INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS
2012 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

IONIA, Mich., Jan. 30, 2012 - Independent Bank Corporation (Nasdaq: IBCP) reported fourth quarter 2012 net income applicable to common stock of $10.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, versus a net loss applicable to common stock of $9.8 million, or $1.15 per share, in the prior-year period.  For the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company reported net income applicable to common stock of $21.9 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to a net loss applicable to common stock of $24.4 million, or $2.94 per share, in the prior-year period.  For periods where the Company is reporting a profit, the diluted earnings per share calculation includes, among other things, the assumed conversion of mandatorily convertible preferred stock using a five-day average price per common share based on the applicable period end.

The Company’s fourth consecutive profitable quarter was highlighted by:

 
·
Completion of the previously announced branch sale with a resulting net gain of $5.4 million.
 
·
Additional improvement in asset quality, with non-performing assets down 15% during the quarter and 37% since the end of 2011.
 
·
A $6.5 million, or 94%, year-over-year decline in the quarterly provision for loan losses.
 
·
Strong mortgage-banking results with a $1.8 million, or 51%, year-over-year increase in quarterly net gains on mortgage loans.
 
·
Regulatory capital ratios that increased significantly and remain substantially above minimum requirements for “well-capitalized” institutions.

William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “We are very pleased to report our fourth consecutive quarter of profitability in 2012 as well as further progress in improving asset quality, as evidenced by a reduction in our non-performing loans, loan net charge-offs and the provision for loan losses as compared to the year ago quarter.  With the completion of the branch sale and the resulting increase in our regulatory capital ratios, our capital initiatives are now centered on strategies to convert the preferred stock owned by the U.S. Treasury into common stock and exit TARP.  We are also focused on preserving the potential future use of our net deferred tax asset, which totaled approximately $65.1 million at Dec. 31, 2012 and on which we have established a full valuation allowance.  The potential future recovery of this valuation allowance represents a source of capital that would be of substantial value to our shareholders.”

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest income totaled $20.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2012, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 9.1% from the year-ago period, and a decrease of $0.6 million, or 2.7% from the third quarter of 2012.  The Company’s net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.96% during the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 4.40% in the year-ago period, and 3.92% in the third quarter of 2012. The net interest margin decreased on a year-over-year basis due primarily to a change in asset mix, as higher yielding loans declined and lower yielding interest-bearing cash balances and short-term investments increased.  However, in Dec. 2012, lower yielding interest-bearing cash balances and other short-term investments declined primarily due to funding needed for the branch sale. Average interest-earning assets were $2.10 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $2.08 billion in the year-ago quarter and $2.18 billion in the third quarter of 2012.

For the full year of 2012, net interest income totaled $86.3 million, a decrease of $8.3 million, or 8.8% from 2011.  The Company’s net interest margin for the full year of 2012 decreased to 4.01% compared to 4.42% in 2011.  The reasons for the decline in net interest income for the full year of 2012 are generally consistent with those described above for the comparative year-over-year quarterly periods.

Service charges on deposits totaled $4.4 million and $17.9 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and full year of 2012, compared to $4.6 million and $18.3 million, respectively, in the year ago periods.  Interchange income totaled $2.1 million and $9.2 million for the fourth quarter and full year of 2012, respectively, compared to $2.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively, in the year ago periods.  The year-over-year quarterly declines in 2012 are due primarily to the impact of the branch sale.

Net gains on mortgage loans were $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $3.5 million in the year-ago quarter.  For the full year of 2012, net gains on mortgage loans totaled $17.3 million compared to $9.3 million in 2011. The increase in net gains relates primarily to a rise in mortgage loan sales volume associated with increased origination volume driven by record low interest rates.

Mortgage loan servicing generated income of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to a loss of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. This improvement was due to the change in the impairment reserve (a $1.1 million impairment recovery in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to a $0.2 million impairment charge in the year-ago quarter) that was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in the amortization of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights.  The recovery of a portion of previously recorded impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily reflects the payoff/refinance of higher interest rate loans as well as a modest increase in interest rates which caused expected future mortgage loan prepayment speeds to slightly decrease.  For the full year of 2012 and 2011, mortgage loan servicing generated income of $0.2 million and a loss of $2.0 million, respectively.  The full year comparative variance is primarily due to the change in the impairment reserve (a $0.5 million impairment recovery in 2012 compared to a $3.3 million impairment charge in 2011) that was partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in the amortization of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights.  Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights totaled $11.0 million at Dec. 31, 2012 compared to $11.2 million at Dec. 31, 2011.  As of Dec. 31, 2012, the Company serviced approximately $1.75 billion in mortgage loans for others on which servicing rights have been capitalized.

The Company recorded a net gain of $5.4 million on the sale of 21 branches.  This transaction closed on December 7, 2012 and resulted in the transfer of approximately $403.1 million of deposits and the sale of approximately $48.0 million of loans.  The transaction also resulted in the transfer of $336.1 million of cash to the purchaser of the branches.

Non-interest expenses totaled $29.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $36.7 million in the year-ago period.  The quarterly year-over-year decline in non-interest expenses was primarily due to decreases in occupancy costs (down $0.4 million), loan and collection costs (down $0.5 million), legal and professional fees (down $0.6 million), net losses on other real estate and repossessed assets (down $0.8 million), credit card and bank service fees (down $0.3 million), vehicle service contract counterparty contingencies (down $5.5 million) and the provision for loss reimbursement on sold loans (down $0.6 million).  These declines were partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in compensation and benefits.  For the full year of 2012, non-interest expenses totaled $116.7 million versus $133.9 million in 2011.  The categories of non-interest expenses that declined for the full year of 2012 are generally consistent with those described above for the comparative year-over-year quarterly periods.  Credit related costs (loan and collection, net losses on other real estate and repossessed assets, and vehicle service contract counterparty contingencies) have declined significantly in 2012, which primarily reflects the overall decrease in the volume of problem credits (non-performing loans and “watch” credits), stabilization in collateral values, and lower expected incurred losses and reduced levels of payment plan receivables.  The increase in compensation and benefits primarily reflects expenses associated with reinstating certain employee incentive programs (including the Company’s employee stock ownership plan) that had been suspended or reduced in prior years, and severance costs related to staff reduction initiatives.   Excluding the impact of the branch sale, average full time equivalent employee levels declined by 7.5% during 2012 as compared to the prior year period.

Asset Quality

Commenting on asset quality, President and CEO Kessel added:  "Our provision for loan losses decreased by $6.5 million, or 93.5%, in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the year-ago amount, primarily reflecting a reduction in non-performing loans, a lower level of watch credits, reduced loan net charge-offs, and an overall decline in total loan balances.  Since the start of 2012, non-performing loans and commercial loan watch credits have declined by approximately 45% and 33%, respectively.  In addition, thirty- to eighty-nine day delinquency rates at Dec. 31, 2012 were 0.97% for commercial loans and 1.40% for mortgage and consumer loans. These delinquency rates continue to be well managed as we strive to further improve asset quality and reduce credit related costs."

Excludes loans that are classified as “troubled debt restructured” that are still performing.
 
(2)
Represents payment plans for which no payments have been received for 90 days or more and for which Mepco has not yet completed the process to charge the applicable counterparty for the balance due. These balances exclude receivables due from Mepco counterparties related to the cancellation of payment plan receivables.

Non-performing loans have declined by $26.9 million, or 45.0%, since year-end 2011.  All categories of non-performing loans declined, but the principal decreases since year-end 2011 were in commercial loans and residential mortgage loans. The decline in non-performing loans primarily reflects loan net charge-offs, pay-offs, negotiated transactions and the migration of loans into ORE during 2012.  Non-performing commercial loans have declined by $63.3 million, or 81.1%, since they peaked in 2008.  Non-performing retail (residential mortgage and consumer/installment) loans have declined by $41.1 million, or 69.5%, since they peaked in 2009.  Other real estate and repossessed assets totaled $26.1 million at Dec. 31, 2012, compared to $34.0 million at Dec. 31, 2011.

The provision for loan losses was $0.4 million and $6.9 million in the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively.  For the full year of 2012, the provision for loan losses totaled $6.9 million versus $27.9 million in 2011.  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, and loan net charge-offs.  Loan net charge-offs were $4.2 million (1.15% annualized of average loans) in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $6.9 million (1.70% annualized of average loans) in the fourth quarter of 2011.  Loan net charge-offs were $20.9 million (1.46% of average loans) and $37.0 million (2.20% of average loans) for all of 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The full year decline in 2012 loan net charge-offs by category were: commercial loans $9.7 million; mortgage loans $5.0 million; and consumer/installment loans $1.3 million.  At Dec. 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses totaled $44.3 million, or 3.12% of portfolio loans, compared to $58.9 million, or 3.73% of portfolio loans, at Dec. 31, 2011.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital

Total assets were $2.02 billion at Dec. 31, 2012, a decrease of $283.5 million, or 12.3%, from Dec. 31, 2011.  The decline in total assets is due to the impact of the branch sale.  Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $1.42 billion at Dec. 31, 2012, compared to $1.58 billion at Dec. 31, 2011.  Deposits totaled $1.78 billion at Dec. 31, 2012, a decrease of $306.6 million from Dec. 31, 2011.  Excluding the impact of the branch sale, deposits would have increased by $96.5 million during 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $179.8 million at Dec. 31, 2012, versus $341.1 million at Dec. 31, 2011.  This decrease is due to the impact of the branch sale.  Securities available for sale totaled $208.4 million at Dec. 31, 2012, versus $157.4 million at Dec. 31, 2011.  This $51.0 million increase is primarily due to the purchase of residential mortgage-backed and U.S. government agency securities during 2012.

Total shareholders’ equity was $135.0 million at Dec. 31, 2012, or 6.7% of total assets.  Tangible common equity totaled $46.8 million at Dec. 31, 2012, or $5.15 per share.  The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:
 
Regulatory Capital Ratio

This ratio would be 9.40% at 12/31/12 if based on period end assets rather than average assets.

(A) These amounts are calculated using net income (loss) applicable to common stock.  For any period in which net income is recorded, dividends on convertible preferred stock are added back in the diluted per share calculation.

(B) Average shares of common stock for basic net income (loss) per common share include shares issued and outstanding during the period and participating share awards.

(C) Average shares of common stock for diluted net income per common share include shares to be issued upon conversion of convertible preferred stock, shares to be issued upon exercise of common stock warrants, shares to be issued upon exercise of stock options, restricted stock units and stock units for a deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors.  For any period in which a loss is recorded, the assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock, assumed exercise of common stock warrants, assumed exercise of stock options, restricted stock units and stock units for a deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors would have an anti-dilutive impact on the loss per share and are thus ignored in the diluted per share calculation.

(D) Ratios have been annualized for quarterly periods.
