Associated Banc-Corp Reports Third Quarter 2019 Earnings of $0.49 Per Common Share,
or $0.50 Per Common Share Excluding $2 million in Acquisition Related Costs1,
Year-to-Date Earnings Per Share up 7% from Prior Year

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- October 24, 2019 -- Associated Banc-Corp (NYSE: ASB) ("Associated" or "Company") today reported net income available to common equity ("earnings") of $80 million, or $0.49 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. These amounts compare to net income available to common equity of $84 million, or $0.48 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Earnings for the first nine months of 2019 were $1.48 per common share compared to $1.38 per common share in the same period last year.
“We were pleased with our bottom-line results in the third quarter. We benefited from strong mortgage banking revenue and improving credit quality trends which drove our earnings per share," said President and CEO Philip B. Flynn. "We continued to reposition funding sources and adjust our securities portfolio, resulting in a lower cost of funds, smaller balance sheet, and more capital flexibility. We anticipate additional funding changes as we continue to fine-tune our balance sheet for a lower rate environment."

1This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes these measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators, and analysts to evaluate the adequacy of earnings per common share, provide greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods. See page 10 of the attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures which exclude acquisition related costs.





Loans
Third quarter 2019 average loans of $23.3 billion were up $278 million, or 1%, from the year ago quarter, but declined $102 million from the second quarter.
With respect to third quarter 2019 average balances by loan category:
•
Commercial and business lending increased $564 million from the year ago quarter but decreased $119 million from the second quarter to $8.5 billion. General commercial lending drove the increase from the year ago quarter while planned de-risking of the oil & gas portfolio contributed to the decrease from the second quarter.
•
Consumer lending decreased $22 million from the year ago quarter and decreased $9 million from the second quarter to $9.6 billion.
•
Commercial real estate lending decreased $264 million from the year ago quarter to $5.2 billion. However, CRE increased $26 million from the second quarter as strong production continued to outpace paydown activity.

Investments
Third quarter 2019 average investment securities of $6.0 billion were purposefully decreased by $968 million, or 14% from the year ago quarter, and decreased by $516 million from the second quarter as the Company used its investment portfolio as a source of funds during the third quarter, seeking to reposition its balance sheet for a declining rate environment.
•
Taxable securities decreased $1.3 billion from the year ago quarter and decreased $491 million from the second quarter as lower yielding, primarily mortgage backed securities were sold.
•
Tax-exempt securities increased $291 million from the year ago quarter but decreased $25 million from the second quarter.



Deposits
Third quarter 2019 average deposits of $25.2 billion were up $505 million, or 2% from the year ago quarter and were up $120 million compared to the second quarter. Deposit inflows from the Huntington branch acquisition that closed in June were used to pay down network transaction deposits and other higher-cost funding.
With respect to third quarter 2019 average balances by deposit category:
•
Savings increased $716 million from the year ago quarter and increased $299 million from the second quarter to $2.6 billion.
•
Interest-bearing demand deposits increased $464 million from the year ago quarter and increased $468 million from the second quarter to $5.5 billion.
•
Time deposits increased $129 million from the year ago quarter but decreased $437 million from the second quarter to $3.1 billion.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Third quarter 2019 net interest income of $206 million was down 6%, or $13 million, and the net interest margin decreased 11 basis points to 2.81% from the year ago quarter. Third quarter 2019 net interest income decreased 3%, or $7 million, and the net interest margin decreased six basis points from the prior quarter. The decreases were driven by compression in LIBOR rates outpacing reductions in funding costs. The net interest margin for the first nine months of 2019 was 2.86%.
•
The average yield on total commercial loans for the third quarter of 2019 decreased seven basis points to 4.66% from the year ago quarter, and decreased 28 basis points from the prior quarter.
•
The average cost of total interest-bearing deposits for the third quarter of 2019 increased 20 basis points to 1.23% from the year ago quarter but decreased 12 basis points from the prior quarter.
•
The net free funds benefit, which is the net margin increase from noninterest-bearing deposits, increased four basis points in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the year ago quarter but was unchanged from the prior quarter.



Noninterest Income
Third quarter 2019 total noninterest income of $101 million increased $13 million from the year ago quarter and increased $5 million from the prior quarter.
With respect to third quarter 2019 noninterest income line items:
•
Net mortgage banking income was up $7 million from the year ago quarter and was up $1 million from the previous quarter, driven by increased settlements including the sale of approximately $240 million of loans from our portfolio.
•
Gains on sales of investment securities were up $4 million from the year ago quarter and up $3 million from the second quarter, reflecting our deleveraging strategy.
•
Insurance commissions and fees were down $1 million from the year ago quarter and were down $2 million from the previous quarter due to seasonally lower contingency fees in the third quarter.

Noninterest Expense
Third quarter 2019 total noninterest expense of $201 million decreased 2%, or $3 million from the year ago quarter, but increased $3 million from the prior quarter. The year ago quarter included $2 million of acquisition related costs while the current quarter and prior quarter included $2 million and $4 million of acquisition related costs, respectively.
With respect to third quarter 2019 noninterest expense line items:
•
Personnel expense decreased $1 million from the year ago quarter, but was essentially unchanged from the prior quarter despite the addition of personnel from the Huntington branch acquisition.
•
Occupancy expense increased $1 million from the year ago quarter and the prior quarter due primarily to the acquisition of Huntington branches.
•
Technology expense increased $3 million from the year ago quarter, but was relatively unchanged from the prior quarter as the company continued to make investments to enhance its online and mobile product offerings.
•
The Company's FDIC assessment decreased $4 million from the year ago quarter with the removal of the FDIC surcharge and decreased from the prior quarter.

Taxes
The third quarter 2019 effective tax rate was 20% compared to 21% in the year ago quarter and 18% in the prior quarter. The lower effective tax rate in the previous quarter was due to a one-time tax benefit as the Company contributed appreciated stock to its charitable trust.



Credit
The third quarter 2019 provision for credit losses was $2 million, up from negative $5 million in the year ago quarter but down from $8 million in the prior quarter.
With respect to third quarter 2019 credit quality:
•
Potential problem loans of $133 million were down $103 million, or 44%, from the year ago quarter and down $33 million, or 20%, from the prior quarter.
•
Nonaccrual loans of $129 million were down $25 million from the year ago quarter and down $38 million from the prior quarter. The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio was 0.57% in the third quarter, compared to 0.67% in the year ago quarter and 0.72% in the prior quarter.
•
Other real estate owned (OREO) of $20 million was down $6 million from the year ago quarter, which was elevated due to pending Bank Mutual branch dispositions, and up $1 million from the prior quarter.
•
Net charge offs of $20 million were up $8 million from the year ago quarter and up $7 million from the prior quarter reflecting continued de-risking of the oil & gas portfolio.
•
The allowance for loan losses of $214 million was down $22 million from the year ago quarter and was down $19 million from the prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 0.94% in the third quarter, down from 1.03% in the year ago quarter, and 1.00% in the prior quarter.

Capital
The Company’s capital position remains strong, with a CET1 capital ratio of 10.2% at September 30, 2019. The Company’s capital ratios continue to be in excess of the Basel III “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks on a fully phased in basis.

Numbers may not sum due to rounding.
(a) As permitted by ASU 2019-04, which was adopted during the third quarter of 2019, the Corporation made a one-time election to transfer municipal securities with a book value of $692 million from held to maturity to available for sale.
(b) During the third quarter of 2019, the Corporation sold approximately $240 million of portfolio mortgages as well as $33 million of nonaccrual and performing restructured loans.
(c) During the third quarter of 2019, the Corporation made a change in accounting policy to offset derivative assets and liabilities and cash collateral with the same counterparty where it has a legally enforceable master netting agreement in place. The change had no impact on either earnings or equity. The Corporation believes that this change is a preferable method of accounting as it provides a better reflection of the assets and liabilities on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. Adoption of this change was voluntary and has been adopted retrospectively with all prior periods presented herein restated.

(a)
The yield on tax-exempt loans and securities is computed on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of 21% and is net of the effects of certain disallowed interest deductions.
(b)
Nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale have been included in the average balances.
(c)
Interest income includes amortization of net deferred loan origination costs and net accreted purchase loan discount.
(d) During the third quarter of 2019, the Corporation made a change in accounting policy to offset derivative assets and liabilities and cash collateral with the same counterparty where it has a legally enforceable master netting agreement in place. Adoption of this change was voluntary and has been adopted retrospectively with all prior periods presented herein restated.

The yield on tax-exempt loans and securities is computed on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of 21% and is net of the effects of certain disallowed interest deductions.

Nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale have been included in the average balances.
(c)
Interest income includes amortization of net deferred loan origination costs and net accreted purchase loan discount.

Adoption of this change was voluntary and has been adopted retrospectively with all prior periods presented herein restated.

Numbers may not sum due to rounding.
(a)
The ratio tangible common equity to tangible assets excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, net. This financial measure has been included as it is considered to be a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.
(b)
These financial measures have been included as they provide meaningful supplemental information to assess trends in the Corporation’s results of operations.
(c)
Includes trust, asset management, brokerage, and annuity fees.
(d)
These capital measurements are used by management, regulators, investors, and analysts to assess, monitor and compare the quality and composition of our capital with the capital of other financial services companies.
(e)
The efficiency ratio as defined by the Federal Reserve guidance is noninterest expense (which includes the provision for unfunded commitments) divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net. The fully tax-equivalent efficiency ratio is noninterest expense (which includes the provision for unfunded commitments), excluding other intangible amortization, divided by the sum of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net. The adjusted efficiency ratio is noninterest expense (which includes the provision for unfunded commitments), excluding other intangible amortization and acquisition related costs, divided by the sum of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net and acquisition related costs. Management believes the adjusted efficiency ratio, which adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and investment securities and acquisition related costs, to be a meaningful measure as it enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources and excludes acquisition related costs.
(f)
This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes these measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators, and analysts to evaluate the adequacy of earnings per common share and provide greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhanced comparability of results with prior periods.
(g)
Diluted earnings and per share data presented after-tax.
