MIDLAND STATES BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – Business Description
Midland States Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a diversified financial holding company headquartered in Effingham, Illinois. Its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Midland States Bank (the “Bank”), has branches across Illinois and in Missouri and provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking products and services, business equipment financing, merchant credit card services, trust and investment management, and insurance and financial planning services. In addition, multifamily and healthcare facility Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) financing is provided through Love Funding Corporation (“Love Funding”), our non-bank subsidiary.
On July 17, 2019, we completed the acquisition of HomeStar Financial Group, Inc. (“HomeStar”) and its banking subsidiary, HomeStar Bank and Financial Services (“HomeStar Bank”), as more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Through the acquisition of HomeStar, we expanded our commercial and retail banking presence in northern Illinois. After the acquisition, HomeStar Bank operated as a subsidiary of the Company until its merger into the Bank in October 2019.
Our principal business activity has been lending to and accepting deposits from individuals, businesses, municipalities and other entities. We have derived income principally from interest charged on loans and, to a lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on investment securities. We have also derived income from noninterest sources, such as: fees received in connection with various lending and deposit services; wealth management services; residential mortgage loan originations, sales and servicing; and, from time to time, gains on sales of assets. Our income sources also include Love Funding’s commercial FHA loan origination and servicing income. Our principal expenses include interest expense on deposits and borrowings, operating expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing costs, professional fees and other noninterest expenses, provisions for loan losses and income tax expense.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2019. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. A discussion of these policies can be found in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There has been one change to our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2018, which is described below. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented herein, have been included. Certain reclassifications of 2018 amounts have been made to conform to the 2019 presentation. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other period.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held for customers in a fiduciary or agency capacity, other than trust cash on deposit with the Bank, are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2019
FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements.” The new standard established a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Under the new guidance, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of income. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, and used the effective date as its date of initial application.
A modified retrospective adoption approach is required, applying the new standard to all existing leases in effect at the adoption date and new leases going forward. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods prior to January 1, 2019. This update also allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients” permitted by ASU 2018-11, which allows us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for its office equipment leases. This means, for those leases that qualify, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition.
At the adoption date, the Company reported increased assets and liabilities of approximately $12.1 million on its consolidated balance sheet as a result of recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities related to non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated statement of income.
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted
FASB ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” – In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”).” The objective of this update is to improve financial reporting by providing timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will use forward-looking information to better understand their credit loss estimates. For public companies that are filers with the SEC and not smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. As previously disclosed, the Company has established a cross-functional governance structure, which oversees overall strategy for implementation of Topic 326. Additionally, a working group was formed and has developed a project plan focused on understanding the ASU, researching issues, data requirements, technology solutions and future state processes. The Company engaged a third party to carry out model validation during the third quarter of 2019. The model validation is in its final stages of review and will be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2019. The existing allowance for loan loss model is running parallel to the CECL model prior to final implementation in the first quarter of 2020. The working group has identified 12 distinct loan classes for which a model has been developed and internally validated. The Company continues to focus on researching and resolving interpretive accounting issues in the ASU, contemplating various related accounting policies, finalizing processes and related controls and considering various reporting disclosures. The Company also continues to believe that the adoption of the standard will result in an overall increase in the allowance for loan losses to cover credit losses over the estimated life of the financial assets. However, the magnitude of the increase in its allowance for loan losses at the adoption date will depend upon the nature and characteristics of the portfolio at the adoption date, as well as macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that time.

FASB ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 to improve the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendment removes certain disclosures required by Topic 820 related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The update also adds certain disclosure requirements related to changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, but it is not expected to have a material impact.
Note 3 – Acquisitions
HomeStar Financial Group, Inc.
On July 17, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of HomeStar, and its wholly owned subsidiary, HomeStar Bank, which operated five full-service banking centers in northern Illinois. In aggregate, the Company acquired HomeStar for consideration valued at approximately $11.4 million, which consisted of approximately $1.0 million in cash and the issuance of 404,968 shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while $5.0 million of transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition have been expensed during 2019, and remaining integration costs will be expensed in future periods as incurred.
9
Management’s preliminary valuation of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on assumptions that are subject to change, and the resulting allocation of the consideration paid for the allocation is reflected in the table below. Prior to the end of the one-year measurement period for finalizing the consideration paid allocation, if information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are required to the allocation, such adjustments will be included in the allocation in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.
Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of HomeStar into the Company. The goodwill is assigned as part of the Company’s banking reporting unit. The portion of the consideration paid allocated to goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.
The identifiable assets acquired from HomeStar included core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles, which are being amortized on an accelerated basis as shown above.
Acquired loan data for HomeStar can be found in the table below:
10
The unaudited pro-forma financial information below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 gives effect to the acquisition of HomeStar as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018, which combines the historical results of HomeStar with the Company’s consolidated statements of income, adjusted for the impact of the application of the acquisition method of accounting including loan discount accretion, intangible assets amortization, and deposit premium accretion, net of taxes. The unaudited pro-forma financial information also gives effect to the acquisition of Alpine Bancorporation, Inc. that closed on February 28, 2018 as if that transaction became effective January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro-forma financial information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2018. No assumptions have been applied regarding revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions. Only the acquisition-related expenses that have been incurred as of September 30, 2019 are included in net income in the table below. Acquisition-related expenses associated with HomeStar that were recognized and are included in the unaudited pro-forma net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $4.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively, on a pre-tax basis.
(1) | Net interest income plus noninterest income |
Alpine Bancorporation, Inc.
On February 28, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Alpine Bancorporation, Inc. (“Alpine”) and its banking subsidiary, Alpine Bank & Trust Co. (“Alpine Bank”), which operated 19 locations in northern Illinois. In the aggregate, the Company acquired Alpine for consideration valued at approximately $173.2 million, which consisted of approximately $33.3 million in cash and the issuance of 4,463,200 shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while $22.4 million of transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred. As of February 28, 2019, the Company finalized its valuation of all assets acquired liabilities assumed in its acquisition of Alpine, resulting in no material change to acquisition accounting adjustments.

Unrealized losses and fair values for investment securities available for sale as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, are summarized as follows:
For all of the above investment securities, the unrealized losses are generally due to changes in interest rates, and unrealized losses are considered to be temporary as the fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their respective maturity dates.
We evaluate securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis, at a minimum, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In estimating OTTI losses, we consider the severity and duration of the impairment; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, which for debt securities considers external credit ratings and recent downgrades; and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value.
At September 30, 2019, 47 investment securities available for sale had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.74% from their amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses related principally to the fluctuations in the current interest rate environment. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, we consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. The Company does not have the intent to sell and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery in value; therefore, the Company does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.
12
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize OTTI losses on its investment securities.
The following is a summary of the amortized cost and fair value of the available-for-sale investment securities, by maturity, at September 30, 2019. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be prepaid without penalties. The maturities of all other available-for-sale investment securities are based on final contractual maturity.
Proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale were $1.0 million and $29.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Gross realized gains from the sale of securities available for sale were $25,000 and $151,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. There were no gross realized losses from the sale of securities available for sale for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Gross realized losses from the sale of securities available for sale were $190,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale were $16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. There were no sales of securities available for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Gross realized gains and gross realized losses from the sale of securities available for sale were $73,000 and $25,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Proceeds from the sale of equity securities were $105,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. There were no sales of equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Gross realized gains from the sale of equity securities were $78,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. There were no gross realized losses from the sale of equity securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized net unrealized gains of $54,000 and $92,000, respectively, on equity securities, which was recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of income.

Credit Quality Monitoring
The Company maintains loan policies and credit underwriting standards as part of the process of managing credit risk. These standards include making loans generally within the Company’s four main regions, which include eastern, northern and southern Illinois and the St. Louis metropolitan area. Our equipment leasing business provides financing to business customers across the country.
The Company has a loan approval process involving underwriting and individual and group loan approval authorities to consider credit quality and loss exposure at loan origination. The loans in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio are risk rated at origination based on the grading system set forth below. All loan authority is based on the aggregate credit to a borrower and its related entities. All loans in the commercial loan portfolio have an assigned relationship manager, and most borrowers provide periodic financial and operating information that allows the relationship managers to stay abreast of credit quality during the life of the loans. The risk ratings of loans in the commercial loan portfolio are reassessed at least annually, with loans below an acceptable risk rating reassessed more frequently and reviewed by various individuals within the Company at least quarterly.
The Company’s consumer loan portfolio is primarily comprised of both secured and unsecured loans that are relatively small and are evaluated at origination on a centralized basis against standardized underwriting criteria. The ongoing measurement of credit quality of the consumer loan portfolio is largely done on an exception basis. If payments are made on schedule, as agreed, then no further monitoring is performed. However, if delinquency occurs, the delinquent loans are turned over to the Company’s Consumer Collections Group for resolution. Credit quality for the
14
entire consumer loan portfolio is measured by the periodic delinquency rate, nonaccrual amounts and actual losses incurred.
The Company maintains a centralized independent loan review function that monitors the approval process and ongoing asset quality of the loan portfolio, including the accuracy of loan grades. The Company also maintains an independent appraisal review function that participates in the review of all appraisals obtained by the Company.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company uses a ten grade risk rating system to monitor the ongoing credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio, which includes commercial, commercial real estate and construction and land development loans. These loan grades rank the credit quality of a borrower by measuring liquidity, debt capacity, and coverage and payment behavior as shown in the borrower’s financial statements. The risk grades also measure the quality of the borrower’s management and the repayment support offered by any guarantors.
The Company considers all loans with Risk Grades of 1 – 6 as acceptable credit risks and structures and manages such relationships accordingly. Periodic financial and operating data combined with regular loan officer interactions are deemed adequate to monitor borrower performance. Loans with Risk Grades of 7 are considered “watch credits” and the frequency of loan officer contact and receipt of financial data is increased to stay abreast of borrower performance. Loans with Risk Grades of 8 – 10 are considered problematic and require special care. Further, loans with Risk Grades of 7 – 10 are managed and monitored regularly through a number of processes, procedures and committees, including oversight by a loan administration committee comprised of executive and senior management of the Company, which includes highly structured reporting of financial and operating data, intensive loan officer intervention and strategies to exit, as well as potential management by the Company’s Special Assets Group. Loans not graded in the commercial loan portfolio are monitored by aging status and payment activity.
The following table presents the recorded investment of the commercial loan portfolio (excluding PCI loans) by risk category as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
The Company evaluates the credit quality of its other loan portfolio, which includes residential real estate, consumer and lease financing loans, based primarily on the aging status of the loan and payment activity. Accordingly, loans on nonaccrual status, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired for purposes of credit quality evaluation. The following table presents the recorded investment of our other loan portfolio (excluding PCI loans) based on the credit risk profile of loans that are performing and loans that are impaired as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
Impaired Loans
Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings. Impaired loans at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 do not include $47.8 million and $43.0 million, respectively, of PCI loans. The risk of credit loss on acquired loans was recognized as part of the fair value adjustment at the acquisition date.
15
There was no interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 while the loans were in nonaccrual status. Additional interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms was $532,000 and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $421,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized interest income on commercial and commercial real estate loans modified under troubled debt restructurings of $26,000 and $89,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $17,000 and $75,000 for the comparable periods in 2018, respectively.
The following table presents impaired loans (excluding PCI loans) by portfolio and related valuation allowance as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
16
The difference between a loan’s recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance represents: (1) a partial charge-off resulting from a confirmed loss due to the value of the collateral securing the loan being below the loan’s principal balance and management’s assessment that the full collection of the loan balance is not likely and/or (2) payments received on nonaccrual loans that are fully applied to principal on the loan’s recorded investment as compared to being applied to principal and interest on the unpaid customer principal and interest balance. The difference between the recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance on loans was $15.0 million and $11.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The average balance of impaired loans (excluding PCI loans) and interest income recognized on impaired loans during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are included in the table below:

The aging status of the recorded investment in loans by portfolio (excluding PCI loans) as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Loans modified as TDRs for commercial and commercial real estate loans generally consist of allowing commercial borrowers to defer scheduled principal payments and make interest only payments for a specified period of time at the stated interest rate of the original loan agreement or lower payments due to a modification of the loans’
18
contractual terms. TDRs that continue to accrue interest and are greater than $50,000 are individually evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis, and transferred to nonaccrual status when it is probable that any remaining principal and interest payments due on the loan will not be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. TDRs that subsequently default are individually evaluated for impairment at the time of default. The allowance for loan losses on TDRs totaled $584,000 and $557,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company had no unfunded commitments in connection with TDRs at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The Company’s TDRs are identified on a case-by-case basis in connection with the ongoing loan collection processes. The following table presents TDRs by loan portfolio (excluding PCI loans) as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
(1) | These loans are still accruing interest. |
(2) | These loans are included in non-accrual loans in the preceding tables. |
The following table presents a summary of loans by portfolio that were restructured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the loans by portfolio that were modified as TDRs within the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019:

The following table presents a summary of loans by portfolio that were restructured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the loans by portfolio that were modified as TDRs within the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018:
Purchased Credit Impaired Loans
The Company has purchased loans for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.
Accretable yield of PCI loans, or income expected to be collected, was as follows:
Accretion recorded as loan interest income totaled $1.8 million and $4.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $1.3 million and $3.7 million for the comparable periods in 2018, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company’s loan portfolio is principally comprised of commercial, commercial real estate, construction and land development, residential real estate and consumer loans and lease financing receivables. The principal risks to each category of loans are as follows:
Commercial – The principal risk of commercial loans is that these loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the collateral underlying the loans. Most often, this collateral consists of accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Inventory and equipment may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. If the cash flow from business
20
operations is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. As such, repayment of such loans is often more sensitive than other types of loans to adverse conditions in the general economy.
Commercial real estate – As with commercial loans, repayment of commercial real estate loans is often dependent on the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the commercial venture. While commercial real estate loans are collateralized by the borrower’s underlying real estate, foreclosure on such assets may be more difficult than with other types of collateralized loans because of the possible effect the foreclosure would have on the borrower’s business, and property values may tend to be partially based upon the value of the business situated on the property.
Construction and land development – Construction and land development lending involves additional risks not generally present in other types of lending because funds are advanced upon the estimated future value of the project, which is uncertain prior to its completion and at the time the loan is made, and costs may exceed realizable values in declining real estate markets. Moreover, if the estimate of the value of the completed project proves to be overstated or market values or rental rates decline, the collateral may prove to be inadequate security for the repayment of the loan. Additional funds may also be required to complete the project, and the project may have to be held for an unspecified period of time before a disposition can occur.
Residential real estate – The principal risk to residential real estate lending is associated with residential loans not sold into the secondary market. In such cases, the value of the underlying property may have deteriorated as a result of a change in the residential real estate market, and the borrower may have little incentive to repay the loan or continue living in the property. Additionally, in areas with high vacancy rates, reselling the property without substantial loss may be difficult.
Consumer – The repayment of consumer loans is typically dependent on the borrower remaining employed through the life of the loan, as well as the possibility that the collateral underlying the loan, if applicable, may not be adequately maintained by the borrower.
Lease financing – Our financing leases are primarily for business equipment leased to varying types of businesses nationwide for the purchase of business equipment and software. If the cash flow from business operations is reduced, the business’s ability to repay may become impaired.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company committed to a branch network consolidation plan. The Company plans to close one facility and consolidate two additional facilities as a result of the acquisition of HomeStar, as further discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company also plans to consolidate three other existing facilities in other areas of its footprint. Consequently, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $3.1 million of asset impairment on banking facilities to be closed, which was recognized in other expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Note 7 – Leases
The Company determines if a lease is present at the inception of an agreement. Operating leases are capitalized at commencement and are discounted using the Company’s FHLB borrowing rate for a similar term borrowing unless the lease defines an implicit rate within the contract. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used.
The ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. No significant judgments or assumptions were involved in developing the estimated operating lease liabilities as the Company’s operating lease liabilities largely represent future rental expenses associated with operating leases and the borrowing rates are based on publicly available interest rates.
The Company has operating leases for banking centers and operating facilities. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 2 months to 13 years, some of which may include options to extend the lease terms for up to an additional 5 years. The options to extend are included if they are reasonably certain to be exercised.
As of September 30, 2019, operating lease ROU assets totaled $14.8 million and operating lease liabilities totaled $16.4 million.
Information related to operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was as follows:
The projected minimum rental payments under the terms of the leases as of September 30, 2019 were as follows:

Note 8 – Loan Servicing Rights
Commercial FHA and Residential Mortgage Loan Servicing
The Company serviced commercial FHA mortgage loans for others with unpaid principal balances of $4.02 billion and $3.98 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Changes in our commercial FHA loan servicing rights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are summarized as follows:
The following table is a summary of key assumptions, representing both general economic and other published information and the weighted average characteristics of the commercial portfolio, used in the valuation of servicing rights at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Assumptions used in the prepayment rate consider many factors as appropriate, including lockouts, balloons, prepayment penalties, interest rate ranges, delinquencies and geographic location. The discount rate is based on an average pre-tax internal rate of return utilized by market participants in pricing the servicing portfolio. Significant increases or decreases in any one of these assumptions would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
We recognize revenue from servicing commercial FHA and residential mortgages as earned based on the specific contractual terms. This revenue, along with amortization of and changes in impairment of servicing rights, is reported in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. Loan servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. The fair value of loan servicing rights and their sensitivity to changes in interest rates is influenced by the mix of the servicing portfolio and characteristics of each segment of the portfolio. The Company’s servicing portfolio consists of the distinct portfolios of government-insured residential and commercial mortgages and conventional residential mortgages. The fair value of our servicing rights is estimated by using a cash flow valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, cost to service, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees, replacement reserves and other economic factors that are determined based on current market conditions.
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company serviced residential mortgage loans for others with unpaid principal balances of $401.6 million and $897.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company sold mortgage servicing rights held for sale of $3.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively. There were no sales of mortgage servicing rights held for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. At September 30, 2019, total residential mortgage servicing rights of $1.9 million are reflected in mortgage servicing rights held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet.
25
United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Loan Servicing
As a result of the acquisition of HomeStar, as further discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired SBA loan servicing rights. At September 30, 2019, the Company serviced SBA loans for others with unpaid principal balances of $48.1 million. At September 30, 2019, SBA loan servicing rights of $1.2 million are reflected in loan servicing rights in the consolidated balance sheet. We recognize revenue from servicing SBA loans as earned based on the specific contract terms. This revenue, along with amortization of and changes in impairment of servicing rights, is reported in other income in the consolidated statements of income.
Note 9 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, goodwill totaled $171.1 million and $164.7 million, reflecting an increase of $6.4 million as a result of the acquisition of HomeStar, as further discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
The following table summarizes the carrying amount of goodwill by segment at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The Company’s intangible assets, consisting of core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are summarized as follows:
In conjunction with the acquisition of HomeStar, the Company recorded $4.3 million of core deposit intangibles and $300,000 of customer relationship intangibles, which are being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 12 years and six years, respectively.
Amortization of intangible assets was $1.8 million and $5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $1.9 million and $5.1 million for the comparable periods in 2018, respectively.
Note 10 – Derivative Instruments
As part of the Company’s overall management of interest rate sensitivity, the Company utilizes derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility, including interest rate lock commitments, forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities and interest rate swap contracts.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments / Forward Commitments to Sell Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company issues interest rate lock commitments on originated fixed-rate commercial and residential real estate loans to be sold. The interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale are hedged with forward contracts to sell mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments and forward contracts to sell mortgage-backed securities are included in other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in
26
the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
The following table summarizes the interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities held by the Company, their notional amount and estimated fair values at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized net gains of $513,000 and net losses of $188,000, respectively, on derivative instruments in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized net gains of $1.2 million and net losses of $941,000, respectively, on derivative instruments in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts sold to commercial customers who wish to modify their interest rate sensitivity. The swaps are offset by contracts simultaneously purchased by the Company from other financial dealer institutions with mirror-image terms. Because of the mirror-image terms of the offsetting contracts, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, changes in the fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on earnings. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting.
The notional amounts of the customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $9.1 million and $9.5 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair value of the customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments was $454,000 and $145,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction, which represents the amount of the Bank’s obligation. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Investment securities with a carrying amount of $137.4 million and $132.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
The Company had available lines of credit of $34.3 million and $56.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, from the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The lines are collateralized by a collateral agreement with respect to a pool of commercial real estate loans totaling $41.6 million and $67.6 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had available federal funds lines of credit totaling $26.0 million. These lines of credit were unused at September 30, 2019.

On September 20, 2019, the Company issued, through a private placement, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated debentures. The transaction was structured in two tranches: (1) $72.75 million, maturing on September 30, 2029 with a redemption option on or after September 30, 2024, with a fixed rate of interest of 5.00% for the first five years, payable semiannually in arrears beginning March 30, 2020, and a floating rate of interest equivalent to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 361.0 basis points thereafter, payable quarterly in arrears beginning on December 30, 2024; and (2) $27.25 million, maturing on September 30, 2034 with a redemption option on or after September 30, 2029, with a fixed rate of interest of 5.50% for the first ten years, payable semiannually in arrears beginning March 30, 2020, and a floating rate of interest equivalent to the three-month SOFR plus 404.5 basis points thereafter, payable quarterly in arrears beginning on December 30, 2029. The value of the subordinated debentures was reduced by $1.6 million of issuance costs, which are being amortized on a straight line basis through the redemption option of the subordinated notes. The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier 2 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations.
Note 15 – Preferred stock
Fixed Rate Non-Voting Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series H
On July 29, 2019, the Company redeemed, in whole, the shares of Series H preferred stock. The price paid by the Company for such shares was equal to $1,000 per share plus any unpaid dividends.
Note 16 – Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are calculated utilizing the two-class method. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock awards. The diluted earnings per share computation for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 excluded antidilutive stock options of 91,943 and for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 3018 excluded antidilutive stock options of 662 because the exercise prices of these stock options exceeded the average market prices of
29
the Company’s common shares for those respective periods. Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Note 17 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange 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 reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:
● | Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. |
● | Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data. |
● | Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. |
Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value, including financial assets for which the Company has elected the fair value option, on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are summarized below:

Loan Servicing Rights. In accordance with GAAP, the Company must record impairment charges on loan servicing rights on a non-recurring basis when the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. The fair value of our servicing rights is estimated by using a cash flow valuation model, which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration expected loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs, replacement reserves and other economic factors which are estimated based on current market conditions. The determination of fair value of servicing rights relies upon Level 3 inputs. The fair value of loan servicing rights was $54.1 million and $53.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Impaired loans. Impaired loans are measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. All of our nonaccrual loans and restructured loans are considered impaired and are reviewed individually for the amount of impairment, if any. Most of our loans are collateral dependent and, accordingly, we measure impaired loans based on the estimated fair value of such collateral. The fair value of each loan’s collateral is generally based on estimated market prices from an independently prepared appraisal, which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidating such collateral; such valuation inputs result in a nonrecurring fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 2 measurement. When adjustments are made to an appraised value to reflect various factors such as the age of the appraisal or known changes in the market or the collateral, such valuation inputs are considered unobservable and the fair value measurement is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. The impaired loans categorized as Level 3 also include unsecured loans and other secured loans whose fair values are based significantly on unobservable inputs such as the strength of a guarantor, cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate, and management’s judgment.
ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate such fair values. Additionally, certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from the applicable disclosure requirements.
The Company has elected the fair value option for newly originated commercial and residential loans held for sale. These loans are intended for sale and are hedged with derivative instruments. We have elected the fair value option to mitigate accounting mismatches in cases where hedge accounting is complex and to achieve operational simplification.

Note 18 – Commitments, Contingencies and Credit Risk
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various contingent liabilities such as claims and legal actions, which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. No material losses are anticipated as a result of these actions or claims.
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.
Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank used the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The commitments are principally tied to variable rates. Loan commitments as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:
The Company establishes a mortgage repurchase liability to reflect management’s estimate of losses on loans for which the Company could have a repurchase obligation based on the volume of loans sold in 2019 and years prior, borrower default expectations, historical investor repurchase demand and appeals success rates, and estimated loss severity. Loans repurchased from investors are initially recorded at fair value, which becomes the Company’s new accounting basis. Any difference between the loan’s fair value and the outstanding principal amount is charged or credited to the mortgage repurchase liability, as appropriate. Subsequent to repurchase, such loans are carried in loans receivable. As a result of make-whole requests and loan repurchases, the Company incurred losses totaling $11,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. There were no losses as a result of make-whole requests and loan repurchases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The liability for unresolved repurchase demands totaled $289,000 and $492,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Note 21 – Revenue From Contracts with Customers
The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of Topic 606 is recognized within noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and investment securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as commercial FHA revenue, residential mortgage banking revenue and gain on sales of investment securities, net are also not in scope of Topic 606. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest income streams such as wealth management revenue, service charges on deposit accounts, interchange revenue, gain on sales of other real estate owned, and certain other noninterest income streams. The noninterest income streams considered in-scope by Topic 606 are discussed below.
Wealth Management Revenue
Wealth management revenue is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company also earns investment advisory fees through its SEC registered investment advisory subsidiary. The Company’s performance obligation in both of these instances is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and contractually determined fee schedules. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to each customer’s account. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered. Fees generated from transactions executed by the Company’s third party broker dealer are remitted by them to the Company on a monthly basis for that month’s transactional activity.
37
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of fees received under depository agreements with customers to provide access to deposited funds, serve as custodian of deposited funds, and when applicable, pay interest on deposits. These service charges primarily include non-sufficient fund fees and other account related service charges. Non-sufficient fund fees are earned when a depositor presents an item for payment in excess of available funds, and the Company, at its discretion, provides the necessary funds to complete the transaction. The Company generates other account related service charge revenue by providing depositors proper safeguard and remittance of funds as well as by delivering optional services for depositors, such as check imaging or treasury management, that are performed upon the depositor’s request. The Company’s performance obligation for the proper safeguard and remittance of funds, monthly account analysis and any other monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is typically received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to a customer’s account.
Interchange Revenue
Interchange revenue includes debit / credit card income and ATM user fees. Card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned for standing ready to authorize and providing settlement on card transactions processed through the MasterCard interchange network. The levels and structure of interchange rates are set by MasterCard and can vary based on cardholder purchase volumes. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with completion of the Company’s performance obligation, the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder withdraws funds from a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder withdraws funds from a Company ATM. The Company satisfies its performance obligation for each transaction at the point in time when the ATM withdrawal is processed.
Gain on Sales of Other Real Estate Owned
The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to a buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain or loss on sale if a significant financing component is present.
Other Noninterest Income
The other noninterest income revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606 consist of merchant services revenue, safe deposit box rentals, wire transfer fees, paper statement fees, check printing commissions, and other noninterest related fees. Revenue from the Company’s merchant services business consists principally of transaction and account management fees charged to merchants for the electronic processing of transactions. These fees are net of interchange fees paid to the credit card issuing bank, card company assessments, and revenue sharing amounts. Account management fees are considered earned at the time the merchant’s transactions are processed or other services are performed. Fees related to the other components of other noninterest income within the scope of Topic 606 are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied and related revenue recognized, at the point in time the customer uses the selected service to execute a transaction.

Significant Transactions
Each item listed below materially affects the comparability of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and our financial condition as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and may affect the comparability of financial information we report in future fiscal periods.
Issuance of Subordinated Debt. On September 20, 2019, the Company issued, through a private placement, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes, which was structured into two tranches: $72.75 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029, and $27.25 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2034. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay a $30.0 million senior term loan and intends to use the remaining net proceeds to redeem $40.3 million of existing subordinated debt in June 2020, which is the date that the existing subordinated debt becomes redeemable, and for general corporate purposes.
Stock Repurchase. On July 29, 2019, the Company redeemed, in whole, the shares of Series H preferred stock. The price paid by the Company for such shares was equal to $1,000 per share plus any unpaid dividends.
Recent Acquisitions. On July 17, 2019, the Company acquired HomeStar for total consideration valued at approximately $11.4 million, which consisted of $1.0 million in cash and the issuance of 404,968 shares of the Company’s common stock. All identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were adjusted to their estimated acquisition date fair values, and the results of HomeStar’s operations have been included in the consolidated statements of income beginning on that date, including $5.0 million of transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition. Intangible assets recognized as a result of the transaction consisted of $6.4 million in goodwill, $4.3 million in core deposit intangibles and $0.3 million in customer relationship intangibles.
On February 28, 2018, the Company acquired Alpine for total consideration valued at approximately $173.2 million, which consisted of $33.3 million in cash and the issuance of 4,463,200 shares of the Company’s common stock. All identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were adjusted to their acquisition date fair values, and the results of Alpine’s operations have been included in the consolidated statements of income beginning on that date, including $21.5 million of transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition. Intangible assets recognized as a result of the transaction consisted of $66.0 million in goodwill, $21.1 million in core deposit intangibles and $6.3 million in customer relationship intangibles.
39
Purchased Loans. Our net interest margin benefits from favorable changes in expected cash flows on our PCI loans and from accretion income associated with purchase accounting discounts established on the non-PCI loans included in our acquisitions. Our reported net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 3.70% and 3.59%, respectively. Accretion income associated with accounting discounts established on loans acquired totaled $3.1 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, increasing the reported net interest margin by 20 and 10 basis points for each respective period. The reported net interest margin for both the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 3.73%. Accretion income associated with purchase accounting discounts established on loans acquired totaled $9.0 million and $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, increasing the reported net interest margin by 21 and 22 basis points for each respective period.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income and Margin. Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from interest-earning assets (primarily loans and securities) and interest expense of funding sources (primarily interest-bearing deposits and borrowings). Net interest income is influenced by many factors, primarily the volume and mix of interest-earning assets, funding sources, and interest rate fluctuations. Noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, also support earning assets. The impact of the noninterest-bearing sources of funds is captured in net interest margin, which is calculated as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin is presented on a tax-equivalent basis, which means that tax-free interest income has been adjusted to a pretax-equivalent income, assuming a federal income tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
As described above, one of the factors that impacts net interest income is interest rate fluctuations. The Federal Reserve implemented quarterly interest rate increases in 2018, with the last increase of 25 basis points in December 2018. These increases impact the comparability of net interest income between 2018 and 2019 because the Federal Reserve decreased interest rates by 25 basis points in both August 2019 and September 2019.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to $50.0 million compared to $45.7 million for the comparative prior year quarter. Additionally, the tax-equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.70% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 3.59% in the third quarter of 2018.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we generated $142.7 million of net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, compared to $133.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.73% for both the first nine months of 2019 and 2018.
Average Balance Sheet, Interest and Yield/Rate Analysis. The following tables present the average balance sheets, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yields earned and rates paid for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The average balances are principally daily averages and, for loans, include both performing and nonperforming balances. Interest income on loans includes the effects of discount accretion and net deferred loan origination costs accounted for as yield adjustments.

Interest Rates and Operating Interest Differential. Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period’s average rate. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average rate by the previous period’s volume. Changes which are not due solely to volume or rate have been allocated proportionally to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.
Interest Income. Interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $7.9 million to $65.5 million in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the same quarter in 2018 primarily due to an increase in the yield on earning assets to 4.85% from 4.52%. The increase in yield on earning assets was primarily driven by an increase in the yield on loans due mainly to the impact of higher market interest rates and accretion income associated with accounting discounts established on loans acquired, which totaled $3.1 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, increasing the reported net interest margin by 20 and 10 basis points for each respective period. Average earning assets increased to $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2019 from $5.1 million in the same quarter in 2018 primarily driven by an increase in average loan balances resulting from the $211.2 million of loans added from the acquisition of HomeStar.
Interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $23.3 million to $186.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018 due to an increase in average earning assets and yield on earning assets to 4.88% from 4.58%. Average earning assets increased to $5.1 million in the first nine months of 2019 from $4.8 million in the same period in 2018 primarily driven by an increase in average loan balances resulting from the $211.2 million of loans added from the acquisition of HomeStar and the full nine month effect of loans added from the acquisition of Alpine in February 2018. The increase in yield on earning assets was primarily driven by an increase in the yield on loans due mainly to the impact of higher market interest rates and accretion income associated with purchase accounting discounts established on loans acquired, which totaled $9.0 million and $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, increasing the reported net interest margin by 21 and 22 points for each respective period.
43
Interest Expense. Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities increased $3.7 million to $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the same quarter in 2018 primarily due to higher interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds mainly due to the impact of higher market interest rates. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense was increased average interest-bearing deposits primarily as a result of the addition of $251.4 million of interest-bearing deposits from the acquisition of HomeStar.
Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities increased $13.7 million to $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to higher interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds mainly due to the impact of higher market interest rates combined with increased average interest-bearing deposits primarily as a result of the addition of $251.4 million of interest-bearing deposits from the acquisition of HomeStar and the full nine month effect of interest-bearing deposits of $771.2 million added from the acquisition of Alpine in February 2018 and increased FHLB advances and other borrowings.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses totaled $4.4 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily driven by the increase of $2.3 million to the specific reserve established for an existing nonperforming loan during the third quarter of 2019.
The provision for loan losses totaled $11.7 million and $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to the increase of $5.8 million in specific reserves on two nonperforming loans during the first nine months of 2019.
Noninterest Income. The following table sets forth the major components of our noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:
Wealth management revenue. Noninterest income from our wealth management business increased $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in estate fees and the addition of $181.2 million of wealth management assets under administration from the acquisition of HomeStar.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the $1.6 million increase in wealth management revenue as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily driven by an increase in trust and estate fees, the addition of $181.2 million of wealth management assets under administration from the acquisition of HomeStar, and the full nine month impact of the addition of $1.0 billion of wealth management assets under administration from the Alpine acquisition in February 2018.
Commercial FHA revenue. The $0.2 million decrease in commercial FHA revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to impairment of mortgage servicing rights of $1.1 million as compared to $0.3 million of impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in impairment was partially offset by an increase in revenue generated from the increase in interest rate lock commitments to $112.8 million in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to $82.8 million for the comparable period in 2018.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the $4.3 million increase in commercial FHA revenue was driven by an increase in gain premiums, partially offset by lower loan costs as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Interest rate lock commitments increased to $219.5 million from $174.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Included in the increase was $0.5 million of impairment on mortgage servicing rights for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $0.9 million of impairment for the
44
comparable period in 2018.
Residential mortgage banking revenue. The decreases of $0.4 million and $2.5 million in residential mortgage banking revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018, was primarily attributable to a decline in production due in part to a smaller loan production team and a decrease in servicing fees as a result of the sale and transfer of mortgage servicing rights in 2018 and 2019. In late 2017, the Company had committed to a plan to sell mortgage servicing rights resulting in the sale and transfer of serviced residential mortgage loans for others with unpaid principal balances of $1.24 billion in the first quarter of 2018, $410.8 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $809.6 million in the first quarter of 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the Company serviced residential mortgage loans for others with unpaid principal balances of $401.6 million.
Noninterest Expense. The following table sets forth the major components of noninterest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:
Salaries and employee benefits. The $2.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense during the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily driven by severance and change in control costs associated with the acquisition of HomeStar, partially offset by a decrease in personnel and related expenses after the conversion of Alpine Bank into the Bank in the third quarter of 2018.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the $6.1 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits was mainly due to change in control payments, severance costs and other benefit-related expenses related to the acquisition of Alpine during the first nine months of 2018.
Data processing fees. The $5.4 million and $5.1 million decreases in data processing fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018 were primarily driven by contract termination fees and system conversion charges of associated with the acquisition of Alpine during the third quarter and first nine months of 2018.
FDIC insurance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the $0.6 million and $0.9 million decreases in FDIC insurance, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018, were primarily the result a $0.4 million small business tax credit received from the FDIC in the third quarter of 2019. This credit was awarded by the FDIC to banks with total consolidated assets of less than $10.0 billion for the portion of their assessments that contributed to the growth in the FDIC’s reserve ratio. The Company will receive additional credits of $1.0 million that will be applied to our FDIC invoices in future periods.
Professional fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the $0.7 million and $3.2 million decreases in professional fees, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018, were primarily due to professional fees incurred on various technology and other integration related projects associated primarily with the acquisition of Alpine in 2018.
Communication fees. The decreases in communication fees of $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018, were primarily due to integration and acquisition expenses associated primarily with the acquisition of Alpine in 2018.
45
(Gain) loss on mortgage servicing rights held for sale. The $1.0 million decrease in loss on mortgage servicing rights held for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily attributable to the $0.6 million gain recognized on the sale of mortgage serving servicing rights for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the $0.5 million loss recognized on the sale of mortgage servicing rights for the same period in 2018.
Other noninterest expense. The increases in other noninterest expense of $2.8 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018, were primarily due to $3.1 million of asset impairment in the 2019 periods on six banking facilities to be closed related to our branch network consolidation plan.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $4.0 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate increased to 24.1% for the third quarter of 2019 as compared to 22.3% for the third quarter of 2018. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a solar tax credit that was recorded in the third quarter of 2018.
Income tax expense was $13.4 million and $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase of the effective tax rate to 23.8% for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to 22.9% for the same period in 2018 was primarily due to the impact of the BOLI death benefit recorded in 2018.
Financial Condition
Assets. Total assets increased to $6.11 billion at September 30, 2019, as compared to $5.64 billion at December 31, 2018.
Loans. The loan portfolio is the largest category of our assets. At September 30, 2019, total loans were $4.33 billion compared to $4.14 billion at December 31, 2018. The following table shows loans by non-PCI and PCI loan category as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
Total loans increased $191.3 million to $4.33 billion at September 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to the addition of $211.2 million loans added to the portfolio from the acquisition of HomeStar. Also contributing to loan growth was organic loan growth primarily from our equipment financing business, which is booked in the commercial loans and lease financing portfolios. These increases were partially offset by $61.1 million of consumer loans transferred to loans held for sale in the third quarter of 2019, several large loan payoffs and principal reductions in the commercial real estate portfolio, and payoffs and payments in the consumer portfolio during the first nine months of 2019.
46
Outstanding loan balances increased due to new loan originations, advances on outstanding commitments and loans acquired as a result of acquisitions of other financial institutions, net of amounts received for loan payments and payoffs, charge-offs of loans and transfers of loans to OREO. The following table shows the fair values of those loans acquired at acquisition date and the net growth (attrition) for the periods presented.
The principal categories of our loan portfolio are discussed below:
Commercial loans. We provide a mix of variable and fixed rate commercial loans. The loans are typically made to small- and medium-sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail and service businesses for working capital needs, business expansions and farm operations. Commercial loans generally include lines of credit and loans with maturities of five years or less. The loans are generally made with business operations as the primary source of repayment, but may also include collateralization by inventory, accounts receivable and equipment, and generally include personal guarantees.
Commercial real estate loans. Our commercial real estate loans consist of both real estate occupied by the borrower for ongoing operations and non-owner occupied real estate properties. The real estate securing our existing commercial real estate loans includes a wide variety of property types, such as owner occupied offices, warehouses and production facilities, office buildings, hotels, mixed-use residential and commercial facilities, retail centers, multifamily properties and assisted living facilities. Our commercial real estate loan portfolio also includes farmland loans. Farmland loans are generally made to a borrower actively involved in farming rather than to passive investors.
Construction and land development loans. Our construction and land development loans are comprised of residential construction, commercial construction and land acquisition and development loans. Interest reserves are generally established on real estate construction loans.
Residential real estate loans. Our residential real estate loans consist of residential properties that generally do not qualify for secondary market sale.
Consumer loans. Our consumer loans include direct personal loans, indirect automobile loans, lines of credit and installment loans originated through home improvement specialty retailers and contractors. Personal loans are generally secured by automobiles, boats and other types of personal property and are made on an installment basis.
Lease financing. Our equipment leasing business provides financing leases to varying types of businesses nationwide for purchases of business equipment and software. The financing is secured by a first priority interest in the financed asset and generally requires monthly payments.
47
The following table shows the contractual maturities of our loan portfolio and the distribution between fixed and adjustable interest rate loans at September 30, 2019:
Loan Quality
We use what we believe is a comprehensive methodology to monitor credit quality and prudently manage credit concentration within our loan portfolio. Our underwriting policies and practices govern the risk profile, credit and geographic concentration for our loan portfolio. We also have what we believe to be a comprehensive methodology to monitor these credit quality standards, including a risk classification system that identifies potential problem loans based on risk characteristics by loan type as well as the early identification of deterioration at the individual loan level. In addition to our allowance for loan losses, our purchase discounts on acquired loans provide additional protections against credit losses.
Discounts on PCI Loans. PCI loans are loans that have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable at the date of acquisition that we will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. These loans are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had PCI loans totaling $47.8 million and $43.0 million, respectively.
In determining the fair value of PCI loans at acquisition, we first determine the contractually required payments due, which represent the total undiscounted amount of all uncollected principal and interest payments, adjusted for the effect of estimated prepayments. We then estimate the undiscounted cash flows we expect to collect. We incorporate several key assumptions to estimate cash flows expected to be collected, including probability of default rates, loss given default assumptions and the amount and timing of prepayments. We calculate fair value by discounting the estimated cash flows we expect to collect using an observable market rate of interest, when available, adjusted for factors that a market participant would consider in determining fair value. We have aggregated certain credit-impaired loans acquired in the same transaction into pools based on common risk characteristics. A pool is accounted for as one asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate fair value and expected cash flows.
The difference between contractually required payments due and the cash flows expected to be collected, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the nonaccretable difference. The nonaccretable difference, which is neither accreted into income nor recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, reflects estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loans. The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the estimated fair value of PCI loans is referred to as the accretable yield. This amount is not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, but is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans or pool of loans, using the effective yield method. The outstanding customer balance for PCI loans totaled $58.6 million and $56.9 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Subsequent to acquisition, we periodically evaluate our estimates of cash flows expected to be collected. These evaluations, performed quarterly, require the continued use of key assumptions and estimates, similar to the initial estimate of fair value. Subsequent changes in the estimated cash flows expected to be collected may result in changes in the accretable yield and nonaccretable difference or reclassifications between accretable yield and the nonaccretable difference. Decreases in expected cash flows due to further credit deterioration will result in an impairment charge to the provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses and a reclassification from accretable yield to nonaccretable difference. Increases in expected cash flows due to credit improvements will result in an increase
48
in the accretable yield through a reclassification from the nonaccretable difference or as a reduction in the allowance for loan losses to the extent established on specific pools subsequent to acquisition. The adjusted accretable yield is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan, or pool of loans.
The following table shows changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:
As of September 30, 2019, the balance of accretable discounts on our PCI loan portfolio was $11.3 million compared to $12.2 million at December 31, 2018. We may not accrete the full amount of these discounts into interest income in future periods if the assets to which these discounts are applied do not perform according to our current expectations.
We have also recorded accretable discounts in purchase accounting for loans that are not considered PCI loans. Similar to the way in which we employ the fair value methodology for PCI loans, we consider expected prepayments and estimate the amount and timing of undiscounted cash flows in order to determine the accretable discount for non-PCI loans. Such discounts are accreted into income on a level yield basis.
Analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses. The following table allocates the allowance for loan losses, or the allowance, by loan category:
(1) | Represents the percentage of the allowance to total loans in the respective category. |
The allowance and the balance of nonaccretable discounts represent our estimate of probable and reasonably estimable credit losses inherent in loans held for investment as of the respective balance sheet dates. We assess the appropriateness of our allowance for non-PCI loans separately from our allowance for PCI loans.
Allowance for non-PCI loans. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for non-PCI loans includes a general allowance for performing loans, which are grouped based on similar characteristics, and a specific allowance for individual impaired loans or loans considered by management to be in a high-risk category. General allowances are established based on a number of factors, including historical loss rates, an assessment of portfolio trends and conditions, accrual status and economic conditions.
For commercial and commercial real estate loans, a specific allowance may be assigned to individual loans based on an impairment analysis. Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of impairment is based on an analysis of the most probable source of repayment, including the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows and the
49
estimated market value or the fair value of the underlying collateral. Interest income on impaired loans is accrued as earned, unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status.
Allowance for PCI loans. PCI loans are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, with the estimated fair value including a component for estimated credit losses. An allowance related to PCI loans may be recorded subsequent to acquisition if a PCI loan pool experiences a decrease in expected cash flows as compared to the expected cash flows projected in the previous quarter. Loans considered to be uncollectible are initially charged off against the specific loan pool’s non-accretable difference. When the pool’s non-accretable difference has been fully utilized, uncollectible amounts are charged off against the corresponding allowance.
The allowance for loan losses was $24.9 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $20.9 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in the allowance at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to the increase of $5.8 million in specific reserves on two nonperforming loans during the first nine months of 2019.
Provision for Loan Losses. In determining the allowance and the related provision for loan losses, we consider three principal elements: (i) valuation allowances based upon probable losses identified during the review of impaired commercial, commercial real estate, and construction and land development loans, (ii) allocations, by loan classes, on loan portfolios based on historical loan loss experience and qualitative factors, and (iii) valuation allowances on PCI loan pools based on decreases in expected cash flows. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations to adjust the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by us.
The following table provides an analysis of the allowance for loan losses, provision for loan losses and net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:
Individual loans considered to be uncollectible are charged off against the allowance. Factors used in determining the amount and timing of charge-offs on loans include consideration of the loan type, length of delinquency, sufficiency of collateral value, lien priority and the overall financial condition of the borrower. Collateral value is determined using updated appraisals and/or other market comparable information. Charge-offs are generally taken on loans once the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are
50
added to the allowance. Net charge-offs to average loans were 0.49% and 0.24% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to 0.13% for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Impaired Loans. The following table sets forth our nonperforming assets by asset categories as of the dates indicated. Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings. The balances of impaired loans reflect the net investment in these assets, including deductions for purchase discounts. PCI loans are excluded from nonperforming status because we expect to fully collect their new carrying values, which reflect significant purchase discounts. If our expectation of reasonably estimable future cash flows from PCI loans deteriorates, the loans may be classified as nonaccrual loans and interest income will not be recognized until the timing and amount of future cash flows can be reasonably estimated.
We did not recognize interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 while the loans were in nonaccrual status. Additional interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms was $532,000 and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $421,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized interest income on commercial and commercial real estate loans modified under troubled debt restructurings of $26,000 and $89,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $17,000 and $75,000 for the comparable periods in 2018, respectively.
We use a ten grade risk rating system to categorize and determine the credit risk of our loans. Potential problem loans include loans with a risk grade of 7, which are "special mention," and loans with a risk grade of 8, which are "substandard" loans that are not considered to be impaired. These loans generally require more frequent loan officer contact and receipt of financial data to closely monitor borrower performance. Potential problem loans are managed and monitored regularly through a number of processes, procedures and committees, including oversight by a loan administration committee comprised of executive officers and other members of the Bank's senior management team.
The following table presents the recorded investment of potential problem commercial loans (excluding PCI loans) by loan category at the dates indicated:
(1) | Includes only those 8-rated loans that are not included in impaired loans. |

Investment Securities. Our investment strategy aims to maximize earnings while maintaining liquidity in securities with minimal credit risk. The types and maturities of securities purchased are primarily based on our current and projected liquidity and interest rate sensitivity positions.
The following table sets forth the book value and percentage of each category of investment securities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The book value for investment securities classified as available for sale and equity securities is equal to fair market value.
52
The following table sets forth the book value, maturities and weighted average yields for our investment portfolio at September 30, 2019. The book value for investment securities classified as available for sale is equal to fair market value.
(1) | Weighted average yield for tax-exempt securities are presented on a tax-equivalent basis assuming a federal income tax rate of 21%. |
53
The table below presents the credit ratings at September 30, 2019 at fair value for our investment securities classified as available for sale.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $195.6 million to $409.3 million as of September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to cash flows provided by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities of $101.9 million, $54.8 million and $38.9 million, respectively. Cash flows provided by operating activities primarily reflected $43.0 million of net income and $417.2 million of proceeds received from sales of loans held for sale exceeding $401.0 million in originations of loans held for sale. Cash flows provided by investing activities primarily consisted of $69.9 million of net cash acquired from the acquisition of HomeStar, $87.7 million and $64.5 million of investment security maturities and pay downs, respectively, offset in part by $121.1 million in purchases of investments securities available for sale and $74.3 million in increase of loans. Cash flows provided by financing activities primarily reflected proceeds of $360.0 million from FHLB borrowings, $98.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of subordinated debt, net of issuance costs, and an increase in deposits of $49.3 million, partially offset by $415.6 million and $32.9 million of payments made on FHLB and other borrowings, respectively.
Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset. We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, which required the recognition of operating lease ROU assets. Operating lease ROU assets represent the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, specified assets for the lease term. Operating lease ROU assets are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease ROU assets totaled $14.8 million at September 30, 2019.
Liabilities. Total liabilities increased to $5.46 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to $5.03 billion at December 31, 2018.
Deposits. We emphasize developing total client relationships with our customers in order to increase our retail and commercial core deposit bases, which are our primary funding sources. Our deposits consist of noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand, savings and time deposit accounts.
The following table summarizes our average deposit balances and weighted average rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:
54
The following table sets forth the maturity of time deposits of $250,000 or more and brokered time deposits as of September 30, 2019:
Total deposits increased $371.0 million to $4.45 billion at September 30, 2019, as compared to December 31, 2018. The increase primarily resulted from the addition of $321.7 million in deposits from the acquisition of HomeStar and organic deposit growth of $186.4 million, partially offset by the intentional reduction of $137.1 million in brokered money market deposits and brokered time deposits. At September 30, 2019, total deposits were comprised of 22.8% of noninterest-bearing demand accounts, 56.4% of interest-bearing transaction accounts and 20.8% of time deposits. At September 30, 2019, brokered time deposits totaled $93.6 million, or 2.1% of total deposits, compared to $161.6 million, or 4.0% of total deposits, at December 31, 2018.
Operating Lease Liabilities. The adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019 also required the recognition of operating lease liabilities. Operating lease liabilities represent a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis. Operating lease liabilities totaled $16.4 million at September 30, 2019.
Capital Resources and Liquidity Management
Capital Resources. Shareholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends, issuances and redemptions of common stock and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income caused primarily by fluctuations in unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities.
Shareholders’ equity increased $47.0 million to $655.5 million at September 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018. The increase in shareholders’ equity was due primarily to the generation of net income of $43.0 million during the first nine months of 2019, $10.3 million of common equity issued for the acquisition of HomeStar, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $10.3 million, partially offset by $17.6 million of declared dividends to common shareholders and $2.6 million of Series H preferred stock redemption.
In conjunction with the acquisition of HomeStar, the Company paid $1.0 million in cash and issued 404,698 shares of the Company’s common stock upon closing of the transaction on July 17, 2019. Additionally, the Company issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated debentures in September 2019, a portion of the net proceeds of which were used to repay a $30.0 million senior term loan. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds to redeem $40.3 million of existing subordinated debt in June 2020, which is the date the existing subordinated debt becomes redeemable, and for general corporate purposes.
On August 6, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $25.0 million of its common stock. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in any manner that complies with applicable securities laws, at the discretion of the Company. The program will be in effect until June 30, 2020, with the timing of purchases and the number of shares repurchased under the program dependent upon a variety of factors including price, trading volume, corporate and regulatory requirements and market condition. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. As of September 30, 2019, $1.8 million, or 71,603 shares of the Company’s common stock, had been repurchased under the program.
Liquidity Management. Liquidity refers to the measure of our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders.
55
Integral to our liquidity management is the administration of short-term borrowings. To the extent we are unable to obtain sufficient liquidity through core deposits, we seek to meet our liquidity needs through wholesale funding or other borrowings on either a short- or long-term basis.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction, which represents the amount of the Bank’s obligation. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Investment securities with a carrying amount of $137.4 million and $132.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
The Company had available lines of credit of $34.3 million and $56.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, from the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The lines are collateralized by a collateral agreement with respect to a pool of commercial real estate loans totaling $41.6 million and $67.6 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had available federal funds lines of credit totaling $26.0 million. These lines of credit were unused at September 30, 2019.
The Company is a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, must provide for its own liquidity. The Company’s main source of funding is dividends declared and paid to us by the Bank. There are statutory, regulatory and debt covenant limitations that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. Management believed at September 30, 2019, that these limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet regulatory capital requirements may result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for “prompt corrective action”, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies.
At September 30, 2019, the Company and the Bank exceeded the regulatory minimums and the Bank met the regulatory definition of well-capitalized based on the most recent regulatory notification.
The following table presents the Company and the Bank’s capital ratios and the minimum requirements at September 30, 2019:
(1) | As of January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer was fully phased in at 2.5%. |

We believe that we will be able to meet our contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. We expect to maintain adequate cash levels through profitability, loan and securities repayment and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. We have in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk. Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in market values of assets and liabilities. We incur market risk in the normal course of business through exposures to market interest rates, equity prices, and credit spreads. We have identified two primary sources of market risk: interest rate risk and price risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Overview. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and value arising from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (reprice risk), changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities arising from embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay residential mortgage loans at any time and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity (option risk), changes in the shape of the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion (yield curve risk), and changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries, LIBOR and SOFR (basis risk).
Our board of directors established broad policy limits with respect to interest rate risk. Our Enterprise Risk Committee (“ERC”) establishes specific operating guidelines within the parameters of the board of directors’ policies. In general, we seek to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the economic values of assets and liabilities. Our ERC meets quarterly to monitor the level of interest rate risk sensitivity to ensure compliance with the board of directors’ approved risk limits.
Interest rate risk management is an active process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows complemented by investment and funding activities. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with understanding the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities and determining the appropriate interest rate risk posture given business forecasts, management objectives, market expectations, and policy constraints.
An asset sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate higher net interest income, as rates earned on our interest-earning assets would reprice upward more quickly than rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, thus expanding our net interest margin. Conversely, a liability sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate lower net interest income, as rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly than rates earned on our interest-earning assets, thus compressing our net interest margin.
Income Simulation and Economic Value Analysis. Interest rate risk measurement is calculated and reported to the ERC at least quarterly. The information reported includes period-end results and identifies any policy limits
57
exceeded, along with an assessment of the policy limit breach and the action plan and timeline for resolution, mitigation, or assumption of the risk.
We use two approaches to model interest rate risk: Net Interest Income at Risk (“NII at Risk”) and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”). Under NII at Risk, net interest income is modeled utilizing various assumptions for assets, liabilities, and derivatives. EVE measures the period end market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities and the change in this value as rates change. EVE is a period end measurement.
The following table shows NII at Risk at the dates indicated:
We report NII at Risk to isolate the change in income related solely to interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The NII at Risk results included in the table above reflect the analysis used quarterly by management. It models −100, +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in market interest rates, implied by the forward yield curve over the next twelve months.
We were within Board policy limits for the +100 and +200 basis point scenarios at September 30, 2019. The Company, at September 30, 2019, exceeded the established tolerance level for the −100 basis point sensitivity. Tolerance levels for risk management require the continuing development of remedial plans to maintain residual risk within approved levels as we adjust the balance sheet. NII at Risk reported at September 30, 2019, projects that our earnings exhibit increased sensitivity to changes in interest rates compared to December 31, 2018.
The following table shows EVE at the dates indicated:
The EVE results included in the table above reflect the analysis used quarterly by management. It models immediate −100, +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in market interest rates.
We were within board policy limits for the +100 and +200 basis point scenarios at September 30, 2019.
In September 2018, the Federal Reserve increased the range for the Federal Funds Target Rate, which led to an increase in the magnitude of the declining rate scenario to −100 basis points from the prior −50 basis point floor. Tolerance levels for risk management require the development of remediation plans to maintain residual risk within tolerance if simulation modeling demonstrates that a parallel 100 basis point increase or 100 basis point decrease in interest rates over the twelve months would adversely affect net interest income over the same period by more than the tolerance level. The Company, at September 30, 2019, exceeded the established tolerance level for the −100 basis point sensitivity.
Price Risk. Price risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in the prices of financial instruments that are carried at fair value and subject to fair value accounting. We have price risk from equity investments and investments in securities backed by mortgage loans.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are included under “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.
Item 4 – Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II – Other Information
Item 1 – Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, we are named or threatened to be named as a defendant in various lawsuits, none of which we expect to have a material effect on the Company. However, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk. There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is the subject.
Item 1A – Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On July 17, 2019, the Company sold 404,968 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to the stockholders of HomeStar Financial Group, Inc., in connection with the Company’s acquisition of HomeStar Financial Group, Inc. The shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
