First Midwest Bancorp Inc. provided earnings guidance for the full year of 2018. For the year, the company continues to expect earning asset growth, excluding the acquisition of NorStates, in the mid-single-digit range and GAAP net interest income growth in the high single-digit range when compared to the full year of 2017. Net interest margin on an FTE basis is expected to be relatively stable for the full year compared to 2017 as the benefits of earning asset growth and higher rates are offset by lower accretion. Excluding accretion, the company expects modest expansion in net interest margin on an FTE basis. For the year, 2018, expected effective tax rate continues to be approximately 25%, reflecting that lowered rate. But note, there may be a lower [rate] in the third quarter as the impact of tax reform adjustments are finalized in tax return.
