Note 1 – Business Description

Midland States Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a diversified financial holding company headquartered in Effingham, Illinois. Its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Midland States Bank (the “Bank”), has branches across Illinois and in Missouri and Colorado, and provides a broad array of traditional community banking and other complementary financial services, including commercial lending, residential mortgage origination, wealth management, merchant services and prime consumer lending. We also originate and service government sponsored mortgages for multifamily and healthcare facilities through our subsidiary, Love Funding Corporation (“Love Funding”), based in Washington, D.C. Our commercial equipment leasing and finance business, which operates on a nationwide basis, was formerly conducted through our subsidiary, Heartland Business Credit Corporation (“Business Credit”), based in Denver, Colorado, and beginning in January 2018, was brought directly into the Bank as Midland Equipment Finance.

On February 28, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Alpine Bancorporation, Inc. (“Alpine”) and its banking subsidiary, Alpine Bank & Trust Co. (“Alpine Bank”), as more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Through the Alpine acquisition, we greatly expanded our commercial and retail banking presence in northern Illinois.

Our principal business activity has been lending to and accepting deposits from individuals, businesses, municipalities and other entities. We have derived income principally from interest earned on loans and leases and, to a lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on investment securities. We have also derived income from noninterest sources, such as: fees received in connection with various lending and deposit services; wealth management services; residential mortgage loan originations, sales and servicing; and, from time to time, gains on sales of assets. Our income sources also include Love Funding’s commercial Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) loan origination and servicing income. Our principal expenses include interest expense on deposits and borrowings, operating expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing costs, professional fees and other noninterest expenses, provisions for loan losses and income tax expense.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation    

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2018. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented herein, have been included. Certain reclassifications of 2017 amounts have been made to conform to the 2018 presentation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held for customers in a fiduciary or agency capacity, other than trust cash on deposit with the Bank, are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) amended existing guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. This amendment supersedes and replaces nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively referred to as Topic 606) on January 1, 2018. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and investment securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as commercial FHA revenue, residential mortgage banking revenue and gain on sales of investment securities, net are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest income streams such as wealth management revenue, service charges on deposit accounts, interchange revenue, gain on sales of other real estate owned, and certain other noninterest income streams. The impact of applying this standard to the Company’s consolidated financial statements was determined to be immaterial because the Company’s revenue recognition pattern for revenue streams within the scope of ASU 2014-09 did not change significantly from current practice. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method to adopt ASU 2014-09. We elected to implement this standard using the modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2018. Since the impact of applying the standard was determined to be immaterial, the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018. See “Note 18 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for further discussion on the Company’s policies for revenue sources within the scope of Topic 606.

 

FASB ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” – In January 2016, the FASB issued this standard, which is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. This standard, among other things: (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (v) requires an entity to present separately, in other comprehensive income, the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (vii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the Company now classifies equity securities, at fair value, separately from available for sale securities, at fair value. No impairment was recognized on equity securities as of January 1, 2018. In accordance with (iv) above, the Company measured the fair value of its loan portfolio as of March 31, 2018 using an exit price notion (see “Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).

 

FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This update revises the model to assess how a lease should be classified and provides guidance for lessees and lessors, when presenting right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. This update is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet decided whether we will early adopt the new standard. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company has developed a project plan for evaluating the provisions of the new lease standard, but has not yet determined the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is continuing to evaluate the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 and its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” – In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The objective of this update is to improve financial reporting by providing timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by

financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will use forward-looking information to better understand their credit loss estimates. For public companies that are filers with the SEC, this update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted for any organization for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has formed a cross functional committee that has overseen the enhancement of existing technology required to source and model data for the purposes of meeting this standard.  The committee is also in the process of selecting a vendor to assist in generating loan level cash flows and disclosures. While the Company generally expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, the Company cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is continuing to evaluate the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” – In February 2018, ASU 2018-02 was issued following the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which changed the Company’s federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%.  This standard allows an entity to elect a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  The standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018 although early adoption is permitted.  The impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not material.

 

FASB ASU 2017-02, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” – In August 2017, the FASB issued this standard the objectives of which are to (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities; and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The Company currently does not designate any derivative financial instruments as formal hedging relationships, and therefore, does not utilize hedge accounting. However, the Company is currently evaluating this standard to determine whether its provisions will enhance the Company’s ability to employ risk management strategies, while improving the transparency and understanding of those strategies for financial statement users.

 

Note 3 – Acquisitions

Alpine Bancorporation, Inc.

On February 28, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Alpine and its banking subsidiary, Alpine Bank, which operates 19 locations in northern Illinois, and which the Company intends to merge into the Bank. In the aggregate, the Company acquired Alpine for consideration valued at approximately $173.2 million, which consisted of approximately $33.3 million in cash and the issuance of 4,463,200 shares of the Company’s common stock. This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while $11.6 million of transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition have been expensed during 2017 and the first quarter of 2018, and remaining integration costs will be expensed in future periods as incurred.  

Centrue Financial Corporation

On June 9, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Centrue Financial Corporation (“Centrue”) and its banking subsidiary, Centrue Bank, which operated 20 full-service banking centers located principally in northern Illinois. In the aggregate, the Company acquired Centrue for consideration valued at approximately $176.6 million, which consisted of approximately $61.0 million in cash and the issuance of 3,219,238 shares of the Company’s common stock, 181 shares of Series G preferred stock and 2,635.5462 shares of Series H preferred stock. This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Transaction and integration costs of $1.1 million and $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively, were expensed as incurred.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the consideration paid is allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on current estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on assumptions that are subject to change, the consideration paid for the acquisitions is allocated as follows:

 

 

Prior to the end of the one-year measurement period for finalizing the consideration paid allocation, if information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are required to the allocation, such adjustments will be included in the allocation in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

Goodwill arising from the acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Alpine and Centrue into the Company. The goodwill is assigned as part of the Company’s banking reporting unit. The portion of the consideration paid allocated to goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The identifiable assets acquired from Alpine and Centrue included core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles, which are being amortized on an accelerated basis as shown above.
