Non-GAAP Financial Measures
These slides contain non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP
financial measure is a numerical measure of the registrant’s historical or future financial performance,
financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect
of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash
flows (or equivalent statements) of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that
have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so
calculated and presented. In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, First Merchants Corporation has
provided reconciliations within the slides, as necessary, of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Asset Quality & Portfolio Summary
THE STRENGTH OF BIG. THE SERVICE OF SMALL. www.firstmerchants.com
®
Loan growth of $81 million led by Commercial Real Estate and C & I.
Continued growth in construction commitments.
Criticized and Classified Assets improving but elevated as a result of
purchased portfolios and prior year agricultural results.
Provision in line with charge-offs resulting in a 1.56% ALLL to non-purchased
loans and 2.15% with fair value adjustments.
Minimal amount (<$20 million) of direct exposure to energy (coal). Other
related energy exposure is associated with commodity price fluctuations and
the effect on agricultural portfolio.
