Asset growth of $21.6 million, or 1.73%, from the end of the third quarter of 2016
Loan growth of $34.7 million, or 3.62%, from the end of the third quarter of 2016

Noninterest bearing deposits increase of $1.6 million, or 0.65%, from the end of the third quarter of 2016

JOLIET, IL, January 23, 2017 -- First Community Financial Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCFP) (“First Community,” “FCFP” or the “Company”), the parent company of First Community Financial Bank (the “Bank”), today reported financial results as of and for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016.
Net income applicable to shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $2.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with $2.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2015 were positively impacted by a negative provision for credit losses of $515,000. Pre-tax, pre-provision core income was $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 11.29% from $3.8 million in the same period of the prior year.
“We delivered a strong performance in the fourth quarter, driven by positive trends in revenue, operating efficiencies and asset quality,” said Roy Thygesen, Chief Executive Officer of First Community.
“We had another strong quarter of business development, resulting in organic loan growth of 15% on an annualized basis. We are generating well balanced loan production and seeing solid growth across all of our major lending areas.”
“We were able to create significant franchise value in 2016 through organic growth and the completion of our first acquisition. We intend to continue to execute on our core strategies in 2017, focusing on developing additional commercial banking relationships with small- and middle-market companies and exploring other acquisitions in our existing footprint that can strengthen our core deposit base. We anticipate another year of double-digit organic loan growth, increased operating efficiencies, and stable credit quality in 2017, resulting in further improvement in our overall level of profitability and additional value being created for our shareholders,” said Mr. Thygesen.







Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Loans
At December 31, 2016, total loans were $991.6 million, an increase of $34.7 million, or 3.62%, since the end of the third quarter of 2016, and $219.3 million, or 28.39%, year-over-year. The loan growth was the result of a continued strong loan pipeline along with results produced by the addition of six commercial lenders and one new leasing officer hired during the first quarter of 2016.
Commercial loans grew $6.9 million, or 2.52%, since the end of the third quarter and $102.2 million, or 56.89%, year-over-year. Commercial real estate loans increased $6.0 million, or 1.42%, since the end of the third quarter and $44.9 million, or 11.78%, year-over-year. Residential real estate loans grew $8.6 million, or 5.13%, since the end of the third quarter and $40.1 million, or 29.53%, year-over-year. Construction loans were up $7.5 million, or 18.83%, since the third quarter and $25.3 million, or 114.37%, year-over-year.

Deposits and Other Borrowings
At December 31, 2016, total deposits were $1.1 billion, an increase of $17.9 million, or 1.68%, since the end of the third quarter and $217.2 million, or 25.08%, year-over-year.
Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $1.6 million, or 0.65%, since the end of the third quarter and $51.8 million, or 26.42%, year-over-year. Interest bearing transactional accounts (NOW, savings and money market accounts) increased $28.1 million, or 5.85%, during the fourth quarter of 2016 and $136.0 million, or 36.52%, year-over-year. Time deposits decreased $11.8 million, or 3.48%, to $326.9 million at December 31, 2016, from $338.7 million at September 30, 2016, and increased $29.4 million, or 9.87%, year-over-year. The ratio of time deposits to interest bearing deposits was 39.13% at December 31, 2016, down from 41.35% at September 30, 2016.
Other borrowings increased $4.5 million, or 7.34%, since the end of the third quarter due to higher FHLB borrowings resulting from loan growth during the fourth quarter, partially offset by the payoff of our secured borrowings of $7.0 million during the quarter.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Fourth quarter 2016 net interest income was up $418,000, or 4.26%, from the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average loan balances, partially offset by a lower net interest margin.
The Company’s net interest margin was 3.42% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to 3.40% in the third quarter of 2016. The increase was due to the effect of the prime rate increase in mid December 2016.

Noninterest Income and Expense
Fourth quarter 2016 noninterest income decreased $1.9 million, or 67.62%, from the third quarter of 2016 and increased $3.0 million, or 54.33%, from the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease from the third quarter was primarily attributable to a $1.9 million bargain purchase option gain recorded in the third quarter related to the acquisition of Mazon State Bank.
Service charges on deposits decreased $4,000, or 1.38%, from the third quarter of 2016, which was primarily the result of a decrease in overdraft fees, partially offset by an increase in account analysis charges. Mortgage income was also up $45,000, or 26.63%, for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to the third quarter, as a result of higher mortgage sale volumes.
Fourth quarter 2016 noninterest expense decreased $140,000, or 1.98%, from the third quarter of 2016 due to reduced data processing fees following the integration of Mazon State Bank, partially offset by increased incentive compensation expense.

Salaries and benefits expense increased $497,000, or 13.04%, from the third quarter 2016 due to increased incentive compensation expense, partially offset by cost savings from the integration of Mazon State Bank. Data processing





fees decreased $433,000, or 61.86%, from the third quarter due to lower data processing conversion expenses following the integration of Mazon State Bank.
Asset Quality
Total nonperforming assets decreased $2.6 million, or 28.48%, to $6.6 million at December 31, 2016 from $9.2 million at September 30, 2016. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.52% at December 31, 2016 compared to 0.74% at September 30, 2016. The decrease was the result of the sale of $2.6 million in nonaccrual loans, $1.1 million in loans transferred to loans held for sale, and the charge-offs recorded in the quarter. This outflow was partially offset by new additions to nonaccrual loans.
The Company had net charge-offs on loans of $783,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to net charge-offs of $143,000 in the third quarter of 2016. The net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2016 primarily related to one loan relationship totaling $4.5 million that was placed on non-accrual status during the third quarter of 2016. At year-end 2016, $1.1 million of this relationship remained and was held for sale. This sale took place after year-end and this loan relationship has been paid off in full.
The ratios of the Company’s allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans and allowance for loan losses to total loans were 199.52% and 1.18% at December 31, 2016, respectively.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2016 of $183,000, primarily as a result of the growth in the loan portfolio.

(1)  This is a non-GAAP financial measure. In compliance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to pre-tax net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management believes the presentation of pre-tax pre-provision core income provides investors with a greater understanding of the Company’s operating results, in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP.
