More defines us

2015 ANNUAL REPORT

More Responsive

We believe listening is the key difference that sets us apart from the 
competition and allows us to be more responsive and connected to our 
customers. Our brand promise, Count on more, is at the core of everything  
we deliver to our customers. We thrive on finding ways to help our 
customers achieve their goals—whatever needs to be done, we will  
make it happen. 

More Focused

In 2015, we took a hard look at our company and its fundamentals. We seized 
the opportunity to see how to do things better, to optimize our operations  
and become even more focused on success. As a result, we identified 
$32.9 million in cost savings. These savings—$9.5 million of which were 
recognized in 2015—will be fully realized on an annual basis beginning in 
2017. And we continue to be centered on growing our businesses in the 
most efficient, healthy and profitable way possible, without compromising  
our underlying values. We never make short-term decisions that will 
negatively impact our customers or the long-term value of our franchise.  

More Nimble

Our improved organizational alignment allows us to be more nimble as 
we continue to grow. These changes help streamline decision-making and 
improve communication, which results in a flatter, leaner and even more 
competitive organization. What hasn’t changed? We make thoughtful  
and swift decisions on loan approvals through a highly collaborative 
process among our lenders across the footprint and executive leadership.

More Potential

More truly does define us and the way we work. Our diversified business 
model is unlike any other in the industry. With more than 50 percent of our 
revenue coming from our fee-based businesses, we believe this business 
model makes us unique and ensures the long-term success of UMB. 

More Committed

For more than 103 years, the commitment of every single associate  
has driven UMB’s success. Every day, 3,830 hardworking, passionate  
and engaged associates are committed to delivering bottom-line results  
for our customers, communities, shareholders and one another.

What ‘more’ means to us

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,
In a time of rapid change and  
challenging markets, people are  
looking for more. They want more 
than a megabank. More than a  
mass-marketer of financial products. 
More than a faceless institution.  
Customers are looking for decision- 
makers who know them and are  
committed to them, and at UMB  
we believe they deserve exactly that. 
You can transact business anywhere, 
but forming a relationship that  
endures and grows is what sets  
us apart. 

We have uniquely positioned our  
company to thrive in this environment 
by delivering more. We have built a team 
of experts and designed a diversified 
array of services based on our associates’ 
passion to make our customers’ lives 
better. Truly, more defines us. In 2015, 
and moving into 2016, UMB has taken  
important actions that enhance our 
ability to create value for customers  
and shareholders. 

AMONG OUR 2015 MILESTONES
• We sharpened our focus to become  
  more efficient, identifying $32.9 million  
in cost savings, to be fully realized on

  an annual basis beginning in 2017—with  
  no compromise in customer service.
• We streamlined decision-making  
  and communication to become more  
  nimble. UMB is now leaner and even  
  more competitive.
• We expanded our potential for  
  growth by investing in key banking  
  markets, adding new specialty  
  finance businesses, and emphasizing  
  industry verticals. 

Since my first shareholder letter after 
becoming CEO in 2004, I’ve said that 
UMB's promise, Count on more, means 
our customers should receive a level of  
service that exceeds their expectations 
—that we truly do more than the  
competition. This commitment is  
unwavering. UMB’s culture is rich in  
history, balanced with innovation and an  
entrepreneurial spirit—sharing the values 
and enthusiasm of our customers.

GROWING AND CHANGING  
TO DELIVER MORE
While the headwinds of market  
uncertainty have affected us, UMB’s 
diversified financial services model  
has proven its value over and over.  
This sound strategy has delivered  
excellent performance over the

fee-based businesses sustained

EXECUTING ON A STRATEGIC  
OPPORTUNITY
In the spring of 2015, we finalized the 
acquisition of Marquette Financial 
Companies, acquiring the two Meridian 
Banks with a total of 13 branches in  
the Phoenix-Scottsdale and Dallas- 
Fort Worth areas, plus two national 
specialty finance businesses and an  
asset management firm. In 2016, we will  
complete the integration by combining 
teams in those markets and merging 
operations and systems.

UMB’s performance record underscores 
the long-term power of our business. 
Over the past five years, we delivered 
solid compound annual growth rates 
(CAGR) across several key metrics:
• Average total assets grew at a  
  9.9 percent rate from 2010 to 2015
• Average loans increased at an 
   industry-leading 13.4 percent 

I am very excited about our expanded 
growth potential. Both markets are 
larger than other cities in our footprint: 
the population of the Dallas-Fort  
Worth metropolitan area is approaching 
7 million and the Phoenix-Scottsdale 
area 4.5 million—which translates to 
plenty of opportunity to expand our 
market share.

allows them to make payments securely with  
one touch.

ACQUIRED MARQUETTE 
UMB acquired Marquette Financial Companies 
(MFC), a $1.4 billion financial-services company, 
in an all-stock transaction. With this deal, UMB

national specialty lending businesses focused on 
asset-based lending and factoring, as well as an 
asset management firm.

The two specialty lenders we acquired, 
national platforms for factoring and 
asset-based lending, also hold growth 
potential. UMB’s lower cost of funds 
makes these lenders more competitive 
now. UMB commercial clients also can 
benefit from additional financing  
options, so we are building relationships 
between UMB and Marquette lending 
teams for cross-referrals. As a result, 
in the second half of 2015, Marquette 
Commercial Finance, a division of  
Marquette Transportation Finance, 
completed a $20 million accounts  
receivable line of credit—the largest  
in its history.

The Marquette acquisition was accretive 
to UMB’s book value, but weighed on 
2015 earnings because of transaction 
and integration costs. We expect it  
to be accretive to earnings in 2016. 
We are also extremely pleased with the 
quality of the people who have joined 
the UMB family from the  
Marquette companies. Our cultures fit 
well together, promising a bright future.

GROWING ROBUSTLY AND  
OPTIMIZING OUR BALANCE SHEET
The consistency of UMB’s loan growth 
and the quality of our credit metrics

are hallmarks that endure through  
the years. Despite what might be  
going on around us, we have remained 
true to our high-quality underwriting  
standards in all environments.

The heart of UMB’s diversified business 
is the bank, and the performance  
of our banking team provided the  
momentum for our growth in 2015. 
Our industry-leading deposit and loan 
growth came both organically from 
UMB Bank and from our acquisition  
of Marquette’s $1.4 billion financial  
services business. At the same time, 
we recognized a need for UMB to 
become more efficient, so our teams 
planned and began implementing  
significant cost savings.

In 2015, total loans increased  
26.3 percent to $9.4 billion at year end. 
Lending by our legacy UMB teams 
contributed 13.2 percentage points of 
that growth, and the other half came 
from the addition of Marquette’s loan 
portfolio, along with loans generated 
by legacy Marquette lenders, of  
approximately $1 billion. In addition  
to the substantial growth, our portfolio 
is more diverse geographically and  
by loan type.

Two examples of how we expand  
lending while sticking to sound credit 
standards are industry verticals where 
we recently increased our focus:  
agribusiness and aviation. Given that 
our footprint includes some highly  
concentrated agricultural areas, we 
have deliberately expanded our teams, 
adding relationship officers with  
expertise in dairy, food processing, 
row-crop and seed production— 
resulting in our agriculture loan totals 
growing to more than $500 million.  
In aviation, which many banks do not 
understand or serve well, we have 
added specialized expertise to build 
relationships with private aircraft  
owners and operators. Now they look

to UMB both to finance their aircraft 
and to meet other business needs.  
We bring the same kind of customer 
focus to all of UMB’s market segments.

Deposits also expanded both  
organically and by acquisition,  
standing at $15.1 billion at year end. 
Legacy UMB deposits represented 
$14.3 billion of that total, an increase  
of 5.0 percent year-over-year, while  
the acquisition of Marquette boosted 
total deposits by $798.6 million. 

A core strategy to deliver growth in 
earnings is to optimize our balance 
sheet, and we made strides in 2015 
by shifting our mix of interest-earning 
assets from securities, which offer low 
yields in this environment, into loans, 
which provide better returns. A key 
balance sheet metric, loan-to-deposit 
ratio, improved to 62.5 percent at year 
end, from 54.8 percent a year earlier. 
Net interest margin improved 15 basis 
points to 2.64 percent for 2015.

Our low cost of funds is a powerful 
competitive advantage in our lending 
relationships, and our diversified  
financial services model provides  
an enduring source of low-cost  
deposits that we believe will continue 
to fuel profitable growth for our  
banking business.

TAKING ACTION AND ENHANCING  
EFFICIENCY
Even as UMB continues to grow,  
we recognize the need for more of  
our revenue to make it to the bottom 
line, and we took important actions  
in 2015 to enhance operational  
efficiency and reduce costs, particularly 
on the banking side of our business.  
In July and October, we announced  
the details of our organizational  
realignment and efficiency initiatives. 

Our UMB teams delved into every  
possible operational improvement, 
listing and prioritizing changes to save 
on expenses—always mindful to “do 
no harm” to our customer experience, 
which is paramount in driving UMB’s 
long-term success. We expect this 
company-wide effort to deliver  
$32.9 million in expense reductions, 
fully annualized beginning in 2017.  
In 2015, we recognized $9.5 million  
of these cost savings, running ahead 
of schedule compared to the expected 
$6.8 million of first-year savings we  
had announced.

In 2015, our efficiency ratio was higher 
than industry norms. Some of UMB’s 
cost structure is higher because our 
business is more diversified than the  
average bank, but we are determined 
to bring the overall efficiency ratio  

down. Our goal is an efficiency ratio  
of 70 percent, a milestone we believe 
we can achieve. 

And then we want to do more. Increasing  
efficiency isn’t a one-time project. 
Across the company, we will keep 
identifying better ways of doing things 
—an ongoing focus on growing in the 
most efficient way possible to improve 
UMB’s returns to shareholders. 

BUILDING STRENGTH WITH  
DIVERSITY 
We have carefully built our business 
model over the years to be different 
from most banks. As a diversified  
financial services company, our  
multiple revenue streams from banking 
and fee-based businesses give UMB 
added stability to endure economic 
cycles and fluctuations in financial 
markets. In addition, these businesses 
provide low-cost deposits for lending. 

In 2015, we faced headwinds in our 
institutional investment management 
segment from volatility in the markets, 
as well as from continued net outflows 
driven by underperformance in the 
Scout International Fund over the past 
several quarters. Noninterest income 
declined $32.2 million in 2015 from the 
prior year, impacted mainly by lower  
revenue from our Scout Investments

business and a decline in equity  
earnings on alternative investments. 
These challenging factors were  
partially offset by robust 2015 growth 
in revenue from our healthcare and 
bankcard businesses, plus increased 
gains on the sale of securities. 

those investments. In addition, the mix  
of Scout’s assets under management 
shifted. Amid equity outflows, assets  
in fixed income strategies remained 
relatively stable, shifting our overall mix 
to 22 percent equity and 78 percent 
fixed income. 

The diversified structure provided 
noninterest income of $466.5 million 
in 2015, 53.1 percent of UMB’s revenue 
compared with $498.7 million or  
58.8 percent of revenue in 2014.  
The bank’s net interest income  
increased by $62.0 million, nearly 
double the $32.2 million drop in  
noninterest income—and total  
revenue from banking and fee-based 
businesses increased $29.8 million. 

FOCUSING ON TURNAROUND  
IN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENT 
MANAGEMENT
Our Scout Investments business was 
impacted by the fluctuations in capital 
markets and saw increased outflows 
in 2015, particularly in our international 
equity strategy. Scout assets under 
management stood at $27.2 billion  
at year-end 2015, down from  
$31.2 billion a year earlier, and this  
led to lower revenue from managing 

We are focused on leveraging our 
Scout distribution channels and  
improving the performance of our  
investment strategies, which is the  
best way to stem future outflows  
and ultimately return to net inflows.

investment assets reached $118.3 million.

In 2015, we introduced a new tool 
called the UMB HSA Saver,® designed 
to provide accountholders a simplified 
approach to managing investment  
options within their HSAs. High  
out-of-pocket healthcare costs often 
strike during retirement, so we are  
encouraging long-term, tax-advantaged  
saving in HSAs—and offering step- 
by-step guidance in managing the 
investments. This innovative solution 
adds to the customer experience  
with an HSA from UMB. 

Debit and credit card purchase  
volumes in 2015 were $9.3 billion,  
an increase of 10.2 percent from the 
prior year, driving total interchange  
revenue of $77.4 million. We remain 
very enthusiastic about the prospects 
of our healthcare and card businesses.

SETTING OUR OWN COURSE

heritage, we have never looked to

business. While our various products 
are seeing traction—for example,  
our alternative investment servicing 
team added 78 new funds during the 
year—assets under administration fell 
slightly in 2015, ending the year at 
$185.6 billion. 

Equity and fixed income markets are, 
of course, hard to predict near term. 
While we can’t predict the timing, we 
expect improved performance over 
time to impact net flows and asset 
levels for our asset management and 
servicing businesses, and ultimately 
lead to increased revenue. For the  
long haul, these businesses are  
important components of UMB’s  
diversified model. 

CONTINUING MOMENTUM IN 
HEALTHCARE AND CARD SERVICES
Our Payment Solutions segment  
continues to drive strong volume  
and revenue growth, as well as  
providing low-cost deposits that  
serve as a competitive advantage  
for lending.

business sectors, and very gradual 
moves by policymakers toward  
normalization after seven years of 
near-zero interest rates. 

We will continue to take actions  
to make UMB even more focused, 
nimble and responsive to the needs  
of our customers. Our business  
model has proven that it works, and 
now our organization is tuned up  
to be more efficient and to execute  
on UMB’s potential.

FOR 2016, WE HAVE OUTLINED 
STRAIGHTFORWARD GOALS
• Continue to deliver the cost savings  
  and efficiency improvements we  
  began in 2015, as well as finding  
  additional enhancements to benefit  
  UMB’s bottom line.

• Fully integrate our Marquette  
  franchises into UMB’s banking  
  business, growing the combined  
  customer base, as well as looking  
  for additional opportunities. 
• Maintain a strong capital position,  
  which provides the company access  
  to funding sources and enhances  
  our ability to capitalize on business  
  growth and acquisition opportunities.
• Continue to optimize the balance  
  sheet, leveraging our lending teams’  
  expertise to shift earning assets into  
  loans, increasing net interest margin  
  and income. 
• Return to net inflows and increased  
  revenue via improved investment  
  performance and continued strong  
  distribution efforts.
• Sustain the robust growth of UMB  
  Healthcare Services and our credit  
  and debit card volumes and revenue. 
• Always stay focused on providing  
  the unparalleled customer experience.  
  It’s who we are.

With a long runway for growth across 
our diverse businesses, we believe UMB’s 
commitment will maximize opportunities 
to deliver more for customers and  
shareholders in the years ahead.

“

Because of our strong entrepreneurial heritage,  
we have never looked to Washington, D.C. as  
the source of stability or growth for UMB. Our  
success will come from out-competing our peers  
in banking and financial services, and we are  
‘all in’ for meeting challenges of the environment.

“

VALUING PEOPLE AND DOING  
THE RIGHT THING
In closing, I would like to emphasize 
that how we deliver more is all about 
our 3,830 associates—and you. This 
place is more than a financial institution. 
It’s alive, with a heartbeat and personality,  
because of our people. I feel it in  
UMB’s offices all across the footprint—
including the newly acquired  
businesses that joined us in 2015. 
These outstanding associates are the 
key to creating value for customers  
and shareholders.

As part of our enduring culture, UMB 
hires the best people and values them. 
Our average tenure is more than eight 
years, so bank customers don’t have 
to get to know a new officer every six 
months or “retrain their banker,” so to 
speak. In business, when opportunity 
knocks, an entrepreneur needs to take 
action. So a customer’s relationship  
with UMB means their banker or  
relationship manager already knows 
them and is ready to offer support.

with UMB, and many more years of 
industry experience, to credit decisions, 
so it is no accident that we maintain 
best-in-class asset quality and risk 
management practices. Our people 
embrace the philosophy of doing the 
right thing, not what is popular at the 
moment. Tenure and expertise keep 
our businesses focused on delivering 
consistent performance.

Our team is resilient and entrepreneurial,  
embracing the same spirit that gives 
America its enduring strength. Our 
customers appreciate this energy and 
commitment. So our future is bright, 
and we look forward to reporting  
further progress in 2016 and beyond. 

Thank you for your support of  
UMB as a customer and shareholder. 
We appreciate your trust.

Sincerely,

The deep experience of UMB’s team 
also pays off for shareholders. For  
example, our loan committee brings  
an average of 19 years of experience

UMB has consistently exhibited 
loan growth, increasing total loans 
by 26.3% percent at the end of 2015.  

And, the growth of industrial 
revenue bonds, classified as  
held-to-maturity securities— 
which increased from $278.1 million 
at the end of 2014 to $667.1 million 
in 2015—demonstrates the strength  
of our balance sheet and our 
diversified focus. 

The acquisition of Marquette 
Financial Companies has allowed 
us to expand both our services and 
our ability to reach new audiences 
in high-growth markets, and this is 
only the beginning of the benefits  
we’ll see from this purchase.

In the past year, UMB experienced 
record-setting events that  
demonstrate our ability to grow even  
in challenging economic climates. 

• For the first time, we exceeded $15 billion  
  in total deposits with 10.8 percent  
  annual growth. 

• Net interest income for 2015 grew 17.7 percent  
  to reach a record high of $412.1 million. 

• Loan growth reached 26.3 percent in 2015,  
  one of our highest yet, and fourth quarter  
  represented our 23rd consecutive quarter  
  of increasing loan balances.

• In the past five years, our shareholder equity  
  increased 78.5 percent (12.3 percent CAGR). 

Paired with the strides we have  
taken to increase efficiency,  
including identifying cost savings  
of $32.9 million,1 these achievements 
help position us for steady growth  
in 2016 and beyond.
