Adjusted pre-provision net revenue financial
"Adjusted pre-provision net revenue of $30.5 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, compared to $31.6 million..."
A bank metric that measures the money a lender earns from its core business—interest from loans plus fees and other income—after paying regular operating costs but before setting aside funds for expected loan losses. Think of it as a household’s monthly take-home pay after bills but before putting money into a rainy-day savings account; investors use it to judge a bank’s underlying ability to absorb future loan losses and sustain profitability.
nonperforming assets financial
"Ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.91%, a decrease of 10 basis points from the prior quarter"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
tangible common equity financial
"Tangible common equity to tangible assets (1) | N/A | | 6.62% | | N/A"
Tangible common equity is the portion of a company’s net worth that belongs to ordinary shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill or patents) and any preferred claims; it’s often expressed on a per-share basis. Think of it as the hard, sellable value left for common owners if you removed non-physical assets and paid off debts—investors use it to judge how much real cushion a company has and whether the stock might be under- or over-valued.
credit enhancement income financial
"Additionally, the first quarter of 2026 included credit enhancement income of $3.4 million while the fourth quarter of 2025 included $6.6 million..."
Credit enhancement income is the money earned from tools or agreements that make a loan or bond safer for lenders — for example, guarantees, reserve funds, or letters of credit that backstop payments. Think of it like a fee or interest earned for providing an insurance layer that reduces the chance of loss; for investors, it affects the expected cash flow and risk profile of a security and can change yield, price stability, and credit ratings.
Basel III regulatory
"The Company and Midland States Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under Basel III, and Midland States Bank met the qualifications..."
An international set of banking rules that tells banks how much high-quality capital and readily available cash they must hold and how to manage risk, like a safety checklist for lenders. Investors care because these rules influence how safely banks can absorb losses, how much they can lend, and therefore their profits, dividend capacity and the chance of government support in a crisis — think of it as requirements that trade some short-term profit potential for longer-term financial stability.

Discussion of Outlook; President & Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey G. Ludwig:
“We delivered a solid start to 2026, reflecting the actions taken throughout 2025 to strengthen credit quality and reduce portfolio risk. Credit metrics continued to improve, with non-performing assets
declining and trending toward our 0.75% target, while profitability returned to normalized levels. As a result, we generated earnings of $0.74 per share and a return on average assets of 1.16%.
“Our capital position continued to strengthen, with the common equity tier 1 ratio increasing to 9.98%, approaching our 10% target. We remained disciplined in our capital allocation, repurchasing $7.8 million of common stock during the quarter while continuing to invest in our core businesses. Net interest margin expanded meaningfully, driven primarily by lower funding costs.
“Growth in our Community Bank remains a key priority for 2026, with loan growth supported by strong client relationships, while non-core portfolios continued to run off as planned. Our wealth management business delivered another solid quarter. We are encouraged by the momentum entering 2026, and we see opportunities to further improve efficiency in the Company as the year progresses.”

Key Points for First Quarter and Outlook
Solid Growth Trends in Community Bank & Wealth Management
•Total loans at March 31, 2026 were $4.34 billion, a decrease of $13.4 million from December 31, 2025. Key changes in the loan portfolio were as follows:
◦Community Bank balances increased $68.8 million, or 2.1%. We originated $130 million of new loans during the first quarter of 2026, down from $180 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting typical seasonal softness at the start of the year. First quarter production benefited from ongoing expansion of full-relationship commercial clients.
◦Specialty finance loans decreased $54.7 million to $613.5 million from December 31, 2025.
◦Non-core loans, which include our third party lending and servicing programs and remaining equipment finance portfolio, decreased $27.5 million to $328.1 million from December 31, 2025.
•Total deposits were $5.44 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $15.7 million from December 31, 2025. Key changes in deposits were as follows:
◦Retail deposits increased $81.6 million driven primarily by growth in existing consumer and small business customer relationships and growth in new accounts as a result of targeted initiatives.
◦Deposits among wealth management clients declined $22.8 million, reflecting normal fluctuations in client cash balances. Servicing deposits decreased $20.0 million due to the sales of the residential servicing portfolio and a portion of the commercial servicing portfolio.
◦Higher-cost brokered deposits decreased $17.2 million.
•Wealth Management revenue totaled $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, which was relatively stable compared to the prior quarter. Assets under administration were $4.47 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $4.48 billion at December 31, 2025. Market volatility experienced at the end of the first quarter had a limited effect on our results.
•Net interest margin was 3.91%, up 17 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, driven primarily by a continued decline in funding costs. The cost of deposits decreased 14 basis points to 1.81% in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting the ongoing impact of Federal Reserve rate cuts that began in late 2024. Margin expansion also benefited from a modest 2 basis point increase in loan yields and a favorable shift in the investment securities mix.
The following table presents the Company’s net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2025.

(2)Average loan balances include nonaccrual loans. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs.
Trends in Noninterest Income and Expense
•Noninterest income was $22.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $26.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 included $2.1 million of gains from the sale of the Company’s residential servicing portfolio and a portion of the Company’s commercial servicing portfolio, losses of $1.7 million from the sale of investment securities, and a $1.7 million loss related to our limited partnership investments. Additionally, the first quarter of 2026 included credit enhancement income of $3.4 million while the fourth quarter
of 2025 included $6.6 million of additional credit enhancement income driven by contractual changes in our third-party lending and servicing arrangement.
•Noninterest expense was $50.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $77.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, which included $23.0 million of losses on the sale of loans.
•Income tax expense was $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and income tax expense of $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The resulting effective tax rates were 23.4%, 11.1% and 19.6%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 reflected the loss on the sale of substantially all of our equipment finance portfolio; the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 was not affected by the goodwill impairment, which was not deductible for tax purposes. We currently expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 22% - 23% for the full year, subject to changes in earnings mix, state tax legislation and other factors.
Improving Credit Quality
•Nonperforming loans decreased to $58.8 million, or 1.36% of total loans, at March 31, 2026, compared to $65.5 million, or 1.50% of total loans, at December 31, 2025, while loans 30-89 days past due increased to $20.3 million, or 0.47% of total loans, at March 31, 2026.
•Provision for credit losses on loans was $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2026.
•Net charge-offs were $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, which included a $2.6 million charge-off related to a nonperforming commercial real estate loan that moved to held for sale during the quarter and $2.1 million of fully reimbursed charge-offs related to our third-party lending portfolio.
•Allowance for credit losses on loans was $67.9 million, or 1.56% of total loans, at March 31, 2026, compared to an allowance of $69.2 million, or 1.59% of total loans, at December 31, 2025.

2 Forward Looking Statements Forward-Looking Statements: Statements made in this presentation which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This includes any statements regarding management’s plans, objectives, or goals for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of its revenues, earnings, or other measures of performance. Such forward- looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “should,” “intend,” "target,” “outlook,” “project,” “guidance,” “forecast,” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations and, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements include those identified in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and subsequent Form 10-Qs and other SEC filings, and such factors are incorporated herein by reference.

Presentation: Within the charts and tables presented, certain segments, columns and rows may not sum to totals shown due to rounding. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include “Adjusted pre-provision net revenue,” “Adjusted pre- provision net revenue per diluted share,” “Adjusted pre-provision net revenue to average assets,” “Adjusted earnings,” “Adjusted earnings available to common shareholders,” “Adjusted diluted earnings per common share,” “Efficiency ratio,” “Tangible common equity to tangible assets,” and “Tangible book value per share.” The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s funding profile and profitability. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, the measures in this press release may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies.
