Revenue from our key fee initiatives increased 53% compared to the first quarter of 2012," stated Mitchell Feiger, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Overall Fee Income Growth Continues:
Revenues from key fee initiatives increased 7.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, as a result of the 31.0% increase in leasing revenues to $16.3 million. This increase was primarily driven by the addition of Celtic Leasing Corp. ("Celtic"), our recently acquired leasing subsidiary, which contributed $6.0 million in leasing revenues to our first quarter 2013 results.
Revenues from key fee initiatives increased 52.5% compared to the first quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of the 133.7% increase in leasing revenues. Capital markets and international banking service fees and card fees increased 57.8% and 31.7%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2012.
Core non-interest income to total revenues ratio was 34.6% in the first quarter compared to 34.2% in the prior quarter and 26.5% in the first quarter of 2012.

Net Interest Margin Stable Compared to Prior Quarter:
Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.59% for the first quarter of 2013 compared to 3.57% for the prior quarter and 3.87% for the first quarter of 2012. The change from the first quarter of 2012 was due to average yields on interest earning assets declining more than average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.
Net interest income declined compared to the prior quarter primarily due to two fewer days in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. Compared to the first quarter of 2012, net interest income declined due to lower average interest earning asset balances (as a result of a decrease in covered loans) as well as a decline in net interest margin.

First Quarter Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis decreased $1.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2012.  The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013 was due primarily to two fewer days in the first quarter.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis decreased $8.6 million from the first quarter of 2012.  The decrease from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013 was due to lower average earning asset balances (as a result of a decrease in covered loans) as well as a decline in net interest margin. Our net interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, declined to 3.59% for the first quarter of 2013 compared to 3.87% for the first quarter of 2012.

Letter denotes the corresponding line items where these non-core non-interest income items reside in the consolidated statements of income as follows:  A – Net loss recognized on other real estate owned, B – Other operating income.

Core non-interest income for the first quarter of 2013 was consistent with the fourth quarter of 2012.
Net lease financing income increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of Celtic at the end of 2012 and the continued very strong performance from our LaSalle leasing subsidiary. Remarketing gains and fees from the sale of equipment maintenance contracts can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
Card fee income increased primarily due to fees earned on debit and credit cards.
Capital markets and international banking service fees decreased primarily due to a decrease in merger and acquisition advisory fees, as well as a decrease in interest rate swap fees, which can fluctuate based on loan volumes.
Loan service fees decreased due to a decrease in prepayment fees.
Consumer and other deposit service fees decreased as a result of lower NSF fees.

Core non-interest income for the first quarter of 2013 rose 32.0% compared to the first quarter of 2012.
Net lease financing income increased as a result of the increase in remarketing gains and fees from the sale of equipment maintenance contracts, as well as the impact on leasing revenues attributable to Celtic.
Card fee income increased primarily due to fees earned on prepaid, debit and credit cards.
Capital markets and international banking service fees increased primarily due to an increase in loan placement and interest rate swap fees.

Non-core non-interest income for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth and first quarters of 2012 was primarily impacted by lower losses recognized on other real estate owned ("OREO").

Letters denote the corresponding line items where these non-core non-interest expense items reside in the consolidated statements of income as follows:  A – Salaries and employee benefits.

Core non-interest expense, which included a full quarter of Celtic's operating expenses, increased by $1.0 million (+1.5%) from the fourth quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.
Other operating expenses were higher as a result of an increase in the clawback liability related to our loss share agreements with the FDIC.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased due to higher property taxes and building maintenance expense partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense.
Other intangible amortization expense increased due to the Celtic acquisition.
Professional and legal expense decreased due to less collection activity.
Other real estate expense decreased due to lower construction costs and higher real estate tax refunds received.

Core non-interest expense increased by $3.8 million (+5.7%) from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.
Salaries and employee benefits increased due to annual salary increases, the impact of Celtic and an increase in incentives and commissions on higher lease revenues.
Other operating expenses were higher as a result of an increase in the clawback liability related to our loss share agreements with the FDIC recorded during the first quarter of 2013.
Other intangible amortization expense increased due to the Celtic acquisition.
Other real estate expense decreased due to fewer OREO properties.

Non-core non-interest expense decreased from the prior quarter as we did not incur any branch impairment charges in the first quarter of 2013, while in the fourth quarter of 2012, we incurred $1.4 million in branch impairment charges.

We define potential problem loans as performing loans rated substandard that do not meet the definition of a non-performing loan (See “Asset Quality” section above for non-performing loans).  Potential problem loans carry a higher probability of default and require additional attention by management.
(4)
Accruing restructured loans consists primarily of residential real estate and home equity loans that have been modified and are performing in accordance with those modified terms as of the dates indicated.

The following table presents data related to non-performing loans by category (excluding loans held for sale and credit-impaired loans that were acquired as part of our FDIC-assisted transactions) as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Our deposit mix improved over the past twelve months as low cost deposits increased by 5.9% and comprised 76% of total deposits at March 31, 2013 compared to 70% at March 31, 2012 driven by noninterest bearing deposit inflows.

CAPITAL

Tangible book value per common share increased to $15.57 at March 31, 2013 compared to $14.81 a year ago primarily due to retained net income. Our regulatory capital ratios remain strong and MB Financial Bank, N.A. was categorized as “well capitalized” at March 31, 2013 under the Prompt Corrective Action (“PCA”) provisions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this press release and in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, in other press releases or other public stockholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “believe,” “will,” “should,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These statements may relate to our future financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenues or earnings projections, or other financial items. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) expected revenues, cost savings, synergies and other benefits from our merger and acquisition activities might not be realized within the anticipated time frames or at all, and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; (2) the possibility that the expected benefits of the FDIC-assisted and other transactions we previously completed will not be realized; (3) the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which could necessitate additional provisions for loan losses, resulting both from loans we originate and loans we acquire from other financial institutions; (4) results of examinations by the Office of Comptroller of Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or write-down assets; (5) competitive pressures among depository institutions; (6) interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior and net interest margin; (7) the impact of repricing and competitors’ pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; (8) fluctuations in real estate values; (9) the ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers’ needs and developments in the market place; (10) our ability to realize the residual values of our direct finance, leveraged, and operating leases; (11) our ability to access cost-effective funding; (12) changes in financial markets; (13) changes in economic conditions in general and in the Chicago metropolitan area in particular; (14) the costs, effects and outcomes of litigation; (15) new legislation or regulatory changes, including but not limited to the Dodd-Frank Act and regulations adopted thereunder, any changes in capital requirements pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and the implementation of the Basel III capital standards, other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry and changes in federal and/or state tax laws or interpretations thereof by taxing authorities; (16) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; (17) our future acquisitions of other depository institutions or lines of business; and (18) future goodwill impairment due to changes in our business, changes in market conditions, or other factors.

We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include core non-interest income, core non-interest income to revenues (with non-core items excluded from both core non-interest income and revenues), core non-interest expense, non-core non-interest income and non-core non-interest expense, net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, efficiency ratio and the ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets with net gains and losses on investment securities, net losses on sale of other assets, net losses on other real estate owned, and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest income components of these ratios, prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, impairment charges and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest expense components of these ratios, with tax equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, as applicable; ratios of tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 common capital to risk-weighted assets; tangible book value per common share; and annualized cash return on average tangible common equity. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons.

Management believes that core and non-core non-interest income and non-interest expense are useful in assessing our core operating performance and in understanding the primary drivers of our non-interest income and non-interest expense when comparing periods.

The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income, net interest margin, tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. For the same reasons, management believes the tax equivalent adjustments to tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance are useful.

Management also believes that by excluding net gains and losses on investment securities, net losses on sale of other assets, net losses on other real estate owned and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest income components, and excluding prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, impairment changes and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest expense components, of the efficiency ratio and the ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets, these ratios better reflect our core operating performance, as the excluded items do not pertain to our core business operations and their exclusion makes these ratios more meaningful when comparing our operating results from period to period.

In addition, management believes that presenting the ratio of Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets is useful for assessing our capital strength and for peer comparison purposes. The other measures exclude the acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax benefit, in determining tangible assets, tangible equity, tangible common equity and average tangible common equity and exclude other intangible amortization expense, net of tax benefit, in determining net cash flow available to common stockholders. Management believes the presentation of these other financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial results, as they provide a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well as our capital strength. Management also believes that providing measures that exclude balances of acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that these are standard financial measures used in the banking industry to evaluate performance.

The non-GAAP disclosures contained herein should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

A reconciliation of net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest margin is contained in the tables under “Net Interest Margin.” A reconciliation of tangible book value per common share to book value per common share is contained in the “Selected Financial Ratios” table. Reconciliations of core and non-core non-interest income and non-interest expense to non-interest income and non-interest expense are contained in the tables under “Results of Operations—First Quarter Results.”
