(NASDAQ: TLMR) ("Talmer") today reported fourth quarter 2015 net income of $13.1 million, compared to $20.0 million for the third quarter of 2015 and $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.19 for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $0.27 for the third quarter of 2015 and $0.16 for the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition, on January 25, 2016, the Board of Directors of Talmer increased the quarterly cash dividend on its Class A common stock to $0.05 from $0.01 per share.

On December 28, 2015, Talmer Bank and Trust ("the Bank") entered into an early termination agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") that terminated the Bank's loss share agreements with the FDIC. Also on December 28, 2015, Talmer entered into an agreement with the FDIC that terminated the FDIC's warrant to purchase 390,000 shares of our Class B non-voting common stock. The early loss share and warrant termination resulted in a pre-tax charge of $20.4 million, or approximately $13.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted average share, after-tax. As a result of the settlement, there was no negative accretion on the FDIC indemnification asset for the fourth quarter nor will there be any future expenses associated with the FDIC clawback liability or FDIC warrant.

Fourth Quarter 2015 Compared to Third Quarter 2015


    --  Net income was $13.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted average common share,
        in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $20.0 million, or $0.27 per
        diluted average common share, for the third quarter of 2015.  The
        decrease in net income in the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due
        to the after-tax charge resulting from the early termination of the
        Bank's FDIC loss share agreements and the FDIC's warrant of
        approximately $13.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted average share.
    --  Net loans increased during the fourth quarter of 2015 by $107.0 million,
        driven by strong growth in commercial and industrial lending, partially
        offset by acquired loan run-off.
    --  Total deposits declined $110.9 million, to $5.0 billion as of December
        31, 2015, compared to September 30, 2015, primarily due to a decline in
        brokered deposits of $106.6 million.
    --  Net interest income increased to $58.4 million in the fourth quarter of
        2015, compared to $55.6 million in the third quarter of 2015.  Net
        interest income growth was primarily due to the benefit provided by a
        $4.4 million reduction in negative accretion on the FDIC indemnification
        asset, partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in interest on loans
        due significantly to the run-off of acquired, higher-yielding loans. 
        Our net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 3.89% in the fourth
        quarter of 2015, compared to 3.76% in the third quarter of 2015, due in
        large part to the removal of the negative yield on the FDIC
        indemnification asset.
    --  Noninterest income increased $4.2 million to $23.6 million in the fourth
        quarter of 2015, compared to the third quarter of 2015.  Noninterest
        income was impacted by a benefit to earnings of $1.4 million due to the
        change in the fair value of loan servicing rights, compared to a
        detriment to earnings of $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2015,
        which is a key component of the $5.6 million increase in mortgage
        banking and other loan fees.  Fourth quarter of 2015 noninterest income
        also benefited from the Bank's early termination of the FDIC loss share
        agreements as we did not have to record a liability due to the FDIC for
        what would have been the FDIC's share of recoveries on covered loans
        recognized in the fourth quarter of 2015.
    --  Noninterest expense increased $20.8 million, to $68.6 million in the
        fourth quarter of 2015, compared to the third quarter of 2015, primarily
        due to the $20.4 million net loss on the early termination of the Bank's
        FDIC loss share agreements and the FDIC's warrant.
    --  Total shareholder's equity of $725.2 million as of December 31, 2015,
        increased $10.4 million compared to September 30, 2015.  The increase is
        primarily the result of fourth quarter of 2015 net income of $13.1
        million, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other
        comprehensive income primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of
        our investment securities portfolio.

Income Statement

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $58.4 million, compared to $55.6 million in the prior quarter. Our net interest margin was 3.89% in the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of 13 basis points from 3.76% in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in our net interest margin in the fourth quarter was due in large part to the removal of the negative yield on the FDIC indemnification asset as the Bank terminated its FDIC loss share agreements.

Our net interest margin benefits from discount accretion on our purchased credit impaired loan portfolio, a component of the accretable yield. The accretable yield for purchased credit impaired loans includes both the expected coupon of the loan and the discount accretion, and is recognized as interest income over the expected remaining life of the loans. For the fourth and third quarters of 2015, the yield on loans was 4.83% and 5.09%, respectively, while the yield generated using only the expected coupon would have been 4.17% and 4.34%, respectively. The difference between the actual yield earned on total loans and the yield generated based on the contractual coupon (not including any interest income for loans in nonaccrual status) represents excess accretable yield. Our net interest margin, prior to the fourth quarter of 2015, was also adversely impacted by the negative yield on the FDIC indemnification asset. The combination of the excess accretable yield, offset by the negative yield on the FDIC indemnification asset in the third quarter of 2015, benefited net interest margin by 52 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 30 basis points in the third quarter of 2015. Therefore, excluding the benefit of excess accretable yield and negative yield on the FDIC indemnification asset, our net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2015 was 3.37% compared to 3.46% in the third quarter of 2015. The decline in our core net interest margin was due in large part to the decline in yield on our loan portfolio driven by run-off of higher yielding acquired loans being replaced with new loans with lower, current market-competitive rates.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $4.2 million to $23.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to the third quarter of 2015. The most significant contributor to this increase was an increase in mortgage banking and other loan fees of $5.6 million. The increase in mortgage banking and other loan fees was impacted by a benefit of $1.4 million due to the change in the fair value of loan servicing rights compared to a detriment to earnings of $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2015. The change in the fair value of loan servicing rights in the fourth quarter of 2015 was due mainly to upward movements in market interest rates during the period compared to the falling rate environment in the third quarter of 2015. Fourth quarter of 2015 noninterest income also benefited from the termination of the Bank's FDIC loss share agreements. FDIC loss share income was negative $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2015, representing the amounts due to the FDIC related to significant credit recoveries on covered loans.

As we have noted in prior quarters, we have chosen not to hedge our investment in loan servicing rights, though we may choose to do so in future periods. Since our loan servicing rights are accounted for under the fair value measurement method, decreases in interest rates generally result in a detriment to earnings due to an anticipated increase in prepayments speeds, whereas increases in interest rates generally result in a benefit to earnings due to the opposite effect. While there has been meaningful reported earnings volatility due to our decision not to hedge our loan servicing rights, the cumulative acquisition-to-date benefit to pre-tax earnings due to the changes in fair value has been $658 thousand since the majority of our servicing rights were acquired on January 1, 2013.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2015 increased $20.8 million, to $68.6 million, compared to the third quarter of 2015. The increase in noninterest expense is primarily due to the pre-tax charge of $20.4 million taken in the fourth quarter of 2015 as a result of the early termination of the Bank's FDIC loss share agreements and the FDIC's warrant.

Our core efficiency ratio was 59.51% and 58.54%, for the fourth and third quarters of 2015, respectively. The efficiency ratio is a measure of noninterest expense as a percent of net interest income and noninterest income. The core efficiency ratio begins with the efficiency ratio and then excludes certain items deemed by management to not be related to regular operations. The fourth quarter of 2015 core efficiency ratio excludes the $20.4 million charge we took to terminate the Bank's FDIC loss share agreements and the FDIC's warrant, the benefit received from the fair value adjustment to our loan servicing rights of $1.4 million and transaction and integration related costs of $328 thousand. The third quarter of 2015 core efficiency ratio excludes the detriment received from the fair value adjustment to our loan servicing rights of $3.8 million, transaction and integration related costs of $113 thousand, and the FDIC loss sharing income, which was a detriment of $2.7 million.

Credit Quality

As a result of the early termination of the Bank's FDIC loss share agreements in the fourth quarter of 2015 all loans and allowance previously classified as covered were reclassified to uncovered.

The fourth quarter of 2015 resulted in a benefit for loan losses of $4.6 million, compared to a provision for loan losses of $700 thousand in the third quarter of 2015. The increase to a benefit for loan losses was primarily due to increases in credit recoveries on acquired loans. At December 31, 2015, the allowance for loan losses on loans was $54.0 million, or 1.12% of total loans, compared to $55.8 million, or 1.19% of total loans, at September 30, 2015. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses for the quarter was primarily due to credit recoveries on acquired loans that were paid off and from payments received on loans previously carrying an allowance for loan loss.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, we completed re-estimations of cash flow expectations for purchased credit impaired loans acquired in each of our acquisitions. For the re-estimations, loans with changes in cash flow expectations resulted in net additional loan loss provisions of $731 thousand. The re-estimations also resulted in a $10.7 million improvement in the gross cash flow expectations for purchased credit impaired loans, which will be recognized prospectively as an increase in the accretable yield.

All of our acquired loan portfolios are continuing to perform significantly better than initially anticipated.

Balance Sheet and Capital Management

Total assets increased $91.9 million to $6.6 billion at December 31, 2015 compared to $6.5 billion at September 30, 2015. The primary drivers of the increase in assets in the quarter ended December 31, 2015 were increases in net total loans of $107.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $57.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in loans held for sale of $42.0 million and the elimination of the FDIC indemnification asset of $30.6 million and the FDIC receivable of $2.6 million. The decrease in loans held for sale primarily reflects a reduction in the overall volume of residential loan originations.

Net total loans at December 31, 2015 increased $107.0 million to $4.8 billion, compared to September 30, 2015. Loan growth was primarily driven by growth in commercial and industrial loans. We continue to be focused on sourcing quality loan growth to overcome the run-off of higher-yielding acquired loans. Acquired loans, which total $1.4 billion, or 29.7% of total loans, at December 31, 2015 are reported on the balance sheet at the contractual balance, net of remaining discount resulting from acquisition accounting and charge-offs taken since acquisition.

Total liabilities were $5.9 billion at December 31, 2015 compared to $5.8 billion at September 30, 2015. The $81.4 million increase in liabilities in the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings of $246.9 million, partially offset by decreases in total deposits of $110.9 million and long-term debt of $20.9 million and the elimination of our FDIC clawback liability of $27.3 million and FDIC warrant payable of $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in total deposits was primarily due to decreases in brokered deposits of $106.6 million and noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $39.0 million, partially offset by growth in interest-bearing demand deposits of $36.0 million.

Total shareholders' equity of $725.2 million as of December 31, 2015 increased $10.4 million compared to September 30, 2015. The increase is primarily the result of our net income of $13.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our investment securities portfolio. Our Tier 1 leverage ratio was estimated to be 10.21% at December 31, 2015, compared to 10.21% at September 30, 2015.

Subsequent Event

In January 2016, a settlement was finalized with the Internal Revenue Service regarding First Place Financial Corp.'s utilization of bad debt expense incurred prior to Talmer's acquisition of First Place Bank involving several tax years. The Bank, as successor to First Place Bank, was granted court approval to act as substitute agent for First Place Financial Corp. consolidated group for the purposes of amending various returns, which ultimately impact the tax filings of the Bank. The benefit expected as a result of the amended filings is approximately $4.2 million that will be recorded in the first quarter of 2016 as an offset to the quarterly income tax expense.

We are in the process of re-examining the tax attributes associated with our prior acquisitions and we have identified information that may cause us to adjust our estimated deferred tax assets associated with our acquisition of Talmer West Bank on January 1, 2014. While our analysis is not yet complete, it is possible that we may need to reduce the deferred tax assets associated with our acquisition of Talmer West Bank by approximately $16 million. If we make this adjustment, we would reduce our currently reported equity by a like amount, which we expect would have only an immaterial effect on our reported regulatory capital ratios, since a large majority of our deferred tax assets are disallowed from regulatory capital both before and after the adoption of Basel III. If we conclude that an adjustment is necessary, we anticipate reducing the bargain purchase gain recorded as a result of our acquisition of Talmer West Bank in the first quarter of 2014. A one-time adjustment of this nature would have no impact on our future earnings. We are performing this analysis in consultation with our tax, legal and accounting experts. We plan to have the result of our analysis and a conclusion on this matter known before we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K due February 29, 2016.

As announced and further described in a separate press release issued by Talmer today, Talmer has entered into a merger agreement with Chemical Financial Corporation.
