Old Second Reports Fourth Quarter 2019 Net Income of $9.5 million

AURORA, IL, January 22, 2020 – Old Second Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) (NASDAQ: OSBC), the parent company of Old Second National Bank (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter of 2019. Our net income was $9.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to net income of $12.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019, and net income of $8.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Operating Results

Fourth quarter 2019 net income was $9.5 million, reflecting a decrease in earnings of $2.6 million from the third quarter of 2019, and an increase in earnings of $916,000 from the fourth quarter of 2018. Fourth quarter 2019 financial results were negatively impacted by net interest margin compression compared to the third quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2018. Also contributing to the linked quarter decrease in net income was a $3.4 million decrease in securities gains, net, in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2019. Partially offsetting these negative variances was the addition of a death benefit realized on BOLI in the fourth quarter of 2019 and mark to market gains on mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), compared to mark to market losses on MSRs in the third quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2018.

Net interest and dividend income was $23.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 6.4%, from $24.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, and a decrease of $1.2 million, or 4.7%, from the fourth quarter of 2018. Net interest and dividend income in the fourth quarter of 2019 was negatively impacted by interest rate reductions over the past year, which more than offset increases in interest income due to loan growth in the year over year period.

Noninterest income was $9.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 22.6%, compared to $11.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, and an increase of $2.7 million, or 42.1%, compared to $6.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The linked quarter decrease was primarily due to a $3.4 million decrease in securities gains, net. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of a $872,000 death benefit realized on BOLI in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $240,000 of mark to market gains on MSRs, compared to $946,000 of mark to market losses on MSRs in the third quarter of 2019. The increase in noninterest income in the year over year period was primarily driven by the addition of a $872,000 death benefit realized on BOLI in the fourth quarter of 2019 and a $1.7 million increase in total mortgage banking revenue.

Noninterest expense was $19.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of $126,000, or 0.6%, compared to $20.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, and an increase of $1.1 million, or 5.6%, from $18.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The linked quarter decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in salaries and employee benefits and computer and data processing costs, partially offset by increases in consulting fees included within other expense. The increase in noninterest expense in the year over year period was primarily attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits expense, occupancy, furniture and equipment expense and debit card interchange expense, partially offset by a decrease in other expense, primarily consisting of consulting and deferred director compensation related expense.

The provision for income taxes totaled $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2019 and $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The linked quarter decrease of $1.1 million was primarily due to a decrease of $3.8 million in pretax income in the fourth quarter of 2019,

compared to the third quarter of 2019. A minimal change in the provision for income taxes in the year over year quarterly period was realized, as the increase in pre-tax income was due to the BOLI death benefit, which is nontaxable.

On January 21, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share payable on February 10, 2020, to stockholders of record as of January 31, 2020.

Asset Quality & Earning Assets

Nonperforming loans totaled $15.8 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $13.4 million at September 30, 2019, and $16.3 million at December 31, 2018. Credit metrics continue to be relatively stable regarding nonperforming loan levels, and management is carefully monitoring loans considered to be in a classified status. Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans were 0.8% at December 31, 2019, 0.7% at September 30, 2019, and 0.9% at December 31, 2018. Purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans acquired in our acquisition of ABC Bank totaled $8.6 million, net of purchase accounting adjustments, at December 31, 2019. We do not consider PCI loans, which showed evidence of deteriorated credit quality at acquisition, to be nonperforming assets if their cash flows and the timing of such cash flows continue to be estimable and probable of collection.

OREO assets totaled $5.0 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $4.7 million at September 30, 2019, and $7.2 million at December 31, 2018. We recorded writedowns of $120,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $203,000 in the third quarter of 2019, and $96,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018. Nonperforming assets, as a percent of total loans plus OREO, were 1.1% at December 31, 2019, 0.9% at September 30, 2019, and 1.2% at December 31, 2018.

Total loans were $1.93 billion at December 31, 2019, reflecting an increase of $31.0 million compared to September 30, 2019, and an increase of $33.8 million compared to December 31, 2018, due primarily to growth in our commercial, leases, and real estate-commercial portfolios. Average loans (including loans held-for-sale) for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $1.90 billion, reflecting an increase of $7.8 million from the third quarter of 2019 and an increase of $45.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2018. Growth in the year over year period is due to organic growth in our leases, commercial, and real estate-commercial portfolios.

Available-for-sale securities totaled $484.6 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $488.4 million at September 30, 2019, and $541.2 million at December 31, 2018. Total securities available-for-sale remained relatively unchanged over the linked quarters, and a decline of $56.6 million was realized in the year over year period due primarily to security sales recorded in the third quarter of 2019.

1 Tax equivalent (TE) basis is calculated using a marginal tax rate of 21% in 2019 and 2018. See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Presentations” below and the table on page 16 that provides a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

2 Interest income from loans is shown on a tax equivalent basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as discussed in the table on page 16, and includes fees of $397,000 for the fourth quarter of 2019, $295,000 for the third quarter of 2019, and $508,000 for the fourth quarter of 2018. Nonaccrual loans are included in the above stated average balances.

Net interest income (TE) was $23.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, which reflects a decrease of $1.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2019, and a decrease of $1.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The tax equivalent adjustment for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $393,000, compared to $460,000 for the third quarter of 2019, and $564,000 for the fourth quarter of 2018. Average interest earning assets increased $5.2 million to $2.43 billion for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to loan growth.

Average interest earnings assets remained steady compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, with a decline in total securities offset by loan growth. Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased $7.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2019, and grew $45.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. Growth in volumes of earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2019 was more than offset by a decline in yields. The yield on average earning assets decreased 31 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2019, and decreased 25 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily due to the lowering of interest rates by the Federal Reserve Bank in the third quarter of 2019. In addition, a few large loans acquired in our acquisition of ABC Bank paid off in the third quarter of 2019, which resulted in purchase accounting accretion income of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to purchase accounting accretion income of $255,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $662,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Total securities income was $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of $292,000 compared to the third quarter of 2019, and a decrease of $1.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, due primarily to reductions in yields and volumes. We sold $13.5 million of securities in the fourth quarter of 2019, resulting in pretax security gains, net, of $35,000, compared to $57.2 million of security sales in the third quarter of 2019, primarily in the nontaxable municipals sector, which resulted in pretax security gains, net, of $3.5 million. Our overall yield on tax equivalent municipal securities was 3.68% for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 3.70% for the third quarter of 2019, and 3.92% for the fourth quarter of 2018. Taxable security yields also declined during this time period, resulting in a decrease to the overall tax equivalent yield for the total securities portfolio of 18 basis points from September 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and 41 basis points from December 31, 2018, to December 31, 2019.

Average interest bearing liabilities decreased $27.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2019, primarily driven by a $46.5 million decrease in other short-term borrowings, due to a decrease in funding needs as a result of net loan paydowns early in the fourth quarter. Average interest bearing liabilities decreased $122.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily driven by a $59.2 million reduction in interest bearing deposits, and a $54.8 million decrease in other short term borrowings. The cost of interest bearing liabilities for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by two basis points from the third quarter of 2019, but increased three basis points from the fourth quarter of 2018. Growth in average noninterest bearing demand deposits of $26.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2019, and of $43.5 million in the year over year period, has assisted us in controlling our cost of funds stemming from average interest bearing deposits, which totaled 0.69% for the fourth quarter of 2019, 0.66% for the third quarter of 2019, and 0.61% for the fourth quarter of 2018.

For the fourth quarter of 2019, average other short-term borrowings, which consisted solely of FHLBC advances, totaled $28.8 million, compared to $75.3 million for the third quarter of 2019, and $83.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Average rates paid on short-term FHLBC advances decreased from 2.43% in the fourth quarter of 2018 to 2.26% for the third quarter of 2019, and to 1.99% for the fourth quarter of 2019, reflecting the fluctuations in the interest rate environment. There were no material changes in the rates or volumes of our junior subordinated debt issuances and senior debt issuance in the linked quarter or year over year periods. Average notes payable and other borrowings included long-term FHLBC advances acquired in our acquisition of ABC Bank in April 2018, of $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, and $18.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Our net interest margin (TE) decreased 28 basis point to 3.86% for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 4.14% for the third quarter of 2019 due primarily to a decrease in loan yields resulting from the falling interest rate environment, which decreased income from average earning assets more significantly than expenses related to average interest bearing liabilities. Our net interest margin (TE) in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 21 basis points lower than the fourth quarter of 2018, due primarily to falling interest rates and a reduction in purchase accounting accretion income recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019.

N/M - Not meaningful.

Noninterest income decreased $2.7 million, or 22.6%, in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2019, primarily driven by a $3.4 million decrease in securities gains, net, and a reduction in net gain on sales of mortgage loans of $961,000. These negative variances were partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in mark to market gains on MSRs and a $872,000 death benefit realized on BOLI recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Noninterest income increased $2.7 million, or 42.1%, in the year over year, primarily driven by a $1.7 million increase in total residential mortgage banking revenue, which included $240,000 of mark to market gains on MSRs, compared to $923,000 of mark to market losses on MSRs in the fourth quarter of 2018. Growth in the year over year period also included a $67,000 increase in trust income, a $332,000 increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI, a $872,000 death benefit realized on BOLI, and a $143,000 increase in other income. The increase in other income for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, was primarily attributable to an increase in ATM fees of $123,000, master card contract incentive fees of $80,000 and lease syndication fees of $43,000 which were partially offset by a decrease in interest rate swap fees of $137,000.

1 The efficiency ratio shown in the table above is a GAAP financial measure calculated as noninterest expense, excluding OREO expenses and amortization of core deposits, divided by the sum of net interest income and total noninterest income less net gains and losses on securities and any BOLI death benefit recorded.

2 The adjusted efficiency ratio shown in the table above is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as noninterest expense, excluding OREO expenses, amortization of core deposits and acquisition related costs divided by the sum of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, total noninterest income less net gains and losses on securities and includes a tax equivalent adjustment on the increase in cash surrender value of BOLI. See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Presentations” below and the table on page 16 that provides a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased $126,000, or 0.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2019, and increased $1.1 million, or 5.6%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The linked quarter decrease is primarily attributable to a $454,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $205,000 decrease in computer and data processing, and a $110,000 decrease in advertising expense, which was partially offset by a $480,000 increase in other expense. Other expense increased in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2019, due to increases in the deferred compensation valuation of director fees, and consulting fees.

The year over year increase in noninterest expense is primarily attributable to the growth in our commercial lending team, which resulted in higher costs in salaries and employee benefits, and repairs and maintenance on bank owned properties, which resulted in higher occupancy, furniture and equipment expense. Debit card interchange expense also increased year over year due to growth in volumes and system upgrades. Partially offsetting the year over year increases were decreases in computer and data processing, FDIC insurance, other real estate expense, net, and other expense.

Total loans increased by $31.0 million at December 31, 2019, compared to September 30, 2019, and increased $33.8 million for the year over year period. The majority of the year over year increase is due to organic growth in our commercial, leases and real estate-commercial loan portfolios.

The portfolio composition has remained relatively static over the past year, with exceptions noted in states and political subdivisions and asset-backed securities due to sales, calls or maturities in those portfolios. Security sales recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019 resulted in net securities gains of $35,000, compared to $3.5 million of net securities gains in the third quarter of 2019, and no security gains or losses in the fourth quarter of 2018. The $3.5 million gain on sales recorded in the third quarter of 2019 was driven by the sale of approximately $57.2 million of tax exempt municipal securities, as the spread risk on these assets had increased considerably due to historically tight spreads in the sector. We sold the securities to reduce our exposure related to this risk and we used a portion of the sale proceeds to purchase taxable municipal bonds, which had spread levels near their historic average.

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans, performing troubled debt restructured loans accruing interest and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. We do not consider PCI loans, which showed evidence of deteriorated credit quality at acquisition, to be nonperforming assets as long as their cash flows and the timing of such cash flows continue to be estimable and probable of collection. Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.8% in the fourth quarter of 2019, 0.7% in the third quarter of 2019, and 0.9% for the fourth quarter of 2018. Nonperforming assets to total loans plus OREO remained relatively stable and ended at 1.1% in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 0.9% in the third quarter of 2019 and 1.2% in the fourth quarter of 2018, as our loan portfolio grew year over year, and we continued OREO liquidations and recorded write-downs. Our allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans was 1.0% as of December 31, 2019, September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.

2 Represents the percentage of net charge-offs attributable to each category of loans.

Gross charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $835,000, compared to $397,000 for the third quarter of 2019, and $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Gross recoveries were $823,000 for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $126,000 for the third quarter of 2019, and $229,000 for the fourth quarter of 2018. Continued recoveries are indicative of the ongoing aggressive efforts by management to effectively manage and resolve prior charge-offs.

Deposits

Total deposits were $2.13 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of $52.3 million compared to September 30, 2019, resulting from net increases in demand deposits of $26.4 million, savings, NOW and money market accounts of $10.8 million, and time deposits of $15.0 million. Total deposits increased $10.1 million in the year over year period reflecting increases in demand deposits of $51.0 million, partially offset by aggregate decreases in savings, NOW and money market accounts and time deposits of $40.9 million.

Borrowings

As of December 31, 2019, we had $48.5 million outstanding in other short-term borrowings compared to $84.0 million as of September 30, 2019, and $149.5 million as of December 31, 2018.

We are indebted on senior notes totaling $44.2 million, net of deferred issuance costs, as of December 31, 2019. We are also indebted on $57.7 million of junior subordinated debentures, net of deferred issuance costs, which are related to the trust preferred securities issued by our two statutory trust subsidiaries, Old Second Capital Trust I and Old Second Capital Trust II. Notes payable and other borrowings is comprised of $6.7 million of a long-term FHLBC advance acquired in our ABC Bank acquisition that matures on February 2, 2026.

Non-GAAP Presentations: Management has disclosed in this earnings release certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure our performance, including the presentation of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis and our efficiency ratio calculations. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Management believes this measure provides investors with information regarding balance sheet profitability. Consistent with industry practice, management has disclosed the efficiency ratio including and excluding certain items, which is discussed in the noninterest expense presentation on page 6. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, and we strongly encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. The tables on page 16 provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

Forward-Looking Statements: This earnings release contains forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipated,” “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “may,” “likely,” “will” or other that indicate future periods. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including a downturn in the economy, particularly in our markets, volatile credit and financial markets both domestic and foreign, potential deterioration in real estate values, regulatory changes and excessive loan losses, as well as additional risks and uncertainties contained in the “Risk Factors” and forward-looking statements disclosure contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, any or all of which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be construed as a representation by us or any person that future events, plans, or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
