ANNUAL REPORT

      CULTURE
In a highly commoditized industry, such as ours, culture serves as a strategic 
asset.  This past year, we compiled a series of thoughts and values shared 
over the years about our culture into a book.  We hope you enjoy reading 
excerpts from the book in this year’s annual report.

2014 YEAR in REVIEW

David J. Maness, Chairman and Jae A. Evans, Chief Executive Officer

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
To  create  an  operating  environment  that  will  provide  shareholders  with 
sustained growth in their investment while maintaining our independence.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS, AND NEIGHBORS,

Once again, we celebrated record earnings, strong dividend growth, and several product 
launches in 2014.  The Detroit Free Press named us to their list of Top 100 Workplaces 
and the Michigan Bankers Association recognized us for our continued commitment to 
financial literacy.  We are pleased to share with you highlights from this past year as well 
as a preview of 2015.     

DRIVING SHAREHOLDER VALUE

Maximizing  shareholder  value  through  dividend  and 
stock price appreciation is vital to our future success 
and  independence.    Our  strategic  plan  focuses  on 
building  shareholder  value  by  increasing  profitability 
and expanding the visibility of our stock.   

Profitability  allows  us  to  pay  our  shareholders 
dividends  and  retain  earnings  for  future  growth 
opportunities. In 2014, we celebrated record earnings 
of  $13.72  million,  a  $1.21  million  or  9.70%  increase 
over 2013.  In addition, we increased our cash dividend 

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
The  equal  employment  opportunity  clauses  in  Section  202  of  the  Executive  Order  11246,  as  amended;  38  USC  4212,  Vietnam  Era  Veterans 
Readjustment Act of 1974; Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; relative to equal employment opportunity and implementing 
rules and regulations of the Secretary of Labor are adhered to and supported by Isabella Bank Corporation and its subsidiaries.

for  the  33rd  consecutive  year  to  $0.89  per  share,  a 
5.95%  increase  over  the  prior  year.    Based  upon  our 
average stock price of $22.51 for December 2014, our 
shareholders  received  an  annualized  cash  dividend 
yield of 3.95%.

“Based upon our 
average stock 
price of $22.51 
for December 
2014, our 
shareholders 
Received an 
annualized 
cash dividend 
yield of 3.95%.”

In  August  2014,  we  moved  our  stock 
to  the  OTCQX  Banks  tier  of  the  OTC 
Markets  Group’s  electronic  quotation 
system.  This  tier 
is  exclusively 
designed  for  established  community 
and  regional  banks,  which  allows 
us  to  differentiate  ourselves  from 
start-up  companies  and  improve  our 
stock’s visibility on a national level.  To 
be  eligible  for  this  market,  financial 
institutions  are  required  to  meet 
high  financial  standards,  stay  current 
with  all  disclosures  required  by  the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and our banking 
regulators,  remain  compliant  with  security  laws,  and 
be sponsored by a corporate broker.

When  we  transitioned  to  the  OTCQX  Banks  tier,  our 
Board selected a regionally recognized firm, Boenning 
& Scattergood, Inc., to serve as our corporate broker.  
A  corporate  broker  performs  many  duties,  one  of 
which  is  to  increase  a  stock’s  visibility  in  the  market.  
Boenning  &  Scattergood’s  knowledge  of  community 
bank  securities,  coupled  with  their  reputation,  made 
them the ideal choice.  

In  addition  to  these  efforts,  our  investor  website, 
shareholder  and  community  events,  and  press 
releases are part of a communication strategy to bring 
awareness to our stock.   Our website provides stock 
information,  dividend  history,  financial 
data,  and  biographies  of  our  directors 
for  those  seeking  to  learn  more  about 
our company.  It also allows individuals 
to  enroll  for  daily  stock  price  alerts 
and  stay  current  with  our  latest  news.  
Events  complement  these 
initiatives 
by  providing  us  an  opportunity  to 
personally  connect  with  current  and 
potential shareholders.  

DELIVERING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

From  our  traditional  branch  network 
and bank products to our electronic and 
financial planning services, we have a complete array 
of  solutions  to  serve  our  customers.    This  past  year, 
we  remodeled  three  offices  and  started  on  a  fourth, 
introduced four new electronic services, and expanded 
our investment and trust department to accommodate 
the growing financial needs of our customers.  

We  have  included  pictures  below  of  the  building 
projects we completed in 2014.  Last fall, we finished 
our expansion project in Midland which gave us room 
to  add  a  business  development  lender  and  financial 
advisor.  The Midland market continues to be an area

CONVENIENCE ACROSS BANKING 
CHANNELS

Even  as  bankers,  we  cannot  always  find  time 
during the day to make a deposit or apply for a 
loan.  For some customers, banking is an errand, 
an obstacle that stands between them and their 
free  time.    In  2014,  we  introduced  four  new 
electronic  services  designed  to  make  banking 
more convenient for our customers:

Online consumer loan application - 
convenient access to apply online for a 
vehicle, boat, or RV loan.

iPad application - tailored view of online 
banking information designed for the 
tablet experience. 

Person-to-Person (P2P) payments - 
send money electronically to another 
individual using their email address.   

Mobile Deposit - take a picture of a 
check with a smartphone to make an 
electronic deposit. 

of growth for us and the additional staff will position 
us  well  for  the  future.    We  also  completed  interior 
renovations  of  both  our  Shepherd  and  Ithaca  offices 
and started an expansion project of our South Mission 
office in Mt. Pleasant.  We take great pride in our offices 
and encourage you to stop in to see the improvements.

While we enjoy when our customers visit our offices, 
we also understand it is not always the most convenient 
way  to  bank  for  everyone.    In  2014,  we  introduced 
online consumer loan applications, an iPad® application 
for  our  online  banking  customers,  Person-to-Person 
payments,  and  Mobile  Deposit.    These  services  give 
individuals who want to apply for a loan, pay someone 
electronically,  view  account  information,  and  deposit 
a  check  an  alternative  to  traditional  branch  banking.  
We have included a short article about these services 
to the right.  

Outside  of  our  bank  products,  our  customers  also 
have convenient access to financial advisors and trust 
officers.  Our investment and trust services complement 
our  traditional  bank  products  and  provide  us  with 
additional  sources  of  revenue.    In  2014,  the  assets 
managed by our investment and trust group grew by 
9.24%  which  accounted  for  a  28.31%  increase  in  net 
revenues when compared to 2013.  To accommodate 
this growth, as well as future growth, we expanded our 
sales and support team in 2014. 

LOOKING AHEAD

From new technology enhancements to the expansion 
of  our  loan  products,  we  look  forward  to  adding 
convenience  to  both  our  customer  and  shareholder 
experiences in 2015.  We wanted to share just a few of 
the initiatives currently underway.

A  new  option  with  our  personal  checking  accounts 
called  Bank-to-Bank  (B2B)  transfers  will  complement 
both  our  Mobile  Deposit  and  Person-to-Person 
payment  solutions.    Bank-to-Bank  transfers  allow 

Exceeding expectations.  

We strive to have devoted customers who speak 
passionately about our Bank and recommend us 
to their friends, neighbors, and co-workers.  In 
order to “WOW” the customer, we must exceed 
their expectations.

during the past few years.  While we cannot control 
the  security  practices  of  other  businesses,  we  can 
take  precautionary  measures  to  help  minimize  our 
risk.  In 2015, we will prepare to deploy debit cards 
with  the  new  EMV  (Europay,  MasterCard®,  and 
Visa®) technology.  Each card will contain a microchip, 
which when used at a merchant with a chip-enabled 
register,  will  add  another  layer  of  security  to  debit 

customers  to  send  money  electronically  to  and  from 
their accounts at another financial institution.  

We are also expanding our consumer and mortgage 
product offerings in 2015 through two new strategic 
initiatives.  While we currently offer indirect financing 
of automobiles and recreational vehicles through our 
local dealerships, we will be enhancing our program 
to  become  more  efficient 
and  generate  more  leads.   
The  second  initiative  will 
allow  us  to  offer  new 
mortgage 
in 
our  markets 
including 
Federal  Housing 
both 
Administration  (FHA)  and 
Veterans 
Administration 
(VA)  loans.    Adding  these 
new products and services 
will 
improve  our  ability 
to  compete  with  other 
financial institutions in the 
communities we serve.

SUR VEY  PLACES  CORPORATION 
IN TOP 100 WORKPLACES

For  the  past  two  years,  we  have  asked  our 
employees  to  participate  in  a  survey  from 
the Detroit Free Press.  The survey includes 
questions  about  compensation,  benefits, 
advancement opportunities, and our culture.  
The results are then compiled into the annual 
Detroit Free Press Top 100 Workplaces list.  

Within our strategic plan, one of our goals 
is  to  be  the  employer  of  choice  in  our 
markets.    The  Detroit  Free  Press  survey  is 
just one way that we can gauge employee 
satisfaction.    We  are  pleased  to  share  we 
made the list for the second year in a row.  
In 2014, we ranked eighth in the category 
of midsize companies.  

Over  the  last  few  years, 
several of our shareholders 
have  requested  electronic 
shareholder  statements.  
We  are  pleased  to  report

2014 Financial Repor t

Dennis P. Angner, President & Chief Financial Officer

I am pleased to share that continued dedication to our culture, which consists of commitment 
to our core community banking principles and focus on long term sustainable growth, has once 
again led to record net income in 2014.

During  the  year,  we  earned  a  record  $13.72  million 
resulting in earnings per common share of $1.77.  Our 
continued  strong  earnings  have  primarily  been  the 
result  of  improvements  in  credit  quality  indicators 
including  reductions  in  net  loan  charge-offs  and 
historically low levels of nonperforming and past due 
loans.  These improvements led to a reduction in the 
level  of  the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses  in 
both amount and as a percentage of gross loans. This 
resulted in a reversal in the provision for loan losses of 
$668,000 for the year.

During  the  year,  total  assets  grew  by  3.78%  to  $1.55 
billion,  and  assets  under  management  increased  to 
$2.22  billion  which  includes  loans  sold  and  serviced 
and  assets  managed  by  our  Investment  and  Trust 
Services Department of $672.52 million.  We enjoyed 
total loan growth of $25.55 million which was driven 
by commercial and agricultural loan growth of $51.99 
million.    This  was  partially  offset  by  declines  in  both 
residential  real  estate  and  consumer  loans  of  $26.44 
million  as  demand  for  residential  real  estate  loans 
remained  soft  and  the  market  for  consumer  loans 
continued  to  be  dominated  by  direct  financing  from 
automobile manufacturers.

While our net yield on interest earning assets of 3.45% 
remains  historically  low,  it  has  stabilized.    The  low 
net  yield  on  interest  earning  assets  is  a  direct  result 
of  accommodative  Federal  Reserve  Bank  monetary 
policy.  While we expect the Federal Reserve Bank to 
increase short term interest rates in 2015, we do not 
anticipate  any  significant  improvements  in  our  net 
yield  on  interest  earning  assets  as  the  rates  paid  on 
interest bearing liabilities will likely increase faster than 
those of interest earning assets.  Net interest income 
will increase only through continued growth in loans, 
investments, and other income earning assets.

Looking  forward  to  2015,  I  am  confident  that  we 
will  be  able  to  increase  net  interest  income  through 
continued growth in our balance sheet.  Additionally, 
we have several strategic initiatives in place to increase 
noninterest  income  and  limit  or  reduce  noninterest 
expenses.    In  closing,  I  encourage  you  to  review  the 
following  pages  which  outline  our  key  performance 
measures and ratios.

Dennis P. Angner, CFO

Investing in Our Future
