Exhibit 4.2
DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
The following description sets forth certain material terms and provisions of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s securities that are registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As of the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this exhibit is a part, the registrant has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act: Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock, par value $2.00 per share.
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
Wilson Bank Holding Company has the authority to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock. As of March 12, 2020, 10,888,997 shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock were outstanding.
The following summary of the common stock of Wilson Bank Holding Company and certain provisions of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s charter, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, and certain provisions of applicable law, does not purport to be complete and is qualified by applicable law and by the provisions of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s charter, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, of which this exhibit is a part.
Common Stock
The holders of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by shareholders, including the election of directors. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock.
Anti-Takeover Effect of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s Charter and Bylaw Provisions
Wilson Bank Holding Company’s charter and bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult to consummate an acquisition of Wilson Bank Holding Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise.
Board of Directors. Wilson Bank Holding Company’s bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be no fewer than five nor more than 15. The Wilson Bank Holding Company charter and bylaws provide that the directors will be classified into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible with each class to serve for staggered three year terms. Under the Wilson Bank Holding Company bylaws, the shareholders may remove one or more directors with or without cause. If a director is elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove him without cause. The Wilson Bank Holding Company bylaws provides that if so provided in the Wilson Bank Holding Company charter, any of the directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire board of directors; however, such a method of removal is not provided for in the Wilson Bank Holding Company charter. A director may be removed by the shareholders or directors only at a meeting called for the purpose of removing him, and the meeting notice must state the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is the removal of directors. Directors may be removed without cause only by vote of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote at a regular or special meeting. The Wilson Bank Holding Company charter provides that any vacancy on the board of directors, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy that results from the removal of a director with cause, may be filled only by the board of directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next annual meeting following his or her election to the board of directors at which time such person will be subject to election and classification. Under the Wilson Bank Holding Company bylaws, if the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the board of directors, they may fill such vacancies by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office.
Charter Provisions. The Wilson Bank Holding Company charter provides that the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provision as part of the charter or as part of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s bylaws inconsistent with the purpose and intent of Article 8 of the charter, which creates staggered terms for the board of directors.
Tennessee’s Anti-takeover Provisions
Provisions in Tennessee law could make it harder for someone to acquire Wilson Bank Holding Company through a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
Tennessee Business Combination Act. The Tennessee Business Combination Act provides that a party owning shares equal to 10% or more of the voting power of any class or series of the then outstanding voting stock of a “resident domestic corporation” is an “interested shareholder.” An interested shareholder also includes a party that is an affiliate or associate, as defined in the Tennessee Business Combination Act, of a “resident domestic corporation.” Wilson Bank Holding Company is currently a resident domestic corporation within the meaning of this act. An interested shareholder cannot engage in a business combination with the resident domestic corporation unless the combination:
|
• |
takes place at least five years after the interested shareholder first acquired 10% or more of the voting power of any class or series of the then outstanding voting stock of the resident domestic corporation; and |
||
|
||||
|
• |
either is approved by at least two-thirds of the non-interested voting shares of the resident domestic corporation or satisfies fairness conditions specified in the Tennessee Business Combination Act. |
These provisions apply unless one of the following exemptions is available:
|
• |
a business combination with an entity can proceed without delay when approved by the target corporation’s board of directors before that entity becomes an interested shareholder; |
||
|
||||
|
• |
a business combination is exempt, if in its original charter or original bylaws, the resident domestic corporation elects not to be governed by the Tennessee Business Combination Act; |
||
|
||||
|
• |
unless the charter of the resident domestic corporation provides otherwise, the Tennessee Business Combination Act does not apply to a business combination of a resident domestic corporation with, or proposed by or on behalf of, an interested shareholder if the resident domestic corporation did not have, on such interested shareholder’s share acquisition date, a class of voting stock registered or traded on a national securities exchange or registered with the securities and exchange commission pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act; or |
||
|
||||
|
• |
the resident corporation may enact a charter or bylaw amendment to remove itself entirely from the Tennessee Business Combination Act that must be approved by a majority of the shareholders who have held shares for more than one year before the vote and which cannot become operative until two years after the vote. |
Wilson Bank Holding Company has not adopted a charter amendment or bylaw to remove it from the Tennessee Business Combination Act.
Tennessee Greenmail Act. The Tennessee Greenmail Act prohibits Wilson Bank Holding Company from purchasing or agreeing to purchase any of its securities, at a price higher than fair market value, from a holder of 3% or more of any class of its securities who has beneficially owned the securities for less than two years. Wilson Bank Holding Company can, however, make this purchase if the majority of the outstanding shares of each class of voting stock issued by it approves the purchase or if it makes an offer of at least equal value per share to all holders of shares of the same class of securities as those held by the prospective seller.
Tennessee Control Share Acquisition Act. The Tennessee Control Share Acquisition Act strips a purchaser’s shares of voting rights any time an acquisition of shares in a Tennessee corporation which has elected to be covered by the Tennessee Control Share Acquisition Act (which Wilson Bank Holding Company at this time has not) brings the purchaser’s voting power to one-fifth, one-third or a majority of all voting power. The purchaser’s voting rights can be restored only by a majority vote of the other shareholders. The purchaser may demand a meeting of shareholders to conduct such a vote. The purchaser can demand a meeting for this purpose before acquiring shares in excess of the thresholds described above, which we refer to as a control share acquisition, only if it holds at least 10% of the outstanding shares and announces a good faith intention to make the acquisition of shares having voting power in excess of the thresholds stated above. If a target corporation so elects prior to the date on which a purchaser makes a control share acquisition, a target corporation may redeem the purchaser’s shares if the shares are not granted voting rights.
The effect of these provisions may make a change of control of Wilson Bank Holding Company harder by delaying, deferring or preventing a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider to be in your best interest, including those attempts that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for Wilson Bank Holding Company’s shares. They may also promote the continuity of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s management by making it harder for you to remove or change the incumbent members of the board of directors.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Tennessee Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify any of its directors and officers against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding if:
|
• |
the director or officer acted in good faith; |
||
|
||||
|
• |
in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, the director or officer reasonably believed such conduct was in the corporation’s best interest; |
||
|
• |
in all other cases, the director or officer reasonably believed that his or her conduct was not opposed to the best interest of the corporation; and |
||
|
||||
|
• |
in connection with any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. |
In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however, the Tennessee Business Corporation Act provides that no indemnification may be made if the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the corporation. In cases where the director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding instituted because of his or her status as an officer or director of a corporation, the Tennessee Business Corporation Act mandates that the corporation indemnify the director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding. The Tennessee Business Corporation Act also provides that in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to an officer or director, no indemnification may be made if the officer or director is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tennessee Business Corporation Act provides that a court of competent jurisdiction, upon application, may order that an officer or director be indemnified for reasonable expenses if, in consideration of all relevant circumstances, the court determines that the individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, notwithstanding the fact that:
|
• |
the officer or director was adjudged liable to the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation; |
||
|
||||
|
• |
the officer or director was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her; or |
||
|
||||
|
• |
the officer or director breached his or her duty of care to the corporation. |
Wilson Bank Holding Company’s charter provides that to the extent permitted by the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, the company may indemnify every officer, director or employee, his heirs, executors and administrators, against judgments resulting from the expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action to which he may be made a party by reason of his being an officer, director or employee of the company, including any action based upon any alleged act or omission on his part as an officer, director or employee of the company, except in relation to matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in such action to be liable for negligence or misconduct. Under the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, this provision relieves Wilson Bank Holding Company’s directors from personal liability to it or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability arising from a judgment or other final adjudication establishing:
|
• |
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty; |
||
|
||||
|
• |
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or |
||
|
||||
|
• |
any unlawful distributions. |

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND VALUATION OF ACCOUNT
2.1. Annuity Contract and Other Investments. For purposes of satisfying its obligations to provide benefits under this Plan, the Bank has initially invested in the Annuity Contract and may invest in other investments. However, nothing in this Section shall require the Bank to invest in any particular form of investment.
2.2. Ownership of the Annuity Contract. The Bank is the sole owner of the Annuity Contract, and other such investments, and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership.

ARTICLE 3
RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFITS
3.1. Normal Retirement Benefit. Upon the Executive’s Separation from Service on or after reaching Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than death or Disability, the Executive will be entitled to the monthly benefit payment described in this paragraph 3.1. The amount of the monthly benefit will equal the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract designated under this Plan to benefit the Executive through the Rider (the “Normal Retirement Benefit”). The Normal Retirement Benefit will be payable in equal monthly installments for the life of the Executive commencing on the first (1st) day of the second month following the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date. This shall be the Executive’s benefit in lieu of any other benefit under this Plan.
3.2. Other Separation from Service. In the event the Executive should Separate from Service prior to Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than death, Disability, or on or following a Change in Control, this agreement will terminate and the Executive will not be entitled to any of the benefits enumerated in this agreement.
3.3. Disability Benefit. Upon the Executive’s Disability while actively employed by the Employer, but prior to his or her Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, the Executive will be entitled to the benefit described in this Section 3.3 in lieu of any other benefit under this Agreement. The Disability Benefit will equal sixty (60%) percent of the Executive’s base salary and bonus at the time of the Disability. The Disability Benefit is payable in equal monthly installments commencing on the first (1st) day of the third month following the date of the Executive’s Disability and payable until the Executive reaches Normal Retirement Age. At Normal Retirement Age, the Disability Benefit will be reduced to an amount equal to the Normal Retirement Benefit as provided for in Section 3.1 as if the Executive separated from service at the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age and such reduced amount shall continue for the life of the Executive as provided in Section 3.1.
3.4. Preretirement Death Benefit. Upon death of the Executive while in service to the Employer, the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s Beneficiary the Account Balance, payable in a lump sum no later than thirty (30) days from the date of death (with the Beneficiary having no right to designate the taxable year of the payment).
3.5. Postretirement Death Benefit. Upon death of the Executive after benefit payments have commenced under the Plan, but before receiving a total of one hundred eighty (180) payments, the Employer shall continue payments to the Executive’s Beneficiary until a total of one hundred eighty (180) payments have been paid to the Executive and/or his Beneficiary. If the Executive dies after receiving one hundred eighty (180) or more payments of benefit payments, this Agreement will terminate and no additional payments will be made to the Executive's Beneficiary under the Plan.
3.6. Change in Control Benefit. Upon a Change in Control, the Executive will be one hundred percent (100%) vested in the Retirement Benefit as provided for in Section 3.1 as if the Executive separated from service at the Normal Retirement Age. Such benefits shall be payable in equal monthly installments for the life of the Executive commencing thirty (30) days following said Change in Control.
3.7. Restriction on Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding the applicable provisions of this Plan regarding timing of payments, the following special rules shall apply if the stock of the Employer is publicly traded at the time of the Executive’s Separation from Service in order for this Plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code: (i) to the extent the Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations) at the time of a distribution and to the extent such applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder require a delay of such distributions by a six-month period after the date of such Executive’s Separation from Service with the Employer, no such distribution shall be made prior to the date that is six months after the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service with the Employer, and (ii) any such delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum within five (5) business days after the end of the six (6) month delay.
ARTICLE 4
BENEFICIARIES
4.1. Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall have the right to designate at any time a Beneficiary to receive any benefits payable under this Plan upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other benefit plan of the Employer in which the Executive participates.
4.2. Beneficiary Designation; Changes. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. The Executive’s Beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted by the Plan Administrator before the Executive’s death.
4.3. Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received in writing by the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.
4.4. No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid Beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be distributed to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.
4.5. Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incapacitated, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Employer may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of the minor, incapacitated person, or incapable person. The Employer may require proof of incapacity, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the Employer from all liability for the benefit.
ARTICLE 5
GENERAL LIMITATIONS
5.1. Limits on Payments. It is the intention of the parties that none of the payments to which the Executive is entitled under this Plan will constitute a “golden parachute payment” within the meaning of 12 USC Section 1828(k) or implementing regulations of the FDIC, the payment of which is prohibited (collectively, “Section 1828(k)”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, any payments due to be made by Employer for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Plan, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned on compliance with Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder including the receipt of all required approvals thereof by Employer’s primary federal banking regulator and/or the FDIC.
In addition, Employer and its successors retain the legal right to demand the return of any payment made hereunder which constitutes a “golden parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 1828(k) or implementing regulations of the FDIC should Employer or its successors later obtain information indicating that the Executive committed, is substantially responsible for, or has violated, the respective acts or omissions, conditions, or offenses outlined under 12 C.F.R. 359.4(a)(4).

The Plan Administrator shall have the sole and absolute discretion and authority to interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and the rights of the Executive under this Plan, to decide or resolve any and all questions or disputes arising under this Plan, including benefits payable under this Plan and all other interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan.

Exhibit 10.69
SPLIT DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 22nd day of May, 15, by and between Wilson Bank & Trust, a banking corporation, located in Wilson County, Tennessee (the “Bank”), and John Foster, a current employee of the Bank (hereinafter referred to as the “Employee”).
INTRODUCTION
WHEREAS, Employee is an officer or other highly paid employee of the Bank;
WHEREAS, the Bank is purchasing insurance policies (hereinafter referred to as the “Insurance Policy(ies)”), with Tennessee Farm Bureau (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Insurer”), on the life of the Employee;
WHEREAS, the Bank desires to induce Employee to continue to utilize Employee’s best efforts on behalf of the Bank by its payment of premiums due on the Insurance Policy(ies); and
WHEREAS, the Bank is the sole owner of the Insurance Policy(ies) and elects to endorse a portion of the death benefit of the Insurance Policy(ies) to Employee, or Employee’s designated beneficiary.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual undertakings set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Bank and the Employee agree as follows:
1. |
Ownership |
1.1. |
Ownership of Insurance Policy. The Bank is the sole owner of the Insurance Policy(ies) and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership. The Bank shall be the beneficiary of the remaining death proceeds of the Insurance Policy(ies) after payment of the Employee Death Benefit as defined and provided for in this Agreement. The Bank shall at all times be entitled to the Policy(ies) cash surrender value, as that term is defined in the Insurance Policy(ies), less any Insurance Policy loans and unpaid interest or cash withdrawals previously incurred by the Bank and any applicable Insurance Policy surrender charges. The cash surrender value shall be determined as of the date of the surrender of the Insurance Policy or death of the Employee, as the case may be. |
1.2. |
Right to Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Bank shall have the right to sell or surrender the Insurance Policy(ies) without terminating this Agreement, provided (i) the Bank replaces the Insurance Policy(ies) with a comparable life insurance policy or arrangement that provides the benefit provided under this Agreement and (ii) the Bank and the Employee (who will not unreasonably withhold his signature) execute a new Split Dollar Policy Endorsement for said comparable coverage arrangement, at which time all references to “Insurance Policy” hereunder shall refer to such replacement coverage arrangement. Without limitation, the Insurance Policy(ies) at all times shall be the exclusive property of the Bank, and shall be subject to the claims of the Bank’s creditors. |
2. |
Premiums. |
2.1. |
Payment of Premium. The Bank may pay each premium on the Insurance Policy(ies) to the Insurer on or before the due date of such premium or within the grace period allowed by the Insurance Policy(ies) for the payment of such premium. |
2.2. |
Economic Benefit. The Bank shall determine the economic benefit attributable to the Employee based on the life insurance premium factor for the Employee’s age multiplied by the amount of current life insurance protection payable to the Employee’s beneficiary. The “life insurance premium factor” is the minimum amount required to be imputed under Treasury Regulation § 1.61-22(d)(3)(ii), or any subsequent applicable authority. The Bank shall impute the economic benefit to the Employee on an annual basis by adding the economic benefit to the Executive’s Form W-2, or, if applicable, Form 1099. |
3. |
Bank’s Interests. Upon the death of the Executive and whereby death proceeds are payable by the Insurance Carrier, the Bank shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all death benefits due under the Insurance Policy less those explicitly provided to the Employee’s designated beneficiary under Section 4 hereof (the “Bank’s Policy Interest”). The Bank’s Policy Interest shall be payable as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement. The Bank’s Policy Interest shall be reduced by any amount borrowed against the Insurance Policy(ies) by Bank. |
4. |
Employee’s Interests. The Employee Death Benefit under this Agreement shall be an amount equal to the Net Amount at Risk (NAR), defined as the difference between the death benefit payable upon death of the insured pursuant to a life insurance policy and the accrued cash value of the life insurance policy at the time of death of the insured. The Employee shall have the limited right during the term of Employee’s employment with the Bank to designate and change the direct and contingent beneficiaries (collectively, the “Beneficiary”) of the Employee portion of the death benefits of the Insurance Policy (the “Employee Death Benefit”) |
5. |
Beneficiary |
5.1. |
Beneficiary Designation. The Employee’s Beneficiary designation shall be made in writing and delivered to the Bank in a form acceptable to the Insurer and Bank. Employee’s designated Beneficiary may be amended by the Employee from time to time during the term of this Agreement. Upon the acceptance by the Bank of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Bank shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Employee and accepted by the Bank prior to the Employee’s death. |
5.2. |
Beneficiary Acknowledgement. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Bank or its designated agent. |
5.3. |
Facility of Payment. If the Bank determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be paid to a minor, to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Bank may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Bank may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deep appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Employee and the Employee’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such payment amount. |
5.4. |
No Beneficiary Designation. If the Employee dies without a valid designation of Beneficiary, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Employee, then the Employee’s surviving spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Employee has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made payable to the personal representative of the Employee’s estate. |
6. |
Death Claims. |
6.1. |
Bank’s Benefit. Upon the death of Employee, the Bank shall be entitled to receive a portion of the death benefits payable under the Insurance Policy equal to the Bank’s Policy Interest and the receipt of this amount by the Bank shall constitute satisfaction of the Bank’s rights under Section 3 of this Agreement. |
6.2. |
Employee’s Benefit. Upon the death of Employee, the Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the amount of the death benefits equal to the Employee Death Benefit and the receipt of this amount by the Beneficiary shall constitute satisfaction of the Employee’s rights under this Agreement. |
6.3. |
Benefit Paid by Insurance Carrier. The benefit payable to Employee’s Beneficiaries shall be paid solely by the Insurer from the proceeds of the Insurance Policy(ies) on the life of the Insured. In no event shall the Bank be obligated to pay a death benefit under this Agreement from its general funds. Should an Insurer refuse or be unable to pay death proceeds endorsed to Insured under the express terms of this Agreement, or should the Bank cancel the Insurance Policy(ies) for any reason, neither Employee nor any Beneficiary shall be entitled to a death benefit. |
6.4. |
Suicide or Misstatement. The amount of the benefit payable to Employee’s Beneficiaries may be reduced or eliminated if Employee fails or refuses to take a physical examination, to truthfully and completely supply such information or complete any forms as may be required by the Bank or the Insurer, or otherwise fails to cooperate with the requests of the Bank or the Insurer, or if Employee dies under circumstances such that the Insurance Policy(ies) does not pay a full death benefit, e.g., in the case of suicide within two years after a respective Insurance Policy date. |
7. |
Termination of Agreement. |
7.1. |
Termination Events. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the occurrence of any of the following events prior to the death of the Employee: |
(a) |
Written notice given by either party to the other; |
(b) |
Termination of the employment of Employee (whether voluntary or involuntary); or |
(c) |
Bankruptcy, receivership or dissolution of the Bank. |
7.2. |
Rights Upon Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 7, the Employee shall forfeit all rights hereunder, including the right to designate a Beneficiary, and Bank at its sole discretion may retain or terminate the Insurance Policy(ies). |
7.3. |
Amendments. Prior to the Employee’s death, this Agreement may be amended or terminated, in whole or in part, by the Bank at its sole discretion; provided, however, that if the Employee’s interests are adversely affected, such amendment or termination by action of the Bank may not become effective earlier than thirty days (30) after delivering a written notice of such action to the Employee. This Agreement may not be amended after the date of the Employee’s death. |
8. |
Insurance Company Not a Party. The Insurer shall not be deemed a party to this Agreement for any purpose nor in any way responsible for its validity; shall not be obligated to inquire as to the distribution of any monies payable or paid by it under the Insurance Policy(ies); and shall be fully discharged from any and all liability under the terms of the Insurance Policy(ies) upon payment or other performance of its obligations in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Policy(ies). The Insurer shall not be bound by or be deemed to have notice of the provisions of this Agreement. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Critical Accounting Estimates
The accounting principles we follow and our methods of applying these principles conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practices within the banking industry. In connection with the application of those principles, we have made judgments and estimates which, in the case of the determination of our allowance for loan losses have been critical to the determination of our financial position and results of operations. Additional information regarding significant accounting policies is described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Allowance for Loan Losses (“allowance”)-Our management assesses the adequacy of the allowance prior to the end of each calendar quarter. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the allowance and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The level of the allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, current asset quality trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payment), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, industry and peer bank loan quality indicators and other pertinent factors, including regulatory recommendations. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, that may be susceptible to significant change. Loan losses are charged off when management believes that the full collectability of the loan is unlikely. A loan may be partially charged-off after a “confirming event” has occurred which serves to validate that full repayment pursuant to the terms of the loan is unlikely. Allocation of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, is deemed to be uncollectible.
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Collection of all amounts due according to the contractual terms means that both the interest and principal payments of a loan will be collected as scheduled in the loan agreement.
An impairment allowance is recognized if the fair value of the loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (recorded investment in the loan is the principal balance plus any accrued interest, net of deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount). The impairment is recognized through the allowance. Loans that are impaired are recorded at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or if the loan is collateral dependent, impairment measurement is based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated disposal costs. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company recognizes an impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses or by adjusting an existing valuation allowance for the impaired loan with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for loan losses. Management believes it follows appropriate accounting and regulatory guidance in determining impairment and accrual status of impaired loans.
The level of allowance maintained is believed by management to be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off.
In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, we also consider the results of our ongoing loan review process. We undertake this process both to ascertain whether there are loans in the portfolio whose credit quality has weakened over time and to assist in our overall evaluation of the risk characteristics of the entire loan portfolio. Our loan review process includes the judgment of management, the input from our independent loan reviewers, and reviews that may have been conducted by bank regulatory agencies as part of their usual examination process. We incorporate loan review results in the determination of whether or not it is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a loan.
As part of management’s quarterly assessment of the allowance, management divides the loan portfolio into twelve segments based on bank call reporting requirements. Each segment is then analyzed such that an allocation of the allowance is estimated for each loan segment.
The allowance allocation begins with a process of estimating the loan losses in each of the twelve loan segments. The estimates for these loans are based on our historical loss data for that category over the last twenty quarters.
WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The estimated loan loss allocation for all twelve loan portfolio segments is then adjusted for several “environmental” factors. The allocation for environmental factors is particularly subjective and does not lend itself to exact mathematical calculation. This amount represents estimated inherent credit losses which exist, but have not yet been identified, as of the balance sheet date, and are based upon quarterly trend assessments in delinquent and nonaccrual loans, unanticipated charge-offs, credit concentration changes, prevailing economic conditions, changes in lending personnel experience, changes in lending policies or procedures, changes in interest rate, and other influencing factors. These environmental factors are considered for each of the twelve loan segments, and the allowance allocation, as determined by the processes noted above for each component, is increased or decreased based on the incremental assessment of these various environmental factors.
We then test the resulting allowance by comparing the balance in the allowance to industry and peer information. Our management then evaluates the result of the procedures performed, including the result of our testing, and concludes on the appropriateness of the balance of the allowance in its entirety. The board of directors reviews and approves the assessment prior to the filing of quarterly and annual financial information.
Impairment of Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units and tested for impairment at least annually on December 31, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. See Note 6 (Acquired Intangible Assets and Goodwill) to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Should the Company determine in a future period that the goodwill has become impaired, then a charge to earnings will be recorded in the period such determination is made.
Other-than-temporary Impairment-Impaired securities are assessed quarterly for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount of the security. To determine whether OTTI has occurred, management considers factors such as (1) length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value. If management deems a security to be OTTI, management reviews the present value of the future cash flows associated with the security. A shortfall of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected in relation to the amortized cost basis is referred to as a credit loss. If a credit loss is identified, the credit loss is recognized in that period as a charge to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. If management concludes that no credit loss exists and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the security’s cost basis, then the security is not deemed OTTI and the shortfall is recorded as a component of equity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments-Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 21 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Results of Operations
Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $36,044,000, an increase of $3,450,000, or 10.58%, compared to net earnings of $32,594,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our 2018 net earnings were 38.54%, or $9,068,000, above our net earnings of $23,526,000 for 2017. Basic earnings per share were $3.36 in 2019, compared with $3.09 in 2018 and $2.26 in 2017. Diluted earnings per share were $3.35 in 2019, compared to $3.08 in 2018 and $2.26 in 2017. The increase in net earnings and diluted and basic earnings per share during the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, reflecting an increase in average interest earning asset balances and yields between the relevant periods, as well as an increase in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in interest expense and non-interest expense. The increase in interest expense resulted from an increase in deposit rates along with an increase in balances, and the increase in non-interest expense resulted from the Company's continued growth. Income tax expense was also higher in 2019 when compared to 2018. Net income and diluted and basic earnings per share in 2017 were significantly and negatively impacted by the revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets triggered by the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in late December 2017. Net yield on earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 was 3.81%, compared to 4.01% and 3.84% for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Net interest spread for the year ended December 31, 2019 was 3.60%, compared to 3.87% and 3.75% for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. See below for further discussion regarding variances related to net interest income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income, non-interest expense and income taxes.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various earning assets exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings. Total interest income in 2019 was $118,077,000, up 14.06% when compared with $103,525,000 in 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2018 was up 13.74% when compared to $91,020,000 in 2017, in each case excluding tax exempt adjustments relating to tax exempt securities and loans. The increase in total interest income in 2019 when compared to 2018 was primarily attributable to an overall increase in average loan balances and the resulting increase in the aggregate amount of interest and fees earned on loans as well as an increase in average loan yields from 5.11% to 5.32% and an increase in yield on securities from 2.31% to 2.47%. The Federal Reserve influences the general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions. Our loan portfolio is significantly affected by changes in the prime interest rate. The prime interest rate, which is the rate offered on loans to borrowers with strong credit, decreased 75 basis points during 2019. During 2018, the prime rate increased 100 basis points. During 2017, the prime rate increased 75 basis points. Although prime rates decreased during 2019 and we faced competitive pressures in our markets, we were able to increase our yield on loans due to the delayed affects of the rising rate environment in 2017 and 2018, strategic loan pricing on certain loan segments, and an increase in loans qualified to received state income tax credit. Fees earned on loans totaled $7,751,000, $7,400,000 and $6,773,000 for the years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Late in 2019, the Company added several loans qualifying for state income tax credit, which is included in our loan yield calculation. The total amount of credits included in our loan yields were $2,154,000, $1,997,000 and $503,000 for the years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in yield on securities was due to management's ability to invest in higher yielding securities as the overall rates in the market increased in 2018.
The ratio of average earning assets to total average assets was 95.8%, 95.0% and 95.4% for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Average earning assets increased $277,823,000 from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The average rate earned on earning assets for 2019 was 4.69%, compared with 4.62% in 2018 and 4.25% in 2017.
Total interest expense for 2019 was $22,647,000, an increase of $8,629,000, or 61.56%, compared to total interest expense of $14,018,000 in 2018. Average interest-bearing deposits increased to $2,054,817,000 for 2019 compared to $1,867,037,000 for 2018. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 1.07% for 2019 compared to 0.75% for 2018. Total interest expense increased from $8,889,000 in 2017 to $14,018,000 in 2018, an increase of $5,129,000 or 57.70%. The increases in total interest expense in 2019 and 2018 resulted primarily from the higher rates on deposits from the rising rate environment of 2018 and the first half of 2019, and competitive pressures in our markets, as well as an overall increase in the volume of average interest-bearing deposits. We also incurred additional funding costs related to the utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and brokered deposits beginning late in the first quarter of 2019 to increase our balance sheet liquidity. These borrowings are at a higher rate than our core deposits. Interest expense was also impacted by our inability to quickly reprice deposits with the start of the downward rate environment when it began in 2019.
Net interest income for 2019 totaled $95,430,000 as compared to $89,507,000 and $82,131,000 in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The net interest spread, defined as the effective yield on earning assets less the effective cost of deposits and borrowed funds (calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis), decreased to 3.60% in 2019 from 3.87% in 2018. The net interest spread was 3.75% in 2017. Net yield on earning assets decreased to 3.81% in 2019 from 4.01% in 2018. The net yield on earning assets was 3.84% in 2017. The change in net yield on earning assets resulted from an increase in the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities that was only partially offset by the increase in yields on loans and securities. Our net yield on earning assets and our net interest spread declined during 2019 as the impact of the declining rate environment more quickly impacted our earning assets than our interest-bearing liabilities, and competitive pressures in our markets limited our ability to reduce the rates we pay on our interest bearing liabilities. Declining loan balances also negatively impacted our net interest spread. Management is anticipating a steady growth in the loan portfolio in 2020 that should have a positive effect on our yield on earning assets and our net interest spread.
The Company’s liabilities are positioned to re-price faster than its assets such that a short-term declining rate environment could have a positive impact on the Company’s earnings as its interest expense decreases faster than interest income. Conversely, a rising rate environment could have a short-term negative impact on margins, as deposits would likely re-price faster than assets. Management regularly monitors the deposit rates of the Company’s competitors and these rates continue to put pressure on the Company’s deposit pricing, just as loan pricing pressure from competition within our markets continues to negatively impact loan yields. This pressure could continue to negatively impact the Company’s net interest margin and earnings if short-term rates continue to rise or these competitive pressures limit the Company's ability to lower deposit rates in a declining rate environment.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage for estimated losses on outstanding loans and to provide for uncertainties in the economy. The 2019 provision for loan losses was $2,040,000, a decrease of $2,258,000 from the provision of $4,298,000 in 2018, which was $2,617,000 higher than the provision in 2017. The decrease in the provision for the year ended December 31, 2019 is primarily attributable to a decrease in the volume of loans originated during the period and a decrease in the amount of net loans charged off. Loan growth totaled $43,568,000, $293,655,000 and $61,826,000 for the years ended 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Management continues to fund the allowance for loan losses through provisions based on management’s calculation of the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses is based on past loan experience and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. Such factors include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, review of specific problem loans, past due and nonperforming loans, change in lending staff, the recommendations of the Company’s regulators, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to repay.
Wilson Bank’s charge-off policy for impaired loans is similar to its charge-off policy for all loans in that loans are charged-off in the month when a determination is made that the loan is uncollectible. Net charge-offs decreased to $488,000 in 2019 from $1,033,000 in 2018. Net charge-offs in 2017 totaled $503,000. The ratio of net charge-offs to average total outstanding loans was 0.02% in 2019, 0.05% in 2018 and 0.03% in 2017. The decrease in net charge-offs in 2019 is due to two large recoveries received during the year.
The decrease in charge-offs in 2019 resulted in an increase of the allowance for loan losses (net of charge-offs and recoveries) to $28,726,000 at December 31, 2019 from $27,174,000 at December 31, 2018 and $23,909,000 at December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses increased 5.71% between December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 as compared to the 2.09% increase in total loans over the same period. The allowance for loan losses was 1.38% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2019 compared to 1.33% at December 31, 2018 and 1.37% at December 31, 2017. As a percentage of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the allowance for loan losses represented 359%, 473% and 337%, respectively. The internally classified loans as a percentage of the allowance for loan losses were 37.1% and 44.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The level of the allowance and the amount of the provision involve evaluation of uncertainties and matters of judgment. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses which management believes is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. A formal review is prepared quarterly by the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Credit Officer and is provided to the Board of Directors to assess the risk in the portfolio and to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The review includes analysis of historical performance, the level of non-performing and adversely rated loans, specific analysis of certain problem loans, loan activity since the previous assessment, reports prepared by the Company's independent Loan Review Department, consideration of current economic conditions and other pertinent information. The level of the allowance to net loans outstanding will vary depending on the overall results of this quarterly assessment. See the discussion above under “Critical Accounting Estimates” for more information. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2019 to be adequate, but if economic conditions deteriorate beyond management’s current expectations and additional charge-offs are incurred, the allowance for loan losses may require an increase through additional provision for loan losses expense which would negatively impact earnings.
Non-Interest Income
The components of the Company’s non-interest income include service charges on deposit accounts, other fees and commissions, fees and gains on sales of loans, gains(losses) on sales of securities, income on bank-owned life insurance(BOLI) and annuity contracts, gain on the sale of other real estate and other income. Total non-interest income for 2019 was $28,349,000, compared with $25,248,000 in 2018 and $22,821,000 in 2017. The 12.28% increase from 2018 to 2019 was primarily due to an increase in other fees and commissions, an increase in service charges on deposits, a decrease in the loss on the sale of securities, and an increase on the gain on sale of loans offset in part by an increase in the loss on the sale of fixed assets and a decrease in income on BOLI and annuity contracts. Other fees and commissions increased $529,000, or 3.86%, to $14,233,000 in 2019 when compared to 2018. Other fees and commissions include income on brokerage accounts, debit and credit card interchange fee income, and various other fees. The increase in other fees and commissions is primarily due to an increase in brokerage income, debit card interchange fee income, and credit card interchange fee income of 2019 when compared to the comparable periods in 2018. Debit card and credit card interchange fee income increased due to an increase in the number and volume of debit card and credit card holders and transactions. The service charges on deposit accounts increased $153,000, or 2.25%, to $6,952,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 due to an increase in the number of consumer checking accounts and the number of transactions, and an increase in the per item service charge fee on insufficient funds. The fees and gains on sales of mortgage loans increased $2,163,000, or 46.63%, to $6,802,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. Overall, volume from the sale of loans increased $25,707,000 from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019 primarily resulting from a new capital markets execution process which consisted of transitioning to the mandatory delivery process from the best efforts delivery process and an increase in the volume of loan originations. The mandatory delivery process was implemented by the mortgage department in November 2018. The gain on sale of mortgage loans also benefited from expanding our loan sale investor count and a new pricing strategy we implemented in 2019. Loss on sale of securities decreased $382,000, or 58.77%, to $268,000 in 2019 when compared to $650,000 in 2018 due to management actively monitoring the liquidity needs of the Company and trading securities to manage liquidity needs and to optimize yield on earning assets
The Company’s non-interest income is composed of several components, some of which vary significantly between periods. Service charges on deposit accounts and other non-interest income generally reflect the Company’s growth, while fees for origination of mortgage loans and brokerage fees and commissions will often reflect home mortgage market and stock market conditions and fluctuate more widely from period to period.

Non-Interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses consist primarily of employee costs, FDIC premiums, occupancy expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, data processing expenses, directors’ fees, and other operating expenses. Total non-interest expenses for 2019 increased 8.03% to $74,628,000 from $69,080,000 in 2018. Non-interest expenses for 2018 were up 14.39% over non-interest expenses in 2017 which totaled $60,391,000. The increase in non-interest expenses in 2019 is primarily attributable to a year-over-year increase in salaries and employee benefits of $2,951,000, other operating expenses of $452,000, occupancy expenses of $386,000, furniture and equipment expenses of $343,000, accounting, legal and consulting fees of $405,000, data processing expenses of $1,595,000 and ATM and interchange fees of $348,000, partially offset by a decrease in equity-based compensation expense of $451,000 and a decrease in FDIC insurance of $470,000. Salaries and employee benefits were up in 2019 when compared to 2018 because the number of employees continued to increase in order to support the Company's growth in operations and new branch expansions. The decrease in equity-based compensation expense is due to the increased expense associated with stock appreciation rights in 2018 as three members of the Board of Directors retired and became fully vested and the Company recognized the expense accordingly.
The increase in other operating expenses is due to increased account servicing costs associated with an increase in consumer checking accounts, brokerage accounts and loans made to customers. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of employees necessary to support the Company’s growth in operations and branch expansion. The increase in furniture and equipment expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation related to the opening of the operations building in Lebanon, Tennessee, Cool Springs office in Williamson County and West End office in Davidson County and an increase in the cost of maintenance and repairs. The increase in occupancy expense is similarly attributable to the opening of the operations center in the second quarter of 2018, and the lease expense associated with the opening of the new branch in Davidson County in the third quarter of 2018 and the new branch in Williamson County in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in data processing expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in computer maintenance and computer licenses due to the upgrade of our current systems as well as additional investments in computer software due to branch expansion, an increase in I.T. consulting expense, and an increase in computer home banking expense that resulted from the evolution of our new mobile application. This expense is now incurred on a per user basis as opposed to an overall fee. The increase in ATM and interchange fees is primarily attributable to the addition of ATMs as branch expansion has occurred and increasing interchange fees associated with a higher volume of debit card transactions. The Company's efficiency ratios, which measure a bank's overhead as a percentage of its revenue, were 60.29%, 60.20% and 57.54% for the years ended 2019,2018, and 2017, respectively. The Company anticipates that salaries and employee benefits expense and occupancy expense will continue to increase as the Company's operations grow.
Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense was $11,067,000 for 2019, an increase of $2,284,000 from $8,783,000 for 2018, which was down by $10,571,000 from the 2017 total of $19,354,000. The percentage of income tax expense to earnings before taxes was 23.5% in 2019, 21.2% in 2018 and 45.1% in 2017. The increase in income tax expense in 2019 from 2018 was due to the increase in earnings before income taxes and the decrease in 2018 from 2017 was due to the reduction in statutory corporate tax rates as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"), a tax reform bill passed in December 2017 which, among other items, reduced the then current corporate federal tax rate to 21% from 35%. Our effective tax rate represents our blended federal and state rate of 26.135% affected by the impact of anticipated favorable permanent differences between our book and taxable income such as bank-owned life insurance, income earned on tax-exempt securities and certain federal and state tax credits. The rate reduction under the Act was effective January 1, 2018. The Company concluded that the Act caused the Company's deferred tax assets to be revalued. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we reduced the value of our deferred tax assets by $3.6 million and recorded an additional income tax expense, thus causing the decrease in income tax expense from 2017 to 2018.
Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes at both the federal and state level. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results adjusted for changes in accounting policies and incorporate assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income. Changes in current tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future as was the case with the passage of the Act.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
We recognize tax liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 740 and we adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.

Financial Condition
Balance Sheet Summary
The Company’s total assets increased in 2019 by $250,527,000 or 9.85%, to $2,794,209,000 at December 31, 2019, after increasing 9.78% in 2018 to $2,543,682,000 at December 31, 2018. Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, totaled $2,057,175,000 at December 31, 2019, a 2.04% increase compared to December 31, 2018. In the first half of 2019 management made a strategic decision to begin focusing loan growth in the commercial and industrial and residential 1-4 family segments of our loan portfolio, which have historically grown at slower rates than the other segments of the portfolio. As a result, loan growth slowed in 2019. Loan growth was also affected by the payoff of several large loan relationships in 2019. We operate in a market area that is experiencing economic growth, which caused our commercial real estate, residential 1-4 family, and commercial and industrial portfolio to increase as of December 31, 2019, when compared to December 31, 2018. At year end 2019, securities totaled $421,145,000, an increase of 47.64% from $285,252,000 at December 31, 2018, primarily as a result of slowing loan growth and management's decision to invest liquid funds in higher yielding assets through the purchase of securities.
Total liabilities increased by $209,210,000, or 9.31%, to $2,457,225,000 at December 31, 2019 compared to $2,248,015,000 at December 31, 2018. This increase was composed primarily of the $181,950,000 increase in total deposits to $2,417,605,000, an 8.14% increase from December 31, 2018. Federal home loan bank advances increased to $23,613,000 during 2019 due to management's decision in the first quarter of 2019 to borrow funds from the FHLB to purchase pledgeable securities as part of our strategy to improve our balance sheet liquidity and as a result of slowing loan growth.
Stockholders’ equity increased $41,317,000, or 13.97%, in 2019, due to net earnings, the issuance of stock pursuant to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, an increase in the fair value of available-for-sale securities, and the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock and dividends paid on the Company’s common stock. The change in stockholders’ equity includes a $8,398,000 increase in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes during the period. A more detailed discussion of assets, liabilities and capital follows.

Loans are the largest component of the Company’s assets and are its primary source of income. The Company’s loan portfolio, net of allowance for loan losses, increased 2.04% at year end 2019 when compared to year end 2018. The loan portfolio is composed of four primary loan categories: commercial, financial and agricultural; installment and other; real estate-mortgage; and real estate-construction. The table above sets forth the loan categories and the percentage of such loans in the portfolio as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As represented in the table, Wilson Bank experienced loan growth for the year ended December 31, 2019 in three loan categories. Real estate mortgage loans increased 7.93% in 2019 and comprised 71.9% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2019, compared to 68.0% at December 31, 2018. Management believes the increase in real estate mortgage loans was primarily due to the continued favorable population growth in the Company's market areas and the Company's ability to increase its market share of such loans while maintaining its loan underwriting standards. Installment loans increased 12.46% in 2019 and comprised 2.6% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2019, compared to 2.4% at December 31, 2018. Commercial, financial, and agricultural loans increased 21.58% in 2019 and comprised 5.2% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2019, compared to 4.3% at December 31, 2018. The increase in commercial and industrial loans is a result of an increase in demand for such loans in the overall economy and the Company's markets. Real estate construction loans decreased 17.96% in 2019 and comprised 20.3% of the portfolio at December 31, 2019, compared to 25.3% at December 31, 2018. The decrease in real estate construction loans and the increase in installment loans, commercial and industrial and 1-4 family residential mortgage loans during 2019 reflected a strategic decision made by management to begin focusing on these specific types of loans to increase diversification of the overall loan portfolio. Because the construction portfolio remains a meaningful portion of our portfolio, Wilson Bank has implemented an additional layer of monitoring as it seeks to avoid advancing funds that exceed the present value of the collateral securing the loan. The responsibility for monitoring percentage of completion and distribution of funds tied to these completion percentages are now monitored and administered by a credit administration department independent of the lending function. Wilson Bank continues to seek to diversify its real estate portfolio as it seeks to lessen concentrations in any one type of loan.
Banking regulators define highly leveraged transactions to include leveraged buy-outs, acquisition loans and recapitalization loans of an existing business. Under the regulatory definition, at December 31, 2019, the Company had no highly leveraged transactions, and there were no foreign loans outstanding during any of the reporting periods. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had not underwritten any loans in connection with capital leases.
The following tables present the Company’s nonaccrual loans and past due loans as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Non-performing loans, which include nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days past due, totaled $5,117,000 at December 31, 2019, an increase from $3,259,000 at December 31, 2018, resulting from a $560,000, or 27.32%, increase in nonaccrual loans and a $1,298,000, or 107.36%, increase in 90 day past due and accruing loans. The increase in non-performing loans during the year ended December 31, 2019 of $1,858,000 was due primarily to an increase in non-performing residential 1-4 family real estate loans of $468,000, an increase in non-performing construction loans of $562,00, an increase in non-performing equity lines of credit of $327,000 and an increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans of $487,000. The increase in non-performing loans resulted primarily from the addition of two large commercial real estate secured loans on nonaccrual status and three large real estate secured loans that were greater than 90 days past due. Nonaccrual loans are loans on which interest is no longer accrued because management believes collection of such interest is doubtful due to management’s evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral liquidation value, economic and business conditions and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to pay. Management believes that it is probable that it will incur losses on nonperforming loans but believes that these losses should not exceed the amount in the allowance for loan losses already allocated to these loans, unless there is a deterioration of local real estate values.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had three impaired loans totaling $2,610,000 which were on non-accruing interest status. At December 31, 2018, the Company had two impaired loans totaling $2,050,000 which were on non-accruing interest status. In each case, at the date such loans were placed on nonaccrual status, the Company reversed all previously accrued interest income against current year earnings.

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance of FASB ASC 310, when the current net worth and financial capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any, is viewed as inadequate and it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In those cases, such loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and if such deficiencies are not corrected, there is a probability that the Company will sustain some loss. In such cases, interest income continues to accrue as long as the loan does not meet the Company’s criteria for nonaccrual status. Impaired loans are measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company shall recognize impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses or by adjusting an existing valuation allowance for the impaired loan with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for loan losses. The decrease in impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 was the result of the pay-off or pay-down of three loan relationships, partially offset by three additional loan relationships becoming impaired in 2019. Overall, the Company’s market areas have seen continued strengthening in the residential real estate market in recent years while the commercial real estate market has remained steady. The allowance for loan losses related to collateral dependent impaired loans was measured based upon the estimated fair value of related collateral.
The Company considers all loans subject to the provisions of FASB ASC 310 that are on nonaccrual status to be impaired. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when doubt as to timely collection of principal or interest exists, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more unless such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Delays or shortfalls in loan payments are evaluated with various other factors to determine if a loan is impaired. Generally, delinquencies under 90 days are considered insignificant unless certain other factors are present which indicate impairment is probable. The decision to place a loan on nonaccrual status is also based on an evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral liquidation value, and other factors that affect the borrower’s ability to pay.
The Company also internally classifies loans which, although current, management questions the borrower’s ability to comply with the present repayment terms of the loan agreement. These internally classified loans totaled $10,651,000, inclusive of the Company’s non-performing loans, at December 31, 2019, as compared to $12,039,000 at December 31, 2018. Of the internally classified loans at December 31, 2019, $10,432,000 are real estate secured loans (including loans to home builders and developers of land, commercial real estate loans, as well as multifamily mortgage loans) and $219,000 are various other types of loans. These loans have been graded accordingly considering bankruptcies, inadequate cash flows and delinquencies. Overall, in 2019 Wilson Bank experienced a stabilization in internally graded loans as the cash flows from home builders, land developers and commercial real estate borrowers continue to improve. Management does not anticipate losses on these loans to exceed the amount already allocated to loan losses for these loans, unless there is a deterioration of local real estate values.
The internally classified loans as a percentage of the allowance for loan losses were 37.1% and 44.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The Company’s loan portfolio includes certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR), where economic, or other, concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. The concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reduction in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months. Nonperforming TDRs as of December 31, 2019 increased $651,000 to $1,467,000 at December 31, 2019 when compared to December 31, 2018 due to the addition of one large TDR loan relationships that was non-performing at December 31, 2019. Total TDRs increased $2,055,000 to $4,547,000 from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019 due the addition of three large loan relationships that were classified as TDRs in 2019.
The allowance for loan losses is discussed under “Critical Accounting Estimates” and “Provision for Loan Losses.” The Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at an amount believed by management to be adequate to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2019.
Substantially all of the Company’s loans are from Wilson, DeKalb, Smith, Putnam, Trousdale, Davidson, Rutherford, Williamson and adjacent counties. Although the majority of the Company's loans are in the real estate market, the Company seeks to exercise prudent risk management in lending through the diversification by loan category within the real estate segment, including 1-4 family residential real estate, commercial real estate, multifamily, construction, second mortgages, farmland, and equity lines of credit. At December 31, 2019, no single industry segment accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s portfolio other than construction, commercial real estate, and residential 1-4 family real estate loans.
The Company’s management believes there is an opportunity to increase the loan portfolio in 2020 as economic conditions in the Company's primary market areas continue to outperform other markets. The Company will target owner-occupied commercial real estate, residential real estate lending and consumer lending as areas of emphasis in 2020. At December 31, 2019, the Company’s total loans equaled 86.3% of its total deposits. As a practice, the Company generates its own loans and does not buy participations from other institutions. The Company may sell portions of the loans it generates to other financial institutions for cash in order to improve the liquidity of the Company’s loan portfolio or extend its lending capacity.

Securities
Securities increased 47.64% to $421,145,000 at December 31, 2019 from $285,252,000 at December 31, 2018, and comprised the second largest and other primary component of the Company’s earning assets. Securities increased as the result of slowing loan growth and management’s decision to invest liquid funds into higher yielding assets through the purchase of securities. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold securities classified as held-to-maturity with a book value of $4,843,000 for a loss of $79,000. Due to the sale, management determined the Company no longer had the intent to hold the remaining securities classified as held-to-maturity to their respective maturity dates and transferred the remaining book value of $22,800,000 to the available-for-sale classification. The average yield, excluding tax equivalent adjustment, of the securities portfolio at December 31, 2019 was 2.42% with a weighted average life of 7.08 years, as compared to an average yield of 2.45% and a weighted average life of 6.50 years at December 31, 2018. The weighted average lives on mortgage-backed securities reflect the repayment rate used for book value calculations.
Certain debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity" and recorded at amortized cost. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as “available-for-sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.
No securities have been classified as trading securities or held-to-maturity at December 31, 2019.
The Company’s classification of securities as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The classification of a portion of the securities portfolio as available-for-sale was made to provide for more flexibility in asset/liability management and capital management.

The impaired securities are considered high quality investments in line with normal industry investing practices. The unrealized losses are primarily the result of changes in the interest rate and sector environments. Impaired securities are assessed quarterly for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount of the security. To determine whether OTTI has occurred, management considers factors such as (1) length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value. If management deems a security to be OTTI, management reviews the present value of the future cash flows associated with the security. A shortfall of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected in relation to the amortized cost basis is referred to as a credit loss. If a credit loss is identified, the credit loss is recognized in that period as a charge to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. If management concludes that no credit loss exists and it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the security’s cost basis, then the security is not deemed OTTI and the shortfall is recorded as a component of equity. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2019, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary and no impairment loss has been realized in our consolidated income statement.
Deposits
The increases in assets in 2019 and 2018 were funded primarily by increases in deposits and the Company’s earnings. Total deposits, which are the principal source of funds for the Company, totaled $2,417,605,000 at December 31, 2019 compared to $2,235,655,000 at December 31, 2018, an increase of 8.1%. The Company has targeted local consumers, professionals and small businesses as its central clientele; therefore, deposit instruments in the form of demand deposits, savings accounts, money market demand accounts, certificates of deposits and individual retirement accounts are offered to customers. Management believes the Wilson County, Davidson County, DeKalb County, Putnam County, Smith County, Sumner County, Rutherford County, Trousdale County and Williamson County areas are attractive economic markets offering growth opportunities for the Company; however, the Company competes with several larger banks and community banks that have bank offices in these counties which may negatively impact market growth or maintenance of current market share. Even though the Company is in a very competitive market, management currently believes that its market share can be maintained or expanded.
The $181,950,000, or 8.14%, growth in deposits in 2019 was due to a $19,925,000, or 3.71%, increase in certificates of deposits, a $74,332,000, or 10.22%, increase in money market accounts, a $30,454,000, or 11.98%, increase in demand deposit accounts, a $55,310,000, or 10.99%, increase in NOW accounts, and a $3,625,000, or 2.65%, increase in savings accounts, offset by a decrease in individual retirement accounts of $1,696,000, or 2.22%. The average rate paid on average total interest-bearing deposits was 1.07% for 2019 compared to 0.75% for 2018. The average rate paid in 2017 was 0.50%. Competitive pressure from other banks in our market area relating to deposit pricing continues to adversely affect the rates paid on deposit accounts as it limits our ability to lower deposit rates as short-term interest rates fall. It’s these same competitive pressures that may cause our deposit rates to rise more quickly than we are able to increase the rates we earn on loans in a rising rate environment. If this were to happen our net yield on earning assets would experience compression and our results of operations would be negatively impacted, as was the case in 2019, during which the impact of the declining rate environment more quickly impacted our earning assets than our interest-bearing liabilities, which consequently compressed our net yield on earning assets. The ratio of average loans to average deposits was 87.4% in 2019, 89.7% in 2018, and 86.5% in 2017. To increase our levels of on-balance sheet liquidity in 2019, we borrowed money from the Federal Home Loan Bank. These borrowings typically have interest rates that are higher than the rates we pay on deposits and, accordingly, result in increases to our funding costs.

Long-term debt contractual obligations include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and at December 31, 2019, the Company had $ 23,613,000 in advances. The Company leases land for certain branch facilities and automatic teller machine locations. Future minimum rental payments required under the terms of these non-cancellable leases are included in operating lease obligations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
At December 31, 2019, the Company had unfunded lines of credit of $633 million and outstanding standby letters of credit of $73 million. Since many of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally represent future cash requirements. If needed to fund these outstanding commitments, the Company’s bank subsidiary has the ability to liquidate Federal funds sold or securities available-for-sale or on a short-term basis to borrow and purchase Federal funds from other financial institutions. Additionally, the Company’s bank subsidiary could sell participations in these or other loans to correspondent banks. As mentioned below, Wilson Bank has been able to fund its ongoing liquidity needs through its stable core deposit base, loan payments, its investment security maturities, and short-term borrowings.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Based upon the nature of the Company’s operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk.
Interest rate risk (sensitivity) management focuses on the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates. Management seeks to maintain profitability in both short term and long term earnings through funds management/interest rate risk management. The Company’s rate sensitivity position has an important impact on earnings. Senior management of the Company meets quarterly to analyze the rate sensitivity position. These meetings focus on the spread between the cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments.
WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Asset Management
The Company’s management seeks to maximize net interest income by managing the Company’s assets and liabilities within appropriate constraints on capital, liquidity and interest rate risk. Liquidity is the ability to maintain sufficient cash levels necessary to fund operations, meet the requirements of depositors and borrowers and fund attractive investment opportunities. Higher levels of liquidity bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets and higher interest expense involved in extending liability maturities. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits held at other banks, fed funds sold, and unpledged investments. At December 31, 2019, the Company’s liquid assets totaled approximately $324.5 million.
The Company maintains a formal asset and liability management process to quantify, monitor and control interest rate risk, and to assist management in maintaining stability in the net interest margin under varying interest rate environments. The Company accomplishes this process through the development and implementation of lending, funding and pricing strategies designed to maximize net interest income under varying interest rate environments subject to specific liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines.
Analysis of rate sensitivity and rate gap analysis are the primary tools used to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. Included in the analysis are cash flows and maturities of financial instruments held for purposes other than trading, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing and deposit volume and mix. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, as a result, net interest income can not be precisely estimated nor can the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income be precisely predicted. Actual results will differ due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management’s strategies, among other factors.
The Company’s primary source of liquidity is a stable core deposit base. In addition, short-term borrowings, loan payments and investment security maturities provide a secondary source. At December 31, 2019, the Company had a liability sensitive position (a negative gap). Liability sensitivity means that more of the Company’s liabilities are capable of re-pricing over certain time frames than its assets. The interest rates associated with these liabilities may not actually change over this period but are capable of changing.
Interest rate risk (sensitivity) management focuses on the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates. Management seeks to maintain profitability in both immediate and long-term earnings through funds management/interest rate risk management. The Company’s rate sensitivity position has an important impact on earnings. Senior management of the Company meets quarterly to analyze its rate sensitivity position. These meetings focus on the spread between the Company’s cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments.
The Company’s securities portfolio consists of earning assets that provide interest income. For those securities classified as held-to-maturity, the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity or on a long-term basis. Securities classified as available-for-sale include securities intended to be used as part of the Company’s asset/liability strategy and/or securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, the need or desire to increase capital and similar economic factors. At December 31, 2019, securities totaling approximately $35.2 million mature or will be subject to rate adjustments within the next twelve months.
A secondary source of liquidity is the Company’s loan portfolio. At December 31, 2019, loans totaling approximately $719.7 million either will become due or will be subject to rate adjustments within twelve months from that date. Continued emphasis will be placed on structuring adjustable rate loans.
As for liabilities, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts of $250,000 or greater totaling approximately $73.6 million will become due or reprice during the next twelve months. Historically, there has been no significant reduction in immediately withdrawable accounts such as negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, money market demand accounts, demand deposit accounts and regular savings accounts. Management anticipates that there will be no significant withdrawals from these accounts in 2020.
At December 31, 2019, the scheduled maturities of these advances and interest rates were as follows (scheduled maturities will differ from scheduled repayments):

Management believes that with present maturities, the anticipated growth in deposit base, and the efforts of management in its asset/liability management program, liquidity will not pose a problem in the near term future. At the present time there are no known trends or any known commitments, demands, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity changing in a materially adverse way.

The Company also uses simulation modeling to evaluate both the level of interest rate sensitivity as well as potential balance sheet strategies. The Asset Liability Committee meets quarterly to analyze the interest rate shock simulation. The interest rate simulation model is based on a number of assumptions. The assumptions relate primarily to loan and deposit growth, asset and liability prepayments, the call features of investment securities, interest rates and balance sheet management strategies. The Company also uses Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of changes in interest rates on long-term cash flows, income and capital. EVE is calculated by discounting the cash flows for all balance sheet instruments under different interest rate scenarios. The EVE is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. Presented below is the estimated impact on Wilson Bank’s net interest income and EVE as of December 31, 2019, assuming an immediate shift in interest rates:

(1) Currently, some short term interest rates are below the standard down 200 and 300 rate scenarios. The asset liability model does not calculate negative interest rates and will floor any indexes at a nominal rate.
Each of the above analyses may not, on its own, be an accurate indicator of how our net interest income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features (generally referred to as interest rate caps and floors) which limit changes in interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the maturity of certain instruments. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates. We review each of the above interest rate sensitivity analyses along with several different interest rate scenarios as part of our responsibility to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies.
Management believes that with present maturities, the anticipated growth in deposit base, and the efforts of management in its asset/liability management program, liquidity will not pose a problem in the near term future. At the present time there are no other known trends or any known commitments, demands, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, the Company’s liquidity changing in a materially adverse way.

Impact of Inflation
Although interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the inflation rate is believed to have had an immaterial impact on the Company’s results of operations.
Capital Resources, Capital Position and Dividends
At December 31, 2019, total stockholders’ equity was $336,984,000, or 12.06% of total assets, which compares with $295,667,000, or 11.62% of total assets, at December 31, 2018, and $267,730,000, or 11.55% of total assets, at December 31, 2017. The dollar increase in the Company’s stockholders’ equity during 2019 reflects (i) net income of $36,044,000 less cash dividends of $1.10 per share totaling $11,725,000, (ii) the issuance of 179,199 shares of common stock for $9,134,000, as reinvestment of cash dividends, (iii) the issuance of 21,764 shares of common stock pursuant to exercise of stock options for $775,000, (iv) the net change in unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities of $8,398,000, (v) the repurchase of 31,774 shares of stock for $1,629,000, (vi) the cumulative effect of accounting change of $27,000 and (vii) a stock-based compensation expense of $347,000.
The Company and Wilson Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Wilson Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and, in the case of Wilson Bank, the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Wilson Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Wilson Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total, Tier 1, and common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company and the Wilson Bank are considered to be “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory definitions.
WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of December 31, 2019, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized Wilson Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized for prompt corrective action regulations as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, an institution was required to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, common equity Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables and not be subject to a written agreement, order or directive to maintain a specific capital level. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed Wilson Bank’s category.

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In July 2013, the Federal banking regulators, in response to the Statutory Requirements of The Dodd-Frank Act, adopted new regulations implementing the Basel Capital Adequacy Accord (“Basel III”) and the related higher minimum capital ratios. The new capital requirements were effective beginning January 1, 2015 and include a new “Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio”, which has stricter rules as to what qualifies as Common Equity Tier 1 Capital.
The guidelines under Basel III establish a 2.5% capital conservation buffer requirement that was phased in over four years beginning January 1, 2016. The buffer is related to Risk Weighted Assets. In order to avoid limitations on capital distributions such as dividends and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, a banking organization must maintain capital ratios above the minimum ratios including the buffer. The Basel III minimum requirements after giving effect to the buffer as of January 1, of each year presented are as follows:
2016 |
2017 |
2018 |
2019 |
|||||||||||||
Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio |
5.125 | % | 5.75 | % | 6.375 | % | 7.0 | % | ||||||||
Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio |
6.625 | % | 7.25 | % | 7.875 | % | 8.5 | % | ||||||||
Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio |
8.625 | % | 9.25 | % | 9.875 | % | 10.5 | % |
The requirements of Basel III also place more restrictions on the inclusion of deferred tax assets and capitalized mortgage servicing rights as a percentage of Tier 1 Capital. In addition, the risk weights assigned to certain assets such as past due loans and certain real estate loans have been increased.
The requirements of Basel III allowed banks and bank holding companies with less than $250 billion in assets a one-time opportunity to opt-out of a requirement to include unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income in their capital calculation. The Company and Wilson Bank have opted out of this requirement.
The application of these more stringent capital requirements to the Company and Wilson Bank could, among other things, result in lower returns on invested capital, require the raising of additional capital, and result in regulatory actions if the Company and Wilson Bank were to be unable to comply with such requirements. Furthermore, the imposition of liquidity requirements in connection with the implementation of the final rules regarding Basel III could result in the Company or Wilson Bank having to lengthen the term of their funding, restructure their business models and/or increase their holdings of liquid assets. Implementation of changes to asset risk weightings for risk-based capital calculations, items included or deducted in calculating regulatory capital and/or additional capital conservation buffers could result in management modifying its business strategy and could limit the Company’s and Wilson Bank’s ability to make distributions, including paying dividends or buying back shares.
In 2018, the U.S. Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (the “Growth Act”). The Growth Act, among other things, requires the federal banking agencies to issue regulations allowing community bank organizations with total assets of less than $10.0 billion in assets and limited amounts of certain assets and off-balance sheet exposures to access a simpler capital regime focused on a bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital levels rather than risk-based capital levels that are the focus of the capital rules issued under the Dodd-Frank Act implementing Basel III.
In October 2019, the federal banking agencies approved final rules under the Growth Act that exempt a qualifying community bank and its holding company that have community bank leverage ratios, calculated as Tier 1 capital over average total consolidated assets, of greater than 9 percent from the risk-based capital requirements of the capital rules issued under the Dodd-Frank Act. A qualifying community banking organization and its holding company that have chosen the proposed framework are not required to calculate the existing risk-based and leverage capital requirements. Such a bank would also be considered to have met the capital ratio requirements to be well capitalized for the agencies' prompt corrective action rules provided it has a community bank leverage ratio greater than 9 percent.
The Growth Act also raised the eligibility for the small bank holding company policy statement to $3 billion of assets from $1 billion.
The Company is currently evaluating whether or not it will take advantage of these new capital rules under the Growth Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Wilson Bank Holding Company:
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wilson Bank Holding Company and Subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive earnings, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017
(1) |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accounting and reporting policies of Wilson Bank Holding Company (“the Company”) and Wilson Bank & Trust (“Wilson Bank”) are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a brief summary of the significant policies.
|
(a) |
Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Wilson Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(b) |
Nature of Operations |
Wilson Bank operates under a state bank charter and provides full banking services. As a state-chartered bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve, Wilson Bank is subject to regulations of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The areas served by Wilson Bank include Wilson County, DeKalb County, Rutherford County, Smith County, Trousdale County, Putnam County, Sumner County, Davidson County and Williamson County, Tennessee and surrounding counties in Middle Tennessee. Services are provided at the main office and twenty-eight branch locations.
(c) |
Estimates |
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets and other real estate, other-than-temporary impairments of securities, and the fair value of financial instruments.
(d) |
Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located within Middle Tennessee. The types of securities in which the Company invests are described in note 3. The types of lending in which the Company engages are described in note 2. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer other than as disclosed in note 2.
Residential 1-4 family, commercial real estate and construction mortgage loans, represented 24%, 38% and 20% and 22%, 34% and 25% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(e) |
Loans |
The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout Middle Tennessee. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for unearned income, the allowance for loan losses, and any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized on a straight line basis over the respective term of the loan.
As part of its routine credit monitoring process, the Company performs regular credit reviews of the loan portfolio and loans receive risk ratings by the assigned credit officer, which are subject to validation by our independent loan review department. Risk ratings are categorized as pass, special mention, substandard or doubtful. The Company believes that its categories follow those outlined by the FDIC, Wilson Bank's primary federal regulator.
Generally the accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off no later than when they become 180 days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses |
Management provides for loan losses by establishing an allowance. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management’s quarterly review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, we also consider the results of our ongoing independent loan review process. We undertake this process both to ascertain whether there are loans in the portfolio whose credit quality has weakened over time and to assist in our overall evaluation of the risk characteristics of the entire loan portfolio. Our loan review process includes the judgment of management, independent loan reviewers, and reviews that may have been conducted by third-party reviewers. We incorporate relevant loan review results in the loan impairment determination. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to record adjustments to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
In addition to the independent loan review process, the aforementioned risk ratings are subject to continual review by loan officers to determine that the appropriate risk ratings are being utilized in our allowance for loan loss process. Each risk rating is also subject to review by our independent loan review department. Currently, our independent loan review department targets reviews of 100% of existing loan relationships with aggregate debt of $1.0 million and greater and new loans with aggregate debt of $500,000 and greater. In addition, our independent loan review department targets particular portfolio segments, loans assigned to a particular lending officer, past due loans, and loans with four or more renewals.
The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are individually classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience, historical loan loss factors, loss experience of various loan segments, and other adjustments based on management’s assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, mortgage and agricultural loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.

Debt and Equity Securities |
Certain debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as “available-for-sale” and recorded at fair value based on available market prices, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income on an after-tax basis. Securities classified as “available-for-sale” are held for indefinite periods of time and may be sold in response to movements in market interest rates, changes in the maturity or mix of Company assets and liabilities or demand for liquidity. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.
Other-than-temporary Impairment—Impaired securities are assessed quarterly for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount of the security. To determine whether OTTI has occurred, management considers factors such as (1) length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospectus of the issuer, and (3) Wilson Bank’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. If management deems a security to be OTTI, management reviews the present value of the future cash flows associated with the security. A shortfall of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected in relation to the amortized cost basis is referred to as a credit loss. If a credit loss is identified, the credit loss is recognized as a charge to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. If management concludes that no credit loss exists and it is not “more-likely-than-not” that it will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the security’s cost basis, then the security is not deemed OTTI and the shortfall is recorded as a component of equity.
No securities have been classified as trading securities or held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2019.
(h) |
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock |
The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Cincinnati system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB. Based on redemption provisions of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at par value, which approximates its fair value. Management reviews the investment for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the FHLB stock. As of December 31, 2019, this minimum required investment was valued at approximately $4.0 million. Stock redemptions are at the discretion of the FHLB.
|
(i) |
Loans Held for Sale |
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan.
|
(j) |
Premises and Equipment |
Premises and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Gains or losses realized on items retired and otherwise disposed of are credited or charged to operations and cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts.
Expenditures for major renovations and improvements of premises and equipment are capitalized and those for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred.
(k) |
Other Real Estate |
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less the estimated cost to sell at the date the Company acquires the property, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to their acquisition by the Company, valuations of these assets are periodically performed by management, and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance [i.e. any direct write-downs] are included within non-interest expense.

(l) |
Intangible Assets |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets requires that management determine the allocation of intangible assets into identifiable groups at the date of acquisition and that appropriate amortization periods be established. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 350, goodwill is not to be amortized; rather, it is to be monitored for impairment and written down to the impairment value at the time impairment occurs. The Company has determined that no impairment loss needs to be recognized related to its goodwill.
|
(m) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, interest-bearing deposits, amounts due from banks and Federal funds sold. Generally, Federal funds sold are purchased and sold for one day periods. Management makes deposits only with financial institutions it considers to be financially sound.
(n) |
Long-Term Assets |
Premises and equipment, intangible assets, and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
(o) |
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase |
Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by Federal deposit insurance.
|
(p) |
Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for Income Taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes). The Company follows accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.
The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term "more-likely-than-not" means a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The terms "examined" and "upon examination" also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
|
(q) |
Mortgage Banking Derivatives |
Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. The fair value of the interest rate lock is recorded at the time the commitment to fund the mortgage loan is executed and is adjusted for the expected exercise of the commitment before the loan is funded. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest rate on the loan is locked. The Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in net gains on sale of mortgage loans.

Equity-Based Incentives |
Stock compensation accounting guidance (FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The stock compensation accounting guidance covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, cash-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), and employee share purchase plans. Because cash-settled SARs do not give the grantee the choice of receiving stock, all cash-settled SARs are accounted for as liabilities, not equity, as compensation is accrued over the requisite service period.
The stock compensation accounting guidance requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the employees’ service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded-vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options and cash-settled SARs.
(s) |
Advertising Costs |
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred by the Company and totaled $2,498,000, $2,552,000 and $2,326,000 for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
(t) |
Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Accounting Standard Updates |
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Our revenue is primarily comprised of net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09. Because of this, our adoption of this Standard in the first quarter of 2018 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." ASU 2016-01, among other things, (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (v) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and (viii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities. ASU 2016-01 became effective for us on January 1, 2018 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02, among other things, requires lessees to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2016-02 was effective for us on January 1, 2019 and initially required transition using a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements,” which, among other things, provides an additional transition method that allows entities to not apply the guidance in ASU 2016-02 in the comparative periods presented in the financial statements and instead recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In December 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842) - Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” which provides for certain policy elections and changes lessor accounting for sales and similar taxes and certain lessor costs. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 on January 1, 2019, we recorded a right-of-use asset in the amount of $2,600,000 and an offsetting lease liability in the amount of $2,627,000. Upon adoption, using a modified retrospective transition adoption approach, we recognized a cumulative effect reduction to retained earnings totaling $27,000. We elected to apply certain practical expedients provided under ASU 2016-02 whereby we will not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We utilized the modified-retrospective transition approach prescribed by ASU 2018-11.
ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In April 2019, ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” was issued to address certain codification improvements and to provide certain accounting policy electives related to accrued interest as well as disclosure related to credit losses, among other things. In May 2019, ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief,” was issued to provide transition relief in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-03 whereby entities would have the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. ASU 2016-13, as updated, became effective on January 1, 2020.
We are currently working through our implementation plan for ASU 2016-13 under the direction of our Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Credit Officer. Our implementation plan includes assessment and documentation of processes, internal controls and data sources; model development, documentation and validation; and system configuration, among other things. We are also in the process of implementing a third-party vendor solution to assist us in the application of ASU 2016-13. Based upon our preliminary parallel run as of December 31, 2019, we currently expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will not result in a significant change to our current allowance for loan losses and our reserves for unfunded commitments. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is also not currently expected to have a significant impact on our regulatory capital ratios. The ultimate impact of adoption in future periods could be significantly different than our current expectation as our modeling processes will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of that date, notwithstanding any further refinements to our expected credit loss models.
ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 provides guidance related to certain cash flow issues in order to reduce the current and potential future diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 became effective for us on January 1, 2018 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test which required entities to compute the implied fair value of goodwill. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 became effective for us on January 1, 2020, and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20) - Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.” ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of Subtopic 610-20 and adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets, including partial sales of real estate. Historically, U.S. GAAP contained several different accounting models to evaluate whether the transfer of certain assets qualified for sale treatment. ASU 2017-05 reduces the number of potential accounting models that might apply and clarifies which model does apply in various circumstances. ASU 2017-05 became effective for us on January 1, 2018 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) - Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 provides guidance on the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. This update shortens the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. Under current generally accepted accounting principles, entities generally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument related to certain cash flow issues. ASU 2017-08 was effective for us on January 1, 2019 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Under ASU 2017-09, an entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if all of the following are the same immediately before and after the change: (i) the award's fair value, (ii) the award's vesting conditions and (iii) the award's classification as an equity or liability instrument. ASU 2017-09 became effective for us on January 1, 2018 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” ASU 2017-12 amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815 to improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities to better align the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and to reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting. ASU 2017-12 was effective for us on January 1, 2019 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." Under ASU 2018-02, entities may elect to reclassify certain income tax effects related to the change in the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017, from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 also requires certain accounting policy disclosures. We elected to adopt the provisions of ASU 2018-02 for the year ended December 31, 2018 in advance of the required application date of January 1, 2019. See Note 10 - Income Taxes.
ASU 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118.” ASU 2018-05 amends the Accounting Standards Codification to incorporate various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB 118. SAB 118 addresses the application of generally accepted accounting principles in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. See Note 10 - Income Taxes.
ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this update remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, modify/clarify the specific requirements of certain disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. ASU 2018-13 became effective for us on January 1, 2020 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2018-16, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes.” The amendments in this update permit use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the interest rates on direct U.S. Treasury obligations, the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Rate. ASU 2018-16 was effective for us on January 1, 2019 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Other than those previously discussed, there were no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that may materially impact the Company.

Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
Construction and land development: Loans for non-owner-occupied real estate construction or land development are generally repaid through cash flow related to the operation, sale or refinance of the property. The Company also finances construction loans for owner-occupied properties. A portion of the Company’s construction and land portfolio segment is comprised of loans secured by residential product types (residential land and single-family construction). With respect to construction loans to developers and builders that are secured by non-owner occupied properties that the Company may originate from time to time, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success. Construction and land development loans are underwritten utilizing independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, market sales activity, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.
1-4 family residential real estate: Residential real estate loans represent loans to consumers or investors to finance a residence. These loans are typically financed on 15 to 30 year amortization terms, but generally with shorter maturities of 5 to 15 years. Many of these loans are extended to borrowers to finance their primary or secondary residence. Loans to an investor secured by a 1-4 family residence will be repaid from either the rental income from the property or from the sale of the property. This loan segment also includes closed-end home equity loans that are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence. This allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home. Loans in this portfolio segment are underwritten and approved based on a number of credit quality criteria including limits on maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV), minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income. Real estate market values as of the time the loan is made directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in addition, changes in these residential property values impact the depth of potential losses in this portfolio segment.
1-4 family HELOC: This loan segment includes open-end home equity loans that are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence. This allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home utilizing a revolving line of credit. These loans are underwritten and approved based on a number of credit quality criteria including limits on maximum LTV, minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income. Real estate market values as of the time the loan is made directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in addition, changes in these residential property values impact the depth of potential losses in this portfolio segment. Because of the revolving nature of these loans, as well as the fact that many represent second mortgages, this portfolio segment can contain more risk than the amortizing 1-4 family residential real estate loans.
Multi-family and commercial real estate: Multi-family and commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans (which are discussed below), in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate.
Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. The Company also utilizes third-party experts to provide insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends affecting the market areas it serves. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are loans secured by multifamily and commercial properties where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (that is, loans for which 50 percent or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, nonaffiliated rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. These loans are made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail properties. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are loans where the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and business activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.

Commercial and industrial: The commercial and industrial loan portfolio segment includes commercial and industrial loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases or other expansion projects. Collection risk in this portfolio is driven by the creditworthiness of underlying borrowers, particularly cash flow from customers’ business operations. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and usually incorporates a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.
Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio segment includes non-real estate secured direct loans to consumers for household, family, and other personal expenditures. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured and are usually structured with short or medium term maturities. These loans are underwritten and approved based on a number of consumer credit quality criteria including limits on maximum LTV on secured consumer loans, minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income. Many traditional forms of consumer installment credit have standard monthly payments and fixed repayment schedules of one to five years. These loans are made with either fixed or variable interest rates that are based on specific indices. Installment loans fill a variety of needs, such as financing the purchase of an automobile, a boat, a recreational vehicle or other large personal items, or for consolidating debt. These loans may be unsecured or secured by an assignment of title, as in an automobile loan, or by money in a bank account. In addition to consumer installment loans, this portfolio segment also includes secured and unsecured personal lines of credit as well as overdraft protection lines. Loans in this portfolio segment are sensitive to unemployment and other key consumer economic measures.
A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310), when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. Substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans are collateral dependent.

The impact on net interest income for these loans was not material to the Company’s results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Potential problem loans, which include nonperforming loans, amounted to approximately $10.7 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $12.0 million at December 31, 2018. Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms. This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards established by the FDIC, the Company’s primary federal regulator, for loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful, excluding the impact of nonperforming loans.
The following table presents our loan balances by primary loan classification and the amount classified within each risk rating category. Pass rated loans include all credits other than those included in special mention, substandard and doubtful which are defined as follows:
• |
Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. |
• |
Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
• |
Doubtful loans have all the characteristics of substandard loans with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The Company considers all doubtful loans to be impaired and places the loans on nonaccrual status. |

The Company’s loan portfolio includes certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR), where economic or other concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. The concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.
The following table summarizes the carrying balances of TDRs at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company did not have any loan previously classified as a TDR default within twelve months of the restructuring. A default is defined as an occurrence which violates the terms of the receivable’s contract.
As of December 31, 2019 , the Bank did not have any consumer mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company's recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure amounted to $200,000.
The Company’s principal customers are primarily in the Middle Tennessee area with a concentration in Wilson County, Tennessee. Credit is extended to businesses and individuals and is evidenced by promissory notes. The terms and conditions of the loans including collateral vary depending upon the purpose of the credit and the borrower’s financial condition.
In 2019, 2018 and 2017, Wilson Bank originated mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market of $167,723,000, $129,060,000 and $135,835,000, respectively. The fees and gain on sale of these loans totaled $6,802,000, $4,639,000 and $4,258,000 in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer.
In some instances, Wilson Bank sells loans that contain provisions which permit the buyer to seek recourse against Wilson Bank in certain circumstances. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, total mortgage loans sold with recourse in the secondary market aggregated $115,789,000 and $94,801,000, respectively. At December 31, 2019, Wilson Bank has not been required to repurchase a significant amount of the mortgage loans originated by Wilson Bank and sold in the secondary market. Management expects no material losses to result from these recourse provisions.

The Company’s classification of securities at December 31, 2018 was as follows:
There were no debt and equity securities classified as held-to-maturity at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold securities classified as held-to-maturity with a book value of $4,843,000 for a loss of $79,000. Due to the sale, management determined the Company no longer had the intent to hold the remaining securities classified as held-to-maturity to their respective maturity dates and transferred the remaining book value of $22,800,000 to the available-for-sale classification.
Included in mortgage-backed securities are collateralized mortgage obligations totaling $46,994,000 (fair value of $47,442,000) and $11,564,000 (fair value of $11,295,000) at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The amortized cost and estimated market value of debt securities at December 31, 2019, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities of mortgage and asset-backed securities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and our ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in cost.
As of December 31, 2019, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available-for-sale in the table above and believes that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. Any unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2019, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary and no impairment loss has been realized in our consolidated statements of earnings.

Income Taxes |
In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. As a result, the statutory corporate federal tax rate was lowered from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the effect of rate changes are to be recorded as an adjustment to income in the year of enactment. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act being signed into law, the Company revalued all deferred taxes to reflect the new statutory corporate tax rate resulting in a $3,603,000 charge to deferred tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017. This charge included $697,000 related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized as a component of equity as other comprehensive income. Management has elected to reclassify the $697,000 expense related to the available-for-sale rate change from retained earnings to other comprehensive income.
The components of the net deferred tax asset are as follows:

Total income tax expense for 2019, 2018 and 2017, includes $70,000, $170,000 and $67,000 of benefit related to the realized gain and loss, respectively, on sale of securities.
As of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company has not accrued or recognized interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2019.
Wilson Bank does not expect that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. Included in the balance at December 31, 2019, were approximately $9.7 million of tax positions (deferred tax assets) for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
The Company and Wilson Bank file income tax returns in the United States (“U.S.”), as well as in the State of Tennessee. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015. The Company’s Federal tax returns have been audited through December 31, 2005 with no changes.

Total rent expense amounted to $484,000, $362,000 and $215,000, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
At December 31,2019 and 2018 respectively, the Company has lines of credit with other financial institutions totaling $53,000,000. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, there was no balance outstanding under these lines of credit.
The Company also has a Cash Management Advance ("CMA") Line of Credit agreement. The CMA is a component of the Company's Blanket Agreement for advances with the FHLB. The purpose of the CMA is to assist with short-term liquidity management. Under the terms of the CMA, the Company may borrow a maximum of $25,000,000, selecting a variable rate of interest for up to 90 days or a fixed rate for a maximum of 30 days. There were no borrowings outstanding under the CMA at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk |
The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral normally consists of real property.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most guarantees extend from one to two years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The fair value of standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counterparties drawing on such financial instruments and the present creditworthiness of such counterparties. Such commitments have been made on terms which are competitive in the markets in which the Company operates; thus, the fair value of standby letters of credit equals the carrying value for the purposes of this disclosure. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees totaled $73,000,000 at December 31, 2019.
(13) |
Concentration of Credit Risk |
Practically all of the Company’s loans, commitments, and commercial and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Company’s market area. Practically all such customers are depositors of Wilson Bank. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 2 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses.
Interest bearing deposits totaling $89,177,000 were deposited with four commercial banks.
Federal funds sold in the amount of $20,000,000 were deposited with one commercial bank.
(14) |
Employee Benefit Plan |
Wilson Bank has in effect a 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Plan”) which covers eligible employees. To be eligible an employee must have obtained the age of 20.5. The provisions of the 401(k) Plan provide for both employee and employer contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, Wilson Bank contributed $2,540,000, $2,383,000 and $2,145,000, respectively, to the 401(k) Plan.
(15) |
Dividend Reinvestment Plan |
Under the terms of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) holders of common stock may elect to automatically reinvest cash dividends in additional shares of common stock. The Company may elect to sell original issue shares or to purchase shares in the open market for the account of participants. Original issue shares of 179,199 in 2019, 161,514 in 2018 and 125,960 in 2017 were sold to participants under the terms of the DRIP.
(16) |
Regulatory Matters and Restrictions on Dividends |
The Company and Wilson Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Wilson Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Wilson Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Wilson Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total, Tier 1 and common equity Tier 1 capital (each as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, that the Company and Wilson Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017
In July 2013, the Federal banking regulators, in response to the Statutory Requirements of The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, adopted new regulations implementing the Basel Capital Adequacy Accord (“Basel III”) and the related minimum capital ratios. The new capital requirements were effective beginning January 1, 2015. The guidelines under Basel III established a 2.5% capital conservation buffer requirement that was phased in over four years beginning January 1, 2016. The buffer is related to Risk Weighted Assets. In order to avoid limitations on capital distributions such as dividends and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, a banking organization must maintain capital ratios above the minimum ratios including the buffer. The Basel III minimum requirements after giving effect to the buffer as of January 1, of each year presented are as follows:
2016 |
2017 |
2018 |
2019 |

Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio |
8.625 | % | 9.25 | % | 9.875 | % | 10.5 | % |
The requirements of Basel III also place additional restrictions on the inclusion of deferred tax assets and capitalized mortgage servicing rights as a percentage of Tier 1 Capital. In addition, the risk weights assigned to certain assets such as past due loans and certain real estate loans have been increased.
The requirements of Basel III allow banks and bank holding companies with less than $250 billion in assets a one-time opportunity to opt-out of a requirement to include unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income in their capital calculation. The Company and Wilson Bank have opted out of this requirement.
In 2018, the U.S. Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (the “Growth Act”). The Growth Act, among other things, requires the federal banking agencies to issue regulations allowing community bank organizations with total assets of less than $10.0 billion in assets and limited amounts of certain assets and off-balance sheet exposures to access a simpler capital regime focused on a bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital levels rather than risk-based capital levels that are the focus of the capital rules issued under the Dodd-Frank Act implementing Basel III.
In October 2019, the federal banking agencies approved final rules under the Growth Act that exempt a qualifying community bank and its holding company that have community bank leverage ratios, calculated as Tier 1 capital over average total consolidated assets, of greater than 9 percent from the risk-based capital requirements of the capital rules issued under the Dodd-Frank Act. A qualifying community banking organization and its holding company that have chosen the proposed framework are not required to calculate the existing risk-based and leverage capital requirements. Such a bank would also be considered to have met the capital ratio requirements to be well capitalized for the agencies' prompt corrective action rules provided it has a community bank leverage ratio greater than 9 percent.
The Growth Act also raised the eligibility for the small bank holding company policy statement to $3 billion of assets from $1 billion.

Salary Deferral Plans |
The Company provides its executive officers certain non-qualified pension benefits through an Executive Salary Continuation Plan ("the Plan") and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) Agreements ("SERP Agreements"). The Plan and SERP agreements were established by the Board of Directors to reward executive management for past performance and to provide additional incentive to retain the service of executive management. The Plan and SERP Agreements generally provide executives with benefits of a portion of their salary beginning at retirement through life. As a result, the Company has accrued a liability for future obligations under the Plan and SERP Agreements. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the liability related to the Plan totaled $1,786,000 and $1,825,000, respectively. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the liability related to the SERP Agreements totaled $2,778,000 and $2,491,000, respectively.
The Company has purchased life insurance policies to provide the benefits related to the Plan, which at December 31, 2019 and 2018 had an aggregate cash surrender value of $4,657,000 and $4,540,000, respectively, and an aggregate face value of insurance policies in force of $13,526,000 and $13,523,000, respectively. The life insurance policies remain the sole property of the Company and are payable to the Company.
The Company has also purchased bank owned life insurance policies on its executive officers. The insurance policies remain the sole property of the Company and are payable to the Company. The cash surrender value of the life insurance contracts totaled $27,105,000 and $26,412,000 and the face amount of the insurance policies in force approximated $61,067,000 and $61,202,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company has also purchased Flexible Premium Indexed Deferred Annuity Contracts (“Annuity Contracts”) to provide benefits related to the SERP Agreements. The Annuity Contracts remain the sole property of the Company and are payable to the Company. Included in other assets at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are the Annuity Contracts with an aggregate value of $14,471,000 and $14,558,000, respectively.

Equity Incentive Plan |
In April 1999, the stockholders of the Company approved the Wilson Bank Holding Company 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Stock Option Plan”). The Stock Option Plan provided for the granting of stock options, and authorized the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of such options, for up to 200,000 shares of common stock, to officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiary. Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiary could reserve additional shares for issuance under the 1999 Stock Option Plan as needed in order that the aggregate number of shares that could be issued during the term of the 1999 Stock Option Plan was equal to five percent (5%) of the shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. The 1999 Stock Option Plan terminated on April 13, 2009, and no additional rewards may be issued under the 1999 Stock Option Plan. The awards granted under the 1999 Stock Option Plan prior to the plan's termination remained outstanding until exercised or otherwise terminated. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding no outstanding options under the 1999 Stock Option Plan.
In April 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved the Wilson Bank Holding Company 2009 Stock Option Plan (the “2009 Stock Option Plan”). The 2009 Stock Option Plan was effective as of April 14, 2009. Under the 2009 Stock Option Plan, awards could be in the form of options to acquire common stock of the Company. Subject to adjustment as provided by the terms of the 2009 Stock Option Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which awards could be granted under the 2009 Stock Option Plan was 100,000 shares. The 2009 Stock Option Plan terminated on April 13, 2019, and no additional awards may be issued under the 2009 Stock Option Plan. The awards granted under the 2009 Stock Option Plan prior to the Plan's expiration will remain outstanding until exercised or otherwise terminated. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding 20,065 options under the 2009 Stock Option Plan with a weighted average exercise price of $32.66.
As of December 31, 2019, the company had outstanding 140,908 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $40.46 and $32.31. Cash settled stock appreciation rights with weighted average exercise price of $41.75.
In October 2019, the federal banking agencies approved final rules under the Growth Act that exempt a qualifying community bank and its holding company that have community bank leverage ratios, calculated as Tier 1 capital over average total consolidated assets, of greater than 9 percent from the risk-based capital requirements of the capital rules issued under the Dodd-Frank Act. A qualifying community banking organization and its holding company that have chosen the proposed framework are not required to calculate the existing risk-based and leverage capital requirements. Such a bank would also be considered to have met the capital ratio requirements to be well capitalized for the agencies' prompt corrective action rules provided it has a community bank leverage ratio greater than 9 percent.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved the Wilson Bank Holding Company 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which authorizes awards of up to 750,000 shares of common stock. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and effective as of January 25, 2016 and approved by the Company’s shareholders on April 12, 2016. On September 26, 2016, the Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated the “2016 Equity Incentive Plan”) to make clear that directors who are not also employees of the Company may be awarded stock appreciation rights. The primary purpose of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan is to promote the interest of the Company and its shareholders by, among other things, (i) attracting and retaining key officers, employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, (ii) motivating those individuals by means of performance-related incentives to achieve long-range performance goals, (iii) enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company, (iv) encouraging ownership of stock in the Company by such individuals, and (v) linking their compensation to the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. Except for certain limitations, awards can be in the form of stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and restricted share units, performance awards and other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 467,271 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding 120,843 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $41.75 and 132,131 cash-settled stock appreciation rights each with a weighted average exercise price of $41.97.
As of December 31, 2019 the company had outstanding 140,908 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $40.46 and 132,131 cash settled stock appreciation rights with a weighted average exercise price of $41.97.
The fair value of each stock option and cash-settled SAR grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2019, 2018 and 2017:

The expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatility adjusted for consideration of other relevant factors. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The dividend yield and forfeiture rate assumptions are based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts and forfeitures.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives |
Commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors are considered derivatives. It is the Company's practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $10,307,000 and $9,655,000, respectively, of interest rate lock commitments and approximately $14,000,000 and $11,750,000, respectively, of forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivatives was reflected by derivative assets of $328,000 and $335,000 and derivative liabilities of $23,000 and $88,000, respectively, at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Changes in the fair values of these mortgage-banking derivatives are included in net gains on sale of loans.

Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition of fair value focuses on the exit price, i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not the entry price, i.e., the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement; not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Valuation Hierarchy
FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
• |
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets |
• |
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include all prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
• |
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Asset
Securities available-for-sale - Where quoted prices are available for identical securities in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities and certain other financial products. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models that use observable inputs or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation and more complex pricing models or discounted cash flows are used, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. From time to time, we will validate prices supplied by our third party vendor by comparison to prices obtained from third parties.
Impaired loans - A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s original effective rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent. If the recorded investment in the impaired loan exceeds the measure of fair value, a valuation allowance may be established as a component of the allowance for loan losses or the expense is recognized as a charge-off. Impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy due to the unobservable inputs used in determining their fair value such as collateral values and the borrower’s underlying financial condition.
Other real estate owned - Other real estate owned (“OREO”) represents real estate foreclosed upon by the Company through loan defaults by customers or acquired in lieu of foreclosure. Upon foreclosure, the property is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, based on appraised value, less selling costs estimated as of the date acquired with any loss recognized as a charge-off through the allowance for loan losses. Additional OREO losses for subsequent valuation downward adjustments are determined on a specific property basis and are included as a component of noninterest expense along with holding costs. Any gains or losses realized at the time of disposal are also reflected in noninterest income. OREO is included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to the lack of observable market inputs into the determination of fair value. Appraisal values are property-specific and sensitive to the changes in the overall economic environment.
Bank Owned Life Insurance - The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance policies is carried at fair value. The Company uses financial information received from insurance carriers indicating the performance of the insurance policies and cash surrender values in determining the carrying value of life insurance. The Company reflects these assets within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to the unobservable inputs included in the valuation of these items. The Company does not consider the fair values of these policies to be materially sensitive to changes in these unobservable inputs.
Mortgage loans held for sale - Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan and mortgage loans held for sale are included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Derivatives - The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

(2) | The fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which may include Level 3 inputs that are not identifiable, or by using the discounted cash flow method if the loan is not collateral dependent. |
In the case of its investment securities portfolio, the Company monitors the valuation technique utilized by various pricing agencies to ascertain when transfers between levels have been affected. The nature of the remaining assets and liabilities is such that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be rare. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3.

The table below includes a rollforward of the balance sheet amounts for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (including the change in fair value) for financial instruments classified by the Company within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, since Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology (in thousands):

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow models. Those models are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates, estimates of future cash flows and borrower creditworthiness. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Such amounts have not been revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.
Loans - The fair value of our loan portfolio includes a credit risk factor in the determination of the fair value of our loans. This credit risk assumption is intended to approximate the fair value that a market participant would realize in a hypothetical orderly transaction.
Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow models, using current market interest rates offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. We believe current market rates capture a market participant's cost of funds, liquidity premium, capital charges, servicing charges and expectations of future rate movements. The values derived from the discounted cash flow approach for each of the above portfolios are then further discounted to incorporate credit risk to determine the exit price.
Deposits, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances - Fair values for deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow models, using current market interest rates offered on deposits with similar remaining maturities.
Restricted equity securities - It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank or Federal Reserve Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.
Accrued interest receivable/payable - The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification based on the asset/liability with which they are associated.
Off-balance sheet instruments - Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

The following table presents the carrying amounts, estimated fair value and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. 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.
