These statements may relate to our future financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenues or earnings projections, or other financial items.

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.  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. See notes on page 35.

Mortgage Banking Appendix 24

 

Mortgage Banking Segment Overview 25  The Mortgage Banking Segment consists of three related business lines: Originations, Servicing and Portfolio  Originations includes both retail and third party channels. In 1Q 2017, approximately 77% of origination volume was generated by third parties, which includes our wholesale/broker and mini correspondent channels. We have been growing the retail origination channel in our core markets of Chicago and Michigan and, selectively, in other parts of the country.  Our current strategy, in general, is to sell most of our newly originated fixed-rate loans in the secondary market and to hold the majority of newly originated adjustable-rate loans in our loan portfolio.  We typically sell loans to government sponsored entities (i.e. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) with servicing retained. Selling loans with servicing retaining reduces origination revenue somewhat, but results in a stream of future servicing income as we feel servicing is an attractive investment.  In 1Q 2017, the Mortgage Banking Segment recorded $1.7 million of operating earnings, which was approximately 3% of total operating earnings for the Company.

Mortgage Banking Segment Summary Accounting Policies 27 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 35. 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 Appendix 28

 

Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliations 29 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 and the ratio of net non-interest expense to average assets with net gains and losses on investment securities, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, gain on extinguishment of debt and increases in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest income components of this ratio, and prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, merger related and repositioning expenses, branch exit and facilities impairment charges, loss on low to moderate income real estate investments, contributions to MB Financial Charitable Foundation and increases in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest expense components of this ratio, with tax equivalent adjustment for increase in cash surrender value of life insurance. 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. For the same reasons, management believes that the tax equivalent adjustments to tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance are useful. 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.
