Lease Banking 24  Our lease banking group, which is part of the Banking Segment, has provided for over four decades the following banking services to independent equipment lessors located throughout the U.S.  Debt financing  Working capital financing  Treasury management services  Equity/residual investment in leases through partnering with customers  Debt financings (Lease Loans) are non-recourse loans to lessors, collateralized by lease equipment and underwritten based on the financial wherewithal of each lessee. They are included as commercial loans collateralized by assignment of lease payments (Lease Loans) in the commercial-related loan section of the balance sheet for financial statement purposes.  Lessees generally consist of investment grade Fortune 1000, federal government, large middle-market and health care companies  Most loans fully amortize over periods ranging from 30 to 60 months. No residual risk on Lease Loans funded with third parties.  Credit experience has been solid.  Non-performing loans/total loans were 0.01% as of 6/30/2017 and annualized net recoveries were 0.01% of average loans for 2Q 2017. See notes on page 33.


 
Direct Leasing Subsidiaries 25  Leases are originated directly throughout the U.S. by our three leasing subsidiaries, LaSalle Solutions, Celtic Equipment Finance and MB Equipment Finance, which together form the Leasing Segment in our earnings release. LaSalle and Celtic are customers of our Lease Banking group and generally finance much of their equipment cost with internal debt. MB Equipment Finance funds 100% of its leases internally.  The lease portfolio is comprised of various types of equipment including information technology, healthcare, material handling, general manufacturing distribution, and transportation equipment.  Lease income is recognized over the life of the lease so that at the end of lease term the residual amount approximates the fair market value of the leased equipment  MB’s leasing subsidiaries offer a broad suite of lease products, which, at the end of a lease term, may permit the lease to be renewed/extended, purchased, or the equipment may be returned and sold.  We also broker maintenance contracts provided by third party vendors to our customers covering equipment leased from MB as well as other equipment owned or leased by our clients. Third party vendors are responsible for completing any maintenance covered by a maintenance contract. Maintenance contract revenue is presented, net of the related cost of sales paid to third party vendors, as part of Lease Financing Fee Income for financial statement purposes.  Balance sheet classification: Direct Finance and Leveraged Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risk related to the equipment ownership are grouped with Lease Loans in the loan section. By contrast, for Operating Leases, the underlying equipment at cost and net of accumulated depreciation is reflected in Lease investments, net, which is part of other assets, and was $346 million at 6/30/2017.  Income statement classification: Interest income on Direct Finance and Leveraged Leases and accreted residual income on these leases are included in Interest Income. By contrast, Lease Payments on Operating Leases plus accreted residual income on these leases less any depreciation expense on the equipment are included in non-interest income Lease Financing Fee Income. Proceeds received as a result of lease renewals and equipment sales less any residual investment in the lease results in a gain or loss that is also reflected in Lease Financing Fee Income.

Mortgage Banking Appendix 26


 
Mortgage Banking Secondary Business Lines 27 Mortgage Banking Segment Secondary Business Lines Secondary Business Originations Servicing Portfolio Locations Operates in 44 states (with fulfillment located in MI and IL) Wilmington, OH Ann Arbor, MI General Business Description Originate mortgage loans for sale to investors and for the Company's portfolio through its retail and third party channels Service residential mortgage loans for various investors and for loans owned by the Company Hold for investment legacy fixed and adjustable-rate and newly originated adjustable-rate residential real estate loans Balance Sheet Fixed and adjustable-rate residential real estate loans held for sale Mortgage servicing asset and non-interest bearing escrow deposits Real estate loans held for investment See notes on page 33.


 
Mortgage Banking Segment Summary Accounting Policies 28 Originations  We enter into interest rate lock commitments when we originate mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market. These commitments are derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets with an offset to mortgage origination revenue. The changes in the fair value are recorded in mortgage origination revenue.  Held-for-sale loans are measured at fair value, with valuation changes recorded in mortgage origination revenue.  Market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale is managed using corresponding forward sale commitments. The fair value of these derivatives are based on dealer quotes and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as other assets or other liabilities. Changes in the fair value of these mortgage banking derivatives are included in mortgage origination revenue.  We enter into residential mortgage loan sale agreements with investors in the normal course of business. These agreements usually require certain representations concerning credit information, loan documentation, collateral and insurability. We maintain a liability for estimated losses on loans expected to be repurchased or on which indemnification is expected to be provided and regularly evaluate the adequacy of this recourse liability. See notes on page 33. Servicing  The Mortgage Banking Segment originates and sells residential mortgage loans in the secondary market and may retain the right to service the loans sold. Servicing involves the collection of payments from individual borrowers and the distribution of those payments to the investors.  We carry our residential mortgage servicing rights asset at fair value under the fair value option. Fair value is determined as the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, calculated based on a number of variables. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights asset include prepayment speeds, discount rates, maturities, delinquencies and cost to service. Changes in the fair value are recognized in mortgage servicing revenue.  We maintain a derivative portfolio of interest rate swaps, futures and forward commitments used to manage exposure to changes in our mortgage servicing rights asset. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivatives are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets or other liabilities. Changes in the fair value are recognized in mortgage servicing revenue.


 
Non-GAAP Disclosure and Footnotes Appendix 29


 
Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliations 30 This presentation contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include core (or operating) earnings, core non-interest income, core non-interest income to revenues (with non-core items excluded from both core non-interest income and revenues and on a (“FTE”) fully tax equivalent basis), core non-interest expense, net interest income on a FTE basis, net interest margin on a FTE basis, net interest margin on a FTE basis excluding acquisition accounting discount accretion on acquired Taylor Capital and American Chartered loans. Non-core adjustments to operating earnings include net gains and losses on investment securities, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, gain on extinguishment of debt, loss and recovery on low to moderate income real estate investments, merger related and repositioning expenses, branch exit and facilities impairment charges, prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, contributions to MB Financial Charitable Foundation and the income tax benefit resulting from the early adoption of new stock-based compensation guidance that was recognized in 3Q 2016 for all of 2016. In addition the increase in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation is excluded from non-interest income when calculating core non-interest income and the tax equivalent impact on the increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance is added to core non-interest income when computing core non-interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons. Management believes that operating earnings and core and non-core non-interest income and core and non-core non-interest expense are useful in assessing our core operating performance and in understanding the primary drivers of our non-interest income and non-interest expense when comparing periods. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income, net interest margin and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a FTE basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. Management also believes that by excluding or adjusting for these items from reported earnings, these measures better reflect our core operating performance, as the excluded items do not pertain to our core business operations and their exclusion makes these measures more meaningful when comparing our operating results from period to period. Management further believes that adjusting earnings for merger related and repositioning expenses is useful because it excludes expenses that can fluctuate significantly from acquisition to acquisition, based on the size and structure of the acquisition and the type of entity or business acquired. The non-GAAP disclosures contained herein should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
