You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These statements may relate to our future financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenues or earnings projections, or other financial items. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) expected revenues, cost savings, synergies and other benefits from the MB Financial-American Chartered merger might not be realized within the expected time frames or at all and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; (2) the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which could necessitate additional provisions for loan losses, resulting both from originated loans and loans acquired from other financial institutions; (3) competitive pressures among depository institutions; (4) interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior, net interest margin and the value of our mortgage servicing rights; (5) the possibility that our mortgage banking business may experience increased volatility in its revenues and earnings and the possibility that the profitability of our mortgage banking business could be significantly reduced if we are unable to originate and sell mortgage loans at profitable margins or if changes in interest rates negatively impact the value of our mortgage servicing rights; (6) the impact of repricing and competitors’ pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; (7) fluctuations in real estate values; (8) the ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers’ needs and developments in the market place; (9) the possibility that security measures implemented might not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a cyber attack or cyber theft, and that such security measures might not protect against systems failures or interruptions; (10) our ability to realize the residual values of our direct finance, leveraged and operating leases; (11) our ability to access cost-effective funding; (12) changes in financial markets; (13) changes in economic conditions in general and in the Chicago metropolitan area in particular; (14) the costs, effects and outcomes of litigation; (15) new legislation or regulatory changes, including but not limited to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and regulations adopted thereunder, changes in capital requirements to the Dodd-Frank Act, changes in the interpretation and/or application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry and changes in federal and/or state tax laws or interpretations thereof by taxing authorities; (16) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; (17) our future acquisitions of other depository institutions or lines of business; and (18) future goodwill impairment due to changes in our business, changes in market conditions, or other factors.

Lease Banking 23  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.  Lease Banking’s results are included in the Banking Segment of our earnings release.  Credit experience has been solid. Non-performing loans/total loans were 0.26% as of 9/30/2016 and annualized net charge-offs were 0.21% for the nine months ended 9/30/2016.  Revenues from Lease Loans and working capital financing are reflected in interest income See notes on page 33.

 

Direct Leasing Subsidiaries 24  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 debt (85% to 95% of the original equipment cost). MB Equipment Finance sources 50% of its capital 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.  Balance sheet classification for financial reporting: 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 $278 million at 9/30/2016.  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.  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.  We also broker maintenance contracts sold by equipment manufacturers to our customers covering equipment leased from MB as well as other equipment owned or leased by our clients. Equipment manufacturers 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 the third party vendor, as part of Lease Financing Fee Income for financial statement purposes. See notes on page 33.

Non-GAAP Disclosure Appendix 26

 

Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliations 27 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), core non-interest expense, net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis excluding acquisition accounting discount accretion on 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 or decreases in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest income components of these ratios, and prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, merger related and repositioning expenses, impairment charges, loss on low to moderate income real estate investments, contributions to MB Financial Charitable Foundation and increases or decreases in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest expense components of these ratios, with tax equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, as applicable; ratios of tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets; operating return on average assets, and cash operating return on average tangible common equity. 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, tax-exempt interest income 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 fully tax equivalent 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 net gains and losses on investment securities, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, gain on extinguishment of debt and increases or decreases in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest income components, and excluding prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, merger related and repositioning expenses, impairment charges, loss on low to moderate income real estate investments, contributions to MB Financial Charitable Foundation and increases or decreases in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest expense components, of the ratio of net non-interest expense to average assets, and by excluding each of these items, other than increases or decreases in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation, from operating 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.

 

Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliations 28 Ratio 2012 2013 2014 2015 2015 2016 Net interest margin 3.49% 3.31% 3.54% 3.63% 3.62% 3.55% Plus : tax equiva lent effect 0.24% 0.28% 0.23% 0.21% 0.21% 0.21% Net interest margin, ful ly tax equiva lent (FTE) 3.73% 3.59% 3.77% 3.84% 3.83% 3.76% Less : effect of excluding discount accretion on acquired Taylor Capita l and American Chartered loans 0.18% 0.28% 0.27% 0.22% Net interest margin, FTE, excluding discount accretion on acquired Taylor Capita l and American Chartered loans 3.59% 3.56% 3.56% 3.54% Years Ended December 31, Nine Months Ended September 30, (Annual ized) Net Interest Margin 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 ratios of tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax benefits, in determining tangible assets and tangible common equity. Management believes that the presentation of these measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial results, as they provide a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well as our capital strength. Managem nt also believes that providing measures that exclude balances of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that these are standard financial measures used in the banking industry to evaluate performance. 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. The following table reconciles net interest margin to net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis excluding discount accretion on acquired Taylor Capital and American Chartered loans for the periods presented:
