MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Iowa City, Iowa, October 22, 2015 - MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ - MOFG) today reported its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, including five months of results after its merger with Central Bancshares, Inc. (“Central”), which closed on May 1, 2015. Net income for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $7.6 million, compared with $4.9 million for the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.67 for the third quarter of 2015, compared with $0.59 for both basic and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2014. After excluding the effects of $0.2 million of expenses related to the merger with Central, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2015 were $0.68.
Earnings comparisons between the third quarter of 2015 and the same period in 2014 were affected primarily by the Central acquisition, highlighted by the following:
a 94.1% increase in net interest income, due primarily to an 87.5% increase in interest income which included merger-related discount accretion of $1.7 million; and
a 36.3% increase in noninterest income, driven by increases in other service charges, commissions and fees and mortgage origination and loan servicing fees; offset by
an increase of $2.0 million in the provision for loan losses, due primarily to loan growth; and
an 84.1% increase in noninterest expense, primarily due to an 85.6% increase in salaries and employee benefits which resulted mainly from the additional compensation expense associated with the Central acquisition; and
a 23.7% increase in income tax expense, due to an increase in taxable income due to the merger, offset in part by the partial recognition of rehabilitation and historic tax credits on the Company’s headquarters building.
“Third quarter earnings were solid for MidWestOne,” stated President and Chief Executive Officer, Charles N. Funk. “We continue to grow our loan portfolio, and deposit levels began to increase at the end of the quarter. As in past quarters, there are atypical income statement items that affected the Company's third quarter numbers. We do not regard any of them as unusual, and most are associated with the recent merger with Central. Our staff continues to work diligently to prepare for the planned merger of Central Bank into MidWestOne Bank in the first half of 2016.”
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $16.9 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 15.5%, compared to $14.6 million of net income for the same period in 2014, with diluted earnings per share of $1.68 and $1.73 for the comparative nine month periods, respectively. The increase in net income was due primarily to higher net interest income and increased noninterest income, partially offset by increased noninterest expense and income tax expense. After excluding the effects of $3.4 million ($2.9 million after tax) of expenses related to the merger with Central, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $1.97.
Results of Operations
Net interest income of $26.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 increased $12.8 million, or 94.1%, from $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to the merger. An increase in average loan balances, and the effect of the merger-related discount accretion of $1.7 million, resulted in loan interest income growth of $14.5 million, or 119.7%, to $26.7 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. Income from investment securities decreased to $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2014, reflective of a decrease of $9.7 million in the average

balance of investment securities between the two comparable periods. The decrease in average balance resulted primarily from using proceeds from the sale and maturity of securities to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration for the closing of the merger with Central. There was no income from loan pool participations for the third quarter of 2015, as the Company sold its remaining loan pool participations in June 2015, and has completely exited this line of business. Income from loan pool participations was $0.3 million in the third quarter a year ago. Interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 50.6%, to $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2014, primarily due to increased interest expense on deposits and the additional cost of merger-related assumptions of debt, partially offset by the lower expense on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings which resulted from the decrease of $6.0 million in outstanding FHLB advances between December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $63.3 million, up $22.3 million, or 54.6%, from $40.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to the merger. Loan interest income increased $24.9 million, or 68.9%, to $61.0 million for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014, primarily due to the merger-related increase in average loan balances of $774.1 million, or 71.3%, between the two periods, and the effect of the merger-related discount accretion of $3.0 million. Interest income on investment securities decreased $1.0 million, or 8.9%, to $9.9 million for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014 due to lower average balances. Interest expense was $8.4 million, including $0.6 million in merger-related amortization of the purchase accounting premium on certificates of deposit, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.2 million, or 17.0%, compared to the first nine months of 2014.
The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2015, calculated on a fully tax-equivalent basis, was 4.08%, or 60 basis points higher than the 3.48% net interest margin for the third quarter of 2014. A higher yield received on interest-earning assets, positively impacted by purchase accounting adjustments as noted above, combined with lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, resulted in the improved margin. The Company posted a net interest margin of 3.67% for the first nine months of 2015, up 12 basis points from 3.55% for the same period in 2014.
The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2015 was $2.1 million, an increase from $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increased provision primarily reflects the increase in outstanding loan balances due to both the merger and organic loan growth. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2015 was $3.6 million, up $2.7 million from $0.9 million for the same period in 2014.
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2015 increased to $5.5 million, up $1.5 million, or 36.3%, from $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2014, due primarily to the merger. The increase was primarily in other service charges, commissions and fees, which increased by $0.7 million, or 119.4%, from $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2015. Mortgage origination and loan servicing fees rose $0.6 million, or 128.3%, from $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2014 to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2015. Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2015 was also driven by an increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts of $0.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2014. The noted increases were partially offset by decreased gains on the sale of available for sale securities of $0.1 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, noninterest income rose to $14.6 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 23.6%, from $11.8 million during the same period of 2014. While all but two of the major noninterest income categories improved, primarily due to the merger, the greatest increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was in other service charges, commissions and fees, which rose from $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.0 million, or 53.6%. Mortgage origination and loan servicing fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $0.9 million, or 74.1%, from $1.2 million for the same period in 2014. Another significant contributor to the overall increase in noninterest income was service charges and fees on deposit accounts, which increased $0.7 million to $3.1 million, compared with $2.4 million for the same period of 2014. Trust, investment, and insurance fees also increased to $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an improvement of $0.3 million, or 5.7%, from $4.4 million for the same period in 2014. These increases were partially offset by decreased gains on the sale of available for sale securities of $0.1 million.
Third quarter 2015 noninterest expense was $19.9 million, up $9.1 million, or 84.1%, from the third quarter of 2014. The increase was mainly due to expenses relating to the Central merger, and the increased size of the Company following the merger. Salaries and employee benefits increased $5.4 million, or 85.6%, between the third quarter of 2014 and the third quarter of 2015 mainly as a result of five months of post-merger expenses. Likewise, net occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.2 million, or 75.9%, from $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2014 to $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2015 mainly due to the merger. Merger-related expenses were $0.2 million, the majority of which were professional fees expense, which increased $0.2 million, or 32.5%, for the third quarter of 2015, compared with the third quarter of 2014. Other operating expense for the third quarter of 2015 increased $0.8 million, or 56.6%, compared with the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to the merger.

Noninterest expense increased to $50.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with $31.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $19.1 million, or 59.9%. As with the quarterly expenses, the increase was mainly due to the inclusion of expenses related to the closing of the merger and five months of post-merger expenses. Salaries and employee benefits increased $10.1 million, or 54.5%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Merger-related expenses paid were $3.4 million ($2.9 million after tax). These expenses are reflected mainly in an increase in professional fees expense of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and an increase of $2.5 million, or 60.0%, in other operating expense for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period a year ago.
Income tax expense was $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2014, and was $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2014. This expense variation was primarily due to a change in the level of taxable income between the comparable periods because of the merger, which was offset in part by the partial recognition of rehabilitation and historic tax credits on the Company’s headquarters building in the amount of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Balance Sheet and Asset Quality
Due primarily to the merger, total assets increased to $2.98 billion at September 30, 2015 from $1.80 billion at December 31, 2014. The main areas of asset increases were loans, cash and cash equivalents, goodwill, and premises and equipment. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in loan pool participations due to the sale of the entire portfolio in the second quarter of 2015. Total deposits at September 30, 2015, were $2.47 billion, an increase of $1.06 billion from December 31, 2014, due primarily to the merger. The deposit increase was concentrated in savings deposits, which increased $323.2 million, or 315.2%, to $425.7 million at September 30, 2015, from $102.5 million at December 31, 2014, and non-interest-bearing demand deposits, which increased $317.6 million, or 148.1% between these two dates. Junior subordinated notes issued to capital trusts increased by $8.1 million, or 52.4%, between December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, due to the assumption of notes in the merger with Central. The Company initiated new long-term borrowings from an unaffiliated bank of $25.0 million during the second quarter of 2015 in connection with the closing of the merger. At September 30, 2015, this note had an outstanding balance of $23.8 million. These increases were somewhat offset by a decrease in federal funds purchased of $17.4 million between December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, and a decline in FHLB borrowings of $6.0 million, or 6.5% between December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, to $87.0 million at September 30, 2015.
“Our loan to deposit ratio remains at a higher level compared to a year ago as we have generally been increasing loans at a faster rate than deposits.  Generally, loan growth has been strong in both banks' markets, with the Twin Cities metro market especially experiencing robust demand,” continued Mr. Funk. “Deposit generation remains one of our largest challenges, and we are excited to engage the Central Bank staff in deposit generation in our footprint in the Twin Cities area as we roll out a new set of products we believe Central Bank customers will find to be attractive.”
Total loans (excluding loan pool participations and loans held for sale) increased $1.00 billion, or 88.7%, from December 31, 2014, to $2.14 billion at September 30, 2015, primarily as a result of the merger. While all loan categories saw increased balances, the increases were primarily concentrated in commercial real estate-other, one-to-four-family first liens, and commercial and industrial loans. As of September 30, 2015, the largest category of bank loans was commercial real estate loans, comprising approximately 46% of the portfolio, which included 4% of total loans being farmland, 5% being construction and development, and 5% being multifamily residential mortgages. Residential real estate loans was the next largest category at 25% of total loans, followed by commercial and industrial loans at 21%, agricultural loans at 6%, and consumer loans at 2%. The Company also held $26.3 million net of a discount of $8.0 million, or 1.2% of the total loan portfolio, in purchased credit impaired loans as a result of the merger.
Nonperforming bank loans decreased from $13.0 million, or 1.15% of total bank loans, at December 31, 2014, to $12.8 million, or 0.60% of total bank loans, at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, nonperforming loans consisted of $5.1 million in nonaccrual loans, $7.5 million in troubled debt restructures (“TDRs”) and $0.1 million in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. This compares to nonaccrual loans of $3.3 million, TDRs of $8.9 million, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing of $0.8 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in overall nonperforming loans was primarily due to payments collected from TDR-status borrowers. Loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest decreased $0.7 million between December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, while nonaccrual loans increased by $1.9 million between these dates due primarily to the addition of three commercial real estate loans totaling $1.7 million. Bank loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest (not included in the nonperforming loan totals) increased to $13.5 million at September 30, 2015, compared with $3.9 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to the merger. At September 30, 2015, other real estate owned (not included in nonperforming loans) was $8.3 million, up from $1.9 million of other real estate owned at December 31, 2014, again, as a result of the merger. During the first nine months of 2015, the Company had a net increase of 41 properties to other real estate owned, including 45 properties that were added as a result of the merger. As of September 30, 2015, the allowance for bank loan losses

3



was $18.9 million, or 0.88% of total loans, compared with $16.4 million, or 1.44% of total bank loans at December 31, 2014. The decrease in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was due to the purchased loans acquired in the merger being recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses represented 147.79% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2015, compared with 125.67% of nonperforming bank loans at December 31, 2014. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, or an annualized 0.08% of average loans outstanding, compared to net charge-offs of $0.6 million, or an annualized 0.08% of average bank loans outstanding, for the same period of 2014.
“Asset quality remains steady. While we are vigilant in the agricultural sector, our portfolio has held up well thus far in the cycle. It is a focal point to build back the loan loss allowance at Central Bank in a prudent, yet expedient manner,” stated Mr. Funk. “While our reserve build was above our initial expectations this quarter, this build did not come as a result of widespread credit deterioration.  Rather, it came because we want to build back this reserve in a prudent manner.”
Investment securities totaled $518.0 million at September 30, 2015, or 17.4% of total assets, a decrease of $8.5 million, or 1.6%, from $526.5 million, or 29.2% of total assets, as of December 31, 2014. A total of $415.0 million of the investment securities were classified as available for sale at September 30, 2015, compared to $474.9 million at December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, the portfolio consisted mainly of obligations of states and political subdivisions (45.6%), mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (37.6%), and obligations of U.S. government agencies (5.2%). Investment securities held to maturity were $102.9 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $51.5 million at December 31, 2014. The increase of $51.4 million, or 99.8%, in held to maturity investments was due to the merger.
Capital Adequacy
Total shareholders’ equity was $290.7 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $192.7 million as of December 31, 2014, an increase of $97.9 million, or 50.8%. This increase was primarily attributable to the stock consideration issued in the merger and stock issued in a private placement, along with net income of $16.9 million for the first nine months of 2015, and a $0.6 million decrease in treasury stock due to the issuance of 28,892 shares of Company common stock in connection with stock compensation plans. These increases were partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to market value adjustments on investment securities available for sale, and the payment of $4.6 million in common stock dividends. No shares of Company common stock were repurchased in the third quarter of 2015. The total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio was 9.75% at September 30, 2015, down from 10.71% at December 31, 2014. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.33% at September 30, 2015, compared with 10.29% at December 31, 2014. Tangible book value per share was $18.67 at September 30, 2015, a decrease from $22.08 per share at December 31, 2014, due to the addition of $77.3 million of intangibles related to the Central merger.
“As we’ve long stated, our comfort level for tangible equity to tangible assets is in the 8.00% to 8.50% range. Our current level of 7.33% is under these levels, but we do feel comfortable that our earnings will allow us to build capital back into our comfort zone over the next two years.” concluded Mr. Funk.
