MBHI Midwest Banc Hlds (MM)

Midwest Banc Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:MBHI), the holding company for Midwest Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank” or “Midwest Bank”), reported results for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for the full year 2009. These results are unaudited as our independent auditors are still in the process of completing their audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

“After my arrival in May 2009, we immediately began to work to restructure and restore our capital. We have reduced costs aggressively, optimized our balance sheet to preserve regulatory capital, tightened underwriting standards, built a strong loan workout area in anticipation of growth in problem loans, and crafted and announced a credible Capital Plan. Our execution philosophy has shunned denial. Instead, we embraced full transparency in our communications with all stakeholders and the reality of the state of the economy, depressed real estate valuations and their impact on our loan book,” said Midwest CEO Roberto R. Herencia.

“We have been working diligently to achieve our Capital Plan. Its execution requires the restructuring of a complex capital structure in order to attract new common equity or a merger partner in the worst capital and economic environment in 75 years. We have been undeterred in our pursuit of the Capital Plan with the support of our people, customers and bank regulators. We are up to the challenge, redoubling our efforts and proceeding vigorously.”

“On January 22, 2010, we announced the success of our exchange offer, a critical component of our Capital Plan. An overwhelming 82 percent of the depositary shareholders of the Series A Preferred tendered their shares. This successful exchange will now facilitate the execution of the remaining building blocks of the plan: the conversion of the U.S. Treasury’s TARP preferred equity investment into common equity, the restructure of subordinated and senior debt with our primary lender, and final discussions with potential equity investors and merger partners.”

“I am proud to be part of this 50 year old community bank. Our energy is aimed at completing the remaining elements of our Capital Plan. Our vision is to build a new foundation for Midwest that will support long term growth and profitability. We serve a large and diverse group of communities that require our help, now more than ever,” said Herencia. “Supporting our communities, its residents and businesses, is top of mind for Midwest Bank. We are helping by being responsible lenders, supporting customers who are able to grow and create jobs and working with our troubled borrowers who need assistance in order to get ahead. Post Capital Plan, we envision being a more vibrant and willing lender in support of our communities and their efforts to create jobs.”

The Company reported a net loss of $119.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, and a net loss of $41.3 million for the third quarter of 2009. On a per share basis, the net loss per share for the quarter was $4.30, compared to net income per share of $0.11 in the fourth quarter of 2008 and net loss per share of $1.52 in the third quarter of 2009. Results for the fourth quarter include a $98.0 million provision for loan losses which, after deducting $52.7 million of net loan charge-offs, increased the allowance for loan losses to 5.6 percent of loans at December 31, 2009 from 3.4 percent at September 30, 2009. Fourth quarter results also include a $14.0 million impairment charge for goodwill.

The Company recorded a net loss of $242.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of $158.3 million for 2008. On a per share basis, net loss per share for the year was $8.89, compared to a net loss per share of $5.82 in 2008. The provision for loan losses was $167.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $95.9 million or 133.7 percent compared to the 2008 provision of $71.8 million. The full-year provision for loan losses, combined with $83.3 million of net loan charge-offs for 2009, resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $128.8 million, or 5.6 percent of loans at December 31, 2009 versus $44.4 million, or 1.8 percent of loans at December 31, 2008. The 2009 results include a $14.0 million impairment charge for goodwill. The 2008 results included $82.1 million of pre-tax losses on FHLMC and FNMA preferred stock and an $80.0 million impairment charge for goodwill.

“In connection with the execution of the Capital Plan and with the assistance of independent outside parties, management has performed cumulative loan loss studies under various methodologies and assumptions, including highly stressed scenarios, in order to determine our capital needs. We have also found these studies to be quite useful in assessing trends, managing, and planning for problem loans. We continue to closely monitor our loan portfolio and aggressively take action to resolve issues as they arise,” said Herencia.

Capital Plan Execution

• On July 28, 2009, the Company announced that it had developed a detailed capital plan and timeline for execution (the “Capital Plan”). The Capital Plan was adopted in order to, among other things, improve the Company’s common equity capital and raise additional capital to enable it to better withstand and respond to adverse market conditions and serve as a platform for future growth and profitability.
• On December 3, 2009, we launched the exchange offer for our Series A preferred stock. The final exchange ratio was set at 7.0886 shares of common stock for each depositary share of the Series A Preferred. On January 21, 2010, we accepted for exchange 1,414,941 depositary shares, representing approximately 82 percent of the 1,725,000 depositary shares outstanding prior to the exchange offer. The exchange offer generated approximately $35.4 million of additional common equity. The Company issued 10,029,946 shares of common stock for the 1,414,941 shares tendered in the exchange.
• We are in advanced discussions with the U.S. Treasury related to converting to common stock the $84.8 million of outstanding preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under its Capital Purchase Program in 2008. The U.S. Treasury previously delivered to us a letter expressing its willingness to consent to such a transaction, and we are currently in the final stages of negotiating the definitive terms of this transaction.
• As previously announced, on October 22, 2009, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with its senior lender effective through March 31, 2010. Management believes that the Forbearance Agreement provides the Company sufficient time to complete all major elements of the Capital Plan. The Company is also in advanced negotiations with its senior lender to restructure close to $80 million in subordinated and senior debt.
• The Company is also pursuing, as the final component of the Capital Plan, a new common equity raise, the proceeds of which would be used for general corporate purposes, including injecting capital into the Bank, or a merger with another bank holding company.

“The thesis behind our Capital Plan is straightforward: Midwest is capable of attracting new common equity investment because it operates an attractive and scalable banking franchise, has a capable new management team, and its sizable loan loss reserves and tangible common equity, post restructuring under the Plan, are sufficient to absorb cumulative loan losses in this cycle under an adverse economic scenario,” Herencia said. “We have been able to prove the first two premises of our thesis in our interactions with potential investors and the progress to date of the Capital Plan. We believe our negotiations with Treasury and our senior lender will pave the way to facilitating a final decision by one of the equity investors who has expressed serious interest in Midwest.”

Q4 Significant Events

• As anticipated, on December 18, 2009, we formally entered into a written agreement (the "Agreement") with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Banking. The Agreement is consistent with the expected regulatory actions that we previously disclosed, and we have already completed many of the steps referenced in the Agreement. We have been working diligently to address matters they have identified and look forward to resolving them with the regulators as quickly as possible.
• At December 31, 2009, the Bank was undercapitalized according to regulatory standards with a 6.41 percent total risk-based capital ratio and a 3.41 percent Tier 1 leverage ratio. These ratios must be 8.00 percent and 4.00 percent, respectively, for a bank to be considered adequately capitalized. As a consequence of the Bank being undercapitalized, the Bank will, among other things, be prohibited from renewing or accepting new brokered deposits, making capital distributions to the Company, and be subject to limits on asset growth and expansion. In July, we announced our Capital Plan designed to strengthen our capital position. As noted above, we made significant progress with the exchange of over 82 percent of the depositary shares of our Series A preferred into common, continued negotiations with the U.S. Treasury and further discussions with potential outside investors to invest additional equity capital into our Company.
• The level of the provision for loan losses recognized was 186 percent of net charge-offs in the fourth quarter and 215 percent in the third quarter. Management believes we are recognizing losses in our portfolio through charge-offs as credit developments warrant. The fact that our provisions are still well over our charge-offs shows proactive management in the recent difficult credit environment.
• The Company determined activities in the fourth quarter including the written agreement from the regulators and the decline in the Bank's regulatory capital position to undercapitalized constituted triggering events requiring an interim goodwill impairment test. As a result of that test, the Company recorded a $14.0 million goodwill impairment in the quarter.
• Liquidity remains high at the Bank. Liquid assets increased by $95.0 million during the quarter to $419.5 million.

Loan Portfolio

Average total loans decreased $108.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2009. From September 30, 2009 to December 31, 2009, loans outstanding declined $133.8 million, with almost half of this decline due to gross charge-offs of $53.3 million and transfers to foreclosed properties of $8.7 million. The average yield on loans was 5.01 percent in the fourth quarter, compared to 5.32 percent in the third quarter, with 83 percent of all loans tied to prime having interest rate floors in place and 79 percent of those loans currently at their floors. Most of the decline in loan yield was due to the increase in non-accrual loans.

The table below presents the loan portfolio, including the loan balances, amounts and remaining percentage availability and total loan commitments.

Asset Quality

In response to cumulative loan loss analyses performed in the second quarter of 2009 by expert loan review parties and internal staff, significant steps have been taken to improve the management of asset quality and problem loans. Under the leadership of a new Chief Risk Officer appointed in the fourth quarter of 2009, these efforts have resulted in tighter loan underwriting criteria, credit policy changes and a more disciplined loan approval and renewal process. Progress has been made in a short period to create a culture that rewards the early identification of problems, the appropriate downgrade of loan risk ratings and the free flow and timeliness of information shared between lending and credit risk personnel.

Portfolio management practices have been enhanced through more frequent and rigorous loan portfolio reviews for both performing and non-performing assets. In addition, the measurement and tracking of loan exceptions have been improved.

Importantly, the Bank has built a quality loan workout team over the last two quarters composed of internal senior lending and loan review personnel and outside workout experts with strong real estate background. The Bank has successfully leveraged its workout capacity by recruiting a third party, real estate workout expert firm to assist with the management of the largest and most complex real estate exposures. The creation and expansion of the workout group, together with weekly problem loan reviews, has provided the Bank with the ability to identify and manage problem loans at an earlier point in the cycle than was previously the case. This group provides the critical resources needed to restructure, collect, and maximize recoveries of problem credits.

In the fourth quarter, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $98.8 million and recognized net loan charge-offs totaling $52.7 million. Non-accrual loans increased $79.9 million, or 41 percent during the fourth quarter to $273.8 million, representing 11.8 percent of loans.

The table below presents certain loan quality information, including loan balance by type, amounts and percentage by past due and non-accrual status, amount of specific reserve, and full year gross charge-off amounts.

Non-accrual loans in the commercial real estate portfolio increased $51.0 million or 64 percent from the third quarter. The largest contributing sub-category within commercial real estate was non-owner occupied which increased $53.8 million. Non-accrual owner occupied commercial real estate loans decreased by $2.8 million due to charge-offs and transfers to foreclosed properties.

Non-accrual loans in the construction and land development portfolio increased $29.2 million or 36 percent from the third quarter. The largest contributing sub-categories within construction and land development were: condominium, which increased $20.0 million; land, which increased $12.0 million; and commercial construction, which increased $9.3 million. Other non-accrual construction and land development sub-categories decreased with the greatest decline in residential construction loans, which decreased by $10.0 million, due to charge-offs and transfers to foreclosed properties.

Credit Quality and the Allowance for Loan Losses

The length and breadth of the economic downturn, including record high unemployment and vacancy rates, is continuing to put pressure on our borrowers, reducing both their ability to support their borrowings from a cash flow perspective and the value of property pledged as collateral for those borrowings in the case of default. With a large concentration of our loan portfolio in commercial real estate, the Company experienced continued deterioration in its portfolio during the fourth quarter as both delinquencies on our commercial real estate loans increased and declines in related collateral values continued. In response, the Company has strengthened credit quality oversight and fine tuned probability and severity loss estimates.

Non-accrual loans increased $79.9 million or 41 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009 to $273.8 million or 11.8 percent of loans, from $193.9 million or 7.9 percent of loans at September 30, 2009. Although non-accrual growth of $79.9 million during the fourth quarter would appear to indicate a downward trend when compared to the $98.9 million previous 2009 quarter increase, loans transferred into non-accrual status were $140 million during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $113 million the previous quarter. The larger quarterly transfers into non-accrual status were partially offset by increases in both charge-offs and transfers to foreclosed properties. Fourth quarter gross charge-offs were $53.3 million compared to $17.7 million in the third quarter and transfers to foreclosed properties were $8.7 million in the fourth quarter compared to $4.3 million in the previous quarter.

The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2009 was $128.8 million or 5.6 percent of loans compared to $83.5 million and 3.4 percent of loans as of September 30, 2009. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans and partial charge-offs was 8.98 percent at December 31, 2009 compared to 5.07 percent as of September 30, 2009. The provision for loan losses (charge to income) for the fourth quarter was $98.0 million compared to $36.7 million in the previous quarter. The increase in the allowance for loan losses and $98.0 million provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter were primarily driven by an increase in non-accrual loans, and further deterioration in real estate collateral values supporting these loans.

The provision is determined by estimating the period end allowance for loan losses needed by examination of the current loan portfolio, and then deducting the previous ending allowance balance and net charge-offs during the current period.

In computing our allowance for loan losses, loans are segmented into pools with similar characteristics (collateral) and the allowance for these loans is estimated based upon Company historical loss experience adjusted for additional risks due to current portfolio characteristics including internal risk ratings, collateral type and location, and uncertainties in our market.

Non-accrual loans with balances over $300,000 are removed from the above pools and evaluated separately based upon estimated collateral values and/or cash flows available for debt service. Those estimated specific reserves are added to the estimates of losses by pool to compute the entire allowance.

As a result of the large influx of loans moving into non-accrual status during the fourth quarter, loans being evaluated for specific reserves increased by $70.7 million or 37 percent in the quarter and represented 11.3 percent of total loans at December 31, 2009, up from 7.8 percent at September 30, 2009. Specific reserves for those loans were $69.5 million or 26.5 percent of their respective loan balances as of December 31, 2009, compared to $59.4 million or 31.0 percent at the previous quarter end. The decrease in the specific reserves as a percent of loans evaluated individually from 31.0 percent to 26.5 percent was predominately the result of charging-off amounts considered uncollectible rather than improving collateral values or declining total loss estimates. Adding previously recorded partial charge-offs on these separately evaluated loans to their period end specific reserves indicates the Company’s total loss estimates on those loans increased to 45 percent on December 31, 2009 from 35 percent as of September 30, 2009, primarily due to larger decreases in estimated collateral values, especially in commercial real estate. Although ultimate disposition of these specific credits cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the total loss estimate is sufficient to capture the credit risk at this point in the credit cycle.

Liquidity

The Bank’s overall liquidity position improved, partially due to a $28.8 million reduction in the securities portfolio and a $68.9 million reduction in loans during the fourth quarter, net of gross charge-offs and transfers to OREO. Liquid assets, including excess reserves on deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank and unencumbered securities, increased by $95.0 million during the quarter to $419.5 million. Total deposits increased by $14.9 million or 0.6 percent compared to the third quarter.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin decreased 9 basis points from 1.83 percent in the third quarter to 1.74 percent in the fourth quarter. A majority of this decline was attributable to average loan volume decline and the impact of non-accrual loan interest reversals. Net interest reversals related to the $79.9 million increase in non-accrual loans and a decrease in interest income associated with the $133.8 million decline in the loan portfolio contributed to the $1.2 million decline in our net interest income. Our net interest margin was positively impacted by an increase in yield on the securities portfolio and the decline in cost of deposits.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for fourth quarter 2009 declined to $2.8 million from $3.7 million in the third quarter 2009. The sale of an investment in the third quarter also reduced noninterest income by $0.4 million for the fourth quarter; there was a decrease in securities gains of $0.2 million from the third quarter to the fourth quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for fourth quarter 2009 was $24.5 million, excluding a goodwill impairment charge of $14.0 million, compared to $22.5 million in third quarter 2009. The increase in noninterest expense of $2.0 million in the fourth quarter primarily reflects the impact of higher FDIC expense of $1.8 million. Non-reimbursable loan expenses related to impaired loans and insurance costs increased $0.8 million in the fourth quarter. Partially offsetting some of these costs was the impact of staff reductions and suspension of the 401(k) match, which began in the third quarter.
