An Emerging Force

2009  Annu Al rEport

Charles N. Funk, President and CEO, 
and W. Richard Summerwill, Chairman.

to our ShArEholdErS

This is the third annual report presented to you since the 
March, 2008 merger of ISB Financial Corp. and the “former” 
MidWestOne Financial Group. Much has taken place since 
that combination of two well established and respected Iowa 
community banking organizations. 

We endured a tornado and a major flood in 2008, 
the worst economy in a generation, and all of the 
normal day-to-day challenges inherent in any merger 
transaction. If we have learned anything during these 
two years, it is the art of perseverance. This necessary 
mind set prompts us to be very optimistic about the 
long term future of MidWestOne.

  Our financial performance in 2009 exceeded 2008 
results. Nevertheless, it was well below our long-term 
goals. MidWestOne Financial earned $4,409,000 before 
the dividend on the Company’s preferred stock leaving 
$3,630,000 net income available to common shareholders, 
equal to $0.42 per diluted common share, in 2009. Among 
the factors that contributed to this financial performance, 
three are most noteworthy, all directly related to the poor 
economy:

•	 Our	FDIC	insurance	premiums	increased	significantly	
to $3,244,000 from $595,000 in 2008 as the banking 
industry assumed the cost of the 145 bank failures as of 
year-end 2009. 

•	 Given	current	conditions,	we	aggressively	built	our	loan	

loss reserve in our bank loan portfolio. Our provision 
for loan losses increased to $7,725,000 in 2009 from 
$4,366,000 in 2008. It is important to note that our 
2009 provision significantly exceeded net charge-offs of 
$4,745,000 during the year.

•	 The	results	of	our	loan	pool	participations	were	well	
below our historical averages. Shareholders will recall 
this is a line of business the former MidWestOne had 
been involved with since 1988. The “all-in” yield on this 
loan portfolio declined to 3.21% in 2009 from 8.41% in 
2008. In terms of income, the decline was to $1,809,000 
in 2009 from $4,459,000 in 2008. This was the worst 
performance in the 21 year history of the loan pools.

MidWestOne Financial group, inc. 2009 annual report 1

 
To summarize, these three items represented a pre-tax 
reduction in 2009 earnings of $8,658,000. Looking ahead, we 
expect	that	FDIC	insurance	premiums	will	remain	at	higher	
than historical levels. With the stabilization that we have seen 
in the economy during 2009 and so far in 2010, the loan 
loss provision for the bank loan portfolio may be less in 2010 
than in 2009 but this, of course, ultimately depends on the 
experience of the bank loan portfolio as the year progresses. 
With regard to loan pools, we believe returns will continue to 
be lower than historical norms in 2010.

Prominent in most discussions concerning banking 
companies during the past few years is an examination of 
credit quality in the loan portfolio. MidWestOne ended 2009 
with a 1.44% ratio of non-performing loans to total loans in 
the bank loan portfolio. This is an improvement from year 
end 2008 when the comparable ratio was 1.50%. Loans 30-89 
days past due also declined to $10.1 million at 2009 year-end 
from $10.8 million at the end of 2008. Other real estate 
owned increased to $3.6 million at year-end 2009 from $1.0 
million at year-end 2008 as we moved non-performing loans 
toward resolution. We had net charge-offs in 2009 of 0.49% 
of average total loans. While all the above numbers are higher 
than we have normally experienced, we believe they represent 
solid performance in difficult times and we commend our 
lending and loan review personnel for this achievement in an 
extremely challenging economic environment.

In the past two annual letters, we discussed three major 

corporate goals.

•	 We	have	reduced	our	loan	to	deposit	ratio	to	89.2%	
at year-end 2009 from 98.4% at the end of the prior 
year. This is consistent with our “in the 80s” goal. We 
believe we can provide shareholders with solid returns 
with loan to deposit ratios in this range. Higher loan 
to deposit levels generally present higher levels of credit 
and liquidity risk; thus, we believe that our “in the 80s” 
goal achieves the appropriate balance between generating 
attractive returns and managing risk.

•	 Progress	toward	our	goal	of	non-interest	income	

accounting for 30% of total revenues was obscured by 
several one-time, non-core items. For example, on the 
positive side there were one-time gains from the sale 
of investment securities and on the negative side there 
were other than temporary impairment charges with 
respect to certain investment securities in our portfolio. 
Also, there were a number of smaller adjustments, both 
positive and negative, which resulted from integration 
and compliance issues attributable to the 2008 merger. 
On an ongoing basis, the primary drivers toward our goal 
will be real estate loan fees and wealth management fees. 
We progressed in both areas last year and believe we can 
reach our 30% goal over the next few years.

•	

Implementation	of	a	disciplined	expense	management	
culture is continuing. While professional fees continued 
to be high ($3,635,000 in 2009) due to the early stages 
of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs and loan collection 
expenses, we expect this number to decline in 2010. We 
have also undertaken a review of all banking operations 
with the goal of increased efficiency.

2 MidWestOne Financial group, inc. 2009 annual report

  On the senior management front, we have continued 
to strengthen our team by putting the right people in the 
right jobs throughout the company. We promoted Susan 
R. Evans to Chief Operating Officer and Gary J. Ortale to 
Chief	Financial	Officer.	During	2009	we	welcomed	James	
M. Cantrell as Senior Vice President of Risk Management at 
MidWestOne Bank and Gregory W. Turner as Senior Vice 
President of Wealth Management. Jim and Greg, together 
with others hired during 2009, will be counted upon heavily 
in the years ahead.

All MidWestOne employees have regular educational 

discussions relative to our 75-year mission statement of 
“taking care of our customers and those who should be.” We 
devote substantial resources to train our employees to execute 
our	mission	with	each	customer	encounter.	During	the	final	
quarter of 2009, we saw more frequent examples of our 
employees working together to increase our wallet share and 
allow MidWestOne to play an even greater role in the lives of 
our customers.

Unfortunately, the banking industry experienced 
significantly increased costs of compliance in 2009. More 
proposed regulations are being debated in Congress in 
response to the financial crisis of 2008–2009 that, if enacted, 
would raise our cost of doing business and potentially restrict 
consumers’ access to credit. Community banks have not been 
at the center of the economic crisis. It is our hope that when 
the final laws are written, they do not unfairly penalize the 
community banks who have not engaged in many of the risky 
practices engaged in by the large Wall Street institutions. 
We believe that community banks will play an integral role 
in rebuilding local economies through financing small 
businesses and consumers in their local communities, and 
hope that any new regulation will help facilitate lending by 
community banks rather than imposing additional costs and 
regulatory burdens.

  While we do not see completely smooth sailing ahead, 
we do nevertheless believe that the worst has passed for 
MidWestOne. We must continue to closely monitor our loan 
portfolio as it will be the biggest determinant of near term 
profit improvement. In that vein, we do take comfort that 
Iowa remains in much better shape than the nation with 
an unemployment rate of just 6.6% and a relatively stable 
agricultural economy.

  We thank our employees for a year of hard work and 
progress in continuing to build a strong foundation. We also 
thank our shareholders for your patience and support. We 
look forward to the future with some optimism. We are — and 
we remain — a force in Iowa banking!

Bu i lding on o ur legacy

todd Means and Barb Finney 
mirror MidWestOne’s 
commitment to community

Among MidWestOne’s greatest assets are the talented employees it has fostered from early 

in their careers. Joining the bank in entry-level positions, such as service associates and loan 
processors, many employees choose to stay with the organization, growing into more senior 
positions. Two such employees have recently been recognized for their excellence — Todd 
Means and Barb Finney.

  Means previously worked at another bank as a teller, while getting his degree in Economics 
from The University of Iowa. He joined the bank in 2002 as manager of the Coralville branch, 
eventually bringing another branch under his leadership three years later. 

Last August, Means was promoted to Vice President and Central Region Retail Manager. 

Based in Iowa City, he oversees the retail programs at six branches, helping them to expand 
their	consumer	lending,	checking,	savings	and	CDs,	as	well	as	tending	to	service	quality	and	
the bank’s mission statement. He is currently working toward his graduate degree from the 
Graduate School of Banking in Colorado.

In 2009, he was recognized by the Corridor Business Journal in its “40 Under 40” issue as a 
young leader in the community. Means was surprised by his inclusion in the roundup of local 
talent but definitely pleased. He especially enjoys and values the way in which his job allows 
him to give back to the community. 

“MidWestOne is a big bank, but we really have a community-centered, small-town feel, 

which is very important to me,” says Means, who was born and raised in Iowa City, and now 
has two school-aged children of his own. “I really want to work for a place that has the same 
passion for the community that I do.”

  Mean’s colleague, Finney, is Market President and West Region Retail Manager. Based 
in Oskaloosa, she has been with the bank for 13 years, starting at age 26 as the Operations 
Officer for the then-Mahaska Investment Company. When Mahaska merged the four 
institutions under its control in 2006, Finney oversaw the consolidation process. She was 
especially focused on product standardizaton. 

“We wanted to be sure that while we became more efficient and offered more products,” 

explains Finney, “we didn’t lose anything by way of customer service or the community 
involvements that made each bank unique.”

Finney graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Finance at The University of Iowa, before 
pursuing a degree from the Graduate School of Banking in Colorado. A strong commercial 
banking instructor piqued her interested in a career in banking, and her first job was as 
an examiner for the Sioux City branch of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. 
The position allowed her to travel widely and see a multitude of examples of how banks are 
managed, an experience she says was invaluable. When she started a family, however, she 
decided that she wanted to stay closer to home in central Iowa.

Last summer, Charlie Funk, president and CEO of MidWestOne Bank, nominated Finney 
for NorthWestern Financial Review’s annual “Rising Stars in Banking” competition. He noted 
that Finney, who won the award, “has become one of our key officers.” 

The mother of two children, Finney, much like Means, values MidWestOne’s commitment 

to community. “We care deeply about our communities,” she notes. “We appreciate each 
individual town and its differences, while also providing the products and services of a large 
institution.” Having experienced many different banking institutions, she believes this to be a 
unique combination.

No doubt, both Finney and Means have a special loyalty toward MidWestOne because of 
the years that they have spent with the institution, beginning at early ages. Now in a position 
to hire current students and recent college graduates, Means is especially proud of the bank’s 
dedication to its youngest employees: “No matter someone’s age, they have to prove themselves, 
of course. But we provide a lot of opportunities for younger people to grow with us.”

“no Matter 

soMeone’s age, 

they have to 

prove theMselves, 

oF course. But We 

provide a lot oF 

opportunities For 

younger people to 

groW With us.”

Marketing o ut s i de th e Box

telling our story

Lose the pig! That was the message that greeted MidWestOne customers for much of 
the summer of 2009 on signs, t-shirts, and piggy banks. Promoting the Bank’s unique Bank 
Your Change service, the campaign reminded people that they no longer needed a piggy bank 
because MidWestOne would round up to the next whole dollar any purchase they made on 
their Check Card and automatically deposit the difference into a savings account. 

Featuring a cute but forlorn pig holding a sign, “Need Work,” the campaign garnered 
several awards from the Iowa Bankers Association, including Best of Show and People’s Choice 
for best campaign.

  Marketing Officer, Nick Pfeiffer, says that MidWestOne prides itself on its out-of-the-box 
approach to marketing. “The overall goal of our marketing tactics is to establish relationships 
and create a buzz,” he says. “We want our customers, and those who should be, to know that 
MidWestOne isn’t your typical bank.” 

  Other recent marketing campaigns have focused on community outreach, including a 
program between MidWestOne and the animal shelters in two of its communities, Iowa City 
and Burlington, which provided reduced-price microchipping for dogs. Pet owners could 
bring their dog to a MidWestOne branch on a certain day and animal shelter employees would 
chip the dog. Microchips about the size of a grain of rice are implanted in a painless and 
quick process, after which dogs can be scanned and their owner’s information quickly located 
should the animals become lost or stolen. In two years, more than six hundred dogs have been 
microchipped through this program.

Two other programs send MidWestOne employees into the community to do unsuspecting 

good. “A Plug for You. A Plug for Us,” was started at the downtown branch of the Iowa City 
location in 2008. At random times each week, a bank employee walks around downtown—an 
area with many hotly contested short-term meters — and puts ten or fifteen cents into meters 
that	are	about	to	expire	or	have	already	expired.	Drivers	learn	about	this	act	of	goodwill	
through a card bearing the MidWestOne logo that is left on the windshield and reads, “We 
noticed your meter was running a little low, so we dropped a few coins your way to give you 
some extra time. Thank you for spending time in, and supporting, downtown Iowa City. Be 
sure to stop by and see us!” 

“This program has generated a lot of goodwill for the bank,” says Pfeiffer, noting several 
thank you letters the bank has received from grateful drivers. “It leaves a good impression on 
both members of the community and people visiting from outside of the area.” 

In order to raise awareness about environmental issues, while also getting the MidWestOne 
brand into the community, the bank has given away more than 50,000 reusable tote bags since 
June of 2008. The bags were distributed not only at branches but also at community events, 
parades, and farmers markets. Recipients were told that they could “Get caught holding the 
bag” and win cash. More than $10,000 in cash prizes have since been given away in the form of 
coupons worth $25, $50, and $100 that bank employees disburse randomly at public events or 
just on the street during a lunch break. 

  Marketing campaigns such as these are relatively easy and low-cost ways for MidWestOne 
to capture the public’s attention and instill trust and a sense of neighborly generosity. The fact 
that the campaigns are often fun and practical is an added bonus. As Pfeiffer notes, “You can 
go to any financial institution and get a checking account or a loan, but when you come to 
MidWestOne Bank you are getting outstanding service, a community leader, and a friend that 
knows how and when to have fun. It really does make a difference.”

“the overall goal oF our Marketing tactics is to estaBlish relationships and 

create a Buzz. We Want our custoMers, and those Who should Be, to knoW  

that MidWestOne isn’t your typical Bank..”

“We recognize that ‘taking care oF our custoMers’ could have a diFFerent 

Meaning For each eMployee, and We Want to help our eMployees have a More 

uniForM approach to helping our custoMers.”

  susan Weinschenk, vice president oF huMan resource developMent

Extraordinary deeds through 
Genuine Efforts

“Take care of our customers and those who should be,” is the MidWestOne Bank 

mission statement. The belief that developing strong relationships is a key to success led bank 
executives to a decision four years ago to provide employees with additional tools to enhance 
their communication skills. The Bank created a service skill development program called 
EDGE—Extraordinary	Deeds	through	Genuine	Efforts.	

  MidWestOne employees of all levels have participated in the program, from the custodians 
to the president. “We recognize the fact that ‘taking care of our customers’ could have a 
different meaning for each employee, and we want to help our employees have a more uniform 
approach to helping our customers,” says Susan Weinschenk, Vice President of Human 
Resource	Development.	

The goal, according to Weinschenk, is to provide MidWestOne’s staff with tools for 
dealing comfortably with a wide range of customers and situations. “We want to give people 
skills that they can rely on,” she says. “It’s not about giving them a script, but allowing them to 
personalize a message and make it genuine.”

The skills learned in the initial course help employees focus on using a positive attitude to 

take ownership of interactions by satisfying the TRU needs of customers. Customers are defined 
as both internal and external and all have TRU needs. The TRU needs are: Task, Respect, and 
Uniqueness. Employees take ownership of their interactions by going beyond respectful service to 
meet the unique needs and situations of the person with whom they are interacting. 

The program is divided into two six-hour classes, and is held over two weeks. Small groups 
work together, learning about the skills, writing scripts, and discussing various customer service 
scenarios that can be improved utilizing the skills.

The	initial	program	focuses	on	the	following	ABCDE	skills:	

•	 Aligning	with	people	by	greeting	them	warmly	and	professionally,	or	empathizing	with	

them when they are upset or have a complaint or problem; 

•	 Bridging	by	keeping	the	person	informed	of	what	you	are	doing	or	will	do;	

•	 Clarifying	and	Checking	to	better	understand	the	person’s	needs	and	wishes	before	

offering solutions or options;

•	 Delighting	people	by	going	the	extra	mile	to	meet	their	uniqueness	needs;	

•	 Explaining	solutions	and	options	in	simple,	easy	to	understand	terms	that	include	a	

benefit to the person. 

Cedar	Valley	Market	President	Sue	Armbrecht,	says	that	EDGE	helps	employees	to	“focus	on	

the importance of aligning with your customer from the Welcome through the Close, ensuring 
they receive the proper services needed specifically for them.” Weinschenk says, “Our people come 
out of these classes with a new level of confidence. Most importantly, they bring away pride.” 

In	addition	to	the	introductory	EDGE	classes	for	new	employees,	Weinschenk’s	staff	
reinforces	the	EDGE	Skills	by	providing	follow-up	events	and	activities	and	by	including	the	
skills in other classes they conduct. She says that a range of bank employees, including service 
associates,	personal	bankers,	and	supervisors,	benefit	from	EDGE	in	their	ongoing	and	daily	
interactions with internal and external customers. “These truly are communication skills, so 
they can be used in a multitude of situations,” says Weinschenk. “They are not just specific to 
customer service.”
