SECOND QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Loans

Average loans of $16.6 billion increased $482 million, or 3% from the first quarter, and have increased $919 million on average or 6%, from the year ago quarter. Total average commercial loans grew $398 million, or 4% from the first quarter, and are up $854 million or 9%, from the year ago quarter.  Commercial and business lending average balances grew $338 million, or 6% on a linked-quarter basis.   Within commercial and business lending, the mortgage warehouse portfolio grew an average of $119 million during the quarter and accounted for the largest share of the growth.  Commercial real estate lending average balances grew by $60 million, or 2% from the first quarter.  Total average consumer loans grew $84 million, or 1% from the prior quarter.  Residential mortgage average balances grew $151 million, or 4% from the first quarter.  Home equity and installment loan average balances declined $67 million during the quarter.

On June 30, 2014, the Company purchased a $99 million participation in the Associated Bank branded credit card portfolio from Elan/US Bank, representing 45% of the total outstanding balance.

Deposits

Second quarter average deposits of $17.2 billion increased $183 million, or 1% compared to the first quarter and are up slightly from the year ago quarter.  Money market average balances increased $167 million, or 2% from the first quarter and accounted for the majority of the total average deposit growth.  Average time deposits continued to decline during the second quarter, and have declined $310 million, or 16% from the year ago quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Second quarter net interest income of $169 million increased $4 million, or 2% compared to the prior quarter and $9 million, or 5% compared to the year ago quarter.

Second quarter net interest margin was 3.08%, a decrease of 4 basis points from the 3.12% reported in the first quarter and a decrease of 8 basis points from a year ago.   The decrease from the first quarter was the result of a 5 basis point decline in asset yields which was partially offset by 2 basis points of liability cost management actions.  Total funding costs are now at 29 basis points, and total interest-bearing deposit costs are at 19 basis points, for the second quarter.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income for the second quarter was $72 million, down $1 million, or 2% from the first quarter and down $12 million, or 14% from the year ago quarter.  The decrease from the year ago quarter was driven by a $14 million decline in net mortgage banking income.    Core fee-based revenue increased $3 million, or 6% compared to the prior quarter, and increased $5 million, or 10% from the year ago quarter.  All core fee-based revenue categories increased from the first quarter with insurance revenue and service charges accounting for the majority of the growth.   

Total noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $168 million, essentially flat to the first quarter.  The efficiency ratio improved to 68% compared to the prior quarter ratio of 69%.  Occupancy expense declined $2 million from the first quarter related to the seasonal decline in contracted services, mainly snow removal.  Technology expenses increased $2 million from the previous quarter.

Taxes

Second quarter income taxes of $22 million were up $1 million from the prior quarter.  The effective tax rate for the second quarter was 32%.

Credit

Nonaccrual loans were up slightly, to $179 million compared to the first quarter, but are down 18% from a year ago.  The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans improved from the previous quarter and now stands at 1.05%.  Potential problem loans increased $68 million from the prior quarter related to the downgrade of a small number of credits.

Net charge offs of $3 million for the second quarter were down $3 million from the prior quarter, and are down $11 million from the year ago quarter. The second quarter provision for credit losses of $5 million was flat from the prior quarter.  The Company's allowance for loan losses was $272 million, equal to 1.59% of loans and a coverage ratio of 152% of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2014.

Capital Ratios

The Company's capital position remains strong, with a Tier 1 common equity ratio of 10.72% at June 30, 2014.  The Company's capital ratios continue to be in excess of the Basel III "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks on a fully phased in basis.

(1) Tier 1 common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by banking regulators, investors and analysts to assess and compare the quality and composition of our capital with the capital of other financial services companies. Management uses Tier 1 common equity, along with other capital measures, to assess and monitor our capital position.  Tier 1 common equity (period end and average) is Tier 1 capital excluding qualifying perpetual preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities.

(2) Efficiency ratio is defined by the Federal Reserve guidance as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net.  Efficiency ratio, fully taxable equivalent, is noninterest expense, excluding other intangible amortization, divided by the sum of taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net and asset gains / losses, net.  This efficiency ratio is presented on a taxable equivalent basis, which adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and investment securities.  Management believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources and it excludes certain specific revenue items (such as investment securities gains / losses, net and asset gains / losses, net).

(3) Ratio is based upon basic earnings per common share.

(4) Total revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, is the sum of taxable equivalent net interest income, core fee-based revenues, and other noninterest income categories, as presented on Page 2 in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Page 6 in the Net Interest Income Analysis.

(5) Core fee-based revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, is the sum of trust service fees, service charges on deposit accounts, card-based and other nondeposit fees, insurance commissions, and brokerage and annuity commissions, as presented on Page 2 in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(6) June 30, 2014 data is estimated.

(7) The Federal Reserve establishes capital adequacy requirements, including well-capitalized standards for the Corporation.  The OCC establishes similar capital adequacy requirements and standards for the Bank.  Regulatory capital primarily consists of Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 2 risk-based capital.  The sum of Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 2 risk-based capital equals our total risk-based capital.  Risk-based capital guidelines require a minimum level of capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets.  Risk-weighted assets consist of total assets plus certain off-balance sheet and market items, subject to adjustment for predefined credit risk factors.

(8) Tangible equity, tangible common equity and tangible assets exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.  These financial measures have been included as they are considered to be critical metrics with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.
