Citizens Republic Bancorp Reports Fifth Consecutive Quarterly Profit and Restores Deferred Tax Asset

• Net income attributable to common shareholders was $297 million or $7.35 per share for the second quarter, which includes a $277 million tax benefit, or $6.85 per share related to eliminating the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset

• Excluding the tax benefit, net income attributable to common shareholders was $20 million or $0.50 per share for the second quarter

• Earnings were positively impacted by a 37% reduction in provision expense compared to the first quarter as credit trends showed continued stability and improvement

• Pre-tax, pre-provision profit remained strong at $32 million

• Net interest margin increased four basis points to 3.60%

FLINT, MICHIGAN, July 26, 2012—Citizens Republic Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRBC) announced net income attributable to common shareholders of $297.1 million or $7.35 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $18.9 million or $0.47 per diluted share for last quarter,and $18.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted share for the second quarter of last year. For the first six months of this year, Citizens recorded net income attributable to common shareholders of $316.0 million or $7.84 per share compared to a net loss of $55.8 million or $1.42 per share for the same period of 2011. Second quarter 2012 results include a $276.8 million or $6.85 per share tax benefit related to the elimination of the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset.

“Restoring our deferred tax asset was a significant event for us this quarter. Just as important, our bankers continue to drive consistent earnings from our banking operations and we continue to organically grow our strong capital position by successfully executing on our strategic initiatives,” commented Cathleen Nash, president and chief executive officer.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet continues to reflect Citizens’ focus on C&I and consumer lending. Combined, C&I and consumer loan balances grew 10% compared to June 30, 2011. Growth within these portfolios helped to mitigate the reduction in commercial real estate and residential mortgage balances.

The changes in deposit balances were a result of growing low cost core deposits and strategically reducing more expensive single service and brokered time deposits. These initiatives have resulted in core deposit growth of 9% and a 24% reduction in time deposits compared to June 30, 2011.

Capital

Citizens continues to grow capital organically through earnings and maintains a strong capital position.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest margin was 3.60% in the second quarter, a four basis point increase from both last quarter and the second quarter of last year. Year to date, net interest margin also increased four basis points over last year to 3.58%. These improvements in margin were a result of efforts to reduce funding costs by improving deposit mix, carefully managing deposit costs, reducing reliance on brokered time deposits, and reducing costs on long term debt by extending maturities. The benefits from these initiatives were partially offset by lower yields in the investment securities and loan portfolios due to the continued low interest rate environment and competitive pressures.

Net interest income was $75.7 million for the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of $0.4 million from last quarter and a decrease of $1.9 million from the second quarter of last year. The decreases reflect a reduction in average earning assets, partially offset by the slightly higher net interest margins.

Credit Quality

Credit quality benefits from proactive credit management as well as returning economic stability.

• Total delinquencies decreased 18% from last quarter to $32.7 million and currently represent 0.59% of portfolio loans.

• Nonperforming assets were $94.0 million at the end of June, a 4% increase over the end of March and a decrease of 33% from June 30 of last year. The increase over last quarter was directly related to a single commercial relationship.

• Net charge-offs for the second quarter decreased to $22.2 million, compared to $28.1 million last quarter and $35.4 million in the second quarter of last year. The provision for loan losses decreased 37% from the first quarter to $5.3 million in the second quarter.

• The allowance for loan losses was $136.1 million or 2.47% of portfolio loans at June 30, 2012, compared to $153.0 million or 2.77% at the end of the prior quarter, and $206.3 million or 3.67% at the end of the second quarter last year.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income continues to be impacted by regulatory changes in the industry. Citizens’ focus on services and products helps support a stable base of fee income.

• Service charges on deposit accounts were down 4% compared to the second quarter of last year primarily the result of regulatory changes. Service charges were up 4% seasonally compared to the first quarter of 2012.

• Net gains on loans held for sale were minimal compared to prior periods.

• There were no realized gains or losses recorded in the investment portfolio in 2012.

• Other income decreased compared to last quarter primarily due to lower unrealized gains on deferred compensation, which was offset in noninterest expense.

Noninterest expense continues to benefit from our improved credit environment and a continued focus on expense management.

• Losses on ORE and credit costs were significantly lower due to the completion of problem asset resolution initiatives in early 2011.

• FDIC insurance costs declined in 2012.

• Improvements in noninterest expense were offset by higher salaries and incentives as well as an increase in benefit costs related to the reinstatement of employer matching in the 401(k) plan.

• Compared to last quarter, noninterest expense declined slightly as lower payroll tax, occupancy, equipment and data processing expenses more than offset higher professional services expense and advertising costs.

2

The income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2012 was $276.8 million, compared with a benefit of $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2011. The income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2012 was related to eliminating the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset as a result of our continued improvement in financial performance. The deferred tax asset balance is reported in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this release includes non-GAAP financial measures such as tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, Tier 1 common equity ratio, pre-tax pre-provision profit, net interest margin, the efficiency ratio, and adjusted earnings per share. Citizens believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in understanding the underlying performance of Citizens, its business and performance trends, and such measures help facilitate performance comparisons with others in the banking industry. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their use of such measures. To mitigate these limitations, Citizens has procedures in place to ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety to ensure that Citizens’ performance is properly reflected to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. Although Citizens believes the above non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release enhance investors’ understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures. See our related Form 8-K for further discussion regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.
