FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MB FINANCIAL, INC. REPORTS 53% REDUCTION IN NON-PERFORMING LOANS, CONTINUED STRONG CAPITAL POSITION AND GROWTH IN CORE PRE-TAX, PRE-PROVISION EARNINGS OVER THE PREVIOUS QUARTER

CHICAGO, July 21, 2011 – MB Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBFI), the holding company for MB Financial Bank, N.A (“the Bank” or “MB Financial Bank”), announced today second quarter results for 2011.  The words “MB Financial,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to MB Financial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless indicated otherwise.  We had a net loss of $7.4 million and a net loss available to common stockholders of $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to net income of $19.2 million and net income available to common stockholders of $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2010, and net income of $6.9 million and net income available to common stockholders of $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2011.   The net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was due to the sale of certain loans described below, which required us to increase our provision for credit losses by approximately $50 million.

Key items for the quarter were as follows:

Credit Quality – Decreased Non-Performing Loans, and Non-Performing Assets:
·  
During the second quarter of 2011, we sold certain performing, sub-performing and non-performing loans. The loans sold had an aggregate carrying amount of $281.6 million prior to the transfer to loans held for sale, $156.3 million of which were non-performing loans.  We received $194.6 million in proceeds (net of expenses) and recognized approximately $87 million in charge-offs as a result of this transaction.  The loan sale caused us to increase our provision for credit losses in the quarter by approximately $50 million.
·  
Our non-performing loans were $151.0 million or 2.54% of total loans as of June 30, 2011, a decrease of $167.9 million (53%) from $318.9 million at March 31, 2011.  Excluding the loan sale, our non-performing loans would have decreased by approximately $12 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 86.12% as of June 30, 2011 compared to 55.94% as of March 31, 2011.
·  
Our provision for credit losses was $61.3 million for the second quarter of 2011, while our net charge-offs were $92.6 million.  For the first quarter of 2011, our provision for credit losses and net charge-offs were $40.0 million and $53.8 million, respectively.  Excluding the loan sale, our provision for credit losses and net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2011 would have been approximately $11 million and $6 million, respectively.
·  
Our non-performing assets were $239.3 million or 2.40% of total assets as of June 30, 2011, a decrease of $159.9 million (40%) from $399.2 million or 3.96% of total assets as of March 31, 2011.
·  
Our allowance for loan losses to total loans was 2.19% as of June 30, 2011 compared to 2.80% as of March 31, 2011.  The decrease was primarily due to the loan sale and the related reduction in non-performing and sub-performing loans discussed above.

Core Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Earnings Remain Strong:
·  
Core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings were $47.4 million, or 3.06% of risk-weighted assets, for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $48.4 million or 2.71% of risk-weighted assets for the second quarter of 2010.  Core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings increased $45.5 million, or 2.81% of risk-weighted assets, from the first quarter of 2011.
·  
Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis decreased to $85.2 million, or by 4.6%, compared to $89.3 million for the second quarter of 2010.  Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $353 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2011.
·  
Net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis increased to 3.92% from 3.91% in the second quarter of 2010 and from 3.88% in the first quarter of 2011.
·  
Core other income increased 13.5% to $31.6 million compared to $27.8 million for the second quarter of 2010.  Core other income increased $2.6 million, or 9.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2011.

Strong Capital Position:
·  
MB Financial Bank significantly exceeds the “Well-Capitalized” threshold established under the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  At June 30, 2011, MB Financial, Inc.’s consolidated total risk-based capital ratio was 19.13%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 17.06% and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio was 11.16%, compared with 18.33%, 16.31% and 11.00%, respectively, as of March 31, 2011.  As of June 30, 2011, total capital was approximately $567.8 million in excess of the “Well-Capitalized” threshold, compared with $548.1 million as of March 31, 2011. Our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.76% at June 30, 2011 compared to 7.73% at March 31, 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $353 thousand from the first quarter of 2011 and decreased by $4.1 million from the second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011.  Our net interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, was 3.92% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 3.88% in the first quarter of 2011 and 3.91% in the second quarter of 2010.  The margin increase from the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in average cash balances held at the Federal Reserve, continued downward deposit repricing, and less margin reduction from non-performing loans.  The margin increase from the second quarter of 2010 was primarily due to continued downward deposit repricing and less margin reduction from non-performing loans.

Our net interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, was 3.90% for the first six months of 2011 compared to 3.80% in the first six months of 2010.  The margin increase from 2010 was due to a decrease in our average cost of funds as a result of an improved deposit mix and downward repricing of interest bearing deposits.

Our non-performing loans reduced net interest margin during the second quarter of 2011, first quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010 by approximately 15 basis points, 19 basis points and 21 basis points, respectively.

See the supplemental net interest margin table for further detail.

Letter denotes the corresponding line items where these non-core other income items reside in the consolidated statements of income as follows:  A – Other operating income.

Core other income increased by $2.6 million from the first quarter of 2011 to the second quarter of 2011.  Loan service fees increased by $1.7 million in the second quarter due to an increase in prepayment penalties and exit fees received on early payoffs.  Deposit service fees decreased from the first quarter of 2011 due to changes in customer usage and product changes.  Net lease financing income increased mainly as a result of an increase in the sales of third party equipment maintenance contracts and favorable lease renewals.  The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance was higher due to a death benefit recorded in 2011.  Accretion of indemnification asset decreased as expected due to a corresponding decrease in the indemnification asset balance during the second quarter of 2011.  The decrease in non-core other income was mainly a result of higher valuation adjustments recognized on other real estate owned (“OREO”) in the second quarter of 2011.  This was offset by gains recognized in the second quarter of 2011 on loans held for sale as of March 31, 2011.

Core other income increased by $9.9 million from the first six months of 2010 to the first six months of 2011.  Net lease financing increased primarily due to an increase in the sales of third party equipment maintenance contracts.  Core trust and asset management fees increased primarily due to an increase in assets under management as a result of organic growth and an increase in the market value of assets under management.  The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance was higher due to a death benefit recorded and an improvement in overall asset yields.  Non-core other income decreased in the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010 as a result of the acquisition related gains recognized on the Broadway Bank and New Century Bank FDIC-assisted transactions in the second quarter of 2010 and lower gains on sales of investment securities in 2011.

Letters denote the corresponding line items where these non-core other expense items reside in the consolidated statements of income as follows:  A – Salaries and employee benefits.

Core other expense increased by $893 thousand from the first quarter of 2011 to the second quarter of 2011.  Occupancy and equipment expense decreased as a result of decreased property taxes.  Professional and legal expense increased during the second quarter of 2011 as a result of higher loan remediation expenses.  Other real estate expense increased as a result of an increase in property maintenance and real estate tax expense.  Non-core other expense was primarily impacted by a $1.0 million fixed asset impairment charge incurred in the first quarter of 2011 caused by our decision to close a branch.

Core other expense increased by $4.5 million from the first six months of 2010 to the first six months of 2011.  Salaries and employee benefits expense increased due additional employees added due to the New Century and Broadway FDIC-assisted transactions, problem loan remediation staff added throughout 2010 and increased leasing commissions on higher revenues.  Computer services expense decreased primarily due to conversion expenditures on FDIC assisted transactions completed in 2010.  Professional and legal expense increased during the first half of 2011 as a result of higher loan remediation expenses.  FDIC insurance premiums decreased due to lower deposit balances.  Other real estate expense increased as a result of an increase in property maintenance and real estate tax expense.  As noted above, non-core other expense was primarily impacted by a $1.0 million fixed asset impairment charge.

Income Taxes

The Company had an income tax benefit of $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and a benefit of $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The three month and year-to-date tax benefits are calculated based on pre-tax income excluding tax-exempt items.  The year-to-date amount also includes a $2 million increase in deferred tax assets as a result of the Illinois corporate income tax rate increase which was enacted and reflected in the first quarter of 2011.

Covered loans refer to loans we acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions that are subject to loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC.

The decrease in loan balances from the March 31, 2011 to June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the sale during the second quarter of 2011 of approximately $281.6 million of loans.

Includes $25.6 million, $60.9 million, $47.6 million, $16.9 million, and $6.0 million of restructured loans on non-accrual status at June 30, 2011, March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
(2)  
Includes $12.7 million, $13.6 million, $15.6 million and $8.5 million for unfunded credit commitments at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
(3)  
Accruing restructured loans consists primarily of commercial and commercial real estate loans that have been modified and are performing in accordance with those modified terms.
(4)  
Calculated by adding partial charge-offs to both the numerator and denominator in the calculation.

The decreases in total non-performing loans and total non-performing assets from March 31, 2011 to June 30, 2011 were primarily due to the sale during the second quarter of 2011 of loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $281.6 million prior to the transfer to loans held for sale, $156.3 million of which were non-performing.

The following table presents a summary of total performing loans greater than 30 days and less than 90 days past due, excluding loans held for sale and credit-impaired loans that were acquired as part of our FDIC-assisted transactions (see definition of “purchased credit-impaired loans” below), as of the dates indicated (dollar amounts in thousands):

The decrease in non-performing loans from March 31, 2011 to June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the sale during the second quarter of 2011 of loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $281.6 million prior to the transfer to loans held for sale, $156.3 million of which were non-performing.  The following non-performing balances were sold (in thousands):

We define potential problem loans as performing loans rated substandard that do not meet the definition of a non-performing loan (See “Asset Quality” section above for non-performing loans).  Potential problem loans carry a higher probability of default and require additional attention by management.  The aggregate principal amount of potential problem loans was $234.8 million, or 3.95% of total loans, as of June 30, 2011, compared to $307.4 million, or 4.83% of total loans, as of March 31, 2011.  Our potential problem loans decreased during the second quarter primarily as the result of the loan sale discussed above.  Potential problem loans with an aggregate carrying amount of approximately $66.6 million prior to the transfer to loans held for sale were sold during the second quarter of 2011.

“Purchased credit-impaired loans” refer to certain loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions, for which deterioration in credit quality occurred before the acquisition date.  Upon acquisition, these loans were recorded at fair value with interest income to be accreted over the estimated life of the loan when cash flows are reasonably estimable, even if the underlying loans are contractually past due.  Acquisition fair value incorporates the Company’s estimate, as of the acquisition date, of credit losses over the remaining life of the portfolio.

Includes $12.7 million, $13.6 million, $15.6 million and $8.5 million for unfunded credit commitments at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
(2)  
The reserve for unfunded credit commitments (primarily letters of credit) was reclassified from the allowance for loan losses to other liabilities as of June 30, 2011.

Excluding the effects of the loan sale transaction during the second quarter of 2011, which resulted in approximately $87 million in charge-offs and an increase in the provision for losses of approximately $50 million, the provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2011 would have been approximately $11 million.   The decrease in the required provision, excluding the effects of the loan sale transaction, was a result of lower downward migration of loans to non-performing status and higher collateral values underlying loans that did migrate.  Excluding the effects of the loan sale, net charge-offs were approximately $6 million.

Our allowance for loan losses is comprised of three elements: a general loss reserve, a specific reserve for impaired loans, and a reserve for smaller-balance homogenous loans.  The following table presents these three elements of our allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2011, March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

The specific reserve as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 includes reserves on unfunded credit commitments of approximately $13.6 million and $15.6 million, respectively.  Beginning as of June 30, 2011, reserves on unfunded credit commitments are recorded as liabilities.

The general reserve decreased during the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to a decrease in sub-performing loans as a result of the loan sale as well as a reduction in valuation risk.  Specific reserves decreased during the second quarter of 2011 primarily as a result of a reduction in non-performing loan balances as a result of the loan sale during the second quarter and the reclassification of the reserves on unfunded credit commitments to other liabilities.  A majority of reserves on unfunded credit commitments relate to specific reserves on problem letters of credit.

Although management believes that adequate specific and general loan loss allowances have been established, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of specific and general loan loss allowances may become necessary.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this press release and in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, in press releases or other public stockholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “believe,” “will,” “should,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  These statements may relate to our future financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenues or earnings projections, or other financial items.  By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) expected revenues, cost savings, synergies and other benefits from our merger and acquisition activities might not be realized within the anticipated time frames or at all, and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; (2) the possibility that the expected benefits of the FDIC-assisted transactions we previously completed will not be realized; (3) the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which could necessitate additional provisions for loan losses, resulting both from loans we originate and loans we acquire from other financial institutions; (4) results of examinations by the Office of Comptroller of Currency and other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or write-down assets; (5) competitive pressures among depository institutions; (6) interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior and net interest margin; (7) the impact of repricing and competitors’ pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; (8) fluctuations in real estate values; (9) the ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers’ needs and developments in the market place; (10) our ability to realize the residual values of our direct finance, leveraged, and operating leases; (11) our ability to access cost-effective funding; (12) changes in financial markets; (13) changes in economic conditions in general and in the Chicago metropolitan area in particular; (14) the costs, effects and outcomes of litigation; (15) new legislation or regulatory changes, including but not limited to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and regulations adopted thereunder, changes in federal and/or state tax laws or interpretations thereof by taxing authorities, changes in laws, rules or regulations applicable to companies that have participated in the TARP Capital Purchase Program of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry; (16) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; (17) our future acquisitions of other depository institutions or lines of business; and (18) future goodwill impairment due to changes in our business, changes in market conditions, or other factors.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).  These measures include core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings; core other income, core other expense, non-core other income and non-core other expense; net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis; the addition of partial charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses and to the numerator and the denominator in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans; efficiency ratio, ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets, ratio of core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings to risk-weighted assets and ratio of core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings to average assets, with net gains and losses on securities available for sale, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, net gains and losses on other real estate owned, acquisition related gains and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest income components of these ratios, and impairment charges and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest expense components of these ratios; ratios of tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity to risk weighted assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and Tier 1 common capital to risk-weighted assets; tangible book value per common share; and annualized cash return on average tangible common equity.   Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions.  Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons.

Management believes that core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings are a useful measure in assessing our core operating performance, particularly during times of economic stress.  In recent periods, our results of operations have been negatively impacted by adverse economic conditions, as seen in our elevated levels of loan charge-offs and provision for credit losses.  Management believes that measuring earnings before the impact of the provision for loan losses makes our financial data more comparable between reporting periods so that investors can better understand our operating performance trends.  Management also believes that this is a standard figure used in the banking industry to measure performance.

Management believes that core and non-core other income and other expense are useful in assessing our core operating performance and in understanding the primary drivers of our other income and other expense when comparing periods.

The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate.  Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes.

Management believes that the addition of partial charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses and to the numerator and the denominator in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans may be useful to investors because it reflects what our loan loss reserve levels would have been had the partial charge-offs not been taken.

Management also believes that by excluding net gains and losses on securities available for sale, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, net gains and losses on other real estate owned, acquisition-related gains and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest income components, and excluding impairment changes and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest expense components, of the efficiency ratio, the ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets, the ratio of core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings to risk-weighted assets and the ratio of core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings to average assets, these ratios better reflect our core operating performance, as the excluded items do not pertain to our core business operations and their exclusion makes these ratios more meaningful when comparing our operating results from period to period.

In addition, management believes that presenting the ratio of Tier 1 common equity to risk weighted assets is useful for assessing our capital strength and for peer comparison purposes.  The other measures exclude the acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax benefit, in determining tangible assets, tangible equity, tangible common equity and average tangible common equity and exclude other intangible amortization expense, net of tax benefit, in determining net cash flow available to common stockholders.  Management believes the presentation of these other financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial results, as they provide a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well as our capital strength.  Management also believes that providing measures that exclude balances of acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers.  In addition, management believes that these are standard financial measures used in the banking industry to evaluate performance.
