8-K - 2ND QUARTER EARNINGS RELEASE - FIRST MID BANCSHARES, INC.form_072612.htm
Exhibit 99
[GRAPHIC OMITTED][GRAPHIC OMITTED]

The first half of 2012 was quite good at First Mid despite a very challenging economy and regulatory environment as we realized growth in earnings, earnings per share, reduced levels of non-performing assets, a stronger capital position, an increase in book value and tangible book value per share and an increase in the common stock dividend.

Net income for the first six months of 2012 was $6,869,000 compared to $5,423,000 for the first half of 2011. Diluted earnings per share increased to $.80 per share compared to $.61 per share for the first half of 2011 and the common stock dividend grew to $.21 per share compared to $.19 per share in the first half of 2011.

Non-performing loans and other real estate owned declined to $9.7 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $12.0 million at December 31, 2011 and $15.3 million on June 30, 2011. Net loan charge-offs amounted to $696 thousand during the first half of 2012 which is down from $1.6 million of loans charged off in the first six months of 2011. The improvement in these two metrics allowed us to reduce the provision for loan losses to $1.0 million for the first half of 2012 compared to $1.9 million in the same period last year.  A measurement which we feel is a key indicator of balance sheet strength is the percentage of the allowance for loan losses to the level of non accrual loans. On June 30, 2012 this ratio had increased to 184% up from 165% at December 31, 2011 and 104% on June 30, 2011.

The net result of these financial improvements was an increase in the book value of First Mid common stock to $16.89 per share on June 30, 2012 from $16.18 on December 31, 2011 and $15.54 on June 30, 2011. Tangible book value per share (book value less goodwill and other intangible assets) correspondingly increased with tangible book value growing to $12.04 on June 30, 2012 compared to $11.24 on December 31, 2011 and $10.53 on June 30, 2011.

This quarter we also issued the final $8.25 million of our Series C Preferred Stock subscribed for by investors who required, and recently obtained, regulatory approval.

As a regulated business, we pay particular attention to capital and capital planning.  All of our relevant capital ratios have increased in recent quarters to levels well in excess of current regulatory requirements. In June, 2012, the regulatory agencies issued a proposal for new capital requirements as well as the introduction of different formulas for computing capital adequacy. These new requirements are complex and, when adopted, will no doubt impact banks of all sizes by requiring them to operate with somewhat higher levels of capital than in the past. These proposals are just one component of an ongoing comprehensive effort by banking regulators to strengthen and stabilize the U.S. banking system and, in doing so avoid a repeat of the economic disruption associated with the financial crisis that began in September 2008. We are currently in the process of evaluating the new proposals and will incorporate the requirements into our future capital planning.

A more detailed analysis of our financial results will be included in the second quarter 2012 Form 10-Q which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and be available for viewing at www.firstmid.com on or about August 8, 2012.

In summary, I am pleased with the financial progress we have made in 2012 as well as with progress not directly reflected in the financial statements.

Earlier in 2012, we began a three-year project which we have identified as Excellence 2015. This project has as its core objective broad based initiatives that will benefit all of our stakeholders before April 2015, the 150th anniversary of First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, N.A. Consistent with that objective, during the second quarter, we completed projects to streamline our account opening process so as to reduce the time required to open a deposit account and we added additional features to our electronic banking platforms for both business and retail customers. To expand the reach and impact of our Wealth Management business line, we added professionals to our team who will focus on retirement plan participants across our footprint.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I once again need to speak about the challenging operating environment which First Mid and other banks are operating within. The U.S. economy has been very slow to recover from the recession of 2008/2009 with some economists predicting a further slowdown in the months ahead.  As a result, the interest rate environment has been difficult for banks for some time with no signs of material improvement in the foreseeable future. Another challenge impacting the agricultural community is the heat and dry conditions which have persisted for the past several weeks in central Illinois.  While it is too early to accurately predict the financial effects of this weather pattern, it is likely that crop yields in 2012 will be below historical averages in most of our service area. First Mid has been a quality provider of financial services to the agricultural community throughout our history and our commitment to agriculture remains as strong as ever and we look forward to working with our agricultural customers during these difficult conditions.

Despite the challenges and complexities now associated with banking, I remain confident and optimistic about our future. So to all shareholders, customers and employees, thank you for your continued support of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc.

Thank you for your continued support of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc.

Very Truly Yours,

/s/ William S. Rowland
