William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “I continue to be very pleased with the high level of performance by our team generating strong core results for yet another quarter. We continue to execute on our strategies of investing in people and technology. During the third quarter we saw good growth in net interest income, stabilization of our net interest margin and across the board loan growth, net of PPP. Our commercial pipeline is at its highest level in many quarters. Fueling some of this growth was the opening of two new commercial loan production offices, one in Ottawa County and the second in Macomb County. Deposit gathering continues to be robust both via existing customers as well as through the addition of new customers. In addition, mortgage gains continue to be solid and our card strategies are generating good growth in interchange revenue. On the asset quality front, I could not be more pleased, with net recoveries for the quarter, commercial watch credits at 2.4% of the portfolio, and a very low level of past due loans. Following our second quarter whole bank conversion, we are seeing good utilization and growth rates in our ONE Wallet and Treasury ONE platforms. While there are many uncertainties and challenges ahead, we are excited about the momentum we have in our markets and look forward to continuing these trends through the end of 2021 and into 2022.”

Significant items impacting comparable quarterly and year to date 2021 and 2020 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) and $2.8 million ($0.10 per diluted share, after taxes) for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to a negative $1.1 million ($0.04 per diluted share, after taxes) and a negative $9.9 million ($0.35 per diluted share, after taxes) for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest income totaled $33.8 million during the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.8 million, or 5.7% from the year-ago period, and up $2.4 million, or 7.7%, from the second quarter of 2021. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.18% during the third quarter of 2021, compared to 3.31% in the year-ago period, and 3.02% in the second quarter of 2021. The year-over-year quarterly increase in net interest income was due to an increase in average interest-earning assets that was partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin. Average interest-earning assets were $4.30 billion in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $3.89 billion in the year ago quarter and $4.22 billion in the second quarter of 2021.

For the first nine months of 2021, net interest income totaled $95.5 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 3.1% from the first nine months in 2020. The Company’s net interest margin for the first nine months of 2021 was 3.09% compared to 3.42% in 2020. The increase in net interest income for the first nine months of 2021 compared to 2020 was also due to an increase in average interest- earning assets that was partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin.

Due principally 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. These lower interest rates combined with a higher allocation to lower yielding securities available for sale has placed continued pressure on the Company’s net interest margin.

In addition, commercial loan balances, interest income and yields have been impacted by Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) lending activity. PPP lending activity is summarized in the following tables:

Non-interest income totaled $19.7 million and $60.9 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, compared to $27.0 million and $58.4 million in the respective comparable year ago periods. These changes were primarily due to variances in mortgage banking related revenues (net gains on mortgage loans and mortgage loan servicing, net).

Net gains on mortgage loans in the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, were approximately $8.4 million and $20.2 million, respectively. For the first nine months of 2021, net gains on mortgage loans totaled $30.3 million compared to $46.7 million in 2020. The decrease in net gains on mortgage loans was primarily due to lower profit margins on mortgage loan sales, a decrease in the volume of mortgage loans sold and fair value adjustments on the mortgage loan pipeline.

Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated a gain of $1.3 million and a loss of $0.6 million in the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income of $4.5 million and a loss of $9.0 million, 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						Nine Months Ended
	9/30/2021			9/30/2020			9/30/2021			9/30/2020
Mortgage loan servicing, net:	(Dollars in thousands)
Revenue, net	$	2,023		$	1,743		$	5,809		$	5,062
Fair value change due to price		599			(1,089	)		2,813			(9,941	)
Fair value change due to pay-downs		(1,351	)		(1,298	)		(4,146	)		(4,087	)
Total	$	1,271		$	(644	)	$	4,476		$	(8,966	)

Net gain on securities available for sale totaled $0.01 million and $1.421 million in third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to zero and $0.253 million in the prior year third quarter and first nine months, respectively. The increase in gain during the first nine months of 2021 was related to the divestiture of a group of mortgage backed securities in the first quarter of 2021.

Non-interest expenses totaled $34.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $33.6 million in the year-ago period. For the first nine months of 2021, non-interest expenses totaled $97.1 million versus $89.7 million in 2020. These year-over-year increases in non-interest expense are primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits (for the year to date period), data processing, interchange, conversion related expenses (for the year to date period) and other expenses (for the quarter to date period). The increase in compensation and employee benefits in 2021 is due to several factors, including, wage increases that were generally effective at the start of the year, an increase in lending personnel, increased overtime primarily associated with a data processing conversion, a higher accrual for incentive compensation (due to higher base for such incentives), higher payroll taxes due to the increase in compensation and higher health care insurance costs (these costs during the first nine months of 2020 were unusually low due to the various COVID related lock-downs). In addition, the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 included $0.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of expenses related to the Company’s core data processing conversion (this conversion was completed in May 2021) compared to $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in the comparable periods in 2020. The first nine months of 2020 also included $0.4 million of expenses (primarily write-downs of fixed assets and leases) related to the closures of nine bank branch offices that were completed in the third quarter of 2020.

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $3.7 million and $11.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively. This compares to an income tax expense of $4.8 million and $9.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. The changes in income tax expense principally reflect changes in pre-tax earnings in 2021 relative to 2020.

Ratio of the allowance for credit losses to non-performing loans		837.19	%		450.01	%		349.43	%

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

Non-performing loans decreased $2.3 million from December 31, 2020, as all loan categories have declined, reflecting improving economic conditions and the Company’s collection efforts.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $0.7 million and an expense of $1.0 million in the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The provision for credit losses was a credit of $2.6 million and an expense of $12.9 million in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The quarterly and year-to-date decreases in the provision for credit losses in 2021 compared to 2020, were primarily the result of a decline in the adjustment to allocations based on subjective factors and an increase in recoveries of loans previously charged off. In particular, the higher year-to-date provision for credit losses in 2020 included a $10.7 million (or 122.1%) increase in the qualitative/subjective portion of the allowance for credit losses. That increase in 2020 principally reflected the unique challenges and prevailing economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential impact on the loan portfolio.

The Company recorded loan net recoveries of $1.5 million and $0.3 million in the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded loan net recoveries of $2.2 million and loan net charge-offs of $3.3 million, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses totaled $46.8 million at September 30, 2021 compared to $35.4 million at December 31, 2020. The increase from December 31, 2020 is attributed to 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 impact of the adoption of CECL was an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $11.7 million. At September 30, 2021, the allowance for credit losses equaled 1.62% of total portfolio loans (1.68% when excluding PPP loans) under CECL, compared to 1.30% of total portfolio loans (1.38% when excluding PPP loans) at December 31, 2020, under the probable incurred loss methodology.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital

Total assets were $4.62 billion at September 30, 2021, an increase of $418.3 million from December 31, 2020. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $2.88 billion at September 30, 2021, compared to $2.73 billion at December 31, 2020. Deposits totaled $4.01 billion at September 30, 2021, an increase of $374.7 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 $125.6 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $118.7 million at December 31, 2020. Securities available for sale totaled $1.35 billion at September 30, 2021, compared to $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 $400.0 million at September 30, 2021, or 8.65% of total assets. Tangible common equity totaled $368.2 million at September 30, 2021, or $17.27 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	9/30/2021	12/31/2020	Well Capitalized Minimum
Tier 1 capital to average total assets	8.75%	8.81%	5.00%
Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets	12.14%	12.81%	6.50%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets	12.14%	12.81%	8.00%
Total capital to risk-weighted assets	13.39%	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 then outstanding common stock.

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 increased $2.4 million, or 7.7%, in 3Q’21 vs. 2Q’21 due primarily to a $73.1 million increase in average interest earning assets and a 16 basis point increase in the net interest margin. Net interest margin was 3.18% during the third quarter of 2021, compared to 3.31% in the year-ago quarter and 3.02% in the second quarter of 2021.

Strong Non-interest Income 19 Diverse sources of non-interest income, representing 36.8% of operating revenue in 3Q’21.3Q’21 interchange income of $4.2 million compared to $3.4 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to an increase in transaction volume and a new switch contract that was executed in the fourth quarter of 2020. Mortgage banking: $8.4 million in net gains on mortgage loans in 3Q’21 vs. $20.2 million in the year ago quarter. A combination of lower mortgage loan sales volume, reduced profit margins and fair value adjustments led to this decrease.$453.8 million in mortgage loan originations in 3Q’21 vs. $536.5 million in 3Q’20 and $473.7 million in 2Q’21.3Q’21 mortgage loan servicing includes a $0.6 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after tax) increase in fair value adjustment due to price compared to a decrease of $1.1 million ($0.04 per diluted share, after tax) in the year ago quarter.

Focus on Improved Efficiency 20 Source: Company documents. Non-interest Expense ($M) Highlights Efficiency Ratio (4 quarter rolling average) Compensation and employee benefits expense of $21.7 million compared to $22.0 in the prior year quarter. Compensation (salaries and wages) increased $1.2 million due to raises that were generally effective at the start of the year, increased overtime and staffing due primarily to the data processing conversion and some new positions (particularly new commercial lenders and related support staff). $2.1 million decrease in incentive compensation accrual due to the magnitude of the change from the prior respective linked quarter was much larger in 2020 resulting in a larger true up in 3Q’21. Payroll taxes and employee benefits rose $0.6 million due to higher health care costs (2020 was unusually low due to CVOID related lock-downs). Data processing costs increased $0.8 million due primarily to new software and technology product/service additions as well as increase due to higher asset base.3Q’21 non-interest expense included $0.3 million of conversion related expenses (associated with core data processing conversion that was completed in May 2021).Opportunities exist to gain additional efficiencies as we continue to optimize our delivery channels.

2021 Outlook Update Category Outlook Lending Continued growthLoan payoffs related to the Paycheck Protection Program will make loan growth challenging in 2021. The goal of low (1%) single digit overall portfolio loan growth (5% - 7% excluding PPP impact), is based on increases in commercial loans (excluding PPP impact), mortgage loans and consumer loans. This growth forecast also assumes an improving Michigan economy.Q3 Update: Total portfolio loans increased $69.4 million (9.8% annualized) in Q3’21. Growth in retail (mortgage and installment) loans offset a decline in commercial loans that was due to a $81.7 million decrease in PPP loan balances in 3Q’21. Excluding PPP loans, total portfolio loans grew at a 10.8% annualized rate during the first nine months of 2021, which was higher than our forecasted range. 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. Q3 Update: 3Q’21 net interest income was $1.8 million (5.8%) higher than the prior year quarter. The net interest margin was 3.18% for the quarter up 0.16% from the linked quarter and down 0.13% 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 loan volumes, and lower yields on securities available for sale. 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 1/1/2021) 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.Q3 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 the disclosed range of $10.5 million to 12.5 million. The provision for credit losses was a credit of $0.6 million in 3Q’21 and was a credit of $2.6 million for the first nine months of 2021. If credit quality trends persist it is likely that the full year provision for credit losses 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). Q3 Update: Non-interest income totaled $19.7 million in Q3’21, which was above the forecasted range. 3Q’21 mortgage loan originations, sales and gains totaled $453.8 million, $279.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively. Mortgage loan servicing generated a gain of $1.3 million in Q3’21 due primarily to a positive $0.6 million fair value adjustment due to price. The mortgage loan pipeline continues to be solid although refinance activity is slowing down. Non-interest Expenses IBCP forecasted 2021 quarterly range of $28.5 million 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.Q3 Update: Total non-interest expense was $34.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, well above our $28.5 million to $29.5 million targeted quarterly range. Increases in compensation and employee benefits, data processing and conversion related expenses were the primary categories that caused actual non-interest expenses to exceed the target range. Income Taxes Approximately a 20% effective income tax rate in 2021. This assumes a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate during 2021. Q3 Update: Actual effective income tax rate of 18.8% and 18.5% for 3Q’21 and first nine months of 2021, respectively. Share Repurchases 2021 share repurchase authorization at approximately 5% (1.1 million) of outstanding shares. Expect total share repurchases in 2021 at the mid-point of this authorization.Q3 Update: The Company repurchased 659,350 shares at an average price of $20.89 during the first nine months of 2021. 25
