“We are seeing positive year-over-year trends in most areas of the Company, which resulted in a 5.4% increase in our core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings,” said Kevin Riley, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. “Compared to the first quarter of 2015, we generated improvements in our revenue, net interest margin and efficiency ratio. We anticipate further improvement in our level of profitability as we enter the seasonally stronger periods of the year," Riley continued.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

On April 18, 2016, the Executive Committee of Company's board of directors declared a dividend of $0.22 per common share payable on May 13, 2016 to owners of record as of May 2, 2016. This dividend equates to a 3.3% annual yield based on the $27.09 average closing price of the Company's common stock during first quarter 2016.

ACQUISITION

On April 26, 2016, the Company's bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank, entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Flathead Bank of Bigfork ("Flathead Bank"), a Montana-based bank wholly owned by Flathead Holding Company. With total assets of $231.6 million as of December 31, 2015, Flathead Bank operates seven branches in western and northwestern Montana. Upon closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2016, all Flathead Bank branches will become branches of First Interstate Bank.

“We were very pleased to further execute on our M&A strategy with the announcement of our acquisition of Flathead Bank. Flathead is a good cultural fit, deepens our penetration of the Gallatin and Flathead markets, and provides another catalyst for earnings growth. We look forward to completing this transaction and welcoming Flathead’s customers and employees to First Interstate Bank,” said Kevin Riley.
    
NET INTEREST INCOME
    
The Company's net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, decreased $480 thousand, or less than 1.0%, to $69.0 million during first quarter 2016, as compared to $69.5 million during fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to a reduction in recoveries of charged-off interest and one less accrual day during first quarter. Interest accretion attributable to the fair valuation of acquired loans contributed $1.6 million of interest income during first quarter 2016, of which approximately $549 thousand was related to early pay-offs. This compares to interest accretion of $1.3 million of interest income during fourth quarter 2015, of which approximately $327 thousand was related to early pay-offs. In addition, the Company recovered previously charged-off interest of $265 thousand during first quarter 2016, compared to $1.0 million during fourth quarter 2015.
    
The Company's net interest margin ratio increased 5 basis points to 3.54% during first quarter 2016, as compared to 3.49% during fourth quarter 2015. Exclusive of the accelerated interest accretion related to early payoffs of acquired loans and the impact of recoveries of charged-off interest, the Company's net interest margin ratio increased 11 basis points to 3.53% during first quarter 2016, compared to 3.42% during fourth quarter 2015.
    
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
    
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.0 million during first quarter 2016, compared to $3.3 million during fourth quarter 2015. The higher provision for loan losses in first quarter 2016, as compared to fourth quarter 2015, is reflective of increases in specific reserves primarily related to the loans of two energy sector borrowers, the application of historical loss factors to downgraded credits and an increase in the general economic loss factor applied to loans in the Wyoming market as a result of stress in the energy sector.
    
NON-INTEREST INCOME
    
Non-interest income decreased $3.7 million to $27.2 million during first quarter 2016, as compared to $30.9 million during fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to seasonal declines in fee-based revenues, particularly mortgage banking revenues, and lower returns on deferred compensation plan assets.
    
Mortgage banking revenues were $6.1 million during first quarter 2016, down from $7.3 million during fourth quarter 2015, primarily driven by a decrease in mortgage loan production. Historically, the Company's mortgage loan production is lower during the first quarter of each year and that held true in 2016. During first quarter 2016, the Company's overall mortgage loan production decreased 28%, as compared to fourth quarter 2015. Loans originated for home purchases accounted for approximately 59% of the Company's mortgage loan production during first quarter 2016, as compared to 66% during fourth quarter 2015 and 57% during first quarter 2015.
    
Fluctuations in returns on deferred compensation plan assets, which are included in other income, are offset by corresponding fluctuations in employee benefits expense and, therefore, have no impact on the Company's net income. Returns on deferred compensation plan assets decreased $1.0 million during first quarter 2016, as compared to fourth quarter 2015.
    
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
    
Non-interest expense remained stable at $60.9 million during first quarter 2016 and fourth quarter 2015. First quarter 2016 non-interest expenses included seasonally higher employee benefits and incentive compensation expenses. In addition, during first quarter 2016, the Company recorded one-time separation and special bonus expense of $1.2 million. These higher expenses were offset by lower commissioned pay, advertising and payment services expenses, which typically decline during the first quarter. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company began capturing certain software costs separately from equipment costs, resulting in an increase of approximately $2.0 million in other expenses and a corresponding decrease in occupancy and equipment expense during first quarter 2016, as compared to fourth quarter 2015. The Company's core efficiency ratio was 62.40% during first quarter 2016, compared with 59.62% during fourth quarter 2015 and 63.04% during first quarter 2015.

"During first quarter, we continued to focus on getting the right people, processes and technology systems in place to increase our efficiency and allow us to continue to grow our business," said Kevin Riley. "This focus on infrastructure will continue through all of 2016," Riley continued.
        
LOANS
    
Total loans were $5.2 billion as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Indirect consumer loans increased $29 million, or 4.6%, to $651 million as of March 31, 2016, from $623 million as of December 31, 2015 primarily due to the continued expansion of our indirect lending program within our existing market areas and increases in the average loan amounts advanced during first quarter. Commercial loans increased $33 million, or 4.1%, to $825 million as of March 31, 2016, from $792 million as of December 31, 2015, primarily due to continued business expansion in the Company's market areas. Commercial real estate loans decreased $29 million, or 1.6%, to $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2016, from $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2015, primarily due to the repayment of one large loan and increases in loan participations.
    
Total loans increased 6.4% to $5.2 billion as of March 31, 2016, from $4.9 billion as of March 31, 2015. Exclusive of acquisitions, total loans grew organically 5.7%, with all loan categories except agricultural real estate showing increases. Management attributes organic year-over-year growth to continued business expansion in the Company's market areas, particularly in the Billings, Gallatin Valley, Rapid City and Flathead markets.
    
DEPOSITS
    
Total deposits were $7.1 billion as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, the mix of deposits continued to shift away from higher costing time deposits into lower costing savings and demand deposits.
    
Securities sold under repurchase agreements decreased $45 million to $466 million as of March 31, 2016, from $511 million as of December 31, 2015, primarily due to fluctuations in the liquidity of our customers. All outstanding repurchase agreements were due in one day.
    
CAPITAL
    
At March 31, 2016, the Company exceeded all "well-capitalized" regulatory capital adequacy requirements. During first quarter 2016, the Company repurchased and retired 948 thousand shares of its Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $26.15 per share, which reduced period end common shares outstanding by 721 thousand shares after taking into account seasonal common stock issued under the Company's equity incentive plan and shares issued pursuant to stock option exercises. During first quarter 2016, the Company paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.22 per share, up from $0.20 per share a year ago.
    
CREDIT QUALITY
        
Credit quality remained stable during first quarter 2016, with non-performing assets declining to $77 million, or 0.89% of total assets, as of March 31, 2016, from $78 million, or 0.90% of total assets as of December 31, 2015. Non-accrual loans, the largest component of non-performing assets, decreased $2 million, to $64 million as of March 31, 2016, from $66 million as of December 31, 2015, primarily due to the movement of lower quality loans out of the portfolio through foreclosure. Other real estate owned increased $3 million, or 48.0%, to $9 million as of March 31, 2016, from $6 million as of December 31, 2015, primarily due to foreclosures on one residential real estate property and one land development property during first quarter 2016. Net loan charge-offs remained low at an annualized 0.07% of period-end loans.
    
Accruing loans past due 30-89 days were $25.0 million as of March 31, 2016, a 41.7% decrease from $42.9 million as of December 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a concentrated focus on completing loan renewals within 30 days to prevent current loans in the process of renewal from becoming past due.
    
Criticized loans increased to $347 million, or 6.6% of total loans, as of March 31, 2016, compared to $320 million, or 6.1% of total loans as of December 31, 2015. This increase in criticized loans was primarily concentrated in commercial and commercial real estate loans to borrowers in the Company's energy sector.
    
The Company's allowance for loan losses was $80 million, or 1.52% of period end loans, as of March 31, 2016, as compared to $77 million, or 1.46% of period end loans, as of December 31, 2015.

“While our overall asset quality improved and credit losses continued to be very low in the first quarter, we increased the level of reserves against our oil and gas portfolio to 11.7% in light of the challenging conditions in the energy sector. We are using very conservative assumptions in our collateral valuations and our oil and gas portfolio represents just 1.3% of our total loan portfolio. Accordingly, we believe that this portfolio will have a limited impact on our future financial performance," said Kevin Riley.

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 certain non-core revenues and expenses, including investment securities net gains or losses, acquisition expenses consisting primarily of travel expenses and professional fees, and nonrecurring litigation expenses. 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 may be presented before or net of estimated income tax expense.

In addition, the Company adjusts net income to exclude income tax expense and provision for loan losses. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in evaluating operating trends by excluding pre-tax amounts which the Company views as fluctuating widely based on economic conditions.

See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures table included herein for a reconciliation of the above described non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

(1) 
Average loan balances include non-accrual loans. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees net of deferred loan costs, which is not material.
(2) 
Interest income and average rates for tax exempt loans and securities are presented on an FTE basis.
(3) 
Net FTE interest margin during the period equals the difference between annualized interest income on interest earning assets and the annualized interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, divided by average interest earning assets for the period.
(4) 
Calculated by dividing total annualized interest on interest bearing liabilities by the sum of total interest bearing liabilities plus non-interest bearing deposits.
