EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Summary of 2014 Second Quarter Results

For the quarter, we reported net income of $164.6 million, or $0.19 per common share, compared with $151.0 million, or $0.17 per common share, in the year-ago quarter ( see Table 1 ).

Fully-taxable equivalent net interest income was $466.7 million for the quarter, up $35.2 million, or 8%, from the year-ago quarter. The results reflected a $5.9 billion, or 12%, increase in average earning assets, including a $3.7 billion, or 9%, increase in average loans and leases, as well as a $2.6 billion, or 28%, increase in average securities. These balance increases were partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease in the net interest margin. The primary items affecting the net interest margin were a 15 basis point negative impact from the mix and yield of earning assets, partially offset by a 5 basis point reduction in funding costs. During the 2014 second quarter, the unexpected pay-off of an acquired commercial real estate loan improved net interest income and the net interest margin by $5.1 million and 4 basis points, respectively.

The provision for credit losses increased $4.7 million, or 19%, from the year-ago quarter. This reflected substantial loan growth during the current quarter combined with a slight improvement in asset quality. NCOs decreased $6.1 million, or 18%, to $28.6 million. The consumer loan portfolios drove the majority of the decline, continuing the positive trend exhibited over the past four quarters. NCOs were an annualized 0.25% of average loans and leases in the current quarter, compared to 0.34% in the year-ago quarter.

Noninterest income decreased $1.9 million, or less than 1%, from the year-ago quarter. The results included a $10.9 million, or 33%, decrease in mortgage banking income, reflecting a 49% reduction in origination and secondary marketing revenue, as originations decreased 23%, and gain-on-sale margins compressed. The decline was partially offset by a $7.1 million, or 25%, increase in other income primarily related to commercial loan fees and credit card revenue, as our new credit card products were launched last year. In addition, service charges on deposit accounts increased $4.6 million, or 7%, reflecting an 8% consumer household and 1% commercial relationship growth and changing customer usage patterns.

Noninterest expense increased $12.8 million, or 3%, from the year-ago quarter. The results included an $8.6 million, or 92%, increase in professional services, $4.8 million of which is one-time consulting expense related to strategic planning. Outside data processing and other services increased $4.4 million, or 9%, reflecting higher debit and credit card processing costs and other technology expense. Equipment expense increased $3.8 million, or 15%, reflecting technology investments and the near-complete rollout of enhanced ATMs. The increases were partially offset by a $3.3 million, or 1%, decrease in personnel costs, reflecting the curtailment of the pension plan at the end of 2013, partially offset by annual compensation increases.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.38%, down 38 basis points from a year ago. Our Tier 1 common risk-based capital ratio was 10.26%, down 45 basis points from a year ago. The regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.56%, down 68 basis points from a year ago. All capital ratios were impacted by the repurchase of 28.7 million common shares over the last four quarters, 12.1 million of which were repurchased during the 2014 second quarter, as well as the issuance of 8.7 million common shares as part of the Camco acquisition. The decrease in the regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio reflected the redemption of $50 million of qualifying preferred securities on December 31, 2013 and an increase in risk-weighted assets caused by organic balance sheet growth, as well as assets acquired from Camco. These declines were partially offset by the increase in retained earnings.

Business Overview

General

Our general business objectives are: (1) grow net interest income and fee income, (2) increase cross-sell and share-of-wallet across all business segments, (3) improve efficiency ratio, (4) continue to strengthen risk management, including sustained improvement in credit metrics, and (5) maintain strong capital and liquidity positions.

We are very pleased with our second quarter performance. We have been able to grow both total revenue and net interest income year over year. Net interest income was particularly noteworthy, as average loan growth of 9% allowed us to overcome continued pressure on the net interest margin from the short-term, low, flat yield curve. We also completed $111 million of stock buybacks during the quarter, which demonstrates our belief in the future prospects of the company and our commitment to return capital to our shareholders.

Average loans and leases increased $3.7 billion from the 2013 second quarter, driven by growth in commercial and auto lending, reflecting heightened consumer and business confidence in the economy. During the quarter, we announced and received approval from the OCC for the deposit purchase included with 24 branches in Michigan, which is targeted to close in September. Also during the second quarter, we were the number one SBA lender, by number of loans, in the country for the first nine months of the program’s fiscal year, even though we only lend in our six-state footprint. We also gave customers more convenience during the quarter with the rollout of the Quick Balance feature to our mobile banking—one of the first of its kind in the country.

Economy

We are optimistic about the continued growth in our local economies and the growing benefit from previous investments, which are driving our robust pipelines. In addition, our footprint state unemployment rates have dropped sharply during the recovery and job growth should benefit from rising aggregate demand in the manufacturing sector in the next year. Also, housing activity and prices will likely continue on a moderate upward trend in line with long-term historical growth. Nevertheless, we continue to face a challenging regulatory and competitive environment.

2014 Expectations

Net interest income is expected to increase modestly. We anticipate an increase in earning assets as total loans moderately grow and investment securities increase modestly. However, those benefits to net interest income are expected to be partially offset by continued downward pressure on NIM. We continue to maintain a disciplined approach to loan and deposit pricing; however, asset yields remain under pressure, and the opportunity to reduce funding costs further is diminishing.

Noninterest income, excluding the impact of any net MSR activity, is expected to remain near the current quarter’s level. In July, we will implement the previously announced change in our consumer service charges on deposits that is expected to have an approximate quarterly negative impact of $6 million. We expect that continued organic consumer household and business relationship growth coupled with the completion of the Michigan branch acquisitions will help offset this reduction.

Noninterest expense, excluding one-time items, is expected to remain near the current quarter’s reported level. We will continue to look for ways to reduce expenses, while not impacting our previously announced growth strategies and our high level of customer service.

Asset quality metrics are expected to trend favorably, although moderate quarterly volatility also is expected given the low level of problem assets and credit costs. NPAs are expected to show continued improvement. We anticipate NCOs will remain within or below our long-term normalized range of 35 to 55 basis points.

The effective tax rate for the remainder of 2014 is expected to be in the range of 25% to 28%, primarily reflecting the impacts of tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged investments, general business credits, and the change in accounting for investments in qualified affordable housing projects.

Significant Items

Definition of Significant Items

From time-to-time, revenue, expenses, or taxes are impacted by items judged by us to be outside of ordinary banking activities and / or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by us at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. We refer to such items as Significant Items. Most often, these Significant Items result from factors originating outside the company; e.g., regulatory actions / assessments, windfall gains, changes in accounting principles, one-time tax assessments / refunds, litigation actions, etc. In other cases, they may result from our decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business; e.g., merger / restructuring charges, recapitalization actions, goodwill impairment, etc.

Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule volatility alone does not define a Significant Item. For example, changes in the provision for credit losses, gains / losses from investment activities, asset valuation writedowns, etc., reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as a Significant Item.

We believe the disclosure of Significant Items provides a better understanding of our performance and trends to ascertain which of such items, if any, to include or exclude from an analysis of our performance; i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust estimates of future performance accordingly. To this end, we adopted a practice of listing Significant Items in our external disclosure documents; e.g., earnings press releases, investor presentations, Forms 10-Q and 10-K.

Significant Items for any particular period are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact current or future period performance.
