ANNUAL 
REPORT

2022

In last year’s Annual Report I reported that our efforts 
to  focus  on  improving  operating  performance 
resulted in record revenue and profits in 2021, but 
more  importantly  that  those  improvements  would 
continue  to  drive  shareholder  value  for  years  to 
come.  That has proven true for 2022, in which we 
again recorded record revenue and profits.  Looking 
into  2023  and  beyond,  with  interest  rates  likely  to 
remain somewhat higher than in the recent past and 
posing challenges to retaining lower-cost deposits, 
operating efficiencies will be even more important 
to  maintaining  our  strong  profitability.    I  remain 
confident that the improvements we have made in 
our  customer  experience,  streamlined  operations 
and better use of data and analytics will continue to 
serve us well in this higher rate environment.

The Company’s 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders is available on the Company’s website, and

Company, at 217-342-7321 or dalbin@midlandsb.com for access/delivery information.

Letter to 
Shareholders 

Dear Shareholders:

I  am  very  pleased  to  report  that  2022  was  another  terrific  year 
for the Company. As with 2021, we saw record net revenue and 
record earnings per share for the year. 

The primary drivers of this performance were:

•  Our  model  of  customer-centric  service  and  relationship 
banking  allowed  us  to  grow  loans  and  deposits,  with  loans 
growing by $1.08 billion, or 20.7%, and total deposits growing 
to $6.4 billion, an increase of 4.2% year-over-year; 

•  A continued focus on reducing costs and increasing operating 

efficiencies; and 

•  Increased use of technology across our business sectors. 

The investments we made in prior years to improving customer 
experience while more effectively controlling expenses continue 
to pay off. I cannot emphasize enough the contribution our team 
has made in implementing these changes while maintaining our 
strong  culture  that  focuses  on  technology,  training,  personal 
development  and  pride  in  serving  our  customers  better  than 
ever before. 

We  also  took  steps  to  position  our  balance  sheet  for  further 
growth,  principally  through  our  issuance  of  $115  million  of 
preferred stock but also by beginning to transition some of our 
consumer  debt  assets  into  U.S.  treasury  and  agency  securities. 
We also redeemed $40.0 million of our subordinated debt and 
injected  $50  million  of  new  capital  into  the  Bank,  all  of  which 
contributed to stronger capital ratios. 

In  June  2022  we  completed  the  acquisition  of  two  branches 
from FNBC Bank & Trust, expanding our presence in the greater 
Chicagoland  market.  The  acquisition  brought  us  $16.6  million 
in loans and $79.8 million in deposits. In 2022 we also planned 
for improving our presence in Sterling, Illinois by building a new 
branch facility. The new facility opened last month.

Our record results for the year came in the face of strong macro 
headwinds,  including  a  450-basis  point  increase  in  short-term 
interest  rates  prompted  by  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank’s  efforts 
to stem inflation. This rapid rate increase had an adverse effect 
on revenue at our mortgage-banking and Wealth Management

stock and bond prices. 

Financial Results

Net income available to common shareholders was $95.9 million, 
or $4.23 per fully diluted share in 2022 compared to net income 
of  $81.3  million,  or  $3.57  per  fully  diluted  share  in  2021.  Net 
income benefitted from a $17.5 million gain on the termination of 
an interest rate swap, which was partially offset by $3.3 million of 
impairment of commercial servicing rights held for sale and a $4.3 
million  OREO  impairment.  Our  adjusted  pre-tax,  pre-provision 
earnings increased by 14.2% on a year-over-year basis, to $137.5 
million as compared to $120.4 million for 2021.

2022  also  represented  the  22nd  consecutive  year  we  increased 
our  common  dividend.  When  taking  the  share  repurchases  and 
common  share  dividends  paid  in  2022  together,  we  distributed 
$27.0 million to our common shareholders.

Tangible book value per share at December 31, 2022 was $20.94, 
a 3.3% decrease from $21.66 a share in 2021. Tangible book value 
per share was negatively impacted by a significant decrease in the 
fair value of our securities portfolio. This resulted principally from 
unrealized losses on investment securities, which losses we do not 
expect to actually realize.

Total  loans  increased  by  $1.08  billion  or  20.7%,  to  $6.31  billion. 
Total  deposits,  which  include  servicing  deposits  and  wholesale 
deposits, increased by $254.0 million, or 4.2%, to $6.36 billion.

Our  focus  on  improving  efficiency  has  yielded  strong  results.  In 
2022,  our  efficiency  ratio  declined  to  55.4%  from  57.1%  in  2021, 
representing very strong year-over-year improvement. Given that 
our efficiency ratio was 66.1% in 2018, this represents a four-year 
improvement of 1,070 basis points.

Our Business Units

Community  Banking.  Loans  in  our  Community  Banking  business 
increased  to  approximately  $4.0  billion,  an  increase  of  $747.3 
million or 22.6% over 2021. Included in the loan activity during the 
year was the payoff of $50.6 million of PPP loans and a decrease in 
our commercial FHA warehouse lending activity of $66.9 million. 
Excluding  these  two  products,  loans  increased  $864.8  million  or 
26.1% during 2022. Core deposits grew to $4.8 billion, an increase 
of 5.5% year-over-year.

While  our  consumer  program  has  largely  been  through  our 
longstanding  relationship  with  GreenSky,  we  are  now  seeking  to 
diversify  our  consumer  portfolio,  partly  as  a  result  of  GreenSky 
having been acquired by Goldman Sachs in the second quarter of 
2022. In January 2023 we informed GreenSky that we do not intend 
to  originate  new  loans  through  their  program  starting  later  this 
year. Our intention is to engage with other loan originating fintechs 
that have solidified their business models and compliance regimes 
over the past years and can meet our requirements in those areas. 
Also, while we will stop originating additional GreenSky loans later

our balance sheet for several years during their payoff periods.

On  a  broader  basis,  we  also  expect  to  develop  a  robust  “banking  as 
a  service”  business,  which  is  commonly  referred  to  as  “BaaS.”  BaaS 
generally  involves  banks  providing  services  they  already  perform  for 
their  own  operations  to  one  or  more  outside  clients.  This  can  range 
from  funding  consumer  and/or  commercial  loan  originations,  as 
we  have  done  with  GreenSky  for  more  than  ten  years;  to  servicing 
loans,  as  we  have  done  for  FHA  lenders  for  several  years;  to  holding 
deposits  generated  by  non-bank  financial  service  companies;  to 
providing  payment  services  and  other  financial  services  these  clients 
need  but  for  regulatory  purposes  cannot,  or  do  not  want  to,  do  
for themselves.

Over the past couple of years, we have begun fostering relationships 
across  the  BaaS  ecosystem,  added  a  BaaS  technology  platform 
through  a  leading  provider,  and  held  discussions  with  a  number  of 
potential partners. However, as a result of our determination to employ 
strong caution and compliance requirements with respect to any new 
partnerships, we have not yet signed any new BaaS agreements. Still, I 
believe BaaS offers new revenue opportunities for us and I look forward 
to sharing additional information about this in the future.

Wealth Management. Increasing interest rates as a result of the Federal 
Reserve  Bank  actions  in  2022  had  a  negative  impact  on  the  stock 
markets  and  our  assets  under  administration  and  revenues.  Overall, 
Wealth  Management’s  assets  under  administration  declined  $594.1 
million, or 14.5% to $3.51 billion by the end of 2022, from year-end 2021. 
Wealth Management revenue declined 4.1% to $25.7 million, compared 
to 2021. However, this is a case where numbers do not tell the whole 
story. We have made significant progress in building a more vibrant and 
customer-centric wealth group, including at the leadership level. In June 
of 2022 Jayne Hladio, a seasoned wealth business executive, joined us 
as President of our Wealth Group. Jayne is a proven leader who has built 
successful customer-centric wealth management businesses. Jayne and 
her team have made great progress in upgrading and revitalizing our 
team, technology and business processes for our Wealth clients.

Equipment  Finance.  Our  equipment  finance  business  continues  to 
grow markedly, even as the pandemic caused great stress to many of 
its  customers.  Our  equipment  finance  portfolio  stood  at  $1.11  billion 
at  the  end  of  2022,  as  compared  to  $945.3  million  at  year-end  2021, 
representing an increase of 17.3%. Our equipment finance business has 
benefitted  greatly  from  the  strength  of  its  management  and  the  very 
cohesive team that operates this business for us. This is evident not only 
in its growth but also in its charge-off rates, which are consistently well 
below peer, based on the data provided by the Equipment Leasing and 
Finance Association.

Outlook

I continue to believe we are well positioned for the future. Our customer-
facing  teams  are  doing  great  work  and  remain  highly  motivated  to 
provide excellent customer service. The same is true for our operations 
people.  Although  I  have  concerns  about  the  ability  of  community 
banks  to  attract  deposits  and  maintain  a  healthy  net  interest  margin 
if  the  velocity  of  interest  rate  increases  does  not  abate,  I  view  that 
more  as  a  short-medium  term  headwind  that  we  cannot  control.  As 
such, we will continue our focus on the things we can control, such as 
managing expenses, credit quality and providing an excellent customer 
experience.  I  remain  confident  that  these  will  serve  us  well  in  2023  
and beyond. 

As always, we thank you for your continued support.

Tangible Common Equity, Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio and Tangible Book Value Per Share. Tangible common equity, 
tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP measures generally used by financial analysts 
and investment bankers to evaluate capital adequacy. We calculate: (i) tangible common equity as total shareholders’ equity less preferred equity, 
goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights); (ii) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets; 
and (iii) tangible book value per share as tangible common equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding.

Our management, banking regulators, many financial analysts and other investors use these measures in conjunction with more traditional bank capital 
ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of preferred equity and/or goodwill or other intangible 
assets, which typically stem from the use of the purchase accounting method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Tangible common equity, 
tangible assets, tangible book value per share and related measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total shareholders’ 
equity, total assets, book value per share or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate 
tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per share and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies 
reporting measures with similar names. The following table reconciles shareholders’ equity (on a GAAP basis) to tangible common equity and total 
assets (on a GAAP basis) to tangible assets, and calculates our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per share:

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Management measures return on average tangible common equity to assess the Company’s capital 
strength and business performance. Tangible equity excludes preferred equity, goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing 
rights),  and  is  reviewed  by  banking  and  financial  institution  regulators  when  assessing  a  financial  institution’s  capital  adequacy.  This  non-GAAP 
financial measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable 
to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table reconciles return on average tangible common equity to its most 
comparable GAAP measure:

Efficiency Ratio. Management uses the efficiency ratio to measure how effective the Bank is in using overhead expenses, including salaries and 
benefit costs and occupancy expenses as well as other operating expenses, in generating revenues. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure 
provides  meaningful  information  to  further  assist  investors  in  evaluating  our  operating  results.  This  non-GAAP  financial  measure  should  not  be 
considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used 
by other companies. The following table reconciles the efficiency ratio to its most comparable GAAP measure:

Impact 

(CDP) 

Plan 

Community Outreach
•  We have been serving families and businesses since 1881, offering 
products and services based on the needs of our customers.
•  We  work  with  more  than  150  low-to-moderate  income  (LMI) 
and minority focused community groups to insure we address 
the needs of each of our markets.

•  The  Midland  Institute  CEO  program,  a  unique  year-long 
program  designed  to  teach  entrepreneurship  to  high  school 
students, was created in 2010. In 2022, more than 60 programs, 
serving 288 high schools in 10 states, now utilize this powerful 
program for energizing tomorrow’s business leaders.

Culture and People
•  Since 2008 Midland has provided all employees with personal 

and professional development training.

•  Midland’s Advanced Study for Talent Enrichment and Resource 
Training (MASTERS) program serves to develop future leaders 
of the Company. To date 65% of participants have been women 
or minority employees.

•  Midland launched its Diversity & Inclusion Council in April 2020 

to focus on diversity in the workplace and workforce.

•  Beginning  in  2022,  Midland  offers  employees  paid  time  off 
to  contribute  their  time  and  talents  to  recognized  charities, 
causes, or not-for-profit community organizations.

Philanthropy
•  $132.5  million  of 

loans  extended 

towards  community 

development goals during the 2019-2021 period.

•  Since its creation in 2011, the Midland States Bank Foundation 
to  non-profit 

has  contributed  more 
than  $1.6  million 
organizations throughout Midland’s footprint.

seminars in LMI/minority neighborhoods in our footprint.

•  We have provided $877 million of financing for 148 affordable 

multi-family and health care projects since 2015.

Home Improvement programs we have made $97.3 million of

personal bankers, online with materials clearly describing the

Governance
Midland  has  a  long  history  of  effective  corporate  governance, 
inclusiveness  and  providing  opportunities  for  personal  and 
professional development for all employees.
Our Enterprise-Wide Risk Management program has been one of 
the five initiatives under our Strategic Plan since its creation in 2008.
Our  Executive  Compensation  program  is  designed  to  reward 
growth oriented results without exceeding proper credit and other 
risk tolerances for a community-focused banking organization. For 
example, under our executive compensation program we do not 
provide  tax  gross-ups,  we  do  not  include  walk-away  severance 
payments  or  single-trigger  cash  payments  upon  a  change  of 
control, we do not provide single-trigger vesting of equity awards 
in change of control transactions for awards granted during 2020 
and thereafter under our 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and we 
do not reprice equity awards without prior shareholder approval.

Reputation and Ethics
•  Midland States Bank was one of the first banks in the nation to 

have a woman on its board (1903).

•  Our  board  composition  includes  45%  women  and  minorities, 
and  our  criteria  for  identifying  directors  includes  seeking 
diverse individuals.

•  Our  Code  of  Business  Conduct  and  Ethics  is  available  at 

investors.midlandsb.com.

Oversight of Strategy and Risk Management
•  The Company’s Chair and CEO roles have been separate since 

the Company’s inception (1988).

•  All directors, except our CEO, are “independent” pursuant to 

applicable SEC/NASDAQ rules.

•  Our board of directors has established a Risk and Compliance 
Committee  to  oversee  all  aspects  of  risk  and  compliance 
management across our enterprise.

•  Consistent with COSO’s 2017 Enterprise-Wide Risk Management 
(ERM) Framework, our ERM program employs business process 
risk  ownership  and  the  “three  lines  of  defense”  model.  The 
primary objectives of our ERM framework are to:
•  Maintain sufficient liquidity given our funding requirements;
•  Identify,  measure,  monitor  and  report  market,  credit  and 

operational risks;

•  Promote awareness of emerging risks among all employees, 

managers, directors; and

•  Manage avoidable exposures through a robust framework of 

internal controls.

Data Security & Privacy
•  We  utilize  data  security  programs  and  a  privacy  policy  under 
which we do not sell or share customer information with non-
affiliated entities.

Executive Compensation
•  Our executive compensation, including all performance related 
compensation,  is  evaluated  annually  by  Risk  Management  to 
ensure consistency with Federal Reserve Safety and Soundness 
requirements,  and  the  Interagency  Guidance  on  Sound 
Incentive  Compensation  Policies  issued  jointly  by  the  federal 
regulatory agencies.

•  All  cash  and  equity  incentive  programs  for  executive  officers 
include performance metrics and/or four-year vesting periods.
