Chemical Financial Corporation Reports 2014 First Quarter Operating Results
MIDLAND, MI, April 21, 2014 -- Chemical Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:CHFC) today announced 2014 first quarter net income of $13.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to 2013 first quarter net income of $13.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, and 2013 fourth quarter net income of $14.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share. The decline in per share earnings from the prior year’s first quarter was primarily attributable to the higher number of outstanding shares in this year’s first quarter due to Chemical Financial Corporation's ("Corporation") September 2013 follow-on common equity offering.
“Chemical Financial Corporation enjoyed another solid quarter of earnings as increasing net interest income and a lower loan loss provision more than offset lower noninterest income. The decline in noninterest income was largely attributable to lower mortgage banking revenue, lower gains on securities sales, and lower customer-related service fees, as an exceptionally cold and snowy winter across Michigan impacted consumer behavior during the quarter. Despite the unusual weather, we sustained our recent pattern of organic loan growth, with total loans up 2.3% during the quarter and 13.6% over the past year,” noted David B. Ramaker, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Chemical Financial Corporation.
“Importantly, during the quarter, we continued to advance our strategic growth initiative with the March 2014 announcement of our partnership with Northwestern Bancorp, Inc., the holding company for Northwestern Bank. We view Northwestern, with its 25 locations across 11 northwestern Michigan counties and $758 million in deposits, as the premier northwestern Michigan community banking franchise, and believe the combination of these two community-driven, Michigan-focused institutions will provide a compelling choice for the state's residents and businesses. We remain confident in our ability to achieve additional competitive and acquisitive market share gains as we move forward,” added Ramaker.
Net income in the first quarter of 2014 was $0.6 million, or 4.4%, higher than the first quarter of 2013, with the increase attributable to a combination of higher net interest income and a lower provision for loan losses, both of which were partially offset by lower noninterest income and slightly higher operating expenses. Net income of $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 was $0.6 million, or 3.9%, lower than the fourth quarter of 2013, with the decrease primarily attributable to lower net interest income.
The Corporation's return on average assets was 0.90% during the first quarter of 2014, compared to 0.91% in the first quarter of 2013 and 0.93% in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Corporation's return on average shareholders' equity was 8.0% in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 9.0% in the first quarter of 2013 and 8.4% in the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease in return on average shareholders' equity in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2013, was primarily attributable to an increase in shareholders' equity resulting from the Corporation's September 2013 follow-on common equity offering.
Net interest income was $49.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, $2.1 million higher than the first quarter of 2013, although $1.5 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in net interest income in the first quarter of 2014 over the first quarter of 2013 was largely attributable to the positive impact of loan growth of $568 million, or 13.6%, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in net interest income in the first quarter of 2014 from the fourth quarter of 2013 was largely attributable to two fewer days in the first quarter of 2014.
The net interest margin (on a tax-equivalent basis) was 3.53% in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 3.54% in the first quarter of 2013 and 3.63% in the fourth quarter of 2013. The slight decrease in the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2013, was primarily attributable to the significant positive impact attributable to growth in loans during the twelve months ended March 31, 2014, that was largely offset by loans repricing downward. The average yield on the loan portfolio was 4.28% in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 4.69% in the first quarter of 2013 and 4.42% in the fourth quarter of 2013. The average yield of the investment securities portfolio was 2.11% in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 2.19% in the first quarter of 2013 and 2.07% in the fourth

quarter of 2013. Modest changes in the mix of customer deposits and the repricing of matured customer certificates of deposit resulted in the Corporation's average cost of funds declining to 0.29% in the first quarter of 2014 from 0.36% in the first quarter of 2013 and 0.30% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The provision for loan losses was $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The decreases in the provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2014, compared to both the first quarter of 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2013 were attributable to continued improvement in the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio.
The Corporation's nonperforming loans, consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and nonperforming troubled debt restructurings, totaled $76.5 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $82.0 million at December 31, 2013 and $86.4 million at March 31, 2013. Nonperforming loans comprised 1.61% of total loans at March 31, 2014, compared to 1.76% at December 31, 2013 and 2.06% at March 31, 2013. The reduction in nonperforming loans during the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2014 was attributable to a combination of improving economic conditions and loan charge-offs.
Net loan charge-offs were $2.2 million, or 0.19% of average loans, in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $4.7 million, or 0.45% of average loans, in the first quarter of 2013 and $4.5 million, or 0.39% of average loans, in the fourth quarter of 2013.
At March 31, 2014, the allowance for loan losses of the originated loan portfolio was $78.0 million, or 1.75% of originated loans, compared to $78.6 million, or 1.81% of originated loans, at December 31, 2013 and $82.3 million, or 2.16% of originated loans, at March 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses of the originated loan portfolio as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 102% at March 31, 2014, compared to 96% at December 31, 2013 and 95% at March 31, 2013.
Noninterest income was $13.7 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $13.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2013 included nonrecurring income of $0.8 million of investment securities gains. Excluding this nonrecurring income, noninterest income in the first quarter of 2014 was $1.7 million lower than the first quarter of 2013, with the decrease largely attributable to lower mortgage banking revenue and related title insurance revenue, in addition to lower service charges and fees on deposit accounts. Mortgage banking revenue of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 was $1.2 million, or 61%, lower than the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in mortgage banking revenue in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2013, was primarily attributable to a decline in the volume of loans sold in the secondary market and related gains, due to the rising interest rate environment. The Corporation sold $21 million of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $69 million in the first quarter of 2013. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts were $0.3 million lower in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2013. Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2014 was $0.1 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2013, with the increase primarily attributable to increases of $0.3 million and $0.4 million in wealth management revenue and electronic banking revenue, respectively, which were partially offset by a $0.6 million decline in service charges and fees on deposit accounts.
Operating expenses of $42.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 were $0.2 million higher than the first quarter of 2013. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2014 included $0.3 million of nonrecurring transaction-related costs attributable to the pending acquisition of Northwestern Bancorp, Inc., while operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 included $0.8 million of nonrecurring fees associated with the Corporation's prepayment of its outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. Excluding nonrecurring costs and fees, operating expenses in the first quarter of 2014 were $0.7 million higher than the first quarter of 2013, with the increase attributable to an $0.8 million increase in employee compensation expense and a $0.7 million increase in occupancy expenses, which were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in credit-related expenses. The increase in employee compensation expense was partially due to merit increases that took effect at the beginning of 2014. The decrease in credit-related expenses was due to a combination of lower other real estate (ORE) properties held, and therefore lower ORE operating costs, and lower loan collection costs.

Operating expenses of $42.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 were $0.2 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases of $1.0 million in donations expense and $0.3 million in salaries and wages expense, which were partially offset by increases of $0.9 million in occupancy expenses, $0.3 million in credit-related expenses and $0.3 million of nonrecurring transaction-related costs. The decrease in donations expense was attributable to year-end 2013 commitments by the Corporation to the Chemical Bank Foundation.
The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 64.5% in the first quarter of 2014, 63.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 64.4% in the first quarter of 2013.
Total assets were $6.34 billion at March 31, 2014, compared to $6.18 billion at December 31, 2013 and $5.99 billion at March 31, 2013. The increase in total assets during the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 was largely attributable to an increase in deposits that was used to partially fund loan growth. The increase in total assets from year-end 2013 was largely due to $100 million of temporary funds received from one customer of Chemical Bank ($50 million in interest-bearing deposits and $50 million in customer repurchase agreements). The Corporation intends to maintain this $100 million of funds at the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). Investment securities have remained relatively stable and were $935.9 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $958.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $961.4 million at March 31, 2013.
Total loans were $4.75 billion at March 31, 2014, up from $4.65 billion at December 31, 2013 and $4.19 billion at March 31, 2013. During the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2014, total loans increased $105.7 million, or 2.3%, and $568.0 million, or 13.6%, respectively. The increases in loans during the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2014 generally occurred across all major loan categories and were largely attributable to a combination of improving economic conditions and increased market share. The increase in loans of $105.7 million during the first quarter of 2014 was primarily attributable to increases in commercial loans of $32.3 million, or 2.7%, commercial real estate loans of $46.5 million, or 3.8%, and consumer installment and home equity loans of $36.3 million, or 3.1%.
Total deposits were $5.23 billion at March 31, 2014, compared to $5.12 billion at December 31, 2013 and $5.01 billion at March 31, 2013. The increase in total deposits during the first quarter of 2014 was largely attributable to the $50 million in interest-bearing deposits from one customer, as previously discussed, and a seasonal increase in municipal customer deposits. Excluding this $50 million deposit, the Corporation experienced an increase in total deposits of $174 million, or 3.5%, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2014, with the increase attributable to organic deposit growth of $212 million that was partially offset by the payoff of maturing brokered deposits.
At March 31, 2014, the Corporation's tangible equity to assets ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.3% and 13.8%, respectively, compared to 9.4% and 14.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 8.1% and 13.3%, respectively, at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, the Corporation's book value was $23.63 per share, compared to $23.38 per share at December 31, 2013 and $21.97 per share at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, the Corporation's tangible book value was $19.44 per share, compared to $19.17 per share at December 31, 2013 and $17.34 per share at March 31, 2013.

Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "is likely," "judgment," "opinion," "plans," "predicts," "probable," "projects," "should," "trend," "will," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations and involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, statements related to future levels of loan charge-offs, future levels of provisions for loan losses, real estate valuation, future levels of nonperforming assets, the rate of asset dispositions, future capital levels, future dividends, future growth and funding sources, future liquidity levels, future profitability levels, future deposit insurance premiums, the effects on earnings of future changes in interest rates, the future level of other revenue sources, future economic trends and conditions, future initiatives to expand the Corporation's market share, expected performance and cash flows from acquired loans, future effects of new or changed accounting standards, future opportunities for acquisitions, opportunities to increase top line revenues, the Corporation's ability to grow its core franchise, future cost savings and the Corporation's ability to maintain adequate liquidity and capital based on the requirements adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and U.S. regulators. All statements referencing future time periods are forward-looking.
Management's determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses; the carrying value of acquired loans, goodwill and mortgage servicing rights; the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment); and management's assumptions concerning pension and other postretirement benefit plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. There can be no assurance that future loan losses will be limited to the amounts estimated. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. The future effect of changes in the financial and credit markets and the national and regional economies on the banking industry, generally, and on the Corporation, specifically, are also inherently uncertain. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("risk factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This report also contains forward-looking statements regarding the Corporation's outlook or expectations with respect to the planned acquisition of Northwestern Bancorp, Inc. (Northwestern), the expected costs to be incurred in connection with the acquisition, Northwestern’s future performance and consequences of its integration into the Corporation and the impact of the transaction on the Corporation’s future performance.
Risk factors relating to both the transaction and the integration of Northwestern into the Corporation after closing include, without limitation:
Completion of the transaction is dependent on, among other things, receipt of regulatory and Northwestern shareholder approvals, the timing of which cannot be predicted with precision at this point and which may not be received at all.
The impact of the completion of the transaction on the Corporation's financial statements will be affected by the timing of the transaction, including in particular the ability to complete the acquisition in the third quarter of 2014.
The transaction may be more expensive to complete and the anticipated benefits, including anticipated cost savings and strategic gains, may be significantly harder or take longer to achieve than expected or may not be achieved in their entirety as a result of unexpected factors or events.
The integration of Northwestern's business and operations into the Corporation, which will include conversion of Northwestern's operating systems and procedures, may take longer than anticipated or be more costly than anticipated or have unanticipated adverse results relating to Northwestern's or the Corporation's existing businesses.
The Corporation's ability to achieve anticipated results from the transaction is dependent on the state of the economic and financial markets going forward. Specifically, the Corporation may incur more credit losses from Northwestern’s loan portfolio than expected and deposit attrition may be greater than expected.
Risk factors also include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in Item 1A of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. These and other factors are representative of the risk factors that may emerge and could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.
