NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("consolidated financial statements") of First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments that management deems necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.2019.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and general practices within the banking industry. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include certain information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("20172018 10-K"). The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Assets held in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Company or its subsidiaries and are not included in the consolidated financial statements.
The accounting policies related to business combinations, loans, the allowance for credit losses, lease obligations, and derivative financial instruments are presented below. For a summary of all other significant accounting policies, see Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the Company's 20172018 10-K.
Business Combinations – Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with any excess of the purchase price of the acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Alternatively, a gain is recorded if the fair value of assets purchased exceeds the fair value of liabilities assumed and consideration paid. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from the effective date of the acquisition.
Loans – Loans held-for-investment are loans that the Company intends to hold until they are paid in full and are carried at the principal amount outstanding, including certain net deferred loan origination fees. Loan origination fees, commitment fees, and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net amount is amortized as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the related loans or commitments and included in interest income. Fees related to letters of credit are amortized into fee income over the contractual life of the commitment. Other credit-related fees are recognized as fee income when earned. The Company's net investment in direct financing leases is included in loans and consists of future minimum lease payments and estimated residual values, net of unearned income. Interest income on loans is accrued based on principal amounts outstanding. Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value and included in other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Acquired and Covered Loans – Covered loans consists of loans acquired by the Company in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")-assisted transactions, which are covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC (the "FDIC Agreements"), under which the FDIC reimburses the Company for the majority of the losses and eligible expenses related to these assets during the coverage period. Acquired loans consist of all other loans that were acquired in business combinations that are not covered by the FDIC Agreements. Certain loans that were previously classified as covered loans are no longer covered under the FDIC Agreements, and are included in acquired loans. Covered loans and acquired loans are included within loans held-for-investment.
Acquired and covered loans are separated into (i) non-purchased credit impaired ("non-PCI") and (ii) purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans. Non-PCI loans include loans that did not have evidence of credit deterioration since origination at the acquisition date. PCI loans include loans that had evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it was probable at acquisition that the Company would not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Evidence of credit deterioration

was evaluated using various indicators, such as past due and non-accrual status. Leases and revolving loans do not qualify to be accounted for as PCI loans and are accounted for as non-PCI loans.
The acquisition adjustment related to non-PCI loans is amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the related loans. If an acquired non-PCI loan is renewed subsequent to the acquisition date, any remaining acquisition adjustment is accreted into interest income and the loan is considered a new loan that is no longer classified as an acquired loan.
PCI loans are accounted for based on estimates of expected future cash flows. To estimate the fair value, the Company generally aggregates purchased consumer loans and commercial loans into pools of loans with common risk characteristics, such as delinquency status, credit score, and internal risk ratings. The fair values of larger balance commercial loans are estimated on an individual basis. Expected future cash flows in excess of the fair value of loans at the purchase date ("accretable yield") are recorded as interest income over the life of the loans if the timing and amount of the expected future cash flows can be reasonably estimated. The non-accretable yield represents the difference between contractually required payments and the expected future cash flows determined at acquisition. Subsequent increases in expected future cash flows are offset against the allowance for credit losses to the extent an allowance has been established or otherwise recognized as interest income prospectively. The present value of any decreases in expected future cash flows is recognized by recording a charge-off through the allowance for loan losses or providing an allowance for loan losses.
90-Days Past Due Loans –The– The Company's accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is sufficiently collateralized and in the process of renewal or collection.
Non-accrual Loans Generally, corporate loans are placed on non-accrual status (i) when either principal or interest payments become 90 days or more past due unless the credit is sufficiently collateralized and in the process of renewal or collection, or (ii) when an individual analysis of a borrower's creditworthiness warrants a downgrade to non-accrual regardless of past due status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed, and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. After the loan is placed on non-accrual status, all debt service payments are applied to the principal on the loan. Future interest income may only be recorded on a cash basis after recovery of principal is reasonably assured. Non-accrual loans are returned to accrual status when the financial position of the borrower and other relevant factors indicate that the Company will collect all principal and interest.
Commercial loans and loans secured by real estate are charged-off when deemed uncollectible. A loss is recorded if the net realizable value of the underlying collateral is less than the outstanding principal and interest. Consumer loans that are not secured by real estate are subject to mandatory charge-off at a specified delinquency date and are usually not classified as non-accrual prior to being charged-off. Closed-end consumer loans, which include installment, automobile, and single payment loans, are usually charged-off no later than the end of the month in which the loan becomes 120 days past due.
PCI loans are generally considered accruing loans unless reasonable estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows cannot be determined. Loans without reasonable future cash flow estimates are classified as non-accrual loans, and interest income is not recognized on those loans until the timing and amount of the expected future cash flows can be reasonably determined.
Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs") – A restructuring is considered a TDR when (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, and (ii) the creditor grants a concession, such as forgiveness of principal, reduction of the interest rate, changes in payments, or extension of the maturity date. Loans are not classified as TDRs when the modification is short-term or results in an insignificant delay in payments. The Company's TDRs are determined on a case-by-case basis.
The Company does not accrue interest on a TDR unless it believes collection of all principal and interest under the modified terms is reasonably assured. For a TDR to begin accruing interest, the borrower must demonstrate some level of past performance and the future capacity to perform under the modified terms. Generally, six months of consecutive payment performance under the restructured terms is required before a TDR is returned to accrual status. However, the period could vary depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the loan. An evaluation of the borrower's current creditworthiness is used to assess the borrower's capacity to repay the loan under the modified terms. This evaluation includes an estimate of expected future cash flows, evidence of strong financial position, and estimates of the value of collateral, if applicable. For TDRs to be removed from TDR status in the calendar year after the restructuring, the loans must (i) have an interest rate and terms that reflect market conditions at the time of restructuring, and (ii) be in compliance with the modified terms. If the loan was restructured at below market rates and terms, it continues to be separately reported as restructured until it is paid in full or charged-off.
Impaired Loans – Impaired loans consist of corporate non-accrual loans and TDRs. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will not collect all contractual principal and interest. With the exception of accruing TDRs, impaired loans are classified as non-accrual and are exclusive of smaller homogeneous loans, such as home equity, 1-4 family mortgages, and installment loans. Impaired loans with balances under a specified threshold are not individually evaluated for impairment. For all other impaired loans, impairment is measured by comparing the estimated value of the loan to the recorded book value.

Table of Contents



The value of collateral-dependent loans is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell. The value of other loans is measured using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's initial effective interest rate.
Allowance for Credit Losses – The allowance for credit losses is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments, and is maintained by management at a level believed adequate to absorb estimated losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. Determination of the allowance for credit losses is subjective since it requires significant estimates and management judgment, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans, consideration of current economic trends, and other factors.
Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses, while recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are charged to expense through the provision for loan losses. The amount of provision depends on a number of factors, including net charge-off levels, loan growth, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, and the Company's assessment of the allowance for loan losses based on the methodology discussed below.
Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses consists of (i) specific reserves for individual loans where the recorded investment exceeds the value, (ii) an allowance based on a loss migration analysis that uses historical credit loss experience for each loan category, and (iii) an allowance based on other internal and external qualitative factors.
The specific reserves component of the allowance for loan losses is based on a periodic analysis of impaired loans exceeding a fixed dollar amount. If the value of an impaired loan is less than the recorded book value, the Company either establishes a valuation allowance (i.e., a specific reserve) equal to the excess of the book value over the collateral value of the loan as a component of the allowance for loan losses or charges off the amount if it is a confirmed loss.
The general reserve component is based on a loss migration analysis, which examines actual loss experience by loan category for a rolling 8-quarter period and the related internal risk rating for corporate loans. The loss migration analysis is updated quarterly, primarily using actual loss experience. This component is then adjusted based on management's consideration of many internal and external qualitative factors, including:
Changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, trends in the volume of loans, and trends in delinquent and non-accrual loans that could indicate that historical trends do not reflect current conditions.
Changes in credit policies and procedures, such as underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices.
Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of credit management and other relevant staff.
Changes in the quality of the Company's loan review system and Board of Directors oversight.
The effect of any concentration of credit and changes in the level of concentrations, such as loan type or risk rating.
Changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans.
Changes in the national and local economy that affect the collectability of various segments of the portfolio.
The effect of other external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the Company's loan portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses also consists of an allowance on acquired and covered non-PCI and PCI loans. No allowance for loan losses is recorded on acquired loans at the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition date, an allowance for credit losses is established as necessary to reflect credit deterioration. The acquired non-PCI allowance is based on management's evaluation of the acquired non-PCI loan portfolio giving consideration to the current portfolio balance, including the remaining acquisition adjustments, maturity dates, and overall credit quality. The allowance for covered non-PCI loans is calculated in the same manner as the general reserve component based on a loss migration analysis as discussed above. The acquired and covered PCI allowance reflects the difference between the carrying value and the discounted expected future cash flows of the acquired and covered PCI loans. On a periodic basis, the adequacy of this allowance is determined through a re-estimation of expected future cash flows on all of the outstanding acquired and covered PCI loans using either a probability of default/loss given default ("PD/LGD") methodology or a specific review methodology. The PD/LGD model is a loss model that estimates expected future cash flows using a probability of default curve and loss given default estimates. Acquired non-PCI loans that have renewed subsequent to the respective acquisition dates are no longer classified as acquired loans. Instead, they are included in the general loan population and allocated an allowance based on a loss migration analysis.
Reserve for Unfunded Commitments The Company also maintains a reserve for unfunded commitments, including letters of credit, for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The reserve for unfunded commitments is estimated using the loss migration analysis from the allowance for loan losses, adjusted for probabilities of future funding requirements. The reserve for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
The establishment of the allowance for credit losses involves a high degree of judgment given the difficulty of assessing the factors impacting loan repayment and estimating the timing and amount of losses. While management utilizes its best judgment and

Table of Contents



information available, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses depends on a variety of factors beyond the Company's control, including the performance of its loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and property values, and the interpretation of loan risk classifications by regulatory authorities.
Lease Obligations – The Company leases certain premises under non-cancelable operating leases in the normal course of business operations. These lease obligations result in the recognition of right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities. The amount of right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities recorded is based on the present value of future minimum lease payments. Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related premises and interest associated with the net present value of future minimum lease payments is included in net occupancy and equipment expense in the consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments – To provide derivative products to customers and in the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into derivative transactions as part of its overall interest rate risk management strategy to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings and expected future cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either other assets or other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Subsequent changes in a derivative's fair value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a non-hedge derivative instrument. Fair value hedges are designed to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or liability attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk. Cash flow hedges are designed to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows to be received or paid related to an asset, liability, or other type of forecasted transaction. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, including its risk management objective and strategy at inception.
At the hedge's inception, a formal assessment is performed to determine the effectiveness of the derivative in offsetting changes in the fair values or expected future cash flows of the hedged items in the current period and prospectively. If a derivative instrument designated as a hedge is terminated or ceases to be highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively, and the gain or loss is amortized into earnings. For fair value hedges, the gain or loss is amortized over the remaining life of the hedged asset or liability. For cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is amortized over the same period that the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings. If the hedged item is disposed of, any fair value adjustments are included in the gain or loss from the disposition of the hedged item. If the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the gain or loss is included in earnings immediately.
For fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments, as well as changes in the fair value of the hedged item, are recognized in earnings in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and is reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue from Contracts with Customers:Leases: In MayFebruary of 2014,2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In March of 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to this guidance to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent consideration. Additional amendments to clarify the implementation guidance on the identification of performance obligations and licensing were issued in April of 2016 and narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients were issued in May of 2016. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and must be applied either retrospectively or using the modified retrospective approach.
The Company's revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which is excluded from the scope of this guidance, and noninterest income. The primary sources of revenue within noninterest income are service charges on deposit accounts, wealth management fees, card-based fees, and merchant servicing fees. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach, affected how the Company presents merchant servicing fees, merchant card expenses, card-based fees, and cardholder expenses, which are presented on a gross basis within noninterest income and noninterest expense for the prior period and are presented on a net basis within noninterest income for the current period. Total expenses of $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were netted in noninterest income. The adoption of this guidance did not impact net income, therefore, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Consistent with the modified retrospective approach, the Company did not adjust prior period amounts for the reclassification of merchant card expenses and cardholder expenses.
A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under the scope of this guidance follows:
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts – Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, and other deposit account related fees. The Company's performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based and therefore, the Company's performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges

12




Table of Contents



on deposit accounts is primarily received as a direct charge to customers' accounts. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, there was no impact to the method of recognizing revenue related to service charges on deposit accounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Wealth management fees – Wealth management fees represents quarterly fees due from wealth management customers as consideration for managing the customers' assets. Wealth management services include custody of assets, investment management, escrow services, fees for trust services and similar fiduciary activities. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed each quarter, which is generally the time that payment is received. Also included are fees received from a third-party broker-dealer as part of a revenue-sharing agreement. These fees are paid to us by the third-party on a quarterly basis and recognized ratably throughout the quarter as our performance obligation is satisfied. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, there was no impact to the method of recognizing revenue related to wealth management fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Card-based fees, net – Card-based fees, net consists of debit and credit card interchange fees for processing transactions, as well as, various fees for automated teller machineAccounting Standards Update ("ATM"ASU") and point-of-sale transactions processed through the related networks. Interchange, ATM, and point-of-sale fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value or a flat fee and are recognized daily, in connection with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Card-based fees are presented net of certain contract costs associated with the debit, credit and ATM card interchange networks. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, $1.8 million of cardholder expenses are netted against card-based fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Merchant servicing fees, net – Merchant servicing fees, net is included in other service charges, commissions, and fees in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company acts in an agency capacity with respect to its merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, deriving revenue from assisting another entity in transactions with our customers. Merchant servicing fees represent a percentage of the underlying net transaction volume or a flat fee and are recognized monthly. Merchant servicing fees are presented net of certain contract costs associated with the third-party merchant processing. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, $1.9 million of merchant card expenses are netted against merchant servicing fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Amendments to Guidance on Classifying and Measuring Financial Instruments: In January of 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will require entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value. Any subsequent changes in fair value will be recognized in net income unless the investments qualify for a new practicability exception. Equity securities totaling $27.9 million are no longer classified as trading securities or securities available-for-sale. This guidance also requires entities to adjust the fair value disclosures for financial instruments carried at amortized cost from an entry price to an exit price. No changes were made to the guidance for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans. Except as discussed above, the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018 did not materially impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments: In August of 2016, the FASB issued guidance clarifying certain cash flow presentation and classification issues to reduce diversity in practice.

The Company primarily lends to community-based and mid-sized businesses, commercial real estate customers, and consumers in its markets. Within these areas, the Company diversifies its loan portfolio by loan type, industry, and borrower.
It is the Company's policy to review each prospective credit to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of security or collateral prior to making a loan. In the event of borrower default, the Company seeks recovery in compliance with state lending laws, the Company's lending standards, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures. A discussion of risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment is presented in Note 5, "Loans" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 20172018 10-K.

8. LEASE OBLIGATIONS
The Company has the right to utilize certain premises under non-cancelable operating leases with varying maturity dates through the year ending December 31, 2033. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term on these leases was 11.26 years. Various leases contain renewal or termination options controlled by the Company or options to purchase the leased property during or at the expiration of the lease period at specific prices. Some leases contain escalation clauses calling for rentals to be adjusted for increased real estate taxes and other operating expenses or proportionately adjusted for increases in consumer or other price indices. Variable payments for real estate taxes and other operating expenses are considered to be non-lease components and are excluded from the determination of the lease liability. In addition, the Company rents or subleases certain real estate to third-parties. The following summary reflects the future minimum payments by year required under operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year and a reconciliation of those payments to the Company's lease liability as of March 31, 2019.

During 2016, the Bank completed a sale-leaseback transaction, whereby the Bank sold to a third-party 55 branches and concurrently entered into triple net lease agreements with certain affiliates of the third-party for each of the branches sold. The sale-leaseback transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $88.0 million, net of transaction related expenses, of which $5.5 million was immediately recognized in earnings. Remaining deferred pre-tax gains were $65.5 million as of December 31, 2018. Upon adoption of new

9. MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On March 19, 2019, the Company announced a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $180 million of its common stock. Stock repurchases under this program may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at the discretion of the Company. The program will be in effect for a one-year period, with repurchases made at prices to be determined by the Company.

9.11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into derivative transactions as part of its overall interest rate risk management strategy. The significant accounting policies related to derivative instruments and hedging activities are presented in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
Fair Value Hedges
The Company hedges the fair value of fixed rate commercial real estate loans using interest rate swaps through which the Company pays fixed amounts and receives variable amounts. These derivative contracts are designated as fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges
As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company hedged $1.1 billion of certain corporate variable rate loans using interest rate swaps through which the Company receives fixed amounts and pays variable amounts. The Company also hedged $980.0 million$1.1 billion of borrowed funds using forward starting interest rate swaps through which the Company receives variable amounts and pays fixed amounts. These transactions allow the Company to add stability to net interest income and manage its exposure to interest rate movements.

Forward starting interest rate swaps totaling $510.0$740.0 million began on various dates between June of 2015 and MarchMay of 2018, and mature between June of 2019 and MarchDecember of 2020.2023. The remaining forward starting interest rate swaps totaling $470.0$400.0 million begin at various dates between MayApril of 20182019 and February of 20202021 and mature between MayDecember of 20202021 and AprilFebruary of 2022.2023. The weighted-average fixed interest rate to be paid on these interest rate swaps that have not yet begun was 1.89%2.53% as of March 31, 2018.2019. These derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

Certain cash flow hedges are transacted through a clearinghouse ("centrally cleared") and their change in fair value is settled by the counterparties to the transaction, which results in no fair value.
Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on an after-tax basis and are subsequently reclassified to interest income or expense in the period that the forecasted hedged item impacts earnings. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company estimates that $1.3$1.5 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as a decrease to interest income over the next twelve months.
Other Derivative Instruments
The Company also enters into derivative transactions through capital market products with its commercial customers and simultaneously enters into an offsetting interest rate derivative transaction with third-parties. This transaction allows the Company's customers to effectively convert a variable rate loan into a fixed rate loan. Due to the offsetting nature of these transactions, the Company does not apply hedge accounting treatment. The Company's credit exposure on these derivative transactions results primarily from counterparty credit risk. The credit valuation adjustment ("CVA") is a fair value adjustment to the derivative to account for this risk. As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company's credit exposure was fully secured by the underlying collateral on customer loans and mitigated through netting arrangements with third-parties, therefore, no CVA was recorded. Capital market products income related to commercial customer derivative instruments oftotaled $1.3 million and $1.6 million and $1.4 million were recorded in noninterest income for the quarters ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively.

The Company occasionally enters into risk participation agreements with counterparty banks to transfer or assume a portion of the credit risk related to customer transactions. The amounts of these instruments were not material for any periods presented. The Company had no other derivative instruments as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for purely speculative purposes.

Credit Risk
Derivative instruments are inherently subject to credit risk, which represents the Company's risk of loss when the counterparty to a derivative contract fails to perform according to the terms of the agreement. Credit risk is managed by limiting and collateralizing the aggregate amount of net unrealized losses by transaction, monitoring the size and the maturity structure of the derivatives, and applying uniform credit standards. Company policy establishes limits on credit exposure to any single counterparty. In addition, the Company established bilateral collateral agreements with derivative counterparties that provide for exchanges of marketable securities or cash to collateralize either party's net losses above a stated minimum threshold. As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, these collateral agreements covered 100% of the fair value of the Company's outstanding fair value hedges. Derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross, rather than net, of pledged collateral amounts.

As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company's derivative instruments generally contained provisions that require the Company's debt to remain above a certain credit rating by each of the major credit rating agencies or that the Company maintain certain capital levels. If the Company's debt were to fall below that credit rating or the Company's capital were to fall below the required levels, it would be in violation of those provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could terminate the swap transaction and demand cash settlement of the derivative instrument in an amount equal to the derivative liability fair value. As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 the Company was in compliance with these provisions.

10.12. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES, AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Credit Commitments and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into a variety of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers and to conduct lending activities, including commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Other commitments includes installment and overdraft protection program commitments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a customer, subject to contractual terms and covenants. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, variable interest rates, and fee requirements, when applicable. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements.
In the event of a customer's non-performance, the Company's credit loss exposure is equal to the contractual amount of the commitments. The credit risk is essentially the same as extending loans to customers for the full contractual amount. The Company uses the same credit policies for credit commitments as its loans and minimizes exposure to credit loss through various collateral requirements.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. Letters of credit generally are contingent on the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the contract with the third-party and are often issued in favor of a municipality where construction is taking place to ensure the borrower adequately completes the construction. Commercial letters of credit are issued to facilitate transactions between a customer and a third-party based on agreed upon terms.
The maximum potential future payments guaranteed by the Company under letters of credit arrangements are equal to the contractual amount of the commitment. If a commitment is funded, the Company may seek recourse through the liquidation of the underlying collateral, including real estate, production plants and property, marketable securities, or receipt of cash.
As a result of the sale of certain 1-4 family mortgage loans, the Company is contractually obligated to repurchase early payment default loans or loans that do not meet underwriting requirements at recorded value. In accordance with the sales agreements, there is no limitation to the maximum potential future payments or expiration of the Company's recourse obligation. There were no material loan repurchases during the quarters ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, there were certain legal proceedings pending against the Company and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2018.2019. While the outcome of any legal proceeding is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, the Company's management does not expect that any liabilities arising from pending legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

11.13. FAIR VALUE
Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company measures, records, and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Those assets and liabilities are presented below in the sections titled "Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis" and "Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis."
Other assets and liabilities are not required to be measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, but must be disclosed at fair value. See the "Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments" section of this note. Any aggregation of the estimated fair values presented in this note does not represent the value of the Company.
Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Company uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. GAAP provides a three-tiered fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy is defined as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These inputs require significant management judgment or estimation, some of which use model-based techniques and may be internally developed.
Assets and liabilities are assigned to a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities may change levels within the fair value hierarchy due to market conditions or other circumstances. Those transfers are recognized on the date of the event that prompted the transfer. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

The following sections describe the specific valuation techniques and inputs used to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
Equity Securities
The Company's equity securities consist primarily of community development investments and certain diversified investment securities held in a grantor trust for participants in the Company's nonqualified deferred compensation plan that are invested in money market and mutual funds. The fair value of community development investments areis based on quoted prices in active markets or market prices for similar securities obtained from external pricing services or dealer market participants and areis classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the money market and mutual funds is based on quoted market prices in active exchange markets and is classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities Available-for-Sale
The Company's securities available-for-sale are primarily fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but may be traded in active markets. The fair values for these securities are based on quoted prices in active markets or market prices for similar securities obtained from external pricing services or dealer market participants and are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of U.S. treasury securities is based on quoted market prices in active exchange markets and is classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Quarterly, the Company evaluates the methodologies used by its external pricing services to estimate the fair value of these securities to determine whether the valuations represent an exit price in the Company's principal markets.

MSRs
The Company services loans for others totaling $604.2$634.5 million and $627.3 million as of March 31, 20182019 and $607.0 million as of December 31, 2017.2018, respectively. These loans are owned by third-parties and are not included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company determines the fair value of MSRs by estimating the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the mortgage loans being serviced and classifies them in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the ranges of significant, unobservable inputs used by the Company to determine the fair value of MSRs as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.
Significant Unobservable Inputs Used in the Valuation of MSRs
 As of As of
 March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018

 -104
Discount rate 9.5% -12.0% 9.5% -12.0% 9.5% -12.0% 9.5% -12.0%
The impact of changes in these key inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement for MSRs. Significant increases in expected prepayment speeds and discount rates have negative impacts on the valuation. Higher maturity assumptions have a favorable effect on the estimated fair value.
A rollforward of the carrying value of MSRs for the quarters ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 is presented in the following table.

Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities
The Company enters into interest rate swaps and derivative transactions with commercial customers. These derivative transactions are executed in the dealer market, and pricing is based on market quotes obtained from the counterparties. The market quotes were developed using market observable inputs, which primarily include LIBOR. Therefore, derivatives are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For its derivative assets and liabilities, the Company also considers non-performance risk, including the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties, when evaluating whether the market quotes from the counterparty are representative of an exit price.

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans
Certain collateral-dependent impaired loans are subject to fair value adjustments to reflect the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the value of the underlying collateral. The fair values of collateral-dependent impaired loans are primarily determined by current appraised values of the underlying collateral. Based on the age and/or type, appraisals may be adjusted in the range of 0% to 15%. In certain cases, an internal valuation may be used when the underlying collateral is located in areas where comparable sales data is limited or unavailable. Accordingly, collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Collateral-dependent impaired loans for which the fair value is greater than the recorded investment are not measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are not included in this disclosure.
OREO
The fair value of OREO is measured using the current appraised value of the properties. In certain circumstances, a current appraisal may not be available or may not represent an accurate measurement of the property's fair value due to outdated market information or other factors. In these cases, the fair value is determined based on the lower of the (i) most recent appraised value, (ii) broker price opinion, (iii) current listing price, or (iv) signed sales contract. Given these valuation methods, OREO is classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans Held-for-Sale
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, loans held-for-sale consists of 1-4 family mortgage loans, which were originated with the intent to sell. These loans were recorded in the held-for-sale category at the contract price and, accordingly, are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2017, loans held-for-sale consists of 1-4 family mortgage loans, which were originated with the intent to sell, and a corporate loan.
Assets Held-for-Sale
Assets held-for-sale as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 consists of former branches that are no longer in operation and parcels of land previously purchased for expansion. These properties are being actively marketed and were transferred into the held-for-sale category at their fair value as determined by current appraisals. Based on these valuation methods, they are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Management uses various methodologies and assumptions to determine the estimated fair values of the financial instruments in the table above. The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and consider management's judgments regarding future expected economic conditions, loss experience, and specific risk characteristics of the financial instruments. Loans include the FDIC indemnification asset and net loans, which consists of loans held-for-investment, acquired loans, and the allowance for loan losses. As of both March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company estimated the fair value of lending commitments outstanding to be immaterial.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in the Chicago, suburb of Itasca, Illinois, with operations throughout themetropolitan Chicago, metropolitan area, northwest Indiana, central and western Illinois, and eastern Iowa through over 130 banking locations.Iowa. Our principal subsidiary, First Midwest Bank, and other affiliates provide a broadfull range of commercial, retail, treasury management, equipment leasing, consumer, wealth management, trust, and private banking products and services to commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, municipal, and consumer customers. We are committed to meeting the financial needs of the people and businesses in the communities where we live and work by providing customized banking solutions, quality products, and innovative services that fulfill those financial needs.
The following discussion and analysis is intended to address the significant factors affecting our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the quarters ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 and Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. When we use the terms "First Midwest," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our," we mean First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. When we use the term "Bank," we are referring to our wholly-owned banking subsidiary, First Midwest Bank. Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes thereto, and other information presented in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q"), as well as in our 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("20172018 10-K"). The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of future results.
Our results of operations are affected by various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including interest rates, local and national economic conditions, business spending, consumer confidence, legislative and regulatory changes, certain seasonal factors, and changes in real estate and securities markets. Our management evaluates performance using a variety of qualitative and quantitative metrics. The primary quantitative metrics used by management include:
Net Interest Income – Net interest income, our primary source of revenue, equals the difference between interest income and fees earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities.
Net Interest Margin – Net interest margin equals tax-equivalent net interest income divided by total average interest-earning assets.
Noninterest Income – Noninterest income is the income we earn from fee-based revenues, investment in bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI"), other income, and non-operating revenues.
Noninterest Expense – Noninterest expense is the expense we incur to operate the Company, which includes salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment, professional services, and other costs.
Asset Quality – Asset quality represents an estimation of the quality of our loan portfolio, including an assessment of the credit risk related to existing and potential loss exposure, and can be evaluated using a number of quantitative measures, such as non-performing loans to total loans.
Regulatory Capital – Our regulatory capital is classified in one of the following tiers: (i) Common Equity Tier 1 capital ("CET1"), which consists of common equity and retained earnings, less goodwill and other intangible assets and a portion of disallowed deferred tax assets ("DTAs"), (ii) Tier 1 capital, which consists of CET1 and qualifying trust-preferred securities and the remaining portion of disallowed deferred tax assets, and (iii) Tier 2 capital, which includes qualifying subordinated debt, qualifying trust-preferred securities, and the allowance for credit losses, subject to limitations.
Some of these metrics may be presented on a non-U.S.basis not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") basis.. For detail on our non-GAAP metrics, see the discussion in the section of this Item 2 titled "Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliations." Unless otherwise stated, all earnings per common share data included in this section and throughout the remainder of this discussion are presented on a fully diluted basis.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company and the Bank each had total assets of over $14.0 billion. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") and its implementing regulations impose various additional requirements on bank holding companies and banks with $10.0 billion or more in total consolidated assets. As a general matter, these requirements are phased in and become applicable to the Company and the Bank over various dates. For a discussion of the impact that the Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing regulations will have on the Company and the Bank now that they have each exceeded $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets, see the "Supervision and Regulation" section in Item 1, "Business" and Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in the Company's 2017 10-K, as well as our subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

This ratio includes acquired loans that are recorded at fair value through an acquisition adjustment, which incorporates credit risk as of the acquisition date with no allowance for credit losses being established at that time. As the acquisition adjustment is accreted into income over future periods, an allowance for credit losses is established as necessary to reflect credit deterioration.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is our primary source of revenue and is impacted by interest rates and the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The accounting policies for the recognition of interest income on loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets are presented in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20172018 10-K.
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and general practices within the banking industry. For purposes of this discussion, both net interest income and net interest margin have been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis to more appropriately compare the returns on certain tax-exempt loans and securities to those on taxable interest-earning assets. The effect of this adjustment is shown at the bottom of TablesTable 2. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' understanding of our business and performance, they should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. For a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, see the section of this Item 2 titled "Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliations."
Table 2 summarizes our average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the quarters ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, the related interest income and interest expense for each earning asset category and funding source, and the average interest rates earned and paid. Table 2 also details differences in interest income and expense from the prior quarter and the extent to which any changes are attributable to volume and rate fluctuations.

Net card-based fees were up 8.4% compared to the first quarter of 2017, excluding the accounting reclassification and Durbin, due to higher transaction volumes. Compared to the first quarter of 2017, the increase in wealth management fees was driven primarily by the full quarter impact of customers acquired in the Premier Asset Management LLC ("Premier") transaction and organic growth. The decline in merchant servicing fees from the first quarter of 2017 reflected lower customer volumes, substantially offset by the decline in merchant card expense.
Mortgage banking income for the first quarter of 2018 resulted from sales of $63.8 million of 1-4 family mortgage loans in the secondary market, compared to $54.6 million in the first quarter of 2017. In addition, mortgage banking income for the first quarter of 2018 was positively impacted by changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Investment Portfolio Management
Securities that we have the intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as securities held-to-maturity and are accounted for using historical cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Equity securities are carried at fair value and consist primarily of community development investments and certain diversified investment securities held in a grantor trust for participants in the Company's nonqualified deferred compensation plan that are invested in money market and mutual funds. All other securities are classified as securities available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of related deferred income taxes, recorded in stockholders' equity as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
We manage our investment portfolio to maximize the return on invested funds within acceptable risk guidelines, to meet pledging and liquidity requirements, and to adjust balance sheet interest rate sensitivity to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income.

The effective duration represents the estimated percentage change in the fair value of the securities portfolio given a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates. This measure is used to evaluate the portfolio's price volatility at a single point in time and is not intended to be a precise predictor of future fair values since those values will be influenced by a number of factors.
(2) 
Average life is presented in years and represents the weighted-average time to receive half of all expected future cash flows using the dollar amount of principal paydowns, including estimated principal prepayments, as the weighting factor.
(3) 
Yields on municipal securities are reflected on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming the applicable federal income tax rate for each period presented.
Effective Duration
The average life and effective duration of our securities available-for-sale portfolio was 4.754.47 years and 3.71%3.13%, respectively, as of March 31, 2018, up2019, down from 4.514.85 years and 3.38%3.51% as of December 31, 2017.2018. The increasedecrease resulted primarily from purchases of CMOs, MBSs, and MBSs.corporate debt securities with fixed rates and similar maturities.
Realized Gains and Losses
There were no net securities gains or impairment charges recognized during the first quarters of 20182019 and 2017. During the first quarter of 2017, $210.2 million of securities acquired in the Standard transaction were sold shortly after the acquisition date and resulted in no gains or losses as they were recorded at fair value upon acquisition.2018.
Unrealized Gains and Losses
Unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale represent the difference between the aggregate cost and fair value of the portfolio. These amounts are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss, on an after-tax basis.net of deferred income taxes. This balance sheet component will fluctuate as current market interest rates and conditions change and affect the aggregate fair value of the portfolio. HigherLower market interest rates drove the risedecrease in net unrealized losses to $48.8$13.2 million as of March 31, 20182019 from $23.6$39.9 million as of December 31, 2017.2018.
Net unrealized losses in the CMO and MBS portfolio totaled $32.1 million and $11.1$12.6 million as of March 31, 2018, respectively,2019, compared to $17.8 million and $4.1$32.1 million as of December 31, 2017 for the same portfolios.2018. CMOs and MBSs are either backed by U.S. government-owned agencies or issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. We do not believe any individual unrealized loss on these securities as of March 31, 20182019 represents other-than-temporary securities impairment ("OTTI") related to credit deterioration. In addition, we do not intend to sell the CMOs or MBSs with unrealized losses and we do not believe it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

Total loans of $10.7$11.6 billion increased by 9.3%4.3%, annualized, from December 31, 2017.2018. Growth in commercial and industrial loans, primarily within our sector-based lending businesses, multi-family, and construction loans drove the rise in total corporate loans. The rise in construction loans was due to new loan originations and line draws on existing credits. The overall decline in office, retail, and industrial and other commercial real estate loans resulted primarily from the decision of certain customers to opportunistically sell their commercial business and investment real estate properties, as well as refinancing with non-bank lenders and real estate investors. Growth in consumer loans compared to December 31, 2017 benefitedresulted from the impact of purchases of shorter-duration home equity loans and 1-4 family mortgages and organic production.growth.
Commercial, Industrial, and Agricultural Loans
Commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans represent 38.4%40.0% of total loans, and totaled $4.1$4.6 billion at March 31, 2018,2019, an increase of $134.0$70.5 million, or 3.4%1.5%, from December 31, 2017.2018. Our commercial and industrial loans are a diverse group of loans generally located in the Chicago metropolitan area with purposes that include supporting seasonal working capital needs, accounts receivable financing, inventory and equipment financing, and select sector basedsector-based lending, such as healthcare, asset-based lending, structured finance, and syndications. Our commercial and industrial portfolio does not have significant direct exposure to the oil and gas industry. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory. The underlying collateral securing commercial and industrial loans may fluctuate in value due to the success of the business or economic conditions. For loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for repayment and economic conditions may impact the cash flow of the borrower. Accordingly, the underwriting for these loans is based primarily on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower and may incorporate a personal guarantee.
Agricultural loans are generally provided to meet seasonal production, equipment, and farm real estate borrowing needs of individual and corporate crop and livestock producers. Seasonal crop production loans are repaid by the liquidation of the financed crop that is typically covered by crop insurance. Equipment and real estate term loans are repaid through cash flows of the farming

or livestock due to disease or other factors. Therefore, as part of the underwriting process, the Company examines projected future cash flows, financial statement stability, and the value of the underlying collateral.
Commercial Real Estate Loans
Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans. The repayment of commercial real estate loans depends on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. This category of loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate market.markets. In addition, many commercial real estate loans do not fully amortize over the term of the loan, but have balloon payments due at maturity. The borrower's ability to make a balloon payment may depend on the availability of long-term financing or their ability to complete a timely sale of the underlying property. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on cash flow, collateral, geography, and risk rating criteria.
Construction loans are generally made based on estimates of costs and values associated with the completed projects and are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analyses of absorption and lease rates, and financial analyses of the developers and property owners. Sources of repayment may be permanent long-term financing, sales of developed property, or an interim loan commitment until permanent financing is obtained. Generally, construction loans have a higher risk profile than other real estate loans since repayment is impacted by real estate values, interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, demand and supply of alternative real estate, the availability of long-term financing, and changes in general economic conditions.

Consumer Loans
Consumer loans represent 18.8%20.7% of total loans, and totaled $2.0$2.4 billion at March 31, 2018,2019, an increase of $82.5$94.8 million, or 4.3%4.1%, from December 31, 2017.2018. Consumer loans are centrally underwritten using a credit scoring model developed by the Fair Isaac Corporation ("FICO"), which employs a risk-based system to determine the probability that a borrower may default. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are heavily influenced by statutory requirements, which include loan-to-value and affordability ratios, risk-based pricing strategies, and documentation requirements. The home equity category consists mainly of revolving lines of credit secured by junior liens on owner-occupied real estate. Loan-to-value ratios on home equity loans and 1-4 family mortgages are based on the current appraised value of the collateral. Repayment for these loans is dependent on the borrower's continued financial stability, and is more likely to be impacted by adverse personal circumstances.

TDRs
Loan modifications may be performed at the request of an individual borrower and may include reductions in interest rates, changes in payments, and extensions of maturity dates. We occasionally restructure loans at other than market rates or terms to enable the borrower to work through financial difficulties for a period of time, and these restructured loans remain classified as TDRs for the remaining term of these loans.

Corporate Performing Potential Problem Loans
Corporate performing potential problem loans consist of special mention loans and substandard loans, excluding accruing TDRs. These loans are performing in accordance with their contractual terms, but we have concerns about the ability of the borrower to continue to comply with loan terms due to the borrower's operating or financial difficulties.

Loans categorized as special mention exhibit potential weaknesses that require the close attention of management since these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of repayment prospects in the future.
(2) 
Loans categorized as substandard exhibit well-defined weaknesses that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These loans continue to accrue interest because they are well-secured and collection of principal and interest is expected within a reasonable time.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Methodology for the Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments and is maintained by management at a level believed adequate to absorb estimated losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. Determination of the allowance for credit losses is inherently subjective since it requires significant estimates and management judgment, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans, and consideration of current economic trends.trends, and other factors.
Acquired loans are recorded at fair value, which incorporates credit risk, at the date of acquisition. No allowance for credit losses is recorded on the acquisition date for such loans. As the acquisition adjustment is accreted into income over future periods, an allowance for credit losses is established as necessary to reflect credit deterioration. In addition, certain acquired loans that have renewed subsequent to their respective acquisition dates are no longer classified as acquired loans. Instead, they are included with our loan population that is allocated an allowance in accordance with our allowance for loan losses methodology.
While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance for credit losses depends on a variety of factors beyond the Company's control, including the performance of its loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and property values, and the interpretation of loan risk ratings by regulatory authorities. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is an appropriate estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2018.2019.
The accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses is discussed in Note 1 of "Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents



An allowance for credit losses is established on loans originated by the Bank, acquired loans, and covered loans. Additional discussion regarding acquired and covered loans can be found in NoteNotes 1 and 6 of "Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The following table provides additional details related to acquired loans, the allowance for credit losses as related to acquired loans, and the remaining acquisition adjustment associated with acquired loans as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

This ratio includes acquired loans that are recorded at fair value through an acquisition adjustment, which incorporates credit risk as of the acquisition date with no allowance for credit losses being established at that time. As the acquisition adjustment is accreted into income over future periods, an allowance for credit losses is established as necessary to reflect credit deterioration. See the Allowance for Credit Losses and Acquisition Adjustment table above for further discussion of the allowance for acquired loan losses and the related acquisition adjustment.

FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
The following table provides a comparison of average funding sources. We believe that average balances, rather than period-end balances, are more meaningful in analyzing funding sources because of the normal fluctuations that may occur on a daily or monthly basis within funding categories.

MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
Capital Measurements
A strong capital structure is required under applicable banking regulations and is crucial in maintaining investor confidence, accessing capital markets, and enabling us to take advantage of future growth opportunities. Our capital policy requires that the Company and the Bank maintain capital ratios in excess of the minimum regulatory guidelines. It serves as an internal discipline in analyzing business risks and internal growth opportunities and sets targeted levels of return on equity. Under regulatory capital adequacy guidelines, the Company and the Bank are subject to various capital requirements set and administered by the federal banking agencies. On January 1, 2015, theThe Company and the Bank becameare subject to the Basel III Capital rules, a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations published by the Federal Reserve. These rules are discussed in the "Supervision and Regulation" section in Item 1, "Business" in the Company's 20172018 10-K. In addition, financial institutions, such as the Company and the Bank, with average total consolidated assets greater than $10 billion are required by the Dodd-Frank Act to conduct an annual company-run stress test of capital. The Company submitted its first required stress test report for the July 31, 2017 reporting date and the Bank will become subject to these stress test requirements starting with the July 31, 2018 reporting date.
The following table presents our consolidated measures of capital as of the dates presented and the capital guidelines established by the Federal Reserve for the Bank to be categorized as "well-capitalized." We manage our capital levels for both the Company and the Bank to consistently maintain these measurements in excess of the Federal Reserve's minimum levels to be considered "well-capitalized," which is the highest capital category established. All regulatory mandated ratios for characterization as "well-capitalized" were exceeded as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

Overall,The increase in the Company's regulatory capital ratios decreased compared to December 31, 2017, due2018 resulted primarily tofrom strong earnings and the approximately 25 basis point impact, or $47.3 million, of deferred gains, net of tax, which resulted from the adoption of lease accounting guidance at the beginning of the first quarter of 2019. These increases were partially offset by the Northern Oak acquisition and the impact of loan growth and securities purchases on risk-weighted assets and the nearly 10 basis point impact of the phase-in of certain provisions related to regulatory capital ratio calculations, substantially offset by an increase in retained earnings.assets.
The Board of Directors reviews the Company's capital plan each quarter, considering the current and expected operating environment as well as evaluating various capital alternatives.

These non-GAAP financial measures include earnings per share ("EPS"), adjusted, the efficiency ratio, return on average assets, adjusted, tax-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components), tax-equivalent net interest margin, tax-equivalent net interest margin, adjusted, noninterest expense, adjusted, allowance for credit losses to loans, excluding the impact of acquired loan accretion,loans, return on average common equity, adjusted, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss,income ("AOCI"), to tangible assets, tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted,and return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted, and allowance for credit losses to loans, excluding acquired loans.adjusted.
The Company presents EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average assets, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity, all adjusted for certain significant transactions. These transactions include acquisition and integration related expenses (first quarter of 2017).associated with completed and pending acquisitions and Delivering Excellence implementation costs. Management believes excluding these transactions from EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average assets, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity aremay be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance since these transactions do not pertain to its core business operations and their exclusion facilitatesmay facilitate better comparability between periods. Management believes that excluding acquisition and integration related expenses from these metrics ismay be useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since these expenses can vary significantly based on the size, type, and structure of each acquisition. Additionally, management believes excluding these transactions from these metrics enhancesmay enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.
The Company presents noninterest income, excluding the accounting reclassification and Durbin and noninterest expense, excluding the accounting reclassification andadjusted, which excludes acquisition and integration related expenses.expenses and Delivering Excellence implementation costs. Management believes that excluding these items from noninterest income and noninterest expense ismay be useful in assessing the Company’sCompany's underlying operational performance as these items either do not pertain to its core business operations or their exclusion facilitatesmay facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.
The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income and net interest margin recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assetsassets. Interest income and assumes a 35%yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented using the current federal income tax rate.rate of 21%. Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and that it enhancesmay enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes. In addition, management believes that thepresenting tax-equivalent net interest margin, excluding the impact of acquired loan accretion, enhancesadjusted, may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes and ismay be useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since acquired loan accretion income may fluctuate based on the size of each acquisition, as well as from period to period.
In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from stockholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity.
The Company presents the allowance for credit losses to total loans, excluding acquired loans. Management believes excluding acquired loans ismay be useful as it facilitatesmay facilitate better comparability between periods as these loans are recorded at fair value, which incorporates credit risk, at the date of acquisition. No allowance for credit losses is recorded on the acquisition date. As the acquisition adjustment is accreted into income over future periods, an allowance for credit losses is established as necessary to reflect credit deterioration. Additionally, management believes excluding these transactions from these metrics enhancesmay enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes. See Table 16 in the section of this Item 2 titled "Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality" for details on the calculation of this measure.
Although intended to enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other financial institutions to assess their business and performance. See the previously provided tables and the following reconciliations for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates, and equity prices. Interest rate risk is our primary market risk and is the result of repricing, basis, and option risk. A description and analysis of our interest rate risk management policies is included in Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," in our 20172018 10-K.
We seek to achieve consistent growth in net interest income and net income while managing volatility that arises from shifts in interest rates. The Bank's Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO") oversees financial risk management by developing programs to measure and manage interest rate risks within authorized limits set by the Bank's Board of Directors. ALCO also approves the Bank's asset and liability management policies, oversees the formulation and implementation of strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and earnings, and reviews the Bank's interest rate sensitivity position. Management uses net interest income simulation modeling to analyze and capture exposure of earnings to changes in interest rates.
Net Interest Income Sensitivity
The analysis of net interest income sensitivity assesses the magnitude of changes in net interest income over a twelve-month measurement period resulting from immediate changes in interest rates using multiple rate scenarios. These scenarios include, but are not limited to, a flat or unchanged rate environment, immediate increases of 100, 200, and 300 basis points, and an immediate decrease of 100 and 200 basis points. Due to the low interest rate environment as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, management determined that an immediate decrease in interest rates greater than 100 basis points was not meaningful for this analysis.
This simulation analysis is based on expected future cash flows and repricing characteristics for balance sheet and off-balance sheet instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities. In addition, this sensitivity analysis examines assets and liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period and does not assume any changes from growth or business plans over the next twelve months. Interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are assumed to re-price based on contractual terms over the twelve-month measurement period assuming an instantaneous parallel shift in interest rates in effect at the beginning of the measurement period. The simulation analysis also incorporates assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates in relation to interest rates. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, the simulation analysis cannot definitively measure net interest income or predict the impact of the fluctuation in interest rates on net interest income, but does provide an indication of the Company's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.
Our balance sheet is asset sensitive based on repricing and maturity characteristics and simulation analysis assumptions. The Company's current simulation analysis indicates we would benefit from rising interest rates. Interest-earning assets consist of short and long-term products. Excluding non-accrual loans, and including the impact of hedging certain corporate variable rate loans using interest rate swaps through which the Company receives fixed amounts and pays variable amounts, 49% of the loan portfolio consisted of fixed rate loans and 51% were floating rate loans as of March 31, 2018,2019, consistent with December 31, 2017.2018. See Note 11 of "Notes to the CondensedConsolidated Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional detail regarding interest rate swaps.
As of March 31, 2018,2019, investments, consisting of securities and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, are more heavily weighted toward fixed rate securities at 96%97% of the total compared to 4%3% for floating rate interest-bearing deposits in other banks. This compares to investments comprising 93% of fixed rate securities and 7% of floating rate interest-bearing deposits in other banks, as ofconsistent with December 31, 2017.2018. Fixed rate loans are most sensitive to the 3-5 year portion of the yield curve and the BankCompany limits its loans with maturities that extend beyond 5 years. The majority of floating rate loans are indexed to the short-term LIBOR or Prime rates. The amount of floating rate loans with active interest rate floors was $19.5 million, less than 1% of the floating rate loan portfolio,not meaningful as of March 31, 2018, compared to $60.0 million,2019 or 1% of the floating rate loan portfolio, as of December 31, 2017.2018. On the liability side of the balance sheet, 84%79% of deposits as of both March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017 are2018, were demand deposits or interest-bearing core deposits, which either do not pay interest or the interest rates are expected to rise at a slower pace than short-term interest rates.

The sensitivity of estimated net interest income to an instantaneous parallel shift in interest rates is reflected as both dollar and percentage changes. This table illustrates that an instantaneous 200 basis point rise in interest rates as of March 31, 20182019 would increase net interest income by $43.6$56.8 million, or 8.7%10.1%, over the next twelve months compared to no change in interest rates. This same measure was $44.7$57.9 million, or 9.3%10.2%, as of December 31, 2017.2018.
Overall, positive interest rate risk volatility as of March 31, 2018 decreased modestly compared to2019 was consistent with December 31, 2017. This decrease was driven primarily by higher interest rates and continued2018 as growth in floating rate loans and securities was funded with time deposits and fixed rate FHLB advances.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
AtAs of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chairman of the Board President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ourthe Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e)13a-15 and 15d-15 ofunder the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
