Evansville, Ind. (February 1, 2016) – Today Old National Bancorp (the “Company” or “Old National”) (NASDAQ: ONB) reported 4th quarter 2015 net income of $32.0 million, or $.27 per share. These reported quarterly results compare to net income of $37.7 million in the 3rd quarter of 2015 and $29.3 million recorded in the 4th quarter of 2014.

Included in 4th quarter 2015 results were $11.1 million in pre-tax gains related primarily to the repurchase of 14 banking properties. Also included in the current quarter were $2.4 million in pre-tax charges related to continued efficiency initiatives as well as a $4.8 million pre-tax charge for a litigation settlement. Excluding the impact of these items, Old National would have reported net income of $29.4 million, or $.25 per share. Refer to Table 2 for Non-GAAP reconciliation.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, net income was $116.7 million, or $1.00 per share. This net income represents an increase of 12.6% to full-year 2014 net income of $103.7 million, or $.95 per share.

Old National Bancorp President & CEO Bob Jones stated, “Our strong 4th quarter performance provides a fitting ending to 2015 – a year focused on execution. Our continued loan growth, lower expenses and excellent credit quality metrics, combined with our latest partnership and entry into the state of Wisconsin, should position us for continued success in 2016.”


Committed to our Strategic Imperatives and 2015 Initiatives

Old National’s continued steady performance and strong credit and capital positions can be attributed to the Company’s unwavering commitment to the three strategic imperatives that have guided Old National for 10 years:

1. Strengthen the risk profile; 2. Enhance management discipline; and 3. Achieve consistent quality earnings.

Guided by these three strategic imperatives, Old National’s primary initiatives for 2015 were: 1. Continue to grow organic revenue; 2. Improve operating leverage; and 3. Prudent use of capital, all while maintaining a strong credit culture.

Grow Organic Revenue

Balance Sheet and Net Interest Margin

Total period-end loans, including loans held for sale, increased $95.5 million to $6.962 billion from $6.867 billion at September 30, 2015. Excluding the change in covered loans, Old National had organic loan growth of $102.0 million, or 6.0% annualized, in the 4th quarter. The Louisville, Kentucky market, including the Company’s new Lexington office, and the Indianapolis and Vincennes, Indiana markets were the best producing regions, increasing $21.1 million, $20.2 million and $14.5 million, respectively, over September 30, 2015, loan balances.

At December 31, 2015, total core deposits, including demand and interest-bearing deposits, decreased $259.0 million to $8.302 billion, compared to the $8.561 billion at September 30, 2015.

Net interest income in the 4th quarter of 2015 totaled $85.9 million compared to $97.1 million in the 3rd quarter of 2015, and $90.0 million in the 4th quarter of 2014. Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $91.1 million for the 4th quarter of 2015 and represented a net interest margin on total average earning assets of 3.50%. These results compare to net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis of $102.1 million and a margin of 3.94% in the 3rd quarter of 2015. In the 4th quarter of 2014, Old National reported net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis of $94.4 million and a margin of 3.83%. Refer to Table 6 for Non-GAAP taxable equivalent reconciliations.

As part of net interest income, Old National recorded $12.3 million, or a 48 basis point contribution to net interest margin, in accretion income in the 4th quarter of 2015 related to purchase accounting discounts from various acquisitions. Total accretion income in the 3rd quarter of 2015 and the 4th quarter of 2014 reported by Old National was $20.6 million, or an 80 basis point net interest margin contribution, and $16.6 million, or a 68 basis point net interest margin contribution, respectively. Excluding accretion income, the core net interest margin was 3.02%, 3.14% and 3.15%, for the 4th quarter of 2015, the 3rd quarter of 2015 and the 4th quarter of 2014, respectively.

Fees, Service Charges and Other Revenue

Total fees, service charges and other revenue represent an important component of Old National’s revenue stream and amounted to $58.9 million for the 4th quarter of 2015. This compares to $58.8 million in the 3rd quarter of 2015 and $45.6 million in the 4th quarter of 2014. Included in the 4th quarter of 2015 is a $10.8 million gain relating to the repurchase of 14 banking properties. Impacting the 3rd quarter of 2015 was a $15.4 million net gain relating to branch sales as well as a $6.6 million unfavorable change in the indemnification asset relating to the 2011 FDIC-assisted acquisition of Integra Bank. Impacting year-over-year comparisons is the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. This Amendment became effective for Old National beginning July 1, 2015, resulting in a decline in interchange income of $2.7 million in both the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2015 as compared to the 4th quarter of 2014.

Improve Operating Leverage

Old National reported total noninterest expenses of $102.5 million in the 4th quarter of 2015 compared to $102.6 million in the 3rd quarter of 2015 and $100.1 million recorded in the 4th quarter of 2014. Included in the 4th quarter of 2015 are $2.4 million in pre-tax charges related to various efficiency initiatives (including branch consolidations


and divestitures and severance) as well as a $4.8 million pre-tax charge for the estimated full cost of the anticipated settlement of the previously disclosed overdraft class action litigation. This compares to pre-tax charges of $2.0 million relating to branch sales and consolidations and integration charges in the 3rd quarter of 2015 and $3.1 million relating to integration activity in the 4th quarter of 2014. Also impacting year-over-year comparisons are the operational costs associated with the United Bancorp, Inc., LSB Financial Corp., and Founders Financial Corporation acquisitions, which closed in July and November of 2014, and January of 2015, respectively, adding 27 branches to the Old National franchise. As of December 31, 2015, Old National has 160 branches throughout its franchise.

Prudent Use of Capital

Old National’s capital position remained well above regulatory guideline minimums at December 31, 2015, with regulatory tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios of 12.6% and 13.3%, respectively, compared to 12.5% and 13.2% at September 30, 2015, and 12.9% and 13.6% at December 30, 2014. Old National repurchased 306 thousand shares of stock in the open market during the 4th quarter of 2015.

Old National’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 7.66% at December 31, 2015, compared to 7.56% at September 30, 2015, and 8.09% at December 31, 2014. Refer to Table 9 for Non-GAAP reconciliations.

Maintain a Strong Credit Culture

During the 4th quarter of 2015, Old National recorded provision expense of $.5 million and had net recoveries of $.5 million. These results compare to $.2 million in provision expense and net recoveries of $.9 million, and a provision expense of $.9 million and net charge-offs of $1.3 million, in the 3rd quarter of 2015 and the 4th quarter of 2014, respectively. Net recoveries for the 4th quarter of 2015 were .03% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared to net recoveries of .05% of average total loans in the 3rd quarter of 2015 and net charge-offs of .08% of average total loans in the 4th quarter of 2014.

Delinquencies remained low as Old National reported 30+ day delinquent loans of .31% in the 4th quarter compared to .41% in the 3rd quarter of 2015. Old National’s 90+ day delinquent loans for the 4th quarter were .01% compared to .01% in the 3rd quarter of 2015.

For the full year of 2015, Old National reported net recoveries of $1.5 million, or .02% of average total loans, and recorded provision expense of $2.9 million. This compares to the full year of 2014 with net charge-offs of $2.4 million, or .04% of average total loans, and provision expense of $3.1 million.

Old National’s allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2015, was $52.2 million, or .75% of total loans, compared to an allowance of $51.2 million, or .75% of total loans at September 30, 2015, and $47.8 million, or .76% of total loans, at December 31, 2014. The coverage ratio (allowance to non-performing loans) stood at 36% at December 31, 2015, compared to 33% at September 30, 2015, and 31% at December 31, 2014. Impacting these ratios are the Company’s recent acquisitions in which the loan portfolios were booked at fair value in accordance with ASC 805. Therefore, no allowance for loan losses is recorded on the acquisition date.

Anchor Partnership and 2016 Initiatives

“Our initial integration efforts in Wisconsin have reinforced our belief that not only is Old National entering dynamic markets, but we are doing so with a high quality team,” stated CEO Bob Jones. “This expansion of our footprint will be supported through the continued focus on execution in our current markets, which will continue to be guided by the same strategic initiatives that led to our successful 2015: 1. Continue to grow organic revenue; 2. Improve the operating leverage of the Company; and 3. Prudent use of capital. We believe the partnerships we have closed to date position the franchise in growth markets where our community bank brand and style bode well for our future performance.”
