EFFINGHAM, Ill., Oct. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midland States Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSBI) (the “Company”) today reported net income of $86 thousand, or $0.00 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2020, which includes $13.9 million of charges primarily related to the Company’s previously announced branch and facilities optimization plan. This compares to net income of $12.6 million, or $0.53 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2020, and net income of $12.7 million, or $0.51 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2019.

Jeffrey G. Ludwig, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “Excluding the charges related to our branch and facilities optimization plan, we delivered a strong quarter highlighted by solid balance sheet growth, significant contributions from many of our sources of noninterest income, and disciplined expense management. Our diverse lending businesses enabled us to capitalize on pockets of strength in the economy where there is good demand, including equipment financing, small dollar consumer loans, and warehouse lines to commercial FHA lenders. As a result, our total loan balances increased at an annualized rate of more than 8% in the third quarter and helped drive an increase in net interest income.”

“We are seeing general improvement in the financial health of our borrowers as the economy continues to strengthen. Our deferred loans declined from 18.6% of total loans at the end of the second quarter to 5.7% of total loans at September 30, 2020. While the return to scheduled payments by many borrowers is encouraging, we remain cautious about the pace of the economic recovery and continued to add to our loan loss reserves, resulting in our allowance for credit losses increasing to 1.07% of total loans at September 30, 2020, from 0.97% at June 30, 2020.”

“As previously disclosed, during the third quarter we also made adjustments to our operations with the sale of our commercial FHA loan origination platform and the announcement of a series of planned branch and corporate office reductions. We believe the collective impact of these actions will help drive further improvement in our efficiency ratio and provide more operating leverage as we continue to grow our balance sheet in the future, resulting in more consistent financial performance, a higher level of returns, and greater franchise value,” said Mr. Ludwig.

Factors Affecting Comparability

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) accounting standard, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an estimated life of loan credit loss methodology.

Adjusted Earnings

Financial results for the third quarter of 2020 were impacted by $13.9 million in charges primarily related to the branch and facilities optimization plan (integration and acquisition expenses), $1.7 million in gains on sales of investment securities, and a $0.2 million loss on residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) held-for-sale. Excluding these amounts and certain income, adjusted earnings were $12.0 million, or $0.52 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2020.

Financial results for the second quarter of 2020 were impacted by a $0.4 million loss on residential MSRs held-for-sale and $0.1 million in integration and acquisition expenses. Excluding these amounts and certain income, adjusted earnings were $12.9 million, or $0.55 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2020.

A reconciliation of adjusted earnings to net income according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) is provided in the financial tables at the end of this press release.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2020 was 3.33%, compared to 3.32% for the second quarter of 2020. The Company’s net interest margin benefits from accretion income on purchased loan portfolios, which contributed 14 and 12 basis points to net interest margin in the third quarter of 2020 and second quarter of 2020, respectively. Excluding the impact of accretion income, net interest margin decreased 1 basis point from the second quarter of 2020, as a decline in the average yield on earning assets was largely offset by a reduction in the average cost of deposits.

Relative to the third quarter of 2019, net interest margin decreased from 3.70%. Accretion income on purchased loan portfolios contributed 20 basis points to net interest margin in the third quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of accretion income, net interest margin decreased 31 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to the impact of new subordinated debt issued in September 2019 and a decline in the average yield on earning assets, partially offset by a reduction in the average cost of deposits.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $50.0 million, an increase of 2.0% from $49.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. Excluding accretion income, net interest income increased $0.6 million from the prior quarter. Accretion income associated with purchased loan portfolios totaled $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared with $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Relative to the third quarter of 2019, net interest income increased $0.5 million, or 1.1%. Accretion income for the third quarter of 2019 was $3.1 million. Excluding the impact of accretion income, net interest income increased primarily due to organic loan growth and a significant decline in cost of funds.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $18.9 million, a decrease of 2.5% from $19.4 million for the second quarter of 2020. Impairment on commercial MSRs impacted noninterest income by $1.4 million and $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2020 and second quarter of 2020, respectively. Excluding the impairment, noninterest income increased due to higher levels of residential mortgage banking revenue, service charges on deposit accounts, and other income.

Relative to the third quarter of 2019, noninterest income decreased 3.5% from $19.6 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower commercial FHA revenue and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by higher residential mortgage banking revenue.

Wealth management revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $5.6 million, a decrease of 2.4% from the second quarter of 2020. Compared to the third quarter of 2019, wealth management revenue decreased 7.3%.

Commercial FHA revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $0.9 million, compared to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. The Company originated $50.9 million in rate lock commitments during the third quarter of 2020, prior to the sale of the origination platform on August 28, 2020, compared to $134.8 million in the prior quarter. Compared to the third quarter of 2019, commercial FHA revenue decreased $3.0 million.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 was $54.7 million, which included $13.9 million in charges primarily related to the branch and facilities optimization plan (integration and acquisition expenses), and a $0.2 million loss on residential MSRs held-for-sale, compared with $40.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, which included a $0.4 million loss on residential MSRs held-for-sale and $0.1 million in integration and acquisition expenses. Excluding the integration and acquisition expenses and losses on residential MSRs held-for-sale, noninterest expense was relatively unchanged from the prior quarter.

Relative to the third quarter of 2019, noninterest expense increased 13.8% from $48.0 million, which included $5.3 million in integration and acquisition expenses and a $0.1 million gain on residential MSRs held-for-sale. Excluding integration and acquisition expenses and gains/losses on MSRs held-for-sale, noninterest expense decreased 5.1% due principally to the Company’s expense reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives implemented over the past year.

Loan Portfolio

Total loans outstanding were $4.94 billion at September 30, 2020, compared with $4.84 billion at June 30, 2020 and $4.33 billion at September 30, 2019. The increase in total loans from June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to an increase in equipment finance loans and leases, commercial FHA warehouse lines of credit, and consumer loans.

Equipment finance balances increased $65.0 million from June 30, 2020 to $815.5 million, which are booked within the commercial loans and leases portfolio, reflecting management’s efforts to grow the equipment finance business.

The increase in total loans from September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to the growth in equipment finance balances, consumer loans, and loans originated under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).

Deposits

Total deposits were $5.03 billion at September 30, 2020, compared with $4.94 billion at June 30, 2020, and $4.45 billion at September 30, 2019. The increase in total deposits from the end of the prior quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in commercial FHA servicing deposits.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans totaled $67.4 million, or 1.36% of total loans, at September 30, 2020, compared with $60.5 million, or 1.25% of total loans, at June 30, 2020. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily attributable to the addition of three commercial real estate loans. At September 30, 2019, nonperforming loans totaled $45.2 million, or 1.04% of total loans.

Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2020 were $5.3 million, or 0.44% of average loans on an annualized basis, which primarily represents charge-offs taken against the three commercial real estate loans moved to nonperforming status referenced above.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2020, which reflects the higher level of net charge-offs experienced in the quarter.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was 1.07% of total loans and 78.3% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2020, compared with 0.97% of total loans and 77.8% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2020. Approximately 96.3% of the allowance for credit losses on loans at September 30, 2020 was allocated to general reserves.

Capital

At September 30, 2020, Midland States Bank and the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under Basel III, and Midland States Bank met the qualifications to be a ‘‘well-capitalized’’ financial institution, as summarized in the following table:

	Bank Level Ratios as of September 30, 2020	Consolidated Ratios as of September 30, 2020	Minimum Regulatory Requirements ⁽²⁾

2 Forward - Looking Statements. This presentation may contain forward - looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward - looking statements expressing management’s current expectations, forecasts of future events or long - te rm goals may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of Midland’s management, and are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should” o r o ther similar expressions. All statements in this presentation speak only as of the date they are made, and Midland undertakes no obligation to update any statement. A number of factors, many of which are beyond the ability of Midland to control or predic t, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in its forward - looking statements including the effects of the Corona virus Disease 2019 (COVID - 19) pandemic, including its potential effects on the economic environment, our customers and our operations, as well as any changes to federal, state or local government laws, regulations or orders in connection with the pandemic. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward - looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed o n such statements. Additional information concerning Midland and its businesses, including additional factors that could materi all y affect Midland’s financial results, are included in Midland’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures. This presentation may contain certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non - GAAP financial measure s include “Adjusted Earnings,” “Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share,” “Adjusted Return on Average Assets,” “Adjusted Return on Average Shareholders’ Equity,” “Adjusted Return on Average Tangible Common Equity,” “Efficiency Ratio,” “Tangible Common Equ ity to Tangible Assets,” “Tangible Book Value Per Share,” and “Return on Average Tangible Common Equity.” The Company believes th at these non - GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s funding profile and profitability. These non - GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore this presentation m ay not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non - GAAP measures are provided in the Appendix section of this presentation.
