 13  HighlightsInterest rate sensitivity profile of the loan and securities portfolios, in combination with a low cost core deposit base, positions us to slightly benefit from a rising interest rate environment.Net interest income increased 0.4% in 3Q’19 vs. 2Q’19 due primarily to a $109.4 million increase in average interest-earning assets and one more day in the quarter that were partially offset by an 11 basis point decline in the net interest margin.Commercial loans 53% fixed/47% variable (58% tied to Prime, 38% tied to LIBOR and 4% tied to a US Treasury rate). Mortgage loans (including HECL) 47% fixed/53% variable (22% tied to Prime, 57% tied to LIBOR and 21% tied to a US Treasury rate). Starting to see less pressure on deposit rates due to the decline of the federal funds rate/short-term interest rates and expectations for future FOMC rate cuts.   Net Interest Margin (TE)(%)  Net Interest Income ($ in Millions)   Net Interest Margin/Income 
 

 Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Details  Summary3Q’19 net interest income of $30.872 million was up $0.116 million from 2Q’19. The linked quarter increase was due to a $0.390 million increase in interest income and fees on loans that was partially offset by a $0.152 million decrease in interest income on securities and investments and by a $0.122 million increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings. The increase in interest income and fees on loans was due to a $86.896 million increase in average balance, one more day in 3Q’19 ($0.230 million increase in interest income) and an increase in interest recoveries, net on previously charged-off or non-accrual loans of $0.030 million (negligible impact on the overall average yield on loans) that were partially offset by a 13 basis point (bp) decrease in the overall average yield. The tax equivalent net interest margin (NIM) decreased 11 bp (3.76% vs. 3.87%) due to a 13 bps decrease in the yield on interest earning assets that was only partially offset by a 2 bp decrease in the cost of funds (interest expense as a percentage of average interest-earning assets). 3Q’19 discount accretion on the TCSB acquired loans of $0.376 million increased the NIM by 4.5 basis points. Overall, one more day in 3Q’19 increased net interest income by $0.160 million compared to 2Q’19. Average yield on new/renewed commercial loans was 5.02% on fixed rate (39.0% of production) and 4.95% on variable rate (61.0% of production), 3Q’19 volume of $122.7 million with an estimated average duration of 1.9 years. Average yield on new retail loans (mortgage and consumer installment) was 4.26%, 3Q’19 volume of $176.3 million with an estimated average duration of 3.9 years.Loan Portfolio DetailsCommercial loans: Interest income decreased $0.185 million due to a 12 bp decrease in the average yield (5.45% vs. 5.57%) that was partially offset by a $1.421 million increase in the average balance, one more day in 3Q’19 ($0.175 million increase in interest income) and a $0.079 million increase in interest recoveries, net (this increased the average yield by 3 bps). Mortgage loans (includes loans held for sale): Interest income increased $0.155 million due to a $54.358 million increase in the average balance that was partially offset by a 16 bp decrease in the average yield (4.49% vs. 4.65%) and a $0.049 million decrease in interest recoveries, net (this decreased the average yield by 2 bp).Consumer installment loans: Interest income increased $0.420 million due to a $31.117 million increase in the average balance, one more day in 3Q’19 ($0.055 million increase in interest income) and a 2 bps increase in the average yield (4.49% vs. 4.47%). Interest recoveries, net were virtually unchanged.Other FactorsSecurities and investments: Interest income decreased $0.152 million due to a 17 bp decrease in the average TE yield (2.94% vs. 3.11%) that was partially offset by a $6.921 million increase in average balance and one more day in 3Q’19 ($0.005 million increase in interest income).Deposits and borrowings: Interest expense increased $0.122 million due to a $63.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and one more day in 3Q’19 ($0.075 million increase in interest expense) that were partially offset by a 3 bp decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities (1.24% vs. 1.27%)   Analysis of Linked Quarter Increase  14 
 

 15  Cost of Funds AnalysisFocused on Balancing Deposit Retention and Funding Costs  Note: COF is average quarterly cost of funds; EFF is monthly average effective federal funds rate for the quarter; and Spot FF is the spot federal funds rate.  Historical IBCP Cost of Funds vs. the Federal Funds Rate  Note: Cumulative beta (change in COF divided by change in effective federal funds rate) was 8.6% from Q3’15 to Q2’17. Cumulative beta moved up to 40.3% from Q2’17 to Q3’19. The acceleration, was in part, caused by an increase in wholesale funding (brokered time deposits and borrowings, excluding subordinated debentures) from $118.8 million at 6/30/17 to $263.7 million at 9/30/19. 
 

 16  Non-interest Income  HighlightsDiverse sources of non-interest income which totaled $12.3 million in 3Q’19.3Q’19 total non-interest income represents approximately 28.4% of total revenue (net interest income and non-interest income).Service charges on deposits declined by $0.3 million, or 8.9%, in 2019 vs. 2018, due primarily to a reduction in NSF fees.Interchange revenue increased by $0.3 million, or 12.0%, in 2019 vs. 2018, due primarily to higher transaction volume and the timing of a volume incentive paid by MasterCard (in 3Q for 2019 vs. 4Q for 2018).3Q’19 net gains on mortgage loans totaled $5.7 million, which was up $2.9 million from 3Q’18, due primarily to higher loan sales volumes and higher fair value adjustments related to an increase in the mortgage loan pipeline.3Q’19 mortgage loan servicing includes a $2.2 million ($0.08 per diluted share, after tax) decrease in fair value adjustment due to price. 3Q’18 included a $0.6 million ($0.02 per diluted share, after tax) increase in fair value adjustment due to price.   YTD 2019 Non-interest Income Breakout  Non-interest Income Trends ($ in Millions) 
 

 17  Non-interest Expense  Highlights3Q’19 non-interest expenses of $27.8 million (an increase from 3Q’18 and from 2Q’19) were slightly above the projected range for non-interest expenses of $27.0 to $27.5 million. 3Q’19 compensation and benefits increased by $0.5 million over 3Q’18 due primarily to an increase in salaries that was partially offset by declines in health insurance costs and performance based compensation. The increase in salaries is primarily due to annual merit raises and growth in full time equivalent employees. The decrease in health insurance costs is due to lower claims in 3Q’19 relative to 3Q’18. The decrease in performance based compensation is primarily due to a lower accrual in 2019 for the incentive compensation plan based on actual year-to-date performance as compared to the accrual in 2018. Efficiency ratio: YTD 2019 – 65.8% (62.5% excluding FV change due to price on MSRs and FDIC Small Bank Assessment Credit), 2018 – 67.2% (65.0% excluding TCSB Merger related expenses); 2017 – 69.2%; 2016 – 73.7%; 2015 – 77.2%; 2014 – 80.3%; and 2013 – 82.6%.  Non-interest Expense ($ in Millions)

 2019 Actual Performance vs. Original Outlook  Category  Outlook  Lending  Continued growthIBCP goal of high single digit (8% to 9%) overall loan growth in 2019, primarily supported by increases in commercial loans, mortgage loans and consumer loans. Expect much of this growth to occur in the last three quarters of 2019. This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy.3Q’19 update: 3Q’19 and YTD’19 annualized portfolio loan growth of 2.3% and 7.2%, respectively. Expect to be slightly below the original goal of 8% to 9% loan growth for the full year due to portfolio mortgage loan sales/securitizations totaling $46.5 million in 3Q/4Q’19.  Net Interest Income  Growth driven primarily by higher portfolio loan balances, expect total deposits to grow by 3% to 4% in 2019 IBCP goal of approximately 10% to 11% increase in net interest income (NII) over 2018. Expect the net interest margin to be relatively stable to slightly higher in 2019. The forecast assumes one 0.25% increase in the federal funds rate in June 2019 and long-term interest rates up slightly over year end 2018 levels. 3Q’19 update: 3Q’19 and YTD’19 actual net interest income increased 4.0% and 11.2% from comparable respective period in 2018. Trimming forecast for the full year increase back to 8% to 9% over 2018 due to anticipated cuts in the target federal funds rate in 2H’19.  Provision for Loan Losses  Steady asset quality metricsVery difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels will be particularly sensitive to loan net charge-offs, watch credit levels, loan default volumes, and TDR portfolio performance as well as loan growth. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 0.96% at 12/31/18. A full year provision (expense) for loan losses of approximately 0.20% of average total portfolio loans would not be unreasonable in 2019.3Q’19 update: 3Q’19 and YTD’19 actual provision for loan losses of a credit of $0.3 million and an expense of $1.0 million, respectively, were below expectations due primarily to continued low levels of loan net charge-offs, new loan defaults and non-performing loans.  Non-interest Income  IBCP forecasted 2019 quarterly range of $11 million to $12 million with the total for the year up 4% to 5% from 2018 actual of $44.8 millionExpect mortgage lending volumes in 2019 to be generally comparable to 2018. Expect mortgage banking revenues (primarily gain on sale) to improve in 2019 due to some margin expansion. Expect service charges on deposits and interchange income in 2019 to be generally comparable to 2018. 3Q’19 update: Excluding $2.2 million negative fair value change due to price of MSRs, non-interest income was $14.4 million, or well above the high end of the projected range.
