SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

3.2% growth in total loans
Non-performing assets decreased $9 million to $97 million as of June 30, 2014
$2 million reversal of provision for loan losses
10% growth in non-interest income
3.54% net interest margin ratio remained stable, as compared to 3.52% for first quarter 2014
“We are very pleased with our second quarter results, which reflect positive trends across most areas of our operations,” said Ed Garding, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. “We are encouraged by the increase in loan demand we are seeing across our markets, which resulted in the strongest quarterly loan growth we have experienced in several years. Our loan portfolio increased 3% during the second quarter, with all of our major lending areas contributing to the growth. We are also pleased with the continued improvement in asset quality we are seeing, which is reflected in a 9% decrease in non-performing assets during the second quarter," Garding continued.
“Our operations continue to generate a significant amount of capital and we are highly focused on efficiently managing our capital position. We are reinvesting our capital to support growth through our pending merger with Mountain West Bank, while also returning capital to shareholders through strong dividends and our ongoing share repurchase program. We believe this formula of balanced capital management will continue to optimize our returns and create value for our shareholders,” said Mr. Garding.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent, or FTE, basis, increased $1.6 million to $60.8 million during second quarter 2014, as compared to $59.2 million during first quarter 2014, primarily due to loan growth and one additional accrual day during second quarter 2014. During second quarter 2014, the Company further reduced funding costs to 0.27%, a one basis point reduction from first quarter 2014 and a five basis point reduction from second quarter 2013.

The Company's interest margin ratio remained stable at 3.54% during second quarter 2014, as compared to 3.52% during first quarter 2014. During second quarter 2014, the Company recovered charged off interest of $1.4 million, compared to $532 thousand during first quarter 2014. Exclusive of these interest recoveries, the Company's net interest margin ratio was 3.46% during the second quarter 2014 and 3.49% during first quarter 2014.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $2.5 million to $26.6 million during second quarter 2014, as compared to $24.1 million during first quarter 2014, primarily due to increases in income from the origination and sale of mortgage loans, higher debit and credit card interchange fees and increases in wealth management revenues.

Income from the origination and sale of loans increased $1.7 million to $6.4 million during second quarter 2014, as compared to $4.7 million during first quarter 2014, primarily due to increased mortgage loan production. The Company's mortgage loan production increased 57% during second quarter 2014, as compared to first quarter 2014, primarily due to seasonal fluctuations in production volumes combined with the completion of residential mortgage loan closings delayed by weather during the first quarter. Loans originated for home purchases accounted for approximately 76% of the Company's mortgage loan production during second quarter 2014, as compared to 68% during first quarter 2014 and 53% during second quarter 2013.

Other service charges, commissions and fees increased $543 thousand to $9.7 million during second quarter 2014, as compared to $9.2 million during first quarter 2014, primarily due to higher interchange fees earned on debit and credit card transactions resulting from higher transaction volumes.

Wealth management revenues increased $154 thousand to $4.6 million during second quarter 2014, as compared to $4.5 million during first quarter 2014, due to the combined effect of the continued addition of new wealth management customers and increases in the market values of new and existing assets under trust management.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $1.6 million to $55.9 million during second quarter 2014, as compared to $54.3 million during first quarter 2014. Included in non-interest expense are $597 thousand of acquisition expenses, which the Company considers to be non-core. Exclusive of these non-core expenses, core non-interest expense was $55.3 million during second quarter 2014, $54.3 million during first quarter 2014 and $55.0 million during second quarter 2013. Increases in core non-interest expense during second quarter 2014, as compared to first quarter 2014, were primarily due to higher salaries and wages expense, which was partially offset by lower employee benefits expense.
    
Salaries and wages expense increased $2.0 million to $24.4 million during second quarter 2014, as compared to $22.4 million during first quarter 2014, primarily due to one additional salary accrual day, increases in commissioned pay reflective of increased mortgage loan origination and higher incentive compensation accruals.

Employee benefits expense decreased $1.1 million to $7.2 million during second quarter 2014, as compared to $8.3 million during first quarter 2014, primarily due to reductions in payroll taxes as annual compensation tax limits are met. In addition, during second quarter 2014, the Company reversed $500 thousand of previously accrued health insurance expense reflective of favorable claims experience during the first half of 2014.
    
BALANCE SHEET
    
Total loans increased $142 million to $4,506 million as of June 30, 2014, from $4,365 million as of March 31, 2014, with all major categories of loans showing growth. Loan growth during second quarter 2014 was spread across the Company's market areas and was largely attributable to improvement in the economic conditions of the areas served.

Residential real estate loans grew $26 million to $895 million as of June 30, 2014, from $869 million as of March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the origination of 1-4 family residential real estate loans not meeting the requirements for sale on the secondary market. These loans are generally five to fifteen year adjustable rate and conventional mortgages. During the first half of 2014, substantially all of the Company's conforming residential loan production was sold to investors in the secondary market.

Consumer loans increased $37 million to $707 million as of June 30, 2014, from $670 million as of March 31, 2014, primarily due to increases in indirect consumer loans. Indirect consumer loans increased $31 million to $512 million as of June 30, 2014, from $481 million as of March 31, 2014. Management attributes the increase in indirect consumer loans to continued expansion of the Company's indirect lending program within existing markets combined with increases in the average loan amount advanced.


2



Continuing business expansion in the Company's market areas resulted in increases in commercial, commercial real estate and commercial construction loans during second quarter 2014. The most notable increase occurred in commercial loans, which grew $20 million to $727 million as of June 30, 2014, from $707 million as of March 31, 2014.

Agricultural loans increased $22 million to $130 million as of June 30, 2014, from $108 million as of March 31, 2014, primarily due to seasonal increases that typically occur during the second and third quarters of the year.
 
Total deposits increased $44 million to $6,179 million as of June 30, 2014, from $6,135 million as of March 31, 2014. During second quarter 2014, the mix of deposits continued to shift away from higher costing time deposits to lower costing demand deposits, the result of sustained low interest rates. As of June 30, 2014, time deposits comprised 18.4% of total deposits, as compared to 18.9% of total deposits as of March 31, 2014 and 21.7% as of June 30, 2013.

ASSET QUALITY
    
Non-performing assets continued to decrease during second quarter 2014, ending the quarter at $97 million, or 1.27% of total assets, as of June 30, 2014, their lowest level since 2008. This compares to $106 million, or 1.40% of total assets as of
March 31, 2014.

During second quarter 2014, the Company recorded net charged-off loans of $1 million, which was comprised of gross charge-offs of $3 million and gross recoveries of $2 million. This compares to gross charge-offs of $3 million and gross recoveries of $4 million recorded during first quarter 2014.

The Company reversed $2 million of provision for loan losses during second quarter 2014, primarily due to the combined impact of reductions in specific reserves on impaired loans and lower general reserves reflective of improvement in economic conditions in the Company's market areas, improvement in loss history trends used to estimate required reserves and decreases in the level of criticized commercial real estate and construction loans, which typically require higher reserves based on loss history.

STOCK REPURCHASE

Pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Company's Board of Directors on November 25, 2013, the Company repurchased and retired 225,063 shares of its Class A common stock during second quarter 2014. The shares were repurchased in a combination of open market and privately negotiated transactions at an aggregate purchase price of $24.91 per share. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to an additional 1,674,582 shares of its Class A common stock prior to expiration of the plan on November 25, 2014.

ACQUISITION

On June 30, 2014, the Company received regulatory approval of its acquisition by merger of Mountain West Financial Corp., the parent company of Mountain West Bank, National Association. The acquisition is expected to close on July 31, 2014. Subsequent to the acquisition, and subject to further regulatory approval, the Company will merge Mountain West Bank, National Association into First Interstate Bank, the Company's bank subsidiary. The bank merger is expected to occur on October 18, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, Mountain West Financial Corp. had total assets of approximately $623 million, net loans of approximately $380 million and deposits of approximately $520 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
        
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, this release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to provide supplemental perspectives on capital adequacy, operating results, performance trends and financial condition. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies because other companies may not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. As a result, the usefulness of these measures to investors may be limited, and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
    
The Company adjusts certain capital adequacy measures to exclude intangible assets except mortgage servicing rights. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators, are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance due to the importance that analysts place on these ratios and also allow investors to compare certain aspects of the Company's capitalization to other companies.

The Company also adjusts earnings and certain performance ratios to exclude non-core revenues and expenses, including investment securities net gains or losses and acquisition expenses consisting primarily of travel expenses and professional fees. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating operating trends by excluding amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations. These non-core income and expense adjustments are presented net of estimated income tax expense.

The following table reconciles the above described non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as of the dates indicated.
