FIRST MIDWEST BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES
2021 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
CHICAGO, IL, January 18, 2022 - First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "First Midwest"), the holding company of First Midwest Bank (the "Bank"), today reported results of operations and financial condition for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021. Net income applicable to common shares for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $44 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, compared to $50 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2021, and $37 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2020. For the full year of 2021, the Company reported net income applicable to common shares of $182 million, or $1.60 per diluted common share, compared to $98 million, or $0.87 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Comparative results for all periods were impacted by the timing of costs related to acquisitions. In addition, certain periods were impacted by retail and balance sheet optimization strategies, and securities gains, as well as the Company's response to the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic") and federal, state and local responses to the pandemic. To facilitate comparisons between periods, adjustments to reported results have been made to reflect these impacts. For additional detail on these adjustments, see the "Non-GAAP Financial Information" section presented later in this release.
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS
•Improved diluted EPS to $0.39 for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $1.60 for the full year of 2021, up 18% and 84% from the same periods in 2020; down 5% and up 44% on an adjusted(1) basis, respectively.

(1) Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 21%. The corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt items is recorded in income tax expense. These adjustments have no impact on net income. See the "Non-GAAP Financial Information" section presented later in this release for a discussion of this non-GAAP financial measure.
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by 4.4% from the third quarter of 2021 and was down 6.3% from the fourth quarter of 2020. Net interest income compared to both prior periods was impacted by a decrease in interest income and fees on PPP loans, as well as lower yields on loans and acquired loan accretion, partially offset by higher income on equity securities held in a grantor trust under our deferred compensation plan, which are substantially offset by the corresponding obligation to participants within total salaries and employee benefits. In addition, loan growth and lower cost of funds partially offset the decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
Acquired loan accretion contributed $5.7 million, $6.2 million, and $7.6 million to net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2021, the third quarter of 2021, and the fourth quarter of 2020, respectively.
Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the current quarter was 2.75%, decreasing by 16 basis points from the third quarter of 2021 and 39 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding the impact of acquired loan accretion, tax-equivalent net
3


interest margin was 2.64%, down 15 basis points from the third quarter of 2021 and 34 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2020. Compared to both prior periods tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased due primarily to lower PPP loan income and yields on loans, excluding PPP loans, as well as a higher balance of other interest-earning assets from growth in commercial deposits compared to the third quarter of 2021 and PPP loan funds and other government stimuli compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Higher income on equity securities held in a grantor trust under our deferred compensation plan and lower cost of funds partially offset the decrease compared to both prior periods.
For the fourth quarter of 2021, total average interest-earning assets increased by $204.1 million from the third quarter of 2021 and increased $1.3 billion from the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase compared to both prior periods resulted primarily from a higher balance of other interest-earning assets due to deposit growth, partially offset by lower PPP loan funds. In addition, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, loan growth contributed to the increase in interest-earning assets.
Total average funding sources for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by $178.5 million from the third quarter of 2021 and $1.1 billion from the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase compared to the third quarter of 2021 was impacted by growth in commercial deposits, partially offset by the seasonal outflows of municipal deposits. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, the increase was driven by higher customer balances resulting from PPP funds and other government stimuli, partially offset by a decrease in FHLB advances.

Total noninterest income of $44.5 million was down 1.6% and up 60.5% from the third quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2020, respectively. Excluding the impact of swap termination costs in the fourth quarter of 2020, total noninterest income decreased 1.8%. Wealth management fees decreased compared to a record third quarter of 2021 due to seasonality and increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 due to positive market performance and continued sales of fiduciary and investment advisory services to new and existing customers. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts compared to the third quarter of 2021 was due primarily to seasonality, whereas the increase from the fourth quarter of 2020 resulted from the impact of higher transaction volumes.
Mortgage banking income for the fourth quarter of 2021 resulted from sales of $179.1 million of 1-4 family mortgage loans in the secondary market compared to $199.9 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $275.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. In addition, mortgage banking income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was impacted by decreases in market pricing on sales of 1-4 family mortgage loans compared to the same period in 2020.
Capital market products income increased compared to both prior periods as a result higher levels of sales to corporate clients in light of market conditions. Other service charges, commissions, and fees for the fourth quarter of 2021 was elevated as a result of sales of loans at gains. Other income compared to both prior periods was impacted by lower fair value adjustments on equity securities as a result of the market environment, partially offset by benefit settlements on bank-owned life insurance. In addition, other income for the third quarter of 2021 was elevated as a result of net gains from the disposition of branch properties and other miscellaneous items.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company terminated longer term interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $510 million due to excess liquidity and in response to market conditions. As a result of this transaction, $17.6 million of pre-tax losses on swap terminations were recorded in the same period.

Total noninterest expense increased 4.2% and 2.5% compared to the third quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020, respectively. Noninterest expense for all periods presented was impacted by acquisition and integration related expenses. In addition, the fourth quarter of 2020 was impacted by optimization costs. Excluding these items, noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $116.9 million, up 3.4% and 2.0% from the third quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020, respectively. Overall, noninterest expense, adjusted, to average assets, excluding PPP loans, was 2.14% for the fourth quarter of 2021, up 4 basis points from the third quarter of 2021 and down 15 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2020.
The increase in salaries and employee benefits compared to both prior periods was driven primarily by higher compensation accruals and deferred compensation plan obligations due to income on the respective equity securities held in a grantor trust. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, the increase in salaries and employee benefits was impacted by merit increases, partially offset by the ongoing benefits of optimization strategies. Net occupancy expense decreased compared to both prior periods as a result of lower maintenance costs. Professional services expense increased compared to the third quarter of 2021 due mainly to higher loan related fees associated with 1-4 family mortgage production. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, professional services expense decreased due primarily to lower loan remediation costs. Advertising and promotions expense increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 due to the timing of certain costs related to marketing campaigns. Other expenses decreased compared to the third quarter of 2021 as a result of lower other miscellaneous expenses. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, other expenses increased due primarily to higher servicing fees from purchases of consumer loans.
Optimization costs of $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily include valuation adjustments related to locations identified for closure, modernization of our ATM network, advisory fees, employee severance, and other expenses associated with locations identified for closure.
Acquisition and integration related expenses for the fourth and third quarters of 2021 resulted from the pending merger with Old National. Acquisition and integration related expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 resulted from the acquisition of Park Bank, which closed in the first quarter of 2020.

Excluding these loans, total loans were up 1% annualized from September 30, 2021 and 3% from December 31, 2020. Compared to both prior periods, strong production and line usage within our sector-based lending businesses drove the increase in corporate loan growth, excluding PPP loans. Middle market businesses also contributed to this growth compared to December 31, 2020. Production was partially offset by higher paydowns and prepayments due to excess borrower liquidity as a result of the pandemic and the impact of certain customers selling their commercial business or investment real estate properties, as well as refinancing with institutions offering loan terms outside of our credit parameters.
Consumer loans compared to both prior periods were impacted by purchases of 1-4 family mortgages, as well as strong production in the 1-4 family mortgages portfolio, which was partially offset by higher prepayments. In addition, consumer loans compared to December 31, 2020 were impacted by purchases of installment loans.

The ACL was $209.9 million or 1.43% of total loans as of December 31, 2021, decreasing $5.0 million from September 30, 2021 and $37.2 million compared to December 31, 2020. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, ACL to total loans was 1.45% as of December 31, 2021, compared to 1.49% and 1.77% as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease from both prior periods reflects an improving credit environment as well as net charge-offs on PCD loans that previously had an ACL established upon acquisition.

NPAs represented 0.88% of total loans and foreclosed assets at December 31, 2021 compared to 0.78% and 1.11% at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Excluding the impact of PCD and PPP loans, NPAs to total loans plus foreclosed assets was 0.76% at December 31, 2021, compared to 0.65% at September 30, 2021 and 0.96% at December 31, 2020. The increase compared to September 30, 2021 is reflective of normal fluctuations that occur on a quarterly basis. The decrease compared to December 31, 2020 is due primarily to an improving credit environment as well as one corporate loan relationship transferred from non-accrual loans to foreclosed assets during the first nine months of 2021.

Performing loans classified as substandard and special mention decreased to $640.3 million at December 31, 2021 from $681.4 million and $766.3 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease from both prior periods was driven by an improving credit environment.

Total average deposits were $17.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, up modestly from the third quarter of 2021 and up 9.5% from the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in total average deposits compared to the third quarter of 2021 was impacted by growth in commercial deposits, partially offset by seasonal outflows of municipal deposits. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, the increase in total average deposits was due to higher customer balances resulting from PPP funds and other government stimulus measures.

(1) These ratios are not subject to formal Federal Reserve regulatory guidance.
(2) Tangible common equity ("TCE") is a non-GAAP measure that represents common stockholders' equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. For details of the calculation of these ratios, see the sections titled, "Non-GAAP Financial Information" and "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" presented later in this release.
Risk-weighted regulatory capital ratios compared to all prior periods were impacted by retained earnings and the mix of risk-weighted assets. Total capital to risk-weighted assets compared to December 31, 2020 was impacted by the beginning of the five-year phase-out of Tier 2 treatment of the Company's subordinated debt. The Company elected the five-year current expected credit losses ("CECL") transition relief for regulatory capital, which retained approximately 30 basis points of CET1 and Tier 1 capital at December 31, 2021.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share during the fourth quarter of 2021, which is consistent with third quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2020. This dividend represents the 156th consecutive cash dividend paid by the Company since its inception in 1983.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication may contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding the financial condition, results of operations, business plans and future performance of First Midwest. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "might," "will," "would," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "outlook," "forecast," "predict," "project," "probable," "potential," "possible," "target," "continue," "look forward," or "assume" and words of similar import. Because forward-looking statements relate to future results and occurrences, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance but instead express only management's beliefs regarding future results or events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of management's control. It is possible that actual results and events may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results or events indicated in these forward-looking statements. First Midwest cautions you not to place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and First Midwest undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements may be deemed to include, among other things, statements relating to First Midwest's future financial performance, the performance of First Midwest's loan or securities portfolio, the expected amount of future credit allowances or charge-offs, the timing of the pending merger of First Midwest and Old National, the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or to satisfy any of the other conditions to the merger on a timely basis or at all, the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the merger are not realized when expected or at all, corporate strategies or objectives, including the
11


impact of certain actions and initiatives, anticipated trends in First Midwest's business, regulatory developments, estimated synergies, cost savings and financial benefits of completed transactions, growth strategies, the inability to realize cost savings or improved revenues or to implement integration plans associated with the proposed merger with Old National and the continued or potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related variants and mutations on First Midwest's business, financial condition, liquidity, loans, asset quality and results of operations. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the duration, extent and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and related variants and mutations, including the continued effects on First Midwest's business, operations and employees, as well as on First Midwest's customers and service providers, and on economies and markets more generally and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are discussed under the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in First Midwest's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in First Midwest's subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive, and other sections of these reports describe additional factors that could adversely impact First Midwest's business and financial performance.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and general practices within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP performance results, which the Company believes are useful because they assist investors in assessing the Company's operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include EPS, adjusted, the efficiency ratio, return on average assets, adjusted, tax-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components), tax-equivalent net interest margin, tax-equivalent net interest margin, adjusted, noninterest expense, adjusted, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity, excluding AOCI, to tangible assets, tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets, return on average common equity, adjusted, return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted, non-accrual loans, excluding PCD loans, non-accrual loans to total loans, excluding PPP loans, non-accrual loans to total loans, excluding PCD and PPP loans, NPLs to total loans, excluding PPP loans, NPLs to total loans, excluding PCD and PPP loans, NPAs to total loans plus foreclosed assets, excluding PPP loans, NPAs to total loans plus foreclosed assets, excluding PCD and PPP loans, performing loans classified as substandard and special mention to corporate loans, excluding PPP loans, NCOs, excluding PCD loans, NCOs to average loans, excluding PPP loans, NCOs to average loans, excluding PCD and PPP loans, and pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, adjusted.
The Company presents EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average assets, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity, all adjusted for certain significant transactions. These transactions include acquisition and integration related expenses associated with completed and pending acquisitions (all periods), optimization costs (second and first quarters of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020), swap termination costs (fourth quarter of 2020), income tax benefits (fourth quarter of 2020), and net securities gains (full year 2020). In addition, net OREO expense is excluded from the calculation of the efficiency ratio. Management believes excluding these transactions from EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average assets, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance since these transactions do not pertain to its core business operations and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods. Management believes that excluding acquisition and integration related expenses from these metrics may be useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since these expenses can vary significantly based on the size, type, and structure of each acquisition. Additionally, management believes excluding these transactions from these metrics may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.
Income tax expense, provision for loan losses, and the certain significant transactions listed above are excluded from the calculation of pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, adjusted due to the fluctuation in income before income tax and the level of provision for loan losses required based on the estimated impact of the pandemic on the ACL. Management believes pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, adjusted may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.
The Company presents noninterest expense, adjusted, which excludes optimization costs, and acquisition and integration related expenses. Management believes that excluding these items from noninterest expense may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance as these items either do not pertain to its core business operations or their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.
The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income and net interest margin recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented using the current federal income tax rate of 21%. Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and that it may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes. In addition, management believes that presenting tax-equivalent net interest margin, adjusted, may enhance
12


comparability for peer comparison purposes and is useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since acquired loan accretion income may fluctuate based on the size of each acquisition, as well as from period to period.
In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from stockholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity.
The Company presents non-accrual loans, non-accrual loans to total loans, NPLs to total loans, NPAs to total loans plus foreclosed assets, performing loans classified as substandard and special mention to corporate loans, excluding PPP loans, NCOs, and NCOs to average loans, all excluding PCD and/or PPP loans. Management believes excluding PCD and PPP loans is useful as it facilitates better comparability between periods. Prior to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, PCI loans with an accretable yield were considered current and were not included in past due and non-accrual loan totals and the portion of PCI loans deemed to be uncollectible was recorded as a reduction of the credit-related acquisition adjustment, which was netted within loans. Subsequent to adoption, PCD loans, including those previously classified as PCI, are included in past due and non-accrual loan totals and an ACL on PCD loans is established as of the acquisition date and the PCD loans are no longer recorded net of a credit-related acquisition adjustment. PCD loans deemed to be uncollectible are recorded as a charge-off through the ACL. The Company began originating PPP loans during the second quarter of 2020 and the loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and are expected to be forgiven if the applicable criteria are met. Additionally, management believes excluding PCD and PPP loans from these metrics may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.
Although intended to enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other financial institutions to assess their business and performance. See the previously provided tables and the following reconciliations in the "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" section for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.
