LAKE FOREST, Ill., Jan. 24, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wintrust Financial Corporation ("Wintrust" or "the Company") (Nasdaq:WTFC) announced net income of $14.2 million or $(0.06) per diluted common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, and $63.3 million or $1.02 per diluted common share for the full year of 2010. The fourth quarter of 2010 and full year 2010 results include a non-cash deemed preferred stock dividend of $11.4 million. Fourth quarter 2010 net income per diluted common share was reduced by $0.33 as a result, while full year 2010 net income per diluted common share was reduced by $0.36. This was recorded as a result of the Company's full repurchase of its TARP Capital Purchase Program preferred stock ("TARP") (see "Capital" section later in this document) on December 22, 2010.
The Company's total assets of $14.0 billion at December 31, 2010 increased $1.8 billion from December 31, 2009. Total deposits as of December 31, 2010 were $10.8 billion, an increase of $886.6 million from December 31, 2009. Noninterest bearing deposits increased by $336.9 million or 39% since December 31, 2009, while NOW, money market and savings deposits increased $553.5 million or 16% during the same time period. Total loans, including loans held for sale and excluding covered loans, were $10.0 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $1.3 billion over December 31, 2009. Commercial real-estate loans as a percentage of total loans declined to 34% at December 31, 2010, down from 39% at December 31, 2009.
Edward J. Wehmer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report net income of $14.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $63.3 million for the full year 2010. Core pre-tax earnings increased 60% in 2010, to $196.5 million from $122.8 million in 2009. The annualized run rate of core pre-tax earnings, based on fourth quarter results, improved to $232.7 million.
"The fourth quarter of 2010 was an extremely active time for the Company. In December, we completed a capital offering that generated $327.5 million of net cash proceeds and added $284.2 million to our capital base. This allowed us to fully repurchase our $250 million of TARP securities from the U.S. Treasury in December. Coupled with our March 2010 capital offering that raised $210.3 million, we increased our total risk-based capital ratio to 13.9% while increasing our asset size by $1.8 billion."
Mr. Wehmer noted, "The Company's net interest margin for the quarter improved to 3.46% from 3.22% in the third quarter of 2010. For the full year of 2010, the Company's net interest margin increased to 3.37% from 3.01% in 2009. The 36 basis point improvement was primarily caused by:
- 58 basis point improvement from lower re-pricing of retail deposits
- 23 basis point improvement due to an increase in the accretion on the purchased life insurance premium finance portfolio as a result of prepayments
- 10 basis point improvement as a result of lower wholesale funding costs
Partially offset by:
- 33 basis point reduction due to the combination of higher levels of liquidity management assets and lower yields on those assets due to a higher than normal short-term liquidity position during this challenging interest rate environment
- 17 basis point reduction due to lower yield on loans
- Five basis point reduction due to lower contribution from net free funds."
Commenting on credit, Mr. Wehmer said, "The Company continues to aggressively identify potential non-performing credits and take actions on existing non-performing credits." Mr. Wehmer continued, commenting that excluding the impact of the covered loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transactions: "total non-performing assets as a percent of total assets has remained at very stable levels for the past 5 quarters. During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $28.8 million, net charge-offs of $23.5 million, and OREO losses on sales and valuation adjustments of $5.5 million. Our allowance for loan losses increased to $113.9 million or 1.19% of total loans." Commenting on the Company's deposit base, Mr. Wehmer noted that, "the Company's deposit mix is more balanced and less reliant on single product retail certificate of deposit customers and wholesale deposits than it was at December 31, 2009."
In closing, Mr. Wehmer added, "In 2010 we strategically increased our market expansion through FDIC-assisted transactions and other branch purchase decisions into desirable markets. We strengthened our capital base which brought our tangible book value up to $25.80 at year-end. Our core pre-tax earnings run rate on an annualized basis for the fourth quarter is substantially higher than our core pre-tax earnings for all of 2010. We will continue to evaluate opportunities in all of our lines of business as the Company is well positioned for opportunities in 2011."
Analysis for the following financial metrics and respective time periods is presented below: core pre-tax earnings by year (last 5 year-ends), core pre-tax earnings by quarter on an annualized basis (last 5 quarter-ends), non-performing loans as a percent of total loans (last 5 year-ends), non-performing assets as a percent of total assets (last 5 year-ends), and tangible common book value per share (last 5 year-ends).

Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are "annualized" in this presentation to represent an annual time period. This is done for analytical purposes to better discern for decision-making purposes underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. For example, a 5% growth rate for a quarter would represent an annualized 20% growth rate.

Items Impacting Comparative Financial Results: Acquisitions, Securitization and Capital
Acquisitions
On August 17, 2010, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Wheaton Bank & Trust Company ("Wheaton") signed a Branch Purchase and Assumption Agreement whereby it agreed to acquire a branch of First National Bank of Brookfield ("Naperville") located in Naperville, Illinois. The transaction closed on October 22, 2010 and the acquired operations are operating as Naperville Bank & Trust. Through this transaction, Wheaton Bank & Trust Company acquired approximately $23 million of deposits, approximately $11 million of performing loans, the property, bank facility and various other assets.
On August 6, 2010, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Northbrook Bank & Trust Company ("Northbrook"), in an FDIC-assisted transaction, had acquired certain assets and liabilities and the banking operations of Ravenswood Bank ("Ravenswood"). Ravenswood operated one location in Chicago, Illinois and one in Mount Prospect, Illinois.
On April 23, 2010, the Company announced that Northbrook and Wheaton, in two FDIC-assisted transactions, had acquired certain assets and liabilities and the banking operations of Lincoln Park Savings Bank ("Lincoln Park") and Wheatland Bank ("Wheatland"), respectively. Lincoln Park operated four locations in Chicago, Illinois. Wheatland had one location in Naperville, Illinois.
In summary, in the FDIC-assisted transactions:
- Northbrook assumed approximately $120 million of the outstanding deposits and approximately $188 million of assets of Ravenswood, prior to purchase accounting adjustments.
- Northbrook assumed approximately $160 million of the outstanding deposits and approximately $170 million of assets of Lincoln Park, prior to purchase accounting adjustments.
- Wheaton assumed approximately $400 million of the outstanding deposits and approximately $370 million of assets of Wheatland, prior to purchase accounting adjustments.
The Company recognized a gain of $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $250,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010 (due to final valuation adjustments) on the Ravenswood acquisition. The Company recognized gains of $22.3 million and $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 on the Wheatland and Lincoln Park acquisitions, respectively. These gains are shown as a gain on bargain purchases, which is a component of non-interest income, on the Company's statements of income. The Company recorded goodwill of $1.6 million on the Naperville acquisition.
Loans comprise the majority of the assets acquired in the three FDIC-assisted transactions and are subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC where the FDIC has agreed to reimburse the Company for 80% of losses incurred on the purchased loans. We refer to the loans subject to these loss-sharing agreements as "covered loans." Covered assets include covered loans, covered OREO and certain other covered assets. The agreements with the FDIC require that the Company follow certain servicing procedures or risk losing FDIC reimbursement of losses related to covered assets.
In 2009, the Company announced that its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, First Insurance Funding Corp. ("FIFC") completed the purchase of a majority of the U.S. life insurance premium finance assets of A.I. Credit Corp. and A.I. Credit Consumer Discount Company ("the seller"), subsidiaries of American International Group, Inc. In doing so, FIFC acquired one of the largest life insurance premium finance portfolios in the industry, as well as certain other assets related to the life insurance premium finance business and assumed certain related liabilities. An aggregate unpaid principal balance of $1.0 billion was purchased for $745.9 million in cash.
In connection with the purchase of the life insurance premium finance business, the Company recognized a $10.9 million gain in the first quarter of 2010, a $43.0 million gain in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a $113.1 million gain in the third quarter of 2009. As of March 31, 2010, the full amount of bargain purchase gain was recognized into income. The following table presents a summary of the discount components for the life insurance premium finance portfolio purchase as of December 31, 2010 and shows the changes in the balances from December 31, 2009:

On April 20, 2009, Wintrust Capital Management (formerly known as Wayne Hummer Asset Management Company) completed its purchase and assumption of certain assets and liabilities of Advanced Investment Partners, LLC ("AIP"). AIP is an investment management firm specializing in the active management of domestic equity investment strategies. The impact related to the AIP transaction is included in Wintrust's consolidated financial results only since the effective date of acquisition.
Securitization
Sale of Loans
On September 11, 2009, Wintrust's indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, FIFC Premium Funding I, LLC (the "Issuer"), sold $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Series 2009-A Premium Finance Asset Backed Notes, Class A (the "Notes"). The Notes were issued in a securitization transaction sponsored by First Insurance Funding Corp.
The Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.45% and have an expected average term of 2.93 years; provided, however, that the entire unpaid balance of the Notes shall be due and payable in full on February 17, 2014. At the time of issuance, the Notes were eligible collateral under the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility ("TALF"). The Issuer's obligations under the Notes are secured by revolving loans made to buyers of property and casualty insurance policies to finance the related premiums payable by the buyers to the insurance companies for the policies. The premium finance loans will be transferred from time to time by FIFC to FIFC Funding I, LLC (the "Depositor") and by the Depositor to the Issuer.
Change in Accounting Treatment
During 2009, the securitization facility qualified for sales treatment. At December 31, 2009, approximately $594 million of commercial premium finance loans were held in the securitization facility and were not reflected on the Company's balance sheet. In accordance with newly applicable accounting guidance, and anticipated by the Company, effective January 1, 2010 the securitization facility was recorded on the balance sheet of the Company as a secured borrowing. As a result of this new guidance, the Company's balance sheet since January 1, 2010 reflects all loans outstanding in the securitization facility, the $600 million of secured borrowing notes issued to the securitization investors and cash in the securitization facility.
Capital
On December 22, 2010, the Company repurchased all 250,000 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the "Preferred Stock"), which it issued to the U.S. Department of Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The Preferred Stock was repurchased at a price of $251.3 million, which included accrued and unpaid dividends of $1.3 million. The repurchase of the Preferred Stock resulted in a non-cash charge that reduced net income applicable to common shares in the fourth quarter of 2010 by approximately $11.4 million. This amount represents the difference between the repurchase price and the carrying amount of the Preferred Stock, or the accelerated accretion of the applicable discount on the preferred shares.
In December 2010, the Company sold 3.66 million shares of common stock at $30.00 per share in a public offering. The Company received net proceeds of $104.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. At the same time the Company sold 4.6 million 7.50% tangible equity units ("TEU") at a public offering price of $50.00 per unit. The Company received net proceeds of $222.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. In total, the Company received net proceeds of $327.5 million from the December offerings.
In March 2010, the Company sold 6.67 million shares of common stock at $33.25 per share in a public offering. The Company received net proceeds of $210.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company's estimated capital ratios were 13.9% for total risk-based capital, 12.6% for tier 1 risk-based capital and 10.6% for leverage, well above the well capitalized guidelines. Additionally, the Company's tangible common equity ratio was 8.0% at December 31, 2010.
Financial Performance Overview – Fourth Quarter of 2010
For the fourth quarter of 2010, net interest income totaled $112.7 million, an increase of $25.7 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 and an increase of $9.7 million as compared to the third quarter of 2010. Average earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased by $1.8 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Average earning asset growth over the past 12 months was primarily a result of the $1.2 billion increase in average loans and $274.8 million increase in average liquidity management assets. Growth in the life insurance premium finance portfolio and a change in accounting for the commercial premium finance securitization facility accounted for $844 million of the total average loan growth over the past 12 months, while the three FDIC-assisted acquisitions accounted for $338 million of average covered loan growth. The average earning asset growth of $1.8 billion over the past 12 months was funded by a $473 million increase in the average balances of savings, NOW, MMA and Wealth Management deposits, an increase in the average balance of net free funds of $384 million, an increase in the average balance of retail certificates of deposit of $273 million, an increase of $600 million due to the secured borrowing notes to the securitization investors and an increase in the average balance of brokered certificates of deposit and other wholesale borrowings of $60 million.
The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 3.46%, compared to 3.10% in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 3.22% in the third quarter of 2010. The 24 basis point increase in net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2010 was primarily caused by an additional $6.2 million increase in the accretion on the purchased life insurance portfolio resulting from increased prepayments in the fourth quarter (increased net interest margin by 19 basis points), lower costs for interest-bearing deposits (increased net interest margin by 12 basis points), lower yields on loans (reduced net interest margin by five basis points), lower yields on liquidity management assets (reduced net interest margin by one basis point), and a lower contribution from net free funds (decreased net interest margin by one basis point).
Non-interest income totaled $44.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, decreasing $40.6 million, or 48%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 and decreasing $10.2 million, or 19%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. Mortgage banking revenue increased $6.2 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 as loans originated and sold to the secondary market were $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $953 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2010 (see "Non-Interest Income" section later in this document for further detail). Also, net gains on available-for-sale securities decreased $483,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year quarter and decreased $9.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily related to the sale during the earlier period of certain collateralized mortgage obligations. Early in July 2010, we liquidated approximately $160 million of collateralized mortgage obligations, recognizing a $7.7 million gain on available-for-sale securities in the third quarter of 2010. Trading income decreased by $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 primarily due to the realization in the prior year of larger market value increases on certain collateralized mortgage obligations held in trading.
Non-interest expense totaled $106.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, increasing $15.9 million, or 18%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 and increasing $6.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2010. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to an $11.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to a $6.3 million increase in bonus and commissions as variable pay based revenue increased (primarily in our mortgage banking and wealth management businesses), a $3.5 million increase in salaries caused by the additional employees from the three FDIC-assisted transactions and larger staffing related to Company growth, and a $1.3 million increase from employee benefits (primarily related to health plans and payroll taxes). Additionally, OREO related expenses increased $2.1 million and professional fees increased $1.2 million, primarily related to increased legal costs related to non-performing assets and recent bank acquisitions.
Financial Performance Overview – Full Year 2010
The net interest margin for 2010 was 3.37%, compared to 3.01% in 2009. The increase in the net interest margin in 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily caused by lower costs for interest-bearing deposits (increased net interest margin by 58 basis points), an additional $24.4 million of accretion on the purchased life insurance portfolio as more prepayments occurred throughout 2010 (increased net interest margin by 23 basis points) and lower costs for wholesale funding (increased net interest margin by 10 basis points), offset by higher balances and lower yields on liquidity management assets, including the negative impact of selling certain collateralized mortgage obligations, (reduced net interest margin by 33 basis points), lower yields on loans (reduced net interest margin by 17 basis points) and lower contribution from net free funds (reduced net interest margin by five basis points). Average earning assets for 2010 increased by $2.0 billion compared to 2009. Average earning asset growth for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily a result of the $1.1 billion increase in average loans, a $567 million increase in liquidity management assets and $232 million of covered loans. The acquisition of a life insurance premium finance portfolio and subsequent growth in this product accounted for $819 million of the total average loan growth for 2010 compared to 2009. The average earning asset growth of $2.0 billion was funded by a $653 million increase in the average balances of savings, NOW, MMA and Wealth Management deposits, an increase in the average balance of net free funds of $422 million, an increase in the average balance of retail certificates of deposit of $284 million, and an increase of $600 million due to the secured borrowing notes to the securitization investors.
Non-interest income totaled $192.2 million in 2010, decreasing $125.5 million, or 40%, compared to 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the inclusion of the $156.0 million of bargain purchase gains recorded during 2009 relating to life insurance premium finance loan acquisition in 2009. In comparison, during 2010, the Company recorded bargain purchase gains of $44.2 million as described earlier under "Acquisitions." Wealth management revenue contributed an $8.6 million increase in non-interest income as improvements in the equity markets overall has led to a 30% increase in wealth management revenue during 2010 compared to 2009. Mortgage banking revenue decreased $7.1 million when compared to 2009. Expenses recognized for the estimated liability associated with mortgage loans previously sold with recourse to the secondary market were higher in the current year due to increased repurchase demands from investors. The Company recognized $11.0 million of recourse obligation expense in 2010 compared to $900,000 in 2009. Also, net gains on available-for-sale securities increased $10.1 million in the current year, primarily related to the sale of certain collateralized mortgage obligations. Trading gains decreased by $21.6 million in the current year primarily due to realizing larger market value increases in the prior year on certain collateralized mortgage obligations held in trading, that were sold in July 2010.
Non-interest expense totaled $382.5 million in 2010, increasing $38.4 million, or 11%, compared to 2009. The increase compared to 2009 was primarily attributable to a $28.9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to a $12.6 million increase in bonus and commissions as variable pay based revenue increased (primarily in our mortgage banking and wealth management businesses), a $11.4 million increase in salaries caused by the additional employees from the three FDIC-assisted transactions and larger staffing as the Company grows, and a $4.9 million increase from employee benefits (primarily related to health plan and payroll taxes). Additionally, professional fees increased $3.0 million primarily related to increased legal costs related to non-performing assets and recent bank acquisitions, and miscellaneous expenses increased $4.0 million. Data processing expense increased $2.4 million as a result of higher volumes and conversion related expenses associated with FDIC-assisted transactions. These increases were partially offset by a $3.2 million reduction in FDIC insurance expenses as the FDIC imposed an industry-wide special assessment on financial institutions in the prior year second quarter.
Financial Performance Overview – Credit Quality
Non-performing loans, excluding covered loans, totaled $141.8 million, or 1.48% of total loans, at December 31, 2010, compared to $134.3 million, or 1.42% of total loans, at September 30, 2010 and $131.8 million, or 1.57% of total loans, at December 31, 2009. OREO, excluding covered OREO, of $71.2 million at December 31, 2010 decreased $5.5 million compared to $76.7 million at September 30, 2010 and decreased $9.0 million compared to $80.2 million at December 31, 2009.
Since the latter half of 2009, management has focused on significantly lowering the Company's level of non-performing loans. This was accomplished through a focus on gaining control or obtaining possession of collateral from borrowers whose loans were in non-accrual status. Progress towards this goal enabled a number of these properties to be transferred to OREO. The properties the Company obtains via foreclosure or via deed in lieu of foreclosure are aggressively marketed for sale. Additionally, beginning in the third quarter of 2009, management has worked with certain borrowers to restructure current loans. These actions help these borrowers maintain their homes or businesses and keep these loans in an accruing status for the Company. As of December 31, 2010, a total of $101.2 million of outstanding loan balances qualified as restructured loans, with $81.1 million of these modified loans in an accruing status.
The provision for credit losses totaled $28.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $25.5 million for the third quarter of 2010 and $38.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Net charge-offs as a percentage of loans, excluding covered loans, for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled 96 basis points on an annualized basis compared to 161 basis points on an annualized basis in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 89 basis points on an annualized basis in the third quarter of 2010. In the second quarter of 2010, a fraud perpetrated against a number of premium finance companies in the industry, including the property and casualty division of our premium financing subsidiary, increased both our net charge-offs and our provision for loan losses by $15.7 million.
The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2010 totaled $118.0 million, or 1.23% of total loans, excluding covered loans, compared to $112.8 million, or 1.19% of total loans, at September 30, 2010 and $101.8 million, or 1.21% of total loans, at December 31, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL MEASURES/RATIOS
The accounting and reporting policies of Wintrust conform to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company's performance. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components), net interest margin (including its individual components), the efficiency ratio, tangible common equity and core pre-tax earnings. Management believes that these measures and ratios provide users of the Company's financial information a more meaningful view of the performance of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and of the Company's operating efficiency. Other financial holding companies may define or calculate these measures and ratios differently.
Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company and its banking subsidiaries on a fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. Net interest income on a FTE basis is also used in the calculation of the Company's efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by total taxable-equivalent net revenue (less securities gains or losses), measures how much it costs to produce one dollar of revenue. Securities gains or losses are excluded from this calculation to better match revenue from daily operations to operational expenses. Core pre-tax earnings is adjusted to exclude the provision for credit losses and certain significant items.
A reconciliation of certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios used by the Company to evaluate and measure the Company's performance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is shown below:

The higher level of net interest income recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to a $1.2 billion increase in the average balance of loans and $338 million of FDIC covered loans. The bulk of this growth was funded by an $822 million increase in interest-bearing deposits, the $600 million securitization funding and a $384 million increase in net free funds (of which $261 million was non-interest bearing deposits).
The net interest margin increased 36 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. The yield on total average earnings assets declined by 15 basis points as the loss of yield on liquidity management assets more than offset the slightly higher yield on loans. The net interest margin improvement can primarily be attributed to a 60 basis point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, leading to a 55 basis point reduction in the total cost of average interest-bearing liabilities.

The increase in net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2010 was primarily caused by an additional $6.2 million of accretion on the purchased life insurance portfolio resulting from increased prepayments in the fourth quarter (increased net interest margin by 19 basis points), lower costs for interest-bearing deposits (increased net interest margin by 12 basis points), lower yields on loans (reduced net interest margin by four basis points), lower yields on liquidity management assets (reduced net interest margin by one basis point), and a lower contribution from net free funds (decreased net interest margin by one basis point).

| (5) Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield earned on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. | ||||||
| (6) Net free funds are the difference between total average earning assets and total average interest-bearing liabilities. The estimated contribution to net interest margin from net free funds is calculated using the rate paid for total interest-bearing liabilities. | ||||||

The net interest margin for 2010 was 3.37%, compared to 3.01% in 2009. The increase in the net interest margin in 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily caused by an additional $24.4 million of accretion on the purchased life insurance portfolio as more prepayments occurred throughout 2010 (increased net interest margin by 23 basis points), lower costs for interest-bearing deposits (increased net interest margin by 58 basis points), and lower costs for wholesale funding (increased net interest margin by 10 basis points), offset by higher balances and lower yields on liquidity management assets, including the negative impact of selling certain collateralized mortgage obligations, (reduced net interest margin by 33 basis points), lower yields on loans (reduced net interest margin by 17 basis points) and lower contribution from net free funds (reduced net interest margin by five basis points).
NON-INTEREST INCOME
For the fourth quarter of 2010, non-interest income totaled $44.5 million, a decrease of $40.6 million, or 48%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the bargain purchase gain related to income attributable to the life insurance premium finance loan acquisition in 2009, the lack of gains recognized in 2010 on loans moved into the premium finance securitizations as compared to $4.4 million of such gains in the prior period, and lower trading gains, partially offset by increases in both mortgage banking revenue and wealth management revenue.

Wealth management revenue is comprised of the trust and asset management revenue of The Chicago Trust Company and the asset management fees, brokerage commissions, trading commissions and insurance product commissions at Wayne Hummer Investments and Wintrust Capital Management. Wealth management revenue totaled $10.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 26%. Increased asset valuations due to equity market improvements have helped revenue growth from trust and asset management activities. Additionally, the improvement in the equity markets overall have led to the increase of the brokerage component of wealth management revenue as customer trading activity has increased.
Mortgage banking revenue includes revenue from activities related to originating, selling and servicing residential real estate loans for the secondary market. For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, this revenue source totaled $22.7 million, an increase of $6.2 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Mortgages originated and sold totaled $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2010 and $953 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in mortgage banking revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 resulted primarily from an increase in gains on sales of loans, which was driven by higher origination volumes and better pricing realized as a result of the Company utilizing mandatory execution of forward commitments with investors in 2010. The increase in gains on sales was partially offset by an increase in loss indemnification claims by purchasers of the Company's loans. The Company enters into residential mortgage loan sale agreements with investors in the normal course of business. These agreements provide recourse to investors through certain representations concerning credit information, loan documentation, collateral and insurability. Investors request the Company to indemnify them against losses on certain loans or to repurchase loans which the investors believe do not comply with applicable representations. An increase in requests for loss indemnification can negatively impact mortgage banking revenue as additional recourse expense. The Company recognized $1.4 million of expense in the fourth quarter of 2010, a decrease of $68,000 compared to the third quarter of 2010, and has recognized $11.0 million of expense in 2010. This liability for loans expected to be repurchased is based on trends in repurchase and indemnification requests, actual loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loans that have been sold, and current economic conditions.

As a result of the new accounting requirements beginning January 1, 2010 that now require loans sold and transferred into the securitization facility be accounted for as secured borrowings with the securitization investors, the Company no longer recognizes gains on sales of premium finance receivables (see "Securitization - Sale of Loans")
The Company recognized $159,000 of net gains on available-for-sale securities in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to net gains of $642,000 in the prior year quarter. The net gains in the full year of 2010 were primarily related to the sale of certain collateralized mortgage obligations in the third quarter.
The gain on bargain purchase of $250,000 recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010 relates to final valuation adjustments on the FDIC-assisted bank acquisition of Ravenswood. The gain on bargain purchase of $43.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 is related to the life insurance premium finance loan acquisition. See "Acquisitions" for a discussion of these transactions.
Trading gains of $611,000 were recognized by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to gains of $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Lower trading gains in 2010 resulted primarily from realizing larger market value increases in the prior year on certain collateralized mortgage obligations held in trading which were sold in July 2010.
Other non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $7.3 million, compared to $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Fees from certain covered call option transactions increased by $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Historically, compression in the net interest margin was effectively offset, as has consistently been the case, by the Company's covered call strategy. An illustration of the past effectiveness of this strategy is shown in the Supplemental Financial Information section (see page titled "Net Interest Margin (Including Call Option Income)").
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $106.2 million and increased approximately $15.9 million, or 18%, compared to the fourth quarter 2009.

Salaries and employee benefits comprised 56% of total non-interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 53% in the fourth quarter of 2009. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $11.1 million, or 23%, in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 primarily as a result of a $6.3 million increase in bonus and commissions as variable pay based revenue increased (primarily our mortgage banking and wealth management businesses), a $3.5 million increase in salaries caused by the additional employees from the three FDIC-assisted transactions and larger staffing as the Company grows and a $1.3 million increase from employee benefits (primarily health plan and payroll taxes related).
Professional fees include legal, audit and tax fees, external loan review costs and normal regulatory exam assessments. Professional fees for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $4.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 34%, compared to the same period in 2009. These increases are primarily a result of increased legal costs related to non-performing assets and recent bank acquisitions.
FDIC insurance expense was $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, a decrease of $159,000 compared to $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease in FDIC insurance expense was a result of an industry-wide special assessment on financial institutions in 2009.
OREO expenses include all costs related to obtaining, maintaining and selling of other real estate owned properties. This expense totaled $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of $2.1 million compared to $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in OREO expenses primarily related to higher valuation adjustments of properties held in OREO in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to fourth quarter of 2009.

The allowance for credit losses is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded lending-related commitments. The allowance for loan losses is a reserve against loan amounts that are actually funded and outstanding while the allowance for unfunded lending-related commitments relates to certain amounts that Wintrust is committed to lend but for which funds have not yet been disbursed. The allowance for unfunded lending-related commitments (separate liability account) represents the portion of the provision for credit losses that was associated with unfunded lending-related commitments. The provision for credit losses may contain both a component related to funded loans (provision for loan losses) and a component related to lending-related commitments (provision for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit). Total credit-related reserves also include the credit discounts on the purchased life insurance premium finance receivables which are netted with the loan balance. Additionally, on January 1, 2010, in conjunction with recording the securitization facility on its balance sheet, the Company established an allowance for loan losses totaling $1.9 million. This addition to the allowance for loan losses is shown as an "other adjustment to the allowance for loan losses". As of December 31, 2010, there was no allowance for loan losses for covered loans.
The provision for credit losses totaled $28.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, $25.5 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, net charge-offs, excluding covered loans, totaled $23.5 million compared to $21.4 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $34.9 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009. In the second quarter of 2010, a fraud perpetrated against a number of premium finance companies in the industry, including the property and casualty division of our premium financing subsidiary, increased both our net charge-offs and our provision for loan losses by $15.7 million. On a ratio basis, annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans, excluding covered loans, were 0.96% in the fourth quarter of 2010, 0.89% in the third quarter of 2010, and 1.61% in the fourth quarter of 2009. Beginning in the third quarter of 2009, the Company committed to resolving problem credits as quickly as possible. Actions taken during this time increased OREO, net charge-offs and the provision for loan losses expenses required to maintain an appropriate level of reserves. The fourth quarter of 2010 amounts recorded for both net charge-offs and provision for credit losses reflect a continuation of the Company's commitment to maintain a low level of non-performing assets.
Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate to provide for inherent losses in the portfolio. There can be no assurances however, that future losses will not exceed the amounts provided for, thereby affecting future results of operations. The amount of future additions to the allowance for credit losses will be dependent upon management's assessment of the appropriateness of the allowance based on its evaluation of economic conditions, changes in real estate values, interest rates, the regulatory environment, the level of past-due and non-performing loans, and other factors. The increase in the allowance for credit losses from the end of the prior quarter reflects the continued changes in real estate values on certain types of credits, specifically credits with residential development collateral valuation exposure.

As of December 31, 2010, $46.1 million of all loans, excluding covered loans, or 0.5%, were 60 to 89 days past due and $91.9 million, or 1.0%, were 30 to 59 days (or one payment) past due. As of September 30, 2010, $64.8 million of all loans, excluding covered loans, or 0.7%, were 60 to 89 days past due and $85.1 million, or 0.9%, were 30 to 59 days (or one payment) past due. The majority of the commercial and commercial real estate loans shown as 60 to 89 days and 30 to 59 days past due are included on the Company's internal problem loan reporting system. Loans on this system are closely monitored by management on a monthly basis.
The Company's home equity and residential loan portfolios continue to exhibit low delinquency ratios. Home equity loans at December 31, 2010 that are current with regard to the contractual terms of the loan agreement represent 98.2% of the total home equity portfolio. Residential real estate loans at December 31, 2010 that are current with regards to the contractual terms of the loan agreements comprise 95.5% of total residential real estate loans outstanding.

The ratio of non-performing commercial premium finance receivables fluctuates throughout the year due to the nature and timing of canceled account collections from insurance carriers. Due to the nature of collateral for commercial premium finance receivables, it customarily takes 60-150 days to convert the collateral into cash. Accordingly, the level of non-performing commercial premium finance receivables is not necessarily indicative of the loss inherent in the portfolio. In the event of default, Wintrust has the power to cancel the insurance policy and collect the unearned portion of the premium from the insurance carrier. In the event of cancellation, the cash returned in payment of the unearned premium by the insurer should generally be sufficient to cover the receivable balance, the interest and other charges due. Due to notification requirements and processing time by most insurance carriers, many receivables will become delinquent beyond 90 days while the insurer is processing the return of the unearned premium. Management continues to accrue interest until maturity as the unearned premium is ordinarily sufficient to pay-off the outstanding balance and contractual interest due.

Non-performing Commercial and Commercial Real Estate
The commercial non-performing loan category totaled $16.9 million as of December 31, 2010 compared to $19.4 million as of September 30, 2010 and $17.1 million as of December 31, 2009. The commercial real estate non-performing loan category totaled $94.0 million as of December 31, 2010 compared to $83.3 million as of September 30, 2010 and $80.6 million as of December 31, 2009.
Management is pursuing the resolution of all credits in this category. At this time,management believes reserves are appropriate to absorb inherent losses that are expected to occur upon the ultimate resolution of these credits.
Non-performing Residential Real Estate and Home Equity
Non-performing home equity and residential real estate loans totaled $13.5 million as of December 31, 2010. The balance increased $436,000 from December 31, 2009 and $722,000 from September 30, 2010. The December 31, 2010 non-performing balance is comprised of $6.1 million of residential real estate (22 individual credits) and $7.4 million of home equity loans (26 individual credits). On average, this is approximately three non-performing residential real estate loans and home equity loans per chartered bank within the Company. The Company believes control and collection of these loans is very manageable. At this time, management believes reserves are adequate to absorb inherent losses that may occur upon the ultimate resolution of these credits.
Non-performing Commercial Premium Finance Receivables
The table below presents the level of non-performing property and casualty premium finance receivables as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the amount of net charge-offs for the quarters then ended.
| December 31, | December 31, | |
| (Dollars in thousands) | 2010 | 2009 |
| Non-performing premium finance receivables - commercial | $ 16,683 | $ 18,149 |
| - as a percent of premium finance receivables - commercial outstanding | 1.32% | 2.49% |
| Net charge-offs of premium finance receivables - commercial | $ 1,676 | $ 2,338 |
| - annualized as a percent of average premium finance receivables - commercial | 0.54% | 1.38% |
Fluctuations in this category may occur due to timing and nature of account collections from insurance carriers. The Company's underwriting standards, regardless of the condition of the economy, have remained consistent. We anticipate that net charge-offs and non-performing asset levels in the near term will continue to be at levels that are within acceptable operating ranges for this category of loans. Management is comfortable with administering the collections at this level of non-performing property and casualty premium finance receivables and believes reserves are adequate to absorb inherent losses that may occur upon the ultimate resolution of these credits.

| (1) Included in total non-performing loans. | |||
At December 31, 2010, the Company had $101.2 million in loans with modified terms. The $101.2 million in modified loans represents 129 credit relationships in which economic concessions were granted to certain borrowers to better align the terms of their loans with their current ability to pay. These actions were taken on a case-by-case basis working with these borrowers to find a concession that would assist them in retaining their businesses or their homes and attempt to keep these loans in an accruing status for the Company.
Subsequent to its restructuring, any restructured loan with a below market rate concession will remain classified by the Company as a restructured loan for its duration. Each restructured loan was reviewed for collateral impairment at December 31, 2010 and approximately $11.3 million of collateral impairment was present and appropriately reserved for through the Company's normal reserving methodology in the Company's allowance for loan losses.

Actual results could differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including the following:
- negative economic conditions that adversely affect the economy, housing prices, the job market and other factors that may affect the Company's liquidity and the performance of its loan portfolios, particularly in the markets in which it operates;
- the extent of defaults and losses on the Company's loan portfolio, which may require further increases in its allowance for credit losses;
- estimates of fair value of certain of the Company's assets and liabilities, which could change in value significantly from period to period;
- changes in the level and volatility of interest rates, the capital markets and other market indices that may affect, among other things, the Company's liquidity and the value of its assets and liabilities;
- a decrease in the Company's regulatory capital ratios, including as a result of further declines in the value of its loan portfolios, or otherwise;
- effects resulting from the Company's prior participation in the Capital Purchase Program;
- increased costs of compliance, heightened regulatory capital requirements and other risks associated with changes in regulation and the current regulatory environment, including the requirements of the Basel II and III capital regimes and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;
- legislative or regulatory changes, particularly changes in regulation of financial services companies and/or the products and services offered by financial services companies;
- increases in the Company's FDIC insurance premiums, or the collection of special assessments by the FDIC;
- competitive pressures in the financial services business which may affect the pricing of the Company's loan and deposit products as well as its services (including wealth management services);
- delinquencies or fraud with respect to the Company's premium finance business;
- the Company's ability to comply with covenants under its securitization facility and credit facility;
- credit downgrades among commercial and life insurance providers that could negatively affect the value of collateral securing the Company's premium finance loans;
- any negative perception of the Company's reputation or financial strength;
- the loss of customers as a result of technological changes allowing consumers to complete their financial transactions without the use of a bank;
- the ability of the Company to attract and retain senior management experienced in the banking and financial services industries;
- failure to identify and complete favorable acquisitions in the future, or unexpected difficulties or developments related to the integration of recent or future acquisitions, including with respect to any FDIC-assisted acquisitions;
- unexpected difficulties or unanticipated developments related to the Company's strategy of de novo bank formations and openings, which typically require over 13 months of operations before becoming profitable due to the impact of organizational and overhead expenses, the startup phase of generating deposits and the time lag typically involved in redeploying deposits into attractively priced loans and other higher yielding earning assets;
- changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations and the impact on the Corporation's financial statements;
- significant litigation involving the Company; and
- the ability of the Company to receive dividends from its subsidiaries.
Therefore, there can be no assurances that future actual results will correspond to these forward-looking statements.
