FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MB FINANCIAL, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2012 NET INCOME OF $21.1 MILLION, STRONG PRE-TAX, PRE-PROVISION OPERATING EARNINGS AND IMPROVING CREDIT COSTS

CHICAGO, April 19, 2012 – MB Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBFI), the holding company for MB Financial Bank, N.A (“the Bank” or “MB Financial Bank”), announced today first quarter results for 2012.  The words “MB Financial,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to MB Financial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless indicated otherwise.  We had net income of $21.1 million and net income available to common stockholders of $17.8 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to net income of $6.9 million and net income available to common stockholders of $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2011, and net income of $19.5 million and net income available to common stockholders of $16.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Key items for the quarter were as follows:

 “Shareholder Friendly” TARP Repayment:
·  
On March 14, 2012, we repurchased all $196 million of preferred stock issued in 2008 to the U.S. Department of Treasury as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program.  No equity or long term debt was issued in conjunction with the repurchase.
·  
The repurchase resulted in a one-time, non-cash after-tax charge of approximately $1.2 million or $0.02 per common share in the first quarter of 2012, related to unaccreted discount recorded at the date of issuance.
·  
The repurchase was made with cash on hand as of the repurchase date.  Prior to the repurchase date, we entered into and fully utilized a $35.0 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a correspondent bank to supplement holding company cash.

Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Operating Earnings Remain Strong:
·  
Pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings on a fully tax equivalent basis were $44.5 million, or 2.91% of risk-weighted assets, for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $46.0 million, or 2.87% of risk-weighted assets, for the fourth quarter of 2011.
·  
Pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings on a fully tax equivalent basis to average assets was 1.84% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 1.85% for the fourth quarter of 2011.
·  
Net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis was 3.87% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 3.91% in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Credit Costs Continue to Improve:
·  
Our provision for credit losses was $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2012, while our net charge-offs were $5.8 million.  Our provision for credit losses and net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $8.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively.
·  
Our non-performing loans were $124.7 million or 2.15% of total loans as of March 31, 2012, a decrease of $4.7 million from $129.4 million or 2.17% of total loans at December 31, 2011.
·  
Our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 100.59% as of March 31, 2012 compared to 98.00% as of December 31, 2011.
·  
Our non-performing assets were $187.8 million or 1.94% of total assets as of March 31, 2012, a decrease of $20.2 million from $208.0 million or 2.12% of total assets as of December 31, 2011.
·  
Other real estate owned decreased to $63.1 million as of March 31, 2012 compared to $78.5 million as of December 31, 2011, while losses recognized on other real estate owned increased by $1.1 million to $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis decreased $2.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2011 and decreased by $3.0 million from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012.  The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2011 was due primarily to a decrease in average interest earning assets and a decrease in net interest margin.  The decrease from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012 was due primarily to a decrease in average interest earning assets.

Our net interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, was 3.87% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 3.91% for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 3.88% for the first quarter of 2011.  The net interest margin decreased from the fourth quarter of 2011 due to a decrease in loan yields, partially offset by an improved deposit mix and downward repricing of interest bearing deposits.

See the supplemental net interest margin tables 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, B – Net loss recognized on other real estate owned.

Core other income decreased by $623 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012.  Deposit service fees decreased primarily due to decreases in NSF and overdraft fees.  Net lease financing decreased due to a decrease in remarketing revenues, which were unusually robust during the fourth quarter of 2011.  Accretion of indemnification asset decreased as a result of the corresponding decrease in the indemnification asset balance during the first quarter of 2012.  Card fees increased due to restrictions of the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act on debit card interchange fees currently not applying to us as a result of total assets decreasing under $10 billion as of December 31, 2011.  Non-core other income was primarily impacted by higher losses recognized on other real estate owned.

Core other income was consistent from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012.  Deposit service fees decreased due to decreases in NSF and overdraft fees.  Net lease financing increased primarily due to an increase in the sales of third party equipment maintenance contracts and related income.  Accretion of indemnification asset decreased as a result of corresponding decrease in the indemnification asset balance during the first quarter of 2012.  Non-core other income was primarily impacted by higher losses recognized on other real estate owned.

Core other expense decreased by $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011.  Occupancy and equipment expense increased as a result of higher maintenance costs.  Computer services and telecommunication expense decreased primarily due to product and system enhancement activities completed in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The decrease in other operating expenses was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in the clawback liability related to our loss share agreements with the FDIC.

Core other expense increased by $1.2 million from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012.  Salaries and employee benefits expense increased due to officer raises, higher health insurance claims and one extra day in the first quarter of 2012.  FDIC insurance premiums decreased due to lower deposits, a change in the assessment computation during the second quarter of 2011, and the impact of improved credit quality on the computation.  Other real estate expense increased as a result of increased holding costs related to other real estate owned.  The decrease in other operating expenses was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in the clawback liability related to our loss share agreements with the FDIC.  Non-core other expense was primarily impacted by $1.0 million of fixed asset impairment charges due to our decision to close a branch in the first quarter of 2011.

Income Taxes

The Company had income tax expense of $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Tax expense in the first quarter of 2011 included $2.1 million of income tax benefit due to an increase in deferred tax assets as a result of an increase in the Illinois corporate income tax rate enacted in the first quarter of 2011.

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.

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 $159.4 million, or 2.75% of total loans, as of March 31, 2012, compared to $149.8 million, or 2.51% of total loans, as of December 31, 2011.

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.
(2)  
Includes $12.7 million for unfunded credit commitments at March 31, 2011.

The activity in the second quarter of 2011 reflects the previously disclosed sale of certain performing, sub-performing and non-performing loans, which resulted in approximately $87.6 million in charge-offs and an increase in the provision for credit losses of approximately $50 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 (in thousands):

(1)  
The specific reserve as of March 31, 2011 includes reserves on unfunded credit commitments of approximately $12.7 million.  Beginning as of June 30, 2011, reserves on unfunded credit commitments are recorded as liabilities.

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, other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry and changes in federal and/or state tax laws or interpretations thereof by taxing authorities; (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.

We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made.

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 pre-tax, pre-provision operating 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; efficiency ratio, ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets, ratio of pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings to risk-weighted assets and ratio of pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings to average assets, with net gains and losses on securities available for sale, net losses on sale of other assets, net gains and losses on other real estate owned, net gain on sale of loans held for sale and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest income components of these ratios, 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, with tax equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, as applicable; 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 pre-tax, pre-provision operating 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, net interest margin, tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance 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.  For the same reasons, management believes the tax equivalent adjustments to tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance are useful.

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 losses on other real estate owned, net gain on sale of loans held for sale 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 pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings to risk-weighted assets and the ratio of pre-tax, pre-provision operating 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.

The non-GAAP disclosures contained herein should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
