MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Iowa City, Iowa, July 26, 2018 - MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq - MOFG) today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company had net income for the second quarter of 2018 of $8.2 million compared with net income of $7.2 million for the same period last year, an increase of $1.0 million, or 12.7%. Both basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.67 for the second quarter of 2018 compared with $0.59 per share for the second quarter of 2017.
President and Chief Executive Officer Charles N. Funk stated, “We have continued to show earnings improvement with excellent commercial loan growth, and improving profitability returns.  We also benefited from better mortgage loan and SBA loan activity during the quarter.”
Items impacting earnings comparisons between the second quarter of 2018 and the same period in 2017 include the following:
a $171.4 million, or 7.9%, increase in average loan balances between the two periods;
a $0.4 million, or 1.5%, increase in net interest income, due primarily to a $1.8 million increase in interest and fees on loans, partially offset by an increase of $1.2 million in interest expense on deposits;
an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.9%, in noninterest income; and
a $1.0 million, or 32.0%, decrease in income tax expense, primarily due to the reduction in the maximum corporate federal income tax rate to 21% for 2018 compared to 35% for 2017; partially offset by
an increase of $0.6 million, or 2.8%, in noninterest expense, due primarily to increased salaries and employee benefits of $0.4 million, or 3.7%.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $15.9 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 14.4%, compared to $13.9 million for the same period in 2017, with basic earnings per share of $1.31 and $1.18 for the comparative six month periods, respectively. The increase in net income was due primarily to increased net interest income of $1.6 million, or 3.2%, for the first six months of 2018 compared with the same period of 2017. The Company also realized a $1.6 million decrease in income tax expense between the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the same period in 2017, primarily due to the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate to 21% for 2018 compared to 35% for 2017. In addition, noninterest income increased $0.3 million, or 2.2% between the first six months of 2017 and 2018. These changes were partially offset by a $0.6 million, or 1.5%, increase in noninterest expense between the comparative six month periods.
Results of Operations
Net interest income of $26.6 million for the second quarter of 2018 was up $0.4 million, or 1.5%, from $26.2 million for the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to an increase of $2.1 million, or 7.1%, in interest income. A 6 basis point decrease in loan yield was more than offset by a $171.4 million, or 7.9%, increase in average loan balances between the two periods. Merger-related discount accretion saw a decrease of $0.6 million to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, with loan interest income increasing $1.8 million, or 7.2%, to $27.5 million for the second quarter of

1



2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. Income from investment securities was $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2018, up from $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2017, which resulted from an increase of $13.0 million in the average balance, partially offset by a decrease of 15 basis points in the tax equivalent yield between the two comparable periods. Interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 47.2%, to $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits of 19 basis points and an increase in the average balance of $128.8 million between the two periods. Interest expense on borrowed funds was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, up from $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.6 million, or 68.9%. This increase resulted from an increase of 38 basis points in cost, combined with a higher average balance of borrowed funds of $277.0 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $203.2 million for the same period last year, an increase of $73.8 million, or 36.3%, between the comparative periods.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $52.9 million, up $1.6 million, or 3.2%, from $51.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to an increase of $4.5 million, or 7.8%, in interest income. Loan interest income increased $4.1 million, or 8.3%, to $54.1 million for the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017, primarily due to a $157.8 million, or 7.3%, increase in the average balance of loans between the two periods. Loan interest income in 2018 also benefited from a 1 basis point increase in average loan yield, which included the effect of a decrease in the discount accretion related to the merger in 2015 of the Company with Central Bancshares, Inc. (“Central”), to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Interest income on investment securities rose $0.4 million, or 5.0%, to $8.9 million for the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 primarily due to an increase of $6.9 million in the average balance between the comparative periods. These income increases were partially offset by an increase of $2.9 million, or 40.9%, in interest expense, to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $7.2 million for the first six months of 2017. Interest expense on deposits increased $2.1 million, or 38.0%, to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $126.6 million, or 6.3% between the two periods. Interest expense related to borrowings rose $0.8 million, or 50.4% between the two periods, primarily due to a 35 basis point increase in average rate for the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.
The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2018, calculated on a fully tax-equivalent basis, was 3.65%, or 26 basis points lower than the net interest margin of 3.91% for the second quarter of 2017. The yield on loans decreased 6 basis points and the tax equivalent yield on investment securities decreased by 15 basis points, primarily due to the reduction in the federal income tax rate, resulting in the yield on interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2018 being 6 basis points lower compared to the second quarter of 2017. The cost of deposits increased 19 basis points, while the average cost of borrowings was higher by 38 basis points for the second quarter of 2018, compared to the second quarter of 2017, reflecting the increasing interest rate environment. The Company also posted a net interest margin of 3.67% for the first six months of 2018, down 18 basis points from the net interest margin of 3.85% for the same period in 2017. For the first six months of 2018 compared with 2017, a 1 basis point increase in tax equivalent loan yields and a higher volume of average loans, coupled with a 17 basis point tax equivalent yield decrease on a higher average balance of investment securities, resulted in an overall 1 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets. On the liability side of the balance sheet, a 32 basis point increase in the cost of certificates of deposit was due primarily to the increasing interest rate environment. This, combined with an increase in the cost of borrowed funds of 35 basis points, were the primary factors in a 20 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.
“For more than a year, we have been concerned about margin compression due to increasing pressure on deposit costs,” said Mr. Funk. “While our net interest margin has been negatively affected by less loan discount accretion income in 2018 compared to 2017, our “core” margin has also been compressing a few basis points per quarter.  The flat yield curve tends to exacerbate this compression.”
For the second quarter of 2018, the provision for loan losses was $1.2 million, approximately the same as for the second quarter of 2017. A higher allowance level due to the increase in the balance of loans outstanding was offset by an improvement in the level of nonperforming loans between the comparative periods. For the first six months of 2018, the provision for loan losses increased by $0.8 million, or 35.9%, to $3.1 million, compared to $2.3 million for the first six months of 2017. This increase was primarily due to loan growth (excluding loans held for sale) of $77.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to loan growth (excluding loans held for sale) of $32.4 million for the same period in 2017, combined with some continued indicated weakness in the agricultural sector in 2018. The Company’s allowance for loan losses to total non-acquired loans ratio the second quarter of 2018 was 1.43%.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2018 increased $0.1 million, or 1.9%, to $5.5 million from $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. The greatest increase was in loan origination and servicing fees, which increased

2



$0.2 million, or 26.2%, from $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2017 to $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in SBA loan sale premiums earned in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, partially offset by a lower level of loans originated and sold on the secondary market in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, a result of the general decrease in mortgage activity in the Company’s markets. Other service charges and fees increased $0.1 million, or 5.7%, to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2018 from $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to $0.1 million in origination fees on derivatives in the second quarter of 2018, compared to none in the same period last year. Bank-owned life insurance income increased $0.1 million, or 24.8%, due to the purchase of an additional $11.2 million of insurance in the fourth quarter of 2017. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other gain (loss) of $0.1 million between the second quarter of 2018 and the second quarter of 2017, due primarily to increased losses on the sale of other real estate owned. Other gain (loss) represents gains and losses on the sale other real estate owned, derivatives, and other assets, and the mark-to-market of equity securities. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts decreased $0.1 million, or 7.9%, to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to decreased service charges on deposit accounts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, noninterest income increased $0.3 million, or 2.2%, to $11.2 million from $10.9 million during the same period of 2017. This increase was primarily due to loan origination and servicing fees, which increased $0.3 million, or 21.5%, between the comparative periods. This increase was primarily due to the recovery of interest and collection expenses on a charged-off loan in the amount of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by a lower level of loans originated and sold on the secondary market for the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017, a result of the general decrease in mortgage activity in the Company’s markets. Bank-owned life insurance income increased $0.2 million between the comparative 2017 and 2018 periods due to the purchase of an additional $11.2 million of insurance in the fourth quarter of 2017. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million, or 8.4%, in service charges and fees on deposit accounts to $2.3 million for the first six months of 2018 compared with $2.5 million for the same period in 2017 primarily due to decreased service charges on demand deposit and money market accounts.
Second quarter 2018 noninterest expense was $20.5 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 2.8%, from $20.0 million for the second quarter of 2017. Salaries and employee benefits increased $0.4 million, or 3.7%, from $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2017 to $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to normal annual salary and personnel adjustments. Occupancy and equipment expense, net, increased $0.2 million, or 6.8%, to $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2017, due primarily to increased software licensing expenses. In addition, data processing expense rose $0.1 million, or 26.1%, to $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, due mainly to higher financial services technology costs. Partially offsetting these increases, amortization of intangible asset expense decreased $0.2 million, or 26.7%, and professional fees decreased $0.1 million, or 7.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Noninterest expense increased to $40.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared with $40.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $0.6 million, or 1.5%, with salaries and employee benefits showing the greatest increase of $0.9 million, or 3.9%, from $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to normal annual salary and personnel adjustments. Occupancy and equipment expense, net, increased $0.2 million, or 2.4%, to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $6.3 million for the same period last year, due primarily to increased software licensing expenses. Data processing expense rose $0.1 million, or 9.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to higher financial services technology costs. Partially offsetting these increases, amortization of intangible asset expense decreased $0.4 million, or 24.6%, and professional fees decreased $0.3 million, or 14.8%, primarily due to lower legal fees, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Income tax expense was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2017, and income tax expense for first six months of 2018 was $4.1 million, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease in income tax expense in 2018 compared to the comparable periods in 2017 was primarily due to the reduction in the maximum corporate federal income tax rate to 21% for 2018 compared to 35% for 2017 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted by the U.S. government on December 22, 2017.
Balance Sheet and Asset Quality
Total assets were $3.28 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $64.0 million, or 2.0% from December 31, 2017. Loans held for investment, net of unearned income, increased $77.3 million, or 3.4%, from $2.29 billion at December 31, 2017 to $2.36 billion at June 30, 2018. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in investment

3



securities of $9.3 million, or 1.4%, combined with a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $7.7 million, or 15.1%. Total deposits at June 30, 2018, were $2.60 billion, a decrease of $1.1 million from December 31, 2017. The mix of deposits saw increases between December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 of $32.3 million, or 4.6%, in certificates of deposit, $7.9 million, or 1.7%, in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, and $3.4 million, or 1.6%, in savings deposits. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $44.7 million, or 3.6%, in interest-bearing checking deposits between December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018. Between December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, federal funds purchased rose $51.4 million, to $52.4 million compared to $1.0 million, while securities sold under agreements to repurchase declined $21.2 million, due to normal cash need fluctuations by customers. FHLB borrowings rose $28.0 million, or 24.3%, between the two dates. The overall increase in borrowings was the result of growth in the loan portfolio exceeding deposit growth. At June 30, 2018, long-term debt had an outstanding balance of $10.0 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 20.0%, from December 31, 2017, due to normal scheduled repayments.
Loans held for investment, net of unearned income, (excluding loans held for sale) increased $77.3 million, or 3.4%, from $2.29 billion at December 31, 2017, to $2.36 billion at June 30, 2018. The mix of loans saw increases between December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, primarily concentrated in construction and development, commercial real estate-other, and commercial and industrial. Decreases occurred in multifamily, agricultural, and residential real estate. As of June 30, 2018, the largest category of loans was commercial real estate loans, comprising approximately 53% of the portfolio, of which 9% of total loans were construction and development, 6% of total loans were multifamily residential mortgages, and 4% of total loans were farmland. Commercial and industrial loans was the next largest category at 22% of total loans, followed by residential real estate loans at 20%, agricultural loans at 4%, and consumer loans at 2%. Included in these totals are $18.2 million, net of a discount of $1.1 million, or 0.8% of the total loan portfolio, in purchased credit impaired loans as a result of the merger between the Company and Central in 2015.
Nonperforming loans decreased from $23.9 million, or 1.04% of loans held for investment, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2017, to $21.6 million, or 0.91%, at June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2018, nonperforming loans consisted of $13.1 million in nonaccrual loans, $8.4 million in troubled debt restructures (“TDRs”) and $0.2 million in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. This compares to nonaccrual loans of $14.8 million, TDRs of $8.9 million, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest of $0.2 million at December 31, 2017. Nonaccrual loans decreased $1.7 million between December 31, 2017, and June 30, 2018, which was primarily driven by net charge-offs of $0.4 million in the first six months of 2018 and $2.7 million of principal payments on these loans, partially offset by 22 loans (17 of them having a balance less than $100,000) being added to nonaccrual status in the first six months of 2018 for $1.4 million. The balance of TDRs decreased $0.5 million between these two dates, primarily due to payments collected from TDR-status borrowers totaling $0.2 million, and two loans totaling $0.3 million moving to non-disclosed status. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest decreased $0.1 million between December 31, 2017, and June 30, 2018. Loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest (not included in the nonperforming loan totals) decreased to $4.4 million at June 30, 2018, compared with $8.4 million at December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018, other real estate owned (not included in nonperforming loans) was $0.7 million, down from $2.0 million of other real estate owned at December 31, 2017. During the first six months of 2018, the Company had a net decrease of 12 properties in other real estate owned. As of June 30, 2018, the allowance for loan losses was $30.8 million, or 1.30% of total loans, compared with $28.1 million, or 1.23% of total loans at December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses represented 142.72% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2018, compared with 117.59% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2017. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, or an annualized 0.03% of average loans outstanding, compared to net charge-offs of $1.6 million, or an annualized 0.15% of average loans outstanding, for the same period of 2017.
Mr. Funk continued, “Our coverage of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets has returned to a level more in line with our historical norm at 142.72%.  We are encouraged by the low level of charge-offs in the second quarter and for the first six months of this year. The agricultural sector remains under stress, but we continue to emphasize that we believe charge-offs will be limited in this sector as our collateral margins remain solid on most loans.  We believe the main effect on the Company from the weak agricultural economy will be a slightly elevated allowance for loan losses.”
Non-acquired loans with a balance of $2.10 billion had $30.0 million of the allowance for loan losses allocated to them at June 30, 2018, providing an allocated allowance for loan loss to non-acquired loan ratio of 1.43%. Non-acquired loans are total loans minus those loans acquired in the Central merger. New loans and renewed loans made after the merger are considered non-acquired loans.

Investment securities totaled $634.0 million at June 30, 2018, or 19.4% of total assets, a decrease of $9.3 million, from $643.3 million, or 20.0% of total assets, as of December 31, 2017. A total of $438.3 million of the investment securities were classified as available for sale at June 30, 2018, compared to $445.3 million at December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the portfolio consisted mainly of obligations of states and political subdivisions (42.4%), mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (40.9%), corporate debt securities (15.8%), and obligations of U.S. government agencies (0.9%). Investment securities held to maturity were $192.9 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $195.6 million at December 31, 2017, and equity securities were $2.8 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2017.
Capital
Total shareholders’ equity was $346.2 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to $340.3 million as of December 31, 2017, an increase of $5.9 million, or 1.7%. This increase was primarily attributable to net income of $15.9 million for the first six months of 2018. This increase was partially offset by a $4.8 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to market value adjustments on investment securities available for sale and the payment of $4.8 million in common stock dividends. In addition, there was a $0.4 million increase in treasury stock due to the repurchase of 33,998 shares of Company common stock at a cost of $1.1 million, partially offset by the issuance of 35,494 shares of Company common stock in connection with stock compensation plans during the first six months of 2018. The total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio was 10.57% at June 30, 2018, down from 10.59% at December 31, 2017. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) was 8.48% at June 30, 2018, compared with 8.44% at December 31, 2017. Book value was $28.33 per share at June 30, 2018, an increase from $27.85 per share at December 31, 2017. Tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $22.22 at June 30, 2018, an increase from $21.67 per share at December 31, 2017.
“Our tangible equity to tangible assets ratio is currently in our desired strategic range of 8.00% to 8.50%.  We believe we have good flexibility to support continued organic growth in our balance sheet,” concluded Mr. Funk.  
Quarterly Cash Dividend Declared
On July 17, 2018, the Company’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.195 per common share, the same as the dividend paid in the previous two quarters. The dividend is payable September 17, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2018. At this quarterly rate, the indicated annual cash dividend is equal to $0.78 per common share.

Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have an impact on our ability to achieve operating results, growth plan goals and future prospects include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) credit quality deterioration or pronounced and sustained reduction in real estate market values causing an increase in the allowance for credit losses, an increase in the provision for loan losses, and a reduction in net earnings; (2) our management’s ability to reduce and effectively manage interest rate risk and the impact of interest rates in general on the volatility of our net interest income; (3) changes in the economic environment, competition, or other factors that may affect our ability to acquire loans or influence the anticipated growth rate of loans and deposits and the quality of the loan portfolio and loan and deposit pricing; (4) fluctuations in the value of our investment securities; (5) governmental monetary and fiscal policies; (6) legislative and regulatory changes, including changes in banking, securities, trade, and tax laws and regulations and their application by our regulators and changes in the scope and cost of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance and other coverages; (7) the ability to attract and retain key executives and employees experienced in banking and financial services; (8) the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses to absorb the amount of actual losses inherent in our existing loan portfolio; (9) our ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to compete effectively in the marketplace; (10) credit risks and risks from concentrations (by geographic area and by industry) within our loan portfolio; (11) the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds, and other financial institutions operating in our markets or elsewhere or providing similar services; (12) the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowances for loan losses and estimation of values of collateral and various financial assets and liabilities; (13) the risks of mergers, including, without limitation, the related time and costs of implementing such transactions, integrating operations as part of these transactions and possible failures to achieve expected gains, revenue growth and/or expense savings from such transactions; (14) volatility of rate-sensitive deposits; (15) operational risks, including data processing system failures or fraud; (16) asset/liability matching risks and liquidity risks; (17) the costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation; (18) changes in general economic or industry conditions, nationally, internationally or in the communities in which we conduct business; (19) changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting Standards Board; (20) war or terrorist activities which may cause further deterioration in the economy or cause instability in credit markets; (21) cyber-attacks; (22) the imposition of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies impacting the value of the agricultural or other products of our borrowers; and (23) other risk factors detailed from time to time in Securities and Exchange Commission filings made by the Company.

Non-GAAP Presentations:
Certain non-GAAP ratios and amounts are provided to evaluate and measure the Company’s operating performance and financial condition, including tangible book value per share, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, return on average tangible equity, net interest margin, and the efficiency ratio. Management believes this data provides investors with pertinent information regarding the Company’s profitability, financial condition and capital adequacy and how management evaluates such metrics internally.  The following tables provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
