EXHIBIT 99.1

Midland States Bancorp, Inc. Announces 2018 Fourth Quarter Results

Highlights

EFFINGHAM, Ill., Jan. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midland States Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSBI) (the “Company”) today reported net income of $16.3 million, or $0.67 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2018.  This compares to net income of $8.5 million, or $0.35 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2018, which included $9.6 million of integration and acquisition expenses, and net income of $2.0 million, or $0.10 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2017, which included $2.7 million in integration and acquisition expenses and $4.5 million in tax expense related to the revaluation of the Company’s net deferred tax assets as a result of the decrease in the federal corporate tax rate.

“Having successfully completed the integration of Alpine Bancorporation, we are delivering on the higher level of earnings and profitability that we projected from this transaction,” said Jeffrey G. Ludwig, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  “We finished 2018 with positive trends in many areas including strong production from our commercial and consumer lending businesses, continued growth in our wealth management revenue, and an expansion in our net interest margin, excluding accretion income.  We are also very pleased with our strong capital generation, as our tangible book value per share increased nearly 4% in the fourth quarter, and we saw significant increases in all of our capital ratios.”

Factors Affecting Comparability

The Company acquired Alpine Bancorporation, Inc. (“Alpine”) in February 2018. The financial position and results of operations of Alpine prior to its acquisition date are not included in the Company’s financial results.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $48.5 million, an increase of 7.7% from $45.1 million for the third quarter of 2018.  Excluding accretion income, net interest income increased $0.9 million, which is a 7.9% annualized increase from prior quarter.  Accretion income associated with purchased loan portfolios totaled $4.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2018. 

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2017, net interest income increased $12.5 million, or 34.7%.  Accretion income for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $2.7 million.  The increase in net interest income resulted from an $18.1 million increase in interest income on interest-earning assets, offset in part by a $5.6 million increase in interest expense.  These increases were due to the impact of the acquisition of Alpine, as well as organic growth.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 3.85%, compared to 3.59% for the third quarter of 2018.  The Company’s net interest margin benefits from accretion income on purchased loan portfolios, which contributed 31 and 10 basis points to net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2018 and third quarter of 2018, respectively.  Excluding the impact of accretion income, net interest margin increased five basis points from the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to the impact of higher average loan yields.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2017, net interest margin increased from 3.73%.  Accretion income on purchased loan portfolios contributed 26 basis points to net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2017.  Excluding the impact of accretion income, net interest margin increased seven basis points from the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to the impact of higher average loan yields. 

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $21.2 million, an increase of 15.9% from $18.3 million for the third quarter of 2018.  The increase was primarily attributable to higher commercial FHA revenue, community banking fees, net gain on sales of investment securities, and other income. 

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2017, noninterest income increased 51.2% from $14.0 million.  The increase was attributable to growth in all fee generating areas, partially due to the impact of the acquisition of Alpine, with the exception of residential mortgage banking revenue.

Wealth management revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $5.7 million, an increase of 3.4% from $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2018.  Compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, wealth management revenue increased 57.5%, which was primarily attributable to the addition of Alpine’s wealth management business.

Commercial FHA revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $4.2 million, compared to $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2018.  Commercial FHA revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 included a $1.4 million recapture of mortgage servicing rights impairment.  The Company originated $62.3 million in rate lock commitments during the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $82.8 million in the prior quarter.  Compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, commercial FHA revenue increased 34.1%.

Other income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $3.9 million, compared to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2018.  The increase was primarily attributable to a gain on proceeds from our bank-owned life insurance program. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, other income increased 65.2%.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $45.4 million, which included $0.6 million in integration and acquisition expenses, compared with $50.3 million for the third quarter of 2018, which included $9.6 million in integration and acquisition expenses and $0.3 million in loss on mortgage servicing rights held for sale.  Excluding integration and acquisition expenses and loss on mortgage servicing rights held for sale, noninterest expense increased $4.3 million, or 10.7%, from the prior quarter.  The increase was primarily due to higher variable compensation and higher professional fees.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2017, noninterest expense increased 25.4% from $36.2 million.  Excluding integration and acquisition expenses and loss on mortgage servicing rights held for sale, noninterest expense increased 35.6% from $33.1 million.  The increase was primarily due to the addition of personnel and facilities from Alpine. 

Loan Portfolio

Total loans outstanding were $4.14 billion at December 31, 2018, compared with $4.16 billion at September 30, 2018 and $3.23 billion at December 31, 2017.  The decrease in total loans from September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to a decline in the commercial real estate portfolio, which was partially offset by organic growth in commercial loans and leases, and consumer lending.  Equipment financing balances increased $64.7 million from September 30, 2018, which are booked within the commercial loans and leases portfolio.  The increase in total loans from December 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to the addition of Alpine’s loans.

Deposits

Total deposits were $4.07 billion at December 31, 2018, compared with $4.14 billion at September 30, 2018, and $3.13 billion at December 31, 2017.  The decrease in total deposits from September 30, 2018 was primarily related to outflows of public funds and the runoff of brokered deposits.  The increase in total deposits from December 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to the addition of Alpine’s deposits.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans totaled $42.9 million, or 1.04% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, compared with $38.6 million, or 0.93% of total loans, at September 30, 2018, and $26.8 million, or 0.83% of total loans, at December 31, 2017. The increase in nonperforming loans during the fourth quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to the downgrade of three commercial real estate loans.

Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $2.2 million, or 0.21% of average loans on an annualized basis. 

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.  The Company’s allowance for loan losses was 0.51% of total loans and 48.7% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2018, compared with 0.47% of total loans and 50.9% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2018.  Fair market value discounts recorded in connection with acquired loan portfolios represented 0.53% of total loans at December 31, 2018, compared with 0.59% of total loans at September 30, 2018.

Capital

At December 31, 2018, the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under Basel III and was considered to be a ‘‘well-capitalized’’ financial institution, as summarized in the following table:

2 Forward - Looking Statements. This presentation may contain forward - looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward - looking statements express management’s current expectations, forecasts of future events or long - term goals, and may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of Midland’s management, are generally identifiable by the us e of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should” o r o ther similar expressions. All statements in this presentation speak only as of the date they are made, and Midland undertakes no obligation to update any statement. A number of factors, many of which are beyond the ability of Midland to control or predic t, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in its forward - looking statements. These risks and uncertainties sho uld be considered in evaluating forward - looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning Midland and its respective businesses, including additional factors that could materially affect Midla nd’ s financial results, are included in Midland’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures. This presentation may contain certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non - GAAP financial measure s include “Adjusted Earnings,” “Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share,” “Adjusted Return on Average Assets,” “Adjusted Return on Average Shareholders’ Equity,” “Adjusted Return on Average Tangible Common Equity,” “Efficiency Ratio,” “Tangible Common Equ ity to Tangible Assets,” “Tangible Book Value Per Share” and “Return on Average Tangible Common Equity.” The Company believes tha t these non - GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s funding profile and profitability. These non - GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore this presentation m ay not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non - GAAP measures are provided in the Appendix section of this presentation.
