Edward J. Wehmer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Wintrust reported record annual net income in 2014. The Company grew significantly in 2014 as total assets increased by 11% during the year, eclipsing $20 billion. Growth in 2014 primarily resulted from leveraging our consistently strong loan pipeline to grow internally. The fourth quarter of 2014 was highlighted by continued loan and deposit growth, improvement in credit quality metrics, relatively stable net interest margin and increased wealth management revenues."
Mr. Wehmer continued, "The Company grew total loans, excluding covered loans and mortgage loans held-for-sale, by $357 million in the fourth quarter, primarily from growth in our commercial and life insurance premium finance portfolios. Strong loan growth near the end of the quarter contributed to a larger increase in period-end balances in the fourth quarter of 2014 when compared to the change in average loan balances. Deposits increased by $217 million largely due to growth in non-interest bearing accounts which now comprise 22% of the Company's total deposits."
Commenting on credit quality, Mr. Wehmer noted, "The Company's commitment to timely addressing and resolving non-performing credits is evidenced by non-performing loans decreasing for the 5th quarter in a row to $78.7 million. Additionally, our allowance for loan losses coverage of non-performing loans increased. We continue to believe that the Company's reserves remain appropriate."
Mr. Wehmer further commented, "The wealth management business units continue their successful expansion, increasing revenue by 15% over the prior year quarter. Our mortgage banking business continued its positive momentum in the fourth quarter as mortgage banking revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 28% higher than the fourth quarter of 2013. We are pleased with our mortgage business performance as originations remained steady despite the seasonality headwind. Our mortgage pipeline remains strong and we expect to continue to pick up refinance business amidst the low interest rate environment. We believe that our mortgage banking business remains well positioned to grow both organically and through acquisitions."
Turning to the future, Mr. Wehmer stated, "2014 was a landmark year for expanding our visibility in the Chicago metropolitan and southern Wisconsin market areas. We now have 140 banking locations, adding 16 banking locations in 2014. Additionally, we are excited to move into the historic 231 S. LaSalle building in 2015. We will continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions and organic branch growth as part of our growth strategy with the goal of becoming Chicago's bank. Our pipelines for both internal growth and external growth remain consistently strong. We continue to take a steady and measured approach to achieve our main objectives of growing franchise value, increasing profitability, leveraging our expense infrastructure and increasing shareholder value."

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.

Financial Performance Overview – Fourth Quarter 2014
For the fourth quarter of 2014, net interest income totaled $153.7 million, an increase of $2.0 million as compared to the third quarter of 2014 and an increase of $11.4 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The changes in net interest income on both a sequential and linked quarter basis are the result of the following:
- Net interest income increased $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2014. This increase in net interest income was primarily a result of loan growth and an improvement in loan yields, partially offset by a decline in the yield on covered loans.
-
Net interest income increased $11.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, due to:
- Average loans, excluding covered loans, for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased by $1.4 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The growth in average loans, excluding covered loans, was partially offset by a 9 basis point decline in the yield on earning assets, resulting in an increase in total interest income of $12.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year quarter.
- An increase in interest bearing deposits and the issuance of subordinated notes at the end of the second quarter of 2014 was partially offset by a more favorable funding mix and a one basis point decline in the yield on average interest bearing liabilities which resulted in a $722,000 increase in interest expense.
- Combined, the increase in interest income of $12.1 million and the increase of interest expense of $722,000 created the $11.4 million increase in net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013.
The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 3.46% compared to 3.46% for the third quarter of 2014 and 3.53% for the fourth quarter of 2013. The reduction in net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 is primarily the result of a decline in loan yields within the non-covered and covered portfolios, partially offset by an improvement in the yield on liquidity management assets (see "Net Interest Income" section later in this release for further detail).
Non-interest income totaled $57.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, decreasing $295,000 compared to the third quarter of 2014 and increasing $11.3 million, or 24%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease in non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2014 is primarily attributable to a decrease in mortgage banking revenues, higher trading losses primarily related to the valuation of interest rate cap derivatives and a loss on the sale of a bank branch, partially offset by increased wealth management revenues and increased fees from covered call options. The increase in non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to higher mortgage banking revenues, increased wealth management revenues and increased fees from covered call options. Additionally, non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2013 included an other than temporary impairment charge (see "Non-Interest Income" section later in this release for further detail).
Non-interest expense totaled $143.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, increasing $4.9 million, or 4%, compared to the third quarter of 2014 and increasing $16.4 million, or 13%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The current quarter non-interest expense included certain nonrecurring expenses including a loss incurred upon entering into a sublease agreement on an existing property, higher employee benefit costs related to the Affordable Care Act and liabilities relating to pensions assumed through prior acquisitions. Additionally, non-interest expense increased in the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2014 due to higher valuation charges on other real estate owned. Non-interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2014 increased as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily due to an increase in commissions and incentive compensation (see "Non-Interest Expense" section later in this release for further detail).
Financial Performance Overview – Full Year 2014
Net interest income totaled $598.6 million for 2014, an increase of $47.9 million as compared to 2013. The increase in net interest income was due to:
- Average earning assets for 2014 increased by $1.2 billion compared to 2013. This was primarily comprised of average loan growth, excluding covered loans, of $1.2 billion and an increase of $204.2 million in the average balance of liquidity management assets, partially offset by a decrease of $181.6 million in the average balance of covered loans. The growth in average total loans, excluding covered loans, included an increase of $553.5 million in commercial loans, $291.5 million in commercial real estate loans, $230.0 million in commercial premium finance receivables, $224.9 million in life insurance premium finance receivables and $48.7 million in consumer other loans, partially offset by a decrease of $93.9 million in mortgage loans held-for-sale and $38.0 million in home equity loans.
- The average earning asset growth of $1.2 billion in 2014, partially offset by a five basis point decrease in yield on earning assets, resulted in an increase in total interest income of $40.6 million in 2014 compared to 2013.
- Funding mix improved as average interest bearing deposits increased $623.7 million, average demand deposits increased $574.6 million and average wholesale borrowings decreased $105.5 million in 2014 compared to 2013. The change in the funding mix resulted in a seven basis point decrease in the yield on average interest bearing liabilities which created a $7.3 million decrease in interest expense.
- Combined, the increase in interest income of $40.6 million and the reduction of interest expense by $7.3 million created the $47.9 million increase in net interest income in 2014 compared to 2013.
The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for 2014 was 3.53%, compared to 3.50% for 2013. The improvement is primarily the result of the reduction in yield on interest bearing liabilities noted above, partially offset by a reduction in yield on the non-covered loan portfolio (see "Net Interest Income" section later in this release for further detail).
Non-interest income totaled $215.2 million in 2014, decreasing $7.2 million, or 3%, compared to 2013. The decrease in non-interest income in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily attributable to a decrease in mortgage banking revenues, fees on interest rate swap transactions and higher trading losses, partially offset by higher wealth management revenues (see "Non-Interest Income" section later in this release for further detail).
Non-interest expense totaled $546.8 million in 2014, increasing $44.3 million compared to 2013. The increase compared to 2013 was primarily attributable to increases in commissions and incentive compensation, salary, occupancy, equipment and OREO expenses (see "Non-Interest Expense" section later in this release for further detail).
Financial Performance Overview – Credit Quality
The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.62% as of December 31, 2014, compared to 0.69% at September 30, 2014 and 0.85% at December 31, 2013. Non-performing assets, excluding covered assets, totaled $124.6 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $131.7 million at September 30, 2014 and $154.3 million at December 31, 2013.
Non-performing loans, excluding covered loans, totaled $78.7 million, or 0.55% of total loans, at December 31, 2014, compared to $81.1 million, or 0.58% of total loans, at September 30, 2014 and $103.3 million, or 0.80% of total loans, at December 31, 2013. The decrease in non-performing loans, excluding covered loans, compared to December 31, 2013 is primarily the result of a $20.3 million decrease in the commercial real-estate loan portfolio and a $3.9 million decrease in the home equity loan portfolio. OREO, excluding covered OREO, of $45.6 million at December 31, 2014 decreased $4.8 million compared to $50.4 million at September 30, 2014 and decreased $4.9 million compared to $50.5 million at December 31, 2013.
The provision for credit losses, excluding the provision for covered loan losses, totaled $6.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 and $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in the provision for credit losses in the current quarter compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily due to a reduction recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 to the provision associated with general reserves. This reduction was driven by improvement in historical charge-off rates and lower levels of non-performing and adversely classified loans at that time.
Net charge-offs as a percentage of loans, excluding covered loans, for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled 16 basis points on an annualized basis compared to 19 basis points on an annualized basis in the third quarter of 2014 and 44 basis points on an annualized basis in the fourth quarter of 2013. Net charge-offs totaled $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a $1.1 million decrease from $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 and an $8.6 million decrease from $14.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, net charge-offs decreased primarily as a result of a $4.9 million decrease in net charge-offs within the commercial loan portfolio, a $2.4 million decrease in net charge-offs within the commercial real-estate loan portfolio and a $1.3 million decrease in net charge-offs within the home equity loan portfolio.
Excluding the allowance for covered loan losses, the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2014 totaled $92.5 million, or 0.64% of total loans, compared to $91.8 million, or 0.65% of total loans at September 30, 2014 and $97.6 million, or 0.76% of total loans at December 31, 2013. The allowance for unfunded lending-related commitments totaled $775,000 compared to $822,000 as of September 30, 2014 and $719,000 as of December 31, 2013.

Potentially dilutive common shares can result from stock options, restricted stock unit awards, stock warrants, the Company's convertible preferred stock, tangible equity unit shares and shares to be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Directors Deferred Fee and Stock Plan, being treated as if they had been either exercised or issued, computed by application of the treasury stock method. While potentially dilutive common shares are typically included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from this computation in periods in which the effect would reduce the loss per share or increase the income per share. For diluted earnings per share, net income applicable to common shares can be affected by the conversion of the Company's convertible preferred stock. Where the effect of this conversion would reduce the loss per share or increase the income per share, net income applicable to common shares is not adjusted by the associated preferred dividends.

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 ratio, tangible common book value per share and return on average tangible common equity. 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. Management considers the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share as useful measurements of the Company's equity. The Company references the return on average tangible common equity as a measurement of profitability.
The following table presents 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 for the last 5 quarters:

Interest Rate Sensitivity
As an ongoing part of its financial strategy, the Company attempts to manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Management measures its exposure to changes in interest rates using many different interest rate scenarios.
The following interest rate scenarios display the percentage change in net interest income over a one-year time horizon assuming increases of 100 and 200 basis points and a decrease of 100 basis points. The Static Shock Scenario results incorporate actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for balance sheet instruments following an instantaneous, parallel change in market rates based upon a static (i.e. no growth or constant) balance sheet. Conversely, the Ramp Scenario results incorporate management's projections of future volume and pricing of each of the product lines following a gradual, parallel change in market rates over twelve months. Actual results likely will differ from these simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies. The interest rate sensitivity for both the Static Shock and Ramp Scenarios at December 31, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:
| Static Shock Scenarios |
+200 Basis Points |
+100 Basis Points |
-100 Basis Points |
| December 31, 2014 | 13.4% | 6.4% | (10.1)% |
| September 30, 2014 | 13.7% | 6.2% | (11.1)% |
| December 31, 2013 | 13.0% | 5.7% | (12.9)% |
| Ramp Scenarios |
+200 Basis Points |
+100 Basis Points |
-100 Basis Points |
| December 31, 2014 | 5.4% | 2.5% | (3.9)% |
| September 30, 2014 | 5.0% | 2.6% | (5.0)% |
| December 31, 2013 | 5.0% | 2.4% | (5.0)% |
These results indicate that the Company has positioned its balance sheet to benefit from a rise in interest rates. This analysis also indicates that the Company would benefit to a greater magnitude should a rise in interest rates be significant (i.e. 200 basis points) and immediate (Static Shock Scenario).

The significant changes in non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are discussed below.
Wealth management revenue totaled $18.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $17.7 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $16.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase as compared to the prior periods is mostly attributable to growth in assets from new customers and new financial advisors, as well as an increase in existing customer activity and market appreciation. Wealth management revenue is comprised of the trust and asset management revenue of The Chicago Trust Company and Great Lakes Advisors and the brokerage commissions, money managed fees and insurance product commissions at Wayne Hummer Investments.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, mortgage banking revenue totaled $24.7 million, a decrease of $2.0 million as compared to the third quarter of 2014 and an increase of $5.4 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. A main factor in the mortgage banking revenue recognized by the Company is the volume of mortgage loans originated or purchased for sale. Mortgage loans originated or purchased for sale were $838.3 million in the current quarter as compared to $904.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $742.3 million in the prior year quarter. Mortgage banking revenue includes revenue from activities related to originating, selling and servicing residential real estate loans for the secondary market.
Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $6.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a slight increase compared to the third quarter of 2014 and an increase of $959,000 compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in the current quarter as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 is primarily a result of higher account analysis fees on deposit accounts which have increased as a result of the Company's commercial banking initiative as well as additional service charges on deposit accounts from acquired institutions.
The Company recognized gains totaling $18,000 on available-for-sale securities for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to net losses of $153,000 for the third quarter of 2014 and $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The $3.3 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily related to an other than temporary impairment charge recorded on one security as a result of the Volcker Rule.
Fees from covered call option transactions totaled $3.0 million for the fourth quarter 2014, compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2014 and $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company has typically written call options with terms of less than three months against certain U.S. Treasury and agency securities held in its portfolio for liquidity and other purposes. Management has effectively entered into these transactions with the goal of economically hedging security positions and enhancing its overall return on its investment portfolio by using fees generated from these options to compensate for net interest margin compression. These option transactions are designed to increase the total return associated with holding certain investment securities and do not qualify as hedges pursuant to accounting guidance. Fees from covered call options increased in the current quarter primarily as a result of selling call options against a larger value of underlying securities resulting in higher premiums received by the Company. There were no outstanding call option contracts at December 31, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
The Company recognized $507,000 of trading losses in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to trading gains of $293,000 in the third quarter of 2014 and trading losses of $278,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013. Trading gains and losses recorded by the Company primarily result from fair value adjustments related to interest rate derivatives not designated as hedges, primarily interest rate cap instruments that the Company uses to manage interest rate risk, specifically in the event of future increases in short-term interest rates. The change in value of the cap derivatives reflects the present value of expected cash flows over the remaining life of the caps. These expected cash flows are derived from the expected path for and a measure of volatility for short-term interest rates.
Miscellaneous income totaled $2.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $339,000 compared to the third quarter of 2014 and a decrease of $1.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in the current quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2014 is primarily due to an increase in income from partnership investments partially offset by a loss related to a bank branch sale in the current quarter. The decrease in the current quarter from the fourth quarter of 2013 is primarily attributable to higher FDIC indemnification asset amortization as compared to the prior period, fewer interest rate swap transactions due to an unfavorable change in the rate environment, lower income from bank owned life insurance due to higher market returns on certain related assets during the fourth quarter of 2013 and a loss related to a bank branch sale.

The significant changes in non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are discussed below.
Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $13.6 million, or 18%, in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily due to a $10.4 million increase in commissions and incentive compensation primarily related the Company's long term incentive program, as well as a $1.4 million increase in salaries caused by the addition of employees from acquisitions and larger staffing as the Company grows. In addition, employee benefits expense increased in the current quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2014 and fourth quarter of 2013 in part due to approximately $700,000 of employee benefits costs related to the Affordable Care Act and pension liabilities recorded in the current quarter.
Occupancy expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $11.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 11% compared to the third quarter of 2014 and an increase of $1.6 million, or 16%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in the current quarter as compared to the previous periods is primarily the result of a loss incurred upon entering into a sublease agreement on an existing property in the current quarter. Occupancy expense includes depreciation on premises, real estate taxes, utilities and maintenance of premises, as well as net rent expense for leased premises.
Data processing expenses increased in the fourth quarter of 2014 totaling $5.3 million as compared to $4.8 million in both the third quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013. The amount of data processing expenses incurred increased compared to prior periods primarily due to additional expenses recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014 related to recent bank acquisition transactions.
OREO expense totaled $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of $351,000 compared to $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease in OREO expenses as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 is primarily related to higher gains recorded on covered OREO sales in the current quarter. OREO expense increased by $1.7 million in the current quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher OREO valuation charges in the current quarter. OREO costs include all costs related to obtaining, maintaining and selling other real estate owned properties.
Miscellaneous expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 were relatively unchanged as compared to the third quarter of 2014 and increased $880,000, or 7%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Miscellaneous expense includes ATM expenses, correspondent bank charges, directors' fees, telephone, travel and entertainment, corporate insurance, dues and subscriptions, problem loan expenses and lending origination costs that are not deferred.

The allowance for credit losses, excluding the allowance for covered loan 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 (separate liability account) relates to certain amounts that Wintrust is committed to lend but for which funds have not yet been disbursed. The provision for credit losses, excluding the provision for covered loan 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).
The provision for credit losses, excluding the provision for covered loan losses, totaled $6.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, as compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 and $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in the provision for credit losses in the current quarter compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily due to a reduction recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 to the provision associated with general reserves. This reduction was driven by improvement in historical charge-off rates and lower levels of non-performing and adversely classified loans at that time.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, net charge-offs, excluding covered loans, totaled $5.9 million, a $1.1 million decrease from $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 and an $8.6 million decrease from $14.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, net charge-offs decreased primarily as a result of a $4.9 million decrease in net charge-offs within the commercial loan portfolio, a $2.4 million decrease in net charge-offs within the commercial real-estate loan portfolio and a $1.3 million decrease in net charge-offs within the home equity loan portfolio. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans, excluding covered loans, were 0.16% in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 0.19% in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 0.44% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The allowance for unfunded lending-related commitments totaled $775,000 as of December 31, 2014 compared to $822,000 as of September 30, 2014 and $719,000 as of December 31, 2013.
The lower level of the allowance for credit losses in 2014, reflects the improvements in credit quality metrics compared to 2013. 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 Company also provides a provision for covered loan losses and maintains an allowance for covered loan losses. Please see "Covered Assets" later in this document for more detail.

As part of a quarterly review performed by Management to determine if the Company's allowance for loan losses is appropriate, an analysis is prepared on the loan portfolio based upon a breakout of core loans and consumer, niche and purchased loans. A summary of the allowance for loan losses calculated for the loan components in both the core loan portfolio and the consumer, niche and purchased loan portfolio was shown on the previous pages as of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses to core loans was 0.93% compared to 0.19% for consumer, niche and purchased loans and 0.64% for the entire loan portfolio as of December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the allowance for loan losses to core loans was 0.94% compared to 0.20% for consumer, niche and purchased loans and 0.65% for the entire loan portfolio.
The decrease in the allowance for loan losses to core loans in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2014 was attributable to a shift in the mix of core loans requiring ASC 450 reserves (general reserves) in the current quarter and a smaller population of core loans requiring ASC 310 reserves (specific reserves). Loans requiring ASC 450 reserves typically have lower reserve factors as compared to core loans requiring ASC 310 reserves. ASC 310 reserves are maintained on impaired loans.
As discussed within this section, credit quality metrics improved in the current quarter including a reduction in the level of non-performing assets, increased allowance for loan losses coverage of non-performing loans and decreased net charge-offs. These current credit quality metrics are comparable to the pre-credit crisis levels reported between 2005 and 2008. However, we are able to carry a slightly lower ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans than during the pre-credit crisis period as the result of the fact that the mix of the Company's loan portfolio is now more heavily weighted toward niche and purchased loans which historically require lower reserves. The niche and purchased components of our total loan portfolio now comprise 39% as compared to 23% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. Our current loan portfolio is comprised of a core portion totaling $8.7 billion with a 93 basis point allowance for loan losses and a niche and purchased component totaling $5.7 billion that only requires 19 basis points of allowance for loan losses.
Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date. In accordance with accounting guidance, credit deterioration on purchased loans is recorded as a credit discount at the time of purchase instead of as an increase to the allowance for loan losses. For analysis purposes, the Company has combined the non-accretable credit discounts recorded on purchased loans with the total allowance for loan losses in the previous tables to present the total credit reserves available on its loan portfolio. The total allowance for loan losses and non-accretable credit discounts on purchased loans was 0.74% of the total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2014 as compared to 0.78% as of September 30, 2014. The Company expects the total allowance for loan losses and non-accretable credit discounts on purchased loans to total loans ratio to increase in periods that have acquisitions and decrease in periods without acquisitions, based on the performance of the purchased loan portfolios.

Non-performing Commercial and Commercial Real Estate
Commercial non-performing loans totaled $9.6 million as of December 31, 2014 compared to $10.5 million as of September 30, 2014 and $10.8 million as of December 31, 2013. Commercial real estate non-performing loans totaled $26.6 million as of December 31, 2014 compared to $27.4 million as of September 30, 2014 and $46.9 million as of December 31, 2013.
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 $21.7 million as of December 31, 2014. The balance remained relatively unchanged from September 30, 2014 and decreased $3.4 million from December 31, 2013. The December 31, 2014 non-performing balance is comprised of $15.5 million of residential real estate (74 individual credits) and $6.2 million of home equity loans (39 individual credits). On average, this is approximately 8 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 Insurance Premium Finance Receivables
The table below presents the level of non-performing property and casualty premium finance receivables as of December 31, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the amount of net charge-offs for the quarters then ended.
| December 31, | September 30, | December 31, | |
| (Dollars in thousands) | 2014 | 2014 | 2013 |
| Non-performing premium finance receivables -- commercial | $ 20,370 | $ 21,225 | $ 19,379 |
| - as a percent of premium finance receivables - commercial outstanding | 0.87% | 0.89% | 0.89% |
| Net charge-offs (recoveries) of premium finance receivables - commercial | $ 1,244 | $ 1,268 | $ 1,165 |
| - annualized as a percent of average premium finance receivables - commercial | 0.21% | 0.20% | 0.21% |
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.
Due to the nature of collateral for commercial insurance 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.

(1) Loan was previously classified as a TDR and subsequently performed in compliance with the loan's modified terms for a period of six months (including over a calendar year-end) at a modified interest rate which represented a market rate at the time of restructuring. Per our TDR policy, the TDR classification is removed at the time of a subsequent modification.
The Company's approach to restructuring loans, excluding those acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination, is built on its credit risk rating system which requires credit management personnel to assign a credit risk rating to each loan at the time of each modification. In each case, the loan officer is responsible for recommending a credit risk rating for each loan and ensuring the credit risk ratings are appropriate. These credit risk ratings are then reviewed and approved by the bank's chief credit officer and/or concurrence credit officer. Credit risk ratings are determined by evaluating a number of factors including a borrower's financial strength, cash flow coverage, collateral protection and guarantees. The Company's credit risk rating scale is one through ten with higher scores indicating higher risk. In the case of loans rated six or worse following modification, the Company's Managed Assets Division evaluates the loan and the credit risk rating and determines that the loan has been restructured to be reasonably assured of repayment and of performance according to the modified terms and is supported by a current, well-documented credit assessment of the borrower's financial condition and prospects for repayment under the revised terms.
A modification of a loan, excluding those acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination, with an existing credit risk rating of six or worse or a modification of any other credit, which will result in a restructured credit risk rating of six or worse must be reviewed for TDR classification. In that event, our Managed Assets Division conducts an overall credit and collateral review. A modification of a loan is considered to be a TDR if both (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) for economic or legal reasons, the bank grants a concession to a borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The modification of a loan, excluding those acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination, where the credit risk rating is five or better both before and after such modification is not considered to be a TDR. Based on the Company's credit risk rating system, it considers that borrowers whose credit risk rating is five or better are not experiencing financial difficulties and therefore, are not considered TDRs.
All credits determined to be a TDR will continue to be classified as a TDR in all subsequent periods, unless the borrower has been in compliance with the loan's modified terms for a period of six months (including over a calendar year-end) and the modified interest rate represented a market rate at the time of a restructuring. The Managed Assets Division, in consultation with the respective loan officer, determines whether the modified interest rate represented a current market rate at the time of restructuring. Using knowledge of current market conditions and rates, competitive pricing on recent loan originations, and an assessment of various characteristics of the modified loan (including collateral position and payment history), an appropriate market rate for a new borrower with similar risk is determined. If the modified interest rate meets or exceeds this market rate for a new borrower with similar risk, the modified interest rate represents a market rate at the time of restructuring. Additionally, before removing a loan from TDR classification, a review of the current or previously measured impairment on the loan and any concerns related to future performance by the borrower is conducted. If concerns exist about the future ability of the borrower to meet its obligations under the loans based on a credit review by the Managed Assets Division, the TDR classification is not removed from the loan. Loans classified as TDRs that are re-modified subsequent to the initial determination will continue to be classified as TDRs following the re-modification, unless the requirements for removal from TDR classification discussed above are satisfied at the time of the re-modification.
TDRs are reviewed at the time of modification and on a quarterly basis to determine if a specific reserve is needed. The carrying amount of the loan is compared to the expected payments to be received, discounted at the loan's original rate, or for collateral dependent loans, to the fair value of the collateral. Any shortfall is recorded as a specific reserve. The Company, in accordance with ASC 310-10, continues to individually measure impairment of these loans after the TDR classification is removed.
Each TDR was reviewed for impairment at December 31, 2014 and approximately $1.6 million of impairment was present and appropriately reserved for through the Company's normal reserving methodology in the Company's allowance for loan losses. For TDRs in which impairment is calculated by the present value of future cash flows, the Company records interest income representing the decrease in impairment resulting from the passage of time during the respective period, which differs from interest income from contractually required interest on these specific loans. For the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $195,000 and $174,000, respectively, in interest income representing this decrease in impairment. For the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $724,000 and $901,000, respectively, in interest income representing this decrease in impairment.

Covered Assets
In conjunction with FDIC-assisted transactions, the Company entered into loss share agreements with the FDIC. These agreements cover realized losses on loans, foreclosed real estate and certain other assets. These loss share assets are measured separately from the loan portfolios because they are not contractually embedded in the loans and are not transferable with the loans should the Company choose to dispose of them. Fair values at the acquisition dates were estimated based on projected cash flows available for loss-share based on the credit adjustments estimated for each loan pool and the loss share percentages. The loss share assets are also separately measured from the related loans and foreclosed real estate and recorded separately on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Subsequent to the acquisition date, reimbursements received from the FDIC for actual incurred losses will reduce the loss share assets. Additional expected losses, to the extent such expected losses result in the recognition of an allowance for loan losses, will increase the loss share assets. The loss share agreements with the FDIC require the Company to reimburse the FDIC in the event that actual losses on covered assets are lower than the original loss estimates agreed upon with the FDIC with respect of such assets in the loss share agreements. The allowance for loan losses for loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions is determined without giving consideration to the amounts recoverable through loss share agreements (since the loss share agreements are separately accounted for and thus presented "gross" on the balance sheet). On the Consolidated Statements of Income, the provision for credit losses is reported net of changes in the amount recoverable under the loss share agreements. Reductions to expected losses, to the extent such reductions to expected losses are the result of an improvement to the actual or expected cash flows from the covered assets, will reduce the loss share assets. The increases in cash flows for the purchased loans are recognized as interest income prospectively.
The following table provides a comparative analysis for the period end balances of covered assets and any changes in the allowance for covered loan losses. The Company expects covered assets and the allowance for covered loan losses to continue to decrease in periods without FDIC-assisted acquisitions.

Changes in Accretable Yield
The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying value of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income using an effective yield method over the remaining life of the pool of loans. The accretable yield is affected by:
- Changes in interest rate indices for variable rate loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 – Expected future cash flows are based on the variable rates in effect at the time of the regular evaluations of cash flows expected to be collected;
- Changes in prepayment assumptions – Prepayments affect the estimated life of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 which may change the amount of interest income, and possibly principal, expected to be collected; and
- Changes in the expected principal and interest payments over the estimated life – Updates to expected cash flows are driven by the credit outlook and actions taken with borrowers. Changes in expected future cash flows from loan modifications are included in the regular evaluations of cash flows expected to be collected.
The following table provides activity for the accretable yield of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30.

Accretion to interest income from loans acquired in bank acquisitions totaled $5.8 million and $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded accretion to interest income of $29.9 million and $36.9 million, respectively. These amounts include accretion from both covered and non-covered loans, and are included together within interest and fees on loans in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
