Old Second Reports Third Quarter Net Income of $8.4 million, or $0.29 per Diluted Share

AURORA, IL, October 20, 2021 – Old Second Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company,” “Old Second,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) (NASDAQ: OSBC), the parent company of Old Second National Bank (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2021. Our net income was $8.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $8.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021, and net income of $10.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020. Net income for the third quarter of 2021 reflected a $1.5 million pre-tax release of provision for credit losses, compared to a $3.5 million pre-tax release in the second quarter of 2021, and a $300,000 pre-tax provision expense in the third quarter of 2020. Residential mortgage banking revenue totaled $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, and $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) experienced a mark to market loss of $282,000 during the third quarter of 2021, compared to a $1.0 million loss in the prior quarter and a $160,000 loss in the third quarter of 2020. Net gain on sales of mortgage loans totaled $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, and $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, as mortgage origination and refinancing volumes declined in the current year. Noninterest expense included $425,000 of merger-related expenses in the third quarter of 2021 due to the pending merger with West Suburban Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, which is anticipated to close in December 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required approval by the stockholders of each company.

Operating Results

· Third quarter 2021 net income was $8.4 million, reflecting a decrease in earnings of $409,000 from the second quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $1.9 million from the third quarter of 2020.

· Net interest and dividend income was $22.6 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $664,000, or 3.0%, from the second quarter of 2021, and an increase of $109,000, or 0.5%, from third quarter of 2020.

· Interest and dividend income for the third quarter of 2021 was $24.8 million, an increase of $596,000 from the second quarter of 2021, but a decrease of $256,000 from the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to the reduction in market interest rates over the past year. Interest and dividend income was favorably impacted by a large prepayment penalty recorded on one commercial credit in the third quarter of 2021, in addition to loan fees earned on forgiven Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans during the second and third quarters of 2021. We originated 746 PPP loans totaling $136.7 million in 2020, and as of September 30, 2021, $2.4 million on seven PPP loans originated during the first round of the PPP loan program remained outstanding. During the first and second quarters of 2021, we originated $62.3 million, or 574 loans, under the second round of the PPP loan program, of which $32.3 million, or 253 loans, remain outstanding as of September 30, 2021. Net loan interest and fee income recorded in 2021 year to date on all PPP loans totaled $2.7 million, and approximately $1.3 million of net PPP loan fees remain unearned as of September 30, 2021.

· Interest expense for both the second and third quarters of 2021 totaled $2.2 million, compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. The $365,000 decrease in interest expense in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, was primarily due to the reduction in market interest rates year over year, which impacted all interest bearing deposit categories.

· We recorded a $1.5 million release of provision expense in the third quarter of 2021, compared to a $3.5 million release of provision expense in the second quarter of 2021, and a $300,000 provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2020, as the projected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future credit losses is currently anticipated to be less than prior projections. Our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans in the third quarter of 2021 consisted of a release of the ACL on loans of $1.5 million, as well as $236,000 of net charge-offs recorded during the quarter. In addition, the ACL for unfunded commitments decreased by $47,000 in the third quarter of 2021, due to an updated forecast of credit line utilization rates.

· Noninterest income was $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.4 million, or 17.9%, compared to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2021, but a decrease of $2.3 million, or 20.1%, compared to $11.7 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily driven by a $1.1 million increase in residential mortgage banking revenue, attributable to a $800,000 decrease in the mark to market loss on MSRs and a $300,000 increase in net gain on the sales of mortgage loans in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the prior quarter. In addition, increases of $146,000 in service charges on deposits and $242,000 in securities gains, net, were recorded in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the linked quarter. The decrease in noninterest income in the third qu a rter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, was primarily due to a $3.4 million decline in residential mortgage banking revenue, primarily due to a $3.1 million decrease in net gain on sales of mortgage loans, which was partially offset by an increase in wealth management income of $483,000, and securities gains, net, of $244,000 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to securities losses of $1,000 in the third quarter of 2020.

· Noninterest expense was $22.1 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $728,000, or 3.4%, compared to $21.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, and an increase of $1.9 million, or 9.2%, from $20.3 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in legal and professional services fees due to merger-related costs incurred of $425,000 in the third quarter of 2021, as well as an increase in occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses due to planned maintenance, and computer and data processing expense. The increase in noninterest expense in the year over year period was primarily due to salaries and employee benefits expense, occupancy, furniture and equipment expense, legal expense, card related expense and other expense.

· The provision for income taxes expense was $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, and $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in tax expense was due to lower pre-tax income for the third quarter of 2021, compared to both the linked quarter and the year over year period, partially offset by an increase in non-deductible expenses, primarily due to merger-related costs incurred in the third quarter of 2021.

· On October 19, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on November 8, 2021, to stockholders of record as of October 29, 2021.

President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Eccher said “An improving economy and conservative positioning resulted in solid core earnings trends relative to last quarter featuring increased spread income, a stable margin and controlled expenses. Loan growth remains a challenge in the face of low line utilization rates and tepid overall demand with continuing elevated prepayments. The end result was flat total loan volumes relative to last quarter exclusive of PPP loan settlement activity. Deposit inflows remain robust and resulted in a further increase in excess liquidity as evidenced by a $23.9 million increase in average cash on the balance sheet during the quarter. We continue to deploy a portion of the excess liquidity on our balance sheet in short duration securities with yields far below the aggregate portfolio yield. The combination of these factors largely resulted in a two basis point reported increase in our net interest margin over the linked quarter. Our credit quality metrics and expectations have continued to improve as the Chicago area seems to be moving towards a more normalized environment and we recorded a $1.5 million reduction in the allowance for credit losses this quarter. Looking forward, I am optimistic on loan growth trends for the remainder of the year and continue to believe reported margin trends will be dominated by changes in liquidity levels on our balance sheet rather than any fundamental change in our business. I believe Old Second remains conservatively positioned to meet the challenges that may present themselves, as our expenses remain well-controlled, our business is well-diversified, customer activity is increasing and our underwriting has remained disciplined and consistent. I would like to thank our employees for their continued hard work in delivering a solid quarter while focusing on exceptional customer service as we move towards a more normal routine.”

Eccher continued, “In late July, we announced an agreement to acquire West Suburban Bancorp. The pro forma company will have approximately $6.2 billion in assets, $5.3 billion in deposits and $3.4 billion in loans. We believe the merger will significantly enhance our scale and geographic reach within the Chicago metropolitan area and will offer the potential to deliver exceptional value to the stockholders of both organizations. We are working diligently to prepare for the closing of the transaction, including operational planning, the recent receipt of all required bank regulatory approvals and continuing investments in the expansion of our sales teams across several lending verticals. We believe the combined company will feature a strong core deposit funding base with improved profitability and enhanced strategic positioning, including the scale to prioritize investments in technology and growth. We are excited for the future and believe the combination will provide us with a tremendous opportunity to build a better bank for our stockholders, employees and the communities we serve.”

COVID-19 Update

· Late in the first quarter of 2020, we began granting loan payment deferrals to certain borrowers affected by the pandemic. For the period of April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021, our clients had requested loan payment deferrals on 506 loans totaling $237.8 million. As of September 30, 2021, 494 loans, representing $229.0 million outstanding, or 96.3% of the original loan balances deferred, have resumed payments or paid off. Active payment deferrals remain on 12 loans, with $8.8 million of balances outstanding.

· We are participating in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES” Act). During 2021, we processed 574 loan applications for PPP loans, representing a total of $62.3 million. As of September 30, 2021, we had $2.4 million of PPP loans outstanding that were originated under the first round of the PPP loan program in 2020, and $32.3 million of PPP loans outstanding that were originated under the second round of the PPP loan program in 2021. Early in the fourth quarter of 2020, we started to submit applications for PPP loan forgiveness to the SBA, and as of September 30, 2021, $164.3 million on 1,060 loans have been forgiven. We anticipate receiving the remaining funds for our first round of PPP loan forgiveness from the SBA through the end of 2021, and will also continue the forgiveness process for our second round of PPP loans during the remainder of 2021 and into early 2022.

Asset Quality & Earning Assets

· Nonperforming loans totaled $29.0 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $23.1 million at June 30, 2021, and $20.8 million at September 30, 2020. Credit metrics reflect two large credits which totaled $7.4 million that moved to nonaccrual status in the third quarter of 2021, and management is carefully monitoring loans considered to be in a classified status. Nonperforming loans, as a percent of total loans were 1.5% at September 30, 2021, 1.2% at June 30, 2021, and 1.0% at September 30, 2020.

· OREO assets totaled $1.9 million at both September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, compared to $2.7 million at September 30, 2020. In the third quarter of 2021, we recorded one property sale of $37,000 net book value, one property transfer into OREO of $69,000 net book value, and a net write up of $2,000, compared to write downs of $61,000 in the second quarter of 2021 and $46,000 in the third quarter of 2020. Nonperforming assets, as a percent of total loans plus OREO, were 1.7% at September 30, 2021, compared to 1.3% at June 30, 2021, and 1.2% at September 30, 2020.

· Total loans were $1.87 billion at September 30, 2021, reflecting a decrease of $35.4 million compared to June 30, 2021, and a decrease of $162.4 million compared to September 30, 2020. Decreases in the linked quarter and year over year periods were primarily due to $164.3 million of PPP loan paydowns in our commercial portfolio, net of PPP loan originations of $62.3 million in 2021, as borrower liquidity is at a high level due to federal stimulus programs and there is a general lack of incentive for making capital expenditures. Average loans (including loans held-for-sale) for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $1.89 billion, reflecting a decrease of $41.3 million from the second quarter of 2021 and a decrease of $159.3 million from the third quarter of 2020.

· Available-for-sale securities totaled $715.2 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $579.9 million at June 30, 2021, and $448.4 million at September 30, 2020. Total securities available-for-sale increased a net $135.2 million from the linked quarter due to purchases of $73.0 million of collateralized mortgage-backed securities, $48.3 million of asset-backed securities, $39.4 million of collateralized debt obligations, and $28.3 million of taxable agencies, partially reduced by sales of $26.9 million of corporate bonds and paydowns on various securities which totaled $23.8 million. The unrealized mark to market adjustment on securities decreased by $3.3 million since June 30, 2021, and decreased by $494,000 in the year over year period due to market interest rate fluctuations.

1 Tax equivalent (TE) basis is calculated using a marginal tax rate of 21% in 2021 and 2020. See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Presentations” below and the table on page 18 that provides a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

2 Interest income from loans is shown on a tax equivalent basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as discussed in the table on page 18 and includes fees of $1.8 million, $1.3 million, and $975,000 for the third quarter of 2021, the second quarter of 2021, and the third quarter of 2020, respectively. Nonaccrual loans are included in the above stated average balances.

Net interest income (TE) was $23.0 million for the third quarter of 2021, which reflects an increase of $671,000 compared to the second quarter of 2021, and an increase of $99,000 compared to the third quarter of 2020. The tax equivalent adjustment for the third quarter of 2021 was $346,000, compared to $339,000 for the second quarter of 2021, and $356,000 for the third quarter of 2020. Average interest earning assets increased $32.1 million to $3.09 billion for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021, and increased $316.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020; both of these increases were primarily due to growth in interest earning deposits with financial institutions and taxable securities available-for-sale. Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, decreased $41.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021, and decreased $159.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2020. The yields on loans for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021, increased 15 basis points, due to the continued payoff of the lower yielding PPP loans, and issuance of higher yielding loans during the quarter. Growth in the average balance of securities for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2020, partially offset the decline in yields which resulted in an increase to interest income compared to the second quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $265,000 in tax-equivalent interest income from the third quarter of 2020. The average yield on the total securities available-for-sale portfolio declined 71 basis points year over year. The yield on average earning assets increased one basis point in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021, and decreased 42 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2020, due to a higher amount of earning assets held in interest bearing deposits with financial institutions, which had an average yield of 15 basis points in the third quarter of 2021. The lowering of interest rates by the Federal Reserve in the first quarter of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the reduction of rates on many earning assets, resulting in fewer alternatives for higher-yielding investments, as well as a general market trend for depositors to hold cash in more liquid interest bearing deposit accounts.

Total securities income (TE) was $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $36,000 compared to the second quarter of 2021 and increase of $324,000 compared to the third quarter of 2020, due primarily to an increase in volumes compared to the linked quarter and the year over year period, respectively. Security purchases totaled $189.6 million in the third quarter of 2021, which were partially offset by paydowns, calls, and maturities of $23.8 million, and sales of $26.9 million. Our overall yield on tax equivalent municipal securities was 3.46% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 3.40% for both the second quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2020. Taxable security yields declined in the third quarter of 2021, resulting in a decrease to the overall tax equivalent yield for the total securities portfolio of 17 basis points from June 30, 2021, and 71 basis points from September 30, 2020.

Average interest bearing liabilities decreased $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021, primarily driven by a $21.4 million decrease in securities sold under repurchase agreements, partially offset by an $11.9 million increase in average interest bearing deposits. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $137.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily driven by a $98.9 million increase in interest bearing deposits and a $59.2 million increase in subordinated debentures. The cost of interest bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2021 decreased two basis points from the second quarter of 2021, and decreased twelve basis points from the third quarter of 2020. Growth in our average noninterest bearing demand deposits of $136.9 million in the year over year period has assisted us in controlling our cost of funds stemming from average interest bearing deposits and borrowings; cost of funds totaled 0.29% for the third quarter of 2021, 0.31% for the second quarter of 2021, and 0.38% for the third quarter of 2020.

In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with certain qualified institutional buyers pursuant to which we sold and issued $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2031 (the “Notes”). We sold the Notes to eligible purchasers in a private offering, and the proceeds of this issuance are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, the redemption of existing senior debt, common stock repurchases and strategic acquisitions. The Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.50% through April 14, 2026, payable semi-annually in arrears. From April 15, 2026 forward, the interest rate on the Notes will generally reset quarterly to a rate equal to Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined by the Note) plus 273 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. The Notes have a stated maturity of April 15, 2031, and are redeemable, in whole are in part, on April 15, 2026, or any interest payment date thereafter, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events.

Our net interest margin (GAAP) increased three basis points to 2.91% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 2.88% for the second quarter of 2021, and decreased 32 basis points compared to 3.23% for the third quarter of 2020. Our net interest margin (TE) increased two basis points to 2.95% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 2.93% for the second quarter of 2021, and decreased 33 basis points compared to 3.28% for the third quarter of 2020. Our core net interest margin (TE), a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of our PPP loans, was 2.85% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 2.91% for the second quarter of 2021 and 3.34% for the third quarter of 2020. The reductions year over year were due primarily to the lower level of market interest rates over the majority of the past twelve months, the related rate resets on loans and securities during the past year, and the increase in liquidity on the balance sheet. See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Presentations” and the table on page 18 that provides a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

Noninterest income increased $1.4 million, or 17.9%, in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021, and decreased $2.3 million, or 20.1%, compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily driven by a $1.1 million increase in residential mortgage banking revenue, attributable to a $751,000 decrease in mark to market loss on MSRs stemming from market interest rate changes and a $291,000 increase in net gain on sales of mortgage loans in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021. In addition, increases were noted compared to the linked quarter of $242,000 in securities gains, net, and $147,000 in service charges on deposits.

The decrease in noninterest income in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, is primarily due to a $3.4 million decrease in residential mortgage banking revenue, comprised of a $3.1 million decrease in net gain on sales of mortgage loans from the 2020 like period. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in wealth management fees of $483,000 and card related income of $125,000 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase in card related income in the third quarter of 2021, compared to both the linked quarter and prior year quarter, resulted from reductions in COVID-19-related restrictions and the resultant increase in consumer spending. An increase of $245,000 was also noted in securities gains, net, due to securities sold in the third quarter of 2021.

1 The efficiency ratio shown in the table above is a GAAP financial measure calculated as noninterest expense, excluding amortization of core deposits and OREO expenses, divided by the sum of net interest income and total noninterest income less any BOLI death benefit recorded, net gains or losses on securities and mark to market gains or losses on MSRs.

2 The adjusted efficiency ratio shown in the table above is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as noninterest expense, excluding amortization of core deposits and OREO expenses, divided by the sum of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, total noninterest income less net gains or losses on securities and mark to market gains or losses on MSRs, and includes a tax equivalent adjustment on the change in cash surrender value of BOLI. See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Presentations” below and the table on page 18 that provides a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 increased $728,000, or 3.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2021, and increased $1.9 million, or 9.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2020. The linked quarter increase is primarily attributable to a $173,000 increase in computer and data processing expense and a $320,000 increase in legal fees attributable to merger-related costs incurred related to our pending acquisition of West Suburban Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary bank. These increases were partially offset by a $51,000 decrease in other real estate owned expense in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the linked quarter.

The year over year increase in noninterest expense is primarily attributable to a $378,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020. Officer incentive compensation increased $244,000 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, as incentive accruals in 2021 were at a higher rate than the prior year. Employee benefits expense increased $235,000 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, due to an increase in employee insurance costs as more employees returned to more routine medical appointments, many of which were on hold during the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also had increases in the year over year period in occupancy, furniture and equipment expense of $415,000 due to an increase in planned building repairs, an increase in computer and data processing expense of $251,000 and an increase in legal fees of $286,000, primarily due to merger–related costs incurred. Finally, other expense increased $461,000 year over year due to primarily to growth in management and consulting fees, commercial loan non-legal expense, and company events due to our 150 th anniversary celebration during the third quarter of 2021.

Total loans decreased by $35.4 million at September 30, 2021, compared to June 30, 2021, and decreased $162.4 million for the year over year period. Declines were noted in the majority of loan categories, except for leases, construction and other loans in the year over year period, as borrowers have taken advantage of higher cash balances on hand to pay down or pay off their loans. In addition, during the third quarter of 2021, $9.2 million of PPP loans originated in 2020 and $26.3 million of PPP loans originated in 2021 were forgiven. Decreases in the year over year period in commercial loans was primarily due to PPP loans forgiven, net of originations, as well as reductions in organic commercial loans due to payoffs related to borrower liquidity. As required by CECL, the balance (or amortized cost basis) of purchase credit deteriorated loans (“PCD” loans) are carried on a gross basis (rather than net of the associated credit loss estimate), and the expected credit losses for PCD loans are estimated and separately recognized as part of the allowance for credit losses.

The increase in the portfolio during the third quarter of 2021, compared to the prior quarter, was driven by $189.6 million of purchases, primarily of U.S. government agencies, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, and collateralized loan obligations. These increases were primarily offset by the sale of $26.9 million of corporate bonds and paydowns of $23.8 million. The increase in the securities portfolio in the year over year period was primarily due to purchases in the last twelve months to utilize our excess cash on hand. We recorded security sales of $26.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2021, and no sales in the third quarter of 2020.

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans, performing troubled debt restructured loans accruing interest and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Our adoption of ASU 2016-13, Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) on January 1, 2020, resulted in a change in the accounting for purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans, which are now considered purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans under CECL. PCD loans acquired in our acquisition of ABC Bank totaled $4.8 million, net of purchase accounting adjustments, at September 30, 2021. PCD loans that meet the definition of nonperforming loans are now included in our nonperforming disclosures. Nonperforming loans to total loans was 1.5% for the third quarter of 2021, 1.2% for the second quarter of 2021, and 1.0% for the third quarter of 2020 . Nonperforming assets to total loans plus OREO was 1.7% for the third quarter of 2021, and 1.3% for second quarter of 2021 and 1.2% for the third quarter of 2020 as two large credits were moved to nonaccrual status in the third quarter of 2021. Our allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.4% as of September 30, 2021 and 1.6% September 30, 2020.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments

At September 30, 2021, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans totaled $26.9 million, and our ACL on unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities, totaled $2.2 million. The decrease in our ACL on loans at September 30, 2021, compared to June 30, 2021, was driven by a $1.5 million release of provision expense in the third quarter of 2021, based on updates to our loss forecasts primarily stemming from a more favorable unemployment projection and continued updates to our loss rate forecasts. The decrease in our ACL on unfunded commitments at September 30, 2021, compared to June 30, 2021, was driven by a $47,000 release of provision expense in the third quarter of 2021 due to adjustments in our funding rate assumptions based on our analysis of the last 12 months of utilization. Our ACL on loans to total loans was 1.4% as of September 30, 2021, compared to 1.5% as of June 30, 2021, and 1.6% at September 30, 2020. The ACL on unfunded commitments totaled $2.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, compared to $4.0 million as of September 30, 2020.

Gross charge-offs for the third quarter of 2021 were $369,000, compared to $301,000 for the second quarter of 2021, and $451,000 for the third quarter of 2020. Gross recoveries were $132,000 for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $236,000 for the second quarter of 2021 and $816,000 for the third quarter of 2020. Continued recoveries are indicative of the ongoing aggressive efforts by management to effectively manage and resolve prior charge-offs.

Deposits

Total deposits were $2.71 billion at September 30, 2021, an increase of $32.3 million compared to June 30, 2021, resulting from net increases in demand deposits of $9.1 million, and net increases in savings, NOW and money market accounts of $61.0 million, partially offset by decreases in time deposits of $37.7 million. Total deposits increased $235.1 million in the year over year period driven primarily by growth in demand deposits of $148.6 million, and savings, NOW and money market accounts of $180.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits of $93.9 million.

Borrowings

As of September 30, 2021, we had no other short-term borrowings compared to $6.1 million as of September 30, 2020. Due to growth in deposits, our need for short-term funding in 2021 has declined year over year.

We were indebted on senior notes totaling $44.5 million, net of deferred issuance costs, as of September 30, 2021. We were also indebted on $25.8 million of junior subordinated debentures, net of deferred issuance costs, which is related to the trust preferred securities issued by our statutory trust subsidiary, Old Second Capital Trust II. Subordinated debt totaled $59.2 million as of September 30, 2021, consisting of $60.0 million in principal issued on April 6, 2021, net of debt issuance cost of $800,000. Notes payable and other borrowings totaled $20.2 million as of September 30, 2021, and is comprised of $14.0 million outstanding on a $20.0 million term note we originated to facilitate the March 2020 redemption of our trust preferred securities and related junior subordinated debentures issued by Old Second Capital Trust I, and $6.2 million of a long-term FHLBC advance acquired in our ABC Bank acquisition that matures on February 2, 2026.

Non-GAAP Presentations

Management has disclosed in this earnings release certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure our performance, including the presentation of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis, our efficiency ratio calculations and core net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis. The net interest margin fully taxable equivalent is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Consistent with industry practice, management has disclosed the efficiency ratio including and excluding certain items, which is discussed in the noninterest expense presentation on page 7. Our core net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis excludes the impact of our PPP loans.

We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe these measures provide investors with information regarding balance sheet profitability, and we believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, and we strongly encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. The tables on page 18 provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

Forward looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “likely,” “will,” “forecast,” “project,” “moving towards,” “looking forward,” “optimistic" or other statements that indicate future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the economic outlook, our expectations regarding future loan growth, trends in our net interest margin, the adequacy of our allowance, statements about our proposed merger with West Suburban, including the timing of the closing of the merger, and our belief that we are conservatively positioned, as well as statements regarding asset quality trends and the anticipated timing of our receipt of funds for PPP loan forgiveness. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements, (1) the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct our operations may be different than expected, including, but not limited to, due to the negative impacts and disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic on the economies and communities we serve, which has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our business, operations and performance, and could continue to have a negative impact on our credit portfolio, share price, borrowers, and on the economy as a whole, both domestically and globally; (2) the rate of delinquencies and amounts of charge-offs, the level of allowance for credit loss, the rates of loan growth, or adverse changes in asset quality in our loan portfolio, which may result in increased credit risk-related losses and expenses; (3) changes in legislation, regulation, policies, or administrative practices, whether by judicial, governmental, or legislative action, including, but not limited to, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the “CARES Act”; (4) risks related to future acquisitions, if any, including execution and integration risks; (5) adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other capital markets (including changes in interest rate conditions) could have a negative impact on us; (6) changes in interest rates, which may affect our net income, prepayment penalty income, mortgage banking income, and other future cash flows, or the market value of our assets, including our investment securities; and (7) with respect to the proposed merger with West Suburban: (a) the failure of either company to obtain stockholder approval for the proposed merger, the satisfaction of conditions to any regulatory approval, including the expiration of applicable waiting periods, or the failure of either company to satisfy any of the other closing conditions to the transaction on a timely basis or at all; (b) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the merger agreement; (c) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that causes the bank regulatory agencies to revoke their approvals of the transaction or otherwise impose conditions on such approvals that could adversely affect the combined company or the benefits of the transaction; and (d) the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transaction, including anticipated cost savings and strategic gains, are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy, competitive factors in the areas where Old Second and West Suburban do business, or as a result of other unexpected factors or events.. Additional risks and uncertainties are contained in the “Risk Factors” and forward-looking statements disclosure in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in Amendment No.1 to the Form S-4 Registration Statement filed with the SEC on October 19, 2021.
