FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MB FINANCIAL, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER NET INCOME OF $25.3 MILLION

AND RETURN ON ASSETS OF 1.09%

CHICAGO, July 15, 2013 — MB Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBFI), the holding company for MB Financial Bank, N.A., today announced 2013 second quarter net income of $25.3 million.

“Our earnings were strong during the second quarter, driven by fee income and low credit costs,” stated Mitchell Feiger, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  “Our return on assets increased to 1.09%.   Net income available to common shareholders increased for the sixth consecutive quarter, while year to date net income increased 16.1% compared to the first half of 2012.   In addition, revenues from our key fee initiatives for the first six months of 2013 increased 47% over the first six months of 2012.”

Net income increased in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2013 and second quarter of 2012.  Fully diluted earnings per share were consistent with the first quarter of 2013, and increased from the second quarter of 2012 as follows (note that all linked quarter change percentages presented here and throughout this release are not annualized):

Key items for the quarter include:

Overall Fee Income Growth Continues:

·Core non-interest income to total revenues ratio was 35.0% in the second quarter compared to 34.6% in the prior quarter and 27.5% in the second quarter of 2012.

·Revenues from key fee initiatives decreased 2% compared to the first quarter of 2013, as leasing revenues were exceptionally strong during the first quarter.  Excluding leasing, fee initiatives increased approximately 4% from the prior quarter.

·Revenues from key fee initiatives increased 47% in the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of  2012, primarily as a result of a 119% increase in leasing revenues.  This increase was driven by the addition of Celtic Leasing Corp. (“Celtic”), a recently acquired leasing subsidiary, which contributed $13 million in leasing revenues during the first six months of 2013.   Excluding Celtic, leasing revenues increased 28% in the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012.

Net Interest Margin Stable Compared to Prior Quarter:

·Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.61% for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 3.59% for the prior quarter and 3.83% for the second quarter of 2012.  The decrease from the second quarter of 2012 was due to average yields on interest earning assets declining more than average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

·Net interest income was relatively stable compared to the prior quarter.  Compared to the second quarter of 2012, net interest income declined due to lower average interest earning asset balances (as a result of a decrease in covered loans) as well as a 22 basis point decline in net interest margin.

Small Increase in Non-Performing Loans and Non-Performing Assets During the Quarter; Net Recoveries for the Quarter:

	2Q13		1Q13		Change from 1Q13 to 2Q13		2Q12		Change from 2Q12 to 2Q13

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis decreased $14.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.  The decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2012 was due to lower average earning asset balances (as a result of a decrease in covered loans) as well as a decline in net interest margin.  Our net interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, declined to 3.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 3.85% for the same period in 2012.

Core non-interest income for the second quarter of 2013 increased approximately 2% from the first quarter of 2013.

·Net lease financing revenue decreased during the second quarter primarily due to a decrease related to equipment maintenance contracts.  As noted in prior quarters, remarketing gains and fees from the sale of equipment maintenance contracts can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

·Loan service fees increased due to an increase in letter of credit fees during the second quarter of 2013.

Core non-interest income for the first six months of 2013 rose 32% compared to the first six months of 2012.

·Net lease financing income increased as a result of the increase in remarketing gains and fees from the sale of equipment maintenance contracts, as well as the impact of leasing revenues attributable to Celtic.

·Card fee income increased due to fees earned on prepaid, debit and credit cards.

·Capital markets and international banking service fees increased primarily due to an increase in interest rate swap fees.

Non-core non-interest income for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 was primarily impacted by gains recognized on OREO in 2013, compared to losses recognized on OREO during 2012.

(2)We define potential problem loans as performing loans rated substandard that do not meet the definition of a non-performing loan (See “Asset Quality” section above for non-performing loans).  Potential problem loans carry a higher probability of default and require additional attention by management.  The increase in potential problem loans in the second quarter of 2013 related primarily to one commercial related downgrade.

(3)Accruing restructured loans consists primarily of residential real estate and home equity loans that have been modified and are performing in accordance with those modified terms as of the dates indicated.  The increase in accruing restructured loans in the second quarter of 2013 was primarily a result of non-accrual loans upgraded to accrual status due to continued performance.

Our deposit mix improved over the past twelve months as low cost deposits increased 9% and comprised 78% of total deposits at June 30, 2013 compared to 71% at June 30, 2012, driven by noninterest bearing deposit inflows.

CAPITAL

Tangible book value per common share increased to $15.60 at June 30, 2013 compared to $15.24 a year ago primarily due to retained net income.  Our regulatory capital ratios remain strong and MB Financial Bank, N.A. was categorized as “well capitalized” at June 30, 2013 under the Prompt Corrective Action (“PCA”) provisions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).  These measures include core non-interest income, core non-interest income to revenues (with non-core items excluded from both core non-interest income and revenues), core non-interest expense, non-core non-interest income and non-core non-interest expense, net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, efficiency ratio and the ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets with net gains and losses on investment securities, net losses on sale of other assets, net gains (losses) on other real estate owned, and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest income components of these ratios, prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, impairment charges and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest expense components of these ratios, with tax equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, as applicable; ratios of tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 common capital to risk-weighted assets; tangible book value per common share; and annualized cash return on average tangible common equity.  Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions.  Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons.

Management believes that core and non-core non-interest income and non-interest expense are useful in assessing our core operating performance and in understanding the primary drivers of our non-interest income and non-interest expense when comparing periods.

The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income, net interest margin, tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate.  Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes.  For the same reasons, management believes the tax equivalent adjustments to tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance are useful.

Management also believes that by excluding net gains and losses on investment securities, net losses on sale of other assets, net losses on other real estate owned and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest income components, and excluding prepayment fees on interest bearing liabilities, impairment changes and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest expense components, of the efficiency ratio and the ratio of annualized net non-interest expense to average assets, these ratios better reflect our core operating performance, as the excluded items do not pertain to our core business operations and their exclusion makes these ratios more meaningful when comparing our operating results from period to period.

In addition, management believes that presenting the ratio of Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets is useful for assessing our capital strength and for peer comparison purposes.  The other measures exclude the acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax benefit, in determining tangible assets, tangible equity, tangible common equity and average tangible common equity and exclude other intangible amortization expense, net of tax benefit, in determining net cash flow available to common stockholders.  Management believes the presentation of these other financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial results, as they provide a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well as our capital strength.  Management also believes that providing measures that exclude balances of acquisition-related goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers.  In addition, management believes that these are standard financial measures used in the banking industry to evaluate performance.

The non-GAAP disclosures contained herein should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

A reconciliation of net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest margin is contained in the tables under “Net Interest Margin.”  A reconciliation of tangible book value per common share to book value per common share is contained in the “Selected Financial Ratios” table.  Reconciliations of core and non-core non-interest income and non-interest expense to non-interest income and non-interest expense are contained in the tables under “Results of Operations—Second Quarter Results.”
