.3

 Q1 EARNINGSConference Call – April 30, 2020 
 

 Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements  This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, predictions, forecasts, objectives, or assumptions of future events or performance, may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “seeks,” “intends” and similar words or phrases. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions, and uncertainties that could cause actual strategies, actions, or results to differ materially from those expressed in them, and are not guarantees of timing, future results, events, or performance. Because forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future strategies, actions, or results, based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, and estimates on the date hereof, there can be no assurance that actual strategies, actions or results will not differ materially from expectations. Therefore, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are changes in general economic, political or industry conditions; changes in monetary and fiscal policies, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board; volatility and disruptions in capital and credit markets; the interdependence of financial service companies; changes in regulation or oversight; unfavorable developments concerning credit quality; any future acquisitions or divestitures; the effects of more stringent capital or liquidity requirements; declines or other changes in the businesses or industries of Independent Bank Corporation’s customers; the implementation of Independent Bank Corporation’s strategies and business models; Independent Bank Corporation’s ability to utilize technology to efficiently and effectively develop, market and deliver new products and services; operational difficulties, failure of technology infrastructure or information security incidents; changes in the financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on deposit pricing; competitive product and pricing pressures among financial institutions within Independent Bank Corporation’s markets; changes in customer behavior; management’s ability to maintain and expand customer relationships; management’s ability to retain key officers and employees; the impact of legal and regulatory proceedings or determinations; the effectiveness of methods of reducing risk exposures; the effects of terrorist activities and other hostilities; the effects of catastrophic events; changes in accounting standards and the critical nature of Independent Bank Corporation’s accounting policies. Certain risks and important factors that could affect Independent Bank Corporation’s future results are identified in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other reports filed with the SEC, including among other things under the heading “Risk Factors” in such Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Independent Bank Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made, to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise.  2

 1Q 2020 Outlook Update  Category  Outlook  Lending  Continued growthIBCP goal of mid- single digit (approximately 7%) overall loan growth in 2020, primarily supported by increases in commercial loans, mortgage loans and consumer loans. Expect much of this growth to occur in the last three quarters of 2020. This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy.Q1 Update: Loans declined slightly for the quarter due to mortgage loan securitization and sale transactions. Given economic disruption due to COVID-19, we anticipate balances to be flat to low single digit growth. This excludes balances associated with PPP.  Net Interest Income  Growth driven primarily by higher portfolio loan balances, expect total deposits (including brokered time) to grow by approximately 5% in 2020 IBCP goal of approximately a 2% increase in net interest income (NII) over 2019. Expect the net interest margin (NIM) to be relatively stable in 2020 and comparable to the 4Q’19 level but lower than the full year 2019 NIM. The forecast assumes no changes in the target federal funds rate in 2020 and long-term interest rates up very slightly over year end 2019 levels. Q1 Update: First quarter rate environment very different than original forecast. Actual short term rates declined 150 bps and long term rates declined by almost 100 bps. Actual NIM compression of seven bps on linked quarter basis. We anticipate NIM to be relatively stable (slight decline) vs 1Q’20.  Provision for Loan 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 0.96% at 12/31/19. The initial (effective 1/1/2020) CECL adjustment is now expected to be approximately $8 million to $10 million. This revised lower range (compared to the 3Q’19 CECL estimate) primarily reflects the following factors: (i) a decline in commercial loan watch credits; (ii) a 4Q’19 update of the credit scoring of the retail loan portfolio reflecting improved scores; (iii) slightly higher prepayment rates in the retail loan portfolio; (iv) methodology refinements in the retail construction loan portfolio; and (v) changes in specific reserves. This CECL adjustment is still subject to certain final review procedures that will be completed in 1Q’20. A full year 2020 provision (expense) for loan losses of approximately 0.15% to 0.20% of average total portfolio loans would not be unreasonable.Q1 Update: We opted to delay implementation of CECL as described earlier. We did increase our qualitative reserve under incurred by $4.9 million, due to economic shock of COVID-19, deteriorating employment and significant forbearance activity. Similar future provisions are possible as we gain a better understanding as to how deep and how long this economic disruption lasts.   Non-interest Income  IBCP forecasted 2020 quarterly range of $11 million to $13.5 million with the total for the year up 3% to 4% from 2019 actual of $47.7 millionExpect mortgage loan origination volumes in 2020 to be down by approximately 15% due primarily to a decline in refinance activity. Expect overall mortgage banking revenues (gain on sale and mortgage loan servicing) to improve in 2020 due to not having any fair value write downs due to price for MSRs. Expect service charges on deposits and interchange income in 2020 to be collectively comparable to 2019 (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: NII was at the low end of the range at $11 million. Very strong 1Q’20 mortgage origination volumes due to drop in rates. $8.8 million in gains on mortgage loans that were partially offset by $5.9 million of negative MSR fair value change due to price.  Non-interest Expenses  IBCP forecasted 2020 quarterly range of $27.5 to $28.5 million with the total for the year up very slightly (less than 1%) from the 2019 actual of $111.7 million.Expect total compensation and employee benefits to be slightly lower in 2020 compared to 2019 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: NIE was just outside the top of our range at $28.7 million and we expect that going forward it will fall back into range.  Income Taxes  Approximately a 20% effective income tax rate in 2020. This assumes a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate during 2020.Q1 Update: 17.4% actual effective income tax rate. Reaffirm approximately 20% rate for 2020.  Share Repurchases  2020 share repurchase authorization at approximately 5% of outstanding shares. Expect total share repurchases in 2020 at just above the mid-point of this authorization.Q1 Update: We repurchased 678,929 shares in 1Q’20 at a weighted average price of $20.30. Repurchase activity ceased on March 16, 2020 and is on hold at this time.   25
