“We had another solid quarter driven by further improvement in credit quality, with our non-performing assets and criticized assets reaching the lowest levels since 2008,” said Ed Garding, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. “Although we haven’t yet seen a significant increase in loan demand in our markets, we continue to grow other parts of our business, such as Wealth Management, which produced a 19% increase in revenues during 2013," Garding continued.
“For the full year of 2013, we were able to generate the highest level of net income in the Company's history and increase net income by 57% over 2012.

We are pleased to be able to generate this strong return for our shareholders and we look forward to delivering another positive year in 2014,” said Garding.

ANNUAL MEETING DATE SET

On January 23, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors voted that the Annual Meeting of Shareholders be held on May 21, 2014, at the First Interstate Bank Operations Center, 1800 Sixth Avenue North, Billings, Montana at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. The record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting is March 14, 2014.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent, or FTE, basis, increased to $61.1 million during fourth quarter 2013, compared to $60.1 million during third quarter 2013, primarily due to higher yields earned on loans and investment securities, lower yields paid on time deposits and lower average outstanding time deposits. During fourth quarter 2013, the Company's loan yield increased 6 basis points to 5.13%, as compared to 5.07% during third quarter 2013, and investment securities yield increased 1 basis point to 1.79%. In addition, average outstanding time deposits decreased $40.7 million as of December 31, 2013, as compared to September 30, 2013, and the cost of these deposits declined 4 basis points to 0.81% during fourth quarter. The Company's net FTE interest margin ratio remained unchanged at 3.52% during third and fourth quarter 2013.

Net FTE interest income decreased $1.0 million to $61.1 million during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to $62.1 million during fourth quarter 2012, and $7.0 million to $241.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $248.5 million during the same period in 2012. The Company's net FTE interest margin ratio decreased 3 basis points to 3.52% during fourth quarter 2013 and 12 basis points to 3.54% for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same respective periods in 2012. Declines in yields earned on the Company's loan and investment portfolios during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same periods in 2012, were partially offset by increases in average outstanding loans, reductions in the cost of interest bearing liabilities and lower average outstanding time deposits. Also offsetting the impact of lower asset yields during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same periods in 2012, was the December 2012 contractual repricing of $46 million of junior subordinated debentures from a weighted average fixed interest rate of 7.07% to variable rates averaging 2.60% over LIBOR.
        
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased to $25.7 million during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to $27.6 million during third quarter 2013 and $30.6 million during fourth quarter 2012, primarily due to lower income from the origination and sale of mortgage loans.

Income from the origination and sale of loans decreased to $5.6 million during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to $7.9 million during third quarter 2013, and $12.3 million during fourth quarter 2012. Management attributes these declines to the combined impact of lower demand for refinancing loans and seasonal declines in loans originated for home purchases. The Company's mortgage loan production decreased 24% during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to third quarter 2013, and 50%, as compared to fourth quarter 2012. Loans originated for home purchases accounted for approximately 67% of the Company's mortgage loan production during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to 72% during the third quarter 2013 and 32% during fourth quarter 2012. Income from the origination and sale of loans decreased 18% to $34.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $41.8 million in 2012, with production volume decreasing 23% year-over-year.

Wealth management revenues decreased to $4.4 million during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to $4.6 million during third quarter 2013. Third quarter 2013 wealth management revenues included revenues of $370 thousand related to the sale of two multi-million dollar life insurance policies. Wealth management revenues increased to $4.4 million and $17.1 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to $3.7 million and $14.3 million during the same respective periods in 2012, due to the addition of new wealth management customers and increases in market values of new and existing assets under trust management.

Other income increased to $2.2 million during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to $1.4 million during third quarter 2013 and fourth quarter 2012, primarily due to increases in earnings on securities held under deferred compensation plans.
    
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased to $57.8 million during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to $52.6 million during third quarter 2013, and remained flat as compared to $57.8 million during fourth quarter 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, non-interest expense decreased to $222.1 million, as compared to $229.6 million in 2012.

Salaries and wages expense increased to $24.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $22.8 million during third quarter 2013 and $23.3 million during fourth quarter 2012. Salaries and wages expense increased to $94.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $89.8 million in 2012. These increases reflect higher incentive compensation accruals resulting from the Company's improved financial performance.
    
Variations in net OREO expense between periods were primarily due to fluctuations in fair value write-downs, net gains and losses recorded on the sales and net operating expenses. Fourth quarter 2013 net OREO expense included $381 thousand of net operating expenses, $948 thousand of fair value write-downs and net gains of $37 thousand on the sale of OREO properties. This compares to $542 thousand of net operating expenses and net gains of $525 thousand during third quarter 2013, and $883 thousand of net operating expenses, $3.3 million of fair value write-downs and net gains of $273 thousand during fourth quarter 2012. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, net OREO expense included $2.0 million of net operating expenses, $3.5 million of fair value write-downs and net gains of $3.2 million, compared to $3.7 million of net operating expenses, $6.7 million of fair value write-downs and net gains of $1.0 million during 2012.

Other expenses increased to $15.1 million during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to $12.7 million during third quarter 2013. Historically, the Company's other expenses trend higher in the fourth quarter of the year, as compared to the third quarter. Other expenses remained flat at $15.1 million during fourth quarter 2013, as compared to $15.1 during fourth quarter 2012, and decreased 10% to $57.3 million during year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $63.6 million in 2012. During the first and second quarters of 2012, the Company accrued $3.0 million of loan collection and settlement costs related to one borrower, recorded donations expense of $1.5 million associated with the sale of a bank building to a charitable organization and wrote off $428 thousand of unamortized debt issuances costs. Exclusive of these non-core expenses, other expense decreased 2.4% during 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to decreases in FDIC insurance premiums.

BALANCE SHEET
    
Total loans increased to $4,345 million as of December 31, 2013, from $4,332 million as of September 30, 2013 and $4,224 million as of December 31, 2012, with the most notable growth occurring in residential real estate loans. Residential real estate loans increased to $868 million as of December 31, 2013, from $842 million as of September 30, 2013 and $708 million as of December 31, 2012, due to continued retention of certain residential loans with contractual terms of fifteen years or less and increased housing demand in the Company's market areas.

Consumer loans were $672 million as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, an increase from $637 million as of December 31, 2012. Year-over-year growth in consumer loans occurred primarily in indirect loans, which increased to $476 million as of December 31, 2013, from $438 million as of December 31, 2012, due to expansion of the Company's indirect lending program within existing markets.

Commercial real estate loans decreased to $1,449 million as of December 31, 2013, from $1,497 million as of December 31, 2012, primarily due to weak loan demand combined with the movement of lower quality loans out of the portfolio through charge-off, pay-off and foreclosure. Commercial real estate loans slightly increased to $1,449 as of December 31, 2013, from $1,441 as of September 30, 2013.

Agricultural loans decreased to $112 million as of December 31, 2013, from $124 million as of September 30, 2013 and $114 million as of December 31, 2012. Agricultural loans typically decline during the fourth quarter due to seasonal reductions in credit lines.

Total deposits increased to $6,134 million as of December 31, 2013, from $6,109 million as of September 30, 2013 and decreased from $6,240 million as of December 31, 2012. During fourth quarter 2013, the mix of deposits continued to shift away from higher costing time deposits to lower costing demand and savings deposits. As of December 31, 2013, time deposits comprised 19.4% of total deposits, as compared to 20.3% as of September 30, 2013 and 22.2% as of December 31, 2012.

OREO decreased to $16 million as of December 31, 2013, from $19 million as of September 30, 2013 and $32.6 million as of December 31, 2012. During fourth quarter 2013, the Company sold OREO properties with carrying values of $3 million at a $37 thousand net gain, and during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company sold OREO properties with carrying values of $25 million at a $3.2 million net gain. As of December 31, 2013, the composition of OREO properties was 15% residential real estate, 60% land and land development and 25% commercial.

The Company purchased $45 million of bank owned life insurance covering select officers and directors of the Company's banking subsidiary during fourth quarter 2013. An additional $15 million of bank owned life insurance was purchased during first quarter 2014.
  
ASSET QUALITY
    
Non-performing loans increased slightly to $97 million as of December 31, 2013, from $96 million as of September 30, 2013, primarily due to an increase in commercial and commercial real estate loans on non-accrual status during fourth quarter. Non-performing loans decreased to $97 million as of December 31, 2013 from $110 million as of December 31, 2012, due to the movement of non-accrual loans out of the loan portfolio through pay-off, charge-off and upgrade.

The Company charged off loans of $6 million during fourth quarter 2013, compared to $5 million during third quarter 2013 and $10 million during fourth quarter 2012. Approximately 33% of fourth quarter 2013 charge-offs was attributable to one commercial loan. Recoveries of charged-off loans were $2 million during fourth quarter 2013, compared to $2 million during third quarter 2013 and $4 million during fourth quarter 2012.

During fourth quarter 2013, the Company reversed $4.0 million of provision for loan losses, as compared to reversing $3.0 million of provision during third quarter 2013 and recording of additional provisions of $8.0 million during fourth quarter 2012. The fourth quarter 2013 reversal of provision is reflective of continued improvement in and stabilization of credit quality as evidenced by declining levels of non-performing and criticized loans. As of December 31, 2013, non-performing assets and total criticized assets were at their lowest quarterly levels since 2008.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
        
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States of America, or GAAP, this release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate capital adequacy: (i) tangible book value per common share; (ii) tangible common stockholders' equity to tangible assets; (iii) tangible assets, (iv) tangible common stockholders' equity, and (v) return on average tangible common equity.
        
For purposes of computing tangible book value per common share, tangible book value equals common stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets (except mortgage servicing rights). Tangible book value per common share is calculated as tangible common stockholders' equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of computing tangible common stockholders' equity to tangible assets, tangible assets equals total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets (except mortgage servicing rights). Tangible common stockholders' equity to tangible assets is calculated as tangible common stockholders' equity divided by tangible assets. For purposes of computing return on average tangible common equity, average tangible common equity equals average common stockholders' equity less average goodwill and average other intangible assets (except mortgage servicing rights). Return on average tangible common equity is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by average tangible common equity.
        
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from stockholders' equity and retain the effect of unrealized losses on securities and other components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Management also believes that such financial measures, which are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators, are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance due to the importance that analysts place on these ratios and also allow investors to compare certain aspects of our capitalization to other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies because other companies may not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. As a result, the usefulness of these measures to investors may be limited, and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
    
The following tables reconcile the above described non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as of the dates indicated.
