SIERRA BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – The Business of Sierra Bancorp

Sierra Bancorp (the “Company”) is a California corporation headquartered in Porterville, California, and is a registered bank holding company under federal banking laws. The Company was formed to serve as the holding company for Bank of the Sierra (the “Bank”), and has been the Bank’s sole shareholder since August 2001. The Company exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of the Bank and of such other subsidiaries it may acquire or establish. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s only other subsidiaries were Sierra Statutory Trust II, Sierra Capital Trust III, and Coast Bancorp Statutory Trust II, which were formed solely to facilitate the issuance of capital trust pass-through securities (“TRUPS”). Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standard on the consolidation of variable interest entities, these trusts are not reflected on a consolidated basis in the Company’s financial statements. References herein to the “Company” include Sierra Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiary, the Bank, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Bank of the Sierra, a California state-chartered bank headquartered in Porterville, California, offers a wide range of retail and commercial banking services via branch offices located throughout California’s South San Joaquin Valley, the Central Coast, Ventura County, the Sacramento area, and neighboring communities. The Bank was incorporated in September 1977, and opened for business in January 1978 as a one-branch bank with $1.5 million in capital. Our growth in the ensuing years has largely been organic in nature, but includes four whole-bank acquisitions: Sierra National Bank in 2000, Santa Clara Valley Bank in 2014, Coast National Bank in 2016, and Ojai Community Bank in October 2017. As of the filing date of this report the Bank operates 35 full-service branches and an online branch, and maintains ATMs at all but one of our branch locations as well as at seven non-branch locations. Moreover, the Bank has specialized lending units which focus on agricultural borrowers, commercial real estate, and mortgage warehouse lending. In addition, in February 2020 the bank opened a loan production office which is currently located in Roseville, CA. To support organic growth in the agricultural lending sector the bank also opened a loan production office in Templeton, CA in April 2022. The Company had total assets of $3.5 billion at September 30, 2022, and for a number of years we have claimed the distinction of being the largest bank headquartered in the South San Joaquin Valley. The Bank’s deposit accounts, which totaled $2.9 billion at September 30, 2022, are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to maximum insurable amounts.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as allowed under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Therefore these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete, audited financial statements as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. Such adjustments can generally be considered as normal and recurring unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, Management has taken subsequent events into consideration and recognized them where appropriate. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other quarter, or for the full year. Certain amounts reported for 2021 have been reclassified to be consistent with the reporting for 2022. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Note 3 – Current Accounting Developments

In September 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold for credit losses in current U.S. GAAP, and instead requires an organization to record an estimate of expected credit losses over the

Table of Contents

contractual term for financial assets carried at amortized cost (generally loans and held-to-maturity investment securities) in addition to certain off balance-sheet credit exposure. Under the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology expected credit losses for financial assets are estimated over the contractual life of the financial asset, adjusted for expected prepayments, considering historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additionally, under CECL the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities is addressed through an allowance for credit losses which is a change from legacy GAAP which previously required the direct write-down of securities through the other-than-temporary impairment approach. The Company implemented CECL on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach to estimate lifetime expected losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost in addition to certain off balance sheet credit exposures. The January 1, 2022, increase in the Company’s allowance for credit losses, of $9.5 million on loans and leases and $0.9 million in off balance sheet credit exposures, net of the impact of deferred taxes, was reflected in a transition adjustment of $7.3 million to retained earnings. There was no cumulative effect adjustment related to our available-for-sale investment portfolio upon adoption and the company had no securities designated as held-to-maturity as of January 1, 2022. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2021, are presented under CECL whereas prior comparative periods are presented under legacy GAAP. The majority of the Bank’s loan and lease portfolio consists of loans, so hereafter within this document references to the loan and lease portfolio in general will reference loans as opposed to loans and leases.

The following table illustrates the impact of the adoption of CECL, and the transition away from the incurred loss method, on January 1, 2022. The impact to the Allowance for Credit losses (“ACL”) on the Loan Portfolio is broken out at the class level (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

The Company currently categorizes all of its loans as held-for-investment and following CECL implementation, reports loans on the amortized cost basis. The Company’s amortized cost basis is comprised of the principal balance outstanding, net of remaining purchase discount or premium and any deferred fees or costs. Notably, the Company elected the practical expedient available under CECL to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of all categorizations of loans and investment securities, and resultingly did not estimate reserves on accrued interest receivable balances, as any past due interest income is reversed on a timely basis. Accrued interest receivable continues to be included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheet and as of September 30, 2022, measured at $8.3

8

Table of Contents

million, $0.5 million and $4.7 million for available-for-sale securities, held-to-maturity securities and loans, respectively. Due to loans being placed on nonaccrual status, during the third quarter of 2022 an immaterial amount of interest receivable on loans was reversed against interest income and $0.1 million of reversed interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the same time periods no interest receivable on held-to-maturity or available for sale investment securities was reversed against interest income.

Similar to practice under legacy GAAP, the Company continues to place loans on nonaccrual status when management has determined that the full repayment of principal and collection of contractually agreed upon interest is unlikely or when the loan in question has become delinquent more than 90 days. The Company may decide that it is appropriate to continue to accrue interest on certain loans more than 90 days delinquent if they are well-secured by collateral and collection is in process. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any accrued but uncollected interest for the loan and lease is reversed out of interest income in the period in which the loan’s status changed. For loans with an interest reserve, i.e., where loan and lease proceeds are advanced to the borrower to make interest payments, all interest recognized from the inception of the loan and lease is reversed when the loan and lease is placed on non-accrual. Once a loan and lease is on non-accrual status subsequent payments received from the customer are applied to principal, and no further interest income is recognized until the principal has been paid in full or until circumstances have changed such that payments are again consistently received as contractually required. Generally, loans are not restored to accrual status until the obligation is brought current and has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Similar to practice under legacy GAAP, the ACL on the loan portfolio is a valuation allowance deducted from the recorded balance in loans. However, under CECL the ACL represents principal which is not expected to be collected over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayment, whereas under legacy GAAP the allowance represented only losses already incurred as of the balance sheet date. The ACL is increased by a provision for credit losses charged to expense, and by principal recovered on charged-off balances. It is reduced by principal charge-offs. The amount of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan and lease portfolio, using information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adjustments are also made for changes in risk profile, credit concentrations, historical trends, and other economic conditions.

The ACL for loans and leases is separated between a collective reserve evaluation, for loans where similar risk characteristics exist and an individual reserve evaluation for loans without similar risk characteristics. The collective evaluation of loans is performed at the portfolio segment level, using call code as the primary segmentation key but also considering similarity in quantitative reserve methodology. The Company’s ACL is categorized according to the following portfolio segments: 1-4 Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Farmland & Agricultural Production, Commercial & Industrial, Mortgage Warehouse, and Consumer. Management utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated reserves for the 1-4 Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Commercial & Industrial and Mortgage Warehouse portfolio segments. Management utilizes a Remaining Life Quantitative Reserve Methodology for the Farmland & Agricultural Production, and Consumer portfolio segments. Within the portfolio segments utilizing the DCF quantitative reserve methodology, management has made the election to adjust the effective interest rate to consider the impact of expected prepayments.

Loans where similar risk characteristics exist are evaluated for the ACL in the collective reserve evaluation. The Company’s policy is that loans designated as nonaccrual no longer share risk characteristics similar to other loans evaluated collectively and as such, all nonaccrual loans are individually evaluated for reserves. As of September 30, 2022 the Bank’s nonaccrual loans comprised the entire population of loans individually evaluated. The Company’s policy is that nonaccrual loans also represent the subset of loans where borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty where an evaluation of the source of repayment is required to determine if the nonaccrual loan should be categorized as collateral dependent. It is the Company’s policy that the only loans and leases where the credit quality has deteriorated to the point where foreclosure is probable are the Company’s nonaccrual loans.

The implementation of CECL also impacted the Company’s ACL on unfunded loan commitments, as this ACL now represents expected credit losses over the contractual life of commitments not identified as unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Reserve for Unfunded Commitments is estimated using the same reserve or coverage rates

9

Table of Contents

calculated on collectively evaluated loans following the application of a funding rate to the amount of the unfunded commitment. The funding rate represents management’s estimate of the amount of the current unfunded commitment that will be funded over the remaining contractual life of the commitment and is based on historical data. Under CECL the ACL on unfunded loan commitments remains in Other Liabilities while any related provision expense has been moved to provision for credit loss expense from its prior presentation in noninterest expense. Prior period expense has been reclassified for comparative purposes.

For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for which management has an intent to sell the security or considers it more likely-than-not that the security in question will be sold prior to a recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security will be written down to fair value through a direct charge to income. For the remainder of available sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, which don’t meet the previously outlined criteria, management evaluates whether the decline in fair value is a reflection of credit deterioration or other factors. In performing this evaluation, management considers the extent which fair value has fallen below amortized cost, changes in ratings by rating agencies, and other information indicating a deterioration in repayment capacity of either the underlying issuer or the borrowers providing repayment capacity in a securitization. If management’s evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists then a present value of the expected cash flows is calculated and compared to the amortized cost basis of the security in question and to the degree that the amortized cost basis exceeds the present value an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) is established, with the caveat that the maximum amount of the reserve on any individual security is the difference between the fair value and amortized cost balance of the security in question. Any unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income.

On April 1, 2022 the Company transferred $162.1 million of Agency, Mortgaged-Backed and Municipal securities from available-for-sale to held-to maturity.  Because of the implicit and explicit guarantees of the Federal Government on the Agency and Mortgage-Backed securities there is no expectation of future losses on any of these securities.  The Bank’s municipal bonds moved to the held-to-maturity designation all have credit ratings considered investment grade or equivalent.  A discounted-cash-flow reserve calculation was performed upon the transfer of these securities into the held-to-maturity designation and a reserve of $0.02 million was calculated and charged to provision expense.

Note 4 – Share Based Compensation

On March 16, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which became effective May 24, 2017, the date approved by the Company’s shareholders. The 2017 Plan replaced the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), which expired by its own terms on March 15, 2017. Options to purchase 161,089 shares that were granted under the 2007 Plan were still outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and remain unaffected by that plan’s expiration. The 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of both “incentive” and “nonqualified” stock options to officers and employees, and of “nonqualified” stock options to non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. The 2017 Plan also provides for the issuance of restricted stock awards to these same classes of eligible participants. The total number of shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2017 Plan was initially 850,000 shares, and the number remaining available for grant as of September 30, 2022 was 451,577. Options to purchase 339,057 shares granted under the 2017 Plan were outstanding as of September 30, 2022. The potential dilutive impact of unexercised stock options is discussed below in Note 5, Earnings per Share.

Pursuant to FASB’s standards on stock compensation, the value of each stock option and restricted stock award is reflected in our income state­ment as employee compensation or directors’ expense by amortizing its grant date fair value over the vesting period of the option or award. The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes model to determine grant date fair values for options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Forfeitures are reflected in compensation costs as they occur for both types of awards. A pre-tax charge of $0.3 million was reflected in the Company’s income statement during the third quarter of 2022 and $0.2 million was charged during the third quarter of 2021, as expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards. For the first nine months, the charges totaled $1.0 million in 2022 and $0.7 million in 2021.

Restricted Stock Grants

The Company’s Restricted Stock Awards are awards of either time-vested or performance-based shares. The Restricted Stock Awards are non-transferrable shares of common stock and are available to be granted to the Company’s employees and directors. The vesting period of Restricted Stock Awards is determined at the time the awards are issued, and different awards may have different vesting terms or performance measures; provided, however, that no installment of any Restricted Stock Award shall become vested less than one year from the grant date. Restricted Stock Awards are valued utilizing the fair value of the Company’s stock at the grant date. These awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and consider the probability of meeting the performance criteria. There were no shares granted to employees and directors of the Company during the first nine months of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, there was $2.0 million of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Stock Awards granted under the 2017 plan. That cost is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

The Company’s restricted stock award activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is summarized below (unaudited):

Stock Option Grants

The Company has issued equity instruments in the form of Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options to certain officers and directors and may continue to do so under the 2017 Plan. The exercise price of each stock option is determined at the time of the grant and may be no less than 100% of the fair market value of such stock at the time the option is granted.

Note 5 – Earnings per Share

The computation of earnings per share, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income, is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards. There were 14,954,503 weighted average shares outstanding during the third quarter of 2022 and 15,257,367 during the third quarter of 2021, while there were 14,968,242 weighted average shares outstanding during the first nine months of 2022 and 15,247,477 during the first nine months of 2021.

Diluted earnings per share calculations include the effect of the potential issuance of common shares, which for the Company is limited to shares that would be issued on the exercise of “in-the-money” stock options, and unvested restricted stock awards. For the third quarter of 2022, calculations under the treasury stock method resulted in the equivalent of 59,545 shares being added to basic weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, while a weighted average of 303,387 stock options were excluded from the calculation because they were underwater and thus anti-dilutive. For the third quarter of 2021 the equivalent of 86,176 shares were added in calculating diluted earnings per share, while 327,346 anti-dilutive stock options were not factored into the computation. Likewise, for the first nine months of 2022 the equivalent of 78,641 shares were added to basic weighted average shares outstanding in calculating diluted earnings per share and a weighted average of 299,404 options that were anti-dilutive for the period were not included, compared to the addition of the equivalent of 121,772 shares and non-inclusion of 339,546 anti-dilutive options in calculating diluted earnings per share for first half of 2021.

Note 6 – Comprehensive Income (Loss)

As presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and other comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s only source of other comprehensive income (loss) is unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities. Investment gains or losses that were realized and reflected in net income of the current period, which had previously been included in other comprehensive income (loss) as unrealized holding gains or losses in the period in which they arose, are considered to be reclassification adjustments that are excluded from other comprehensive income (loss) in the current period.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business. Those financial instruments currently consist of unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does for originating loans included on the balance sheet. The following financial instruments represent off-balance-sheet credit risk (dollars in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit

$

792,728

$

554,028

Standby letters of credit

$

6,057

$

6,651

Commitments to extend credit consist primarily of the unused or unfunded portions of the following: home equity lines of credit; commercial real estate construction loans, where disbursements are made over the course of construction; commercial revolving lines of credit; mortgage warehouse lines of credit; unsecured personal lines of credit; and formalized (disclosed) deposit account overdraft lines. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the unused portions of committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party, and the credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loans to customers. Included in unused commitments are mortgage warehouse lines which are mostly in the form of repo lines and are unconditionally cancellable. Unused commitments on mortgage warehouse lines were $488.4 million at September 30, 2022 and $272.8 million at December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2022, the Company was also utilizing a letter of credit in the amount of $127.9 million issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank on the Company’s behalf as security for certain deposits and to facilitate certain credit arrangements with the Company’s customers. That letter of credit is backed by loans which are pledged to the FHLB by the Company.

The Company is subject to loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, which are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

As noted under footnote 3 the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2022 impacted the Company’s ACL on unfunded loan commitments. Additional information is included in footnote 3.

Note 8 – Fair Value Disclosures and Reporting and Fair Value Measurements

FASB’s standards on financial instruments, and on fair value measurements and disclosures, require public business entities to disclose in their financial statement footnotes the estimated fair values of financial instruments. In addition to disclosure requirements, FASB’s standard on investments requires that our debt securities that are classified as available for sale and any equity securities which have readily determinable fair values be measured and reported at fair value in our statement of financial position. Certain individually identified loans are also reported at fair value, as explained in greater detail below, and foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. FASB’s standard on financial instruments permits companies to report certain other financial assets and liabilities at fair value, but the Company has not elected the fair value option for any of those financial instruments.

Fair value measurement and disclosure standards also establish a framework for measuring fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Further, the standards establish a fair value hierarchy that encourages an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and limit the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair values. The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants would likely consider in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. Fair value disclosures for deposits include demand deposits, which are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value calculations for loans reflect exit pricing, and incorporate our assumptions with regard to the impact of prepayments on future cash flows and credit quality adjustments based on risk characteristics of various financial instruments, among other things. Since the estimates are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment they cannot be determined with precision, and changes in assumptions could significantly alter the fair values presented.

For financial asset categories that were carried on our balance sheet at fair value as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company used the following methods and significant assumptions:

Investment securities: Fair values are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities by relying on their relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.
Collateral-dependent loans: Collateral-dependent loans are carried at fair value when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement and the loan has been written down to the fair value of its underlying collateral, net of expected disposition costs where applicable.

14

Table of Contents

Foreclosed assets: Repossessed real estate (known as other real estate owned, or “OREO”) and other foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is the appraised value less expected disposition costs for OREO; fair values for any other foreclosed assets are represented by estimated sales proceeds as determined using reasonably available sources. Foreclosed assets for which appraisals can be feasibly obtained are periodically measured for impairment using updated appraisals. Fair values for other foreclosed assets are adjusted as necessary, subsequent to a periodic reevaluation of expected cash flows and the timing of resolution. If impairment is determined to exist, the book value of a foreclosed asset is immediately written down to its estimated impaired value through the income statement, thus the carrying amount is equal to the fair value and there is no valuation allowance.

Assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The table above includes collateral-dependent loan balances for which a specific reserve has been established or on which a write-down has been taken. Information on the Company’s total collateral dependent loan balances and specific loss reserves associated with those balances is included in Note 10 below.

The unobservable inputs are based on Management’s best estimates of appropriate discounts in arriving at fair market value. Adjusting any of those inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. For example, an increase or decrease in actual loss rates would create a directionally opposite change in the fair value of unsecured individually identified loans.

Note 9 – Investments

Investment Securities

Pursuant to FASB’s guidance on accounting for debt securities, available for sale securities are carried on the Company’s financial statements at their estimated fair market values, with monthly tax-effected “mark-to-market” adjustments made vis-à-vis accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried on the Company’s financial statements at their amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses.

The amortized cost, estimated fair value, and allowance for credit losses of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities are as follows:

The Company reassessed classification of certain investments and effective April 1, 2022 the Company transferred $162.1 million of Agency, Mortgaged-Backed and Municipal securities from the available-for-sale designation to the held-to-maturity designation. The securities were transferred at their amortized cost basis, net of any remaining unrealized gain or loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The related unrealized loss of $11.5 million included in other comprehensive income remained in other comprehensive income, to be amortized out of other comprehensive income with an offsetting entry to interest income as a yield adjustment through earnings over the remaining term of the securities. Upon transfer, a discounted-cash-flow reserve calculation was prepared for the securities transferred into the held-to-maturity designation and an allowance for credit losses of $0.02 million was recorded and charged to provision for credit loss expense. The Company did not have any securities classified as held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2021.

The Company did not record an ACL on the AFS portfolio at September 30, 2022 or upon the implementation of CECL on January 1, 2022.  As of both dates the Company considers the unrealized loss across the classes of major security-type to be related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and not reflective of a deterioration in credit value. The Company maintains that it has intent and ability to hold these securities until the amortized cost basis of each security is recovered and likewise concluded as of both January 1, 2022 and September 30, 2022 that it was not more likely than not that any of the securities in an unrealized loss position would be required to be sold. The following bullets outline additional support for management’s conclusion that no amount of the unrealized loss of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of January 1, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was attributable to credit deterioration and a risk of loss, requiring an allowance for credit losses.

US Government Agencies are supported by the full faith and credit-worthiness of the U.S. Federal Government and the management did not consider a default, much less a loss on these securities to be a reasonable possibility as of either January 1, 2022 or September 30, 2022. 
Mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities (“GSEs”) carry an implicit guarantee by the U.S. Federal Government, as the GSEs can draw funds from the U.S. Federal Government up to a limit, with an implied ability to draw funds beyond the limit.  Management did not consider a default, much less a loss on these securities to be a reasonable possibility as of either January 1, 2022 or September 30, 2022. 
Management routinely monitors third party credit grades of the municipal issuers in the Company’s state and political subdivisions portfolio and as of both January 1, 2022 and September 30, 2022 noted that all municipal securities in an unrealized loss position were either investment grade rated or guaranteed.  On a quarterly basis management receives financial information from a third-party service in order to monitor the underlying issuer’s financial stability. In addition, management performs annual reviews of the underlying municipal issuers financial statements in order to evaluate stability and repayment capacity and has noted no concerns with any of the bonds in the Company’s State and Local portfolio.  As of both January 1, 2022 and September 30, 2022 management concluded that no allowance for credit losses was warranted on any of the Company’s municipal securities and the unrealized loss position of each of the securities reflected fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, since the time of purchase.
The Company has invested in corporate debt issuances of other financial institutions.  Various financial metrics of each of the issuing financial institutions are reviewed by management quarterly, these metrics include credit quality, reserve adequacy, profitability and capital.  Following review of the financial metrics available for each

of the underlying institutions as of January 1, 2022 and September 30, 2022 management concluded that the unrealized loss position of these securities related exclusively to the fluctuation in market conditions, primarily interest rates, from the date of purchase, and were not reflective of any credit concerns with the issuing financial institution. These bonds were subject to a credit review by the credit administration department prior to their purchase and are subject to ongoing quarterly reviews.
The Company has invested exclusively in AA and AAA tranches of various collateralized loan obligations, which are securitizations of commercial loans. Each purchase is subject to a credit, concentration, and structure review by the credit administration department prior to their purchase and are subject to ongoing quarterly reviews. Management monitors the credit rating of these investments on a quarterly basis in addition to various performance metrics available through a third-party informational service. Following review of financial metrics as of both January 1, 2022 and September 30, 2022 management concluded that the unrealized loss position of these securities related exclusively to the fluctuation in market conditions, primarily interest rate spreads, from the date of purchase, and were not reflective of any credit concerns with the tranches comprising the Company’s investments.

The following table summarizes available-for-sale debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position for which an ACL has not been recorded, based on the length of time the individual securities have been in an unrealized loss position, including the number of available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, as of the dates indicated below.

The Company’s investments in bonds issued by corporations, states, municipalities and political subdivisions are evaluated in accordance with Financial Institution Letter 48-2012, issued by the FDIC, “Revised Standards of Creditworthiness for Investment Securities,” and other regulatory guidance. Credit ratings are considered in our analysis only as a guide to the historical default rate associated with similarly rated bonds. There have been no significant differences in our internal analyses compared with the ratings assigned by the third-party credit rating agencies.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair values of general obligation and revenue bonds in the Company’s investment securities portfolio at the indicated dates, identifying the state in which the issuing municipality or agency operates for our largest geographic concentrations:

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) Fund Investments

The Company has the ability to invest in limited partnerships which own housing projects that qualify for federal and/or California state tax credits, by mandating a specified percentage of low-income tenants for each project. The primary investment return comes from tax credits that flow through to investors. Because rent levels are lower than standard market rents and the projects are generally highly leveraged, each project also typically generates tax-deductible operating losses that are allocated to the limited partners for tax purposes.

The Company currently has investments in four different LIHTC fund limited partnerships made in 2014, 2015, and two in 2022, all of which were California-focused funds that help the Company meet its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act. We utilize the cost method of accounting for our LIHTC fund investments, under which we initially record on our balance sheet an asset that represents the total cash expected to be invested over the life of the partnership. Any commitments or contingent commitments for future investment are reflected as a liability. The income statement reflects tax credits and any other tax benefits from these investments “below the line” within our income tax provision, while the initial book value of the investment is amortized on a straight-line basis as an offset to noninterest income, over the time period in which the tax credits and tax benefits are expected to be received.

As of September 30, 2022, our total LIHTC investment book balance was $10.2 million, which includes $7.5 million in remaining commitments for additional capital contributions. There were $0.4 million in tax credits derived from our LIHTC investments that were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and amortization expense of $0.3 million associated with those investments was netted against pre-tax noninterest income for the same time period. Our LIHTC investments are evaluated annually for potential impairment, and we have concluded that the carrying value of the investments is stated fairly and is not impaired.

As of December 31, 2021, our total LIHTC investment book balance was $2.9 million, which includes $0.1 million in remaining commitments for additional capital contributions. There were $0.5 million in tax credits derived from our LIHTC investments that were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022, and amortization expense of $0.5 million associated with those investments was netted against pre-tax noninterest income for the same time period.

Note 10 – Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses

We adopted the new current expected credit loss accounting guidance, CECL, and all related amendments as of January 1, 2022. Certain prior period credit quality disclosures related to impaired loans and individually and collectively evaluated loans were superseded with the current guidance and have not been included below as of September 30, 2022.

22

Table of Contents

Under CECL, disclosures are required on the amortized cost basis, whereas legacy GAAP required presentation on the recorded investment basis, with the primary difference being net deferred fees and costs. Unless specifically noted otherwise, September 30, 2022 disclosures are prepared on the amortized cost basis and December 31, 2021 disclosures present information according to the recorded investment basis.

The following table presents loans by class as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Accrued interest receivable on loans of $4.7 million and $6.8 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively is not included in the loans included in the table below but is included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheet. The September 30, 2022 balance in 1-4 family closed end loans reflects year-to-date 2022 loan purchases of $173.1 million. The majority of the disclosures in this footnote are prepared at the class level which is equivalent to the call report or call code classification. The final table in this section separates a roll forward of the Allowance for Credit Losses at the portfolio segment level.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A loan that is modified for a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the modification constitutes a concession. At September 30, 2022, the Company had a total of $4.9 million in TDRs, including $0.3 million in TDRs that were on non-accrual status. Generally, a non-accrual loan that has been modified as a TDR remains on non-accrual status for a period of at least six months to demonstrate the borrower’s ability to comply with the modified terms. However, performance prior to the modification, or significant events that coincide with the modification, could result in a loan’s return to accrual status after a shorter performance

period or even at the time of loan modification. Regardless of the period of time that has elapsed, if the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is uncertain, then the loan will be kept on non-accrual status.

The Company may agree to different types of concessions when modifying a loan or lease. The tables below summarize TDRs which were modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, by type of concession. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no new TDRs and no modifications of existing TDRs

The Company had no finance receivables modified as TDRs within the previous twelve months that defaulted or were charged off during the three or nine-month periods ending September 30, 2022 and 2021.

The Company monitors the credit quality of loans on a continuous basis using the regulatory and accounting classifications of pass, special mention and substandard to characterize and qualify the associated credit risk. Loans classified as “loss” are immediately charged-off. The Company uses the following definitions of risk classifications:

29

Table of Contents

Pass – Loans listed as pass include larger non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk rating definitions below and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.

Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have the potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are those loans with clear and well-defined weaknesses such as a highly leveraged position, unfavorable financial operating results and/or trends, or uncertain repayment sources or poor financial condition, which may jeopardize ultimate recoverability of the debt.

CECL replaces the legacy accounting for loans designated as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) with loans designated as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”). PCD loans are loans acquired or purchased, which as of acquisition, had evidence of more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. Due to the immaterial balance in the Company’s PCI loans as of December 31, 2021 management elected not to transition these loans into the PCD designation. As of September 30, 2022 the Company had no loans categorized as PCD.

As noted in footnote 3, on January 1, 2022 the Company implemented CECL and increased our ACL, previously the allowance for loan and lease losses, with a $9.5 million cumulative adjustment. The Company’s ACL is calculated quarterly, with any difference in the calculated ACL and the recorded ACL trued-up through an entry to the provision for credit losses. Management calculates the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated reserves for all loan categories, with the exception of Farmland, Agricultural Production and Consumer loans, using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology. For purposes of calculating the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated reserves on Farmland, Agricultural Production, and Consumer categories a Remaining Life methodology is utilized. For purposes of estimating the Company’s ACL, Management generally evaluates collectively evaluated loans by Federal Call code in order to group loans with similar risk characteristics together, however management has grouped loans in selected call codes together in determining portfolio segments, due to similar risk characteristics and reserve methodologies used for certain call code classifications.

The DCF quantitative reserve methodology incorporates the consideration of probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) estimates to estimate periodic losses. The PD estimates are derived through the application of reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to call code specific regression models, derived from the consideration of historical bank-specific and peer loss-rate data. The loss rate data has been regressed against benchmark economic indicators, for which reasonable and supportable forecasts exist, in the development of the call-code specific regression models. Regression models are generally refreshed on an annual basis, in order to pull in more recent loss rate data. Reasonable and supportable forecasts of the selected economic metric are then input into the regression model to calculate an expected default rate. The expected default rates are then applied to expected monthly loan balances estimated through the consideration of contractual repayment terms and expected prepayments. The Company utilizes a four-quarter forecast period, after which the expected default rates revert to the historical average for each call code, over a four-quarter reversion period, on a straight-line basis. The prepayment assumptions applied to expected cash flow over the contractual life of the loans are estimated based on historical, bank-specific experience, peer data and the

32

Table of Contents

consideration of current and expected conditions and circumstances including the level of interest rates.  The prepayment assumptions may be updated by Management in the event that changing conditions impact Management’s estimate or additional historical data gathered has resulted in the need for a reevaluation. LGD utilized in the DCF is derived from the application of the Frye-Jacobs theory which relates LGD to PD based on historical peer data, as calculated by a third-party. Economic forecasts are considered over a four-quarter forecast period, with reversion to mean occurring on a straight-line basis over four quarters. The call code regression models utilized upon implementation of CECL on January 1, 2022, and as of September 30, 2022, were identical, and relied upon reasonable and supportable forecasts of the National Unemployment Rate. Management selected the National Unemployment Rate as the driver of quantitative portion of collectively reserves on loan classes reliant upon the DCF methodology, primarily as a result of high correlation coefficients identified in regression modeling, the availability of forecasts including the quarterly FOMC forecast, and given the widespread familiarity of stakeholders with this economic metric.

The quantitative reserves for Farmland, Agricultural Production and Consumer loans are calculated using a Remaining Life methodology where average historical bank specific and peer loss rates are applied to expected loan balances over an estimated remaining life of loans in calculation of the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated loans in these classes. The estimated remaining life is calculated using historical bank-specific loan attrition data. For the Farmland, Agricultural Production and Consumer classes of loans, reasonable and supportable forecasts of the National Unemployment rate, real GDP and the housing price index are considered through estimation of qualitative reserves.

Management recognizes that there are additional factors impacting risk of loss in the loan portfolio beyond what is captured in the quantitative portion of reserves on collectively evaluated loans. As current and expected conditions, may vary compared with conditions over the historical lookback period, which is utilized in the calculation of quantitative reserves, management considers whether additional or reduced reserve levels on collectively evaluated loans may be warranted given the consideration of a variety of qualitative factors. Several of the following qualitative factors (“Q-factors”) considered by management reflect the legacy regulatory guidance on Q-factors, whereas several others represent factors unique to the Company or unique to the current time period.

Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices
Changes in international, regional and local economic and business conditions, and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, as reflected in forecasts of the Housing Price Index, Real GDP and the National Unemployment Rate (Farmland & Agricultural Production and Consumer segments only)
Changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio
Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff
Changes in the volume and severity of past due, non-accruals loans, and adversely classified loans, as reflected in changes of the relative level of loans classified as substandard and special mention
Changes in the quality of the Bank’s loan review processes
Changes in the value of underlying collateral for loans not identified as collateral dependent
Changes in loan categorization concentrations  
Other external factors, which include, the influence of peer data on estimated quantitative reserves, residual COVID-19 related risk, expected impact of current and expected inflationary environment, reliance on the National Unemployment rate as opposed to the California unemployment rate in the calculation of quantitative reserves, the expected impact of current and expected geo-political conditions

The qualitative portion of the Company’s reserves on collectively evaluated loans are calculated using a combination of numeric frameworks and management judgement, to determine risk categorizations in each of the Q-factors presented above. The amount of qualitative reserves is also contingent upon the historical peer, life-of-loan-equivalent, loss rate ranges and the relative weighting of Q-factors according to management’s judgement.

Although collectively evaluated reserves are generally calculated separately at the call code or loan class level, management has grouped loan classes with similar risk characteristics into the following portfolio segments: 1-4 Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Farmland & Agricultural Production, Commercial & Industrial, Mortgage Warehouse and Consumer loans. Loans secured by 1-4 family residences have a different profile from loans secured by

33

Table of Contents

Commercial Real Estate. Generally, the borrowers for 1-4 Family loans are consumers whereas borrowers for Commercial Real Estate are often businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic illustrated how these different categories of real estate loans were subject to different risks, which was exacerbated by the widespread work-from-home model adopted by many companies during and since the pandemic. Farmland and Agricultural Production loans are included in a single segment as these loans are often times to the same borrowers, facing the same risks relating to commodity prices, water supply and drought conditions in addition to other environmental concerns. Commercial & Industrial loans are separated into a unique segment given the uniqueness of these loans, which are often revolving and secured by other business assets as opposed to real estate. Mortgage warehouse loans are also unique in the Company’s portfolio and warrant separate presentation as an individual portfolio segment, given the specific nature of these constantly revolving lines to mortgage originators and also attributable to a very limited loss history, even after consideration of peer data. Finally, the Company splits out Consumer loans as a separate segment as a result of the small balance, homogeneous terms that characterize these loans.

Management individually evaluates loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans when estimating reserves. As of September 30, 2022, the only loans that Management considered to have different risk characteristics from other loans sharing the same Federal Call Report code were loans designated nonaccrual.

The $1.0 million increase in the Company’s loan portfolio ACL in the third quarter of 2022 from $22.8 million at June 30, 2022 to $23.8 million at September 30, 2022, is primarily attributable to an increase in reserves on a single collateral-dependent loan relationship as a result of a decline in management’s estimate of net realizable value on the related collateral.

The $2.2 million in charge-offs recognized in the Farmland and Agricultural Production portfolio segment is primarily the result of a reduction in the expected valuation of collateral on a single loan relationship, recorded in the first quarter 2022. The $1.9 million charge-off in Commercial Real Estate was recognized during the second quarter, when Management became aware of a borrower’s reduced ability to service their loan primarily as a result of increased vacancy rates related to the remote work which has increased following the pandemic.

Note 11 – Borrowings and Other Arrangements

Federal Funds Purchased – The Company had unsecured available lines of credit with correspondent banks for short-term borrowings totaling $305.0 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In general, interest rates on these lines approximate the federal funds target rate. We had no borrowings under these credit facilities at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings – As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had available lines of credit with the FHLB totaling $724.0 million and $787.5 million, respectively, based on eligible collateral of certain loans. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had $103.1 million and $0 in FHLB overnight borrowings, respectively.

Federal Reserve Line of Credit – The Company has an available line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco secured by certain loans. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had borrowing capacity under this line totaling $34.2 million and $50.6 million, respectively. We had no outstanding borrowings on this line of credit as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Long-Term Debt – The Company has long-term debt in the form of fixed to floating rate subordinated debentures with a fixed rate of 3.25% until September 30, 2026, then floating rate at 253.5 basis points over 3-month term SOFR until maturity on October 1, 2031. The balance of the Company’s long-term debt, net of unamortized issuance costs, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $49.2 million and $49.1 million, respectively.

Subordinated Debentures - Sierra Statutory Trust II (“Trust II”), Sierra Capital Trust III (“Trust III”), and Coast Bancorp Statutory Trust II (“Trust IV”), (collectively, the “Trusts”) exist solely for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. For financial reporting purposes, the Trusts are not consolidated, and the Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “Subordinated Debentures”) held by the Trusts and issued and guaranteed by the Company are reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in accordance with provisions of ASC Topic 810. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company’s trust preferred securities totaled $35.4 million and $35.3 million, respectively.

Note 12 – Revenue Recognition

The Company utilizes the guidance found in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), when accounting for certain noninterest income. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Sufficient information should be provided to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company’s revenue streams that are within the scope of and accounted for under Topic 606 include service charges on deposit accounts, debit card interchange fees, and fees levied for other services the Company provides its customers. The guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments such as loans and investments, and other noninterest income such as loan servicing fees and earnings on bank-owned life insurance, which are accounted for on an accrual basis under other provisions of GAAP.

Table of Contents

All of the Company’s revenue from contracts within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized as noninterest income, except for gains on the sale of OREO which is classified as noninterest expense. The following table presents the Company’s sources of noninterest income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

With regard to noninterest income associated with customer contracts, the Company has determined that transaction prices are fixed, and performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered, thus there is little or no judgment involved in the timing of revenue recognition under contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606.

Note 13 – Subsequent Events

Effective October 1, 2022, the Company transferred $198.3 million of “available-for-sale” investments to “held-to-maturity”. Those securities were transferred at fair market value on the date of the transfer. The transfer was initiated to reduce the effect of potential future rate increases on the available-for-sale portfolio, mark-to-market, other comprehensive income and equity.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”), as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), as amended. Those sections of the 1933 Act and 1934 Act provide a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their financial performance as long as important factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from projected results are identified with meaningful cautionary statements. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “projects”, “intends”, and “estimates” or variations of such words and similar expressions, as well as future or conditional verbs preceded by “will”, “would”, “should”, “could” or “may” are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on certain underlying assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, as they could be impacted by several potential risks and developments that cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.

These statements are based on management’s current expectations regarding economic, legislative, regulatory and other environmental issues that may affect our earnings in future periods. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed, forecast in, or implied by such forward-looking statements.

A variety of factors could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, and should be considered when evaluating the Company’s potential future financial performance. They include, but are not limited to:

risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates, including the impact on other comprehensive income (loss), the ability for customers to repay on floating or adjustable rates loans, and the impact on costs of funding and interest income on earning assets;
risks associated with inflation (including efforts by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve to control the same);
the risk of unfavorable economic conditions in the Company’s market areas, or the impact on the Company’s market areas of national or international economic conditions;
liquidity risks, including the ability to effectively manage the additional liquidity from the significant increase in deposits during the COVID-19 pandemic including managing the potential loss of a portion of such deposits;
increases in nonperforming assets and credit losses that could occur, particularly in times of weak economic conditions or rising interest rates;
reductions in the market value of available-for-sale securities that could result if interest rates increase substantially or an issuer has real or perceived financial difficulties;
the Company’s ability to diversify and grow its loan portfolio;
the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled employees;
the Company’s ability to successfully deploy new technology;
the Company’s ability to maintain a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act;

38

Table of Contents

the outcome of any existing or future legal action for which the Company or Bank is a defendant;
risks associated with the current national emergency with respect to COVID-19 and its variants, including the impact that national, state, and local responses, including limitations on business and personal activity as well as any stimulus or relief efforts have on customers’ continued ability to repay loans;
the success of acquisitions or branch expansions, closures or consolidations; and
risks associated with the multitude of or changes to current and prospective laws and regulations, and related interpretations, to which the Company is and will be subject.

Risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from results that might be implied by forward-looking statements include the risk factors detailed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and in Item 1A, herein. We do not update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The financial information and disclosures contained within those statements are significantly impacted by Management’s estimates and judgments, which are based on historical experience and incorporate various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates under divergent conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, and have the greatest potential impact on the Company’s stated results of operations. In Management’s opinion, the Company’s critical accounting policies deal with the following areas:

the establishment of the allowance for credit losses, as explained in detail in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements and in the “Provision for Credit Losses” and “Allowance for Credit Losses” sections of this discussion and analysis;
the valuation of individually evaluated loans and foreclosed assets, as discussed in Notes 8 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements;
income taxes and related deferred tax assets and liabilities, especially with regard to the ability of the Company to recover deferred tax assets as discussed in the “Provision for Income Taxes” and “Other Assets” sections of this discussion and analysis; and
goodwill and other intangible assets, which are evaluated annually for impairment and for which we have determined that no impairment exists, as discussed in the “Other Assets” section of this discussion and analysis.

Critical accounting areas are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Company’s financial statements incorporate our most recent expectations regarding those areas.

OVERVIEW OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SUMMARY

Third Quarter 2022 compared to Third Quarter 2021

Third quarter 2022 net income was $9.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to $10.6 million, or $0.69 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021. The Company’s annualized return on average equity was 12.84% and annualized return on average assets was 1.13% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 11.62% and

39

Table of Contents

1.26%, respectively, for the same quarter in 2021. The primary drivers behind the variance in third quarter net income are as follows:

Net interest income increased $2.2 million. We had a 17 basis point increase in net interest margin coupled with a $119.1 million increase in average earning assets.
Noninterest income decreased $0.9 million or 12% primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in bank-owned life insurance linked to deferred compensation plans.
The provision for credit losses on loans and leases was $1.2 million under the new current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology, as compared to a benefit of $0.6 million under the incurred loss model in the same quarter of 2021.
Total noninterest expense increased $0.1 million, or 1%, in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021. Although salaries and benefits costs increased $0.9 million as we added new lending teams, other noninterest expense decreased $0.9 million mostly due to a reduction in legal expenses, telecommunications costs and a favorable variance in directors deferred compensation expense, linked to the unfavorable changes in BOLI income described above.

First Nine Months of 2022 compared to First Nine Months of 2021

Net income for the first nine months of 2022 was $26.5 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, compared to $33.4 million, or $2.17 per diluted share for the same period in 2021. The Company’s annualized return on average equity was 10.98% and annualized return on average assets was 1.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a return on equity of 12.60% and return on assets of 1.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The primary drivers behind the variance in year-to-date net income are as follows:

Net income decreased $6.8 million, or 20%. The most significant line-item changes was a $6.6 million increase in the provision for credit losses, under the “CECL” methodology. There was also a decrease of $2.2 million or 3% in net interest income, due mostly to an overall 25 basis point decline in net interest margin. The decline in margin was due primarily to lower yields and balances on loans, as well as higher overall funding costs partially offset by higher investment yields and balances.
Noninterest income increased by $2.1 million, or 10%, due to a $1.0 million recovery of prior year legal expenses, a $1.0 million gain on the sale of investment securities, a $3.2 million gain on the sale of other assets, partially offset by negative variances in BOLI income, and the fair market value adjustment of equity securities.
Noninterest expense increased $1.9 million, or 3% due mostly to the increases in salary expense for new loan production teams and restitution payments to customers charged nonsufficient fund fees on representments in the past five years, partially offset by lower legal costs and a positive variance in director’s deferred compensation expense which is linked to the unfavorable changes in bank-owned life insurance income described above.

FINANCIAL CONDITION SUMMARY

September 30, 2022 relative to December 31, 2021

The Company’s assets totaled $3.5 billion at September 30, 2022, an increase of $161.3 million, or 5%from December 31, 2021. The following provides a summary of key balance sheet changes during the first nine months of 2022:

Cash and due from banks decreased $170.8 million, to $86.7 million during the first nine months of the year due mostly to increases in other earning assets.
Investment securities increased by $252.3 million, or 26%, to $1.2 billion primarily due to strategic purchases of $181 million of collateralized loan obligations, as well as other investment securities.
Gross loans increased $30.6 million, or 2% due predominantly to the purchase of $173.1 million in high quality jumbo single family mortgage loan pools earlier in the year. These mortgage loan pool purchases were offset by $267.7 million in loan maturities, charge-offs and payoffs. Organic loan production for the first nine months of 2022 was $225.1 million, as compared to $93.0 million for the comparative period in 2021. Negatively

40

Table of Contents

impacting loan growth was a $45.2 million decline in credit line utilization and a $54.6 million decline in mortgage warehouse line utilization. PPP loan forgiveness during the first nine months was $27.6 million.
Deposits totaled $2.9 billion at September 30, 2022, representing a year-to-date increase of $103.9 million, or 4%. The growth in deposits came from a $45.5 million increase in core transaction and savings accounts, coupled with a $58.4 million increase in time and wholesale brokered deposits.
Short-term debt totaled $215.1 million due to increases of $103.1 million in overnight FHLB borrowings and $5.1 million in customer repurchase agreements.

Total capital of $295.1 million at September 30, 2022 reflects a decrease of $67.4 million, or 19%, relative to year-end 2021. The decrease in equity during the first nine months of 2022 was due to the addition of $26.5 million in net income, offset by a $72.2 million unfavorable swing in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss, due principally to changes in investment securities’ fair value, a one-time adjustment from the implementation of CECL on January 1, 2022 for $7.3 million, $4.9 million in share repurchases, net of $10.4 million in dividends paid. The remaining difference is related to stock options exercised and restricted stock granted during the first nine months.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

The Company earns income from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest income generated by earning assets less interest expense on deposits and other borrowed money. The second is noninterest income, which primarily consists of customer service charges and fees but also comes from non-customer sources such as BOLI and investment gains. The majority of the Company’s noninterest expense is comprised of operating costs that facilitate offering a full range of banking services to our customers.

.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN

Net interest income was $28.9 million, for the third quarter of 2022, a $2.2 million increase, or 8% over the third quarter of 2021, but decreased $2.2 million, or 3% to $80.3 million for the first nine months of 2022 relative to the same period in 2021.

For the third quarter of 2022, growth in average interest-earning assets totaled $119.1 million, or 4%, as compared to the third quarter of 2021. The yield on these balances was 42 basis points higher for the same period due mostly to a shift in the mix of earning assets and the result of recent interest rate increases by the Federal Open Market Committee. This increase in yield was offset by a 40 basis point increase in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities for the same period. Although transaction and savings deposit rates have not changed, higher costs of time deposits and borrowed funds including overnight purchases are the primary reasons for the increase in interest expense.

Net interest income for the comparative year-to-date periods decreased $2.2 million or 3%, due to a change in mix of average interest-earning assets. Investment balances, including overnight funds, with an average yield of 2.61% increased $360.0 million, while gross average loan balances yielding 4.30% decreased $215.4 million. The overall yield on the average balances of earning assets was 11 basis points lower for the comparative periods, exacerbated by a 21 basis point increase in interest paid on liabilities. The net impact was a 25 basis point decrease in our net interest margin for the nine-months ending September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

The increase in investments includes a net increase of $181.9 million of exclusively AAA and AA tranches of collateralized loan obligations, for a total cost basis of $514.7 million at September 30, 2022. The average yield on such CLOs for September 2022 was 4.6% as compared to an average yield in December 2021 of 1.5%.

Interest expense was $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.1 million, relative to the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, interest expense increased $3.2 million to $6.0 million. The significant increase in interest expense is attributable to an unfavorable shift in deposit mix and the

41

Table of Contents

impact of recent interest rate increased, as the average balance of higher cost time deposits, including variable rate time deposits and borrowed funds increased by $20.4 million and $125.9 million respectively in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021. For the year-to-date comparisons the increase is attributable to a $106.1 million increase in borrowed funds combined with the impact of recent interest rate increases.

The Company had $1.3 billion in adjustable and variable rate loans and $499.4 million in floating rate collateralized loan obligations, as compared to $279.5 million in floating rate CDs and $35.4 million in floating rate trust preferred securities at September 30, 2022. $236.0 million of the Company’s adjustable and variable rate loans have the ability to reprice in the next twelve months.

The Company continues to offer floating rate CDs which are indexed to prime. These floating rate CDs increased $40.6 million or 17%, to $279.5 million at September 30, 2022, as compared to $238.9 million at December 31, 2021. Due to the increase in the prime rate during 2022, interest expense on floating rate CDs has increased $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2022 over the third quarter of 2021, and increased $1.3 million for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. These CD’s require a minimum balance and pay a rate that is 325 – 400 basis points below the Wall Street Journal Prime rate, with a 20 basis point minimum rate.

The level of net interest income we recognize in any given period depends on a combination of factors including the average volume and yield for interest earning assets, the average volume and cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and the mix of products which comprise the Company’s earning assets, deposits, and other interest-bearing liabilities.

The following tables show average balances for significant balance sheet categories and the amount of interest income or interest expense associated with each category for the noted periods. The tables also display calculated yields on each major component of the Company’s investment and loan portfolios, average rates paid on each key segment of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities, and our net interest margin for the noted periods.

Table of Contents

The Volume and Rate Variances table below sets forth the dollar difference for the comparative periods in interest earned or paid for each major category of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of such change attributable to fluctuations in average balances (volume) or differences in average interest rates. Volume variances are equal to the increase or decrease in average balances multiplied by prior period rates, and rate variances are equal to the change in rates multiplied by prior period average balances. Variances attributable to both rate and volume changes, calculated by multiplying the change in rates by the change in average balances, have been allocated to the rate variance.

(1)Subtotals are a sum of the categories above and are not recalculated on the portfolio totals.

The volume variance calculated for the third quarter of 2022 relative to the third quarter of 2021 was a favorable $0.9 million; this is primarily from a favorable volume variance of $1.4 million in interest earning assets, as the average balance of interest earning assets increased $119.1 million from the comparative quarters.. There was a favorable rate variance of $1.0 million from the comparative quarters since the weighted average yield on investment securities more than offset the unfavorable weighted average yield variance on loan and lease balances. There was also a 40 basis point

increase in cost of interest bearing liabilities which negatively impacted the rate increase. There was a favorable mix variance of $0.2 million primarily from the issuance of variable rate investment securities in the form of collateralized loan obligations. The Company’s net interest margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 3.63%, as compared to 3.46% for the third quarter of 2021.

The volume, rate and mix variances calculated for the first nine months of 2022 relative to the first nine months of 2021 reflects an unfavorable volume variance of $1.0 million, an unfavorable rate variance of $2.9 million, and a favorable mix variance of $1.7 million. The unfavorable volume variance was attributed to a decline in loan balances, offset by an increase in investment securities, primarily variable collateralized loan obligations, and an increase in interest bearing liabilities, mostly higher cost borrowed funds. The unfavorable rate variance came from lower yields on interest earning assets exacerbated by an increase in interest bearing liabilities which were negatively impacted from five Federal Reserve fed funds interest rate increases totaling 300 basis points. The Company’s net interest margin for the first nine months of 2022 was 3.41%, as compared to 3.66% in the first nine months of 2021.

At September 30, 2022, approximately 5% of our total portfolio, or $99.7 million, consists of variable rate loans. Of these variable rate loans, approximately $43.1 million have floors, although with the interest rate increases during the first nine months of 2022, most of these loans are no longer at their floors. At September 30, 2022, our outstanding fixed rate loans represented 33% of our loan portfolio. The remaining 62% of our loan portfolio at September 30, 2022 consists of adjustable-rate loans; 70% of these loans (approximately $862.0 million) will not begin adjusting for at least another 3 years, but up to 10 years. These loans are typically adjustable every five years after the initial adjustment. Approximately $60.5 million of these adjustable-rate loans have the ability to reprice next quarter, which will have a positive impact on earnings.

Cash balances for the quarter and year-to-date comparisons have decreased and have less of a negative impact on our net interest margin since cash balances earn considerably lower yields than other earning assets. Average cash and due from banks was $21.8 million, a decrease of $357.8 million, or 94% for the third quarter of 2022, and was $135.6 million lower, or 53% for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

Overall average investment securities increased by $538.7 million for the third quarter of September 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021, and increased by $495.6 million for the first nine months of 2022. For the quarter ending September 30, 2022 over the same period for 2021, average non-taxable securities increased $76.6 million and taxable securities increased $462.2 million. For the first nine months of 2022 over the same period in 2021, average non-taxable securities increased $63.3 million and taxable securities increased $432.3 million. The overall investment portfolio had a tax-equivalent yield of 3.57% at September 30, 2022, with an average life of 7.67 years. Included in investment securities are $499.4 million of collateralized-loan obligations with rates that adjust quarterly.

The increase in interest expense is attributable to the impact of higher rates on floating rate liabilities, including floating rate certificate of deposits. In addition, the shift to being a net purchaser of funds during the third quarter of 2022 caused borrowed funds to increase. Higher cost time deposits and borrowed funds increased by $20.4 million and $125.9 million respectively in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021. For the year-to-date comparisons the increase in interest expense is mostly attributable to a $106.1 million increase in borrowed funds combined with the impact of interest rate increases in 2022.

The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 26 basis points to 40 basis points for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, and by 10 basis points to 24 basis points for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase is almost entirely due to the prime-based certificate of deposit account that adjusts with each change in the Wall Street Journal Prime rate. As described above, this certificate of deposit product pays between 325 and 400 basis points below the Wall Street Journal Prime rate. The Wall Street Journal Prime rate has increased by 300 basis points for the first nine months of 2022. The average cost of borrowed funds increased 96 basis points for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 and by 66 basis points for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the first nine months of 2021. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $36.3 million or 3% for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021, and increased by $77.4 million or 7% for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the first nine months of 2021.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND LEASES

The Company implemented the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") accounting method under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update 2016-03 and related amendments, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) on January 1, 2022. Upon implementation the Company recorded a $10.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses, which included a $0.9 million reserve for unfunded commitments as an adjustment to equity, net of deferred taxes.

Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. The Company sets aside an allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, a contra-asset account, through periodic charges to earnings which are reflected in the income statement as the provision for credit losses on loans and leases. The Company recorded an expense related to a credit loss provision for loans and leases of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 relative to a provision for loan and lease losses benefit of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2021, and a year-to-date credit loss provision for loans and leases of $4.4 million in 2022 as compared to a $2.5 million loan and lease loss provision benefit in 2021. The Company's $1.8 million increase in the provision for credit losses on loans and leases in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021, and the $6.8 million year to date increase in the provision for credit losses on loans and leases, compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to the impact of $4.3 million in net charge-offs in the first nine months of 2022. The increase in the provision for credit losses on loans and leases for the third quarter of 2022 was principally from an $1.2 million increase to the specific reserve on a single dairy relationship while the increase in the provision for credit losses on loans and leases year-to-date also included a charge off on the same loan relationship combined with a single office building loan relationship that was sold at a discount due to an increased risk of default that would have likely led to a prolonged collection period.

Specifically identifiable and quantifiable loan losses are immediately charged off against the allowance, with subsequent recoveries reflected as an increase to the allowance. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $0.2 million in both third quarters of 2022 and 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, net charge-offs were $4.3 million as compared to $0.3 million in net recoveries for the same period of 2021.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases is at a level that, in Management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable credit losses on loans related to individually identified loans as well as probable credit losses in the remaining loan portfolio.

The Company’s policies for monitoring the adequacy of the allowance, determining loan balances that should be charged off, and other detailed information with regard to changes in the allowance are discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, and below, under “Allowance for Credit Losses.” The process utilized to establish an appropriate credit allowance for losses on loans and leases can result in a high degree of variability in the Company’s credit loss provision, and consequently in our net earnings.

Noninterest Income:

Total noninterest income decreased $0.9 million, or 12%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same quarter in 2021, and increased $2.1 million, or 10% for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Service charges on customer deposit account income were relatively unchanged in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021. This service charge income was $0.8 million higher, or 9% in the first nine months of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. These increase in the year-to-date comparisons are primarily a result of increased analysis fees and overdraft income. Overdraft fees and returned check charges were unchanged for the third quarter of 2022 over the like quarter in 2021, and increased $0.4 million to $4.0 million for the first nine months of 2022.

Effective in the third quarter of 2022, the Company made several changes to its NSF fees (i.e. returned item) and overdraft fees for customers.  In particular NSF fees are no longer charged, and overdraft fees are limited to 4 per day and no continuous overdraft fee will be charged.  In addition, the amount of overdraft privilege (i.e. the amount to which the Company will pay overdrafts for customers) was increased by $250. Although the exact impact of these changes is unknown, the combination of eliminating NSF fees and increasing overdraft privilege is not expected to have a material impact on overall overdraft income.

Other service charges and fees increased $0.1 million or 3% for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, and increased $0.2 million for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

There were no gains of the sales of securities for the third quarter of 2022 or 2021, but there was a $1.0 million gain on the sale of securities for the first nine months of 2022 with no sales in the comparable year-to-date period of 2021. The sale in the first nine months of 2022 was a strategic effort to rebalance the portfolio by selling longer duration and higher price volatility securities as a hedge against rising interest rates, due to likely persistent inflationary pressures in the near-intermediate term environment.

BOLI income decreased by $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021. At September 30, 2022, there was $43.1 million in traditional BOLI policies and $9.0 million in separate account corporate owned life insurance policies associated with the deferred compensation plans. Investments in the separate account variable life insurance policies are invested in a similar proportionate mix of asset classes that our deferred compensation participants have elected, with the exception of participant elections in a fixed income account. Such election by plan participants in the fixed income account is ignored which creates greater volatility of the corporate owned life insurance asset value as compared to the related liability balance for deferred compensation. More specifically, the specific account life insurance policies are designed to hold similar assets to the deemed investments in the director and employee deferred compensation plans. Directors and officers are allowed to make a deemed investment in a fixed income account designed to mirror the crediting rate on one of the life insurance policies. However, the amount of deferred compensation attributed to the fixed income account significantly exceeds the amount of life insurance invested in a similar fixed income account. As the life insurance funding does not closely match the deferred compensation deemed investments, fluctuations occur in earnings of the life insurance plan as compared to the related expense of the deferred compensation plan. If earnings on the life insurance plan are negative, it creates a scenario where the negative income is not tax deductible and has an unfavorable impact on the Company’s tax rate. This scenario occurred in 2022 as the lower values of funds inside the life insurance policies were only partially offset by lower deferred compensation expense reflected primarily as negative deferred director fees expense. For the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 life insurance income was $3.7million lower and the related deferred compensation and deferred director’s fees was $2.5 million lower.

In the “other” category of noninterest income the Company there was relatively no change in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021, and a $3.9 million increase in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The year-to-date comparison includes non-recurring gains resulting from the sale of Visa B stock of $2.6 million and a small business investment company fund investment of $0.6 million, as well as $0.4 million in life insurance proceeds, a $1.0 million recovery of prior year legal expenses, $0.2 million reduction in partnership costs, and a $0.2 million gain from a recovery on an acquired loan.

Noninterest Expense:

Total noninterest expense increased by $0.1 million, or 1%, in the third quarter of 2022 relative to the third quarter of 2021, and by $1.9 million, or 3%, in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the first nine months of 2021.

The tax-equivalent efficiency ratio was 58.10% in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 59.75% in the same quarter of 2021, and was 61.10% for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to 58.29% for the first nine months of 2021. The efficiency ratio represents total noninterest expense divided by the sum of fully tax-equivalent net interest and noninterest income; the provision for credit losses on loans and leases and investment gains/losses are excluded from the equation.

Salaries and Benefits were $0.9 million, or 9%, higher in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021 and $2.9 million, or 9%, higher for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The reason for this increase is primarily due to increased salary expense due to the strategic hiring of lending and management staff for both the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons. There were 500 full-time equivalent employees at September 30, 2022 as compared to 482 at September 30, 2021.

Occupancy expenses were $0.1 million higher for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same quarter in 2021 and $0.3 million lower for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The primary reason for increase in the quarterly comparisons was from increases in utility rate and usage. For the year-to-date comparison the decreases came from the closure of five branch facilities in 2021.

Other noninterest expense decreased $0.9 million, or 11% for the third quarter 2022 as compared to the third quarter in 2021, and decreased $0.7 million, or 3% for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The variances for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily driven by a decrease of $0.5 million in legal costs, a $0.7 million favorable variance in directors deferred compensation expense, linked to the changes in BOLI income, and lower telecommunications costs. For the year-over-year comparison the categories of increase were the same as with the quarterly comparison, along with a $0.3 million decrease in consultant expenses partially offset by increases in hiring and recruiting costs, and a $0.7 million restitution payment to customers charged nonsufficient fund fees in the past five years for representments. The restitution payment was made after the FDIC published supervisory guidance addressing certain consumer compliance risks associated with the treatment of non-sufficient fund charges on representments.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, the Company no longer charges customers for returned item fees, commonly referred to as nonsufficient fund fees. In addition, the Company increased overdraft privilege for both commercial and consumer customers, but is limiting the number of daily overdraft fees to four per day (previously five per day) and is no longer charging a fee for continuous overdrafts (previously a $35 charge after the 10th consecutive day an account is in an overdraft position). These changes to our nonsufficient fund fees, overdraft fees and overdraft privilege program are not expected to have a material impact on deposit fee income.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company sets aside a provision for income taxes on a monthly basis. The amount of that provision is deter­mined by first applying the Company’s statutory income tax rates to estimated taxable income, which is pre-tax book income adjusted for permanent dif­ferences, and then subtracting available tax credits. Permanent differences include but are not limited to tax-exempt interest income, BOLI income, and certain book expenses that are not allowed as tax deductions. Our tax credits consist primarily of those generated by investments in low-income housing tax credit funds. The Company's provision for income taxes was 25.1% of pre-tax income in the third quarter of 2022 relative to 24.1% in the third quarter of 2021, and 26.1% of pre-tax income for the first nine months of 2022 relative to 25.0% for the same period in 2021. The increase in effective tax rate for both the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons is due to the volatility in the Corporate Owned Life Insurance asset value associated with our non-qualified deferred compensation plans. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, the investments associated with the non-qualified deferred

50

Table of Contents

compensation plans declined in value, resulting in a non-deductible expense as compared to an increase in value generating non-taxable income for the third quarter, and first nine months of 2021.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

EARNING ASSETS

The Company’s interest earning assets are comprised of loans and investments, including overnight investments and surplus balances held in interest earning accounts in our Federal Reserve Bank account. The composition, growth characteristics, and credit quality of both of those components are significant determinants of the Company’s financial condition. Investments are analyzed in the section immediately below, while the loan and lease portfolio and other factors affecting earning assets are discussed in the sections following investments.

INVESTMENTS

The Company’s investments may at any given time consist of debt securities and marketable equity securities (together, the “investment portfolio”), investments in the time deposits of other banks, surplus interest earning balances in our Federal Reserve Bank account, and overnight fed funds sold. The Company’s investments can serve several purposes, including the following: 1) they can provide liquidity for potential funding needs; 2) they provide a source of pledged assets for securing public deposits, bankruptcy deposits and certain borrowed funds which require collateral; 3) they constitute a large base of assets with structural characteristics that can be changed more readily than loan or deposit portfolios, as might be required for interest rate risk management purposes; 4) they are another interest earning option for the placement of surplus funds when loan demand is light; and 5) they can provide partially tax exempt income.

The investment portfolio is reflected on the balance sheet as investment securities and totaled $1.2 billion, or 35% of total assets at September 30, 2022, and $973.3 million, or 29% of total assets at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to purchases of municipal bonds for $65.8 million, corporate securities of $25.8 million, and AAA and AA tranches of collateralized loan obligations of $167.2 million, partially offset by decreases in government and agency securities, including mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations of $6.4 million.

The Company carries “available for sale” investments at their fair market values and “held to maturity” investments at amortized cost. We currently have the intent and ability to hold our investment securities to maturity, but the securities are all marketable. The expected effective duration was 2.7 years for available-for-sale investments and 6.8 years for held-to-maturity investments at September 30, 2022, as compared to 3.2 years for available-for-sale investments at December 31, 2021.

In the second and fourth quarters of 2022 the Company transferred $162.1 million and $198.3 million, respectively of “available for sale” investments to “held to maturity”. Those securities were transferred at fair market value on the date of the transfer. The transfer was initiated to reduce the effect of potential future rate increases on the available-for-sale portfolio, mark-to-market, other comprehensive income and equity. See Note 9, Investment Securities for additional information.

Net loans and leases at $2.0 billion, increased $22.6 million during the first nine months of 2022 with an overall 1% change. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in 1-4 family residential real estate loans, mostly from the purchase of $173.1 million in high quality fixed-rate jumbo mortgage loans. Other positive variances from organic growth included a $10.8 million increase in ag real estate, a $16.2 million increase in multi-family real estate, and an increase of $4.1 million in commercial real estate. Negatively impacting these positive variances were loan paydowns and maturities resulting in net declines in many categories even with solid loan production. In particular there was a $28.3 million net decrease in construction loans, a $38.4 million decrease in commercial and industrial loans, and a $54.6 million unfavorable variance in mortgage warehouse loans. Further, SBA PPP loan forgiveness resulted in a $27.6 million decline in loan balances, included in the commercial and industrial variance noted above.

The Company’s regulatory commercial real estate concentration ratio decreased to 235% at September 30, 2022 as compared to 248% at December 31, 2021.

Unused commitments, excluding mortgage warehouse and overdraft lines, were $228.4 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $219.6 million at December 31, 2021. Total line utilization, excluding mortgage warehouse and consumer

Table of Contents

overdraft lines, was 57.9% at September 30, 2022 and 61.4% at December 31, 2021. Mortgage warehouse utilization declined significantly to 9% at September 30, 2022, as compared to 28% at December 31, 2021. It should be noted that the majority of the mortgage warehouse lines were moved to repurchase agreement lines that provide stronger credit protection to the Company, as well as more favorable regulatory capital treatment as these repurchase lines are not considered off-balance sheet commitments.

As expected, PPP loans continue to decline as borrowers receive forgiveness on these loans. There were 43 loans for $3.6 million outstanding at September 30, 2022, compared to 438 loans for $31.8 million at December 31, 2021.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming assets are comprised of loans for which the Company is no longer accruing interest, in addition to foreclosed assets which is primarily OREO, but can include other foreclosed assets.

If the Company grants a concession to a borrower in financial difficulty, the loan falls into the category of a TDR, unless the modification was granted under section 4013 of the CARES Act or the April 7, 2020 Interagency Statement. TDRs may be classified as either nonperforming or performing loans depending on their underlying characteristics and circumstances. The following table presents comparative data for the Company’s nonperforming assets and performing TDRs as of the dates noted:

Total nonperforming assets increased by $22.2 million, to $26.8 million during the first nine months of 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in non-accrual loan balances and the downgrade in the first quarter of 2022, consisting of one relationship in the dairy industry comprising four separate loans. These loans were written down by $1.96 million with a corresponding charge-off in the first quarter of 2022. A $1.2 million allowance for credit losses was recorded in the third quarter of 2022 based on management’s most recent estimate of net realizable value on the related collateral. The Company's ratio of nonperforming loans to gross loans increased to 1.33% at September 30, 2022 from 0.23% at December 31, 2021. All of the Company's nonperforming assets are periodically reviewed and are either well-reserved

based on current loss expectations or are carried at the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of expected disposition costs and management believes the established allowance for credit loss on such loans is appropriate based primarily on recent independent appraisals.

As shown in the table, we also had $4.6 million in loans classified as performing TDRs on which we were still accruing interest as of September 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 6%, relative to December 31, 2021.

There were no foreclosed assets at September 30, 2022 and $0.1 million at December 31, 2021, comprised of one property classified as OREO. The property was written down to fair value less disposition costs in the second quarter of 2022 and subsequently sold in the third quarter of 2022. All foreclosed assets are periodically evaluated and written down to their fair value less expected disposition costs, if lower than the then-current carrying value.

An action plan is in place for each of our non-accruing loans and foreclosed assets and they are all being actively managed. Collection efforts are continuously pursued for all nonperforming loans, but we cannot provide assurance that they will be resolved in a timely manner or that nonperforming balances will not increase.

The Company had $1.2 million in loans past due 30-59 days at September 30, 2022. This is a decrease of $1.0 million over the balance at December 31, 2021. All of these past due loans are under management supervision and every effort is being taken to assist the borrowers and manage credit risk in this regard.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – LOANS AND LEASES RECEIVABLE

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, a contra-asset, is established through periodic provisions for credit losses on loans and leases. It is maintained at a level that is considered adequate to measure expected losses on individually identified loans, as well as expected losses inherent in the remaining loan portfolio. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable losses are immediately charged off against the allowance; recoveries are generally recorded only when sufficient cash payments are received subsequent to the charge off.

Due to the uncertainty of national and local economic conditions, the Company deferred implementation of the CECL accounting method under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update 2016-03 and related amendments, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) under section 4014 of the CARES Act. The Company implemented CECL on January 1, 2022, and recorded a $10.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses, which included a $0.9 million reserve for unfunded commitments as an adjustment to equity, net of deferred taxes.

The Company's allowance for credit losses on loans and leases was $23.8 million at September 30, 2022, as compared to $14.3 million at December 31, 2021, and $15.6 million at September 30, 2021. The $9.5 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases during the first nine months of 2022 is due to a $9.5 million one-time adjustment from the implementation of CECL on January 1, 2022, a $4.4 million provision for credit losses on loans and leases, and net loan charge-offs of $4.3 million.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases was 1.18% of gross loans at September 30, 2022, and 0.72% of gross loans at December 31, 2021. Management's detailed analysis indicates that the Company's allowance for credit losses on loans and leases should be sufficient to cover credit losses for the life of the loans and leases outstanding as of September 30, 2022, but no assurance can be given that the Company will not experience substantial future losses relative to the size of the loan and lease loss allowance.

A separate allowance of $0.9 million for potential credit losses inherent in unused commitments is included in other liabilities at September 30, 2022, as compared to $0.2 million at December 31, 2021. As mentioned previously a $0.9 million one-time adjustment was recorded to the reserve for unfunded commitments on January 1, 2022 upon the implementation of CECL.

The Company’s credit allowance for losses on loans and leases at September 30, 2022 represents Management’s best estimate of expected losses in the loan portfolio as of that date, but no assurance can be given that the Company will not experience substantial losses relative to the size of the allowance. Furthermore, fluctuations in credit quality, changes in economic conditions, updated accounting or regulatory requirements, and/or other factors could induce us to augment or reduce the allowance.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company maintains commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business, as long as there are no violations of conditions established in the outstanding contractual arrangements. It is unlikely that all unused commitments will ultimately be drawn down. Unused commitments to extend credit, which included standby letters of credit, totaled $798.8 million at September 30, 2022 and $560.7 million at December 31, 2021, representing approximately 40% of gross loans outstanding at September 30, 2022 and 28% at December 31, 2021. Included in unused commitments are mortgage warehouse lines which are mostly in the form of repo lines and are unconditionally cancellable. Unused commitments on mortgage warehouse lines were $488.4 million at September 30, 2022 and $272.8 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in unused commitments on mortgage warehouse lines is due in large part to the decrease in funded commitments due to the impact of recent interest rate increases. Unused commitments exclusive of mortgage warehouse lines have increased $8.8 million or 4% for the first nine months of 2022 and are due to an increase in new lines of credit. The Company also had undrawn letters of credit issued to customers totaling $2.9 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The effect on the Company’s revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will ever be used. However, the “Liquidity” section in this Form 10-Q outlines resources available to draw upon should we be required to fund a significant portion of unused commitments.

In addition to unused commitments to provide credit, the Company is utilizing a $125 million letter of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank on the Company’s behalf as security for certain local agency deposits which totaled $51.6 million at September 30, 2022. That letter of credit is backed by loans that are pledged to the FHLB by the Company. For more information on the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements located elsewhere herein.

OTHER ASSETS

Interest earning cash balances were discussed above in the “Investments” section, but the Company also maintains a certain level of cash on hand in the normal course of business as well as non-earning deposits at other financial institutions. Our balance of cash and due from banks depends on the timing of collection of outstanding cash items (checks), the amount of cash held at our branches, and our reserve requirement among other things, and it is subject to significant fluctuations in the normal course of business. While cash flows are normally predictable within limits, those limits are fairly broad and the Company manages its short-term cash position through the utilization of overnight loans to, and borrowings from, correspondent banks, including the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Should a large “short” overnight position persist for any length of time, the Company typically raises money through focused retail deposit gathering efforts or by adding brokered time deposits. If a “long” position is prevalent, we could let brokered deposits or other wholesale borrowings roll off as they mature, or we might invest excess liquidity into investments or loans, subject to the bank’s risk tolerances. The Company’s balance of non-earning cash and due from banks was $82.3 million at September 30, 2022 relative to $63.1 million at December 31, 2021.

Foreclosed assets are discussed above in the section titled “Nonperforming Assets.”

Net premises and equipment decreased by $0.9 million during the first nine months of 2022, to $22.7 million. This decline was primarily a result of normal depreciation, the disposal of obsolete equipment, net of new purchases.

Goodwill was $27.4 million at September 30, 2022, unchanged during the first nine months of 2022. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, unless events and circumstances exist which indicate that an impairment test should be performed. A Goodwill impairment test was last performed during the fourth quarter 2021 and determined that no impairment existed. There have been no triggering events in the first nine months of 2022 that would require the Company to perform a Goodwill impairment test, however the Company will continue to monitor its Goodwill for potential impairment.

Bank-owned life insurance, with a balance of $52.1 million at September 30, 2022, is discussed in detail above in the “Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense” section.

DEPOSITS AND INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES

DEPOSITS

Deposits represent another key balance sheet category impacting the Company’s net interest income and profitability metrics. Deposits provide liquidity to fund growth in earning assets, and the Company’s net interest margin is improved to the extent that growth in deposits is concentrated in less volatile and typically less costly non-maturity accounts such as demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, and money market demand accounts. Information concerning average balances and rates paid by deposit type is included in the Average Balances and Rates tables appearing above, in the section titled “Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin.” A distribution of the Company’s deposits by type, showing the period-end balance and percentage of total deposits, is presented as of the dates indicated in the following table.

Deposit balances reflect net growth of $103.9 million, or 4%, during the first nine months of 2022. Time deposits were $332.3million at September 30, 2022 as compared to $293.9 million at December 31, 2021. Most of the increase in time deposits was for the Prime Index Certificate of Deposit account that is floating rate and pays the current Wall Street Journal Prime rate minus a spread of 325 to 400 basis points, with a minimum rate of 20 basis points. Brokered deposits increased $20.0 million or 33% to $80.0 million at September 30, 2022 as compared to $60.0 million at December 31, 2021. Non-maturity deposit growth of $45.5 million for the first nine months of 2022 was primarily the result of increases in balances of existing customers as the total number of customers was relatively unchanged.

Management is of the opinion that a relatively high level of core customer deposits is one of the Company’s key strengths, and we continue to strive for core deposit retention and growth. In particular, the Company’s ratio of noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits was 38.8% at September 30, 2022 as compared to 39.0% at December 31, 2021.

OTHER INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

The Company’s non-deposit borrowings may, at any given time, include fed funds purchased from correspondent banks, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, advances from the Federal Reserve Bank, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, subordinated notes and/or junior subordinated debentures. The Company uses short-term FHLB advances and fed funds purchased on uncommitted lines to support liquidity needs created by seasonal deposit flows, to temporarily satisfy funding needs from increased loan demand, and for other short-term purposes. The FHLB line is committed, but the amount of available credit depends on the level of pledged collateral.

Total non-deposit interest-bearing liabilities increased by $108.4 million, during the first nine months of 2022 primarily due to an increase in customer repurchase agreements and overnight borrowings. Repurchase agreements totaled $112.0 million at September 30, 2022 relative to a balance of $106.9 million at year-end 2021. Repurchase agreements represent “sweep accounts”, where certain customers have elected to have their commercial deposit balances above a specified threshold transferred at the close of each business day into non-deposit investments accounts. The balance in the

58

Table of Contents

investment account is used to have the customer purchase securities or a perfected interest in specifically identified pledged securities from the bank, which are then repurchased by the bank from the customer the next business day. FHLB advances comprised all of the $103.1 million in overnight borrowings at September 30, 2022 relative to no like borrowings at year-end 2021.

The Company had Long term debt totaling $49.2 million and $49.1 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, in the form of 3.25% fixed – floating subordinated debt with a ten-year maturity and junior subordinated debentures totaling $35.4 million at September 30, 2022 and $35.3 million at December 31, 2021, in the form of long-term borrowings from trust subsidiaries formed specifically to issue trust preferred securities.

OTHER NONINTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES

Other liabilities are principally comprised of operating lease right-of-use liabilities, accrued interest payable, other accrued but unpaid expenses, and certain clearing amounts. The Company’s balance of other liabilities was $51.1 million at September 30, 2022 as compared to $35.4 million at December 31, 2021, an increase of $15.7 million or 44%. The increase was primarily driven by the Company’s investment commitment in a $2.6 million low-income housing tax credit fund, a $5.0 million investment commitment in a FinTech Fund and $6.8 million in unsettled investment security transactions.

LIQUIDITY AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity management refers to the Company’s ability to maintain cash flows that are adequate to fund operations and meet other obligations and commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner. Detailed cash flow projections are reviewed by Management on a monthly basis, with various stress scenarios applied to assess our ability to meet liquidity needs under unusual or adverse conditions. Liquidity ratios are also calculated and reviewed on a regular basis. While those ratios are merely indicators and are not measures of actual liquidity, they are closely monitored, and we are committed to maintaining adequate liquidity resources to draw upon should unexpected needs arise.

The Company, on occasion, experiences cash needs as the result of loan growth, deposit outflows, asset purchases or liability repayments. To meet these short-term needs, we can borrow overnight funds from other financial institutions, draw advances via Federal Home Loan Bank lines of credit, or solicit brokered deposits if customer deposits are not immediately obtainable from local sources.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had the following sources of primary and secondary liquidity (dollars in thousands):

Table of Contents

The Company performs regular stress tests on its liquidity and at this time, believes that we have sufficient primary and secondary liquidity sources for operations.

The Company has a higher level of actual balance sheet liquidity than might otherwise be the case, since we utilize a letter of credit from the FHLB rather than investment securities for certain pledging requirements. That letter of credit, which is backed by loans pledged to the FHLB by the Company, totaled $125 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Other sources of liquidity include the brokered deposit market, deposit listing services, and the ability to offer local time-deposit campaigns. Management is of the opinion that available investments and other potentially liquid assets, along with standby funding sources it has arranged, are more than sufficient to meet the Company’s current and anticipated short-term liquidity needs and that its liquidity has not been adversely impacted by COVID-19.

The Company’s primary liquidity ratio and net loans to deposits were 39.12% and 70.01%, respectively, at September 30, 2022, as compared to internal policy guidelines of “greater than 15%” and “less than 95%.” Ratios and sub-limits for the various components comprising wholesale funding, which were all well within policy guidelines at September 30, 2022, are also periodically reviewed by Management and the Board. The Company has been able to maintain a robust liquidity position in recent periods, but no assurance can be provided that our liquidity position will continue at current strong levels.

The holding company’s primary uses of funds include operating expenses incurred in the normal course of business, interest on trust preferred securities and subordinated debt, shareholder dividends, and share repurchases. Its primary source of funds is dividends from the Bank since the holding company does not conduct regular banking operations. As of September 30, 2022, the holding company maintained a cash balance of $12.4 million. Management anticipates that the holding company has sufficient liquidity to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future. Both the holding company and the Bank are subject to legal and regulatory limitations on dividend payments, as outlined in Item 5(c) Dividends in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 which was filed with the SEC.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company does not engage in the trading of financial instruments, nor does it have exposure to currency exchange rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily that of interest rate risk, and we have established policies and procedures to monitor and limit our earnings and balance sheet exposure to changes in interest rates. The principal objective of interest rate risk management is to manage the financial components of the Company’s balance sheet in a manner that will optimize the risk/reward equation for earnings and capital under a variety of interest rate scenarios.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified $162.1 million of securities that have the highest level of volatility to changes in interest rates from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity to mitigate the impact on tangible capital.

To identify areas of potential exposure to interest rate changes, we utilize commercially available modeling software to perform monthly earnings simulations and calculate the Company’s market value of portfolio equity under varying interest rate scenarios. The model imports relevant information for the Company’s financial instruments and incorporates Management’s assumptions on pricing, duration, and optionality for anticipated new volumes. Various rate scenarios consisting of key rate and yield curve projections are then applied in order to calculate the expected effect of a given interest rate change on interest income, interest expense, and the value of the Company’s financial instruments. The rate projections can be shocked (an immediate and parallel change in all base rates, up or down), ramped (an incremental increase or decrease in rates over a specified time period), economic (based on current trends and econometric models) or stable (unchanged from current actual levels).

In addition to a stable rate scenario, which presumes that there are no changes in interest rates, we typically use at least eight other interest rate scenarios in conducting our rolling 12-month net interest income simulations: upward shocks of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points, and downward shocks of 100, 200, and 300 basis points. Those scenarios may be

60

Table of Contents

supplemented, reduced in number, or otherwise adjusted as determined by Management to provide the most meaningful simulations considering economic conditions and expectations at the time. Pursuant to policy guidelines, we generally attempt to limit the projected decline in net interest income relative to the stable rate scenario to no more than 5% for a 100 basis point (bp) interest rate shock, 10% for a 200 bp shock, 15% for a 300 bp shock, and 20% for a 400 bp shock.

The Company had the following estimated net interest income sensitivity profiles over one-year, without factoring in any potential negative impact on spreads resulting from competitive pressures or credit quality deterioration:

N/A

For the periods ending September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, management believes that the Company was asset sensitive, with net income increasing in a rising rate environment in all scenarios but declining in the down shocks. There is a change in the magnitude of the Company’s asset sensitivity based on its interest rate risk model at September 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021, due to the level of overnight cash held with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company had $3.2 million in overnight cash at September 30, 2022 as compared to $355.0 million at September 30, 2021; this reduction in excess funds tempered the degree in which net interest income would increase in the up shocks over the two quarterly comparisons presented. In the up 400 basis point shock scenario, expected net interest income over the next twelve months increases $8.4 million, or 6%, to $140.0 million at September 30, 2022 compared to an 16.1% increase or $17.4 million for the same period in 2021.

The change in net interest income is similar for the up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point scenarios. If there were an immediate and sustained upward adjustment of 100 basis points in interest rates, all else being equal, net interest income over the next 12 months is projected to improve by $2.9 million, or 2%, relative to a stable interest rate scenario, with the favorable variance increasing marginally as interest rates rise higher.

If there was an immediate downward adjustment of 100 basis points in interest rates, net interest income would drop $7.4 million or a negative variance of 6%. The change in net interest income in the down 200 basis point scenario is a decrease of $15.6 million or 12%. All interest rate shock scenarios are within our internal policy guidelines, and we will continue to monitor our interest rate risk profile and implement remedial changes if deemed appropriate.

If there was an immediate downward adjustment of 100 basis points in interest rates, net interest income would drop $8.3 million or a negative variance of 8%. The reason for the drop in net interest income is, most deposit products are at their floors of 0.10% and cannot be re-priced lower, while non-floored interest earning assets  such as loans and securities can theoretically still be re-priced lower in a falling rate environment. Due to the historically low current rate environment, we view any material interest rate reductions as unlikely in the near term. However, the potential percentage drop in net interest income in the “down 100 basis points” interest rate scenario exceeds our internal policy guidelines and we will continue to monitor our interest rate risk profile and implement remedial changes if deemed appropriate.

In addition to the net interest income simulations shown above, we run stress scenarios for the unconsolidated Bank where we model the possibility of no balance sheet growth, the potential runoff of “surge” core deposits which flowed into the Bank in the most recent economic cycle, and unfavorable movement in deposit rates relative to yields on earning assets (i.e., higher deposit betas). When a static balance sheet and a stable interest rate environ­ment are assumed, projected annual net interest income is $6.9 million lower than in our standard simulation.

The modeled economic value (or “fair value”) of financial instruments on the Company’s balance sheet will also vary under the interest rate scenarios previously discussed. The difference between the projected fair value of the Company’s financial assets and the fair value of its financial liabilities is referred to as the economic value of equity (“EVE”), and changes in EVE under different interest rate scenarios are effectively a gauge of the Company’s longer-term exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Fair values for financial instruments are estimated by discounting projected cash flows (principal and interest) at anticipated replacement interest rates for each account type, while the fair value of non-financial accounts is assumed to equal their book value for all rate scenarios. An economic value simulation is a static measure utilizing balance sheet accounts at a given point in time, and the measurement can change sub­stantially over time, as is evident in the tables below for the periods ending September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as the Company’s balance sheet evolves and interest rate and yield curve assumptions are updated.

The change in economic value under different interest rate scenarios depends on the characteristics of each class of financial instrument, including stated interest rates or spreads relative to current or projected market-level interest rates or spreads, the likelihood of principal prepayments, whether contractual interest rates are fixed or floating, and the average remaining time to maturity. As a general rule, fixed-rate financial assets become more valuable in declining rate scenarios and less valuable in rising rate scenarios, while fixed-rate financial liabilities gain in value as interest rates rise and lose value as interest rates decline. The longer the duration of the financial instrument, the greater the impact a rate change will have on its value. In our economic value simulations, estimated prepayments are factored in for financial instruments with stated maturity dates, and decay rates for non-maturity deposits are projected based on historical patterns and Management’s best estimates.

Our EVE increased in the past twelve months primarily driven by an increase in deposits and an increase in deposit values. The tables below show estimated changes in the Company’s EVE as modeled under different interest rate scenarios relative to the base case:

The table shows that our EVE is modeled to deteriorate in declining rate scenarios but should benefit from a paral­lel shift upward in the yield curve. The rate of increase in EVE accelerates the higher interest rates rise. This increase in sensitivity is caused by the increase in gross deposits, namely, an increase in noninterest bearing deposits which become more valuable as interest rates rise. We also run stress scenarios for the unconsolidated Bank’s EVE to simulate the possibility of adverse movement in loan prepay­ment rates, unfavorable changes in deposit rates, and higher deposit decay rates. Model results are highly sensitive to changes in assumed decay rates for non-maturity deposits, in particular, with material unfavorable variances occurring relative to the standard simulations shown above as decay rates are increased. Furthermore, while not as extreme as the variances produced by increasing non-maturity deposit decay rates, EVE also displays a relatively high level of sensitivity to unfavorable changes in deposit rate betas in rising interest rate scenarios.

The potential percentage drop in EVE in the “down 100 and 200 basis points” interest rate scenario exceeds our internal policy guidelines, and we will continue to monitor our interest rate risk profile and implement remedial changes if deemed appropriate. The percentage drop in EVE exceeding internal policy guidelines will most likely continue until interest rates and deposit rates return to historically higher levels.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had total shareholders’ equity of $295.1 million at September 30, 2022, comprised of $112.1 million in common stock, $4.5 million in additional paid-in capital, $239.5 million in retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $61.0 million. At the end of 2021, total shareholders’ equity was $362.5 million. The decrease in equity during the first nine months of 2022 is due to net income of $26.5 million, offset by a $10.4 million dividend paid to shareholders, $4.9 million in share repurchases, a $72.2 million unfavorable swing in other comprehensive income/(loss) due principally to changes in investment securities' fair value and a $7.3 million decrease in retained earnings due to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principal from the implementation of CECL, topic 326. The remaining difference is related to stock options exercised and restricted stock compensation recognized during the quarter.

The Company’s strong liquidity position enabled the transfer of $162.1 million of “available-for-sale” investment securities to “held-to-maturity” classification effective April 1, 2022. The transfer was initiated to reduce the effect of future rate increases on the available-for-sale portfolio, mark-to-market adjustments, comprehensive income and equity.

The Company approved a new share repurchase program on October 20, 2022 (the 2022 Share Repurchase Plan) that is effective upon the expiration of the prior 2021 Share Repurchase Plan on October 31, 2022. The 2022 Share Repurchase Plan authorizes 630,000 shares to be repurchased and expires on October 31, 2023. Under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program, there were 182,562 shares repurchased in the first nine months of 2022.

The Company uses a variety of measures to evaluate its capital adequacy, including the leverage ratio which is calculated separately for the Company and the Bank. Management reviews these capital measurements on a quarterly basis and takes appropriate action to help ensure that they meet or surpass established internal and external guidelines. As permitted by the regulators for financial institutions that are not deemed to be “advanced approaches” institutions, the Company has elected to opt out of the Basel III requirement to include accumulated other comprehensive income in risk-based capital. The following table sets forth the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated.

(1)The Company was subject to these minimum requirements under the regulatory framework for Prompt Corrective Action at December 31, 2019.
(2)If the subsidiary bank’s Leverage Ratio exceeds the minimum ratio under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework, it is deemed to be “well capitalized” under all other regulatory capital requirements. The Company may revert back to the regulatory framework for Prompt Corrective Action if the subsidiary bank’s Leverage Ratio falls below the minimum under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework.
(3)The Company has elected to phase in the impact of implementing CECL on regulatory capital over a three-year period.

The federal banking agencies published a final rule on November 13, 2019, that provided a simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the community bank leverage ratio framework and maintains a leverage ratio greater than 9 percent will be considered to have met the minimum capital requirements, the capital ratio requirements for the well capitalized category under the Prompt Corrective Action framework, and any other capital or leverage requirements to which the qualifying banking organization is subject. A qualifying community banking organization with a leverage ratio of greater than 9 percent may opt into the community bank leverage ratio framework if has average consolidated total assets of less than $10 billion, has off-balance-sheet exposures of 25% or less of total consolidated assets, and has total trading assets and trading liabilities of 5 percent or less of total consolidated assets. Further, the bank must not be an advance approaches banking organization.

The final rule became effective January 1, 2020 and banks that meet the qualifying criteria can elect to use the community bank leverage framework starting with the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The CARES Act reduced the required community bank leverage ratio to 8% until the earlier of December 31, 2020, or the national emergency is declared over. Beginning in 2021 the CBLR was increased to 8.5% for the calendar year with the CBLR increasing to 9% on January 1, 2022. The federal bank regulatory agencies adopted an interim final rule to implement this change from the CARES Act. At September 30, 2021, the Company and the Bank met the criteria outlined in the final rule and the interim final rule and elected to measure capital adequacy under the CBLR framework.
