NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Description of Business - Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (“Old Line Bancshares”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 11, 2003 to serve as the holding company of Old Line Bank. The primary business of Old Line Bancshares is to own all of the capital stock of Old Line Bank. We provide a full range of banking services to customers located in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore City, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s, and St. Mary’s Counties in Maryland and surrounding areas.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the activity of Old Line Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary, Old Line Bank, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Pointer Ridge Office Investments, LLC (“Pointer Ridge”), a real estate investment company. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances.

 

The foregoing consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), however, in the opinion of management we have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. We derived the balances as of December 31, 2018 from audited financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with Old Line Bancshares’ financial statements and accompanying notes included in Old Line Bancshares’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. We have made no significant changes to Old Line Bancshares’ accounting policies as disclosed in the Form 10-K, except as described in the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section below.

 

Accounting Changes - Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases ( Topic 842) ” requires that lessees and lessors recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.  ASU 2016-02 was effective for us on January 1, 2019.  ASU 2016-02 provides for a modified retrospective transition approach requiring lessees to recognize and measure leases on the balance sheet at the beginning of either the earliest period presented or as of the beginning of the period of adoption with the option to elect certain practical expedients.  We have elected to apply ASU 2016-02 as of the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) and have not restated comparative periods.

 

Our operating leases relate primarily to office space and bank branches.  As a result of implementing ASU 2016-02, we recognized an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $26.2 million and an operating lease liability of $26.5 million on January 1, 2019, with no impact on our consolidated statements of income or consolidated statements of cash flows compared to the prior lease accounting model. The ROU asset and operating lease liability are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 - Leases for additional information.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13 , Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (“CECL”) model requiring Old Line Bancshares to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Old Line Bancshares has constituted a committee that has the responsibility to gather loan information and consider acceptable methodologies to comply with this ASU. The committee meets periodically to discuss the latest developments and committee members keep themselves updated on such developments via webcasts, publications, and conferences. We have also evaluated and selected a third party vendor solution to assist us in the application of ASU 2016-13. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is likely to result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. We expect to run our current model parallel to the CECL model by the end of the second quarter in 2019. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitate that we establish an allowance for expected credit losses on debt securities held to maturity. Old Line Bancshares’ evaluation indicates that the provisions of ASU 2016-13 will impact its consolidated financial statements, in particular the level of the reserve for loan losses. We are, however, continuing to evaluate the extent of the potential impact.

 

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities . This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. Today, entities generally amortize the premium over the contractual life of the security. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption was permitted. The guidance calls for a modified retrospective transition approach under which a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Old Line Bancshares’ consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.   The amendments set forth therein provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard set forth in ASU 2016-02. Under such new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard will continue to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Topic 840, Leases ).  The amendments also provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606) and certain criteria are met. If the non-lease component or components associated with the lease component are the predominant component of the combined component, an entity is required to account for the combined component in accordance with Topic 606. Otherwise, the entity must account for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with Topic 842 The amendments have the same effective date as ASU 2016-02 (January 1, 2019 for Old Line Bancshares). Old Line Bancshares elected the transition options. ASU 2018-11 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) , provides clarifications to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing essential information about leasing transactions. Specifically, ASU 2019-01 (i) allows the fair value of the underlying asset reported by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers to continue to be its cost and not fair value as measured under the fair value definition, (ii) allows for the cash flows received for sales-type and direct financing leases to continue to be presented as results from investing, and (iii) clarifies that entities do not have to disclose the effect of the lease standard on adoption year interim amounts. ASU 2019-01 will be effective for us on January 1, 2020 and will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. ACQUISITION OF BAY BANCORP, INC.

 

On April 13, 2018, Old Line Bancshares acquired Bay Bancorp, Inc. (“BYBK”), the parent company of Bay Bank, FSB (“Bay Bank”). Upon the consummation of the merger, each share of common stock of BYBK outstanding immediately before the merger was converted into the right to receive 0.4088 shares of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock, provided that cash was paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Old Line Bancshares common stock. As a result, Old Line Bancshares issued 4,408,087 shares of its common stock in exchange for the shares of BYBK common stock in the merger. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $143.6 million based on the closing sales price of Old Line Bancshares’ common stock on April 13, 2018.

 

In connection with the merger, Bay Bank merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank the surviving bank.

 

At April 13, 2018, BYBK had consolidated assets of approximately $661 million. This merger added eleven banking locations located in BYBK’s primary market areas of Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Howard and Harford Counties in Maryland.

 

The BYBK transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in accounting for the acquisition of BYBK. Management judgmentally assigned risk ratings to loans based on appraisals and estimated collateral values, expected cash flows, prepayment speeds and estimated loss factors to measure fair value for loans. Management used quoted or current market prices to determine the fair value of BYBK’s investment securities.

 

The following table provides the purchase price as of the acquisition date and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had 134 and 166 investment securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more and 18 and 34 securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.  We consider all unrealized losses on securities as of March 31, 2019 to be temporary losses because we will redeem each security at face value at or prior to maturity. We have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery or maturity. As of March 31, 2019, we do not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale and believe that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. In most cases, market interest rate fluctuations cause a temporary impairment in value. We expect the fair value to recover as the investments approach their maturity date or re-pricing date or if market yields for these investments decline. We do not believe that credit quality caused the impairment in any of these securities. Because we believe these impairments are temporary, we have not realized any loss in our consolidated statement of income.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received $3.4 million in proceeds from maturities and principal pay-downs on investment securities. The net proceeds of these transactions were used to purchase new investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we received $6.2 million in proceeds from sales, maturities or calls of, and principal pay-downs on, investment securities and realized no gains or losses. The net proceeds of these transactions were used to pay down our Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) borrowings and purchase new investment securities.

 

Contractual maturities and pledged securities at March 31, 2019 are shown below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. We classify mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) based on contractual maturity date. However, we receive payments on a monthly basis.

_______________________

(1) As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, Inc. (“Maryland Bankcorp”), the parent company of Maryland Bank & Trust Company, N.A. (“MB&T”), in April 2011, WSB Holdings Inc., the parent company of The Washington Savings Bank (“WSB”), in May 2013, Regal Bancorp, Inc. (“Regal”), the parent company of Regal Bank & Trust (“Regal Bank”), in December 2015, DCB Bancshares, Inc. (“DCB”), the parent company of Damascus Community Bank (“Damascus”), in July 2017, and BYBK, the parent company of Bay Bank, in April 2018, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, “Legacy” loans originated by Old Line Bank and “Acquired” loans acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus and Bay Bank.

 

Credit Policies and Administration

 

We have adopted a comprehensive lending policy, which includes stringent underwriting standards for all types of loans. We have designed our underwriting standards to promote a complete banking relationship rather than a transactional relationship. Our lending staff follows pricing guidelines established periodically by our management team. In an effort to manage risk, prior to funding the loan committee, consisting of four non-employee members of the board of directors and four executive officers, must approve by majority vote all credit decisions in excess of a lending officer’s lending authority. Management believes that we employ experienced lending officers, secure appropriate collateral and carefully monitor the financial condition of our borrowers and the concentrations of loans in the portfolio.

 

In addition to the internal business processes employed in the credit administration area, Old Line Bank retains an outside independent firm to review the loan portfolio. This firm performs a detailed annual review and an interim update. We use the results of the firm’s report to validate our internal ratings and we review the commentary on specific loans and on our loan administration activities in order to improve our operations.

 

Commercial Real Estate Loans

 

We finance commercial real estate for our clients, for owner occupied and investment properties, hospitality and land acquisition and development. Commercial real estate loans totaled $1.51 billion at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. This lending has involved loans secured by owner-occupied commercial buildings for office, storage and warehouse space, as well as non-owner occupied commercial buildings. Our underwriting criteria for commercial real estate loans include maximum loan-to-value ratios, debt coverage ratios, secondary sources of repayments, guarantor requirements, net worth requirements and quality of cash flows. Loans secured by commercial real estate may be large in size and may involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. Payments on such loans are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties. We will generally finance owner occupied commercial real estate that does not exceed loan to value of 80% and investor real estate at a maximum loan to value of 75%.

 

15

 

 

Commercial real estate lending entails significant risks. Risks inherent in managing our commercial real estate portfolio relate to sudden or gradual drops in property values as well as changes in the economic climate that may detrimentally impact the borrower’s ability to repay. We monitor the financial condition and operating performance of the borrower through a review of annual tax returns and updated financial statements. In addition, we meet with the borrower and/or perform site visits as required.

 

At March 31, 2019, we had approximately $193.5 million of commercial real estate loans outstanding to the hospitality industry. An individual review of these loans indicates that they generally have a low loan to value, more than acceptable existing or projected cash flow, are to experienced operators and are generally dispersed throughout the region.

 

Residential Real Estate Loans

 

We offer a variety of consumer oriented residential real estate loans including home equity lines of credit, home improvement loans and first or second mortgages on owner occupied and investment properties. Our residential loan portfolio amounted to $524.2 million and $523.6 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Although most of these loans are in our market area, the diversity of the individual loans in the portfolio reduces our potential risk. Usually, we secure our residential real estate loans with a security interest in the borrower’s primary or secondary residence with a loan to value not exceeding 85%. Our initial underwriting includes an analysis of the borrower’s debt/income ratio which generally may not exceed 43%, collateral value, length of employment and prior credit history. A credit score of at least 640 is required, except for loans originated for sale in the secondary market, as discussed below. We do not originate any subprime residential real estate loans.

 

This segment of our portfolio also consists of funds advanced for construction of custom single family residences homes (where the home buyer is the borrower) and financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and multi-family housing. These loans generally have short durations, meaning maturities typically of twelve months or less. Old Line Bank limits its construction lending risk through adherence to established underwriting procedures. These loans generally have short durations, meaning maturities typically of twelve months or less. Residential houses, multi-family dwellings and commercial buildings under construction and the underlying land for which the loan was obtained secure the construction loans. The vast majority of these loans are concentrated in our market area.

 

Construction lending also entails significant risk. These risks generally involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers with funds advanced upon the security of the land or the project under construction. An appraisal of the property estimates the value of the project “as is and as if” completed. An appraisal of the property estimates the value of the project prior to completion of construction. Thus, initial funds are advanced based on the current value of the property with the remaining construction funds advanced under a budget sufficient to successfully complete the project within the “as completed” loan to value. To further mitigate the risks, we generally limit loan amounts to 80% or less of appraised values and obtain first lien positions on the property.

 

We generally only offer real estate construction financing only to experienced builders, commercial entities or individuals who have demonstrated the ability to obtain a permanent loan “take-out” (conversion to a permanent mortgage upon completion of the project). We also perform a complete analysis of the borrower and the project under construction. This analysis includes a review of the cost to construct, the borrower’s ability to obtain a permanent “take-out” the cash flow available to support the debt payments and construction costs in excess of loan proceeds, and the value of the collateral. During construction, we advance funds on these loans on a percentage of completion basis. We inspect each project as needed prior to advancing funds during the term of the construction loan. We may provide permanent financing on the same projects for which we have provided the construction financing.

We also offer fixed rate home improvement loans. Our home equity and home improvement loan portfolio gives us a diverse client base. Although most of these loans are in our market area, the diversity of the individual loans in the portfolio reduces our potential risk. Usually, we secure our home equity loans and lines of credit with a security interest in the borrower’s primary or secondary residence.

 

Under our loan approval policy, all residential real estate loans approved must comply with federal regulations. Generally, we will make residential mortgage loans in amounts up to the limits established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for secondary market resale purposes. Currently this amount for single-family residential loans varies from $484,350 up to a maximum of $726,525 for certain high-cost designated areas. We also make residential mortgage loans up to limits established by the Federal Housing Administration, which currently is $726,525. The Washington, D.C. and Baltimore areas are both considered high-cost designated areas. We will, however, make loans in excess of these amounts if we believe that we can sell the loans in the secondary market or that the loans should be held in our portfolio. For loans we originate for sale in the secondary market, we typically require a credit score of 620 or higher, with some exceptions provided we receive an approval recommendation from FannieMae, FreddieMac or the Federal Housing Administration’s automated underwriting approval system.  Loans sold in the secondary market are sold to investors on a servicing released basis and recorded as loans as held for sale.  The premium is recorded in income on marketable loans in non-interest income, net of commissions paid to the loan officers.

 

Commercial and Industrial Lending

 

Our commercial and industrial lending consists of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, accounts receivable financing, term loans, equipment loans, Small Business Administration loans, standby letters of credit and unsecured loans. We originate commercial loans for any business purpose including the financing of leasehold improvements and equipment, the carrying of accounts receivable, general working capital, and acquisition activities. We have a diverse client base and we do not have a concentration of these types of loans in any specific industry segment. We generally secure commercial business loans with accounts receivable, equipment, deeds of trust and other collateral such as marketable securities, cash value of life insurance and time deposits at Old Line Bank.

 

Commercial business loans have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage loans because the availability of funds for repayment generally depends on the success of the business. They may also involve high average balances, increased difficulty monitoring and a high risk of default. To help manage this risk, we typically limit these loans to proven businesses and we generally obtain appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitor the financial condition of the business. For loans in excess of $250,000, monitoring generally includes a review of the borrower’s annual tax returns and updated financial statements.

 

Consumer Installment Lending

 

We offer various types of secured and unsecured consumer loans. We make consumer loans for personal, family or household purposes as a convenience to our customer base. Consumer loans, however, are not a focus of our lending activities. The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of his or her ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. As a general guideline, a consumer’s total debt service should not exceed 40% of his or her gross income.

 

Our consumer loan portfolio includes indirect loans, which consists primarily of auto and RV loans. These loans are financed through dealers and the dealers receive a percentage of the finance charge, which varies depending on the terms of each loan. We use the same underwriting standards in originating these indirect loans as we do for consumer loans generally.

 

Consumer loans may present greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans because many consumer loans are unsecured or rapidly depreciating assets secure these loans. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability. If a borrower suffers personal financial difficulties, the consumer may not repay the loan. Also, various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount we can recover on such loans.

Concentrations of Credit

 

Most of our lending activity occurs within the state of Maryland within the suburban Washington, D.C. and Baltimore market areas in Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s Counties. The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans.

 

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans

 

We consider loans past due if the borrower has not paid the required principal and interest payments when due under the original or modified terms of the promissory note and place a loan on non-accrual status when the payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due. When we classify a loan as non-accrual, we no longer accrue interest on such loan and we reverse any interest previously accrued but not collected. We will generally restore a non-accrual loan to accrual status when the borrower brings delinquent principal and interest payments current and we expect to collect future monthly principal and interest payments. We recognize interest on non-accrual legacy loans only when received. We originally recorded purchased, credit-impaired loans at fair value upon acquisition, and an accretable yield is established and recognized as interest income on purchased loans to the extent subsequent cash flows support the estimated accretable yield. Purchased, credit-impaired loans that perform consistently with the accretable yield expectations are not reported as non-accrual or nonperforming. However, purchased, credit-impaired loans that do not continue to perform according to accretable yield expectations are considered impaired, and presented as non-accrual and nonperforming. Currently, management expects to fully collect the carrying value of acquired, credit-impaired loans.

We consider all nonperforming loans and troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) to be impaired. We do not recognize interest income on nonperforming loans during the time period that the loans are nonperforming. We only recognize interest income on nonperforming loans when we receive payment in full for all amounts due of all contractually required principle and interest, and the loan is current with its contractual terms. The tables below present our impaired loans at and for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

_______________________

(1) U.S. GAAP requires that we record acquired loans at fair value at acquisition, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These purchased credit impaired loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet the definition of an impaired loan. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we do recognize an accretable yield as interest income to the extent such yield is supported by cash flow analysis of the underlying loans.

_______________________

(1) U.S. GAAP requires that we record acquired loans at fair value at acquisition, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These purchased credit impaired loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet the definition of an impaired loan. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we do recognize an accretable yield as interest income to the extent such yield is supported by cash flow analysis of the underlying loans.

 

We consider a loan a TDR when we conclude that both of the following conditions exist: the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Restructured loans at March 31, 2019 consisted of seven loans for an aggregate of $2.3 million compared to seven loans for an aggregate of $2.4 million at December 31, 2018.

 

We had no loan modifications reported as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. We had no loans that were modified as a TDR that defaulted during the three month period ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

Credit Quality Indicators

 

We review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. We base the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses upon loan categories. We categorize loans as residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. We further divide commercial real estate loans by owner occupied, investment, hospitality and land acquisition and development. We also divide residential real estate by owner occupied, investment, land acquisition and development and junior liens. All categories are divided by risk rating and loss factors and weighed by risk rating to determine estimated loss amounts. We evaluate delinquent loans and loans for which management has knowledge about possible credit problems of the borrower or knowledge of problems with collateral separately and assign loss amounts based upon the evaluation.

 

We determine loss ratios for all loans based upon a review of the three year loss ratio for the category and qualitative factors.

 

We charge off loans that management has identified as losses. We consider suggestions from our external loan review firm and bank examiners when determining which loans to charge off. We automatically charge off consumer loan accounts based on regulatory requirements. We partially charge off real estate loans that are collateral dependent based on the value of the collateral.

 

If a loan that was previously rated a pass performing loan, from our acquisitions, deteriorates subsequent to the acquisition, the subject loan will be assessed for risk and, if necessary, evaluated for impairment. If the risk assessment rating is adversely changed and the loan is determined to not be impaired, the loan will be placed in a migration category and the credit mark established for the loan will be compared to the general reserve allocation that would be applied using the current allowance for loan losses formula for General Reserves. If the credit mark exceeds the allowance for loan losses formula for General Reserves, there will be no change to the allowance for loan losses. If the credit mark is less than the current allowance for loan losses formula for General Reserves, the allowance for loan losses will be increased by the amount of the shortfall by a provision recorded in the income statement. If the loan is deemed impaired, the loan will be subject to evaluation for loss exposure and a specific reserve. If the estimate of loss exposure exceeds the credit mark, the allowance for loan losses will be increased by the amount of the excess loss exposure through a provision. If the credit mark exceeds the estimate of loss exposure there will be no change to the allowance for loan losses. If a loan from the acquired loan portfolio is carrying a specific credit mark and a current evaluation determines that there has been an increase in loss exposure, the allowance for loan losses will be increased by the amount of the current loss exposure in excess of the credit mark.

5. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

 

The fair value of other real estate owned was $883 thousand at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, WSB Holdings, Regal and BYBK, we have segmented other real estate owned (“OREO”) into two components, real estate obtained as a result of loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and other real estate acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Bay Bank or obtained as a result of loans originated by MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Bay Bank (acquired); we did not acquire any OREO properties in the DCB acquisition. We are currently aggressively either marketing these properties for sale or improving them in preparation for sale.

Residential Foreclosures and Repossessed Assets  — Once all potential alternatives for reinstatement are exhausted, past due loans collateralized by residential real estate are referred for foreclosure proceedings in accordance with local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. Once possession of the property collateralizing the loan is obtained, the repossessed property will be recorded within other assets either as OREO or, where management has both the intent and ability to recover its losses through a government guarantee, as a foreclosure claim receivable. At March 31, 2019, residential foreclosures classified as OREO totaled $234 thousand. We had seven loans for an aggregate of $973 thousand secured by residential real estate in process of foreclosure at March 31, 2019 compared to five loans for $786 thousand at December 31, 2018.

 

6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

 

We determine basic earnings per common share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding giving retroactive effect to stock dividends.

 

We calculate diluted earnings per common share by including the average dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method.

Dilutive average number of shares     17,170,507       12,743,282  

 

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $291,715 and $288,559, respectively.  At March 31, 2019, there was $2.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options that we expect to realize over the next 2.0 years. As of March 31, 2019, there were 156,646 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2010 equity incentive plan. The officers exercised 2,400 options during the three month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to 38,921 options exercised during the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

 

For purposes of determining estimated fair value of stock options, we have computed the estimated fair value of all stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, for stock options granted prior to December 31, 2018, we have applied the assumptions set forth in Old Line Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.  Restricted stock awards are valued at the current stock price on the date of the award. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no stock options granted compared to 40,000 stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we granted 28,191 and 19,443 restricted common stock awards, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of these restricted stock awards was $28.74 at March 31, 2019.  At March 31, 2019, there was $5.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards that we expect to realize over the next 2.5 years. There were no restricted shares forfeited during the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that participants would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability, or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

 

The fair value hierarchy established by accounting standards defines three input levels for fair value measurement. The applicable standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 is based on significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices. Level 3 is based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumption that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We evaluate fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels. There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

At March 31, 2019, we hold, as part of our investment portfolio, available for sale securities reported at fair value consisting of municipal securities, U.S. government sponsored entities, corporate bonds, and MBS. Prior to March 31, 2019, corporate bonds included our foreign debt securities (Israel bonds) that we have now moved into a separate classification. The fair value of the majority of these securities is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker quote-based applications. Inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, prepayments speeds and other relevant items, which inputs are used by a third-party pricing service we use to make these determinations.

 

To validate the appropriateness of the valuations provided by the third party, we regularly update the understanding of the inputs used and compare valuations to an additional third party source. We classify all our investment securities available for sale in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of treasury securities, which fall into Level 1, and our corporate bonds, which fall into Level 3.

Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes our methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value. Furthermore, we have not comprehensively revalued the fair value amounts since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the above presented amounts.

 

The fair value of the majority of the securities in significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote based applications. Inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, prepayments speeds and other relevant items, which inputs are used by a third-party pricing service we use to make these determinations.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in fair value included in assets measured in the Consolidated Balance Sheet using inputs classified as level 3 in the fair value for the period indicated:

The fair value calculated may not be indicative of net realized value or reflective of future fair values.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are included in the tables below.

 

We also measure certain non-financial assets such as OREO, TDRs, and repossessed or foreclosed property at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Generally, we estimate the fair value of these items using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on discounting criteria.

As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we estimated the fair value of impaired assets using Level 3 inputs to be $9.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively. We determined these Level 3 inputs based on appraisal evaluations, offers to purchase and/or appraisals that we obtained from an outside third party during the preceding twelve months less costs to sell. Discounts have predominantly been in the range of 0% to 50%. As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, WSB Holdings, Regal, DCB and BYBK, we have segmented the impaired loans and OREO into two components, impaired assets obtained as a result of loans originated by Old Line Bank (legacy) and impaired assets acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank, DCB and Bay Bank or obtained as a result of loans originated by MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank and Bay Bank (acquired).

The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of Old Line Bancshares’ financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.  For short term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.  For non-marketable equity securities, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities can only be redeemed or sold at their par value and only to the respective issuing government-supported institution or to another member institution.  For net loans receivable, an exit price notion is used consistent with ASC Topic 820- Fair Value Measurement . For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest bearing demand, and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity.

9. SHORT TERM BORROWINGS

 

Short term borrowings consist of promissory notes or overnight repurchase agreements sold to Old Line Bank’s customers, federal funds purchased and advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2019, we had $250.0 million outstanding in short term FHLB borrowings, compared to $190.0 million at December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no unsecured promissory notes and $32.1 million and $38.2 million, respectively, in secured promissory notes.

 

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

 

To support the $32.1 million in repurchase agreements at March 31, 2019, we have provided collateral in the form of investment securities. At March 31, 2019 we have pledged $123.5 million in U.S. government agency securities and MBS to customers who require collateral for overnight repurchase agreements and deposits. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are stated at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. As a result, there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. We monitor collateral levels on a continuous basis. We may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities in the event the collateral fair value falls below stipulated levels. We closely monitor the collateral levels to ensure adequate levels are maintained. Securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements are maintained with our safekeeping agents. We have the right to sell or re-pledge the investment securities. For government entity repurchase agreements, the collateral is held by Old Line Bank in a segregated custodial account under a tri-party agreement. The repurchase agreements totaling $32.1 million mature daily and will remain fully collateralized until the account has been closed or terminated.

 

10. LONG TERM BORROWINGS

 

Long term borrowings consist of $35 million in aggregate principal amount of Old Line Bancshares 5.625% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture and a supplemental indenture, each dated as of August 15, 2016, between Old Line Bancshares and U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee. The Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations of Old Line Bancshares and rank equally with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness currently outstanding or issued in the future. The Notes are subordinated in right of payment of all senior indebtedness. The fair value of the Notes is $34.2 million at March 31, 2019.

 

Also included in long term borrowings are trust preferred subordinated debentures totaling $4.2 million (net of $2.5 million fair value adjustment) at March 31, 2019 acquired in the Regal acquisition. The trust preferred subordinated debentures consists of two trusts – Trust 1 in the amount of $4.0 million (fair value adjustment of $1.4 million) maturing on March 17, 2034 and Trust 2 in the amount of $2.5 million (fair value adjustment $1.1 million) maturing on December 14, 2035.

11. LEASES

 

We have operating leases in which we are the lessee, and such leases are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as operating lease ROU assets in other assets and operating lease liabilities in other liabilities. We are not a party to any significant finance leases pursuant to which we are the lessee.

 

Operating lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease during the lease term. We recognize ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents our incremental collateralized borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. We further adjust ROU assets for lease incentives. We recognize operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and record operating lease expense in net occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.

 

Our leases relate primarily to office space and bank branches with remaining lease terms of generally 1 to 20 years. Certain lease arrangements contain extension options that typically range from 5 to 10 years at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are not generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, we do not include them in the lease term.

 

The tables below summarizes our net lease cost:

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

 

Introduction

 

Some of the matters discussed below include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “intend” or other words of similar meaning. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Our actual results and the actual outcome of our expectations and strategies could be different from those anticipated or estimated for the reasons discussed below and under the heading “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

 

In this report, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “ours” refer to Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary Old Line Bank, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires, and references to the “Bank” refer to Old Line Bank.

 

Overview

 

Old Line Bancshares was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 11, 2003 to serve as the holding company of Old Line Bank.

 

On April 1, 2011, we acquired Maryland Bankcorp, Inc. (“Maryland Bankcorp”), the parent company of Maryland Bank & Trust Company, N.A (“MB&T”), on May 10, 2013, we acquired WSB Holdings, Inc. (“WSB Holdings”), the parent company of The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“WSB”), on December 4, 2015, we acquired Regal Bancorp, Inc. (“Regal”), the parent company of Regal Bank & Trust (“Regal Bank”), on July 28, 2017, we acquired DCB Bancshares, Inc. (“DCB”), the parent company of Damascus Community Bank (“Damascus”), and on April 13, 2018, we acquired Bay Bancorp, Inc. (“BYBK”), the parent company of Bay Bank, FSB. The BYBK acquisition brought our assets to approximately $2.8 billion and we now operate 37 full service branches serving 11 Maryland counties and Baltimore City.

 

Summary of Recent Performance and Other Activities

 

Net income increased $2.4 million, or 40.21%, to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $6.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. Earnings were $0.50 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $0.48 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in net income for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same 2018 period is primarily the result of increases of $5.6 million in net interest income and $968 thousand in non-interest income, partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in non-interest expense.

 

The following highlights contain additional financial data and events that have occurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2019:

 

  Average gross loans increased $697.5 million, or 40.54% to $2.4 billion during the three month period ended March 31, 2019, from $1.7 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in average loans compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 is due to both organic growth and the acquisition of BYBK.
     
  Average yield on total interest earning assets increased to 4.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 4.52% for the same period of 2018.
     
  Return on average assets (“ROAA”) and return on average equity (“ROAE”) were 1.16% and 8.99%, respectively, compared to ROAA and ROAE of 1.16% and 11.36%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2018.
     
  Total assets increased $127.2 million, or 4.31%, during the quarter, primarily due to an increase of $87.3 million in our investment securities available for sale and the addition of $25.9 million for operating lease right of use assets.

  Total deposits grew by $39.4 million, or 1.72%, during the quarter.
     
  We ended the first quarter of 2019 with a book value of $22.29 per common share and a tangible book value of $15.88 per common share compared to $21.77 and $15.39, respectively, at December 31, 2018.
     
  We increased our quarterly dividend by 20% to $0.12 per share during the quarter.
     
  We maintained appropriate levels of liquidity and by all regulatory measures remained “well capitalized.”
     

The following summarizes the highlights of our financial performance for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to same period in 2018 (figures in the table may not match those discussed in the balance of this section due to rounding).

Strategic Plan

 

We have based our strategic plan on the premise of enhancing stockholder value and growth through branching and operating profits. Our short term goals include continuing our strong pattern of organic loan and deposit growth, enhancing and maintaining credit quality, collecting payments on non-accrual and past due loans, profitably disposing of certain acquired loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”), maintaining an attractive branch network, expanding fee income, generating extensions of core banking services, and using technology to maximize stockholder value. During the past few years, we have expanded by acquisition into Baltimore, Carroll, Howard, Harford and Frederick Counties and Baltimore City, Maryland, organically and through acquisitions in Montgomery and Anne Arundel Counties, Maryland, and organically in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

 

We use the Internet and technology to augment our growth plans. Currently, we offer our customers image technology, Internet banking with online account access and bill pay service and mobile banking. We provide selected commercial customers the ability to remotely capture their deposits and electronically transmit them to us. We will continue to evaluate cost effective ways that technology can enhance our management capabilities, products and services.

 

We may continue to take advantage of strategic opportunities presented to us via mergers occurring in our marketplace. For example, we may purchase branches that other banks close or lease branch space from other banks or hire additional loan officers. We also continually evaluate and consider opportunities with financial services companies or institutions with which we may become a strategic partner, merge or acquire. We believe that the BYBK acquisition will continue to generate increased earnings and increased returns for our stockholders, including the former stockholders of BYBK.

Although the current interest rate environment continues to present challenges for our industry, we have worked diligently towards our goal of becoming the premier community bank in Maryland. While we are uncertain about the continued pace of economic growth or the impact of the current political environment, uncertainty regarding recent tariffs imposed and that may be imposed on imports into the United States, and the growing national debt, we remain cautiously optimistic that we have identified any problem assets, that our remaining borrowers will stay current on their loans and that we can continue to grow our balance sheet and earnings.

 

Although the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) has been slowly increasing the federal funds rate (which in turn increases market interest rates) since December 2015, including four times during 2018, interest rates are still low compared to typical interest rates before the 2007-2009 recession. Current expectations indicate that additional rate hikes during 2019 are unlikely and that the Federal Reserve Board may even cut rates at some point during the year. Given the resulting expectation that interest rates will, therefore, remain at historically low levels during 2019, we believe that we can continue to grow total loans during 2019 even if there is a modest slowdown in the economy this year, as some economists have been predicting, although this may not come to fruition if the economy experiences a more severe slowdown than we anticipate. We also believe that we can continue to grow total deposits during 2019 despite the expected continuation of historically low interest rate levels. As a result of this expected growth, we expect that net interest income will continue to increase during 2019, although there can be no guarantee that this will be the case.

 

We also expect that salaries and benefits expenses and occupancy and equipment expenses will be higher for 2019 and going forward generally than they were in 2018 as a result of including the expenses related to the new employees and branches that we acquired in the BYBK merger. Such expenses may increase even further if we selectively take the opportunity to add more business development talent, although we will continue to look for opportunities to reduce expenses. We believe with our existing branches, our lending staff, our corporate infrastructure and our solid balance sheet and strong capital position, we can continue to focus our efforts on improving earnings per share and enhancing stockholder value.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assessments by management, and which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. As discussed in Old Line Bancshares’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we consider our critical accounting policies to be the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, business combinations and accounting for acquired loans. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between income on interest earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Earning assets are comprised primarily of loans, investments, interest bearing deposits and federal funds sold. Cost of funds consists of interest paid on interest bearing deposits and other borrowings. Non-interest bearing deposits and capital are also funding sources. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and funding sources along with changes in associated interest rates determine changes in net interest income.

 

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $5.6 million, or 31.83%, to $23.3 million from $17.7 million for the same period in 2018. As outlined in detail in the Rate/Volume Variance Analysis, this increase was almost entirely due to an increase in loan interest income resulting from increases in both the average balance of and average yield on our loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense resulting primarily from an increase in the average rate on our interest bearing liabilities, all as discussed further below. We continue to adjust the mix and volume of interest earning assets and liabilities on the balance sheet to maintain a relatively strong net interest margin.

Total interest income increased $9.6 million, or 44.95%, to $30.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $21.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, almost entirely as a result of a $9.2 million increase in interest and fees on loans. The increase in interest and fees on loans is the result of a $697.5 million increase in the average balance of our loans, driven primarily by an increase in the average balance of our mortgage loans, and an 18 basis point increase in the average yield on our loan portfolio due to higher yields on new mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, commercial loans. The increase in the average balance of our loans was a result of the loans we acquired in the BYBK acquisition in April 2018 and, to a lesser extent, organic growth.

 

The fair value accretion/amortization on acquired loans affects interest income, primarily due to payoffs on such acquired loans. Payoffs during the three months ended March 31, 2019 contributed a 14 basis point increase in interest income, compared to five basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Total interest expense increased $4.0 million, or 108.68%, to $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $3.6 million for the same period in 2018, primarily as a result of a 50 basis point increase in the average interest rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities, which increased to 1.53% during the three months ended March 31, 2019, from 1.03% during the three months ended March 31, 2018. This increase was due to higher rates paid on our deposits, primarily on our time deposits but also on our money market and NOW accounts. While the average rate paid on our borrowings increased 71 basis points quarter over quarter, primarily as a result of the increased rate paid on our FHLB borrowings, this increase had a much smaller impact on our total interest expense given the relative average balance of our borrowings compared to the average balance of our loans. The increases in the average rates paid on both our deposits and our FHLB borrowings is the result of us paying higher rates as a result of Federal Reserve Board rate increases implemented during 2018.

 

A $572.5 million, or 39.84%, increase in the average balance of our interest bearing liabilities also contributed to the increase in total interest expense. The average balance of our interest bearing liabilities increased to $2.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as a result of increases of $540.3 million, or 44.99%, in our average interest bearing deposits and $32.3 million, or 13.67%, in our average borrowings quarter over quarter. The increase in our average interest bearing deposits is due to the deposits acquired in the BYBK merger and, to a lesser extent, organic deposit growth. The increase in our average borrowings is primarily due to the use of short term FHLB advances to fund new loan originations.

 

Non-interest bearing deposits allow us to fund growth in interest earning assets at minimal cost. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased $107.2 million to $565.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $457.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily as a result of deposits we acquired in the BYBK merger.

 

Our net interest margin decreased to 3.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 3.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The net interest margin decreased due to an increase in the average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by the improvement in the yield on average interest earning assets, which increased 22 basis points from 4.52% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 to 4.74% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as well as an increase in non-interest bearing deposits as a source of funding.

 

The net interest margin during the 2019 period was also affected by the amount of accretion on acquired loans. Accretion increased due to a higher amount of early payoffs on acquired loans with credit marks during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. The fair value accretion/amortization is recorded on pay-downs recognized during the period, which contributed 15 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to seven basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we continued to successfully collect payments on acquired loans that we had recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, which resulted in a positive impact in interest income. Total accretion increased by $671 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period last year. The payments received were a direct result of our efforts to negotiate payments, sell notes or foreclose on and sell collateral after the acquisition date.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $414 thousand, an increase of $19 thousand, or 4.88%, compared to $395 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This increase was due to organic growth in our loan portfolio.

 

Management identified additional probable losses in the loan portfolio and recorded $119 thousand in charge-offs during the three month period ended March 31, 2019, compared to $62 thousand in charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2018. We recognized recoveries of $42 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to recoveries of $4 thousand during the same period in 2018.

 

The allowance for loan losses to gross loans held for investment was 0.32% and 0.31%, and the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans was 147.97% and 160.42%, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans is primarily the result of an increase in our non-accrual loans.

Non-interest Income . Non-interest income totaled $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $968 thousand, or 53.91%, from the corresponding period of 2018 amount of $1.8 million.

Total non-interest income   $ 2,762,779     $ 1,795,021     $ 967,758       53.91 %

 

Non-interest income increased during the 2019 period primarily as a result of income of $600 thousand from our point of sale (“POS”) sponsorship program, which was not in place during the first quarter of 2018, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”). Various other categories of non-interest income also increased quarter over quarter.

 

As a result of the BYBK acquisition, the Bank became a member of the POS network sponsorship program, which allows our customers to access several processing and settlement networks; when our customers use one of these networks, the Bank receives a transaction fee from the network.

 

Earnings on BOLI increased $201 thousand due to the $16.3 million of BOLI acquired in the BYBK acquisition.

 

The $60 thousand increase in service charges on deposit accounts is due to the increase in the Bank’s deposit customers, primarily as a result of the BYBK acquisition.

 

Income on marketable loans consists of gain on the sale of residential mortgage loans originated for sale and any fees we receive in connection with such sales. Income on marketable loans increased $78 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period last year due to an increase in gains recorded on the sale of residential mortgage loans primarily as a result of an increase in the volume of mortgage loans sold in the secondary market, which resulted in an increase in the aggregate amount of premiums we received for such sales. The residential mortgage division sold loans in the secondary market aggregating $27.3 million during the first quarter of 2019 compared to $19.3 million for the same period last year.

 

Other fees and commissions, which consists of other loan fees and the commissions earned on loans increased $34 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in other loan fees compared to the same quarter of last year, which resulted primarily from an increase in renewal fees on letters of credit due to more letters of credit being renewed in the 2019 period.

 

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $3.3 million, or 29.63%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The following table outlines the amounts of and changes in non-interest expenses for the periods.

 

    Three months ended March 31,        
    2019   20118   $ Change   % Change
Salaries and benefits   $ 7,133,583     $ 5,485,450     $ 1,648,133       30.05 %

Network services     114,450       79,205       35,245       44.50  
Telephone     247,030       204,424       42,606       20.84  
Other operating     2,462,305       1,764,396       697,909       39.56  
Total non-interest expenses   $ 14,248,713     $ 10,991,959     $ 3,256,754       29.63 %

 

Non-interest expenses increased quarter over quarter primarily as a result of increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment, core deposit premium amortization, data processing and other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.

 

The $1.6 million increase in salaries and benefits and the $472 thousand increase in occupancy and equipment expenses are primarily due to the additional staff and new branches, respectively, that we acquired in the BYBK merger. Also included in occupancy and equipment is the expense related to the new right of use asset for operating leases incurred in connection with a new accounting standard as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. This expense was approximately $75 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

 

Core deposit premium amortization increased $346 thousand as a result of the higher amortization of premiums resulting from the deposits we acquired in the BYBK acquisition.

 

The $118 thousand increase in data processing expenses resulted primarily from additional customer transactions primarily due to the additional branches, and therefore additional customers, resulting from our acquisition of BYBK.

 

Other operating expenses (which includes, for example, office supplies, software expense, marketing and advertising expenses) increased $698 thousand, primarily as a result of the additional branches and staff we acquired in the BYBK merger.

 

Income Taxes. We had income tax expense of $2.9 million (25.48% of pre-tax income) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to income tax expense of $2.0 million (25.04% of pre-tax income) for the same period in 2018. The effective tax rate increased slightly for the 2019 period primarily as a result increased non-tax exempt earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to same three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Analysis of Financial Condition

 

Investment Securities. Our portfolio consists primarily of investment grade securities including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government sponsored entity securities, corporate bonds, foreign debt securities, securities issued by states, counties and municipalities, MBS, certain equity securities (recorded at cost), Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Maryland Financial Bank stock, and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank stock.

 

We have prudently managed our investment portfolio to maintain liquidity and safety. The portfolio provides a source of liquidity and collateral for borrowings as well as a means of diversifying our earning asset portfolio. While we usually intend to hold the investment securities until maturity, currently we classify all of our investment securities as available for sale. This classification provides us the opportunity to divest of securities that may no longer meet our liquidity objectives. We account for investment securities at fair value and report the unrealized appreciation and depreciation as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of income tax effects. Although we may sell securities to reposition the portfolio, generally, we invest in securities for the yield they produce and not to profit from trading the securities. We continually evaluate our investment portfolio to ensure it is adequately diversified, provides sufficient cash flow and does not subject us to undue interest rate risk. There are no trading securities in our portfolio.

The investment securities at March 31, 2019 amounted to $307.0 million, an increase of $87.3 million, or 39.75%, from the December 31, 2018 amount of $219.7 million. As outlined above, at March 31, 2019, all securities are classified as available for sale.

 

The fair value of available for sale securities included net unrealized losses of $3.8 million at March 31, 2019 (reflected as $2.7 million net of taxes) compared to net unrealized losses of $7.6 million (reflected as $5.5 million net of taxes) at December 31, 2018. The increase in the value of the investment securities is due to the decrease in market interest rates, which resulted in an increase in bond values. We have evaluated securities with unrealized losses for an extended period of time and determined that all such losses are temporary because, at this point in time, we expect to hold them until maturity. We have no intent or plan to sell these securities, it is not likely that we will have to sell these securities and we have not identified any portion of the loss that is a result of credit deterioration in the issuer of the security. As the maturity date moves closer and/or interest rates decline, any unrealized losses in the portfolio will decline or dissipate.

 

Loan Portfolio. Net of allowance, unearned fees and origination costs, loans held for investment increased $8.0 million, or 0.33%, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, remaining at $2.4 billion at March 31, 2019. The loan growth during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was a result of net organic growth of $36.8 million, primarily due to new commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loan originations, partially offset by $28.9 million in paydowns on previously acquired loans. Commercial real estate loans increased by $3.3 million, residential real estate loans increased by $527 thousand, commercial and industrial loans increased by $8.2 million, and consumer loans decreased by $4.1 million from their respective balances at December 31, 2018.

 

Most of our lending activity occurs within the state of Maryland in the suburban Washington, D.C. and Baltimore market areas of Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s Counties. The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans.

_______________________

(1) As a result of the acquisitions of Maryland Bankcorp, WSB Holdings, Regal, DCB and BYBK, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, “Legacy” loans originated by Old Line Bank and “Acquired” loans acquired from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus and Bay Bank.

 

Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) . At March 31, 2019, we have invested $68.3 million in life insurance policies on our executive officers, other officers of Old Line Bank, retired officers of MB&T and former officers of WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus and Bay Bank. Bank owned life insurance increased $413 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase also includes interest earned on these policies. Gross earnings on BOLI were $494 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2019, which earnings were partially offset by $78 thousand in expenses associated with the policies, for total net earnings of $413 thousand in 2019. We anticipate that the earnings on these policies will continue to help offset our employee benefit expenses as well as our obligations under our salary continuation agreements and supplemental life insurance agreements that we have entered into with our executive officers and that MB&T and WSB had entered into with their executive officers. There are no post-retirement death benefits associated with the BOLI policies owned by Old Line Bank prior to the acquisition of MB&T. We have accrued a $196 thousand liability associated with the post-retirement death benefits of the BOLI policies acquired from MB&T and there are no such benefits related to the BOLI policies acquired from WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus or Bay Bank.

 

Annuity Plan . Our annuity plan is an interest earning investment that we purchased to fund a new supplemental retirement plan and amendments to existing retirement plans that will provide lifetime payments to two of our executive officers. We invested $6.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2017 and the annuity plan was effective January 1, 2018. The annuity plan was valued at $6.3 million at March 31, 2019.

 

Deposits . Deposits increased $39.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, remaining at $2.3 billion at March 31, 2019. This increase is comprised of a $20.9 million increase in our non-interest bearing deposits and an $18.5 million increase in our interest bearing deposits.

The following table outlines the changes in interest bearing deposits:

 

    March 31,
2019
  December 31,
2018
  $ Change   % Change
    (Dollars in thousands)
Certificates of deposit   $ 868,364     $ 865,255     $ 3,109       0.36 %
Interest bearing checking     672,175       657,061       15,114       2.30  
Savings     214,934       214,673       261       0.12  
Total   $ 1,755,473     $ 1,736,989     $ 18,484       1.06 %

 

We acquire brokered certificates of deposit and money market accounts through the Promontory Interfinancial Network (“Promontory”). Through this deposit matching network and its certificate of deposit account registry service (“CDARS”) and money market account service, we have the ability to offer our customers access to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insured deposit products in aggregate amounts exceeding current insurance limits. When we place funds through Promontory on behalf of a customer, we receive matching deposits through the network’s reciprocal deposit program. We can also place deposits through this network without receiving matching deposits. At March 31, 2019, we had $38.8 million in CDARS and $190.3 million in money market accounts through Promontory’s reciprocal deposit program compared to $47.9 million and $168.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

 

We do not currently have any brokered certificates of deposits other than CDARS. Old Line Bank did not obtain any brokered certificates of deposit during the three months ended March 31, 2019. We may, however, use brokered deposits in the future as an element of our funding strategy if and when required to maintain an acceptable loan to deposit ratio.

 

Borrowings. Short term borrowings consist of short term borrowings with the FHLB and short term promissory notes issued to Old Line Bank’s commercial customers as an enhancement to the basic non-interest bearing demand deposit account. This service electronically sweeps excess funds from the customer’s account into a short term promissory note with Old Line Bank. These obligations are payable on demand and are secured by investments. At March 31, 2019, we had $250.0 million outstanding in short term FHLB borrowings, compared to $190.0 million at December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no unsecured promissory notes and $32.1 million and $38.2 million, respectively, in secured promissory notes.

 

Long term borrowings at March 31, 2019 consist primarily of the Notes in the amount of $35.0 million (fair value of $34.2 million) due in 2026. The initial interest rate on the Notes is 5.625% per annum from August 15, 2016 to August 14, 2021, payable semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15. Beginning August 15, 2021, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month LIBOR rate plus 450.2 basis points, payable quarterly on each February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 through maturity or early redemption. Also included in long term borrowings are trust preferred subordinated debentures totaling $4.0 million (net of $2.5 million fair value adjustment) that we acquired in the Regal acquisition. The trust preferred subordinated debentures consists of two trusts – Trust 1 in the amount of $4.0 million (fair value adjustment of $1.4 million) with an interest rate of floating 90-day LIBOR plus 2.85%, maturing in 2034 and Trust 2 in the amount of $2.5 million (fair value adjustment $1.1 million) with an interest rate of floating 90-day LIBOR plus 1.60%, maturing in 2035.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources . Our overall asset/liability strategy takes into account our need to maintain adequate liquidity to fund asset growth and deposit runoff. Our management monitors the liquidity position daily in conjunction with regulatory guidelines. As further discussed below, we have credit lines, unsecured and secured, available from several correspondent banks totaling $70.0 million. Additionally, we may borrow funds from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. We can use these credit facilities in conjunction with the normal deposit strategies, which include pricing changes to increase deposits as necessary. We can also sell available for sale investment securities or pledge investment securities as collateral to create additional liquidity. From time to time we may sell or participate out loans to create additional liquidity as required. Additional sources of liquidity include funds held in time deposits and cash flow from the investment and loan portfolios.

 

46

 

 

Our immediate sources of liquidity are cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and deposits in other banks. On March 31, 2019 we had $49.6 million in cash and due from banks, $2.1 million in interest bearing accounts, and $961 thousand in federal funds sold. As of December 31, 2018, we had $41.5 million in cash and due from banks, $2.1 million in interest bearing accounts, and $954 thousand in federal funds sold.

 

Old Line Bank has sufficient liquidity to meet its loan commitments as well as fluctuations in deposits. We usually retain maturing certificates of deposit as we offer competitive rates on certificates of deposit. Management is not aware of any demands, trends, commitments, or events that would result in Old Line Bank’s inability to meet anticipated or unexpected liquidity needs.

 

We did not have any unusual liquidity requirements during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Although we plan for various liquidity scenarios, if turmoil in the financial markets occurs and our depositors lose confidence in us, we could experience liquidity issues.

 

Old Line Bancshares has available a $5.0 million unsecured line of credit at March 31, 2019. In addition, Old Line Bank has $65.0 million in available lines of credit at March 31, 2019, consisting of overnight federal funds from its correspondent banks. Old Line Bank has an additional secured line of credit from the FHLB of $633.4 million at March 31, 2019. As a condition of obtaining the line of credit from the FHLB, the FHLB requires that Old Line Bank purchase shares of capital stock in the FHLB. Prior to allowing Old Line Bank to borrow under the line of credit, the FHLB also requires that Old Line Bank provide collateral to support borrowings. Therefore, we have provided collateral to support up to $454.5 million in lendable collateral value for FHLB borrowings. We may increase availability by providing additional collateral. Additionally, we have overnight repurchase agreements sold to Old Line Bank’s customers and have provided collateral in the form of investment securities to support the $32.1 million in repurchase agreements.

 

The FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board have adopted risk-based capital rules for banking organizations. These rules require ratios of capital to assets for minimum capital adequacy and to be classified as well capitalized under prompt corrective action provisions. Under these rules, a bank is considered “well capitalized” if it: (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater; (iii) a common Tier 1 equity ratio of at least 6.5% or greater; (iv) a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or greater; and (v) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.

 

Additionally, the rules limit a banking organization’s ability to make capital distributions, engage in share repurchases, and pay certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The minimum ratios including the buffer are: (i) (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5%; (iii) a common Tier 1 equity ratio of 7.0%. The buffer does not apply to the Tier 1 leverage capital ratio.

 

As of March 31, 2019, Old Line Bancshares’ capital levels were such that it remained characterized as “well capitalized” under the rules.

Current regulations require subsidiaries of a financial institution to be separately capitalized and require investments in and extensions of credit to any subsidiary engaged in activities not permissible for a bank to be deducted in the computation of the institution’s regulatory capital. Regulatory capital and regulatory assets below also reflect increases of $3.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which represents unrealized losses (after-tax for capital additions and pre-tax for asset additions, respectively) on MBS and investment securities classified as available for sale. In addition, the risk-based capital reflects an increase of $7.8 million for the general loan loss reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

As of March 31, 2019, Old Line Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to be considered well capitalized. There were no conditions or events since the end of the first quarter of 2019 that management believes have changed Old Line Bank’s classification as well capitalized.

The following table shows Old Line Bank’s regulatory capital ratios and the minimum capital ratios currently required by its banking regulator to be “well capitalized” at March 31, 2019.

 

    Actual   Minimum capital
adequacy(1)
  To be well
capitalized(2)
March 31, 2019   Amount   Ratio   Amount   Ratio   Amount   Ratio
    (Dollars in 000’s)
Common equity tier 1 (to risk-weighted assets)   $ 303,514       11.40 %   $ 119,830       4.5 %   $ 173,088       6.5 %
Total capital (to risk weighted assets)   $ 311,397       11.69 %   $ 213,032       8 %   $ 266,290       10 %
Tier 1 capital (to risk weighted assets)   $ 303,514       11.40 %   $ 159,774       6 %   $ 213,032       8 %
Tier 1 leverage (to average assets)   $ 303,514       10.62 %   $ 114,367       4 %   $ 142,959       5 %

_______________________

(1) Does not include the capital conservation buffer of 2.5% that is added on top of each of the minimum risk-based capital ratios noted above other than the Tier leverage (to average assets) ratio.

 

Our management believes that, under current regulations, and eliminating the assets of Old Line Bancshares, Old Line Bank remains well capitalized and will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond our control, such as a shift in interest rates or an economic downturn in areas where we extend credit, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, our ability to meet minimum capital requirements in the future.

 

Asset Quality

 

Overview . Management performs reviews of all delinquent loans and foreclosed assets and directs relationship officers to work with customers to resolve potential credit issues in a timely manner. Management reports to the Bank’s Loan Committee weekly and requests its approval for loans that require such approval pursuant to our loan policies. Management also reports to the board of directors with respect to certain loan matters on a monthly basis. Such reports include, among other things, information on delinquent loans and foreclosed real estate. We have formal action plans on criticized assets and provide status reports on OREO on a quarterly basis. These action plans include our actions and plans to cure the delinquent status of the loans and to dispose of foreclosed properties. The Loan Committee consists of four executive officers and four non-employee members of the board of directors.

 

We classify any property acquired as a result of foreclosure on a mortgage loan as OREO and record it at the lower of the unpaid principal balance or fair value at the date of acquisition and subsequently carry the property at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We charge any required write down of the loan to its net realizable value against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure. We charge to expense any subsequent adjustments to net realizable value. Upon foreclosure, Old Line Bank generally requires an appraisal of the property and, thereafter, appraisals of the property generally on an annual basis and external inspections on at least a quarterly basis.

 

As required by ASC Topic 310- Receivables and ASC Topic 450- Contingencies , we measure all impaired loans, which consist of all modified loans (TDRs) and other loans for which collection of all contractual principal and interest is not probable, based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, we recognize impairment through a valuation allowance and corresponding provision for loan losses. Old Line Bank considers consumer loans as homogenous loans and thus does not apply the impairment test to these loans. We write off impaired loans when collection of the loan is doubtful.

 

Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well-defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of a borrower has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms. These loans do not meet the criteria for, and are therefore not included in, nonperforming assets. Management, however, classifies potential problem loans as either special mention, watch, or substandard. These loans were considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and are closely and regularly monitored to protect our interests. Potential problem loans, which are not included in nonperforming assets, amounted to $24.4 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $26.2 million at December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019, we had $11.8 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of potential problem loans attributable to our legacy and acquired loan portfolios, compared to $13.0 million and $13.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

Acquired Loans . Loans acquired in mergers are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. U.S. GAAP requires that we record acquired loans at fair value, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet our definition of a nonperforming loan. The discounts that arise from recording these loans at fair value were due to credit quality. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we may accrete these discounts to interest income as a result of pre-payments that exceed our expectations or payment in full of amounts due. Purchased, credit-impaired loans that perform consistent with the accretable yield expectations are not reported as non-accrual or nonperforming.

 

We recorded at fair value all acquired loans from MB&T, WSB, Regal Bank, Damascus and Bay Bank. The fair value of the acquired loans includes expected loan losses, and as a result there was no allowance for loan losses recorded for acquired loans at the time of acquisition. Accordingly, the existence of the acquired loans reduces the ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total gross loans and the allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans, and this measure is not directly comparable to prior periods. Similarly, net loan charge-offs are normally lower for acquired loans since we recorded these loans net of expected loan losses. Therefore, the ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding is reduced as a result of the existence of acquired loans, and the measures are not directly comparable to prior periods. Other institutions may not have acquired loans, and therefore there may be no direct comparability of these ratios between and among other institutions when compared in total.

 

Applicable accounting guidance requires that if we experience a decrease in the expected cash flows of a loan subsequent to its acquisition date, we establish an allowance for loan losses for such acquired loan with decreased cash flows. At March 31, 2019, there was $358 thousand of allowance reserved for potential loan losses on acquired loans compared to $466 thousand at December 31, 2018.

 

Nonperforming Assets . As of March 31, 2019, our nonperforming assets totaled $7.4 million and consisted of $5.3 million of nonaccrual loans, $1.3 million of loans past due 90 days and still accruing and OREO of $883 thousand.

_______________________

(1) U.S. GAAP requires that we record acquired loans at fair value, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet our definition of a nonperforming loan. The discounts that arise from recording these loans at fair value were due to credit quality. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we may accrete these discounts to interest income as a result of pre-payments that exceed our cash flow expectations or payment in full of amounts due even though we classify them as 90 or more days past due.

 

Non-accrual legacy loans at March 31, 2019 increased $645 thousand from December 31, 2018, due primarily to the addition of one commercial real estate loan in the amount of $577 thousand.

 

Non-accrual acquired loans at March 31, 2019 decreased $25 thousand from December 31, 2018 due to two consumer loans that were charged off.

 

At March 31, 2019, there was no legacy OREO. Acquired OREO was $883 thousand at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses . We review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. Our review includes evaluation of impaired loans as required by ASC Topic 310- Receivables , and ASC Topic 450- Contingencies . Also incorporated in determining the adequacy of the allowance is guidance contained in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102, Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Policy Statement on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodologies and Documentation for Banks and Savings Institutions, and the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. We also continue to measure the credit impairment at each period end on all loans that have been classified as a TDR using the guidance in ASC 310-10-35.

 

We have in place risk management practices designed to ensure timely identification of changes in loan risk profiles. Undetected losses, however, inherently exist within the portfolio. Although we may allocate specific portions of the allowance for specific loans or other factors, the entire allowance is available for any loans that we should charge off. We will not create a specific valuation allowance for a loan unless we consider the loan impaired.

The ratios of the allowance for loan losses are as follows at the dates indicated:

 

    March 31, 2019   December 31, 2018
Ratio of allowance for loan losses to:                
Total gross loans held for investment     0.32 %     0.31 %
Non-accrual loans     147.97 %     160.42 %
Net charge-offs to average loans     0.00 %     0.01 %

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we charged off $119 thousand in loans through the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses represented 0.32% and 0.31% of gross loans held for investment at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively and 0.46% and 0.45% of legacy loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We have no exposure to foreign countries or foreign borrowers. Based on our analysis and the satisfactory historical performance of the loan portfolio, we believe this allowance appropriately reflects the inherent risk of loss in our portfolio.

 

Overall, we continue to believe that the loan portfolio remains manageable in terms of charge-offs and nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans. We remain diligent and aware of our credit costs and the impact that these can have on our financial institution, and we have taken proactive measures to identify problem loans, including in-house and independent review of larger transactions. Our policy for evaluating problem loans includes obtaining new certified real estate appraisals as needed. We continue to monitor and review frequently the overall asset quality within the loan portfolio.

 

C ontractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Old Line Bancshares is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Old Line Bancshares uses these financial instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. These commitments do not represent unusual risks and management does not anticipate any losses that would have a material effect on Old Line Bancshares.

 

Outstanding loan commitments and lines and letters of credit at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are as follows:

 

    March 31, 2019   December 31, 2018
    (Dollars in thousands)
         
Commitments to extend credit and available credit lines:                
Commercial   $ 190,146     $ 198,969  
Real estate-undisbursed development and construction     216,197       232,680  
Consumer     79,610       77,780  
Total   $ 485,953     $ 509,429  
Standby letters of credit   $ 18,573     $ 17,513  

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Old Line Bancshares generally requires collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk on the same basis as it does for on balance sheet instruments. The collateral is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Commitments generally have interest rates fixed at current market rates, expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Available credit lines represent the unused portion of lines of credit previously extended and available to the customer so long as there is no violation of any contractual condition. These lines generally have variable interest rates. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, and since it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines of credit in full at any time, the total commitment amount or line of credit amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case by case basis. We regularly reevaluate many of our commitments to extend credit. Because we conservatively underwrite these facilities at inception, we generally do not have to withdraw any commitments. We are not aware of any loss that we would incur by funding our commitments or lines of credit.

 

Commitments for real estate development and construction, which totaled $190.1 million, or 39.13% of the $486.0 million of outstanding commitments at March 31, 2019 are generally short term and turn over rapidly with principal repayment from permanent financing arrangements upon completion of construction or from sales of the properties financed.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the customer is the contract amount of the commitment. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. In general, loan commitments, credit lines and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including with respect to collateral, as outstanding loans. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness and the collateral required on a case by case basis.

Non-GAAP financial measures included in this quarterly report should be read along with these tables providing a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be consider as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under U.S. GAAP, and investors should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP.

 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

Management has prepared the financial statements and related data presented herein in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

 

Unlike industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, and may frequently reflect government policy initiatives or economic factors not measured by a price index. As discussed above, we strive to manage our interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to offset the effects of rate changes and inflation.

Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We may also include forward-looking statements in other statements that we make. All statements that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “intend” or other words of similar meaning. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.

 

The forward-looking statements presented herein with respect to, among other things: (a) our objectives, expectations and intentions, including (i) that, going forward, the BYBK acquisition will continue to generate increased earnings and increased returns for our stockholders, (ii) anticipated increases in certain non-interest expenses for 2019 and that net interest income will continue to increase during 2019, (iii) the amount of potential problem loans, (iv) our belief that we have identified any problem assets and that our borrowers will continue to remain current on their loans, (v) expected losses on and our intentions with respect to our investment securities, (vi) continued earnings on bank owned life insurance, (vii) expanding fee income and generating extensions of core banking services, (viii) hiring and acquisition possibilities, (b) sources of and sufficiency of liquidity; (c) the impact of outstanding off-balance sheet commitments; (d) the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; (e) expected loan, deposit, balance sheet and earnings growth; (f)  expectations with respect to the impact of pending legal proceedings; (g) the anticipated impact of recent accounting pronouncements; (h) continuing to meet regulatory capital requirements; (i) improving earnings per share and stockholder value; and (j) financial and other goals and plans.

 

Old Line Bancshares bases these statements on our beliefs, assumptions and on information available to us as of the date of this filing, which involves risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: our ability to retain key personnel; our ability to successfully implement our growth and expansion strategy; risk of loan losses; that the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient; that changes in interest rates and monetary policy could adversely affect Old Line Bancshares; that changes in regulatory requirements and/or restrictive banking legislation may adversely affect Old Line Bancshares; that the market value of our investments could negatively impact stockholders’ equity; risks associated with our lending limit; expenses associated with operating as a public company; potential conflicts of interest associated with our interest in Pointer Ridge; deterioration in general economic conditions or a return to recessionary conditions; and changes in competitive, governmental, regulatory, technological and other factors that may affect us specifically or the banking industry generally; and other risks otherwise discussed in this report.

 

For a more complete discussion of some of these risks and uncertainties referred to above, see “Risk Factors” in Old Line Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Old Line Bancshares’ actual results and the actual outcome of our expectations and strategies could differ materially from those anticipated or estimated because of these risks and uncertainties and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this filing, and Old Line Bancshares undertakes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect factual assumptions, circumstances or events that have changed after we have made the forward-looking statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. Various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices, may cause these changes. We are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on our portfolio of assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices do not pose significant market risk to us. Due to the nature of our operations, only interest rate risk is significant to our consolidated results of operations or financial position. We have no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk as of March 31, 2019 from that presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis and Interest Rate Risk Management

 

A principal objective of Old Line Bank’s asset/liability management policy is to minimize exposure to changes in interest rates by an ongoing review of the maturity and re-pricing of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

 

The tables below present Old Line Bank’s interest rate sensitivity at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Because certain categories of securities and loans are prepaid before their maturity date even without regard to interest rate fluctuations, we have made certain assumptions to calculate the expected maturity of securities and loans.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Old Line Bancshares’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of Old Line Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, Old Line Bancshares’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Old Line Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2019. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Old Line Bancshares in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

In addition, there were no changes in Old Line Bancshares’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Old Line Bancshares’ internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our normal course of business. Currently, we are not involved in any legal proceedings the outcome of which, in management’s opinion, would be material to our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The risk factor entitled “Our profitability depends on interest rates and changes in monetary policy may impact us” as set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, is updated as set forth below. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors from those disclosed in the Form 10-K.

 

57

 

 

Our profitability depends on interest rates and changes in monetary policy may impact us. Our results of operations depends to a large extent on our “net interest income,” which is the difference between the interest income received from our interest earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest expense incurred in connection with our interest bearing liabilities, such as interest on deposit accounts. Interest rates, because they are influenced by, among other things, expectations about future events, including the level of economic activity, federal monetary and fiscal policy, and geopolitical stability, are not predictable or controllable. Additionally, competitive factors heavily influence the interest rates we can earn on our loan and investment portfolios and the interest rates we pay on our deposits. Community banks are often at a competitive disadvantage in managing their cost of funds compared to the large regional, super-regional or national banks that have access to the national and international capital markets. These factors influence our ability to maintain a stable net interest margin.

 

We seek to maintain a neutral position in terms of the volume of assets and liabilities that mature or reprice during any period so that we may reasonably predict our net interest margin. Interest rate fluctuations, loan prepayments, loan production and deposit flows, however, are constantly changing and influence our ability to maintain this neutral position. Generally speaking, our earnings are more sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates the greater the variance in the volume of assets and liabilities that mature and reprice in any period. The extent and duration of the sensitivity will depend on the cumulative variance over time, the velocity and direction of interest rates, and whether we are more asset than liability sensitive. Accordingly, we may not be successful in maintaining this neutral position and, as a result, our net interest margin may suffer.

 

Furthermore, the Federal Reserve Board, in an attempt to help the overall economy, has among other things kept interest rates low through its targeted federal funds rate and the purchase of U.S. Treasury and mortgage-backed securities. Although such an increase is not currently considered likely, if the Federal Reserve Board continues to increase the federal funds rate in the near term, overall interest rates will likely rise, which may negatively impact the housing markets and the U.S. economic growth. In addition, an increase in interest rates may, among other things, reduce loan demand and our ability to originate loans (which would also decrease our ability to generate non-interest income through the sale of loans into the secondary market), and make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable-rate loans or otherwise decrease loan repayment rates. Further, as market interest rates rise, we may experience competitive pressures to increase the rates we pay on deposits. Because interest rates we pay on our deposits could be expected to increase more quickly than the increase in the yields we earn on our interest-earning assets, our net interest income would be adversely affected. In addition, deflationary pressures, while possibly lowering our operating costs, could have a negative impact on our borrowers, especially our business borrowers, and the values of collateral securing our loans, which could negatively affect our financial performance.

 

We also are subject to reinvestment risk associated with changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect the average life of loans and mortgage-related securities. Decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance to reduce borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk to the extent that we are unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments at rates that are comparable to the interest rates on existing loans and securities.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

_______________________

(1) On November 28, 2018, Old Line Bancshares’ board of directors approved the repurchase of up to 850,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. This repurchase approval replaces the previous authorization for Old Line Bancshares to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its common stock, approved in February 2015, pursuant to which there were 160,763 shares remaining available to be repurchased, which prior authorization was terminated upon approval of the new repurchase authorization. As of March 31, 2019, 18,438 shares had been repurchased under the current authorization at an average price of $24.87 per share or a total cost of approximately $458 thousand.

Exhibit 10.1

 

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of this 15 th day of April 2019, by and between OLD LINE BANK, a Maryland-chartered trust company exercising the powers of a commercial bank (the "Bank" or "Employer"), and William J. Bush, a resident of the State of Maryland (the "Employee").

 

WHEREAS Employee has been employed by Employer since April 30, 2007; and

 

WHEREAS the Employer and the Employee desire to memorialize the terms of Employee ' s employment herein.

On September 30 2019 and on each succeeding consecutive March 31st and September 30th (each an "Anniversary Date") while this Agreement is in effect, the Term shall be automatically extended for a period of six months unless the Employer or the Employee informs the other at least 60 days prior to such Anniversary Date of their decision to not renew.

 

3.                 Compensation. The Employee's salary under this Agreement shall be $250,000 per annum , payable on a bi-weekly basis ("Base Salary"). The Employee's Base Salary will be reviewed by the Board of Directors annually, and the Employee w ill be entitled to receive annually an increase in such amount, if any , as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

 

4. Duties.

 

A.                During the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall serve as Executive Vice President of Commercial Lending.

In furtherance of this commitment, the Employee shall disclose all positions he holds with other organizations and any ownership interests he has in other business entities where he may influence or control management decisions. Such disclosures shall be made at the commencement of the Employee's employment and from time-to-time throughout his employment where his circumstances have changed to make such a disclosure appropriate.

A.                 Termination of Employment. Any payments due under this Agreement that are contingent upon the Employee's "termination of employment" will not be paid unless and until the Employee incurs a "separation from service" as set forth under Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Therefore, in the event this Subsection (B) is applicable to the Employee, any distribution of deferred compensation that would otherwise be paid to the Employee within the first six months following the termination of employment shall be accumulated and paid to the Employee in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the termination. All subsequent distributions shall be paid in the manner specified.

A.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan , arrangement or agreement to the contrary , if any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Bank or its affiliates to the Employee or for the Employee's benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise ("Covered Payments") constitute parachute payments ("Parachute Payments") within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would , but for this Section 12 , be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the "Excise Tax"), then prior to making the Covered Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the Net Benefit (as defined below) to the Employee of the Covered Payments after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit payable to the Employee if the Covered Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount under (ii) above will the Covered Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax (that amount, the "Reduced Amount"). ''Net Benefit" shall mean the present value of the Covered Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment and excise taxes.

C.    Any determination required under this Section 12, including whether any payments or benefits are p a r ac hut e payments , shall be made by the Bank in its sole discretion. The Employee shall provide the Bank with such information and documents as the Bank may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 12 . The Bank's determination shall be final and binding on the Employee.

 

D.     It is possible that after the determinations and selections made pursuant to this Section 12 the Employee will receive Covered Payments that are in the aggregate more than the amount pro vid ed under this Section 12 ("Overpayment") or less than the amount provided under this Section 12 ("Underpayment") .

 

i.                    In the event that it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service proceeding that has been finally and conclusively resolved that an Overpayment has been made, then the Employee shall pay any such Overpayment to the Bank together with interest at the applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code) from the date of the Employee's receipt of the Overpayment until the date of repayment.

 

9

 

 

ii.                    In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that an U nderpayment has occurred , any such Underpayment will be paid promptly by the Bank to or for the benefit of the Employee together with interest at the applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code) from the date the amount would have otherwise been paid to the Employee until the payment date.

 

13.                 Withholding. The Employer may withhold from any amounts payable hereunder such Federal , state , local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

 

14.                  Applicable Law . This Agreement will be construed and enforced under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland.

17.                  No Set-off by the Employee. The existence of any claim, demand , action or cause of action by the Employee against the Employer, or any affiliate of the Employer , whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Employer of any of its rights hereunder.
