“We delivered a solid quarter highlighted by positive trends across most of our key metrics including stronger loan growth, higher mortgage banking revenue, an expanding net interest margin and stable core expense levels,” said Kevin P. Riley, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. “Our performance benefited from the addition of Cascade Bancorp’s operations at the end of May. Through this merger, we have added a talented group of bankers and a loyal customer base. With our similar approach to community banking and shared values, we have had a smooth transition and we are excited about the opportunities to leverage our combined strength to enhance client and revenue growth in our new markets.

“We anticipate a continuation of our positive trends in the second half of the year. With the integration of Cascade proceeding as scheduled, we are on track to capture all of the synergies projected for this transaction by the end of the third quarter. We believe this will position us well to increase our earnings power in the fourth quarter and into 2018,” said Mr. Riley.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

On July 20, 2017, the Company's board of directors declared a dividend of $.24 per common share, payable on August 11, 2017, to owners of record as of August 2, 2017. The dividend equates to a 2.56% annual yield based on the $37.54 average closing pricing of the Company's common stock during the second quarter 2017.

ACQUISITION

On November 17, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Agreement") to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Cascade Bancorp, parent company of Bank of the Cascades (BOTC), an Oregon-based community bank with 46 banking offices across Oregon, Idaho and Washington. The acquisition was completed on May 30, 2017, and the Company will merge Bank of the Cascades with its existing bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank, on August 11, 2017.

Consideration for the acquisition totaled $534 million and consisted of cash of $145.6 million and the issuance of 11.3 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock valued at $34.30 per share, the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ stock exchange on the acquisition date. As of the acquisition date, Cascade Bancorp had total assets with fair values of $3.3 billion, total loans with fair values of $2.1 billion and deposits with fair values of $2.7 billion. The Company has recorded the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired from BOTC only provisionally, and will finalize the amounts in the coming months. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company recorded provisional goodwill of $232 million and core deposit intangible assets of $47 million.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The Company's net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $10.4 million, or 14.9%, to $80.4 million during second quarter 2017, as compared to $70.0 million during first quarter 2017, and increased $11.6 million, or 16.9%, from $68.7 million during second quarter 2016.

Net interest income was positively impacted this quarter by the recovery of previously charged-off interest of $2.1 million, compared to $413 thousand during first quarter 2017 and $133 thousand during the second quarter of 2016.

Interest accretion attributable to the fair valuation of acquired loans contributed $1.7 million of interest income during the second quarter of 2017, of which approximately $330 thousand was related to early payoffs. This compares to interest accretion of $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2017, of which approximately $417 thousand was related to early payoffs, and interest accretion of $1.7 million during the second quarter of 2016, of which, approximately $779 thousand was due to early payoffs. The quarter-over-quarter increase in interest accretion attributable to the fair valuation of acquired loans is solely attributable to the BOTC portfolio.

The Company's net interest margin ratio increased to 3.60% during the second quarter of 2017, as compared to 3.49% during the first quarter of 2017. Exclusive of the impact of recovery of charged-off interest and the impact of interest accretion on acquired loans, the Company's core net interest margin ratio was 3.43 % this quarter compared to 3.41% during the first quarter of 2017 and 3.46% during the same quarter of 2016.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.4 million during second quarter 2017, compared to $1.7 million during first quarter 2017, and $2.6 million during second quarter 2016. Fluctuations in the provision for loan losses reflect management's estimate of possible loan losses based upon evaluation of the borrowers' ability to repay, collateral value underlying loans, loan loss trends, and estimated effects of current economic conditions on our loan portfolio.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income increased $8.1 million, or 27.7%, to $37.2 million during second quarter 2017, as compared to $29.1 million during first quarter 2017. Exclusive of the non-core litigation recovery of $3.8 million, total non-interest income increased $3.1 million from $34.1 million during second quarter 2016.

Second quarter increases, as compared to first quarter 2017, were partially attributable to a one-time gain of $3.4 million recognized on the sale of the custodial rights to all the Company's health savings accounts (HSA) held by First Interstate Bank. In total, the Company sold the custodial rights to HealthEquity for $6.5 million, of which $3.1 million was attributable to BOTC and considered a fair market value purchase accounting adjustment. Total health savings accounts of approximately $58 million will be transferred to HealthEquity during the third quarter of 2017.

Payment services revenues increased $1.8 million, or 21.1%, to $10.2 million during second quarter 2017, as compared to $8.4 million during first quarter 2017. $1.1 million, or 60%, of this growth was directly attributable to BOTC. Exclusive of the impact from BOTC, payment services revenues increased by 8% on a linked quarter basis and 5% over the same quarter last year. This increase in payment services revenue is attributable to increased debit card and credit card volume.

Mortgage banking revenues increased $1.1 million, or 16.7%, to $7.6 million during second quarter 2017, as compared to $6.5 million during first quarter 2017. $629 thousand, or 57%, of this growth was directly attributable to BOTC. During second quarter 2017, loans originated for home purchases accounted for approximately 79% of production versus 67% of production during the same period last year.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense increased $16.7 million, or 26.2%, to $80.4 million during second quarter 2017. Included in non-interest expenses are $10.1 million of expenses related to the acquisition which the Company considers to be non-core. Exclusive of these non-core expenses, core non-interest expense was $70.3 million during the second quarter of 2017, compared to $63.0 million during first quarter 2017 and $63.8 million during second quarter 2016, with the increase primarily attributable to the BOTC transaction.

Salaries and wages expense increased $2.3 million, or 8.9%, to $28 million during second quarter 2017, as compared to $25.7 million during first quarter 2017. BOTC salaries and First Interstate Bank severance payments unrelated to the acquisition account for $2.1 million of this increase.

Core deposit intangible amortization expense increased $433 thousand, from $630 thousand during first quarter 2017, to $1.1 million during second quarter 2017 and increased $236 thousand from $827 thousand during second quarter 2016. The increase in amortization expense is directly attributable to the higher level of core deposit intangibles recorded as a result of the acquisition.

Other expenses increased $3.4 million, or 17.1%, to $23.4 million during second quarter 2017, as compared to $20 million during first quarter 2017, primarily due to normal fluctuations in operating expenses and the acquisition of BOTC.

BALANCE SHEET

As a result of the recent acquisition of BOTC, total loans increased $2.2 billion, or 39.9%, to $7.6 billion as of June 30, 2017, compared to $5.4 billion as of March 31, 2017. Exclusive of the acquisition and the disposition of $31.7 million of shared national credits acquired from BOTC, total loans grew organically $96.2 million or 1.8% from March 31, 2017.

Total real estate loans increased $1.7 billion, or 48.3%, to $5.1 billion as of June 30, 2017. Included in this portfolio, commercial real estate loans increased $1.0 billion, or 54.8%, to $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2017. Exclusive of the acquisition, total commercial real estate loans increased organically $38.8 million, or 2.1% quarter over quarter. Construction loans increased $215.8 million, or 46.4%, to $681.2 million as of June 30, 2017, from $465.4 million as of March 31, 2017. Exclusive of acquired BOTC loans, construction loans decreased $21.5 million, or 4.6%, quarter-over-quarter.

Indirect consumer loans increased $16.5 million, or 2.2%, to $779.0 million as of June 30 2017, from $762.5 million as of March 31, 2017, with all of the increase attributable to organic growth. The BOTC acquisition will provide the Company with the opportunity to expand this portfolio to clients in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

Agriculture loans increased $23.6 million, or 18.8%, to $149.1 million as of June 30, 2017. Exclusive of the acquisition, total agriculture loans increased organically $22.9 million, or 18.3% quarter-over-quarter.

Goodwill and intangible assets, excluding mortgage servicing rights, increased $276.4 million, from $249.9 million as of March 31, 2017, to $526.3 million as of June 30, 2017. The increase is attributable to goodwill and core deposit intangibles acquired in the acquisition.

Total deposits increased $2.7 billion to $10.0 billion as of June 30, 2017, from $7.3 billion as of March 31, 2017, as a result of the acquisition. Exclusive of the $2.7 billion in deposits that were acquired as a result of the BOTC acquisition, deposits remained stable quarter-over-quarter. As of June 30, 2017, the mix of total deposits was 29% non-interest bearing demand, 28% interest bearing demand, 31% savings and 12% time, a slight shift from the prior quarter as BOTC deposit balances were more heavily weighted to non-interest bearing demand deposits.

CREDIT QUALITY

As of June 30, 2017 non-performing assets increased to $97.3 million, or 9.9%, compared to $88.5 million as of March 31, 2017. Non-accrual loans increased approximately $2.1 million, to $76.7 million as of June 30, 2017, as compared to $74.6 million during first quarter 2017 as a result of a commercial real estate loan and a commercial loan in Montana. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more increased $4.8 million, or over 100%, primarily due to the BOTC acquisition. Other real estate owned increased $1.9 million primarily as a result of a commercial property acquired from BOTC.

Criticized loans increased $46.1 million, or 12%, to $429.7 million as of June 30, 2017, from $383.6 million as of March 31, 2017 as a result of the BOTC acquisition. BOTC criticized loans of $62.0 million resulted in increases to special mention of $35 million, substandard of $23 million and doubtful of $4 million. First Interstate Bank criticized loans decreased by $16 million, mainly in the special mention and substandard categories.

Net loan charge-offs increased $1.2 million to $2.9 million during second quarter 2017, as compared to $1.7 million during first quarter 2017, and increased $0.8 million from $2.1 million from second quarter 2016. The Company's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of period end loans decreased from 1.41% as of March 31, 2017, to 1.00% as of June 30, 2017, as a result of higher loan balances from BOTC acquired loans, which were recorded at fair value in purchase accounting, with no corresponding allowance for loan losses. The provisional purchase accounting mark on the loans acquired in the BOTC transaction was $31.7 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, this release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to provide supplemental perspectives on capital adequacy, operating results, performance trends and financial condition. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies because other companies may not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. As a result, the usefulness of these measures to investors may be limited, and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company adjusts certain capital adequacy measures to exclude intangible assets except mortgage servicing rights. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators, are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance due to the importance that analysts place on these ratios and also allow investors to compare certain aspects of the Company's capitalization to other companies.

The Company also adjusts earnings and certain performance ratios to exclude certain non-core revenues and expenses, including investment securities net gains or losses, acquisition expenses consisting primarily of professional fees, and nonrecurring litigation expenses and recoveries. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating operating trends by excluding amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations. These non-core income and expense adjustments may be presented before or net of estimated income tax expense. In addition, the Company adjusts net income to exclude income tax expense and provision for loan losses. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in evaluating operating trends by excluding pre-tax amounts which the Company views as fluctuating widely based on economic conditions.

See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures table included herein for a reconciliation of the above described non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
