“We are excited to capitalize on some of the most vibrant, fastest growing markets in the country. This quarter, we continued to deploy our excess liquidity into higher yielding earning assets and saw expansion in our net interest margin. Excluding the impact created by the purchase accounting provision and transaction costs, we had another quarter of strong earnings” said Kevin P. Riley, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. “The completion of our merger with Great Western Bancorp at the beginning of February has further increased our exposure to attractive markets, while adding a talented team of commercial bankers that will benefit from the greater resources and support they will have as part of First Interstate. The integration is proceeding smoothly and we remain on track to realize the cost savings projected for the transaction during the second half of the year.

“As a result of the strong progress that Great Western made in resolving its problem loans prior to the completion of the merger and the pro-active resolution efforts we have taken since the closing, we now expect the resolution of credit quality issues to be less of a headwind to total loan growth in our first year of combined operations than we initially anticipated. Our loan pipeline remains strong, which should lead to continued favorable shifts in our mix of earning assets and positive trends in our level of profitability,” said Mr. Riley.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

On April 27, 2022, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.41 per common share, payable on May 20, 2022, to common stockholders of record as of May 10, 2022.

RECENT ACQUISITION

On February 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Great Western, the parent company of GWB, a Sioux Falls, South Dakota based community bank with 174 banking offices across Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. GWB was merged with our existing bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank, contemporaneously with the closing of the parent company merger. The core system conversion is expected to occur over the weekend of May 21, 2022.

Consideration for the acquisition totaled approximately $1.7 billion consisting of the issuance of 46.9 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $36.76 per share, the opening price of the Company’s Class A common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ stock exchange on the acquisition date.

The Company has recorded provisionally the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired from GWB provisionally and will finalize the amounts during the year. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company recorded provisional goodwill of $516.0 million, customer relationship intangible assets of $22.8 million, and core deposit intangible assets of $49.1 million.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $56.2 million, or 46.1%, to $178.0 million, during the first quarter of 2022, compared to $121.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of the impact of the GWB acquisition and an expansion in our net interest margin, which was partially offset by a decrease of $6.9 million in PPP loan income during the first quarter of 2022. Net interest income increased $57.3 million, or 47.5%, during the first quarter of 2022, from $120.7 million during the first quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of the impact of the GWB acquisition, which was partially offset by a decrease of $9.5 million in PPP loan income compared to the first quarter of 2021.

• Interest accretion attributable to the fair valuation of acquired loans from acquisitions contributed $7.6 million, $1.9 million, and $2.3 million to net interest income during the first quarter of 2022, the fourth quarter of 2021, and the first quarter of 2021, respectively. Interest accretion attributable to the GWB acquisition accounted for $6.0 million during the first quarter of 2022.

• The Company earned a total of $2.8 million of interest income, including loan fees, on PPP loans with average balances of $91.6 million during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $9.7 million of interest income, including loan fees, on PPP loans with average balances of $200.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2021 and $12.3 million of interest income, including loan fees, on PPP loans with average balances of $764.0 million during the first quarter of 2021. The Company had $1.3 million of unearned deferred fees related to PPP loans accrued as of March 31, 2022.

The net interest margin ratio was 2.80% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2.69% reported during the fourth quarter of 2021 and 3.04% during the first quarter of 2021. Excluding interest accretion from the fair value of acquired loans and PPP income, on a quarter-over-quarter basis the net interest margin expanded 19 basis points primarily the result of a shift in the mix of earning assets toward loans, and an increase in the yield on investment securities and cash. On the same basis year-over-year, the decrease in net interest margin was the result of a reduction in yields on earning assets, due to a shift in the mix of earning assets toward investment securities, and lower yields on both loans and investment securities.

PROVISION FOR (REDUCTION OF) CREDIT LOSSES

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $61.3 million, compared to a reduction of $9.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, and a reduction of $5.1 million during the first quarter of 2021. The provision during the first quarter of 2022 includes $70.4 million related to the day two GWB acquisition impact, of which $68.3 million is related to the acquired non-PCD funded loans and $2.1 million is related to the unfunded commitments.

The allowance for credit losses is updated quarterly based on the current loan portfolio, asset quality metrics, and the results of the current economic outlook. For the first quarter of 2022, the allowance for credit losses was impacted by net charge-offs of $16.7 million, or an annualized 0.47% of average loans outstanding, compared to net charge-offs of $2.7 million, or an annualized 0.11% of average loans outstanding, for the fourth quarter of 2021, and net charge-offs of $2.9 million, or an annualized 0.12% of average loans outstanding, for the first quarter of 2021.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loans was 1.46%, 1.31%, and 1.38% at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in the percentage from December 31, 2021 is primarily a result of GWB acquired loans, which included a higher percentage of criticized assets than the Company’s legacy loans. Coverage of non-performing loans decreased to 203.3% at March 31, 2022, compared to 441.5% at December 31, 2021 and 330.0% at March 31, 2021, as a result of higher levels of non-performing loans related to the GWB acquisition.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased $11.8 million, or 31.6%, to $49.2 million during the first quarter of 2022, as compared to $37.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2021 and increased $11.1 million, or 29.1%, from $38.1 million during the first quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of the GWB acquisition.

Payment services revenues increased $4.6 million, or 45.1%, during the first quarter of 2022, when compared to the $10.2 million during the first quarter of 2021.

Mortgage banking revenues increased $0.4 million, or 5.0%, to $8.4 million during the first quarter of 2022, as compared to $8.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2021. Included in the first quarter of 2022 was a $3.4 million recovery of mortgage servicing rights impairment compared to a $1.0 million recovery of impairment during the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding the impairment recovery from both quarters, the decrease in revenues was driven by lower net realized gain-on-sale margins and a decline in the volume of loans sold when compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Mortgage banking revenues decreased $3.2 million, or 27.6%, during the first quarter of 2022 from $11.6 million during the first quarter of 2021.

Other income increased $3.2 million, or 114.3%, to $6.0 million during the first quarter of 2022, as compared to $2.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to a $1.4 million gain on the disposition of the GWB acquired subordinated debt and an increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance during the first quarter of 2022.

Salaries and wages expenses increased $17.7 million, or 41.8%, to $60.0 million during the first quarter of 2022, compared to $42.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of the additional employee-related expenses as a result of the acquisition of GWB, partially offset by lower commission expenses. Salaries and wages expenses increased $21.0 million, or 53.8%, from $39.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of the additional employee-related expenses as a result of the acquisition of GWB, which were partially offset by lower commission expenses.

Employee benefit expenses increased $9.1 million, or 75.2%, to $21.2 million during the first quarter of 2022, as compared to $12.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to an increase in expense related to the GWB acquisition and seasonal first quarter reset of payroll taxes.

Loans held for investment included PPP loans, net of deferred fees, of $56.7 million and $96.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Excluding the impact of GWB acquired loans and PPP loans, loans held for investment as of March 31, 2022, decreased from December 31, 2021, primarily due to charge-offs and pay downs of GWB acquired loans.

The loans held for investment to deposit ratio increased to 60.3%, as of March 31, 2022, compared to 57.4% as of December 31, 2021.

These increases were partially offset by decreases in savings deposits and interest-bearing time deposits.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements increased $19.9 million, or 1.9%, to $1,071.0 million as of March 31, 2022, from $1,051.1 million as of December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, non-performing assets increased $109.4 million, or 368.4%, to $139.1 million, compared to $29.7 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily driven by loans acquired from GWB.

Criticized loans increased $636.4 million, or 293.7%, to $853.1 million as of March 31, 2022, from $216.7 million as of December 31, 2021, driven by loans acquired from GWB and the down grade of a commercial real estate loan. This increase in criticized loans was partially offset by the pay downs in commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. Criticized loans acquired from GWB totaled $655.0 million as of March 31, 2022.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, this press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate our performance relative to our capital adequacy standards: (i) tangible common stockholders’ equity; (ii) tangible assets; (iii) tangible book value per common share; (iv) tangible common stockholders’ equity to tangible assets; (v) average tangible common stockholders’ equity; and (vi) return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity. Tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated as total common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Tangible assets are calculated as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Tangible book value per common share is calculated as tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible common stockholders’ equity to tangible assets is calculated as tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by tangible assets. Average tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated as average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common stockholders’ equity. 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. They also should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company adjusts the foregoing capital adequacy measures to exclude goodwill and other intangible assets (except mortgage servicing rights), adjusts its non-interest expense to exclude acquisition related expenses, and adjusts its net interest margin ratio to exclude the impact of the recovery of charged-off interest and interest accretion on acquired loans. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators and to present on a consistent basis our and our acquired companies’ organic continuing operations without regard to the acquisition costs and adjustments that we consider to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside our control, are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance because, as a general matter, they either do not represent an actual cash expense and are inconsistent in amount and frequency depending upon the timing and size of our acquisitions (including the size, complexity and/or volume of past acquisitions, which may drive the magnitude of acquisition related costs, but may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of future acquisitions or related costs), or they cannot be anticipated or estimated in a particular period (in particular as it relates to unexpected recovery amounts). This impacts the ratios that are important to analysts and allows investors to compare certain aspects of the Company’s capitalization to other companies.

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

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that Could Affect Future Results

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder, that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Any statements about our, Great Western’s or the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations, strategies, beliefs, or future performance or events constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are identified by words or phrases such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “trends,” “objectives,” “continues” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “may,” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, estimates and other important factors that change over time and could cause actual results to differ materially from any results, performance or events expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include statements about the business combination transaction between FIBK and Great Western (the “Transaction”), including future financial and operating results, the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, and other statements that are not historical facts. Furthermore, the following factors, among others, may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations in the forward-looking statements, including those set forth in this press release:

• new, or changes in, governmental regulations or policies;
• tax legislative initiatives or assessments;
• more stringent capital requirements, to the extent they may become applicable to us;
• changes in accounting standards;
• any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including the Community Reinvestment Act and fair lending laws, the USA PATRIOT ACT, Office of Foreign Asset Control guidelines and requirements, the Bank Secrecy Act, and the related Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s guidelines and regulations;
• lending risks and risks associated with loan sector concentrations;
• supply-chain disruptions, labor shortages, and any other decline in economic conditions that could reduce demand for our products and services and negatively impact the credit quality of loans;
• loan credit losses exceeding estimates;
• the soundness of other financial institutions;
• changes in oil and gas prices, and declining demand for coal could negatively impact the demand and credit quality of loans;
• the availability of financing sources for working capital and other needs;
• a loss of deposits or a change in product mix that increases the Company’s funding costs;
• changes in interest rates;
• changes in inflationary pressures;
• changes to United States trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs;
• competition from new or existing competitors;
• variable interest rates tied to London Interbank Offered Rate that may no longer be available or may become unreliable;
• cyber-security risks, including “denial-of-service attacks,” “hacking,” and “identity theft” that could result in the disclosure of confidential information;
• privacy, information security, and data protection laws, rules, and regulations that affect or limit how we collect and use personal information;
• the potential impairment of our goodwill;
• exposure to losses in collateralized loan obligation securities;
• our reliance on other companies that provide key components of our business infrastructure;
• events that may tarnish our reputation;
• the loss of the services of our management team and directors;
• our ability to attract and retain qualified employees to operate our business;
• costs associated with repossessed properties, including environmental remediation;
• the effectiveness of our systems of internal operating controls;
• our ability to implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our clients;
• our ability to execute on our intended expansion plans;
• difficulties we may face in combining the operations of acquired entities or assets with our own operations or assessing the effectiveness of businesses in which we make strategic investments or with which we enter into strategic contractual relationships;
• the volatility in the price and trading volume of our common stock;
• “anti-takeover” provisions and the regulations, which may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us even in circumstances that could be deemed beneficial to stockholders;
• changes in our dividend policy or our ability to pay dividends;
• our common stock not being an insured deposit;
• the potential dilutive effect of future equity issuances;
• the subordination of our common stock to our existing and future indebtedness;
• the COVID-19 pandemic and the U.S. government’s response to the pandemic; and
• the effect of global conditions, geopolitical conflicts, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, fires, and other natural catastrophic events.

These factors are not necessarily all the factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm our results.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above and included and described in more detail in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, under the caption “Risk Factors.” Interested parties are urged to read in their entirety such risk factors prior to making any investment decision with respect to the Company. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of these statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
