NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Peoples" refers to Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively, except where the context indicates the reference relates solely to Peoples Bancorp Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 (“Peoples' ~~2017~~2018 Form 10-K”).

The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in ~~Note~~"Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ ~~2017~~2018 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Form 10-Q. Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after June 30, ~~2018~~2019 for potential recognition or disclosure in these unaudited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, contained herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ ~~2017~~2018 Form 10-K.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.

New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. The following accounting pronouncements should be read in conjunction with "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ~~2018-07~~2017-04 - ~~Compensation~~Intangibles - ~~Stock Compensation~~Goodwill and Other (Topic ~~718)~~350): ~~The update has been issued as part of a simplification initiative which will expand~~Simplifying the ~~scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions~~Test for ~~acquiring goods and services from non-employees and expands the scope through the amendments to address and improve aspects of the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions.~~Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. This accounting guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, ~~2018~~2019 (effective January 1, ~~2019~~2020 for Peoples). Peoples ~~will adopt~~early adopted this new accounting guidance as ~~required, and it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.~~

~~ASU 2018-06 - Codification Improvements (Topic 942): The update has been issued to increase stakeholders' awareness~~ of the improvements to Topic 942, Financial Services - Depository and Lending. The update will supersede outdated guidance related to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's Banking Circular 202, Accounting for Net Deferred Tax Charges. The amendments became effective May 7, 2018, and did not have an impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-05 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): The amendments in this ASU clarify required disclosures in situations where a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting under ASC 740 for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for the reporting period. As of December 31, 2017, Peoples partially completed the accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; however, in certain cases, Peoples made reasonable estimates of the effects of a reduced federal corporate income tax rate on its existing deferred tax balances. In other cases, Peoples has not been able to make a reasonable estimate and continued to account for those items based on its existing accounting under ASC 740, and the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In all cases, Peoples will continue to make and refine its calculations during the one-year remeasurement period as additional analysis is completed. In addition, these estimates may be affected as Peoples gains a more thorough understanding of the new tax reform legislation.

ASU 2018-02 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Peoples early adopted ASU 2018-02, reclassifying income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of $0.9 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings as of December 31, 2017.

~~Table of Contents~~

ASU 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The objective of the amendments in this ASU is to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships, and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components, and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The amendments will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (effective January 1, 2019, ~~for Peoples). Peoples~~and it will ~~adopt this new accounting guidance as required,~~be incorporated in the October 1, 2019 annual goodwill and intangible assets impairment analysis, but it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This accounting guidance replaces the current ~~“incurred loss”~~"incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an ~~“expected loss”~~"expected loss" model, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ~~(“CECL”~~("CECL") model. Under the CECL model, Peoples will be required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held-for-investment and held-to-maturity ~~debt~~investment securities, at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2018-19 clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, and should be accounted for according to Topic 842.

The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the ~~“incurred loss”~~"incurred loss" model required under current US GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Accordingly, Peoples expects that the adoption of the CECL model will materially affect how the allowance for loan losses is determined and could require significant increases to the allowance for loan losses. Moreover, the CECL model may create more volatility in the level of Peoples' allowance for loan losses. If required to materially increase the level of allowance for loan losses for any reason, such increase could adversely affect Peoples' business, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

The ~~new~~ CECL standard will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples has a committee that meets regularly to monitor progress and oversee the project. Peoples has implemented a third-party software solution, and is utilizing the tool to run test calculations throughout 2019 in anticipation of the full implementation at the beginning of 2020. Peoples has engaged consultants to assist with the completion of certain aspects of the project plan. Peoples will complete model validation during 2019, and is currently refining the economic forecasting process, documenting accounting policies, reviewing business processes and evaluating potential changes to the ~~impact that~~control environment. Peoples intends to complete a test run of its process, inclusive of the ~~CECL~~ model, ~~will have on Peoples' financial statements and~~by the end of the third quarter of 2019, pending any unforeseen circumstances or significant changes to the requirements. Peoples expects to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan loss provision, and related tax effect, as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, consistent with regulatory expectations set forth in interagency guidance issued at the end of 2016. The impact of the adoption will depend on relevant data at the adoption date, including the characteristics of the loan portfolio, macroeconomic conditions and forecasts. Peoples has not yet determined the magnitude of any such one-time ~~cumulative~~cumulative-effect adjustment or of the overall impact of the new standard on Peoples' financial condition or results of operations.

ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842): This ASU was issued to improve the financial reporting of leasing activities and provide a faithful representation of leasing transactions and improve understanding and comparability of a lessee's financial statements. Under the new accounting guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. This ASU will require both finance and operating leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. This ASU will affect all companies and organizations that lease real estate. The FASB issued an update in January 2018 (ASU 2018-01) providing an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity's adoption of Topic 842 and were not previously accounted for as leases. This ASU will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (effective January 1, 2019 for Peoples). Peoples is currently identifying the current leases and will adopt this new accounting guidance as required, and it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, Peoples measures, records and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or a non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Those assets and liabilities are presented below in the sections entitled “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis” and “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis.”

Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, Peoples uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy, ~~intended~~which is described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to ~~maximize~~ the ~~use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:~~

~~Level 1:~~ ~~Quoted prices~~Consolidated Financial Statements included in ~~active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities; also includes certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government and agency securities actively traded in over-the-counter markets.~~

~~Level 2:~~ Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; also includes

~~Table of Contents~~

derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with observable market inputs or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. This category generally includes certain U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, derivative instruments, and residential mortgage loans held for sale.

~~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; also includes observable inputs for single dealer nonbinding quotes not corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained interests from securitizations, and certain collateralized debt obligations.Peoples' 2018 Form 10‑K.

Assets and liabilities are assigned to a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities may change levels within the fair value hierarchy due to market conditions or other circumstances. Those transfers are recognized on the date of the event that prompted the transfer. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Available-for-Sale Investment ~~Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity:~~Securities: The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2).

~~Table of Contents~~

Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Equity Investment Securities: The fair values of Peoples' equity investment securities are obtained from quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).

Derivative Assets and Liabilities: Derivative assets and liabilities are recognized inon the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value within other ~~assets/liabilities.~~assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively. The fair value for derivative instruments is determined based on market prices, broker-dealer quotations on similar products, or other related input parameters (Level 2).

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for each class of assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are measured and reported at fair value when the amounts to be received are less than the carrying value of the loans. One of the allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment is estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Management’s determination of the fair value for these loans uses a market approach representing the estimated net proceeds to be received from the sale of the collateral based on observable market prices or the market value provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers (Level 3), less estimated selling costs. At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, impaired loans ~~had~~with an aggregate ~~outstanding~~ principal balance of ~~$33.7~~$43.2 million were outstanding and reported at fair value of $33.0 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples recognized ~~a reduction~~an increase of $223,000 and $830,000 in the specific reserve on impaired loans, through the allowance for loan ~~losses, of $12,000 and $17,000, respectively.~~

~~Loans Held for Sale:~~Loans originated and intended to be sold in the secondary market, generally one-to-four family residential loans, are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The use of a valuation model using quoted prices of similar instruments are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value (Level 3).losses.

Other Real Estate Owned: ~~Other real estate owned ("OREO"),~~OREO, included in ~~Other~~other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is comprised primarily of commercial and residential real estate properties acquired by Peoples in satisfaction of a loan. OREO obtained in satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated ~~selling costs.~~costs to sell the property. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available (Level 3).

(b) Included in other intangible assets on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or market value.

For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, demand and other non-maturity deposits, and overnight borrowings. Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from other banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. The carrying amount for cash and due from banks is a reasonable estimate of fair value. (Level 1).

Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities:The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Other Investment Securities: Certain restricted equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values and for which Peoples does not exercise significant influence, are carried at cost. These cost method securities are reported as Other investment securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist primarily of shares of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (the “FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (the "FRB"). Other investment securities are measured at their respective redemption values due to restrictions placed on their transferability (Level 2).

Net Loans:The fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity. Peoples considered interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans (Level 3). Fair values for loans are

Table of Contents

estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans with similar terms, the credit risk associated with the loan and other market factors, including liquidity.

Loans Held for Sale:Loans originated and intended to be sold in the secondary market, generally 1-4 family residential loans, are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The use of a valuation model using quoted prices of similar instruments are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value (Level 2).

Bank Owned Life Insurance: Peoples' bank owned life insurance policies are recorded at their cash surrender value (Level 3). Peoples recognizes tax-exempt income from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.

~~Bank Premises and Equipment:~~ Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets owned. Major improvements to leased facilities are capitalized and included in bank premises at cost less accumulated

~~Table of Contents~~

~~depreciation, which is calculated on the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining term of the leased facility or the estimated economic life of the improvement (Level 3).~~

Servicing Rights ~~("SRs")~~: SRs are recorded at fair value at the time of the sale of the loans to the third-party investor. Peoples follows the amortization method for the subsequent measurement of each class of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. Under the amortization method, Peoples amortizes the value of servicing assets or liabilities in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss, and assesses servicing assets or liabilities for impairment or increased obligation based on the fair value at each reporting date. The fair value of the ~~SRs~~servicing rights is determined by using a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the present value of the future net cash flows of the servicing portfolio based on various factors, such as servicing costs, expected prepayment speeds and discount rates (Level 3).

Deposits: The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit ("CDs") is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities (Level 2).

Short-term Borrowings: The fair value of short-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2).

Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2).

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These financial assets and liabilities include the following: customer relationships, deposit base, banking center networks, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value that are not included in the above information. Accordingly, the above fair values are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Management systematically evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, management concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired since Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017~~2018 were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased.

At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, approximately 99% of the mortgage-backed securities with a market value that had been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining 1%, or ~~four~~two positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. ~~Two~~Both of ~~the four~~these positions had a fair value of less than 90% of their book value, with an aggregate book and fair value of ~~$0.2 million~~$211,000 and ~~$0.1 million,~~$147,000, respectively. Management analyzed the underlying credit quality of these securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low remaining number of loans ~~remaining in~~underlying these securities.

respectively. Net realized gains on sales of equity investment securities, included in other non-interest income during the first six months of 2019, consisted of a realized gain of $787,000 related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock, which had been held at a carrying cost and fair value of zero due to the litigation liability associated with the stock.

At June 30, ~~2018, there~~2019, Peoples' investment in equity investment securities was comprised largely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. There were no equity investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of Peoples' stockholders' equity.

Pledged Securities

Peoples had pledged available-for-sale investment securities with carrying values of ~~$528.6~~$499.5 million and ~~$522.7~~$430.0 million at June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, and held-to-maturity investment securities with carrying values of ~~$17.2~~$14.6 million and ~~$18.3~~$16.9 million at June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, to secure public and trust department deposits, and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements.

Note 4 Loans

Peoples' loan portfolio consists of various types of loans originated primarily as a result of lending opportunities within Peoples' primary market areas of northeastern, central, southwestern and southeastern Ohio, west central West Virginia, and ~~northeastern~~central and eastern Kentucky. Acquired loans consist of loans purchased in 2012 or thereafter. Loans that were acquired and subsequently re-underwritten are reported as originated upon execution of such credit actions (for example, renewals and increases in lines of credit). The major classifications of loan balances (in each case, net of deferred fees and costs) excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:

The fair value of newly acquired loans is determined at the time of acquisition and Peoples completes annual re-estimations of cash flows on acquired purchased credit impaired loans in August of each year. At the end of each quarter, Peoples evaluates factors to determine if a material change has occurred in acquired purchased credit impaired loans, ~~accounted for~~ and if a re-estimation is needed. Factors evaluated to determine if a re-estimation is needed include changes in: risk ratings, maturity dates, charge-offs, payoffs, nonaccrual status, ~~and~~ loans that have become past ~~due. Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans~~due and ~~could change the amount of interest income, and possibly the amount of principal, expected to be collected. In reforecasting future estimated~~actual cash flows ~~credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary.~~compared to the projected cash flows from the last re-estimation. Peoples evaluates these changes quarterly and compares the ~~new estimated cash flows~~current status or activity to those at the previous cash flow re-estimation date, and the related materiality of the changes. As of June 30, 2019, these changes, ~~and~~ when compared to the total loan portfolio and the ~~differences in estimated cash flows~~factors at the ~~most recent cash flow re-estimate date compared to the previous cash flow re-estimate~~last re-estimation date, would not have a material impact on amounts recorded since the last re-estimation. Peoples completed a re-estimation of cash flows on purchased credit impaired loans in August 2018.

Cash flows expected to be collected on purchased credit impaired loans are estimated by incorporating several key assumptions, similar to the initial estimate of fair value. These key assumptions include probability of default and the amount of actual prepayments after the acquisition date. Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans and could change the amount of interest income and possibly the principal expected to be collected. In re-forecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary.

Pledged Loans

Peoples pledges certain loans secured by 1-4 family and multifamily residential mortgages under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the ~~FHLB.~~FHLB of Cincinnati. The amount of ~~such~~loans pledged ~~loans~~under this blanket collateral agreement totaled ~~$585.6~~$488.4 million and $~~487.2~~505.7 million at June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017~~2018, respectively. Peoples also pledges commercial loans to secure borrowings with the ~~FRB.~~FRB of Cleveland. The outstanding balances of these loans totaled ~~$69.8~~$153.0 million and $~~74.0~~180.9 million at June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017~~2018, respectively.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.

The recorded investments in loans on nonaccrual status and loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing were as follows:

During the first six months of 2018, Peoples' delinquency trends improved compared to the balances at December 31, 2017, as total loans past due declined in both the originated and acquired loan portfolios. Delinquency trends ~~improved during the second quarter~~remained stable, as ~~approximately~~ 99.0% of Peoples' portfolio was considered “current” at June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to ~~98.8%~~98.5% at ~~March~~December 31, ~~2018 and 98.9% at June 30, 2017.~~2018.

Credit Quality Indicators

As discussed in ~~Note~~"Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' ~~2017~~2018 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples is as follows:

“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.

“Special Mention” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned.” Loans in this risk category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on a secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.

“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of ~~current existing~~

current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, classification of the loan as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean a loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses are taken induring the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.

Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being “not rated.”

The following table summarizes the risk category of loans within Peoples' loan portfolio based upon the most recent analysis performed:

In the first six months of ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples' classified loans, which are loans categorized as substandard or doubtful, increased compared to the balances at December 31, ~~2017~~2018 mostly due to downgrades during the period combined with loans acquired ~~ASB Financial Corp. ("ASB") loans,~~in the First Prestonsburg merger, which were partially offset by paydowns on classified loans. At June 30, 2019, criticized loans, which are those categorized as special mention, substandard or doubtful, declined compared to the balance at December 31, 2018, largely due to the upgrade of two commercial relationships, partially offset by loans acquired in the First Prestonsburg merger.

At June 30, 2019, Peoples had a total of $2.2 million of loans secured by residential real estate mortgages that were in the process of foreclosure.

Peoples' impaired loans shown in the table above included loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs").

In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (i) the borrower is currently in payment default on any of the borrower's debt; (ii) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (iii) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (iv) the borrower's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

Peoples considers all aspects of the modification to loan terms to determine whether ~~or not~~ a concession has been granted to the borrower. Key factors considered by Peoples include the borrower's ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics, the significance of the modification relative to the unpaid principal balance or collateral value of the debt, and the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the original contractual terms of the loan. The most common concessions granted by Peoples generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the loan, such as (i) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the loan, (ii) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new loans with similar risk, (iii) a temporary period of interest-only payments, and (iv) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses for Acquired Loans

Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date with no valuation allowance, and monitored for changes in credit quality and subsequent increases or decreases in expected cash flows. Decreases in expected cash flows of acquired purchased credit impaired loans are recognized as an impairment, with the amount of the expected loss included in management's evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. The methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for loan losses for ~~nonimpaired~~non-impaired acquired loans are similar to those utilized for originated loans; however, Peoples records a provision for loan losses only when the computed allowance exceeds the remaining fair value adjustment.

The following table presents activity in the allowance for loan losses for acquired ~~loans for the three and six months ended June 30:~~loans:

Peoples continually evaluates its overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment. During the first six months of ~~2018,~~2019, no additional borrowings were entered into, and two long-term FHLB non-amortizing advances ~~in the amount of $30.0~~totaling $20.0 million were reclassified to short-term borrowings as the maturity became less than one year.

As of June 30, ~~2018, Peoples'~~2019, Peoples had one remaining FHLB putable option-based advance. The FHLB has the option, at its sole discretion, to terminate the advance after the initial fixed rate period of three months, requiring full repayment of the advance by Peoples prior to the stated maturity. If the advance is terminated prior to maturity, the FHLB will offer Peoples replacement funding at the then-prevailing rate on an advance product then offered by the FHLB, subject to normal FHLB credit and collateral requirements. Peoples is required to make quarterly interest payments.

The amortizing, fixed-rate FHLB advances have a fixed rate for the term of each advance, with maturities ranging from ~~two~~eight to thirteen years. These advances require monthly principal and interest payments, with some having a constant prepayment rate requiring an additional principal payment annually. These advances are not eligible for optional prepayment prior to maturity.

Peoples maintains a multi-year unsecured $15.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Raymond James Bank, N.A. that matures on March 4, 2019. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used: (i) to make acquisitions; (ii) to make stock repurchases; (iii) for working capital needs; and (iv) for other general corporate purposes. Each loan under the Credit Facility will bear interest per annum at a rate equal to 3.00% plus the one-month LIBOR rate, which rate will reset monthly. As of June 30, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. Additional information regarding the Credit Facility can be found can be found later in Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2017 Form 10-K.

Note 7 Employee Benefit Plans

Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010. The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation during the years 2003 through 2009, plus accrued interest. Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants. Effective March 1, 2011, the accrual of pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Effective July 1, 2013, a participant in the pension plan who is employed by Peoples may elect to receive or to commence receiving such person's retirement benefits as of the later of such person's normal retirement date or the first day of the month first following the date such person makes an election to receive his or her retirement benefits.

Peoples also provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to certain former employees and directors. Only those individuals who retired before January 27, 2012 were eligible for life insurance benefits. As of January 1, 2011, all retirees who desire to participate in the Peoples Bank medical plan do so by electing COBRA, which provides up to 18 months of coverage; retirees over the age of 65 also have the option to pay to participate in a group Medicare supplemental plan. Peoples only pays 100% of the cost for those individuals who retired before January 1, 1993. For all others, the retiree is responsible for most, if not all, of the cost of the health benefits. Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the ~~health~~ benefits as they arise.

Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments ~~with Off-Balance Sheet Risk~~

Peoples utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities - Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

Peoples is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Peoples principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Peoples manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities, and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, Peoples enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known or expected cash amounts, the ~~value~~values of which are determined by interest rates. Peoples’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of Peoples' known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate borrowings. Peoples also has interest rate derivatives that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in Peoples' assets or liabilities. Peoples manages a matched book with respect to customer-related derivative financial instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

~~Fair Values of Derivative Instruments on the Balance Sheet~~

Peoples' fair value of the derivative financial instruments was $8.4 million in an asset position and $5.1 million in a liability position at June 30, 2018, and there was $4.6 million in an asset position and $3.2 million in a liability position at December 31, 2017. The amounts are recorded in Other assets, and Accrued expenses and Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the periods indicated.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Peoples' objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense, and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples had ~~ten~~entered into fifteen interest rate ~~swaps, which included three interest rate swaps acquired~~swap contracts with ~~the ASB acquisition, for~~ an aggregate notional value of ~~$67.0 million associated with~~$140.0 million. Peoples will pay a fixed rate of interest for up to ten years while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate. The interest received on the floating rate component is intended to offset the interest paid on rolling three-month FHLB advances or rolling three-month brokered certificates of deposit, which will continue to be rolled through the life of the swaps. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income or expense as interest payments are made or received on Peoples' ~~cash outflows for various FHLB advances. The $7.0 million increase in notional value~~variable-rate assets or liabilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, Peoples had reclassifications of gains to interest expense of $70,000 and $153,000, respectively, and during the ~~second quarter~~three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Peoples had reclassifications of ~~2018 was due~~gains to ~~the~~ interest ~~rate swaps acquired from the ASB acquisition. All three~~expense of ~~the acquired swaps matured in July 2018.~~$28,000 and $16,000, respectively.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of each derivative is reported in ~~accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL")~~AOCI (outside of earnings), net of tax, and subsequently reclassified to

~~Table of Contents~~

earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. Peoples assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transaction. TheThe reset dates and the payment dates on the 90-day advances or brokered certificates of deposit used to fund the swaps are matched to the reset dates and payment dates on the receipt of the 3-month LIBOR floating portion of the swaps to ensure effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. Effectiveness is measured by ensuring that reset dates and payment dates are matched.

Peoples entered into seven interest rate swap contracts and acquired three with the ASB acquisition. All three of the acquired interest rate swaps matured in July of 2018. For the remaining seven interest rate swaps, as described above, Peoples will pay a fixed rate of interest for up to ten years while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate. The received floating rate component is intended to offset the rate on the rolling three-month FHLB advances. Amounts reported in AOCL related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income or expense as interest payments are made or received on Peoples' variable-rate assets or liabilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017, Peoples had no reclassifications to interest expense. During the next twelve months, Peoples estimates that no interest expense amount will be reclassified. During 2018, two of the remaining seven swaps became effective in January, with an additional two swaps becoming effective in April. Of the three remaining swaps, one became effective in July 2018 and two will become effective in October 2018. These dates roughly coincide with the maturity of existing FHLB advances.

The amount of ~~accumulated other comprehensive~~ pre-tax ~~income~~AOCI for Peoples' cash flow hedges was ~~$3.3~~$3.9 million at June 30, ~~2018. There were no pre-tax~~2019.

Non-Designated Hedges

Peoples maintains an interest rate protection program for commercial loan customers, which was established in 2010. Under this program, Peoples ~~provides its customer~~originates variable rate loans with ~~a fixed-rate loan while creating a variable-rate asset for Peoples by~~interest rate swaps, where the customer ~~entering~~enters into an interest rate swap with Peoples on terms that match the terms of the loan. By entering into the interest rate swap with the customer, Peoples Bank effectively provides the customer with a fixed rate loan while creating a variable rate asset for Peoples Bank. Peoples Bank offsets its ~~risk~~ exposure in the swap by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution. These interest rate swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each swap is accounted for as a standalone derivative. Peoples had interest rate swaps associated with commercial loans with a gross notional value of ~~$388.9~~$492.0 million and fair value of ~~$5.1~~$9.7 million of equally offsetting assets and liabilities at June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, and a gross notional value of ~~$363.3~~$453.4 million and fair value of ~~$3.0~~$2.5 million of equally offsetting assets and liabilities at December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. These interest rate swaps did not have a material impact on Peoples' results of operation or financial condition.

Note 10 Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the "2006 Equity Plan"), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted common stock awards, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), performance units and unrestricted common share awards to employees and non-employee directors. The total number of common shares ~~currently~~ available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 891,340. The maximum number of common shares that can be issued for incentive stock options is 500,000 common shares. Prior to 2007, Peoples granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors under the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor plans. Since February 2009, Peoples has granted restricted common shares to employees, and ~~restricted common shares~~periodically to non-employee directors, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. InAdditionally, in 2018 and 2019, the Board of Directors granted unrestricted common shares to non-employee directors and to all full-time and part-time employees who did not already participate in the ~~equity plans.~~2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available. If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.

~~Stock Appreciation Rights~~

SARs granted to employees have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Peoples’ common shares on the date of grant and will be settled using common shares of Peoples. Additionally, the SARs granted to employees vested ~~three years~~ ~~after the respective grant dates and expired~~ ~~ten years~~ ~~from the respective date of grant.

~~Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested awards was $2.7 million~~ at ~~June 30, 2018~~, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. On January 31, 2018, Peoples granted, to non-employee directors, an aggregate of 3,600 unrestricted common shares, which resulted in an additional $128,000 of stock-based compensation expense being recognized. On February 14, 2018, the Board of Directors granted an aggregate of11,112 unrestricted common shares to all full-time and part-time employees who did not already participate in the equity plans, which resulted in an additional $388,000 of stock-based compensation expense being recognized.2018.

Performance Unit ~~Award Agreement~~Awards

Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may ~~award~~grant performance unit awards to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. On July 26, 2017, Peoples granted a total of seven performance unit awards to individuals who were then serving as officers, with a maximum aggregate dollar amount of $1.3 million represented by the performance units subject to such awards ~~with~~and each performance unit representing $1.00. As of June 30, 2019, one of seven performance unit awards had been forfeited as one of the individuals granted a performance unit award left Peoples before meeting the minimum service requirement to retain the performance unit award. The performance unit awards granted ~~are for~~cover the performance period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2019, and ~~will be~~are subject to two performance goals. Twenty-five percent of the performance units subject to each award will vest if, but only if, the related company-specific target performance goal is achieved. The remaining 75% of the performance units subject to each award will vest based on the relative performance of Peoples compared to a defined peer group (measured by percentile ranking) with respect to the related maximum performance goal. If, for the performance period, the target level of achievement for the first performance goal and/or the maximum level of achievement for the second performance goal is not reached, the dollar amount represented by the performance units associated with each performance goal will be adjusted to reflect the level of performance achieved. After the vesting date, the participant will receive that number of common shares of Peoples equal to (i) the aggregate number of

the participant's performance units (and equivalent dollar value of such performance units) that vested based on the performance achieved under both performance goals (ii) divided by the fair market value of a common share of Peoples on the date the performance units are deemed to have vested (which will be the last day of ~~such vesting~~the performance period) and rounded down to the nearest whole common share.

Stock-Based Compensation

~~Note 11 Revenue~~

AsPeoples recognizes stock-based compensation, which is included as a component of ~~January 1, 2018, Peoples adopted ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),~~Peoples’ salaries and all subsequent updates that modified ASC 606. Peoples elected to adopt this new accounting guidance using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach uses a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to reflect uncompleted contractsemployee benefit costs, for restricted common shares and performance unit awards, as well as purchases made by participants in the ~~initial application~~employee stock purchase plan. For restricted common shares, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation based on the estimated fair value of the ~~guidance. As~~awards on the grant date, for the portion of ~~January 1,~~awards that is expected to vest over the vesting period. For performance unit awards, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation over the performance period, based on the portion of the awards that is expected to vest based on the expected level of achievement of the two performance goals. Peoples also has an employee stock purchase plan whereby employees can purchase Peoples' common shares at a discount of up to 15%. The following table summarizes the amount of stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefit recognized for each period:



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	930		$	424		$	2,138		$	1,510
Recognized tax benefit	(195		)	(89		)	(449		)	(317		)
Net expense recognized	$	735		$	335		$	1,689		$	1,193

Restricted common shares were the primary form of stock-based compensation awards granted by Peoples in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The fair value of restricted common share awards on the grant date is the market price of Peoples' common shares. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested awards was $3.6 million at June 30, 2019, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. On February 14, 2018, an aggregate of 11,112 unrestricted common shares were granted as a one-time special award to all full-time and part-time employees who did not already participate in the 2006 Equity Plan, with a related stock-based compensation expense of $388,000 being recognized. On June 3, 2019, an aggregate of 880 unrestricted common shares were granted as a one-time special award to all full-time and part-time First Prestonsburg employees, with a related stock-based compensation expense of $27,000 being recognized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, Peoples recorded $11,000 and $50,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation associated with the performance unit awards and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 recorded $81,000 and $125,000, respectively. Additionally, Peoples recognized $16,000 and $32,000 of stock-based compensation associated with the employee stock purchase plan, based on purchases by employees thereunder, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $14,000 and $28,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Unrestricted common shares awarded to non-employee directors are included as a ~~cumulative-effect adjustment for uncompleted contracts,~~component of Peoples' other non-interest expense. On January 31, 2019, Peoples granted, to non-employee directors, an aggregate of 3,200 unrestricted common shares, which resulted in ~~a reduction~~an additional $102,000 of stock-based compensation expense being recognized. On January 31, 2018, Peoples granted, to ~~retained earnings and~~non-employee directors, an ~~increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities~~aggregate of ~~$3.1 million,~~3,600 unrestricted common shares, which is net of federal income taxes. The impact during the second quarter of 2018 was a decrease in insurance income and an increase in retained earnings of $346,000 as a result of applying ASC 606. During the first six months of 2018, the impact of ASC 606 resulted in an ~~increase in insurance income and a decrease in retained earnings~~additional $128,000 of ~~$45,000. Prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those respective periods.~~

Peoples recognizes revenues as they are earned based on contractual terms, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. Estimates of variable consideration are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, once the uncertainty is resolved. Peoples recognizes revenue from contracts with customers under the following revenue streams:

~~Insurance Income:~~ ~~Insurance income generally consists of commissions and fees from the sale of insurance policies, third-party administration services and performance-based commissions from insurance companies.~~

Peoples recognizes commission income from the sale of insurance policies when it acts as an agent between the insurance carrier and policyholder, arranging for the insurance carrier to provide policies to policyholders, and acts on behalf of the insurance carrier by providing customer service to the policyholders during the respective policy periods. Commission income is recognized over time, using the output method of time elapsed, which corresponds with the underlying insurance policy period, for which Peoples is obligated to perform under contract with the insurance carrier. Commission income is variable, as it is comprised of a certain percentage of the underlying policy premium. Peoples estimates the variable consideration based upon the "most likely amount" method, and does not expect or anticipate a significant reversal of revenue in future periods, based upon historical experience. Payment is due from the insurance carrier for commission income once the insurance policy has been sold. Peoples has elected to apply a practical expedient related to capitalizable costs, which are the commissions paid to insurance producers, and willstock-based compensation expense these commissions paid to insurance producers as incurred, as these costs are related to the commission income and would have been amortized within one year or less if they had been capitalized, the same period over which the commission income was earned.

Fees related to third-party administration services performed are recognized over time, in the period in which services have been provided, and are recognized monthly in the month the services were performed.

~~Performance-based commissions from insurance companies are recognized at a point in time, when received, and no contingencies remain.~~

~~Trust and Investment Income:~~ Trust and investment income consists of revenue from fiduciary and brokerage activities, which includes fees for services such as asset management, record keeping, retirement services and estate management, and investment commissions and fees related to the sale of investments. Trust and investment income is recognized over time which reflects the duration of the contract period for which services have been provided. Trust and investment income is variable as it is based on the value of assets under administration and management, and specific transactions. Peoples estimates the variable consideration based upon the most likely amount method, and does not expect or anticipate a significant reversal of revenue in future periods. Payment is due from the customer when billed, which is typically a monthly or quarterly billing for services rendered in the most recent period, for which the performance obligation has been satisfied. Peoples has elected to apply a practical expedient of right to invoice when recognizing trust and investment income, as Peoples has fulfilled the performance obligation, the customer has consumed the service, and Peoples has a right to the related income. Peoples has also elected to apply a practical expedient related to capitalizable costs, which are the commissions paid to financial advisors, and will expense these commissions paid to financial advisors as incurred, as these costs are related to the trust and investment income and would have been amortized within one year or less if they had been capitalized, the same period over which the income was earned.

~~Electronic Banking Income:~~ ~~Electronic banking income consists of two revenue streams related to interchange income and promotional and usage income.~~

~~Peoples recognizes interchange income over time, on a monthly basis, which is based on the transactional volume of debit card activity completed by its customers during the month in which income is~~being recognized. Peoples is obligated to certain debit card activity being performed by its customers over a certain period of time. Interchange income is variable as it is based on the transaction volume of debit card activity completed by Peoples' customers. Peoples estimates the variable consideration based upon the most likely amount method, and does not expect or anticipate a significant reversal of revenue in future periods. Payment is due from the vendor within one month of the completed customer debit card activity. Peoples has elected to apply a practical expedient of right to invoice when recognizing interchange income, as Peoples has fulfilled the required performance obligations, the vendor has consumed the service, and Peoples has a right to the related income.

Peoples also recognizes promotional and usage income over time, on a monthly basis, which is related to branding of debit cards and promotion or use of certain services provided by third-party vendors. Peoples is obligated to brand its debit cards in a certain manner, and promote and use services provided by third-party vendors. Promotional and usage income is variable as it is based on certain metrics achieved for promotion and usage of services provided by the third-party vendors. Peoples estimates the variable consideration based upon the most likely amount method, and does not expect or anticipate a significant reversal of revenue in future periods. Payment is due from the third-party vendors within 45 days of the monthly fulfillment of Peoples' performance obligation. Peoples has elected to apply a practical expedient of right to invoice when recognizing promotional and usage income, as Peoples has fulfilled the required performance obligations, the vendor has consumed the service, and Peoples has a right to the related income.

~~Deposit Account Service Charges:~~ ~~Deposit account service charges consist of two revenue streams related to ongoing maintenance fees for deposit accounts and certain transactional-based fees.~~

Ongoing maintenance fees are recognized on a monthly basis, generally with the monthly period beginning on the day of the month on which the account was opened. Ongoing maintenance fee income is variable as these fees can be reduced if a customer meets certain qualifying metrics. Peoples estimates the variable consideration based upon the most likely amount method, and does not expect or anticipate a significant reversal of revenue in future periods. For accounts that are assessed maintenance fees through the account analysis process, payment is due from the customer within one month of the monthly period in which the account was open. For all other accounts, monthly maintenance fees are assessed to the account on the last day of the monthly period. Peoples has elected to apply a practical expedient of right to invoice when recognizing ongoing maintenance fees for deposit accounts, as Peoples has fulfilled the required performance obligations, the customer has consumed the service, and Peoples has a right to the related income.

Transactional-based deposit account fees are recognized at a point in time, which is at the completion of the relevant transaction. Peoples is obligated to perform certain transactions as requested by its consumer and business deposit account customers, which are outside of the normal maintenance requirements. Transactional-based deposit

Table of Contents

account fee income is variable as these fees are directly related to a service request from the customer. Peoples estimates the variable consideration based upon the most likely amount method, and does not expect or anticipate a significant reversal of revenue in future periods. Payment is due from the customer at the time of completion of the requested transaction.Note 11 Revenue

~~Commercial Loan Swap Fees:~~ Commercial loan swap fees consist of income related to transactions in which Peoples acts as an agent between a third-party vendor and certain Peoples commercial loan customers for which an interest rate swap occurs. Commercial loan swap fees are recognized at a point in time, when the transaction has been completed, and there is no recourse or further performance obligation required of Peoples. Commercial loan swap fee income is variable as these fees are a certain percentage of the total swap fee collected on a completed transaction. Peoples estimates the variable consideration based upon the most likely amount method, and does not expect or anticipate a significant reversal of revenue in future periods. Payment is due from the customer at the time of completion of the requested transaction.

~~Other Non-Interest Income:~~ Other non-interest income includes certain revenues that are transactional-based, such as wire transfer fees, money order fees and other ancillary fees or services. These transactional-based fees are recognized as income at a point in time, at the completion of the relevant transaction. Transactional-based other non-interest income is variable as these fees are directly related to a service request from the customer. Peoples estimates the variable consideration based upon the most likely amount method, and does not expect or anticipate a significant reversal of revenue in future periods. Payment is due from the customer at the time of completion of the requested transaction.

time for fulfillment of performance obligations, but has not yet been received related to electronic banking income. This income typically relates to bonuses for which Peoples is eligible, but will not receive until a certain time in the future. Peoples records contract liabilities for payments received for commission income related to the sale of insurance policies, for which the performance obligations have not yet been fulfilled. The contract liabilities are recognized as income over time, during the period in which the performance obligations are fulfilled, which is over the insurance policy period.

Note 12 Acquisitions

On April ~~13, 2018,~~12, 2019, Peoples completed ~~its acquisition of ASB for total consideration of $41.5 million, which reflected~~ the ~~conversion of each of the 1,979,034 outstanding ASB common shares into $20.00 in cash or 0.592 in Peoples' common shares. ASB~~merger with First Prestonsburg Bancshares Inc. ("First Prestonsburg").

("First Commonwealth"), which operates ~~six~~nine full-service branches located in ~~southern Ohio~~eastern and ~~northern~~central Kentucky, merged into Peoples Bank. Consideration of $32.4 million was paid by Peoples in the form of 12.512 common shares of Peoples stock to shareholders of First Prestonsburg for each share of First Prestonsburg common stock they owned, which resulted in the issuance of 1,005,478 common shares of Peoples stock. In addition, immediately prior to the closing of the merger, First Prestonsburg paid a special cash distribution of $140.30 per share (for an aggregate amount of $11.3 million) which was deemed part of the purchase price to its shareholders. As a result, First Prestonsburg shareholders received a total purchase price of $43.7 million.

At June 30, 2019, Peoples did not have any finance leases or any significant lessor agreements.

Peoples elected certain practical expedients, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842. Peoples elected to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019 for the implementation of ASU 2016-02. Peoples also made an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases subject to ASC 842.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Peoples recorded net income of ~~$7.9~~$9.6 million for the second quarter of ~~2018,~~2019, representing earnings per diluted common share of ~~$0.41,~~$0.46, compared to ~~$11.7~~$14.4 million, or ~~$0.64~~$0.73 per diluted common share, infor the first quarter of ~~2018,~~2019, and ~~$9.8~~$7.9 million, or ~~$0.53~~$0.41 per diluted share, infor the second quarter of ~~2017.~~2018. During the second quarter of 2019, earnings per diluted common share were negatively impacted by $0.28 per share for acquisition-related costs. During the first quarter of 2019, earnings per diluted common share were positively impacted by $0.07 per share for the recovery on a previously charged-off commercial loan and by $0.03 per share for income related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock, partially offset by the negative impact of $0.01 per share for acquisition-related costs. During the second quarter of 2018, earnings per diluted common share were negatively impacted by $0.25 per share in acquisition-related costs, and were positively impacted by $0.04 per share due to the release of a tax valuation allowance.

During the first six months of ~~2018,~~2019, net income was $24.0 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared to $19.6 million, or $1.04 per diluted ~~share, compared to $18.6 million, or $1.02 per diluted~~common share, for the same period in ~~2017.~~2018. The increased earnings were primarily due to increases in net interest income, ~~trust~~deposit account service charges, and ~~investment income, mortgage~~electronic banking ~~income, and other non-interest~~ income, which were partially offset by increased salaries and employee benefit costs, ~~professional fees~~ and other ~~fees related to acquisition-related costs~~non-interest expenses, which were ~~primarily related to fees associated with early termination of contracts,~~impacted by the First Prestonsburg and ASB mergers, in ~~2018~~2019 compared to ~~2017.~~

~~Net interest income was $32.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $29.4 million in the first quarter of 2018~~2018. Acquisition-related costs negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by $0.29 and $28.1 million in the second quarter of 2017. Net interest margin was 3.74% during the second quarter of 2018, an increase from 3.66% in the first quarter of 2018 and 3.62% in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in net interest margin compared to both prior periods was due primarily to loan growth, both organic and acquired. For the first six months of 2018, net interest income was $62.2 million, and net interest margin was 3.70% compared to $55.0 million and 3.58%, respectively, during the same period in 2017. Loan growth, coupled with higher loan yields as a result of rising interest rates and relatively low deposit costs, has improved net interest income and margin$0.27 during the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net interest income increased to $36.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, up 6% compared to ~~2017. Peoples also recognized proceeds~~$33.9 million for the first quarter of ~~$248,000~~2019, and increased by 10% compared to $32.8 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net interest margin was 3.77% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 3.80% for the first quarter of 2019, and 3.74% for the second quarter of 2018. The slight decline in net interest margin during the quarter was driven by higher costs for time deposits and governmental deposits, which more than offset increased loan yields, driven by the First Prestonsburg merger. Compared to the first quarter of 2019, net interest income was positively impacted by the merger of First Prestonsburg. The increase in net interest income compared to the second quarter of 2018 was driven by higher yields on ~~an investment security that had previously been written down~~loans combined with the impact of First Prestonsburg earning assets. These were partially offset by higher deposit costs due to ~~an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"), compared~~increased competition for deposits, combined with additional interest expense related to ~~$341,000 in~~ the ~~first quarter of 2018 and $203,000 during~~acquired First Prestonsburg deposits.

For the second quarter of ~~2017. Accretion~~2019, accretion income from acquisitions, net of amortization expense, was $1.2 million, compared to $722,000 for the first quarter of 2019 and $523,000 infor the second quarter of 2018, which added 13 basis points, 8 basis points, and 6 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The growth in net accretion income compared to ~~$566,000 in~~ the first quarter of ~~2018~~2019 and ~~$735,000 in~~ the second quarter of 2017. Accretion income added 6 basis points to net interest margin during the second quarter of 2018, compared to 7 basis points in the first quarter of 2018 and 10 basis points in the second quarter of 2017. For the first six months of 2018, accretion income, net of amortization expense, was $1.1 million, and added 6 basis points to net interest margin, compared to $1.6 million, and 10 basis points, in 2017.

During the second quarter of 2018, provision for loan losses was $1.2 million, compared to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $947,000 in the second quarter of 2017. The decline in provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2018 was due to the ~~charge-off~~First Prestonsburg merger, specifically the loan discount that was accreted during the quarter.

For the first six months of 2019, net interest income was $70.0 million, and net interest margin was 3.78%, compared to $62.2 million and 3.70%, respectively, during the same period in 2018. The increases were driven by higher interest income on loans due to a ~~single acquired~~combination of loan growth, which was primarily the result of the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions, and higher yields from interest rate increases. The interest income from higher average loan balances outpaced interest expense from deposits, which increased due to the recent acquisitions and increased competition for deposits. The first six months of 2018 benefited from proceeds of $589,000 received on investment securities that had been previously written down due to other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"), which added 3 basis points to net interest margin.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $1.9 million for the first six months of 2019 and $1.1 million for the first six months of 2018, which added 10 basis points and 6 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The growth in net accretion income compared to the first six months of 2018 was largely due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

During the first quarter of 2019, Peoples recorded a provision for loan losses of $626,000, compared to a recovery of loan losses of $263,000 for the first quarter of 2019 and a provision for loan losses of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2019 were $208,000, or 0.03% of average total loans, compared to net recoveries of $1.0 million, or 0.15% of average total loans, for the linked quarter and net charge-offs of $720,000, or 0.11% of average total loans, for the second quarter of 2018. Net recoveries during the first quarter of 2019 were driven by a $1.8 million recovery recorded on a previously charged-off commercial loan. Given the low net charge-offs in the current quarter, combined with originated loan ~~relationship impacting~~balances remaining stable during the second quarter of 2019, the provision for loan losses during each of the ~~first~~current and linked quarter ~~of 2018. The higher provision for loan losses recorded during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017~~ was ~~due to loan growth, which was partially offset by the impact of improved asset quality metrics.~~lower than historical trends. Provision for loan losses during the first six months of ~~2018~~2019 was ~~$3.2 million~~$363,000, compared to ~~$1.6~~$3.2 million for the ~~same period in 2017.~~first six months of 2018. Net recoveries for the first six months of 2019 were $799,000, compared to net charge-offs of $2.7 million for the first six months of 2018. The ~~increase was partially due to~~first six months of 2019 included the $1.8 million recovery recorded on a previously charged-off commercial loan.

For the second quarter of ~~2018,~~2019, total non-interest income declined ~~11%~~$140,000, or 1%, compared to the first quarter of 2019 and was up $2.0 million, or 15%, from the second quarter of 2018. The ~~reduction~~first quarter of 2019 included $1.4 million of annual performance-based insurance commissions, which are primarily received in the first quarter each year. Additionally, other non-interest income in the first quarter of 2019 included $787,000 of income related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock. During the second quarter of 2019, these two items were largely offset by increases in a number of categories, including income from deposit account service charges, commercial loan swap fee income, trust and investment income, electronic banking income, and mortgage banking income. The increase in total non-interest income from the second quarter of 2018 was ~~largely due to~~driven by increases in all non-interest income categories, with the ~~performance-based~~exception of bank owned life insurance, ~~commissions that are received annually in~~which had a slight decrease.

Total non-interest expense increased $7.0 million, or 22%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of ~~2018,~~2019 and ~~was related to the mortgage origination business acquired in the ASB transaction.

For the first six months of 2018, total non-interest income grew 3%, as growth in most categories, and improvements in the market value of equity investment securities, offset reductions in commercial loan swap fee income compared to 2017.

~~Total non-interest expense grew 27% in the second quarter of 2018~~2018. The increase compared to the ~~first~~linked quarter ~~of 2018, and 35% compared to the second quarter of 2017.

During the first six months of 2019, the efficiency ratio was ~~62.0%~~68.1%, compared to 68.5% for the same period in 2018. The efficiency ratio, when adjusted for non-core items, during the first six months of 2019 was 61.2% and was 61.7% for the first six months of 2018.

~~During~~Income tax expense was $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $3.4 million for the linked quarter and $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2018. The decline in income tax expense compared to the linked quarter was due to lower pre-tax income. The current quarter included a tax benefit of $59,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the current quarter, compared to a tax benefit of $133,000 in the linked quarter. The vesting of a majority of stock awards granted by Peoples occurs annually in the first quarter. The increase in income tax expense compared to the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. For the first six months of 2019, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $5.6 million, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year increase in income tax expense was ~~reduced by~~primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

The first six months of 2018 also included an $805,000 ~~as Peoples released a~~ valuation allowance onrelease, as well as a ~~deferred~~ tax ~~asset that it had been carrying. This valuation allowance was related to a historical tax credit that Peoples invested in~~benefit of $296,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during ~~2015. The recent sales of equity investment securities, and~~ the related capital gains realized, were large enough to offset the anticipated future capital loss, which is expected to be recognized due to the structure of the historical tax credit investment, resulting in the release of the valuation allowance.period.

At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, total assets were ~~$3.97~~$4.28 billion, compared to ~~$3.58~~$3.99 billion at December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The ~~11%~~7% increase compared to December 31, ~~2017~~2018 was primarily due to the ~~ASB acquisition,~~First Prestonsburg merger, which added ~~$279.2~~$294.1 million of assets, including $130.4 million in total loans, after preliminary fair value adjustments. ~~In addition, excluding the impact~~

Table of the acquisition, period-end loan balances, net of deferred fees and costs, grew $100.5 million, or 9% annualized. Commercial loan balances increased $68.3 million, mostly driven by higher commercial real estate loans, while consumer loans grew $32.2 million, with consumer indirect lending providing most of the increase.Contents

Total liabilities were ~~$3.47~~$3.70 billion at June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, up ~~$349.7~~$226.0 million ~~or 11%,~~ since December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The increase in liabilities during the first six months of ~~2018~~2019 was primarily due to an increase in deposits of ~~$218.9~~$408.1 million, ~~while~~partially offset by a decline in borrowings ~~increased $120.3~~of $193.7 million. The growth in deposits compared to December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, was mostly due to acquired ~~ASB~~First Prestonsburg deposit balances, which totaled ~~$168.4~~$232.2 million at June 30, 2019. Retail certificates of deposit ("CDs") grew $102.9 million, of which $65.3 million was from First Prestonsburg. Governmental deposit and brokered CDs were up $64.4 million and $62.3 million, respectively, compared to December 31, 2018.

At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, total stockholders' equity was ~~$499.3~~$579.0 million, an increase of ~~$40.7~~$58.9 million, compared to December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The increase in total stockholders' equity was mostly due to the ~~$40.9~~$32.4 million of common shares issued in connection with the ~~ASB acquisition. In addition,~~First Prestonsburg merger, net income ~~earned during 2018 exceeded dividends,~~of $9.6 million and ~~was~~other comprehensive income of $7.8 million, partially offset by ~~an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.~~dividends paid of $7.0 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense, remains Peoples' largest source of revenue. The amount of net interest income earned by Peoples each quarter is affected by various factors, including changes in market interest rates due to the Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policy, the level and degree of pricing competition for both loans and deposits in Peoples’ markets, and the amount and composition of Peoples' earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Compared to the first quarter of 2018, average balances in commercial real estate loans increased $75.6 million, or 10%. Compared to the second quarter of 2017, average balances in commercial real estate loans increased $104.8 million, or 14%, while average balances in consumer indirect loans increased $66.0 million, or 22%. Compared to the first six months of 2017, average commercial real estate loan balances grew $67.9 million, or 9%, and average commercial and industrial loan balances grew $58.5 million, or 13%, while average consumer indirect loan balances grew $69.6 million, or 25%.

Net interest margin, which is calculated by dividing FTE net interest income by average interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. FTE net interest income is calculated by increasing interest income to convert tax-exempt income earned on obligations of states and political subdivisions to the pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a federal corporate income tax rate of 21% ~~for the 2018 periods and 35% for the 2017 periods.~~.

Accretion income, net ~~interest income compared to the first quarter~~ of ~~2018~~amortization expense, from acquisitions was ~~also impacted by one additional day of interest in which interest was earned during~~$1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. The decline in the taxable equivalent adjustments was a result of the change in the federal corporate income tax rate, which was 21% for the periods reported in 2018 compared to 35% for the 2017 periods. The accretion income from acquisitions, net of amortization expense, was2019 and $523,000 for the second quarter of 2018, ~~compared to $566,000 for the first quarter of 2018, and $735,000 for the second quarter of 2017,~~ which added ~~6 basis points, 7~~13 basis points and 106 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. OnThe increase in accretion income compared to the second quarter of 2018 was due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

For the first six months of 2019, net interest income grew 13% compared to 2018, and net interest margin grew 8 basis points to 3.78%. The increases were driven by higher interest income on loans due to a ~~year-to-date~~combination of loan growth, which was primarily the result of the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions, and higher yields from interest rate increases. The increase in interest income due to loan growth outpaced higher deposit costs, which were due to the recent acquisitions and increased competition for deposits. The first six months of 2018 benefited from proceeds of $589,000 received on investment securities that had been previously written down due to OTTI, which added 3 basis points to net interest margin. Peoples recorded no similar proceeds during the ~~accretion~~first six months of 2019.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions ~~added 6 basis points to net interest margin~~was $1.9 million for the first six months of 2019 and $1.1 million for the first six months of 2018, ~~compared to~~which added 10 basis points ~~for~~and 6 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The growth in accretion income compared to the first six months of ~~2017.~~2018 was largely due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

The ~~decrease~~decline in ~~property and casualty insurance commissions for the second quarter of 2018 compared~~revenue related to the first quarter of 2018 was primarily due to timing of revenue recognition attributable to the implementation of ASU 2014-09. This guidance primarily impacted recognition of insurance income and will create some volatility in insurance income on a quarterly basis going forward. The decrease in performance-based commissions ~~was largely~~is due to annual performance-based insurance commissions, which are primarily recognized in the first quarter of each ~~year.

The decline in overdrafts and non-sufficient funds fees from 2017 was partially due to changes made to the calculation of fees to be more in-line with industry practices. The increase in account maintenance fees in 2018 compared to the prior year periods was largely due to implementation of new consumer checking products that occurred during the second half of 2017. The amount of deposit account service charges, particularly fees for overdrafts and non-sufficient funds, is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. Management periodically evaluates its cost recovery fees to ensure they are reasonable based on operational costs and similar to fees charged in Peoples' markets by competitors. Income from deposit account service charges were up compared to the linked quarter, due to a combination of the additional accounts acquired from First Prestonsburg and a new deposit account fee schedule that was implemented in March 2019. Income from deposit account service charges for the first six months of 2019 were up compared to a year ago primarily due to the ASB and First Prestonsburg acquisitions, coupled with changes in fee schedules.

Mortgage banking income is comprised mostly of net gains from the origination and sale of ~~long-term, fixed-rate~~ real estate loans in the secondary market, and servicing income for loans sold ~~loans as well as~~with servicing ~~released premiums for sold loans.~~retained. As a result, the amount of income recognized by Peoples is largely dependent on customer demand and long-term interest rates for residential real estate loans offered in the secondary market. InThe increase in mortgage banking income from the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and~~of 2019 was mainly due to customer demand which is typically seasonally low in the first quarter of each year. For the first six months ~~ended June 30,~~of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, the increase in mortgage banking income was largely attributable to gains on sale of real estate loans originated by the mortgage origination operation acquired as part of the ASB acquisition.

In the second quarter of ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples sold approximately ~~$19.1~~$24.9 million in loans to the secondary market with servicing retained and sold approximately $11.4 million in loans with servicing released, compared to ~~$10.1~~approximately $13.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively, in the linked ~~quarter and $14.4~~quarter. For the first six months of 2019, Peoples sold approximately $38.6 million in loans to the ~~second quarter~~secondary market with servicing retained and sold approximately $22.3 million in loans with servicing released, compared to approximately $29.2 million and $13.6 million, respectively, in the first six months of ~~2017.~~2018. The volume of sales has a direct impact on the amount of mortgage banking income. ~~Peoples sold approximately $13.6 million in loans with servicing released premiums.~~

Commercial loan swap ~~fee income is~~fees are largely dependent on ~~the~~ timing, interest rates, and volume of customer activity. ~~Demand has decreased~~The increase in all comparisons was driven by a combination of an increase in the average size of each transaction and higher customer demand, given the current ~~year due largely~~rate environment and the favorable longer term rates that customers can lock in by utilizing a swap.

Compared to the ~~current interest rate environment.~~

~~Other~~linked quarter, other non-interest income ~~decreased $283,000 from the second quarter of 2017, and $910,000 from the linked quarter. The decreases were~~declined primarily due to ~~the implementation of a new accounting standard,~~lower income from equity investment securities, which ~~changed how the fair value of equity securities~~ was to be recognized beginning January 1, 2018, coupled with a decrease in the gain on sale of Small Business Administrations ("SBA") loans in the second quarter of 2018. The accounting change reduced non-interest income by $236,000 in the second quarter of 2018, compared to an increase of $460,000 duringdown $809,000. During the first quarter of ~~2018.~~2019, Peoples ~~sold most~~recognized $787,000 of ~~the remaining positions in equity securities during the second quarter; therefore, continued fluctuations in market value will have minimal impact on the~~ income ~~statement.

Other non-interest income for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2019 was down compared to the same period of 2018, ~~compared~~due to noa decrease in Small Business Administration income of $550,000 and declines in various other small items, partially offset by an increase in income from equity investment securities of $585,000.

The ~~increases~~increase in full-time equivalent employees in the second quarter of 2019 and the first six months of 2019 compared to previous periods was mainly due to additional employees from the First Prestonsburg acquisition and, in comparison to the 2018 periods, employees that were added in the last twelve months from acquisitions and for future growth.

The increase in base salaries and wages for the second quarter of 2019 compared to the ~~first~~linked quarter ~~of 2018 were~~was primarily due to acquisition-related expenses of ~~$1.9~~$2.2 million ~~related to~~(mainly severance and change in control ~~agreements, retention and severance bonuses. The increase was also attributable~~costs). Compared to ~~the ongoing expenses associated with the acquisition, including an increased employee count due to the addition of ASB employees in~~ the second quarter of 2018, base salaries and wages increased due to a combination of employees that have been added in the last twelve months from acquisitions and for future growth, annual merit increases, which included the implementation of a $15 per hour minimum wage throughout the company, and an increase in acquisition-related expenses of $594,000. The $15 per hour minimum wage began being phased in during 2018 and is expected to be largely implemented by January 1, 2020. For the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, ~~which resulted~~the increase was impacted by the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions, as well as the employees that have been added in ~~increased~~the last twelve months for future growth.

The decline in employee benefits for the second quarter of 2019, compared to the linked quarter, was primarily due to lower medical insurance costs of $817,000. Medical insurance costs in the linked quarter included annual contributions to employee health benefit accounts resulting in an expense ~~compared~~of $450,000. These contributions occur primarily in the first quarter of each year. Compared to the second quarter of 2018, the increase in employee benefits was driven by higher medical insurance costs due primarily to higher medical claims and ~~first six months~~the increase in the number of ~~2017.~~plan participants, which was impacted by the First Prestonsburg acquisition. The increase in employee benefits in the six-month periods comparison was impacted by the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions, and included an increase in medical insurance costs of $1.3 million.

The increase in sales-based and incentive compensation for ~~both~~the second quarter of 2019, compared to the linked quarter, was due to higher sales-based compensation from insurance, mortgage banking and retail lines of business. The increase in sales-based and incentive compensation for the second quarter of 2019, compared to the second quarter of 2018, was due to higher sales-based compensation from the mortgage banking and retail lines of business. Compared to the first six months of 2018, ~~compared to~~ the ~~2017 periods, was due to higher~~increase in sales-based and incentive compensation ~~which is tied to corporate performance for 2018. The reduction in employee benefits~~ for the first six months of ~~2018~~2019 was driven by higher sales-based compensation from mortgage banking. The increase in mortgage banking growth compared to the first six months of ~~2017~~2018 was ~~due~~largely attributable to ~~lower medical insurance costs.~~the mortgage origination operation acquired as part of the ASB acquisition.

The ~~decrease~~increases in payroll taxes and other employment costs for periods in 2019 compared to those in 2018 primarily reflected the increases in base salaries and wages.

Stock-based compensation declined compared to the linked quarter due largely to annual stock grants, which occur primarily in the first quarter of each year. The majority of the grants are expensed over the three-year vesting period, with the exception of those made to retirement eligible grantees. Stock grants to retirement eligible grantees are expensed either immediately or over a shorter period than three years. The $1.2 million of stock-based compensation for the first quarter of 2019 included $469,000 of expense related to stock grants to retirement eligible individuals, and $128,000 of expense related

Peoples' amortization of other intangible assets is driven by acquisition-related activity. Amortization of other intangible assets for the second quarter of 2019 was up compared to the first quarter of 2019 as a result of the core deposit intangible asset related to the acquisition of First Prestonsburg.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $3.4 million for the linked quarter and $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2018. The decline in income tax expense compared to the linked quarter was due to lower pre-tax income. The current quarter included a tax benefit of $59,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the current quarter, compared to a tax benefit of $133,000 in the linked quarter. The vesting of a majority of stock awards granted by Peoples occurs annually in the first quarter. The increase in income tax expense compared to the second quarter of ~~2017 and $4.2 million compared~~2018 was due to higher pre-tax income combined with the release of a valuation allowance during the second quarter of 2018 of $805,000.

For the first six months of 2017. For the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018, other non-interest expense included $3.4 million of acquisition-related expenses, primarily related to fees associated with early termination of contracts and de-conversion fees, coupled with fraud-related expenses related to an ATM skimming incident which resulted in operational losses of $207,000 and was recorded during the second quarter of 2018. Actions have been taken to prevent future fraudulent ATM activity.

~~Income Tax Expense~~

~~For the second quarter of 2018,~~2019, Peoples recorded income tax expense of ~~$1.0~~$5.6 million, compared to $2.4 million for the linked quarter, and $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2017. Income tax expense decreased during the second quarter of 2018 in part due to the release of a valuation allowance of $0.8 million. This valuation allowance was related to a historical tax credit Peoples invested in during 2015. Peoples' recent sell off of equity investment securities, and the related capital gains realized, were large enough to offset the capital loss Peoples anticipates in 2021, which is expected to be recognized due to the structure of the historical tax credit investment, resulting in the release of the valuation allowances related to this tax credit. Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2018 was positively impacted by $290,000 for stock awards that settled or vested during the quarter. The majority of stock awards vest in the first quarter of each year at which time the related tax benefit is recorded. The reduction in the income tax expense reported in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 was also attributable to the decrease in the federal statutory corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017, and its impact on Peoples effective tax rate, which was 11.4% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 16.9% for the first quarter of 2018 and 31.1% for the second quarter of 2017.

~~For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Peoples recorded income tax expense of~~ $3.4 ~~million, compared to $8.3~~ million for the same period in the prior year, and the effective tax rate for the first six months of ~~2018~~2019 was ~~14.7%~~18.9%, compared to ~~30.8%~~14.7% for the first six months of ~~2017.~~2018. The year-over-year increase in income tax expense was primarily due to higher pre-tax income combined with the release of a valuation allowance during the first six months of 2018 of $805,000. The first six months of 2019 included a tax benefit of $192,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the period, compared to a tax benefit of $296,000 in the first six months of 2018.

Pre-Provision Net Revenue (non-US GAAP)

Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") has become a key financial measure used by state and federal bank regulatory agencies when assessing the capital adequacy of financial institutions. PPNR is defined as net interest income plus total ~~fee-based~~non-interest income (excluding all gains and losses) minus total non-interest expense ~~and, therefore, excludes~~while excluding the recovery of, or provision for, loan losses and all gains ~~and/or~~and losses included in earnings. As a result, PPNR represents the earnings capacity that can be either retained in order to build capital or used to absorb unexpected losses and preserve existing capital. This ratio represents a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the provision for loan losses and all gains and/or losses included in earnings.

Return on Average Assets Adjusted for Non-Core Items (non-US GAAP)

In addition to return on average assets, management uses return on average assets adjusted for non-core items to monitor performance. The return on average assets ratio adjusted for non-core items represents a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the after-tax impact of all gains and losses, and acquisition-related expenses.

The return on average assets declined in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the linked quarter, driven by an increase in acquisition-related expenses of $6.5 million compared to the linked quarter, combined with higher average assets which resulted from the First Prestonsburg merger. Compared to the second quarter of 2018, the increase in return on average assets was driven by higher net interest income, non-interest income, and a lower provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in average assets. The return on average assets increased in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, driven by higher net interest income, a lower provision for loan losses, and higher non-interest income compared to the linked quarter, partially offset by an increase in average assets, all of which were impacted by the First Prestonsburg and ASB mergers.

The return on average assets adjusted for non-core items declined in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the linked quarter, driven by the increase in average assets, combined with relatively unchanged non-interest income. Compared to the second quarter of 2018, the increase in return on average assets adjusted for non-core items was driven by higher net interest income, non-interest income, and a lower provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in average assets.

Return on Average Tangible ~~Stockholders'~~ Equity (non-US GAAP)

The return on average tangible ~~stockholders'~~ equity ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. The return on tangible ~~stockholders'~~ equity is calculated as net income (less after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by tangible ~~stockholders'~~equity. The return on tangible equity is calculated as net income (less the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by tangible equity. This measure is ~~non-GAAP~~non-US GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets from earnings and the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on total stockholders' equity.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples' interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased ~~$7.4~~$20.9 million from December 31, ~~2017.~~ 2018. The total cash and cash equivalent balance included ~~$13.0~~$19.8 million of excess cash reserves being maintained at the ~~Federal Reserve Bank~~FRB of Cleveland at June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to ~~$9.3~~$11.2 million at December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The amount of excess cash reserves maintained is dependent upon Peoples' daily liquidity position, which is driven primarily by changes in deposit and loan balances.

Through the first six months of ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents increased ~~$12.6~~$15.8 million as Peoples' net cash provided used in ~~investing~~financing activities of ~~$89.0~~$71.2 million was less than the sum of net cash provided by ~~financing~~investing and operating activities of ~~$74.1~~$68.2 million and ~~$27.5~~$18.8 million, respectively. Peoples' investing activities reflected a net ~~increase~~decrease of ~~$92.6~~$29.2 million in loans and ~~purchases of $81.4 million in available-for-sale investment securities, which were partially offset by $77.2~~$145.2 million in net proceeds from sales, principal payments, calls and prepayments on available-for-sale and ~~held-to-~~

~~(a) As of January 1, 2018, Peoples adopted ASU 2016-01, resulting in the reclassification of equity securities from available-for-sale investment securities to other~~

investment securities. At December 31, 2017, $7.8 million of equity securities were included in available-for-sale investment securities, and at June 30, 2018, $294,000 of equity securities were included in other investments compared to $7.5 million at March 31, 2018.

The ~~decline~~increase in the ratio was attributable to improvement in asset quality metrics, and to the ASB acquisition, as the loans acquired from ASB were recorded at a preliminary fair value, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and no allowance for loan ~~loss related to these loans~~losses over time was ~~recorded as~~mainly the result of ~~June 30, 2018 based~~loan growth. The increase during the first quarter of 2019 was also impacted by the specific reserve on ~~analysis of the loans as of that date.~~a non-accrual loan.

The significant allocations of allowance for loan losses to commercial loans reflect the higher credit risk associated with this type of lending and the size of this loan category in relationship to the entire loan portfolio. The allowance allocated to the residential real estate and consumer loan categories is based upon Peoples' allowance methodology for homogeneous pools of loans. The fluctuations in these allocations have been directionally consistent with the changes in loan quality, loss experience and loan balances in these categories.

(d) Nonperforming loans include loans 90+ days past due and accruing, ~~renegotiated loans~~troubled debt restructurings and nonaccrual loans. Nonperforming assets include nonperforming

loans and OREO.

Nonperforming assets increased $1.9 million, or 11%, compared to March 31, 2019, and were up $2.1 million, or 11%, compared to June 30, 2018. The increase compared to March 31, 2019, was partially due to acquired loans from First Prestonsburg, which comprised $0.7 million of nonperforming assets at June 30, 2019, with the remainder due to smaller relationships that have become 90+ days past due and are still accruing. Classified loans, which are those categorized as substandard or doubtful, increased $15.7 million, or 33%, compared to March 31, 2019, and were up $7.5 million, or 13%, from June 30, 2018. The increase in classified loans was largely related to acquired First Prestonsburg loans, coupled with downgrades of two commercial loan relationships totaling $8.5 million during the second quarter of 2019. Criticized loans, which are those categorized as special mention, substandard or doubtful, increased $7.2 million, or 8%, compared to March 31, 2019, and decreased $23.8 million, or 20%, compared to June 30, 2018. The increase in criticized loans was largely related to acquired First Prestonsburg loans.

At June 30, 2019, period-end deposits increased ~~$218.9~~$226.2 million, or 8%7%, compared to March 31, 2019, $408.1 million, or 14%, compared to December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, and ~~$272.1~~$414.4 million, or ~~10%~~14%, compared to June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. Compared to ~~the end of~~ the linked quarter, the growth was ~~largely due to $198.6 million~~driven by the First Prestonsburg acquisition, partially offset by a seasonal decline of ~~balances in deposit accounts acquired from ASB.~~

At June 30, 2018, period-end deposits increased $136.1 million, or 5%, compared to March 31, 2018, and $272.1 million, or 10%, compared to June 30, 2017. Compared to the end of the linked quarter, excluding the balances acquired from ASB, deposit balances were down $32.3 million, due in part to a decrease of $36.7$31.9 million in governmental ~~deposit accounts, as balances in governmental~~ deposits, which are ~~seasonally~~typically higher induring the first quarter of each ~~year compared to the other quarters. Compared to the end of~~year. During the second quarter of ~~2017, excluding~~2019, Peoples issued $30.0 million of 90-day brokered CDs to fund three $10.0 million interest rate swaps with a notional value in the ~~impact~~aggregate of $30.0 million during the ~~ASB acquisition,~~second quarter of 2019. The swaps will pay a fixed rate of interest while receiving three-month LIBOR, which offsets the ~~increase in period-end deposits at June 30, 2018 was $103.8 million, primarily due to a $91.5 million increase in certificates~~rate on the brokered CDs.

Peoples' short-term FHLB advances generally consist of overnight borrowings maintained in connection with the management of Peoples' daily liquidity position. ~~Peoples' short-term FHLB advances at~~Borrowed funds, in total, which include overnight borrowings, are mainly a function of loan growth and changes in total deposit balances. Overnight borrowings as of June 30, ~~2018 increased $157.3 million and $151.2~~2019 declined $24 million compared to March 31, ~~2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The increase in short-term borrowings in all periods was~~2019, primarily ~~related to long-term FHLB advances being reclassified to short-term borrowings~~ due to the ~~advances maturing within one year, coupled with loan growth out-pacing~~increase in deposit ~~growth. The increase at~~balances during the quarter. As of June 30, ~~2018 from March 31, 2018~~2019, Peoples had fifteen effective interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $140.0 million, $110.0 million of which was funded by FHLB 90-day advances, which are expected to extend every 90 days through the maturity dates of the swaps. The remaining $30.0 million of interest rate swaps was funded by 90-day brokered CDs, which will also ~~includes $21.0 million in short-term FHLB advances acquired from ASB.~~be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the swaps. Peoples continually evaluates the overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment.

~~As of~~ Long-term FHLB advances declined at June 30, 2019 compared to March 31, 2019 due to transfers to short-term borrowings. At March 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018, Peoples had a total of ten interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $67.0 million. Peoples acquired three interest rate swaps with the ASB acquisition, which had a notional value of $7.0 million, and all of which matured in July 2018. The seven interest rate swaps are associated with Peoples' cash outflows for various short-termlong-term FHLB advances. Four of the seven swaps became effective in the first six months of 2018, two in January 2018 and two in April 2018. Of the three remaining swaps, one became effective in July 2018 and two will become effective in October 2018. These dates roughly coincide with the maturity of existing FHLB advances.advances declined due to principal payments.

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity

At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, capital levels for both Peoples and Peoples Bank remained substantially higher than the minimum amounts needed to be considered "well capitalized" institutions under applicable banking regulations. These higher capital levels reflect Peoples' desire to maintain a strong capital position. In order to avoid limitations on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation, Peoples must exceed the three minimum required ratios by at least the capital conservation buffer. The capital conservation buffer ~~is being~~was phased in from 0.625% beginning January 1, 2016 to 2.50% by January 1, 2019, and applies to the common equity tier 1 ("CET1") ratio, the tier 1 capital ratio and the total risk-based capital ratio. At June 30, ~~2018, Peoples'~~2019, Peoples had a capital conservation buffer of ~~5.96%~~7.14%, compared to 2.50% for the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer required byat January 1, 2019. As such, Peoples exceeded the minimum ratios including the capital conservation buffer at June 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

~~Many of~~ Peoples' capital ratios at June 30, ~~2018 decreased~~2019 increased compared to the linked quarter ~~and December 31, 2017 largely~~ due to ~~the percentage of risk-weighted assets acquired from the ASB acquisition that were greater than capital added, net of goodwill, from the ASB acquisition. In addition, net income earned~~earnings during the second quarter of ~~2018~~2019, which exceeded the dividends declared and paid during the quarter by ~~$2.4~~$2.6 million. The capital ratios at June 30, 2019 were also impacted by the increase in risk-weighted assets, which was largely attributable to the First Prestonsburg merger. The capital ratios increased at March 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 due to increased equity as earnings exceeded the dividends declared. Peoples' capital ratios at December 31, 2018 increased compared to September 30, 2018 due primarily to increased earnings, which was largely driven by loan growth. The capital ratios increased at September 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2018 due to increased equity as earnings exceeded the dividends declared, while net risk-weighted assets decreased slightly in relation to some large payoffs that were higher volatility commercial real estate loans. The leverage ratio at September 30, 2018 decreased slightly compared to June 30, 2018 due to the increase in average assets in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter as ASB was acquired on April 13, 2018.

In addition to traditional capital measurements, management uses tangible capital measures to evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' stockholders' equity. Such ratios represent ~~non-GAAP~~non-US GAAP financial measures since their calculation removes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on amounts reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes this information is useful to investors since it facilitates the comparison of Peoples' operating performance, financial condition and trends to peers, especially those without a similar level of intangible assets to that of Peoples. Further, intangible assets generally are difficult to convert into cash, especially during a financial crisis, and could decrease substantially in value should there be deterioration in the overall franchise value. As a result, tangible equity represents a conservative measure of the capacity for Peoples to incur losses but remain solvent.

The ~~decrease~~increase in the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio at June 30, ~~2018~~2019 compared to March 31, ~~2018, and June 30, 2017~~2019, was due largely to ~~higher tangible assets attributable to loan growth and the ASB acquisition, offset partially by~~ the issuance of equity in the form of common shares in connection with the ~~ASB acquisition.~~First Prestonsburg merger combined with higher retained earnings and other comprehensive income during the second quarter of 2019, offset partially by higher tangible assets attributable primarily to the First Prestonsburg merger. The increase in the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio compared to December 31, 2018, as well as previous periods, was the result of higher retained earnings, combined with an increase in the market value of available-for-sale investment securities.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are major risks that can materially impact future results of operations and financial condition due to their complexity and dynamic nature. The objective of Peoples' ~~asset/liability~~asset-liability management ~~(“ALM”)~~ function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on interest rate risk exposure and adequate liquidity through its management of the mix of assets and liabilities, their related cash flows and the rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the ~~ALM~~asset-liability management function is intended to guide management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets and selection of appropriate funding sources.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk ~~(“IRR”~~("IRR") is one of the most significant risks arising in the normal course of business of financial services companies like Peoples. IRR is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact the earnings stream, as well as market values, of financial assets and liabilities. Peoples' exposure to IRR is due primarily to differences in the maturity or repricing of ~~interest-earning~~earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors, such as prepayments of loans and investment securities, or early withdrawal of deposits, can ~~expose Peoples~~affect Peoples' exposure to IRR and increase interest costs or reduce revenue streams.

Peoples has assigned overall management of IRR to its Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”), which has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and managing the level of IRR. The methods used by ~~the~~ ALCO to assess IRR remain largely unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' ~~2017~~2018 Form 10-K.

Estimated changes in net interest income and economic value of equity are partially driven by assumptions regarding the rate at which non-maturity deposits will reprice given a move in short-term interest rates. Peoples takes a historically conservative approach when determining what repricing rates (deposit betas) are used in modeling interest rate risk. These assumptions are monitored closely by Peoples and are updated at least annually. The actual deposit betas experienced recently by Peoples in the repricing of non-maturity deposits are lower than those used in Peoples’ current interest rate risk modeling. Peoples has benefited from this trend in the current interest rate and competitor environment as it has provided for growth in Peoples’ net interest ~~income~~income. However, in recent months, Peoples has experienced more pressure on margin expansion and rate competition in its markets.

Peoples considers other interest rate scenarios in addition to analyzing the impact of parallel yield curve shifts. This includes various flattening and steepening scenarios in which short-term and long-term rates move in different directions with varying magnitude. Peoples believes these scenarios to be more reflective of how interest rates change versus the severe parallel rate shocks described above. At June 30, 2019, the U.S. Treasury and LIBOR swap curves were inverted for certain tenors. Given the shape of market yield curves at June 30, 2019, consideration of the bull steepener scenario yields insights which were not captured by parallel shifts. The key insight presented by the bull steepener scenario highlights the risk to net interest ~~margin as change in interest expense has been lower than anticipated in~~income when long-term yields remain constant while short-term rates fall. In such a ~~rising rate environment. However, the trend is subject to change~~scenario, Peoples’ funding costs, which are correlated with ~~increased competition in deposit pricing from other banks and shifts in the yield curve.~~short-term rates, decline, while asset yields correlated with long-term rates remain constant.

At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples' ~~unaudited~~ consolidated balance sheet was ~~relatively neutral~~positioned to benefit from rising interest rates in terms of potential impact ~~of interest rate moves~~ on net interest income. The table above illustrates this point as changes to net interest income ~~are relatively modest~~increase in the rising ~~interest~~ rate scenarios. ~~This~~The increase in asset sensitivity from December 31, 2018 was largely attributable to the high balance of governmental deposits. Peoples’ ~~increased use of short-term wholesale funding as of~~overnight FHLB borrowing position, which had declined substantially from December 31, 2018 to June 30, ~~2018 compared to December 31, 2017.

The increased public funds deposit balances are expected to decline through September 2019. While parallel interest rate shock scenarios are useful in assessing the level of ~~IRR~~interest rate risk inherent in the balance sheet, interest rates typically move in a non-parallel manner with differences in the timing, direction, and magnitude of changes in short-term and long-term interest rates. Thus, any benefit that might occur as a result of the Federal Reserve increasing short-term interest rates in the future could be offset by an inverse movement in long-term interest rates.

~~Table of Contents~~

Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples had ~~ten~~entered into fifteen interest rate ~~swaps~~swap contracts, with aan aggregate notional value of ~~$67.0~~$140.0 million. Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps can be found in ~~Note~~"Note 14 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' ~~2017~~2018 Form ~~10-K..~~10-K and "Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Liquidity

In addition to IRR management, another major objective of the ALCO is to maintain a sufficient level of ~~liquidity at Peoples Bank.~~liquidity. The methods used by the ALCO to monitor and evaluate the adequacy of Peoples Bank's liquidity position remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' ~~2017~~2018 Form 10-K.

At June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples Bank had liquid assets of ~~$197.9~~$261.9 million, which represented ~~4.6%~~5.6% of total assets and unfunded loan commitments. This amount exceeded the ~~minimal~~minimum level by ~~$86.8~~$168.2 million, or ~~2.0%~~3.6% of total loans and

Table of Contents

unfunded commitments, currently required under Peoples' liquidity policy. Peoples also had an additional ~~$78.5~~$115.0 million of unpledged investment securities not included in the measurement of liquid assets.

Management believes the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, and anticipated cash flows from the investment portfolio, along with the availability of other funding sources, will allow Peoples to meet anticipated cash obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, Peoples is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of Peoples' customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the ~~Unaudited~~ Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement Peoples has in these financial instruments.

Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of Peoples' customers. Standby letters of credit are instruments issued by Peoples Bank guaranteeing the beneficiary payment by Peoples Bank in the event of default by Peoples Bank's customer in the performance of an obligation or service. Historically, most loan commitments and standby letters of credit expire unused. Peoples Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Peoples Bank uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Peoples Bank routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the ~~consolidated financial statements.~~Consolidated Financial Statements. These activities are part of Peoples Bank's normal course of business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate contracts and commitments to make additional capital contributions in low-income housing tax credit investments. Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments continue to represent the most significant off-balance sheet exposure.

The following table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit:

Management does not anticipate that Peoples Bank’s current off-balance sheet activities will have a material impact on its future results of operations and financial condition based on historical experience and recent trends.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information called for by this Item 3 is provided under the caption “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity” under “ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL ~~CONDITIONAND~~CONDITION AND RESULTS OF ~~PERATIONS”~~OPERATIONS” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Peoples' management, with the participation of Peoples' President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, ~~2018~~2019. Based upon that evaluation, Peoples’ President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that:

(a)

information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Peoples’ management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;


(b)	information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and


(c)	Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in Peoples' internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Peoples' fiscal quarter ended June 30, ~~2018~~2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Peoples’ internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of their respective businesses or operations, Peoples or one of its subsidiaries may be named as a plaintiff, a defendant, or a party to a legal proceeding or any of their respective properties may be subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and various actual and potential claims. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, Peoples cannot state what the eventual outcome of any such matters will be. However, based on management's current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Peoples.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

~~The accounting treatment of the~~Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps ~~entered into by Peoples~~ as part of its interest rate risk management ~~strategy, may change if the hedging relationship is not as effective as currently anticipated.~~strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, Peoples had 10entered into fifteen interest rate ~~swaps~~swap contracts, which were effective with an aggregate notional value of ~~$67.0~~$140.0 million. Seven of the swaps relate to the interest rate management strategy. Of the seven swaps, two became effective in January 2018, two became effective in April 2018, and one became effective in July 2018, with the two remaining swaps becoming effective in October 2018. These dates roughly coincide with the maturity of existing FHLB advances. The increase in the notional value was reflective of three swaps in the amount of $7.0 million which were acquired with the ASB acquisition in the second quarter of 2018. All three of the swaps acquired in the ASB acquisition matured in July of 2018.

Although Peoples expects that each of the hedging ~~relationship~~relationships will continue to be highly effective as described above, it has not assumed that there will be no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship. As of June 30, 2018, the termination value of derivatives in a net asset position, which included accrued interest but excluded any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to the sevenrelationships. Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps ~~other than those acquired~~can be found in "Note 14 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the ~~ASB acquisition, was $3.3 million. As~~Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K and "Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments" of ~~June 30, 2018, Peoples has no minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $6.0 million~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~against its obligations under these agreements. If Peoples had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2018, it could have been required~~the Notes to ~~settle its obligations under~~ the ~~agreements at the termination value.~~Unconsolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

There have been no other material changes from those risk factors previously disclosed in “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Peoples’ ~~2017~~2018 Form 10-K. Those risk factors are not the only risks Peoples faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect Peoples’ business, financial condition and/or operating results.
