The Company operates all business activities through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, AltabankTM (the “Bank”), which was organized in 1913.  AltabankTM is a Utah state-chartered bank.  AltabankTM operates under the jurisdiction of the Utah Department of Financial Institutions (“UDFI”), and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). AltabankTM is not a member of the Federal Reserve System; however, the Company is operated as a bank holding company under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and is the sole shareholder of AltabankTM. Both the Company and AltabankTM are subject to periodic examination by applicable federal and state regulatory agencies and file periodic reports and other information with such agencies.  The Company considers AltabankTM to be its sole operating segment.

AltabankTM is a community bank that provides highly personalized retail and commercial banking products and services to small-to-medium sized businesses and to individuals.  Products and services are offered primarily through 26 retail branches located throughout Utah and southern Idaho.  AltabankTM offers a full range of short-term to long-term commercial, consumer and mortgage loans. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and accounts receivable), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements), and purchase of equipment and machinery. Consumer loans include secured and unsecured loans to finance automobiles, home improvements, education, and personal investments. AltabankTM also offers mortgage loans secured by single-family residences. AltabankTM offers a full range of deposit services typically available in most financial institutions, including checking accounts, savings accounts, and time deposits. AltabankTM solicits these accounts from individuals, businesses, associations and organizations, and governmental entities.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company together with its subsidiary Bank. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the accounting standards for interim financial statements.

Use of estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”), the determination of the fair value of certain financial instruments, the valuation of real estate acquired through foreclosure, deferred income tax assets, and share-based compensation.

 

Reclassifications — Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements and/or schedules to conform to the 2020 presentation. These reclassifications may have affected certain ratios for the prior periods. The effect of these reclassifications is considered immaterial.

Business combinations — Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed, both tangible and intangible, and consideration exchanged are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date.  The excess purchase consideration over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.  Expenses incurred in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances related to acquired tax uncertainties are recognized in net income after the measurement period.

Cash and cash equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing deposits, and federal funds sold, all of which have original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. The amounts on deposit fluctuate and, at times, exceed the insured limit by the FDIC, which potentially subjects the Company to credit risk.

 

Investment securities — Investment securities are classified as held to maturity (“HTM”) when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.  Investment securities are classified as available for sale (“AFS”) when the Company has the intent of holding the security for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity.  The Company determines the appropriate classification at the time of purchase, and periodically thereafter.  Investment securities classified as HTM are carried at amortized cost.  Investment securities classified as AFS are reported at fair value.  As the fair value of AFS securities changes, the changes are reported (net of tax, if applicable) in comprehensive income and as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss (“AOCI”) in shareholder’s equity.

 

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount.  Premiums and discounts on securities are generally amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for callable debt securities.  Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to the earliest call date.  When AFS securities, specifically identified, are sold, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified from AOCI to non-interest income.

 

A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become greater than 90 days delinquent.  Delinquent interest accrued but not received for a security placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income.  The Company did not have any accrued interest reversed against interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Allowance for credit losses – AFS securities—For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management assesses whether the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  If either criterion regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to the fair value through non-interest income.  For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, management evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors.  In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which the fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors.  If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security.  If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, which is limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.  Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in AOCI.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a Provision for Credit Losses (“PCL”).  Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an AFS security is confirmed or when either of the criterion regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Non-marketable equity securities — Non-marketable equity securities primarily consist of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. FHLB stock is restricted because such stock may only be sold to FHLB at its par value. Due to the restrictive terms, and the lack of a readily determinable market value, FHLB stock is carried at cost. The investments in FHLB stock are required investments related to the Bank’s borrowings from FHLB. FHLB obtains its funding primarily through issuance of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. The U.S. government does not guarantee these obligations, and each of the regional FHLBs is jointly and severally liable for repayment of each other’s debt.

Loans held for sale —Single-family residential mortgage loans originated with the intent to be sold in the secondary market are considered held for sale. Loans with best effort delivery commitments are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value.  Loans under mandatory delivery commitments are carried at fair value in order to match changes in the value of the loans with the value of the economic hedges on the loans.  Fair values for loans held for sale are determined by comparing actual loan rates to current secondary market prices for similar loans.  Net unrealized losses on loans held for sale that are carried at lower of cost or market are recognized through the valuation allowance by charges to income.  Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with the mortgage servicing rights. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold. Substantially all of the residential mortgage loans originated are sold to larger financial institutions.

Loans held for investment — Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses.  Amortized cost includes the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, deferred loan fees and costs.  Accrued interest is reported as a separate line item on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the effective interest method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued and placed on nonaccrual status at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent, unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection.  Mortgage loans are charged off at 180 days past due, and commercial loans are charged-off to the extent principal or interest is deemed uncollectible.  Consumer and credit card loans continue to accrue interest until they are charged-off no later than 120 days past due unless the loan is in the process of collection.  Past-due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charge-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income.  Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero.  Under the cash-basis method, interest income is recorded when the payment is received in cash.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

 

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”)—A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered to be a TDR.  TDRs are then evaluated to determine if the TDR loan has estimated credit losses using the same methodology used for other individually evaluated loans as described in the next section.  With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the number of loans that have had loan payments deferred has significantly increased.  In accordance with regulatory guidance, to the extent that the borrower was not experiencing financial difficulties prior to the pandemic, such deferments have not been classified as TDRs.

 

Individually evaluated loans — The Company considers loans individually evaluated when they no longer share similar risk characteristics with other loans, based on current information and events, whether it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or identified through its credit monitoring process. Such loans are generally classified as Substandard or Doubtful loans (see Note 3). Individually evaluated loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. Changes in these values are recorded to the ACL through the PCL.

Factors considered by management in determining estimated credit losses include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as individually evaluated. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

Acquired loans – Loans acquired through purchase or through a business combination are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date, including estimates of current expected credit losses.  Some acquired loans have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination.  Such loans are defined as Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”). The Company makes the determination if a loan is PCD by considering past due and/or nonaccrual status, prior designation of a troubled debt restructuring, or other factors that may suggest the Company will not be able to collect all contractual payments due.  Subsequent to acquisition, the amount of expected credit losses as of the acquisition date is added to the purchase price of PCD loans with an offsetting entry to ACL.  Any difference between the unpaid principal balance and the amortized cost basis of the PCD loan as of the acquisition date is the non-credit discount or premium. The non-credit discount recorded at acquisition is amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the PCD loan on an effective interest method.  To the extent that management changes the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses on PCD loans, the ACL will be increased or decreased with a corresponding entry to PCL.

Some acquired loans may not have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination.  Such loans are defined as Purchased Non-Credit Deteriorated (“Non-PCD”) loans.  Non-PCD loans are also recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition, including estimates of current expected credit losses.  However, any current expected credit losses estimated as of the acquisition date are not added to the purchase price with an offsetting entry to ACL, but rather such estimate is included in the difference between the unpaid principal balance and the amortized cost basis of the Non-PCD loan.  This credit and non-credit discount is amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the Non-PCD loan on an effective interest method.  In addition, an allowance for credit losses is determined for Non-PCD loans using the same methodology as loans held for investment with an offset recorded to PCL.  

An acquired loan previously classified by the seller as a TDR is no longer classified as such at the date of acquisition. Past due status is reported based on contractual payment status.  Changes to the ACL for acquired loans are recorded through PCL after adoption.

Allowance for credit losses – Loans — Credit risk is inherent in the business of extending loans and leases to borrowers.  Normally, this credit risk is addressed through a valuation allowance termed allowance for credit losses.  The ACL represents management’s estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) inherent in the loan portfolio at each balance sheet date.  Netted against the outstanding loan balance, this ACL reduces the balance to the Company’s estimate of what will be collected from borrowers.  The ACL is established through charges to current period earnings by recording a PCL.  When losses become specifically identifiable and quantifiable, the loan balance is reduced through recording a charge-off against the ACL.  Should payments be received on a charged-off loan, the payment is credited to the ACL as a recovery.

Management estimates the ACL using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Historical credit loss experience, either internal or peer information, provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses.  Adjustments to historical loss information are made, using qualitative factors, when management expects current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts to differ from the conditions that existed for the period over which historical information was evaluated. Management must exercise significant judgment when evaluating the effect of qualitative factors on the amount of the ACL because data may not be reasonably available or directly applicable for management to determine the precise impact of a factor on the collectability of the loan portfolio as of the evaluation date.  

Management has identified the following loan portfolio segments to evaluate and measure the Company’s allowance for credit losses:

 

Real estate term:  Includes farmland, multifamily, owner-occupied commercial real estate and non-owner occupied commercial real estate.

 

Construction and land development:  Includes 1-4 family residential construction loans, other construction loans, land development loans and other land loans.

 

Commercial and industrial:  Includes agricultural loans, commercial and industrial loans, municipal loans and lease financing receivables.

 

Residential and home equity:  Includes revolving 1-4 family residential lines of credit, first lien 1-4 family residential term loans and junior lien 1-4 family residential term loans.

11

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

 

Consumer and other:  Includes consumer credit cards, automobile loans, revolving consumer lines of credit and other consumer loans.

Management considers qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience, including but not limited to: i) changes in lending policies and procedures; ii) changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses; iii) changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments; iv) changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans; v) changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; vi) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans; vii) changes in the quality of the institution’s loan review system; viii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans; ix) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and, x) the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution’s existing portfolio.  This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision, as more information becomes available.

The Company used the weighted average remaining maturity (or “WARM”) approach, adjusted for prepayments, to calculate CECL at September 30, 2020.  Management may change the approach used to calculate current expected credit losses or loan segments from time-to-time as the Company improves credit loss estimation techniques.  The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from its calculation of the ACL.

Off-balance sheet credit related financial instruments — In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures — The Company estimates expected credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures using the same CECL historical loss rates applied to loans held for investment over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk through a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company, adjusted for funding factors.  The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is reported in other liabilities on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets with an offset to other non-interest expense.  The estimate of CECL includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated life.

Premises and equipment — Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets below:

 

Building and building improvements

 

15 to 40 years

Leasehold improvements

 

  3 to 15 years

Furniture and equipment

 

  3 to 15 years

Computers, software and equipment

 

  3 to 5 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized.

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) — The Bank has purchased life insurance policies. These policies provide protection against the adverse financial effects that could result from the death of a key employee and provide tax-exempt income to offset expenses associated with the plans. It is the Bank’s intent to hold these policies as a long-term investment; however, there may be an income tax impact if the Bank chooses to surrender certain policies. Although the lives of individual current or former management-level employees are insured, the Bank is the owner and sole or partial beneficiary. BOLI is carried at the cash surrender value (“CSV”) of the underlying insurance contract. Changes in the CSV and any death benefits received in excess of the CSV are recognized as non-interest income.

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

Goodwill — Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase considerations paid over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of the fair values of liabilities assumed in a business combination and is not amortized but is reviewed annually, or more frequently as current circumstances and conditions warrant, for impairment. An assessment of qualitative factors is completed to determine if it is more likely than not that, the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative analysis concludes that further analysis is required, then a quantitative impairment test would be completed. The quantitative goodwill impairment compares the reporting unit's estimated fair values, including goodwill, to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its reporting unit’s fair value, then an impairment loss would be recognized as a charge to earnings but is limited by the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Other intangible assets — Other intangible assets consist primarily of core deposit intangibles (“CDI”), which are amounts recorded in business combinations or deposit purchase transactions related to the value of transaction-related deposits and the value of the client relationships associated with the deposits. Core deposit intangibles are amortized over the estimated useful life of such deposits. These assets are reviewed at least annually for events or circumstances that could affect their recoverability. These events could include loss of the underlying core deposits, increased competition or adverse changes in the economy. To the extent other identifiable intangible assets are deemed unrecoverable, impairment losses are recorded in other non-interest expense to reduce the carrying amount of the assets.

Mortgage and other servicing rights — Mortgage and other servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase of such rights or through the sale of loans. Generally, purchased servicing rights are capitalized at the cost to acquire the rights. For loans sold, the fair value of the servicing rights are estimated and capitalized. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable servicing rights contracts. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.

Other real estate owned — Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the foreclosed loan or the fair value of the foreclosed asset, less costs to sell, at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less selling costs. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other real estate owned expense.

Transfers of financial assets — Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Income taxes — Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities represent the tax effect of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax reporting measured at enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The Company recognizes only the impact of tax positions that, based on their technical merits, are more likely than not to be sustained upon an audit by the taxing authority.

Developing the provision for income taxes, including the effective tax rate and analysis of potential tax exposure items, if any, requires significant judgment and expertise in federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred income tax assets and liabilities and any estimated valuation allowances deemed necessary to value deferred income tax assets.  Judgments and tax strategies are subject to audit by various taxing authorities.  While the Company believes it has no significant uncertain income tax positions in the consolidated financial statements, adverse determinations by these taxing authorities could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial positions, result of operations, or cash flows.

Share-based compensation plans — The fair value of incentive share-based awards is recorded as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. Compensation expense for stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation expense for RSUs is based on the fair value of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant. RSU awards generally vest in thirds over three years from date of grant.

Earnings per share — Basic earnings per common share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares include shares that may be issued by the Company for outstanding stock options determined using the treasury stock method and for all outstanding RSUs.

Comprehensive income — U.S. GAAP generally requires that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, net of the related income tax effect, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Impact of recent authoritative accounting guidance — The Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) officially recognized source of authoritative GAAP applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities.  Periodically, the FASB will issue Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) to its ASC.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of the federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP to use as an SEC registrant. All other accounting literature is non-authoritative.

In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes.  The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.  For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for (1) public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. Adoption of ASU 2019-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this ASU broaden the scope of ASC Subtopic 350-40 to include costs incurred to implement a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The costs are capitalized or expensed depending on the nature of the costs and the project stage during which they are incurred, consistent with the accounting for costs for internal-use software. The amendments in this ASU result in consistent capitalization of implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract and implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU were applied prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The ASU removes, modifies and adds disclosure requirements in Topic 820. The following disclosure requirements were removed: 1) the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, 2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and 3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU modified disclosure requirements by requiring that the measurement uncertainty disclosure communicates information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The following disclosure requirements were added: 1) changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for the recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period, and 2) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The ASU significantly changes the accounting for credit loss measurement on loans and debt securities. For loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, the ASU requires a current expected credit loss measurement to estimate the allowance for credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset (including off-balance sheet credit exposures) using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ASU eliminates the existing guidance for purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans but requires an allowance for purchased financial assets with more than an insignificant deterioration since origination, otherwise known as purchased credit deteriorated assets. In addition, the ASU modifies the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities to require an allowance for credit impairment instead of a direct write-down, which allows for reversal of credit impairments in future periods based on an improvement in credit. This ASU was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

 

On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to delay the adoption of CECL by two years to January 2023 for private companies, not-for-profit companies, and certain small public companies that meet the definition of a smaller reporting company (“SRC”), as defined by the SEC. To meet the requirements of an SRC, an entity must be an issuer as defined by the SEC and have public float of less than $250 million, or public float of less than $700 million and annual revenues of less than $100 million. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s public float was $466 million and annual revenues for 2018 were $130 million.  As a result, the Company is not an SRC and, therefore, adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2020.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020, are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.  The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased through an acquisition or business combination.  Loans that were previously classified as PCI and accounted for under ASC 310-30 were reclassified as PCD loans.  In accordance with the new standard, management did not reassess whether PCI loans met the criteria of PCD loan as of the date of adoption.  On January 1, 2020, the amortized cost basis for PCD loans was increased by $1.5 million to reflect the addition of credit discounts to ACL.  The remaining noncredit discount will be accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the portfolio.  For Non-PCD loans, the Company increased its ACL by $2.6 million using the same methodology used for loans held for investment.  The remaining credit and noncredit discount will be accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the portfolio.  Additionally, the Company further increased its ACL by $5.4 million to reflect the change in accounting methodology for CECL.

The following table illustrates the impact of the adoption of ASC 326:

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call obligations with or without penalties and other securities may experience pre-payments.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company held 24 available for sale investment securities with fair value less than amortized cost compared to 146 at December 31, 2019. Management evaluated these investment securities and determined that the decline in value is temporary and related to the change in market interest rates since purchase. The decline in value is not related to any company or industry specific event. The Company anticipates full recovery of the amortized cost with respect to these securities at maturity, or sooner, in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment.  In addition, the Company had no held to maturity securities at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

Note 2 — Investment Securities – continued

The Company sold $48.2 million available for sale securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and recorded a $1.4 million gain on sale of investment securities. The Company did not sell any available for sale securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  There were no available for sale securities in a nonaccrual status at September 30, 2020, or December 31, 2019.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company elected to make a one-time transfer of 140 securities from the held to maturity classification of $64.6 million to the available for sale classification, and recorded an unrecognized loss of $19,000, net of taxes, to other comprehensive income.

As of September 30, 2020, TDRs totaling $16.5 million met the criteria to be delisted for reporting purposes.  To be delisted as a TDR, the Company follows established regulatory guidelines. For a loan that is a TDR, if the restructuring agreement specifies a contractual interest rate that is a market interest rate at the time of the restructuring and the loan is in compliance with its modified terms, the loan need not continue to be reported as a TDR in calendar years after the year in which the restructuring took place. A market interest rate is a contractual interest rate that at the time of the restructuring is greater than or equal to the rate that the institution was willing to accept for a new loan with comparable risk. To be considered in compliance with its modified terms, a loan that is a TDR must be in accrual status and must be current or less than 30 days past due on its contractual principal and interest payments under the modified repayment terms

Credit Quality Indicators:

In addition to past due and non-accrual criteria, the Company also analyzes loans using a grading system. Performance-based grading follows the Company’s definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful, which are consistent with published definitions of regulatory risk classifications.

Definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful are summarized as follows:

Pass: A Pass asset is higher quality and does not fit any of the other categories described below. The likelihood of loss is considered remote.

Special Mention: A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that may be temporary or, if left uncorrected, may result in a loss. While concerns exist, the Company is currently protected and loss is considered unlikely and not imminent.

Substandard: A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have well defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: A Doubtful asset has all the weaknesses inherent in a Substandard asset with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable.

23

 

Note 3 — Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses – Continued

For consumer loans, the Company generally assigns internal risk grades similar to those described above based on payment performance.

 

Outstanding loan balances (accruing and non-accruing) categorized by these credit quality indicators are summarized as follows:

Note 3 — Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses – Continued

Purchased credit-deteriorated loans and purchased non-credit-deteriorated loans. Prior to adoption of ASC 326, purchased loans, including loans acquired in business combinations, were recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. Credit discounts were included in the determination of fair value; therefore, an allowance for loan and lease losses was not recorded at the acquisition date. Acquired loans were evaluated upon acquisition and classified as either PCI or purchased non-credit-impaired. PCI loans reflect credit deterioration since origination such that it is probable at acquisition that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. The outstanding contractual unpaid principal balance of PCI loans, excluding acquisition accounting adjustments, was $6.2 million at December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the non-accretable difference between the contractually required payments and cash flows expected to be collected were $2.8 million. The carrying balance of PCI loans was $3.5 million at December 31, 2019. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.  The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased through an acquisition or business combination.  Loans that were previously classified as PCI and accounted for under ASC 310-30 were reclassified as PCD loans.  In accordance with the new standard, management did not reassess whether PCI loans met the criteria of PCD loan as of the date of adoption.  On January 1, 2020, the amortized cost basis for PCD loans was increased by $1.5 million to reflect the addition of ACL.  The remaining noncredit discount will continue to be accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the portfolio.  The outstanding contractual unpaid principal balance of PCD loans was $0.3 million at September 30, 2020.

The following table presents the changes in the accretable yield for non-PCD loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019:

Loans and deposits to affiliates — The Company has entered into loan transactions with certain directors, principal shareholders, affiliated companies and executive officers (“affiliates”). Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. Total outstanding loans with affiliates were approximately $9.4 million and $5.4 million as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.  Available lines of credit for loans and credit cards to affiliates were approximately $13.3 million and $278,000 as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.  Deposits from affiliates were $8.3 million and $4.5 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

 

Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation contingencies — The Company is involved in various claims, legal actions and complaints, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. In the Company’s opinion, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, that unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Commitments to extend credit — In the normal course of business, the Company has outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and unused credit card lines, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by other parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and unused credit card lines is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unused credit card lines are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

 

 

Note 5 — Fair Value

The Company measures and discloses certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard requires the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

 

•

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active markets for identical or similar instruments, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.  

 

The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize at a future date. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates that must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Securities: The estimated fair values of investment securities are priced using current active market quotes, if available, which are considered Level 1 measurements. For most of the portfolio, matrix pricing based on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices is used to establish the fair value. These measurements are considered Level 2.  Level 3 measurements were determined using discounted cash flow analyses based on the net present value of each security’s projected cash flows using observable market data for similar securities.

29

 

Note 5 — Fair Value - Continued

Non-marketable securities: The fair value is based upon the redemption value of the stock, which equates to its carrying value.

Loans held for sale: The carrying value of these items is a reasonable estimate of their fair value.

Loans held for investment: The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows and estimated prepayments using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term. Some loan types’ fair value approximated carrying value because of their floating rate or expected maturity characteristics.

Deposits: The carrying amount of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings and checking accounts, is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The market value of certificates of deposit is based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is determined using the rates currently offered on comparable instruments.

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Note 7 — Regulatory Capital Matters

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, the FDIC. Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and its consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum common Tier 1 (“CET1”), Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and Tier 1 to average assets (“Tier 1 Leverage”) capital ratios as disclosed in the table below.

The Company’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

Federal Reserve Board Regulations require maintenance of certain minimum reserve balances based on certain average deposits.  On March 15, 2020, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective March 26, 2020.  This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions.  The Bank had a reserve requirement of $9.4 million as of December 31, 2019.

Note 7 — Regulatory Capital Matters - Continued

The Company’s Board of Directors may declare a cash or stock dividend out of retained earnings provided the regulatory minimum capital ratios are met. The Company plans to maintain capital ratios that meet the well-capitalized standards per the regulations and, therefore, dividend amounts may be correspondingly limited.

 

 

Note 8 — Incentive Share-Based Plan and Other Employee Benefits

In May 2020, on approval by and at the recommendation of the Board of Directors (“Board”), the shareholders of the Company approved a share-based incentive plan (“the Plan”). The effective date of the Plan was May 27, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).  The Plan provides for various share-based incentive awards including incentive share-based options, non-qualified share-based options, restricted shares, and stock appreciation rights to be granted to officers, directors and other key employees. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 1,000,000 common shares. The share-based awards are granted to participants under the Plan at a price not less than the fair value on the date of grant and for terms of up to ten years. The Plan also allows for granting of share-based awards to directors and consultants who are not employees of the Company.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company granted 55,930 restricted stock units (“RSU”) at a weighted-average fair value of $28.90 per unit.  All awards granted after the Effective Date and through September 30, 2020, have been under the Plan.  The RSUs generally vest over periods from one to three years. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $1.1 million and $796,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  Additionally, the Company did not grant any options for the purchase of common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

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

The following discussion is intended to provide a more comprehensive review of Altabancorp’s operating results and financial condition than can be obtained from reading the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements alone. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views and are not historical facts.  These statements can generally be identified by use of phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “seek,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “project,” “commit” or other words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe the Company’s future financial condition, results of operations, objectives, strategies, plans, goals or future performance and business are also forward-looking statements. Statements that project future financial conditions, results of operations and shareholder value are not guarantees of performance and many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. For those statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These are forward-looking statements and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections in this report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Form 10-K”), and other parts of this report that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The following is a non-exclusive list of factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements in this filing:

 

•

the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;

 

•

changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s local market;

 

•

inflation, interest rates, securities market volatility and monetary fluctuations;

 

•

increases in competitive pressures among financial institutions and businesses offering similar products and services;

 

•

higher defaults on the Company’s loan portfolio than expected;

 

•

changes in management’s estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses or the adoption of ASU 2016-13;

 

•

risks associated with the Company’s growth and expansion strategy and related costs;

 

•

ability to raise liquidity, either with deposits or other funding sources, to support growth in assets;

 

•

risks associated with the integration of current and future acquisitions;

 

•

increased lending risks associated with high concentration of real estate loans;

 

•

ability to successfully grow business in Utah and neighboring states;

 

•

legislative or regulatory changes or changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines;

 

•

risks associated with cyber security;

 

•

technological changes;

 

•

Overview

AltabancorpTM (the “Company”) is a Utah registered bank holding company organized in 1998.  As a Utah registered bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions (“UDFI”).  The Company operates all business activities through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, AltabankTM (the “Bank”) which was organized in 1913.  The Bank is a Utah state-chartered bank subject to primary regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and by the UDFI.  The Company received federal trademark approval for the operating bank and holding company name and accompanying logos in July 2020.

AltabankTM is the largest community bank in Utah.  AltabankTM, a full-service bank, provides loans, deposit and cash management services to businesses and individuals through 26 branch locations from Preston, Idaho to St. George, Utah. Our clients have direct access to bankers and decision-makers who work with clients to understand their specific needs and offer customized financial solutions. AltabankTM has been serving communities in Utah and southern Idaho for more than 100 years.  Loan growth historically has been the result of mergers and acquisitions as well as organic growth that the Company believes was generated by seasoned relationship managers and supporting associates who provide outstanding service and quick responsiveness to our clients.  The primary source of funding for our asset growth has been the generation of core deposits, which the Company raised from our existing branch system as well as through acquisitions.

Results of operations are largely dependent on net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest earning assets, which are comprised of loans, investment securities and short-term investments and the interest paid on interest bearing liabilities, which are primarily deposits, and, to a lesser extent, other borrowings. Management strives to match the re-pricing characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.

The Company measures performance by calculating net interest margin, return on average assets, and return on average equity. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, by average interest earning assets. Net interest income is the Company’s largest source of revenue. Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of earning assets and liabilities, combine to affect net interest income. The Company also measures performance by its efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.  Local and national governments and regulatory authorities have systematically implemented remedial measures to try to slow and curb the spread of COVID-19, including business closures and operating restrictions, travel bans, and shelter in place, stay home, and similar directives and orders.  In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in adherence with state and local guidelines, the Company has implemented its business continuity plan and other measures and activities to protect associates and, at the same time, to assist clients and the communities of which it is a part, including remote working for the majority of its associates, increased mobile banking and electronic transaction options for clients, payment deferral assistance to commercial and consumer borrowers, and participation in the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program for loans to qualifying small businesses.

Results of Operations

Factors that determine the level of net income include the volume of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, yields earned and rates paid, fee income, non-interest expense, the level of non-performing loans and other non-earning assets, and the amount of non-interest bearing liabilities supporting earning assets. Non-interest income primarily includes service charges and other fees on deposits, and mortgage banking income. Non-interest expense consists primarily of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy, equipment and depreciation expense, and other operating expenses.

Average Balance and Yields. The following tables summarize average balances with corresponding interest income and interest expense, as well as average yield, cost and net interest margin information for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances. Average non-accrual loans are derived from quarterly balances and are included as non-interest earning assets for purposes of these tables.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table shows the change in interest income and interest expense and the amount of change attributable to variances in volume, rates and the combination of volume and rates based on the relative changes of volume and rates. For purposes of this table, the change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to change due to volume and rate in proportion to the relationship of absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net interest income decreased $2.4 million, or 8.50%, to $25.8 million compared with $28.2 million for the same period a year earlier.  The decrease is primarily the result of net interest margins narrowing 152 basis points to 3.52% for the same comparable period.  The narrowing of net interest margins is primarily the result of the Federal Reserve reducing benchmark rates to almost zero and an increase in the average amount of lower yielding cash and investment securities held by the Company stemming from average core deposits increasing $592 million, or 29.48%, for the same respective period offset by average interest earning assets increasing $696 million, or 31.33%, to $2.92 billion for the same comparable period.  The percentage of average loans to total average interest earning assets decreased to 58.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 75.80% for the same period a year earlier.

 

Yields on interest earning assets declined 171 basis points to 3.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 5.45% for the same period a year earlier.  The decline in yields on interest earning assets is primarily the result of the average amount of cash and investment securities held by the Company increasing $684 million, or 128%, to $1.22 billion for the same comparable period with the yield on cash and securities declining 70 basis points to 1.49% for the third quarter of 2020 compared with 2.19% for the same comparable period.  

 

In addition, the yield on loans declined 112 basis points to 5.37% compared with 6.49% for the same comparable period.  Average loans outstanding increased $11.6 million, or 0.69%, to $1.69 billion for the same comparable period.

 

 

38

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, total cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 32 basis points to 0.38% compared with 0.70% for the same period a year earlier, and is primarily the result of the cost of interest bearing deposits decreasing 32 basis points to 0.38% compared with 0.70% for the same period a year ago.  For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the total cost of funds decreased 20 basis points to 0.25% compared with 0.45% for the same period a year ago.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, acquisition accounting adjustments, including the accretion of loan discounts and fair value amortization on time deposits, added 7 basis points to net interest margin.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net interest income decreased $4.0 million, or 4.84%, to $78.8 million compared with $82.8 million for the same period a year earlier.  The decrease is primarily the result of net interest margins narrowing 115 basis points to 4.04% for the same comparable period.  The narrowing of net interest margins is primarily the result of the Federal Reserve reducing benchmark rates to almost zero and an increase in the average amount of lower yielding cash and investment securities held by the Company stemming from average core deposits increasing $407 million, or 21.05%, for the same respective period offset by average interest earning assets increasing $472 million, or 22.08%, to $2.61 billion for the same comparable period.  The percentage of average loans to total average interest earning assets decreased to 64.80% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 78.76% for the same period a year earlier.

 

Yields on interest earning assets declined 130 basis points to 4.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 5.62% for the same period a year earlier.  The decline in yields on interest earning assets is primarily the result of the average amount of cash and investment securities held by the Company increasing $464 million, or 103%, to $915 million for the same comparable period with the yield on cash and securities decreasing 38 basis points to 1.28% for the same comparable period.  In addition, the yield on loans declined 80 basis points for the same comparable periods and average loans outstanding increased $7.4 million, or 0.44%, to $1.69 billion for the same comparable period.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 25 basis points to 0.47% compared with 0.72% for the same period a year earlier, and is the result of the cost of short-term borrowings decreasing 228 basis points to 0.35%, as well as the cost of interest bearing deposits decreasing 24 basis points to 0.48% compared with 0.72% for the same period a year ago.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the total cost of funds decreased 16 basis points to 0.31% compared with 0.47% for the same period a year ago.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, acquisition accounting adjustments, including the accretion of loan discounts and fair value amortization on time deposits, added 9 basis points to net interest margin.

 

The Company expects its net interest income and net interest margins to continue to be adversely impacted in future periods because of the Federal Reserve lowering benchmark rates to near zero and the current asset mix of the Company’s balance sheet. The amount of the impact is dependent upon the length in time that the Federal Reserve holds benchmark rates to near zero, and the amount of time the Company holds a higher percentage of low yielding cash and investment securities.

Net Income. Net income increased $0.2 million to $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This was primarily attributable to no provision for credit losses, an increase in non-interest income of $1.7 million offset by a decrease in net interest income of $2.4 million, an increase in non-interest expense of $0.8 million and an increase in income tax expense of $0.3 million.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net interest income decreased $2.4 million, or 8.50%, to $25.8 million compared with $28.2 million for the same period a year earlier.  The decrease is primarily the result of net interest margins narrowing 152 basis points to 3.52% for the same comparable period.  The narrowing of net interest margins is primarily the result of the Federal Reserve reducing benchmark rates to almost zero and an increase in the average amount of lower yielding cash and investment securities held by the Company stemming from average core deposits increasing $592 million, or 29.48%, for the same respective period offset by average interest earning assets increasing $696 million, or 31.33%, to $2.92 billion for the same comparable period.  The percentage of average loans to total average interest earning assets decreased to 58.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 75.80% for the same period a year earlier.

Yields on interest earning assets declined 171 basis points to 3.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 5.45% for the same period a year earlier.  The decline in yields on interest earning assets is primarily the result of the average amount of cash and investment securities held by the Company increasing $684 million, or 128%, to $1.22 billion for the same comparable period with the yield on cash and securities declining 70 basis points to 1.49% for the third quarter of 2020 compared with 2.19% for the same comparable period.  In addition, the yield on loans declined 112 basis points to 5.37% compared with 6.49% for the same comparable period.  Average loans outstanding increased $11.6 million, or 0.69%, to $1.69 billion for the same comparable period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, total cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 32 basis points to 0.38% compared with 0.70% for the same period a year earlier, and is primarily the result of the cost of interest bearing deposits decreasing 32 basis points to 0.38% compared with 0.70% for the same period a year ago.  For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the total cost of funds decreased 20 basis points to 0.25% compared with 0.45% for the same period a year ago.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, acquisition accounting adjustments, including the accretion of loan discounts and fair value amortization on time deposits, added 7 basis points to net interest margin.

Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses in each period is a charge against earnings in that period. The provision is that amount required to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb current expected credit losses in the loan portfolio.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not record any provision for credit losses in the third quarter compared with $2.1 million for the same period a year earlier, which was calculated under the prior incurred loss methodology.  The provisions for the current and preceding two quarters reflect expected lifetime credit losses based upon the current conditions and the potential effects from forecasted deterioration of economic metrics due to the COVID-19 pandemic based on the outlook as of September 30, 2020.  The decrease in provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same period a year earlier is due primarily to an $11 million, or 60%, decline in loans individually evaluated for expected credit losses to $7.4 million and the related allowance for credit losses of $4.4 million.  This was offset by a $49 million, or 3.00%, increase in loans collectively evaluated for expected credit losses to $1.6 billion and the related allowance for credit losses of $37.1 million.  The Company incurred net charge-offs of $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with net recoveries of $0.3 million for the same period a year ago.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, noninterest income increased $1.7 million, or 36.94%, to $6.1 million compared with $4.5 million the same period a year ago.  The increase was primarily due to a $1.7 million, or 81.95%, increase in mortgage banking income to $3.9 million compared with $2.1 million for the same period a year ago resulting from higher volume and wider margins on loans sold, which was favorably impacted by an increase in mortgage loan refinances, as overall interest rates declined.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, noninterest expense was $16.9 million compared with $16.1 million for the same period a year earlier.  For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 52.86% compared with 49.20% for the same period a year ago.

 

The increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily the result of higher salaries and associate benefits resulting primarily from higher incentive payments, particularly in the mortgage banking division.  In addition, the Company has incurred higher data processing expenses due to investments made in new technologies for the mortgage banking division; technology investments made in the commercial banking division, which include costs for its cloud-based, commercial loan origination application (nCino), costs for automated processes for smaller ticket commercial loans (AltaexpressTM), costs for the implementation of a Salesforce CRM solution, costs for a new cloud-based, commercial client treasury management solution; and  costs for a new cloud-based, construction budget, draw and inspection management solution for both commercial and consumer clients.  The Company expects to continue to make significant investments in new technologies to enhance overall client experience and empower clients to transact more business on the Bank’s mobile platform; to lower the overall costs of the Bank’s operating platform; and to become more scalable as the Company aggressively evaluates acquisition opportunities.   Noninterest expense also increased from higher marketing and advertising expenses, because of continued efforts to improve overall brand recognition in the regional markets in which the Company operates.

Income Tax Expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, income tax expense was $3.7 million compared with $3.4 million for the same period a year earlier.  For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the effective tax rate was 24.62% compared with 23.15% for the same period a year ago.

Net Income. Net income decreased $0.2 million to $32.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income of $4.0 million, an increase in non-interest expense of $3.6 million, and an increase in income tax expense of $0.2 million, offset by an increase in non-interest income of $4.6 million, and a decrease in provision for credit losses of $3.0 million.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net interest income decreased $4.0 million, or 4.84%, to $78.8 million compared with $82.8 million for the same period a year earlier.  The decrease is primarily the result of net interest margins narrowing 115 basis points to 4.04% for the same comparable period.  The narrowing of net interest margins is primarily the result of the Federal Reserve reducing benchmark rates to almost zero and an increase in the average amount of lower yielding cash and investment securities held by the Company stemming from average core deposits increasing $407 million, or 21.05%, for the same respective period offset by average interest earning assets increasing $472 million, or 22.08%, to $2.61 billion for the same comparable period.  The percentage of average loans to total average interest earning assets decreased to 64.80% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 78.76% for the same period a year earlier.

Yields on interest earning assets declined 130 basis points to 4.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 5.62% for the same period a year earlier.  The decline in yields on interest earning assets is primarily the result of the average amount of cash and investment securities held by the Company increasing $464 million, or 103%, to $915 million for the same comparable period with the yield on cash and securities decreasing 38 basis points to 1.28% for the same comparable period.  In addition, the yield on loans declined 80 basis points for the same comparable period and average loans outstanding increased $7.4 million, or 0.44%, to $1.69 billion for the same comparable period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 25 basis points to 0.47% compared with 0.72% for the same period a year earlier, and is the result of the cost of short-term borrowings decreasing 228 basis points to 0.35%, as well as the cost of interest bearing deposits decreasing 24 basis points to 0.48% compared with 0.72% for the same period a year ago.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the total cost of funds decreased 16 basis points to 0.31% compared with 0.47% for the same period a year ago.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, acquisition accounting adjustments, including the accretion of loan discounts and fair value amortization on time deposits, added 9 basis points to net interest margin.

Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses in each period is a charge against earnings in that period. The provision is that amount required to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb current expected credit losses in the loan portfolio.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, provision for credit losses was $2.8 million compared with $5.8 million for the same period a year earlier as calculated under the prior incurred loss methodology.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred net charge-offs of $2.1 million compared with net charge-offs of $0.6 million for the same period a year ago.

The Company originates certain residential mortgage loans for sale to investors that are carried at cost. Due to the short period held, generally less than 90 days, the Company considers the carrying value of these loans held for sale to be the approximate fair value.

The following table shows the amounts of outstanding loans, which, based on remaining scheduled repayments of principal, were due in one year or less, more than one year through five years, and more than five years. Lines of credit or other loans having no stated maturity and no stated schedule of repayments are reported as due in one year or less. In the table below, loans are classified as real estate related if they are collateralized by real estate. The tables also present, for loans with maturities over one year, an analysis with respect to fixed interest rate loans and adjustable interest rate loans.

The sum of adjustable rate loans maturing after one year and total loans maturing within one year is $1.3 billion or 78.4% of total gross loans held for investment at September 30, 2020.

Concentrations. As of September 30, 2020, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in real estate related loans. At that date, real estate related loans comprised 82.3% of total loans held for investment, of which 59.4% are real estate term loans, 13.9% are construction and land development loans, and 9.0% are residential and home equity loans. The Company requires collateral on real estate lending arrangements and typically maintain loan-to-value ratios of up to 85%, except for some residential construction loans of up to 95% loan-to-value provided the loan includes pre-approved long-term financing and some commercial real estate loans of up to 75% with a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.25 times.  The Company’s concentration in commercial and industrial loans has increased to 17.1% at September 30, 2020 from 16.9% at December 31, 2019.  

Non-Performing Assets. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more past due or at such earlier time as management determines timely recognition of interest to be in doubt. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collection efforts, and the borrower’s financial condition, that the borrower will be unable to make payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received, or payment is considered certain. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

45

 

The following non-performing assets table summarizes the loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued, loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest, including those non-accrual loans that are TDRs, and OREO:

Non-performing assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 have not been reduced by U.S. government guarantees of $2.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Individually evaluated loans are when a loan no longer share similar risk characteristics with other loans, based on current information and events, whether it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when identified through its credit monitoring process. The Company measures estimated credit losses based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent.

In determining whether or not a loan is individually evaluated, the Company considers payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as individually evaluated. The Company determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the loan and borrower, including the length of delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Loans for which an insignificant shortfall in amount of payments is anticipated, but where the Company expects to collect all amounts due, are not considered individually evaluated.

Troubled-debt Restructured Loans. A restructured loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring, or TDR, if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession in terms or a below-market interest rate to the debtor that the Company would not otherwise consider. TDRs were $7.3 million and $28.4 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. TDRs are considered individually evaluated loans of which $5.2 million and $3.1 million were designated as non-accrual at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Each restructured debt is separately negotiated with the borrower and includes terms and conditions that reflect the borrower’s prospective ability to service the debt as modified.

The Company offered a temporary loan payment relief program of deferments up to six months to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Under rare circumstances, deferred loans will be re-evaluated at the end of the deferral period.  To qualify for a second loan deferral, the Company will require a full re-underwriting of the credit.

The Company offered temporary loan payment relief to 415 businesses and 108 individuals totaling approximately $320 million, or 18.5% of total loans, excluding SBA PPP loans, to address cash flow challenges for those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  The deferral period has ended for 237 borrowers, or 45.49%, for loans totaling $128 million.  This leaves 284 borrowers, or 54.51%, for loans totaling $191 million still on deferral.  There are only four borrowers on small balance loans totaling $0.07 million, who have not made a subsequent loan payment for 30 days or greater, after their payment deferment agreement expired.  The Company has not entered into another loan payment deferment agreement with any borrower, who has entered into a previous loan payment deferment agreement.  Since these loans were performing loans that were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, these modifications are not considered to be troubled debt restructurings pursuant to applicable accounting and regulatory guidance.

The Company funded 333 applications from businesses that participated in the SBA PPP for a total of $84.6 million. The Company has filed 62 applications, or 19%, with the SBA, totaling $19.0 million and has received loan forgiveness on 15 loans, totaling $0.8 million.  The Company has not received a denial on any application submitted to the SBA for loan forgiveness.  The Company is participating in the PPPL facility offered by the Federal Reserve to fund SBA PPP loans and to receive regulatory capital relief for such loans.  The Company expects to have most of its SBA PPP loans forgiven by the end of the second quarter 2021.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company maintains an adequate allowance for credit losses, or ACL, based on a comprehensive methodology that determines our current expected credit losses (“CECL”) for investment securities available for sale, loans held for investment, and off balance sheet commitments.

47

 

Management estimates the ACL using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Historical credit loss experience, either internal or peer information, provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses.  Adjustments to historical loss information are made, using qualitative factors, when management expects current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts to differ from the conditions that existed for the period over which historical information was evaluated. Management must exercise significant judgment when evaluating the effect of qualitative factors on the amount of the ACL because data may not be reasonably available or directly applicable for management to determine the precise impact of a factor on the collectability of the loan portfolio as of the evaluation date.  

Management considers qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with our existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience, including but not limited to; i) changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses; ii)  changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments; iii) changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans; iv) changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;  v) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans; vi) changes in the quality of the institution’s loan review system; vii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans; viii) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and, ix) the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution’s existing portfolio.  This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision, as more information becomes available.

The Company used the weighted average remaining maturity (or “WARM”) approach, adjusted for prepayments, to calculate CECL at September 30, 2020 and segmented its loan portfolio into seventeen loan segments based on similar risk characteristics.  Management may change the approach used to calculate current expected credit losses or loan segments from time-to-time as the Company improved credit loss estimation techniques.  The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable and net deferred fees from its calculation of ACL.

The ACL to loans held for investment was 2.45% at September 30, 2020, compared with 1.82% at September 30, 2019.  The allowance for credit losses is also adjusted based on changes to the underlying loan portfolio, changes to our historical loss rates, and adjustments to qualitative ACL factors due to changes in current conditions.

 

The Company’s construction and land development portfolio reflects borrower concentration risk, and also carries the enhanced risks encountered with construction loans generally. Construction and land development loans are generally more risky than permanent mortgage loans because they are dependent upon the borrower’s ability to generate cash to service the loan, and the value of the collateral depends on project completion when market conditions may have changed.  The Company’s commercial real estate loans are a mixture of new and seasoned properties, retail, office, warehouse, and some industrial properties. Loans on properties are usually underwritten at a loan to value ratio of up to 75% with a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.25 times.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on an annual basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) intent and ability to retain investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Deposits

Total deposits were $2.72 billion at September 30, 2020 and $2.06 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in total deposits is attributed primarily to monies received by clients from government relief programs and relief programs the Company offered as well as organic growth.  Non-interest bearing demand deposits were $1.0 billion, or 38.2% of total deposits at September 30, 2020 compared with $719.4 million, or 35.0% of total deposits at December 31, 2019. Interest bearing deposits are comprised of interest bearing DDA accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit of $250,000 or less, and certificates of deposit of more than $250,000.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity totaled $360.3 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $27.9 million, or 8.40%, since December 31, 2019. The increase in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to an increase of $10.7 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, and net income of $32.5 million for the period less dividends paid of $7.7 million, and the impact to capital of adopting ASC 326 of $6.7 million and shares repurchased of $2.1 million.

51

 

Dividends of $0.41 per share were declared during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 representing 23.8% of the net income for the same period. The Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share on October 28, 2020, payable on November 16, 2020 for shareholders of record on November 9, 2020.  Future cash dividends will depend on a variety of factors, including net income, capital, asset quality, general economic conditions, and regulatory considerations.

Capital Resources

The Company is subject to risk-based capital adequacy guidelines related to the adoption of U.S. Basel III Capital Rules. Specifically, the rules impose, among other requirements, minimum capital requirements including a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.0%, a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%.

Liquidity

The ability to have readily available funds sufficient to repay fully maturing liabilities is of primary importance to depositors, creditors and regulators. Liquidity, which is represented by cash borrowing lines, federal funds and available for sale securities, is a result of operating, investing and financing activities and related cash flows. In order to ensure funds are available at all times, the Company devotes resources to projecting, on a monthly basis, the amount of funds that will be required, and the Company maintains relationships with a diversified customer base so funds are accessible. Liquidity requirements can also be met through short-term borrowings or the disposition of short-term assets. The Company has borrowing lines at a correspondent bank totaling $25.0 million. The Company also has a current borrowing line with the FHLB, totaling $1.4 billion at September 30, 2020, which is secured by various real estate loans pledged as collateral totaling $782.5 million and investment securities of $868.0 million.  To provide liquidity to small business lenders, to help stabilize the financial system, and to provide economic relief to small businesses nationwide, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System authorized each of the Federal Reserve Banks to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility (“PPPLF”). Under the PPPLF, each of the Federal Reserve Banks will extend non-recourse loans to eligible financial institutions to fund loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration under the Paycheck Protection Program. In addition, loans originated under the SBA PPP will receive a zero percent risk weight under the agencies’ regulatory capital rule.  The Company funded 333 applications from businesses that participated in the SBA PPP for a total of $84.6 million.  The Company has chosen to participate in the PPPLF and has a balance of $83.5 million collateralized by these SBA PPP loans.  The Company has an additional borrowing line with the Federal Reserve Bank of $20.6 million, which is secured by $22.2 million of investment securities.

The Company believes its liquid assets are adequate to address cash flow needs for loan funding and deposit cash withdrawal for the next 60 to 90 days. At September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $434.0 million in net liquid assets comprised of $225.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, which includes interest bearing deposits of $180.8 million and federal funds sold of $0.1 million, $1.1 billion in available for sale investment securities and $31.9 million in loans held for sale, less $945.9 million of available for sale securities pledged as collateral for short-term borrowings.

On a long-term basis, the Company’s liquidity will be met by changing the relative distribution of our asset portfolios by reducing our investment or loan volumes, or selling or encumbering assets. Further, the Company will increase liquidity by soliciting higher levels of deposit accounts through promotional activities and/or borrowing from its correspondent banks, as well as the FHLB. At the current time, the Company’s long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to funds required to support loan originations and commitments, deposit withdrawals and pending acquisitions. All of these needs can currently be met by cash flows from investment payments and maturities, and investment sales if the need arises.

The Company’s liquidity is comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from or used in operating activities; cash flows from or used in investing activities; and cash flows from or used in financing activities.

Net cash provided by or used in operating activities has consisted primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash income and expense items such as the loan loss provision, depreciation and amortization, amortization of investment discount and premiums, share based compensation, changes in the value of bank owned life insurance and other gains and losses.

The Company’s primary investing activities are the origination of real estate, commercial and consumer loans and purchases and sales of investment securities. At September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of $688.3 million, credit card commitments of $27.5 million and outstanding letters of credit of $26.5 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $734.3 million, principally from an increase in deposit balances, an increase in short-term borrowings offset by dividends paid to shareholders during the period and share repurchases.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s assessment of market risk at September 30, 2020 indicates there have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures from those in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as required by Exchange Act Rules 240.13a-15(b) and 15d-14(a)) at September 30, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective and timely, providing them with material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2020, to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

54

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is involved in various claims, legal actions and complaints that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the Company’s opinion, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, that unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Form 10-K 2019”) identifies various market, credit, and operations risk factors that could affect our results of operations.  For example, the Company explained therein that the Company’s “profitability depends on interest rates generally, and may be adversely affected by changes in market interest rates.”  Form 10-K 2019 at page 29.  Specifically, “In response to market concerns arising from the spread of COVID-19, among other domestic and global events, interest rates in the U.S. have recently declined” and “interest rates may decrease further as a result of such events, which could adversely affect our financial condition and earnings.”  As conditions and circumstances related to COVID-19, including its declaration as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, are continuing to evolve, the Company provides the following supplement to the risk factors identified in its Form 10-K 2019:

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly adversely impacted the global and national economies since its onset in late 2019.  This pandemic is expected to continue to adversely impact the global economy, though the scope, extent, and duration of such impact is presently not known or quantifiable.  The future direct and indirect qualitative and quantitative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition remain uncertain.  As the COVID-19 pandemic persists and global and national economies continue to decline, the effects on the Company’s business and operations could include, without limitation: (i) increased margin compression as lower interest rates persist; (ii) increased noninterest expenses; (iii) increased credit losses and net charge-offs; (iv) deterioration of asset and collateral values due to declining financial condition of consumer and commercial borrowers; and (v) decreased demand for financial products and services.

National government and regulatory authorities have taken steps to try to stimulate the economy and counteract the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which included the implementation of the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), providing loans to eligible small businesses to fund payroll and other qualifying expenses.  The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) has also taken economic stimuli steps by lowering the federal funds rate and the interest rate on the Federal Reserve’s discount window; issuing clarifying guidance on loan modifications due to COVID-19-related non-payment, and implementing and expanding the scope and access of its Main Street Lending Program and its Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility for SBA-qualified lenders.  The impact of these prophylactic measures is not yet known.

The Company continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic situation closely.  The scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet known and, as such, its potential adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial results is highly uncertain.  As recession-like economic conditions persist in global, national, and local economies, however, the COVID-19 pandemic could have a long-term negative effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Item 5. Other Information

BOLI Purchase.  The Bank is the owner and sole or partial beneficiary of life insurance policies on the lives of executive officers and senior management associates, known as bank-owned life insurance (BOLI).  The Bank had an existing investment in BOLI of $27.4 million (cash surrender value).  At September 30, 2020, the Company made an additional investment in BOLI in the amount of $14.8 million (the “BOLI Purchase”).  The number of participants in the BOLI Purchase is 30, which includes all of the Bank’s executive officers and many members of senior management.  The BOLI Purchase supplemented existing policies for certain executive officers and senior management and added policies for new executive officers and members of senior management who have been promoted or joined the Bank within the last several years.  The amount of insurance purchased on each participant was determined after considering title/position, annual salary, and benefits and incentives, and the death benefit represents a multiple between 5-12 times of the respective participant’s salary. The Company’s BOLI program is designed to be implemented in accordance with regulatory requirements.  The Bank purchased life insurance policies on eligible associates, and will receive future earnings credits on the premiums that it pays, as well as tax benefits during the policy term. The Bank will receive life insurance proceeds at the time of the participant’s death. Throughout the life of the policies, the Bank will pay all premiums and will be the sole owner and beneficiary of the policies under the BOLI Purchase. The policies will continue in force even if or after participants leave the Bank.  As part of the BOLI Purchase, each participant is entitled to receive a pre-retirement death benefit of at least $250,000 in conjunction with the BOLI program, participation in which is voluntary.
