FIRST MIDWEST BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES
2015 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

ITASCA, IL, October 20, 2015 - First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "First Midwest") (NASDAQ NGS: FMBI), the holding company of First Midwest Bank (the "Bank"), today reported results of operations and financial condition for the third quarter of 2015. Net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $23.3 million, or $0.30 per share. This compares to $22.6 million, or $0.29 per share, for the second quarter of 2015, and $18.5 million, or $0.25 per share, for the third quarter of 2014.

Produced a return on average tangible common equity of 12%, up from 10% for the third quarter of 2014 and consistent with the second quarter of 2015.
Grew fee-based revenues to $33 million, an increase of 12% from the third quarter of 2014 and 5% from the second quarter of 2015.
Increased total loans, excluding covered loans, to nearly $7 billion, up 7% from September 30, 2014 and 5% annualized from June 30, 2015.

(1) Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%. This non-GAAP financial measure assists management in comparing revenue from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt items is recorded in income tax expense. These adjustments have no impact on net income.
(2) Includes loans acquired through Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")-assisted transactions subject to loss sharing agreements ("covered loans") and a related FDIC indemnification asset.
(3) See the deposit portfolio section for further average balance detail by category.
For the third quarter of 2015, total average interest-earning assets rose $239.8 million from the second quarter of 2015 driven by loan growth and an increase in lower yielding other interest-earning assets. Total average funding sources increased $208.1 million from the second quarter of 2015 as a result of seasonally higher levels of interest-bearing core deposits and demand deposits.

2



Compared to the third quarter of 2014, the $1.0 billion increase in total average interest-earning assets and the $976.3 million rise in total average funding sources reflect the impact of the acquisitions completed in the second half of 2014 and organic loan growth over the course of the year.
Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the current quarter was 3.58%, decreasing 18 basis points from the second quarter of 2015 and 14 basis points from the third quarter of 2014. Compared to the second quarter of 2015, the reduction in tax-equivalent net interest margin was due primarily to a decrease in acquired loan accretion, a seasonally higher balance of other interest-earning assets, the continued shift in the loan mix to floating rate loans, and the flattening of the yield curve. Tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased compared to the third quarter of 2014 due primarily to a rise in other interest-earning assets, lower accretion on covered loans, the continued shift in the loan mix, and the flattening of the yield curve, which were partially offset by greater accretion on acquired loans related to the 2014 acquisitions.
Acquired loan accretion related to the 2014 acquisitions contributed $1.8 million and $3.6 million to net interest income for the third and second quarters of 2015, respectively. This acquired loan accretion includes accelerated accretion on purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans of $556,000 and $1.7 million for the third and second quarters of 2015, respectively.

(1) Merchant servicing fees are substantially offset by merchant card expense included in noninterest expense for each period presented.
Total fee-based revenues of $33.1 million grew 4.9% compared to the second quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting normal seasonality. The 11.7% increase compared to the third quarter of 2014 primarily reflects organic growth across the majority of categories. In addition, the benefit from the 2014 acquisitions contributed to the increase.
Compared to the second quarter of 2015, the increase in service charges on deposit accounts was driven by seasonally higher activity. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts compared to the third quarter of 2014 also reflects services provided to customers added in the 2014 acquisitions. Continued sales of fiduciary and investment advisory services to new and existing customers drove the rise in wealth management fees compared to the third quarter of 2014.
Mortgage banking income resulted from sales of $42.2 million of 1-4 family mortgage loans in the secondary market during the third quarter of 2015, compared to $51.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $31.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. Compared to both prior periods presented, gains realized on the sale of leasing equipment contracts originated by First Midwest Equipment Finance, which was formed from an acquisition in September of 2014, drove the increase in other service charges, commissions, and fees. In addition, fee income generated from sales of capital market products to commercial clients contributed to the increase compared to both prior periods presented.
Total noninterest income of $35.0 million grew 3.0% and decreased 5.6% from the second quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2014, respectively. Other income was elevated during the second quarter of 2015 due to greater bank-owned life insurance income. The third quarter of 2014 total noninterest income reflects the net gains from the disposition of two branch properties and net securities gains.

(1) Merchant card expenses are substantially offset by merchant servicing fees included in noninterest income for each period presented.
(2) The efficiency ratio expresses noninterest expense, excluding OREO expense, as a percentage of tax-equivalent net interest income plus total fee-based revenues, other income, and tax-equivalent adjusted bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") income. In addition, acquisition and integration related expenses of $3.7 million are excluded from the efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2014. See the accompanying Non-GAAP Reconciliations for details on the calculation of the efficiency ratio.
Total noninterest expense increased 1.2% from the second quarter of 2015 and 5.8% from the third quarter of 2014. The increase from the second quarter of 2015 primarily reflects seasonal increases in benefits, as well as expenses associated with talent recruitment and organizational growth needs, including an independent cyber-risk assessment as a part of a targeted risk mitigation process.
The rise in total noninterest expense compared to the third quarter of 2014 was due primarily to operating costs of the 21 banking locations acquired during the second half of 2014, of which four have been closed. These costs primarily occurred within salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense, technology and related costs, and other expenses.

(1) Ratios are presented on an annualized basis.
Total loans, excluding covered loans, of $6.9 billion grew 4.8% on an annualized basis from June 30, 2015 and 6.9% from September 30, 2014. The loan growth from September 30, 2014 related to loans obtained in the 2014 acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and organic growth.
Compared to June 30, 2015, growth in corporate loans was concentrated within our commercial and industrial and agricultural loan categories. The increase in commercial and industrial loans primarily reflects the continued expansion into select sector-based lending areas such as healthcare, structured finance, and leasing. Agricultural loans grew due to seasonal draws on lines of credit and new relationships. The overall decline in commercial real estate loans resulted from the decision of certain customers to opportunistically sell their middle market businesses and investment real estate properties, which more than offset organic growth. The rise in consumer loans reflects the purchase of high quality, shorter-duration, floating rate home equity loans and the expansion of our web-based installment lending program.

(1) Acquired loans are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date with no allowance for credit losses being established. Included within total loans are loans acquired during 2014 which totaled $545.9 million at September 30, 2015, $587.0 million at June 30, 2015, and $533.2 million at September 30, 2014. These loans have an allowance for loan losses of $1.2 million at September 30, 2015 and $821,000 at June 30, 2015. In addition, there was a remaining acquisition adjustment of $15.5 million at September 30, 2015, $17.5 million at June 30, 2015, and $13.6 million at September 30, 2014. This acquisition adjustment represents the difference between the contractual loan balances and the carrying value of these loans.

Asset quality continued to improve across all metrics. Total non-performing assets, excluding covered loans and covered OREO, decreased by $4.5 million, or 6.0%, from June 30, 2015 and $34.4 million, or 32.7%, from September 30, 2014.

(1) Amounts presented are average balances.

Average core deposits of $7.1 billion for the third quarter of 2015 increased 3.3% and 15.6% compared to the second quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2014, respectively. The rise in average core deposits compared to the second quarter of 2015 resulted primarily from a seasonal increase in average municipal deposits of $221.9 million. Compared to the third quarter of 2014, the rise was due primarily to the full impact of deposits assumed in the acquisitions completed during the second half of 2014, which further strengthened the Company's core deposit base.

N/A - Not applicable.

(1) Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015. These rules revise the risk-based capital requirements and introduce a new capital measure, Tier 1 common capital to risk-weighted assets. As a result, ratios subsequent to December 31, 2014 are computed using the new rules and prior periods presented are reported using the regulatory guidance applicable at that time.
(2) Ratio is not subject to formal Federal Reserve regulatory guidance.
(3) Tangible common equity ("TCE") represents common stockholders' equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. In management's view, Tier 1 common capital and TCE measures are meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with competitors. See the accompanying Non-GAAP Reconciliations for details of the calculation of these ratios.
The Company's capital ratios increased from June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 driven primarily by growth in retained earnings partially offset by an increase in assets.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share during the third quarter of 2015, which is consistent with the second quarter of 2015 and follows a dividend increase from $0.08 to $0.09 per common share during the first quarter of 2015.

This press release may contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "might," "will," "would," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "probable," "potential," "possible," "target," or "continue" and words of similar import. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead express only management's beliefs regarding future results or events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of management's control. It is possible that actual results and events may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results or events indicated in these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution you not to place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this press release, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release to reflect new information or events or conditions after the date hereof.
Forward-looking statements may be deemed to include, among other things, statements relating to our future financial performance, the performance of our loan or securities portfolio, the expected amount of future credit reserves or charge-offs, corporate strategies or objectives, anticipated trends in our business, regulatory developments, acquisition transactions, including estimated synergies, cost savings and financial benefits of pending or consummated transactions, including First Midwest's proposed acquisition of The Peoples' Bank of Arlington Heights, and growth strategies, including possible future acquisitions. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. For a discussion of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should refer to the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as our subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and general practice within the banking industry.

Although intended to enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. See the following reconciliations for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.

Annualized based on the actual number of days for each period presented.
(2) 
Tax equivalent basis reflects federal and state tax benefits.
(3) 
Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015. These rules revise the risk-based capital requirements and introduce a new capital measure,
Tier 1 common capital to risk weighted assets. As a result, ratios subsequent to December 31, 2014 are computed using the new rules and prior periods presented are
reported using the regulatory guidance applicable at that time.
(4) 
Excludes covered loans and covered OREO.
(5) 
Acquired loans are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date with no allowance for credit losses being established. Included within total loans are loans acquired
during 2014 which totaled $545.9 million at September 30, 2015, $587.0 million at June 30, 2015, $660.9 million at March 31, 2015, $718.3 million at December 31,
2014, and $533.2 million at September 30, 2014. These loans have an allowance for loan losses of $1.2 million at September 30, 2015 and $821,000 at June 30, 2015.
In addition, there was a remaining acquisition adjustment of $15.5 million at September 30, 2015, $17.5 million at June 30, 2015, $22.4 million at March 31, 2015, $24.7
million at December 31, 2014, and $13.6 million at September 30, 2014. This acquisition adjustment represents the difference between the contractual loan balances and
the carrying value of these loans.
