FIRST MID-ILLINOIS BANCSHARES, INC. Dated: January 29, 2003 By: /s/ William S. Rowland ----------------------------- William S. Rowland President and Chief Executive Officer EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit Number Description 99 Quarterly shareholder report issued January 29, 2003 Exhibit 99 January 29, 2003 Quarterly Report to the Owners, First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. We are pleased to report that First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. had a successful 2002 with diluted earnings per share increasing to $2.38 per share as compared to $1.92 per share in 2001, a 24 percent increase. Net income increased to $8,034,000 in 2002 as compared to $6,516,000 in 2001. As a result of this performance, the Company increased its annual dividend to $.50 per share in 2002 from $.43 per share in 2001. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Numbers 142 and 147 and ceased amortization of goodwill from business combinations. The adoption of these accounting standards increased 2002 diluted earnings per share by $.17 per diluted share. Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $26,726,000 for 2002 as compared to $23,916,000 in 2001, representing an increase of $2,810,000. An increase in the net interest margin and growth in net average earning assets helped to increase 2002 profitability. The Company's tax equivalent net interest margin for 2002 increased to 4.09% as compared to 3.99% in 2001 due to growth in the loan portfolio and lower funding costs. Loan balances increased by $26.6 million during the year. The loan growth was primarily in commercial and commercial real estate loans. The Company incurred net charge-offs of $1,054,000 in 2002 as compared with $435,000 for 2001. The increase in net charge-offs led management to increase the provision for loan losses to $1,075,000 for 2002 as compared with $600,000 in 2001. Non-interest income was $10,832,000 for 2002 as compared to $8,672,000 in 2001. The increase was primarily the result of increased insurance commission revenue generated since the purchase of The Checkley Agency, Inc., in January, 2002, growth in deposit service charges as a result of increases in deposit balances and overdraft fees, and a lower interest rate environment that has led to increased mortgage loan originations and sales. Non-interest expenses of $24,444,000 increased by $2,012,000 when compared to 2001 primarily as a result of the increased costs associated with the acquisition and operations of Checkley and the operations of the Highland banking center acquired in April 2001. In addition, expenses associated with the opening of new locations in Champaign and Maryville were incurred in 2002. During 2002, we acquired 240,346 shares of our own stock in open market and through privately-negotiated transactions. These acquisitions of stock were made under a share repurchase program which we initiated in 1998 and which is ongoing. For additional information about the program, please contact Ms. Christie Burich, Vice-President and Director of Shareholder Services, at (217) 258-0493 or by email at cburich@firstmid.com.
