INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS
2018 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 26, 2018 - Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) reported second quarter 2018 net income of $8.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, versus net income of $5.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.  For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported net income of $18.0 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.9 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.  The increases in second quarter and year to date 2018 earnings as compared to 2017 primarily reflect increases in net interest income and in non-interest income and a decrease in income tax expense that were partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and in non-interest expense.

Significant items impacting comparable quarterly and year to date 2018 and 2017 results include the following:


·
The acquisition of TCSB Bancorp, Inc. (“TCSB”), and its subsidiary, Traverse City State Bank, on Apr. 1, 2018 (the “Merger”) and the associated data processing systems conversions in June 2018.  The total assets, loans and deposits acquired in the Merger were approximately $342.8 million, $295.8 million (including $1.3 million of loans held for sale) and $287.7 million, respectively.

·
Merger related expenses of $3.1 million ($0.10 per diluted share, after taxes) and $3.3 million ($0.11 per diluted share, after taxes) for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

·
Positive changes in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights of $0.5 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after taxes) and $2.0 million ($0.07 per diluted share, after taxes) for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to negative changes of $0.6 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after taxes) and $0.5 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after taxes) for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

·
The passage of the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" which, among other things, reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% (from 35%) effective January 1, 2018.

Second quarter 2018 highlights include:


·
Year-over-year increases in net income and diluted earnings per share of 48.7% and 33.3%, respectively;

·
A year-over-year increase in quarterly net interest income of $7.5 million, or 34.8%;

·
Total portfolio loan net growth of $101.4 million, or 19.6% annualized, excluding $294.5 million of TCSB loans acquired in the Merger;

·
Continued strong asset quality metrics; and

·
The payment of a 15 cent per share dividend on common stock on May 15, 2018.

William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “We are pleased to report another quarter of solid financial performance.  Excluding the impact of Merger related expenses and the positive fair value change in the price of our capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights, our second quarter 2018 results exceeded our expectations.  The favorable impact of the TCSB acquisition combined with strong loan origination activity led to significant loan growth and increased net interest income.  We successfully completed the TCSB data processing conversions in June 2018, and are on-track to realize our projected cost savings of approximately $0.9 million per quarter beginning in the third quarter of this year.  As we look ahead to the remainder of 2018 and beyond, we are focused on building on the momentum generated in the first half of 2018.”

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest income totaled $29.0 million during the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $7.5 million, or 34.8% from the year-ago period, and up $5.0 million, or 21.1%, from the first quarter of 2018.  The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.93% during the second quarter of 2018, compared to 3.60% in the year-ago period, and 3.71% in the first quarter of 2018.  The year-over-year quarterly increase in net interest income is due to increases in both average interest-earning assets and in the net interest margin.  Average interest-earning assets were $2.96 billion in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $2.42 billion in the year ago quarter and $2.61 billion in the first quarter of 2018.  Second quarter 2018 interest income on loans includes $0.6 million of accretion of the discount recorded on the TCSB loans acquired in the Merger.  The total discount initially recorded on the TCSB loans acquired in the Merger was $6.5 million (or approximately 2.2% of the total TCSB loans acquired in the Merger).

For the first six months of 2018, net interest income totaled $52.9 million, an increase of $10.0 million, or 23.2% from the first half of 2017.  The Company’s net interest margin for the first six months of 2018 was 3.83% compared to 3.65% in 2017.  The increase in net interest income for the first six months of 2018 is due to increases in both average interest-earning assets and in the net interest margin.

Non-interest income totaled $12.3 million and $24.0 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 2018, compared to $10.4 million and $20.8 million in the respective comparable year ago periods.  These increases were primarily due to growth in mortgage loan servicing income, net.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”) on Jan. 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach.  Although ASU 2014-09 did not have any impact on Jan. 1, 2018 shareholders’ equity or 2018 net income, it did result in some classification changes in non-interest income and non-interest expense as compared to the prior year period.  Specifically, in the second quarter and first six months of 2018, interchange income and interchange expense each increased by $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, due to classification changes under ASU 2014-09.

Net gains on mortgage loans were approximately $3.3 million in both the second quarters of 2018 and 2017.  For the first six months of 2018, net gains on mortgage loans totaled $5.8 million compared to $5.9 million in 2017.  An increase in mortgage loan sales volume in 2018 was offset by margin compression due principally to competitive factors.

Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income of $1.2 million and a loss of $0.2 million in the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the first six months of 2018, mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income of $3.5 million as compared to income of $0.7 million in 2017. This activity is summarized in the following table:

Non-interest expenses totaled $29.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $22.8 million in the year-ago period.  For the first six months of 2018, non-interest expenses totaled $53.9 million versus $46.3 million in 2017.  These year-over-year increases in non-interest expense are primarily due to the TCSB acquisition (including the aforementioned Merger related expenses) as well as higher performance based compensation and health insurance costs.

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.1 million and $4.1 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2018, respectively.  This compares to an income tax expense of $2.7 million and $5.3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively.  The decline in income tax expense is primarily due to a reduction in the statutory federal corporate income tax rate to 21% (from 35%) that became effective on Jan. 1, 2018.

Asset Quality

Commenting on asset quality, President and CEO Kessel added:  “Non-performing loans and assets as well as loan net charge-offs remain at low levels.  In addition, thirty- to eighty-nine day delinquency rates at June 30, 2018 were 0.04% for commercial loans and 0.42% for mortgage and consumer loans.  These early stage delinquency rates continue to be well-managed.”

Excludes loans that are classified as “troubled debt restructured” that are still performing.

Non-performing loans have increased $0.9 million from Dec. 31, 2017.  This increase primarily reflects a rise in non-performing commercial loans.  ORE and repossessed assets totaled $1.7 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $1.6 million at Dec. 31, 2017.

The provision for loan losses was an expense of $0.7 million and $0.6 million in the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The provision for loan losses was an expense of $1.0 million and $0.2 million in the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. 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 growth, loan mix, levels of non-performing and classified loans and loan net charge-offs.  The Company recorded loan net charge-offs of $0.2 million and $0.04 million in the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively.  For the first six months of 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded loan net charge-offs of $0.05 million and loan net recoveries of $0.1 million, respectively.  At June 30, 2018, the allowance for loan losses totaled $23.5 million, or 0.95% of total portfolio loans, compared to $22.6 million, or 1.12% of total portfolio loans, at Dec. 31, 2017.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital

Total assets were $3.23 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $445.2 million from Dec. 31, 2017, primarily reflecting the impact of the Merger as well as loan growth.  Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $2.47 billion at June 30, 2018, compared to $2.02 billion at Dec. 31, 2017.

Deposits totaled $2.78 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $380.0 million from Dec. 31, 2017.  The increase in deposits is primarily due to the Merger and growth in brokered time deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $58.7 million at June 30, 2018, versus $54.7 million at Dec. 31, 2017. Securities available for sale totaled $450.6 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $522.9 million at Dec. 31, 2017.

The Company recorded $29.0 million of goodwill, a core deposit intangible (“CDI”) of $5.8 million and discounts of $6.5 million, $0.4 million and $1.5 million on loans, time deposits and borrowings (including subordinated debentures), respectively, related to the Merger.  These adjustments reflect the preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger.  The goodwill will be periodically tested for impairment, and the CDI will be amortized over a ten year period ($0.2 million of amortization for this CDI was recorded in the second quarter of 2018).  The discounts will be accreted based on the lives of the related assets or liabilities.

Total shareholders’ equity was $337.1 million at June 30, 2018, or 10.42% of total assets.  Tangible common equity totaled $301.1 million at June 30, 2018, or $12.47 per share.  The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:
