CEO COMMENTARY

Charles (Chip) Reeves, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "Despite a difficult operating environment, exacerbated by March's banking turmoil, we made significant progress executing on our initial strategic priorities. After the actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2022 to improve our credit, our asset quality metrics further improved in the first quarter of 2023, positioning the Bank well for the uncertain macroeconomic outlook. Importantly, we have low exposure to the higher risk areas in the market, such as the office sector of commercial real estate. Additionally, we took strategic action in late February to reduce the Company's liability sensitivity as we executed the sale of $231.0 million of available for sale debt securities, resulting in $220.0 million of proceeds used to pay off high-cost FHLB borrowings and reinvest in higher yielding, floating rate securities. The transaction positions our balance sheet more favorably, improves our future earnings profile, enhances our already strong liquidity profile, and, importantly, our capital ratios still improved as compared to the linked quarter."

Mr. Reeves continued, "Our core, granular deposit franchise also performed well given the concerns that swept the sector in the aftermath of Silicon Valley Bank's ("SVB") failure. While we experienced $154.0 million of deposit outflows, excluding brokered deposits, in the quarter, $120.0 million occurred in January, which is a typical, seasonal low. Subsequent to the SVB failure and through the end of the first quarter, deposits grew $3.7 million. At quarter end, our total uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized municipal deposits, were approximately 18.5% and we have $1.7 billion of available borrowing capacity through the FHLB, Federal Reserve and the Bank Term Funding Program, and unsecured sources, which covers our uninsured deposit base. We believe we are in a strong liquidity position."

Mr. Reeves concluded, "Looking forward, I could not be more excited for what lies ahead for our Company, employees, customers, and shareholders. Today, we have launched a strategic plan designed to unleash the potential that exists within MidWestOne as we strive to become a high performing bank with consistent performance. Importantly, none of this would be possible without our talented team members and their continued focus on our customers and communities. I am so proud of their hard work through what has been a very challenging two months in our industry."

Strategic Plan

The Company has launched a strategic plan focused on five pillars designed to improve the performance of the Bank, including (1) driving a performance-oriented culture, (2) protecting the Bank's core community bank franchise, (3) accelerating the growth of the Bank's commercial and wealth management businesses, (4) expanding into specialty commercial segments, and (5) optimizing the Bank's operational effectiveness and efficiency. Management will remain prudent through the execution of the plan with a strict focus on risk management with further investments in credit administration, a key enabler to the plan.

The goal of the plan is to exit 2025 with:

  • 12% annual earnings per share growth
  • A return on average assets of 1.10 - 1.20%
  • 10% annual tangible book value growth
  • An efficiency ratio of 55 - 57%

Further details on the strategic plan and quarterly results can be found in the Company's first quarter 2023 earnings supplemental presentation located on the investor relations section of the Company's website located at www.midwestonefinancial.com.

Results are not meaningful (n/m)

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2023 decreased $18.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of lower net interest income and noninterest income. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, total revenue decreased $13.0 million primarily due to lower noninterest income. When excluding the loss of $13.2 million from the balance sheet repositioning, total revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was $49.2 million, a decline of $5.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $0.2 million from the first quarter of 2022.

Net interest income of $40.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased from $43.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, due primarily to two fewer days in the quarter and higher funding costs and volumes, partially offset by higher interest earning asset yields and volumes. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, net interest income increased $2.8 million as a result of higher interest earning asset yields and volumes, partially offset by higher funding costs and volumes.

The Company's tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.75% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 2.93% in the fourth quarter of 2022, as higher earning asset yields were more than offset by increased funding costs. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 51 bps to 1.59%, due to interest bearing deposit costs of 1.38%, short-term borrowing costs of 2.82%, and long-term debt costs of 6.19%, which increased 55 bps, 28 bps and 65 bps, respectively from the fourth quarter of 2022. Total interest earning assets yield increased 23 bps primarily as a result of an increase in loan and securities yields of 29 bps and 5 bps, respectively. Our cycle-to-date interest bearing deposit beta was 24%.

The net interest margin was 2.75% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 2.79% in the first quarter of 2022, driven by higher funding costs, partially offset by higher interest earning asset yields. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 117 bps to 1.59%, due to interest bearing deposit costs of 1.38%, short-term borrowing costs of 2.82%, and long-term debt costs of 6.19%, which increased 109 bps, 252 bps and 189 bps, respectively from the first quarter of 2022. Total interest earning assets yield increased 90 bps primarily as a result of an increase in loan and securities yields of 97 bps and 43 bps, respectively.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 decreased $15.0 million from the linked quarter and $15.7 million from the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to investment security losses of $13.2 million related to the Company's balance sheet repositioning. In addition, noninterest income declined from the comparative periods due to the following factors: (1) the fourth quarter of 2022 benefited from a nonrecurring bargain purchase gain of $2.5 million and (2) the first quarter of 2022 benefited from a larger increase in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights, as well as a larger gain on sale from residential mortgage loans as a result of higher mortgage origination volumes.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2023 decreased $1.1 million, or 3.3%, from the linked quarter with overall decreases in all noninterest expense categories except occupancy, marketing and FDIC insurance. These decreases primarily reflected the decline in incentive compensation and merger-related expenses. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of $0.3 million in FDIC insurance premiums and $0.1 million in occupancy expense of premises, net. The decreases in net interest income and noninterest income noted above, partially offset by lower noninterest expense, were the primary drivers of the increase in the efficiency ratio, which increased 4.53% to 62.32% from 57.79% in the linked quarter.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2023 increased $1.7 million, or 5.30%, from the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to increases of $0.9 million and $0.5 million in compensation and employee benefits and amortization of intangibles, respectively. The increases primarily reflected costs associated with the acquired operations of Iowa First Bancshares Corp. ("IOFB"), which closed in the second quarter of 2022. Partially offsetting the increases above was a decline of $0.6 million in legal and professional expenses stemming primarily from a reduction in legal expenses related to litigation and executive recruitment. The decline in noninterest income and the increase in noninterest expense noted above, partially offset by higher net interest income, were the primary drivers of the increase in the efficiency ratio, which increased 1.86 percentage points to 62.32% from 60.46% in the first quarter of 2022.

The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 21.4% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 17.9% in the linked quarter. The increase was primarily due to a bargain purchase gain increase that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 related to the IOFB acquisition, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2023. The effective income tax rate for the full year 2023 is expected to be in the range of 19.5% - 21.5%.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Total assets were $6.41 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $6.58 billion at December 31, 2022 and $5.96 billion at March 31, 2022. The decrease from December 31, 2022 was driven by lower securities balances as a result of the balance sheet repositioning. In comparison to March 31, 2022, the increase was due primarily to the IOFB assets acquired in the second quarter of 2022 and higher loan balances from organic loan growth.

Investment securities at March 31, 2023 were $2.07 billion, decreasing $211.2 million from December 31, 2022 and $278.1 million from March 31, 2022.

The Company executed the sale of securities as part of a strategic balance sheet repositioning. The sale resulted in a pre-tax realized loss of $13.2 million. The proceeds of $220.0 million were redeployed towards paying off existing short-term borrowings and purchasing higher yielding, floating rate securities.

Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 2023 increased $7.9 million from December 31, 2022, driven by the benefit of first quarter net income and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by dividends paid during the first quarter of 2023.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2023 decreased $10.2 million compared to December 31, 2022, due primarily to accretion of unrealized losses and the favorable impact of interest rate changes on available for sale securities valuations. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $36.9 million from March 31, 2022, driven by the impact of higher interest rates on available for sale securities valuations.

On April 27, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.2425 per common share. The dividend is payable June 15, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2023.

Due to increased economic uncertainty and recent market volatility, no common shares were repurchased by the Company during the period January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023 or for the subsequent period through April 27, 2023. On April 27, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new repurchase program, which replaced the prior repurchase program, allowing for the repurchase of up to $15.0 million of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2025.
