Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

TCF Financial Corporation ("TCF" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a financial holding company based in Wayzata, Minnesota. Its principal subsidiaries, TCF National Bank and TCF National Bank Arizona ("TCF Bank"), are headquartered in South Dakota and Arizona, respectively. TCF has 443 banking offices in Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, Wisconsin, Indiana, Arizona and South Dakota.

TCF provides convenient financial services through multiple channels in its primary banking markets. TCF has developed products and services designed to meet the needs of all consumers. The Company focuses on attracting and retaining customers through service and convenience, including branches that are open seven days a week and on most holidays, extensive full-service supermarket branches, automated teller machine ("ATM") networks and telephone and internet banking. TCF's philosophy is to generate interest income, fees and other revenue growth through business lines that emphasize higher yielding assets and low or no interest-cost deposits. The Company's growth strategies include new branch expansion, acquisitions and the development of new products and services. New products and services are designed to build on existing businesses and expand into complementary products and services through strategic initiatives.

TCF's core businesses include retail and small business banking, commercial banking, consumer lending, leasing and equipment finance and inventory finance. The retail banking business includes traditional and supermarket branches, campus banking, EXPRESS TELLER® ATMs and Visa® cards.

TCF's lending strategy is to originate high credit quality, primarily secured, loans and leases. TCF's largest core lending business is its consumer real estate loan operation, which offers fixed- and variable-rate loans and lines of credit secured by residential real estate properties. Commercial loans are generally made on local properties or to local customers. The leasing and equipment finance businesses consist of TCF Equipment Finance, Inc. ("TCF Equipment Finance"), a company that delivers equipment finance solutions to businesses in select markets and Winthrop Resources Corporation ("Winthrop Resources") and Fidelity National Capital, Inc. ("FNCI"), companies that primarily lease technology and data processing equipment. TCF's leasing and equipment finance businesses have equipment installations in all 50 states and, to a limited extent, in foreign countries. TCF Inventory Finance Inc. ("TCF Inventory Finance") provides inventory financing to electronics and appliances and lawn and garden retailers in the United States and to a limited extent in Canada.

Net interest income, the difference between interest income earned on loans and leases, securities available for sale, investments and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowings represented 56% of TCF's total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Net interest income can change significantly from period to period based on general levels of interest rates, customer prepayment patterns, the mix of interest-earning assets and the mix of interest-bearing and non-interest bearing deposits and borrowings. TCF manages the risk of changes in interest rates on its net interest income through an Asset/Liability Committee and through related interest-rate risk monitoring and management policies.

Non-interest income is a significant source of revenue for TCF and an important factor in TCF's results of operations. Key drivers of non-interest income are the number of deposit accounts and related transaction activity. Recent legislative proposals would, if enacted, restrict or limit TCF's ability to impose overdraft fees on retail checking accounts and interchange fees on debit card transactions and could have a significant adverse impact on TCF's non-interest income. The Federal Reserve is expected to issue a new regulation in November of 2009 that will regulate the imposition of overdraft fees and which could also have a significant adverse impact on TCF's non-interest income.

TCF recently announced that it would introduce a new checking account product known as TCF Convenience CheckingSM in the first quarter of 2010 that would carry a monthly account deposit maintenance fee for accounts with a balance below designated levels and charge daily negative balance deposit maintenance fees instead of per item overdraft fees. The account will also provide for a monthly maintenance fee. TCF believes this new product includes a number of features that will be attractive to many customers and addresses many of the concerns of the Federal Reserve Board and various Congress communications relative to banking fees. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Consolidated Non-Interest Income" for additional information.

The Company's Visa debit card program has grown significantly since its inception in 1996. TCF is the 10th largest issuer of Visa Classic debit cards in the United States, based on sales volume for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as published by Visa. TCF earns interchange revenue from customer card transactions paid primarily by merchants, not by TCF's customers. These products represent 22% of fee revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Visa has significant litigation against it regarding interchange pricing and there is a risk this revenue could be impacted by any settlement or adverse rulings in such litigation. Interchange pricing has also been the subject of various pending legislative proposals that may seek to limit such fees. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Other Expense" for further discussion.

The following portions of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations focus in more detail on the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and on information about TCF's balance sheet, credit quality, liquidity, funding sources, capital and other matters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Performance Summary

TCF reported net income of $17.5 million and $67.6 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with $30.1 million and $101.3 million for the same 2008 periods. Diluted earnings per common share was 14 cents and 39 cents for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with 24 cents and 81 cents for the same 2008 periods. In the second quarter of 2009, the non-cash deemed dividend on the redemption of preferred stock reduced earnings per common share by 10 cents.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, return on average assets was .39% and .52%, respectively, compared with .73% and .83% for the same 2008 periods. Return on average common equity was 6.03% for the third quarter and 7.13% for the first nine months of 2009, excluding the non-cash deemed preferred stock dividend, compared with 11.11% and 12.29% for the same 2008 periods. The return on average common equity was 5.73% for the first nine months of 2009, including the impact of the non-cash deemed dividend on the redemption of preferred stock in the second quarter of 2009.

Operating Segment Results

See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the financial results of TCF's operating segments.

BANKING, consisting of retail banking, commercial banking, small business banking, consumer lending and treasury services, reported net income of $11.3 million and $49.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with $26 million and $83.3 million for the same 2008 periods. Banking net interest income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 was $131.1 million and $379.2 million, respectively, compared with $132.8 million and $388.9 million for the same 2008 periods.

The banking provision for credit losses was $65.7 million and $151.5 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with $47.2 million and $132.6 million for the same 2008 periods. The increase from the third quarter of 2008 was primarily due to increased consumer real estate and commercial net charge-offs and provisions for impaired consumer real estate loans. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Consolidated Provision for Credit Losses" for further discussion.

Banking non-interest income totaled $111.7 million for the third quarter of 2009, up 1.2% from $110.4 million for the same 2008 period primarily due to increases in fees and service charges, partially offset by a decrease in investment and insurance revenue. Banking non-interest income totaled $336 million for the first nine months of 2009, up .7% from $333.7 million for the same 2008 period primarily due to a $14.2 million increase in gain on securities, partially offset by an $8.3 million gain in 2008 on the redemption of Visa shares and a $9 million decrease in investment and insurance revenues.

Banking non-interest expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 was $162.6 million and $487.4 million, respectively, compared with $156.6 million and $460.4 million for the same 2008 periods primarily due to increased FDIC premiums and assessments, deposit account premium expenses and increased levels of foreclosed real estate activity.

LEASING AND EQUIPMENT FINANCE, an operating segment composed of TCF's wholly-owned subsidiaries TCF Equipment Finance, Winthrop Resources and FNCI, provides a broad range of lease and equipment finance products. Leasing and equipment finance reported net income of $7.6 million and $22.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with $7.8 million and $21.5 million for the same 2008 periods. Net interest income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 was $26.7 million and $77.9 million, respectively, compared with $19.6 million and $58.2 million for the same 2008 periods.

The provision for credit losses for this operating segment was $9.6 million and $28.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with $4.9 million and $12.4 million for the same 2008 periods primarily due to higher net charge-offs and the resulting portfolio reserve increases in the middle market and small ticket segments.

Leasing and equipment finance non-interest income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 totaled $15.2 million and $44.7 million, respectively, up from $13 million and $39.2 million for the same 2008 periods primarily due to an increase in sales-type lease revenue. Leasing and equipment finance revenues may fluctuate from period to period based on customer driven factors not entirely within the control of TCF. Leasing and equipment finance non-interest expense totaled $20.4 million and $58.6 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with $15.5 million and $49 million for the same 2008 periods primarily as a result of increased compensation from expansion and increased expense for repossessed assets.

OTHER, including the holding company, corporate functions and TCF Inventory Finance, reported a net loss of $1.7 million and $4.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with a net loss of $3.7 million and $3.6 million for the same 2008 periods. The decrease in net loss from the third quarter of 2008 was due in part to improved operating results of TCF Inventory Finance.

Consolidated Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $161.5 million, up from $152.2 million for the third quarter of 2008 and $156.5 million from the second quarter of 2009. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2009 totaled $463.4 million, up from $446.6 million for the same 2008 period. The increase in net interest income from the third quarter of 2008 was primarily attributable to a $995 million, or 7.7%, increase in average loans and leases, partially offset by a five basis point decrease in net interest margin. The increase in net interest income from the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to a $119.6 million, or .9%, increase in average loans and leases and a 12 basis point increase in net interest margin. The increase in net interest

income from the first nine months of 2008 was primarily due to a $1.1 billion, or 8.4%, increase in average loans and leases, partially offset by a 14 basis point decrease in net interest margin.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2009 was 3.92%, down from 3.97% for the third quarter of 2008 and up from 3.80% from the second quarter of 2009. Net interest margin for the first nine months of 2009 was 3.80%, down from 3.94% for the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in net interest margin from the third quarter of 2008 was primarily due to declines in yields on interest-earning assets, resulting from lower market interest rates, the effect of higher balances of non-accrual loans and leases and loan modifications and investments in lower yielding debentures, partially offset by declines in rates on average deposits. The increase in net interest margin from the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to reductions in rates paid on savings and certificates of deposit, partially offset by the effects of higher balances of non-accrual loans and leases and loan modifications and lower average yields on the leasing and equipment finance portfolio.

Achieving net interest income growth over time is primarily dependent on TCF's ability to generate higher-yielding assets and lower-cost deposits. While interest rates and consumer preferences continue to change over time, TCF is currently liability sensitive as measured by its interest rate gap (the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing, repricing, or prepaying during the next twelve months). Being liability sensitive generally means that TCF's net interest income is subject to compression in rising interest rate environments. However, since TCF is primarily deposit funded, the degree is controlled by TCF partially based on how its competitors price comparable products. See "Consolidated Financial Condition Analysis - Deposits" and "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" for further discussion on TCF's interest-rate risk position.

The following table summarizes TCF's average balances, interest, dividends and yields and rates on major categories of TCF's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
