Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

(1)   Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is written with the presumption that the users of the interim financial statements have read or have access to the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K of TCF Financial Corporation (“TCF” or the “Company”), which contains the latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.  For Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow purposes, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks.

The investments in FHLB stock are required investments related to TCF’s borrowings from these banks.  All new FHLB borrowing activity is done with the FHLB of Des Moines. FHLBs obtain their funding primarily through issuance of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.  The U.S. Government does not guarantee these obligations, and each of the 12 FHLBs are jointly and severally liable for re-payment of each others debt.  Therefore, TCF’s investments in these banks could be adversely impacted by the operations of the other FHLBs.

Included in the direct financing leases are $40.3 million and $38.5 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, of equipment that has been installed under lease contracts that have not yet commenced due to additional equipment pending installation under the lease.  TCF receives pro-rata rent payments for the interim period until the lease contract commences and the fixed, non-cancelable lease term begins.  TCF recognizes these interim payments in the month they are earned and records the income in interest income on direct finance leases.

 

Lease residuals represent the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the expiration of the initial term of the transaction and are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Any downward revisions are recorded in the periods in which they become known.  At March 31, 2005, lease residuals, excluding leveraged lease residuals, totaled $34.5 million, and were $35.2 million at December 31, 2004.  The lease residuals on the leveraged lease are included in the investment in leveraged lease and represent a 100% equity interest in a Boeing 767-300 aircraft leased to Delta Airlines, Inc. (“Delta”).  The investment in leveraged lease represents net unpaid rentals and estimated unguaranteed residual values of the leased assets less related unearned income.  TCF has no obligation for principal and interest on the notes representing the third-party participation related to this leveraged lease.  However, these noteholders have a security interest in the aircraft which is superior to TCF’s equity interest.  Such notes, which totaled $15.6 million at March 31, 2005, down from $19.2 million at December 31, 2004, are recorded as an offset against the related rental receivable.  In 2004, TCF downgraded its credit rating on the aircraft leveraged lease, classified its investment as substandard and placed the lease on non-accrual status.  Although Delta is current on its payments related to this transaction, if Delta declares bankruptcy, it would likely result in the charge-off of TCF’s $18.8 million investment in the leveraged lease and the current payment of previously deferred income tax obligations.  TCF has established a reserve for 50% of the investment in the leveraged lease related to Delta.  This lease represents TCF’s only material direct exposure to the commercial

airline industry.  Reduced airline travel, higher fuel costs, changes in airline fare structures, and other factors have adversely impacted the airline industry and could have an adverse impact on Delta’s ability to meet its lease obligations and on the residual value of the aircraft.

Included in long-term borrowings at March 31, 2005 were $567.5 million of fixed-rate FHLB advances and $200 million of repurchase agreements with other institutions, which are callable quarterly at par until maturity.  If the FHLB advances are called, replacement funding will be provided by the FHLB at the then-prevailing market rate of interest for the remaining term-to-maturity, subject to standard terms and conditions.  The probability that these advances and repurchase agreements will be called depends primarily on the level of related interest rates during the call period.  At March 31, 2005, the contract rate exceeded the market rate on all of the fixed-rate callable advances and repurchase agreements.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, TCF National Bank (“TCF Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCF, issued $50 million of subordinated notes due 2015.  The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% for the first five years and will reprice quarterly thereafter at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.56%. These subordinated notes may be redeemed by TCF Bank at par after five years and qualify as Tier 2 or supplementary capital for regulatory purposes, subject to certain limitations.  TCF Bank paid the proceeds from the offering to TCF to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include repurchases in the open market of TCF common stock.

 

TCF Financial Corporation (parent company only) has a $105 million line of credit maturing in April 2005, which is unsecured and contains certain covenants common to such agreements.  TCF is not in default with respect to any of its covenants under the credit agreement.  The interest rate on the line of credit is based on either the prime rate or LIBOR.  TCF has the option to select the interest rate index and term for advances on the line of credit.  The line of credit may be used for appropriate corporate purposes.  At March 31, 2005, TCF had $26.5 million outstanding on this bank line of credit.  This line of credit was renewed with the existing terms for a period of 364 days on April 19, 2005.

TCF purchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2005, compared with 26,890 shares for the same 2004 period.  At March 31, 2005, TCF had 1.7 million shares remaining in its stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors.  The decrease in shares held in trust for deferred compensation plans from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005 was due to elections by certain executives and senior management to un-defer previously deferred compensation, as allowed under the new Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  The increase in unamortized stock compensation is primarily due to a one-time performance-based restricted stock award of 300,000 shares of TCF common stock to TCF’s Chairman.

TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Item 2. –  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operations

 

OVERVIEW

 

TCF Financial Corporation, (“TCF” or the “Company”), is a national financial holding company located in Wayzata, Minnesota.  Its principal subsidiary, TCF National Bank, (“TCF Bank”), is headquartered in Minnesota and had ­­­430 banking offices in Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado and Indiana at March 31, 2005.

 

TCF provides convenient financial services through multiple channels to customers located primarily in the Midwest.  TCF has developed products and services designed to meet the needs of all consumers.  The Company focuses on attracting and retaining customers through service and convenience, including branches that are open seven days a week and on most holidays, extensive full-service supermarket branch and automated teller machine (“ATM”) networks, and telephone and Internet banking.  TCF’s philosophy is to generate net interest income and fees and other revenue through business lines that emphasize higher yielding assets and lower or no interest-cost deposits.  The Company’s growth strategies include new branch expansion and the development of new products and services.  New products and services are designed to build on existing businesses and expand into complementary products and services through strategic initiatives.

 

TCF’s core businesses are comprised of traditional and supermarket bank branches, campus banking, EXPRESS TELLER® ATMs, Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa”) debit cards, commercial banking, small business banking, consumer lending, leasing and equipment finance, investment, securities brokerage and insurance services.  TCF emphasizes the checking account as its anchor account, which provides opportunities to cross-sell other convenience products and services and generate additional fee income.   During the first quarter of 2005, TCF generated 131,677 new checking accounts and closed 107,922 accounts, or 28%, of the checking accounts existing at the beginning of the quarter, up from 26% for the same period in 2004.   TCF’s management monitors the opening and closing of accounts and is pursuing opportunities to reduce account attrition to further increase the growth in checking accounts.  The continued growth in checking accounts is a significant part of TCF’s growth strategy.

 

At March 31, 2005, 258, or 60%, of TCF’s 430 branches were opened since January 1, 1998 and consist of 59 traditional branches, 197 supermarket branches and two campus branches.  Opening new branches is an integral part of TCF’s growth strategy for generating new deposit accounts and the related revenue that is associated with the accounts and other products.  New branches typically produce net losses during the first 24-36 months of operations before they become profitable, and therefore the level and timing of new branch expansion can have a significant impact on TCF’s profitability.  TCF’s growth in checking accounts is primarily occurring in new branches with growth in older, mature branches being slower.  The success of TCF’s branch expansion is dependent on the continued long-term success and viability of branch banking.  Success in supermarket branches is also dependent on the success and viability of the supermarket branch locations.  Economic slowdowns, financial or labor difficulties and competitive pressures may have an adverse impact on the supermarket industry and therefore reduce customer activity in TCF’s supermarket branches.  TCF is subject to the risk, among others, that its license for its supermarket branches will terminate in connection with the sale or closure of a store by a supermarket chain.

 

TCF’s lending strategy is to originate high credit quality, primarily secured, loans and leases.  Commercial loans are generally made on local properties or to local customers.  TCF’s largest core lending business is its consumer home equity loan operation, which offers fixed- and variable-rate loans and lines of credit secured by residential real estate properties.  The leasing and equipment finance businesses consist of Winthrop Resources Corporation (“Winthrop”), a leasing company that primarily leases technology and data processing equipment, and TCF Equipment Finance, Inc. (“TCF Equipment Finance”), a company that delivers equipment finance solutions to businesses in select markets.  TCF’s leasing and equipment finance businesses operate in all 50 states.

 

18



 

As a primarily secured lender, TCF emphasizes credit quality over asset growth.  As a result, TCF’s credit losses are generally lower than those experienced by other banks.  The allowance for loan and lease losses, while generally lower as a percent of loans and leases than the average in the banking industry, reflects the lower historical charge-offs and management’s expectation of the risk of loss inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.  See “Consolidated Financial Condition Analysis–Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.”

 

Net interest income, the difference between interest income earned on loans, leases and investments and interest expense paid on deposits and short-term and long-term borrowings, represents 53.5% of TCF’s total revenue. Net interest income can change significantly from period to period based on general levels of interest rates, customer prepayment patterns, the mix of interest earning assets and the mix of interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposits and borrowings.  TCF manages the risk of changes in interest rates on its net interest income through an Asset/Liability Committee and through related interest rate risk monitoring and management policies.  See “Market Risk – Interest-Rate Risk” for further discussion of TCF’s interest rate risk position.

 

The Company’s Visa debit card program has grown significantly since its inception in 1996.  TCF is one of the largest issuers of Visa Classic debit cards in the United States.  TCF earns interchange revenue from customer debit card transactions.  During the first quarter of 2005, 89.2% of TCF’s debit card sales volume was generated from off-line (signature-based) transactions.  The average interchange rate on these off-line transactions was 1.39% for the first quarter of 2005 compared with 1.33% for the first quarter of 2004.  Litigation against Visa brought by certain merchants who chose not to participate in the 2003 settlements of class action lawsuits against Visa remains pending.  In October 2004, the United States Supreme Court decided not to hear an appeal of a ruling that Visa and MasterCard may not bar member banks from issuing cards on rival networks.  Rival card networks, such as Discover and American Express, have brought or are considering bringing private legal action against Visa and MasterCard.  Visa is a defendant in several other legal actions.  The ultimate impact of any such litigation cannot be predicted at this time.  The continued success of TCF’s debit card program is dependent on the success and viability of Visa and the continued use by customers and acceptance by merchants of its debit cards.

 

The following portions of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis focus in more detail on the results of operations for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 and on information about TCF’s balance sheet, credit quality, liquidity and funding resources, capital and other matters.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Performance Summary

 

TCF reported diluted earnings per common share of 47 cents for the first quarter of 2005, compared with 44 cents for the first quarter of 2004.  Net income was $63.5 million for the first quarter of 2005, up from $60.7 million for the first quarter of 2004. For the first quarter of 2005, return on average assets was 2.03%, compared with 2.11% for the first quarter of 2004, and return on average common equity was 27.18%, up from 25.90% for the same 2004 period.

 

Operating Segment Results

 

See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the financial results of TCF’s operating segments.

 

BANKING, comprised of deposits and investment products, commercial banking, small business banking, consumer lending, residential lending and treasury services, reported net income of $53.2 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $51.7 million for the same 2004 period.  Banking net interest income for the first quarter of 2005 was $112.9 million, compared with $103.8 million for the same 2004 period.  The provision for credit losses was a net credit of $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with a provision expense of $776 thousand for the same 2004 period.  The provision for credit losses for the first quarter reflects improved credit quality including $3.3 million related to one commercial business loan recovery, a $1.2 million reduction in consumer home equity and other loan reserve requirements due to improving credit quality and a $1.5 million reduction in specific loan reserves due to improvements in individual circumstances, partially offset by $2.6

million in additional reserve requirements for credit risk related to portfolio growth and other changes. Non-interest income totaled $100.2 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $101.3 million for the same 2004 period.  During the first quarter of 2005, TCF sold mortgage-backed securities and realized gains of $5.2 million, compared with gains on sales of securities of $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2004. See “Results of Operations – Consolidated Non-Interest Income” for further discussion on the sales of mortgage-backed securities.  Also, in the first quarter of 2005, TCF sold its main office in Ann Arbor, Michigan and recognized a gain of $5.5 million.  In addition to the gains and losses discussed above, fees, service charges, card and other revenues were $87.3 million for the first quarter of 2005, up from $86.6 million for the same period of 2004.  The increase was driven by a $4.2 million increase in card revenues, which was attributable to a 19.2% increase in sales volume coupled with a six basis point increase in the average off-line interchange rate.  Banking non-interest expense was $136.4 million for the first quarter of 2005, up 8.3% from $125.9 million for the same 2004 period.  The increase was primarily due to costs associated with new branch expansion.

 

TCF had 430 branches, including 248 full service supermarkets branches at March 31, 2005.  During the first quarter of 2005, TCF opened one new traditional branch.  Since January 1, 1998, TCF has opened 258 new branches. TCF plans to open ­­29 more new branches in the remainder of 2005, consisting of 20 traditional branches, seven supermarket branches and two campus branches.  See “Consolidated Financial Condition Analysis – New Branch Expansion” for further information.

 

LEASING AND EQUIPMENT FINANCE, an operating segment comprised of TCF’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Winthrop and TCF Equipment Finance, provides a broad range of comprehensive lease and equipment finance products. Leasing and Equipment Finance reported net income of $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2005, up from $8.4 million for the same 2004 period.  Net interest income for the first quarter of 2005 was $14.7 million, up from $12.5 million the same 2004 period.  The provision for credit losses for this operating segment totaled $752 thousand for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $384 thousand for the same period in 2004.  Non-interest income totaled $10.8 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2004.  Leasing and Equipment Finance revenues may fluctuate from period to period based on customer driven factors not entirely within the control of TCF.  Non-interest expense totaled $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2005, up from $9.4 million for the same 2004 period, primarily related to an increase in operating lease depreciation expense.

 

Consolidated Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2005 was $129.1 million, up from $118.5 million for the first quarter of 2004 and $126.5 million for the 2004 fourth quarter.  The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2005 was 4.56%, compared with 4.52% for the same 2004 period and 4.56% for the fourth quarter of 2004.  The increase in net interest income from the first quarter of 2004 primarily reflects the growth in average consumer, commercial real estate and leasing and equipment finance balances, up $1.2 billion over the first quarter of 2004, coupled with the favorable impact of the increases in short-term interest rates, partially offset by reductions in residential real estate loans, decreased rates on fixed-rate assets and a flatter yield curve.

Achieving net interest income growth over time is dependent on TCF’s ability to generate higher-yielding assets and lower-cost retail deposits. The net impact of the changes in interest-bearing assets and deposits and borrowings has positioned TCF to be more asset sensitive (i.e. more assets than liabilities will be maturing, repricing, or prepaying during the next twelve months).  Although this positive gap position may benefit TCF in a rising rate environment, if interest rates remain at current levels or fall further, the net interest margin may compress and net interest income may decline.  An increase in interest rates would affect TCF’s fixed-rate/variable-rate product origination mix and would extend the estimated life of its residential real estate loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and may change the mix of deposits.  A change in origination mix and/or the extending of the estimated life of mortgage-related assets may have an adverse impact on future net interest income or net interest margin as fixed-rate assets are funded with interest-bearing liabilities with increasing rates.  Competition for checking, savings and money market deposits, important sources of lower-cost funds for TCF, is intense.  A decline in these low-cost deposits may have an adverse impact on future net interest income or net interest margin as TCF would need to replace these funds with short- or long-term borrowings which may have a higher interest cost.  See “Consolidated Financial Condition Analysis – Deposits” and “Market Risk – Interest-Rate Risk” for further discussion on TCF’s interest rate risk position.

 

Consolidated Provision for Credit Losses

 

TCF recorded a provision credit of $3.4 million for credit losses in the first quarter of 2005, compared with provision expense of $1.2 million for the same period in 2004.  The provision for credit losses for the first quarter reflects improved credit quality including $3.3 million related to one commercial business loan recovery, a $1.2 million reduction in consumer home equity and other loan reserve requirements due to improving credit quality and a $1.5 million reduction in specific loan reserves due to improvements in individual circumstances, partially offset by $2.6 million in additional reserve requirements for credit risk related to portfolio growth and other changes.  Net loan and lease recoveries were $441 thousand, or .02% (annualized) of average loans and leases, in the first quarter of 2005, compared with net charge offs of $516 thousand, or .02% (annualized) of average loans and leases for the same 2004 period.  The provision for credit losses is calculated as part of the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses.  The determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the related provision for credit losses is a critical accounting estimate which involves a number of factors such as net charge-offs, delinquencies in the loan and lease portfolio, value of collateral, general economic conditions and management’s assessment of credit risk in the current loan and lease portfolio.  Also see “Consolidated Financial Condition Analysis – Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.”

 

Consolidated Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income is a significant source of revenue for TCF and is an important factor in TCF’s results of operations.  Providing a wide range of retail banking services is an integral component of TCF’s business philosophy and a major strategy for generating additional non-interest income.  Total non-interest income was $112.1 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $115.2 million for the same period in 2004.  Banking fees and other revenue increased $649 thousand over the first quarter of 2004.  Fees and service charges decreased $2.6 million from the first quarter of 2004, primarily due to lower deposit account service fees.  Card revenues totaled $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2005, up 30.8% over the same period of 2004.  The increase was attributable to a 19.2% increase in sales volume coupled with a six basis point increase in the average off-line interchange rate.  Leasing and equipment finance revenues were $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2005, up $526 thousand from the first quarter of 2004.  The increase is primarily the result of increases in operating lease revenues and other transaction fees, partially offset by a $1 million decrease in sales-type lease revenues.  During the first quarter of 2005, TCF took advantage of market conditions and sold $466 million of mortgage-backed securities and realized gains of $5.2 million, compared with $854 million in sales and $12.7 million of gains for the first quarter of 2004. Other revenue in the first quarter of 2005 includes a gain of $5.5 million recognized on the sale of TCF’s main office facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  TCF continues to occupy this office space under a short-term lease while it considers its relocation alternatives.

 

23



 

Fees and Service Charges

 

Fees and service charges decreased $2.6 million, or 4.4%, to $57 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $59.7 million for the same period of 2004. This decrease primarily reflects a decrease in deposit account service fees, attributable to changing customer behavior including increased use of debit cards and other electronic transactions and less use of checks and the availability of account information via the telephone and Internet to better manage their finances.  TCF’s checking account customer base increased 23,755 accounts, or 6.2% (annualized), in the first quarter of 2005 to 1,558,907 accounts and was up 86,292 accounts, or 5.9%, from the first quarter of 2004.

 

In February 2005, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency and other banking regulatory agencies issued joint agency guidance on overdrafts and overdraft protection programs.  The guidance primarily addresses concerns about marketing, disclosure and implementation of overdraft protection programs.  TCF does not offer overdraft protection programs for which this guidance is primarily directed.  However, TCF is implementing certain relevant best practices which are described in the joint agency guidance and is continuing to evaluate this guidance.

 

Card Revenue

 

For the first quarter of 2005, card revenue, primarily interchange fees, totaled $17.6 million, up $4.2 million, or 30.8%, from the first quarter of 2004. The increase in card revenue for the first quarter of 2005 was due to a 19.2% increase in sales volume coupled with a six basis point increase in the average off-line interchange rate during the period.  Interchange fees have been adversely impacted as a result of the settlement of litigation against Visa in the second quarter of 2003.  As part of the settlement, Visa lowered interchange rates on debit cards for certain merchants from August 2003 through February 2004.  Additionally, as part of the settlement, Visa established new interchange rates for debit cards, which took effect in February 2004.  These rates increased from the rate established August 1, 2003; however, overall these new rates remained below the rates which were in effect prior to August 2003.

ATM Revenue

 

For the first quarter of 2005, ATM revenue was $9.7 million, down slightly from $10 million for the same period of 2004.  The decline in ATM revenue in the first quarter of 2005 was attributable to declines in utilization of TCF’s ATM machines by non-customers.  At March 31, 2005, TCF had ­1,153 EXPRESS TELLERÒ ATM machines, compared with 1,147 machines at March 31, 2004.

Leasing and Equipment Finance Revenue

 

Leasing and equipment finance revenues totaled $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $10.2 million for the same 2004 period.  The increase in leasing and equipment finance revenues for the first quarter of 2005, compared with 2004 is primarily the result of increases in operating lease revenues and other transaction fees, partially offset by a $1 million decrease in sales-type revenues.  Sales-type revenues generally occur at or near the end of the lease term as customers extend the lease or purchase the underlying equipment.  Leasing and equipment finance revenues may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on customer-driven factors not entirely within the control of TCF.

During the second half of 2004, TCF restructured its mortgage banking business by eliminating the wholesale loan origination activities and downsizing and integrating its retail loan origination function with TCF’s consumer lending business.  TCF’s mortgage banking business no longer originates any new loans and continues to service the remaining $4.3 billion portfolio of mortgage loans for third party investors.  TCF no longer sells loans to the secondary market.  As a result, there are no gains on sales of loans in the first quarter of 2005.

 

Mortgage banking revenue decreased $2.3 million and was $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with $3.5 million for the same 2004 period.  The decrease in mortgage banking revenue was primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in gains on sales of loans as a result of the above-mentioned restructuring of TCF’s mortgage banking operations.

Mortgage servicing revenues can be significantly impacted by the amount of amortization and provision for impairment of mortgage servicing rights.  The valuation of mortgage servicing rights is a critical accounting estimate for TCF.  This estimate is based upon loan types, note rates and prepayment assumptions.  Changes in the mix of loans, interest rates, defaults or prepayment speeds may have a material effect on the amortization amount and possible impairment in valuation.  In a declining interest rate environment, prepayment speed assumptions will increase and result in an acceleration in the amortization of the mortgage servicing rights as the assumed underlying portfolio declines and also may result in impairment as the value of the mortgage servicing rights decline. TCF periodically evaluates its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment.  A key component in determining the fair value of mortgage servicing rights is the projected cash flows of the underlying loan portfolio.  TCF uses projected cash flows and related prepayment assumptions based on management’s best estimates. The annualized prepayment rate on the third party servicing portfolio was 16.3% in the first quarter of 2005, compared with 22.5% for the same period in 2004.  See Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning TCF’s mortgage servicing rights.

 

The following tables summarize the servicing portfolio by interest rate tranche, the prepayment speed assumptions and the weighted average remaining life of the loans by interest tranche used in the determination of the value and amortization of mortgage servicing rights as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

These sensitivities are theoretical and should be used with caution.  As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a given variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear.  Also, in the above table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated independently without changing any other assumptions.  In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, changes in prepayment speed estimates could result in changes in discount rates or market interest rates), which might either magnify or counteract the sensitivities.  TCF does not use derivatives to hedge its mortgage servicing rights asset.

 

Other Non-Interest Income

 

In the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, gains on sales of securities available for sale of $5.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively, were recognized on sales of mortgage-backed securities of $466 million and $854 million, respectively.  During the first quarter of 2005, TCF sold its main office facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan and recognized a gain of $5.5 million.  TCF continues to occupy this office space under a short-term lease while it considers its relocation alternatives.

Consolidated Non-Interest Expense

 

Non-interest expense totaled $148.1 million for the first quarter of 2005, up 5.3%, from $140.7 million for the same 2004 period.  Compensation and employee benefits expense totaled $81.5 million for the first quarter of 2005, up from $78.9 million for the same 2004 period.   Compensation expense for the first quarter of 2005 was $66.9 million, up from $64.7 million for the same 2004 period.  The increase was primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in the banking segment of which $1.2 million related to salary expense attributable to new branches opened during the past 12 months, partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease for mortgage banking.  Employee benefits for the first quarter of 2005 were $14.6 million, up from $14.2 million for the same 2004 period. The increase was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in retirement expenses and payroll taxes, partially offset by a $793 thousand decrease in health plan expenses.  Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $25.4 million for the first quarter of 2005, up $1.9 million from the same 2004 period, primarily related to costs associated with new branch expansion. Deposit losses decreased $517 thousand for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same 2004 period, primarily due to increased customer restitution from improved collection and customer retention activities. Deposit losses include a variety of losses related to deposit taking activities including overdrafts, external fraud and forgery and other deposit processing losses.  Deposit losses also include restitution received from customers, net of any related outside collection agency fees. Other non-interest expense totaled $31.4 million for the first quarter of 2005, reflecting an increase of 11.1% from $28.2 million for the same period in 2004.  The increase in other non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2005 is primarily related to a $1.2 million increase in card processing expenses related to the overall increase in card revenues, and a $1.1 million increase in operating lease depreciation expense in the leasing businesses.

 

Income Taxes

 

TCF recorded income tax expense of $33.1 million for the first quarter of 2005, or 34.25% of income before income tax expense, compared with $31.1 million or 33.92% of income before income tax expense, for the comparable 2004 period.  The higher effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004 is primarily due to higher state and local income taxes.

 

TCF has a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) and a related foreign operating company that acquire, hold and manage mortgage assets and other authorized investments to generate income.  These companies are consolidated with TCF National Bank and are therefore included in the consolidated financial statements of TCF Financial Corporation.  The REIT and related companies must meet specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and state tax laws.  If these companies fail to meet any of the required provisions of Federal and state tax laws, TCF’s tax expense could increase.  TCF’s related companies have included companies that operate under provisions of the laws in certain states in which TCF operates (including Minnesota and Illinois) that allow deductions for income derived from foreign operating companies.  Use of these companies is and has been the subject of administrative audit reviews and proposed legislative change.  Unfavorable developments in any of these areas could substantially increase TCF’s state tax liability.

 

The determination of current and deferred income taxes is a critical accounting estimate which is based on complex analyses of many factors including interpretation of Federal and state income tax laws, the differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts due or owed such as the timing of reversal of temporary differences and current financial accounting standards.  Additionally, there can be no assurances that estimates and interpretations used in determining income tax liabilities may not be challenged by Federal and state taxing authorities.  Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and tax law interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities.  In addition, under generally accepted accounting principles, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded at the current prevailing Federal and state income tax rates.  If such rates change, deferred income tax assets and liabilities must be adjusted in the period of change through a charge or credit to the Consolidated Statements of Income.

        CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS

 

Securities Available for Sale

 

The Company purchased $703.6 million and $668.1 million of mortgage-backed securities during the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, to replace the prepayments of residential real estate loans and mortgage-backed securities.  TCF sold $466 million and $854 million of mortgage-backed securities during the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively.  At March 31, 2005, the unrealized loss on TCF’s mortgage-backed securities available for sale portfolio was $23.1 million.  TCF may, from time to time, sell additional mortgage-backed securities and utilize the proceeds to either reduce borrowings or to fund growth in loans and leases.

At March 31, 2005, 54% of TCF’s consumer and commercial loans consisted of variable-rate loans.  The variable-rate consumer loans have their interest rates tied to the prime rate, while variable-rate commercial loans (consisting of commercial real estate and commercial business loans) have their interest rates tied to either the prime rate or LIBOR. In addition, to the extent these loans have interest rate floors, a change in interest rates may not result in a change in the interest rate on the variable-rate loan.  Substantially all leasing and equipment finance loans and leases have fixed rates.  All residential real estate loans have fixed or adjustable rates.

The leasing and equipment finance portfolio tables above include lease residuals.  Lease residuals represent the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the expiration of the initial term of the transaction and are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Any downward revisions are recorded in the periods in which they become known.   At March 31, 2005, lease residuals, excluding leveraged lease residuals, totaled $34.5 million, and were $35.2 million at December 31, 2004.  The lease residuals on the leveraged lease are included in the investment in leveraged lease and represent a 100% equity interest in a Boeing 767-300 aircraft leased to Delta Airlines, Inc. (“Delta”).  The investment in leveraged lease represents net unpaid rentals and estimated unguaranteed residual values of the leased assets less related unearned income.  TCF has no obligation for principal and interest on the notes representing the third-party participation related to this leveraged lease.  However, these noteholders have a  security interest in the aircraft which is superior to TCF’s equity interest.  Such notes, which totaled $15.6 million at March 31, 2005, down from $19.2 million at December 31, 2004, are recorded as an offset against the related rental receivable.  In 2004, TCF downgraded its credit rating on the aircraft leveraged lease, classified its investment as substandard and placed the lease on non-accrual status.  Although Delta is current on its payments related to this transaction, if Delta declares bankruptcy, it would likely result in the charge-off of TCF’s $18.8 million investment in the leveraged lease and the current payment of previously deferred income tax obligations.  TCF has established a reserve for 50% on the investment in the leveraged lease related to Delta.  This lease represents TCF’s only material direct exposure to the commercial airline industry.  Reduced airline travel, higher fuel costs, changes in airline fare structures, and other factors have adversely impacted the airline industry and could have an adverse impact on Delta’s ability to meet its lease obligations and on the residual value of the aircraft.

Total loan and lease originations for TCF’s leasing businesses were $184.1 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $137.8 million for the same 2004 period.  The backlog of approved transactions increased to $210.7 million at March 31, 2005, from $195.3 million at December 31, 2004.  TCF’s expanded leasing activity is subject to risk of cyclical downturns and other adverse economic developments.  TCF’s ability to increase its lease portfolio is dependent upon its ability to place new equipment in service.  In an adverse economic environment, there may be a decline in the demand for some types of equipment which TCF leases, resulting in a decline in the amount of new equipment being placed into service as well as a decline in equipment values for equipment previously placed in service.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

Credit risk is the risk of loss from a customer default on a loan or lease.  TCF has in place a process to identify and manage its credit risk.  The process includes initial credit review and approval, periodic monitoring to measure compliance with credit agreements and internal credit policies, monitoring changes in the risk ratings of loans and leases, identification of problem loans and leases and procedures for the collection of problem loans and leases.  The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in collateral values, general economic conditions and other factors.  The determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses is a critical accounting policy which involves management’s judgment on a number of factors such as net charge-offs, delinquencies in the loan and lease portfolio, general economic conditions and management’s assessment of credit risk in the current loan and lease portfolio.  The Company considers the allowance for loan and lease losses of $76.9 million appropriate to cover losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolios as of March 31, 2005.  However, no assurance can be given that TCF will not, in any particular period, sustain loan and lease losses that are sizable in relation to the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluations of the loan and lease portfolio, in light of factors then prevailing, including economic conditions and TCF’s on-going credit review process, will not require significant changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses.  Among other factors, a protracted economic slowdown and/or a decline in commercial or residential real estate values in TCF’s markets may have an adverse impact on the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses by increasing credit risk and the risk of potential loss.  See “Forward-Looking Information.”

 

The next several pages include detailed information regarding TCF’s allowance for loan and lease losses, net charge-offs, non-performing assets, past due loans and leases and potential problem loans and leases.  Included in this data are numerous portfolio ratios that must be carefully reviewed and related to the nature of the underlying loans and lease portfolios before appropriate conclusions can be reached regarding TCF or for purposes of making comparisons to other companies.  Most of TCF’s non-performing assets and past due loans and leases are secured by residential real estate.  Given the nature of these assets and the related mortgage foreclosure,  property sale and, if applicable, mortgage insurance claims processes, it can take 18 months or longer for a loan to migrate from initial delinquency to final disposition.  This resolution process generally takes much longer for loans secured by real estate than for unsecured loans or loans secured by other property primarily due to state real estate foreclosure laws.

 

The key indicators of TCF’s credit quality and reserve coverage at March 31, 2005, include the ratio of annualized net recoveries to average loans and leases of ..02%, the allowance to total loans and leases of .80%, and non-performing assets to total assets of .50%.

Potential Problem Loans and Leases

 

In addition to the non-performing assets, there were $67.6 million of loans and leases at March 31, 2005, for which management has concerns regarding the ability of the borrowers to meet existing repayment terms, compared with $71.1 million at December 31, 2004.  These loans and leases are primarily classified for regulatory purposes as substandard and reflect the distinct possibility, but not probability, that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan or lease agreement.  Although these loans and leases have been identified as potential problem loans and leases, they may never become non-performing.  Additionally, these loans and leases are generally secured by commercial real estate or assets, thus reducing the potential for loss should they become non-performing.  Potential problem loans and leases are considered in the determination of the adequacy of the  allowance for loan and lease losses.

Checking, savings and money market deposits are an important source of low cost funds and fee income for TCF.   Deposits totaled $8.4 billion at March 31, 2005, up $432.8 million from December 31, 2004.  At March 31, 2005, lower interest-cost checking, savings and money market deposits totaled $6.7 billion, up $216 million from December 31, 2004, and comprised 79.9% of total deposits at March 31, 2005, compared with 81.6% of total deposits at December 31, 2004.  At March 31, 2005, higher interest-cost certificates of deposit increased $216.8 million from December 31, 2004.  Certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 were $395.4 million as of March 31, 2005, up $142.7 million from $252.7 million as of December 31, 2004.  This increase was primarily due to three temporary accounts totaling $87.7 million which mature in April and May 2005 from one business customer.  TCF’s weighted-average rate for deposits, including non-interest-bearing deposits, was .90% at March 31, 2005, up from ..69% at December 31, 2004, primarily reflecting increases in Premier checking and Premier savings average balances and overall increases in interest rates.

 

New Branch Expansion

 

Key to TCF’s growth is its continued investment in new branch expansion.  New branches are an important source of new customers in both deposit products and consumer lending products.  While supermarket branches continue to play an important role in TCF’s expansion strategy, the opportunity to add new supermarket branches within TCF’s markets will slow in future years.  Therefore, TCF will continue new branch expansion by opening more traditional branches.  Although traditional branches require a higher initial investment than supermarket branches, they ultimately attract more customers and become more profitable.  During the first quarter of 2005, TCF opened one new traditional branch.  TCF now has 258 new branches opened since January 1, 1998.  TCF plans to open 29 more new branches during the remainder of 2005, consisting of 20 traditional branches, seven supermarket branches and two campus branches.

Borrowings

 

Borrowings totaled $3 billion at March 31, 2005, down $127.3 million from December 31, 2004.  Borrowings decreased as a result of growth in deposits. The weighted-average rate on borrowings increased to 3.75% at March 31, 2005, from 3.37% at December 31, 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, TCF Bank issued $50 million of subordinated notes due in 2015. The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% for the first five years and will reprice quarterly thereafter at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.56%.  Also, TCF extended $200 million of FHLB advances until February 2007, at an average fixed interest rate of 3.60%.  Included in long-term borrowings at March 31, 2005, are $567.5 million of fixed-rate FHLB advances and $200 million of repurchase agreements with other institutions, which are callable quarterly at par until maturity.  If the FHLB advances are called, replacement funding will be provided by the FHLB at the then-prevailing market rate of interest for the remaining term-to-maturity, subject to standard terms and conditions.

 

TCF Financial Corporation (parent company only) has a $105 million line of credit maturing in April 2005, which is unsecured and contains certain covenants common to such agreements.  TCF is not in default with respect to any of its covenants under the credit agreement.  The interest rate on the line of credit is based on either the prime rate or LIBOR.  TCF has the option to select the interest rate index and term for advances on the line of credit.  The line of credit may be used for appropriate corporate purposes.  At March 31, 2005, TCF had $26.5 million outstanding on this bank line of credit.  This line of credit was renewed with existing terms for a period of 364 days on April 19, 2005.  See Note 7 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Commitments to lend are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition in the contract.  These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since certain of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Collateral predominantly consists of residential and commercial real estate.

 

Campus marketing agreements consist of fixed or minimum obligations for exclusive marketing and naming rights with ten campuses.  TCF is obligated to make various annual payments for these rights in the form of royalties and scholarships through 2023.  TCF also has various renewal options which may extend the terms of these agreements. On April 21, 2005, TCF’s Board of Directors and the University of Minnesota Board of Regents ratified contracts for TCF’s sponsorship of a new on-campus football stadium to be called “TCF Bank Stadium” and an extension of TCF’s sponsorship of the U Card.  The U Card serves as a key for access to a variety of university services.  TCF also sponsors similar cards for other campuses.  These obligations are included in the table above.  The naming rights agreement with the University of Minnesota is dependent upon several factors, including receipt of necessary state and private funding and completion of stadium construction.  Campus marketing agreements are an important element of TCF’s campus banking strategy.

 

Loans serviced with recourse represent a contingent guarantee based upon the failure to perform by another party.  These loans consist of $89.6 million of Veterans Administration (“VA”) loans and $2.3 million of loans sold with recourse to the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”).  As is typical of a servicer of VA loans, TCF must cover any principal loss in excess of the VA’s guarantee if the VA elects its “no-bid” option upon the foreclosure of a loan.  Since conditions under which TCF would be required either to cover any principal loss in excess of the VA’s guarantee may not materialize, the actual cash requirements are expected to be significantly less than the amount provided in the table above.

 

Standby letters of credit and guarantees on industrial revenue bonds are conditional commitments issued by TCF guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third party.  These conditional commitments expire in various years through 2034.  Since the conditions under which TCF is required to fund these commitments may not materialize, the cash requirements are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments.  Collateral held on these commitments primarily consists of commercial real estate mortgages.

 

Stockholders’ Equity

 

Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2005 was $926.3 million, or 7.3% of total assets, compared with $958.4 million, or 7.8% of total assets, at December 31, 2004.  For the first quarter of 2005, average total equity to average assets was 7.48%, compared with 7.94% for the year ended December 31, 2004.  TCF repurchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2005 at an average cost of $28.10 per share.  At March 31, 2005, TCF had 1.7 million shares remaining in its stock repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors.  Since January 1, 1998, the Company has repurchased 56 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $17.92 per share.   On April 25, 2005, TCF declared a regular quarterly dividend of 21.25 cents per common share, payable on May 31, 2005, to shareholders of record as of May 6, 2005.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market Risk – Interest-Rate Risk

 

TCF’s results of operations are dependent to a large degree on its net interest income and its ability to manage its interest rate risk.  Although TCF manages other risks, such as credit and liquidity risk, in the normal course of its business, the Company considers interest rate risk to be its most significant market risk. Since TCF does not hold a trading portfolio, the Company is not exposed to market risk from trading activities. The mismatch between maturities, interest rate sensitivities and prepayment characteristics of assets and liabilities results in interest rate risk.  TCF, like most financial institutions, has material interest rate risk exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates as well as variable interest rate indices (e.g., prime).

 

40



 

TCF’s Asset/Liability Committee manages TCF’s interest-rate risk based on interest rate expectations and other factors.  The principal objective of TCF’s asset/liability management activities is to provide maximum levels of net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk and liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of the Company.

 

Although the interest rate gap measure (difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities repricing within a given period) is subject to a number of assumptions and is only one of a number of interest rate risk measurements, management believes the interest rate gap is an important indication of TCF’s exposure to interest rate risk and the related volatility of net interest income in a changing interest rate environment.  While the interest rate gap measurement has some limitations, including no assumptions regarding future asset or liability production and a static interest rate assumption (large quarterly changes may occur related to these items), the interest rate gap represents the net asset or liability sensitivity at a point in time.  In addition to the interest rate gap analysis, management also utilizes a net interest income simulation model to measure and manage TCF’s interest rate risk, relative to a base case scenario.

 

TCF utilizes net interest income simulation models to estimate the near-term effects (next twelve months) of changing interest rates on its net interest income. Net interest income simulation involves forecasting net interest income under a variety of scenarios, including the level of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, and spreads between market interest rates. At March 31, 2005, net interest income is estimated to increase by 3.0%, compared with the base case scenario, over the next twelve months if interest rates were to sustain an immediate increase of 100 basis points. In the event interest rates were to decline by 100 basis points, net interest income is estimated to decrease by 3.7%, compared with the base case scenario, over the next twelve months. The projected decrease in net interest income from the base case scenario is primarily due to an assumed reduction in total interest-earning assets.

 

Management exercises its best judgment in making assumptions regarding loan prepayments, early deposit withdrawals, and other non-controllable events in estimating TCF’s exposure to changes in interest rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the simulation models cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of a change in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

 

TCF’s one-year interest rate gap was a positive $386.3 million, or 3% of total assets at March 31, 2005, compared with a positive $585.3 million, or 4.7% of total assets at December 31, 2004. A positive interest rate gap position exists when the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing, including assumed prepayments, within a particular time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing. The decrease in the one-year interest rate gap is primarily due to an increase in consumer fixed rate loans and treasury assets funded with short-term borrowings.

 

The sensitivity of TCF’s one-year interest rate gap is summarized as follows:

TCF may also benefit from an increase in interest rates as this might signify that economic conditions are improving. The favorable impact of an increase in interest rates on net interest income may be partially diminished by an adverse impact on TCF’s deposit account balances, if customers transfer some of their funds to higher interest rate deposit products or other investments, resulting in an increase in the total cost of funds for TCF.  Additionally, an increase in interest rates may affect TCF’s fixed-rate and variable-rate loan mix and volumes and may also result in slower fixed-rate loan prepayments.

 

TCF believes this positive interest rate gap to be warranted because current rates are still below historical averages and, consequently, there is a greater possibility over time of higher interest rates versus lower interest rates.  However, if interest rates fall, TCF could experience an increase in prepayments of fixed rate mortgage-backed securities, residential real estate loans, consumer loans and commercial real estate loans, and could experience compression of its net interest income.

 

The one-year interest rate gap could be significantly affected by external factors such as prepayment rates other than those assumed, early withdrawals of deposits, changes in the correlation of various interest-bearing instruments, competition, a general rise or decline in interest rates, and the possibility that TCF’s counterparties will exercise their option to call certain of TCF’s longer-term callable borrowings.  Decisions by management to purchase or sell assets or to retire debt could change the maturity/repricing and spread relationships.  In addition, TCF’s interest-rate risk may increase during periods of rising interest rates due to slower prepayments on fixed-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities.

 

TCF estimates that an immediate 100 basis point increase in current mortgage loan interest rates would reduce prepayments on the $4.7 billion of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, residential real estate loans and consumer loans at March 31, 2005 by approximately $267 million, or 40.8% in the first year.  A slowing in prepayments would increase the estimated life of the portfolios and may adversely impact net interest income or net interest margin in the future.

 

Recent Accounting Developments

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment which revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related implementation guidance and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows.  It requires that all stock-based compensation now be measured at fair value and recognized as expense in the income statement.  This Statement also clarifies and expands guidance on measuring fair value of stock compensation, requires estimation of forfeitures when determining expense, and requires that excess tax benefits be shown as financing cash inflows versus a reduction of taxes paid in the statement of cashflows.  Various other changes are also required.  This statement is effective beginning January 1, 2006, for public companies as a result of recent SEC actions.  TCF adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS 123 in January 2000.  TCF expects no significant effect on TCF financial statements as a result of the adoption of this statement.

 

Earnings Teleconference and Website Information

 

TCF hosts quarterly conference calls to discuss its financial results.   Additional information regarding TCF’s conference calls can be obtained from the investor relations section within TCF’s website at www.TCFExpress.com or by contacting TCF’s Corporate Communications Department at (952) 745-2760.  The website also includes free access to company news releases, TCF’s annual report, quarterly reports, investor presentations and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. Replays of prior quarterly conference calls discussing financial results may also be accessed at the investor relations section within TCF’s website.

Legislative, Legal and Regulatory Developments

 

Federal and state legislation imposes numerous legal and regulatory requirements on financial institutions.   Future legislative or regulatory change, or changes in enforcement practices or court rulings, may have a dramatic and potentially adverse impact on TCF and its bank and other subsidiaries.

 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and members of the United States Congress have proposed new legislation that would reform the bank deposit insurance system.  This reform could merge the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) and Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”), increase the deposit insurance coverage limits and index future coverage limitations, among other changes.  Most significantly, reform proposals could allow the FDIC to raise or lower (within certain limits) the currently mandated designated reserve ratio of 1.25% ($1.25 against $100 of insured deposits), and require certain changes in the calculation methodology. Although it is too early to predict the ultimate impact of such proposals, they could, if adopted, result in the imposition of additional deposit insurance premium costs on TCF.

 

In September 2002, the SEC issued its final ruling covering the acceleration of periodic report filing dates.  The rule, as amended in November 2004, applies to certain companies, including TCF, and will reduce the annual report filing deadline from 90 days after year-end to 60 days after year-end for TCF’s 2005 Annual Report.  The quarterly report on Form 10-Q will also be accelerated from 45 days after quarter-end to 35 days after quarter-end for the quarterly Form 10-Q filings in 2006.  TCF has taken steps to modify its financial reporting process to meet these accelerated filing deadlines.

 

Forward-Looking Information

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports issued by the Company, including reports filed with the SEC, may contain “forward-looking” statements that deal with future results, plans or performance.  In addition, TCF’s management may make such statements orally to the media, or to securities analysts, investors or others.  Forward-looking statements deal with matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts.  TCF’s future results may differ materially from historical performance and forward-looking statements about TCF’s expected financial results or other plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  These include but are not limited to possible legislative changes and adverse economic, business and competitive developments such as shrinking interest margins; deposit outflows; ability to increase the number of checking accounts and the possibility that deposit account losses (fraudulent checks, etc.) may increase; reduced demand for financial services and loan and lease products; adverse developments affecting TCF’s supermarket banking relationships or any of the supermarket chains in which TCF maintains supermarket branches; changes in accounting standards or interpretations of existing standards or monetary, fiscal or tax policies of the federal or state governments; adverse findings in tax audits; changes in credit and other risks posed by TCF’s loan, lease and investment portfolios, including declines in commercial or residential real estate values or a bankruptcy filing by Delta Airlines, the lessee under a leveraged lease in which TCF holds an equity interest; imposition of vicarious liability on TCF as lessor in its leasing operations; denial of insurance coverage for claims made by TCF; technological, computer-related or operational difficulties; adverse changes in securities markets; the risk that TCF could be unable to effectively manage the volatility of its mortgage servicing portfolio, which could adversely affect earnings; and results of litigation or other significant uncertainties.  Investors should consult TCF’s Annual Report to Shareholders and reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K for additional important information about the Company.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) and its Controller and Assistant Treasurer (Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).  Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of March 31, 2005.  Also, there were no significant changes in the Company’s disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2005.

 

43



 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) and the Controller and Assistant Treasurer (Principal Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Disclosure controls include internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use and that transactions are properly recorded and reported.

 

Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  The design of a control system inherently has limitations, and the benefits of controls must be weighed against their costs.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.  Therefore, no evaluation of a cost-effective system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, TCF is a party to legal proceedings arising out of its lending, leasing and deposit operations.  TCF is and expects to become engaged in a number of foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of its lending and leasing collection activities.  From time to time, borrowers and other customers have also brought actions against TCF, in some cases claiming substantial amounts of damages.  Financial services companies are subject to the risk of class action litigation, and TCF has had such actions brought against it from time to time.  Litigation is often unpredictable and the actual results of litigation cannot be determined with certainty.

 

In April 2004, TCF was served with a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota, by John Matthew Saxe, individually and on behalf of other similarly situated employees.  The plaintiff, a former consumer loan officer for TCF National Bank, alleges that he and other consumer lender employees were not paid overtime compensation in violation of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act and the Minnesota Fair Labor Standards Act, and seeks as damages unpaid back wages, an additional amount equal to unpaid back wages as liquidated damages, costs and attorneys’ fees.  TCF has filed an answer to the complaint denying that the plaintiff or any similarly situated employee is entitled to any relief or that the plaintiff is similarly situated to other employees.  Requests to “opt in” to the case have been filed by 203 individuals, and the time period for filing such requests has closed.  The court has yet to decide whether these individuals will be permitted to join the case filed by the plaintiff.  Discovery in this case is pending.
