Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses | NOTE 8 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES Old National’s finance receivables consist primarily of loans made to consumers and commercial clients in various industries including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling, and retailing. Most of Old National’s lending activity occurs within our principal geographic markets of Indiana, western Kentucky and Louisville, east central Illinois, and central and western Michigan. Old National has no concentration of commercial loans in any single industry exceeding 10% of its portfolio. The composition of loans by lending classification was as follows: (dollars in thousands) September 30, December 31, Commercial (1) $ 1,740,394 $ 1,629,600 Commercial real estate: Construction 164,247 134,552 Other 1,681,642 1,576,558 Residential real estate 1,640,289 1,519,156 Consumer credit: Heloc 362,055 360,320 Auto 1,004,989 846,969 Other 140,243 103,338 Covered loans 114,039 147,708 Total loans 6,847,898 6,318,201 Allowance for loan losses (49,515 ) (44,297 ) Allowance for loan losses - covered loans (1,711 ) (3,552 ) Net loans $ 6,796,672 $ 6,270,352 (1) Includes direct finance leases of $15.5 million at September 30, 2015 and $19.3 million at December 31, 2014. The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows: Commercial Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial real estate These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing Old National’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, Old National avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. Included with commercial real estate are construction loans, which are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from Old National until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing. Residential With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, Old National typically establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property values. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers. Consumer Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property values. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers. Covered loans Covered loans represent loans acquired from the FDIC that are subject to loss share agreements whereby Old National is indemnified against 80% of losses up to $275.0 million, losses in excess of $275.0 million up to $467.2 million at 0% reimbursement, and 80% of losses in excess of $467.2 million. As of September 30, 2015, we do not expect losses to exceed $275.0 million. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further details on our covered loans. Allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses incurred in the consolidated loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, pools of homogeneous loans, assessments of the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio, and historical loss experience. The allowance is increased through a provision charged to operating expense. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added to the allowance. Effective January 1, 2015, we began using a probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) model as a tool to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for performing commercial and commercial real estate loans. The PD is forecast using a transition matrix to determine the likelihood of a customer’s asset quality rating (“AQR”) migrating from its current AQR to any other status within the time horizon. Transition rates are measured using Old National’s own historical experience. The model assumes that recent historical transition rates will continue into the future. The LGD is defined as credit loss incurred when an obligor of the bank defaults. The sum of all net charge-offs for a particular portfolio segment are divided by all loans that have defaulted over a given period of time. The expected loss derived from the model considers the PD, LGD, and exposure at default. Additionally, qualitative factors, such as changes in lending policies or procedures, and economic business conditions are also considered. We adopted the probability of default and loss given default model for commercial loans because we believe this approach has a tendency to react more quickly to credit cycle shifts (both positive and negative). Switching from migration analysis to the probability of default and loss given default model for our performing commercial and commercial real estate loans did not have a material effect on our allowance for loan losses at the date of adoption. Prior to January 1, 2015, we used migration analysis as a tool to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for performing commercial and commercial real estate loans. Migration analysis is a statistical technique that attempts to estimate probable losses for existing pools of loans by matching actual losses incurred on loans back to their origination. Judgment is used to select and weight the historical periods which are most representative of the current environment. We calculated migration analysis using several different scenarios based on varying assumptions to evaluate the widest range of possible outcomes. The migration-derived historical commercial loan loss rates were applied to the current commercial loan pools to arrive at an estimate of probable losses for the loans existing at the time of analysis. The amounts determined by migration analysis were adjusted for management’s best estimate of the effects of current economic conditions, loan quality trends, results from internal and external review examinations, loan volume trends, credit concentrations, and various other factors. We continue to use historic loss ratios adjusted for economic conditions to determine the appropriate level of allowance for residential real estate and consumer loans. No allowance was brought forward on any of the acquired loans as any credit deterioration evident in the loans was included in the determination of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date. Purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans are not considered impaired until after the point at which there has been a degradation of cash flows below our expected cash flows at acquisition. Impairment on PCI loans would be recognized in the current period as provision expense.

Internally, management assigns a credit quality grade to each non-homogeneous commercial and commercial real estate loan in the portfolio. The primary determinants of the credit quality grade are based upon the reliability of the primary source of repayment and the past, present, and projected financial condition of the borrower. The credit quality rating also reflects current economic and industry conditions. Major factors used in determining the grade can vary based on the nature of the loan, but commonly include factors such as debt service coverage, internal cash flow, liquidity, leverage, operating performance, debt burden, FICO scores, occupancy, interest rate sensitivity, and expense burden. Old National uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Criticized Classified – Substandard Classified – Nonaccrual Classified – Doubtful Pass rated loans are those loans that are other than criticized, classified – substandard, classified - nonaccrual or classified – doubtful. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the risk category of commercial and commercial real estate loans, excluding covered loans, by class of loans is as follows: (dollars in thousands) Commercial Commercial Corporate Credit Exposure Credit Risk Profile by Commercial Real Estate - Construction Real Estate - Other September 30, December 31, September 30, December 31, September 30, December 31, Grade: Pass $ 1,584,973 $ 1,442,904 $ 155,134 $ 119,958 $ 1,491,759 $ 1,374,191 Criticized 51,645 89,775 3,738 2,229 84,082 102,805 Classified - substandard 46,273 58,461 2,817 5,866 55,050 38,659 Classified - nonaccrual 54,931 38,003 2,558 6,499 49,721 59,771 Classified - doubtful 2,572 457 — — 1,030 1,132 Total $ 1,740,394 $ 1,629,600 $ 164,247 $ 134,552 $ 1,681,642 $ 1,576,558 Old National considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential and consumer loan classes, Old National also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. The following table presents the recorded investment in residential and consumer loans based on payment activity as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, excluding covered loans: (dollars in thousands) Residential Consumer Heloc Auto Other September 30, 2015 Performing $ 1,624,740 $ 359,315 $ 1,003,594 $ 138,757 Nonperforming 15,549 2,740 1,395 1,486 Total $ 1,640,289 $ 362,055 $ 1,004,989 $ 140,243 December 31, 2014 Performing $ 1,505,188 $ 357,205 $ 845,708 $ 101,811 Nonperforming 13,968 3,115 1,261 1,527 Total $ 1,519,156 $ 360,320 $ 846,969 $ 103,338 Impaired Loans Large commercial credits are subject to individual evaluation for impairment. Retail credits and other small balance credits that are part of a homogeneous group are not tested for individual impairment unless they are modified as a troubled debt restructuring. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that contractual interest and principal payments will not be collected either for the amounts or by the dates as scheduled in the loan agreement. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Old National’s policy, for all but purchased credit impaired loans, is to recognize interest income on impaired loans unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. The following table shows Old National’s impaired loans, excluding covered loans, which are individually evaluated as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Of the loans purchased without FDIC loss share coverage, only those that have experienced subsequent impairment since the date acquired are included in the table below.

For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectibility of principal or interest. Interest accrued during the current year on such loans is reversed against earnings. Interest accrued in the prior year, if any, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for six months and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 accrue interest, even though they may be contractually past due, as any nonpayment of contractual principal or interest is considered in the periodic re-estimation of expected cash flows and is included in the resulting recognition of current period covered loan loss provision or prospective yield adjustments. Similar to noncovered loans, covered loans accounted for outside FASB ASC Topic 310-30 are classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, collection of principal or interest is doubtful. Information for covered loans accounted for both under and outside FASB ASC Topic 310-30 is included in the table below in the row labeled covered loans. Old National’s past due financing receivables as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows: (dollars in thousands) 30-59 Days 60-89 Days Recorded Nonaccrual Total Current September 30, 2015 Commercial $ 815 $ 373 $ 114 $ 57,503 $ 58,805 $ 1,681,589 Commercial Real Estate: Construction 531 92 — 2,558 3,181 161,066 Other 1,546 3,953 54 50,751 56,304 1,625,338 Residential 10,578 1,846 172 15,549 28,145 1,612,144 Consumer: Heloc 735 430 19 2,740 3,924 358,131 Auto 3,254 694 197 1,395 5,540 999,449 Other 913 167 13 1,486 2,579 137,664 Covered loans 855 472 — 8,682 10,009 104,030 Total loans $ 19,227 $ 8,027 $ 569 $ 140,664 $ 168,487 $ 6,679,411 December 31, 2014 Commercial $ 649 $ 813 $ 33 $ 38,460 $ 39,955 $ 1,589,645 Commercial Real Estate: Construction — — — 6,499 6,499 128,053 Other 3,834 1,468 138 60,903 66,343 1,510,215 Residential 11,606 3,959 1 13,968 29,534 1,489,622 Consumer: Heloc 577 376 — 3,115 4,068 356,252 Auto 3,349 695 203 1,261 5,508 841,461 Other 969 129 83 1,527 2,708 100,630 Covered loans 1,477 584 — 15,124 17,185 130,523 Total loans $ 22,461 $ 8,024 $ 458 $ 140,857 $ 171,800 $ 6,146,401 Loan Participations Old National has loan participations, which qualify as participating interests, with other financial institutions. At September 30, 2015, these loans totaled $317.8 million, of which $171.4 million had been sold to other financial institutions and $146.4 million was retained by Old National. The loan participations convey proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest holder, involve no recourse (other than ordinary representations and warranties) to, or subordination by, any participating interest holder, all cash flows are divided among the participating interest holders in proportion to each holder’s share of ownership and no holder has the right to pledge the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree. Troubled Debt Restructurings Old National may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. The decision to restructure a loan, versus aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan, may benefit Old National by increasing the ultimate probability of collection. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by Old National to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred, which is when for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status. The modification of the terms of such loans include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate of new debt with similar risk, or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment of the loan. Loans modified in a TDR are typically placed on nonaccrual status until we determine the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms for six months. If we are unable to resolve a nonperforming loan issue, the credit will be charged off when it is apparent there will be a loss. For large commercial type loans, each relationship is individually analyzed for evidence of apparent loss based on quantitative benchmarks or subjectively based upon certain events or particular circumstances. It is Old National’s policy to charge off small commercial loans scored through our small business credit center with contractual balances under $250,000 that have been placed on nonaccrual status or became 90 days or more delinquent, without regard to the collateral position. For residential and consumer loans, a charge off is recorded at the time foreclosure is initiated or when the loan becomes 120 to 180 days past due, whichever is earlier. For commercial TDRs, an allocated reserve is established within the allowance for loan losses for the difference between the carrying value of the loan and its computed value. To determine the value of the loan, one of the following methods is selected: (1) the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, (2) the loan’s observable market price, or (3) the fair value of the collateral value, if the loan is collateral dependent. The allocated reserve is established as the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the collectable value. If there are significant changes in the amount or timing of the loan’s expected future cash flows, impairment is recalculated and the valuation allowance is adjusted accordingly. When a residential or consumer loan is identified as a troubled debt restructuring, the loan is written down to its collateral value less selling costs. The following table presents activity in TDRs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014: (dollars in thousands) Commercial Commercial Residential Consumer Total Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Balance at January 1, 2015 $ 15,205 $ 15,226 $ 2,063 $ 2,459 $ 34,953 (Charge-offs)/recoveries 89 825 (40 ) (6 ) 868 Payments (13,064 ) (4,709 ) (614 ) (1,035 ) (19,422 ) Additions 29,956 3,774 792 1,797 36,319 Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 32,186 $ 15,116 $ 2,201 $ 3,215 $ 52,718 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Balance at January 1, 2014 $ 22,443 $ 22,639 $ 2,344 $ 1,441 $ 48,867 (Charge-offs)/recoveries (172 ) (266 ) 3 (83 ) (518 ) Payments (12,998 ) (5,200 ) (370 ) (390 ) (18,958 ) Additions 11,695 2,704 175 1,034 15,608 Balance at September 30, 2014 $ 20,968 $ 19,877 $ 2,152 $ 2,002 $ 44,999 Approximately $38.6 million of the TDRs at September 30, 2015 were included with nonaccrual loans, compared to $22.1 million at December 31, 2014. Old National has allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs totaling $3.8 million at September 30, 2015 and $2.8 million at December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, Old National had committed to lend an additional $2.5 million to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs. The pre-modification and post-modification outstanding recorded investments of loans modified as TDRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are the same since the loan modifications did not involve the forgiveness of principal. Old National did not record any charge-offs at the modification date. The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015: (dollars in thousands) Number Pre-modification Post-modification Troubled Debt Restructuring: Commercial 25 $ 29,956 $ 29,956 Commercial Real Estate - Construction 5 1,162 1,162 Commercial Real Estate - Other 21 2,612 2,612 Residential 8 792 792 Consumer 26 1,797 1,797 Total 85 $ 36,319 $ 36,319 The TDRs described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $0.6 million and resulted in immaterial charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2014: (dollars in thousands) Number Pre-modification Post-modification Troubled Debt Restructuring: Commercial 27 $ 11,695 $ 11,695 Commercial Real Estate - Construction 1 484 484 Commercial Real Estate - Other 22 2,221 2,221 Residential 2 175 175 Consumer 21 1,033 1,033 Total 73 $ 15,608 $ 15,608 The TDRs described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $0.4 million and resulted in immaterial charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were three commercial loans and six commercial real estate loans totaling $2.1 million that were modified as TDRs within the preceding twelve months, and for which there was a payment default during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. There was one commercial real estate loan that was modified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 for which there was a payment default within the last twelve months. The impact of the default was immaterial. The terms of certain other loans were modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. It is our process to review all classified and criticized loans that, during the period, have been renewed, have entered into a forbearance agreement, have gone from principal and interest to interest only, or have extended the maturity date. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The evaluation is performed under our internal underwriting policy. We also evaluate whether a concession has been granted or if we were adequately compensated through a market interest rate, additional collateral or a bona fide guarantee. We also consider whether the modification was insignificant relative to the other terms of the agreement or if the delay in a payment was 90 days or less. PCI loans are not considered impaired until after the point at which there has been a degradation of cash flows below our expected cash flows at acquisition. If a PCI loan is subsequently modified, and meets the definition of a TDR, it will be removed from PCI accounting and accounted for as a TDR only if the PCI loan was being accounted for individually. If the purchased credit impaired loan is being accounted for as part of a pool, it will not be removed from the pool. As of September 30, 2015, it has not been necessary to remove any loans from PCI accounting. In general, once a modified loan is considered a TDR, the loan will always be considered a TDR, and therefore impaired, until it is paid in full, otherwise settled, sold or charged off. However, recent guidance also permits for loans to be removed from TDR status under these circumstances: (1) at the time of the subsequent restructuring, the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulties, and this is documented by a current credit evaluation at the time of the restructuring, (2) under the terms |
