CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC and in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Because this report is based on an interim period, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.


In the opinion of management of the registrant, the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and the results of operations for the periods presented. The financial performance reported for CNB Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) for the three and nine month period ended March 31,September 30, 2019 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). All dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except share and per share data and other amounts as indicated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.


2.    STOCK COMPENSATION


The Corporation has a stock incentive plan, which is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors and which permits the Corporation to provide various types of stock-based compensation to its key employees, directors, and/or consultants, including time-based and performance-based shares of restricted stock. The Corporation previously maintained itsthe CNB Financial Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, which terminated in accordance with its terms on February 10, 2019, and currently maintains itsthe CNB Financial Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2019 Stock Incentive Plan,Plan"), which was approved by the Corporation’s shareholders and became effective on April 16, 2019. 


For key employees, the vesting of time-based restricted stock is one-third, one-fourth, or one-fifth of the granted restricted shares per year, beginning one year after the grant date, with 100% vesting on the third, fourth or fifth anniversary of the grant date, respectively. Prior to 2018, for non-employee directors, the vesting schedule iswas one-third of the granted restricted shares per year, beginning one year after the grant date, with 100% vested on the third anniversary of the grant date. Beginning in 2018, stock compensation received by non-employee directors vests immediately. At March 31,September 30, 2019, there was no0 unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation awarded under this plan and, except for the time-based and performance-based restricted stock awards disclosed below and in previous filings, no0 other stock-based compensation was granted during the three or nine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018.
In addition to the time-based restricted stock disclosed above, the Corporation’s Board of Directors grants performance-based restricted stock awards (“PBRSAs”) to key employees. The number of PBRSAs will depend on certain performance conditions and are also subject to service-based vesting. In 2019, awards with a maximum of 16,681 shares in aggregate were granted to key employees. In 2018, awards with a maximum of 15,657 shares in aggregate were granted to key employees. In 2017, an award with a maximum of 7,109 shares was granted to a key employee. In the third quarter of 2019, a key employee retired resulting in 241 and 557 shares vesting related to their 2019 and 2018 PBRSA, respectively, in accordance with their agreement.
Compensation expense for the restricted stock awards is recognized over the requisite service period noted above based on the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. Nonvested restricted stock awards are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in shareholders’ equity until earned. Compensation expense resulting from thesetime-based, performance-based and director restricted stock awards was $592$242 and $677$1,109 for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, there$269 and $1,218 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. There was $1,185$640 and $775 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards.





awards, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The total income tax benefit related to the recognized compensation cost of vested restricted stock awards was $51 and $233 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $56 and $256 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

3.    FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Measurement


Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has also been established which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.


The fair values of most trading securities and securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).


The Corporation’s derivative instruments are interest rate swaps that are similar to those that trade in liquid markets. As such, significant fair value inputs can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant management judgments (Level 2 inputs).


The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals prepared by third-parties. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management also adjusts appraised values based on the length of time that has passed since the appraisal date and other factors. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.





Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Impaired loans, measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a recorded investment of $4,244 with a valuation allowance of $2,538 as of March 31, 2019, resulting in a provision for loan losses of $777 for the corresponding three month period. Impaired loans had a recorded investment of $3,918 with a valuation allowance of $1,184 as of December 31, 2018. Impaired loans carried at fair value resulted in a provision for loan losses of $272 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.


The estimated fair values of impaired collateral dependent loans, such as commercial or residential mortgages, are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a collateral dependent loan, such as a commercial or residential mortgage loan, becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal, and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral and a further reduction for estimated costs to sell the property is applied, which results in an amount that is considered to be the estimated fair value. If a loan becomes impaired and the appraisal of related loan collateral is outdated, management applies an appropriate adjustment factor based on its experience with current valuations of similar collateral in determining the loan’s estimated fair value and resulting allowance for loan losses. Third-party appraisals are not customarily obtained in respect of unimpaired loans, unless in management’s view changes in circumstances warrant obtaining an updated appraisal.

In accordance with our adoption of ASUAccounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01 in 2018, the methods utilized to measure the fair value of financial instruments at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 represent an approximation of exit price; however, an actual exit price may differ.



While estimates of fair value are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors as of the balance sheet date, there is no assurance that the estimated fair values would have been realized if the assets had been disposed of or the liabilities settled at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values would also not apply to subsequent dates. The fair value of other equity interests is based on the net asset values provided by the underlying investment partnership. Accounting Standards Updated ("ASU") 2015-7 removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient and related disclosures.In addition, other assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments, such as premises and equipment, are not included in the disclosures.

Also, non-financial assets such as, among other things, the estimated earnings power of core deposits, the earnings potential of trust accounts, the trained workforce, and customer goodwill, which typically are not recognized on the balance sheet, may have value but are not included in the fair value disclosures.

The Corporation evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, or more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.


At March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, management performed an assessment for possible other-than-temporary impairment of the Corporation’s debt securities, relying on information obtained from various sources, including publicly available financial data, ratings by external agencies, brokers and other sources. Based on the results of the assessment, management believes impairment of these debt securities at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 to be temporary.
For the securities that comprise corporate notes and bonds and the securities that are issued by state and political subdivisions, management monitors publicly available financial information, such as filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in order to evaluate the securities for other-than-temporary impairment. For financial institution issuers, management monitors information from quarterly “call” report filings that are used to generate Uniform Bank Performance Reports. All other securities that were in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date were reviewed by management, and issuer-specific documents were reviewed as appropriate given the following considerations. When reviewing securities for other-than-temporary impairment, management considersconsiderations; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. Management also considersoccurred, the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than cost, and whether management does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.
As of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, management concluded that the securities described in the previous paragraph were not other-than-temporarily impaired for the following reasons:
 
There is no indication of any significant deterioration of the creditworthiness of the institutions that issued the securities.
All contractual interest payments on the securities have been received as scheduled, and no information has come to management’s attention through the processes previously described which would lead to a conclusion that future contractual payments will not be timely received.
The Corporation does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

On March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, securities carried at $269,591$257,233 and $290,717, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as provided by law.

The Corporation’s outstanding loans and related unfunded commitments are primarily concentrated within central and northwest Pennsylvania, central and northeast Ohio, and western New York. The Bank attempts to limit concentrations within specific industries by utilizing dollar limitations to single industries or customers, and by entering into participation agreements with third parties. Collateral requirements are established based on management’s assessment of the customer. The Corporation maintains lending policies to control the quality of the loan portfolio. These policies delegate the authority to extend loans under specific guidelines and underwriting standards. These policies are prepared by the Corporation’s management and reviewed and ratified annually by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.



Pursuant to the Corporation’s lending policies, management considers a variety of factors when determining whether to extend credit to a customer, including loan-to-value ratios, FICO scores, quality of the borrower’s financial statements, and the ability to obtain personal guarantees.
Commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans comprised 38% and 37% of the Corporation’s total loan portfolio at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Commercial mortgage loans comprised 29% and 28% of the Corporation’s total loan portfolio at both March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.2018, respectively. Management assigns a risk rating to all commercial loans at loan origination. The loan-to-value policy guidelines for commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans are generally a maximum of 80% of the value of business equipment, a maximum of 75%70% of the value of accounts receivable, and a maximum of 60% of the value of business inventory at loan origination. The loan-to-value policy guideline for commercial mortgage loans is generally a maximum of 85% of the appraised value of the real estate.


Residential real estate loans comprised 29% and 31% of the Corporation’s total loan portfolio at both March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.2018, respectively. The loan-to-value policy guidelines for residential real estate loans vary depending on the collateral position and the specific type of loan. Higher loan-to-value terms may be approved with the appropriate private mortgage insurance coverage. The Corporation also originates and prices loans for sale into the secondary market. Loans so originated are classified as loans held for sale and are excluded from residential real estate loans reported above. The rationale for these sales is to mitigate interest rate risk associated with holding lower rate, long-term residential mortgages in the loan portfolio and to generate fee revenue from sales and servicing the loan.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. AllThere were 0 loans modified inas troubled debt restructurings are performing in accordance with their modified terms as of March 31,for which there was a payment default within a twelve-month cycle following the modification during the period ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and noSeptember 30, 2018. There were 0 principal balances were forgiven in connection with the loan restructurings.


In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed ofthe Corporation evaluates the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt payments in the foreseeable future without a loan modification. This evaluation is performed using the Corporation’s internal underwriting policies. The Corporation has no further loan commitments to customers whose loans are classified as a troubled debt restructuring.


Generally, nonperforming troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time (generally six months) and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Credit Quality Indicators


The Corporation classifies commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans and commercial mortgage loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.


The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings:


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


Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.


Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.


Loans not rated as special mention, substandard, or doubtful are considered to be pass rated loans. All loans included in the following tables have been assigned a risk rating within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

7.    EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income, excluding net earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares determined for the basic computation plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares issuable under certain stock compensation plans. For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no0 outstanding stock options to include in the diluted earnings per share calculations.calculations and the impact of performance based shares was immaterial.
Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Corporation has determined that its outstanding unvested stock awards are participating securities.

8.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS


On September 7, 2018, the Corporation executed an interest rate swap agreement with a 5-year term and an effective date of September 15, 2018 in order to hedge cash flows associated with $10 million of a subordinated note that was issued by the Corporation during 2007 and elected cash flow hedge accounting for the agreement. The Corporation’s objective in using this derivative is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. The interest rate swap involves the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments from September 15, 2018 to September 15, 2023 without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. At March 31,September 30, 2019, the variable rate on the subordinated debt was 4.16%3.67% (LIBOR plus 155 basis points) and the Corporation was paying 4.53% (2.98% fixed rate plus 155 basis points).


In order to hedge cash flows associated with $10 million of athe subordinated note discussed above, on May 3, 2011, the Corporation executed an interest rate swap agreement with a 5-year term and an effective date of September 15, 2013 that expired in September 2018. The Corporation’s objective in using this derivative was to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. The interest rate swap involved the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments from September 15, 2013 to September 15, 2018 without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
As of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no0 derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Corporation does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.


The following tables provide information about the amounts and locations of activity related to the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges within the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the interest rate swap will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the subordinated debentures. Such amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in the next twelve months are expected to be $36.$86.
As of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, a cash collateral balance in the amount of $400$750 and $200, respectively, was maintained with a counterparty to the interest rate swaps. These balances are included in interest bearing deposits with other banks on the consolidated balance sheet.


The Corporation entered into certain interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Corporation enters into an interest rate swap with a customer while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with another financial institution. In connection with each swap transaction, the Corporation agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. Concurrently, the Corporation agrees to pay another financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The transaction allows the Corporation’s customers to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. Because the Corporation acts as an intermediary for its customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts offset each other and do not impact the Corporation’s results of operations.
The Corporation pledged cash collateral to another financial institution with a balance $950$3,000 as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and $750 as of December 31, 2018. This balance is included in interest bearing deposits with other banks on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation does notmay require its customers to post cash or securities as collateral on its program of back-to-back swaps. However,swaps depending upon the specific facts and circumstances surrounding each loan and individual swap. In addition, certain language is included in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreement and loan documents where, in default situations, the Corporation is permitted to access collateral supporting the loan relationship to recover any losses suffered on the derivative asset or liability. The Corporation may be required to post additional collateral to swap counterparties in the future in proportion to potential increases in unrealized loss positions.








The following table provides information about the amounts and locations of activity related to the back-to-back interest rate swaps within the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

(1) Not within scope of ASU 2014-9
(1)Not within scope of ASU 2014-9


Management determined that the primary sources of revenue emanating from interest and dividend income on loans and investment securities along with non-interest revenue resulting from security gains, loan servicing, gains on the sale of loans, commitment fees, fees from financial guarantees, certain credit card fees and gains (losses) on sale of other real estate owned not financed by the Corporation, isare not within the scope of ASU 2014-9. As a result, no changes were made during the period related to these sources of revenue, which comprised 90.2%89.5% and 88.7%89.7% of the total revenue of the Corporation for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 89.0% and 88.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.


The types of non-interest income within the scope of the standard that are material to the consolidated financial statements are services charges on deposit accounts, wealth and asset management fee income, card processing and interchange income, and other income.


Service charges on deposit accounts: The Corporation earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed, as that is the point in time the Corporation fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Corporation satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Services charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.










Wealth and asset management fees: The Corporation earns wealth and asset management fees from its contracts with trust and brokerage customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Corporation provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management at month end. Fees for these services are billed to customers on a monthly or quarterly basis and are recorded as revenue at the end of the period for which the wealth and asset management services have been performed. Other performance obligations, such as the delivery of account statements to customers, are generally considered immaterial to the overall transaction price.


Card processing and interchange income: The Corporation earns interchange fees from check card and credit card transactions conducted through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.


Other income: The Corporation's other income includes sources such as bank owned life insurance, certain service fees, gains (losses) on sales of fixed assets, and gains (losses) on sale of other real estate owned. The service fees are recognized in the same manner as the service charges mentioned above. While gains on the sale of other real estate owned are generally within the scope of ASU 2014-9, the Corporation does not finance the sale of transactions and as such there is no change in revenue recognition.


10.    LEASES


As of January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted certain accounting standard updates related to accounting for leases (Topic 842 - Leases), primarily Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")ASU 2016-02 and subsequent updates. This guidance requires a lessee to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. The Corporation adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, and elected several practical expedients made available by the FASB. Specifically, the Corporation elected the transition practical expedient to not recast comparative periods upon the adoption of the new guidance. In addition, the Corporation elected to apply certain practical adoption expedients provided under the updates whereby we did not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. As a result, the Corporation recognized approximately $12.5 million of right of use assets, approximately $800 thousand in prepaid rent, and $13.3 million of related lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019.


Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Operating lease cost, which is comprised of amortization of the operating lease asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in net occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income.


The Corporation leases certain full-serve branch offices, land and equipment. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Most leases include one or more options to renew and the exercise of the lease renewal options are at the Corporation's sole discretion. Certain lease agreements of the Corporation include rental payments adjusted periodically for changes in the consumer price index.

11.    CONTINGENCY


On March 28, 2018, the Corporation received a notice of assessment from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue that reported a sales tax assessment amount of $824 plus interest and penalties of $339 resulting in a total assessed balance of $1,163. The notice of assessment covers the period from January 1, 2013 through July 31, 2016. The Corporation has evaluated the specific items on which sales tax has been assessed in conjunction with its legal counsel and has determined that it is probable that the Corporation has some liability based on a review of the Pennsylvania tax laws that apply to the assessed items. The Corporation’s reasonable estimate of this liability is $96, whichand the cumulative expense that has been accrued and previouslyrecorded as of September 30, 2019 is $246, of which $96 was reported in state and local tax expense in the consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2018. The remainingremainder of the total assessed balance of $1,163 that has not been accrued relates primarily to sales tax assessments associated with data processing and banking equipment maintenance, which the Corporation’s management and legal counsel have concluded were improperly assessed based on current Pennsylvania sales tax law. The Corporation appealed the notice of assessment to the Pennsylvania Board of Appeals and the appeal was denied. The Corporation is awaiting a decision.in the process of appealing the assessment to the Pennsylvania Board of Finance and Revenue. The ultimate resolution of this matter, which may take in excess of one year, could result in an additional expense up to the total amount assessed.


12.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In June 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses) which will require recognition of an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses for assets measured at amortized cost. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually, such as loans. The update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses."  The amendment clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20 and should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, "Leases." In April 2019, ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” was issued to address certain codification improvements and to provide certain accounting policy electives related to accrued interest as well as disclosure related to credit losses, among other things. In May 2019, ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief,” was issued to provide transition relief in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-03 whereby entities would have the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. The Corporation has formed a committee comprised of individuals from different disciplines, including credit administration, finance, commercial lending, loan servicing and information technology, to evaluate the requirements of the new standard and the impact it will have on current processes. Management continues to work through their implementation plan, including parallel testing, documentation of processes and internal controls and policy development with the assistance of third-parties. In addition, management has engaged a third-party to perform a model validation. The new guidance is expected to be heavily influenced by an assessment of the composition, characteristics and credit quality of the Corporation's loan and investment securities portfolio, as well as the economic conditions in effect at the adoption date. The impact to the financial statements is yet to be determined.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." ASU 2018-14 amends ASC 715-20, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General." The amended guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The eliminated disclosures include (a) the amounts in accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year, and (b) the effects of a one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation for post-retirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures include descriptions of significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The update will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-14 on the Corporation’s footnote disclosures included in the financial statements.


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 on the Corporation’s footnote disclosures included in the financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses) which will require recognition of an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses for assets measured at amortized cost. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually, such as loans. The update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Corporation has formed a committee comprised of individuals from different disciplines, including credit administration, finance, loan servicing and information technology, to evaluate the requirements of the new standard and the impact it will have on current processes. Management has performed a loss driver analysis with the assistance of software vendor, and is reviewing the assumptions and methods used in the analysis and results. The new guidance is expected to be heavily influenced by an assessment of the composition, characteristics, and credit quality of the Corporation's loan and investment securities portfolio as well as the economic conditions in effect at the adoption date. The impact to the financial statements is yet to be determined.









In March 2019, the FASB issued an amendment (ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements) which provides clarifications to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing essential information about leasing transactions. Specifically, ASU 2019-01 (i) allows the fair value of the underlying asset reported by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers to continue to be its cost and not fair value as measured under the fair value definition, (ii) allows for the cash flows received for sales-type and direct financing leases to continue to be presented as results from investing, and (iii) clarifies that entities do not have to disclose the effect of the lease standard on adoption year interim amounts. The amendment will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2019-01 will have any material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.



ITEM 2
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSISOF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTSOF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of financial results. The Corporation’s subsidiary, CNB Bank (the “Bank”), provides financial services to individuals and businesses primarily within its primary market area of the Pennsylvania counties of Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Crawford, Elk, Indiana, Jefferson, and McKean. As ERIEBANK, a division of CNBthe Bank, the Bank operates in the Pennsylvania counties of Crawford, Erie, and Warren and the Ohio counties of Ashtabula and Lake. As FCBank, a division of CNBthe Bank, the Bank operates in the Ohio counties of Crawford, Richland, Ashland, Wayne, Marion, Morrow, Knox, Delaware, and Franklin. As Bank on Buffalo, a division of CNBthe Bank, the Bank operates in Erie and Niagara counties, New York. The Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Pennsylvania State Department of Banking as well as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.


In addition to the Bank, the Corporation has four other subsidiaries. CNB Securities Corporation is incorporated in Delaware and currently maintains investments in debt and equity securities. CNB Risk Management, Inc. is a Delaware-based captive insurance company which insures against certain risks unique to the operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today's insurance marketplace. CNB Insurance Agency, incorporated in Pennsylvania, provides for the sale of nonproprietary annuities and other insurance products. Holiday Financial Services Corporation (“Holiday”), incorporated in Pennsylvania, offers small balance secured and unsecured loans, primarily collateralized by automobiles and equipment, to borrowers with higher risk characteristics. The financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries are not necessarily indicative of future performance.


When we use the terms “we”, “us” and “our”, we mean CNB Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries. Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements and related notes.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in its 2018 Form 10-K, and in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1 of this report. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2019, or any future period. The average balances, average yields, return on average assets, return on average equity, net interest margin and total net loan charge-offs to average loans annualized return calculations were refined. Prior periods were adjusted to be comparative to the current period. The impact of the change was immaterial.


GENERAL OVERVIEW


Management looks to return on average equity, earnings per share, asset quality, and other metrics to measure the performance of the Corporation. The interest rate environment will continue to play an important role in the future earnings of the Corporation. In order to address the flattening yield curvechallenging interest rate and highly competitive environment,environments, the Corporation has remained focused on disciplined loan pricingcontinues to sustain a strong net interest margin.evaluate, develop and implement strategies necessary to  support its ongoing financial performance objectives.


Non-interest costs are expected to increase with the growth of the Corporation; however, management’s growth strategies are also expected to result in an increase in earning assets as well as enhanced non-interest income, which is expected to more than offset increases in non-interest expenses in 2019 and beyond. While past results are not an indication of future earnings, management believes the Corporation is well positioned to sustain core earnings during 2019. Although the Corporation's discussion regarding its financial performance distinguishes between certain markets and Private Banking, it does not meet the criteria for discrete segment reporting of its operating results. Management's conclusion was based on the limited level of financial information available to segregate operating results, coupled with the fact that no operating results are available for the Corporation's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to review on a regular basis. All dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except share and per share data and other amounts as indicated.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


Cash and cash equivalents totaled $55.3$52.2 million at March 31,September 30, 2019 compared to $45.6 million at December 31, 2018. Cash and cash equivalents fluctuate based on the timing and amount of liquidity events that occur in the normal course of business.


Management believes the liquidity needs of the Corporation are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding sources,customer deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") financing, and the portions of the securities and loan portfolios that mature within one year. The Corporation expects that these sources of funds will enable it to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due.










SECURITIES


Securities available for sale and trading securities totaled $509.3$539 million and $524.6$525 million at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Corporation’s objective is to maintain the securities portfolio at a size that ranges between 15% and 20% of total assets in order to appropriately balance the earnings and liquidity thatprovided by the portfolio provides.portfolio.  As of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the securities portfolio as a percentage of total assets was 15.5%15.2% and 16.3%, respectively. Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements  provides more detail concerning the composition of the Corporation’s securities portfolio and the process for evaluating securities for other-than-temporary impairment.


The Corporation generally buys into the market over time and does not attempt to “time” its transactions. In doing this, the highs and lows of the market are averaged into the portfolio and the overall effect of different rate environments is minimized.


The Corporation monitors the earnings performance and the effectiveness of the liquidity of the securities portfolio on a regular basis through meetings of the Asset/Liability Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “ALCO”). The ALCO also reviews and manages interest rate risk for the Corporation. Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the securities portfolio, a sufficient level of liquidity is maintained to satisfy depositor requirements and various credit needs of our customers.


LOANS


The Corporation experienced an increase in loans,Corporation's total loan portfolio, net of unearned discount, reached $2.7 billion as of $51.5September 30, 2019, resulting in an increase of $275 million, or 2.1%14.9%, on an annualized basis during the first threenine months of 2019. Over the same time period, this increase was driven by commercial and industrial loans, which increased $117 million, or 17.1%, on an annualized basis, while commercial real estate loans contributed an increase of $91.2 million, or 17.5%, on an annualized basis. Loan growth during the first nine months of 2019 was attributable primarily to Private Banking and our Buffalo market, which increased $63.1 million, or 46.1% (annualized), and $129 million, or 66.9% (annualized), respectively. Lending efforts consist principally of commercial and retail lending, which includes single family residential mortgages and other consumer loans. The Corporation views commercial lending as its competitive advantage and continues to focus on this area by hiring and retaining experienced loan officers and supporting them with qualityrobust credit analysis. The Corporation expects continued strong loan demand to be solid and loan balances to grow throughoutthrough the remainder of 2019.


ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES


The allowance for loan losses is established by provisions for losses in the loan portfolio as well as overdrafts in deposit accounts. These provisions are charged against current income. Loans and overdrafts deemed not collectible are charged off against the allowance while any subsequent collections are recorded as recoveries and increase the allowance. The provision for loan losses reflects the amount deemed appropriate by management to establish an adequate reserve for probable incurred losses. Management’s judgment is based on the evaluation of individual loans, the overall risk characteristics of various portfolio segments, past experience with losses, the impact of economic conditions on borrowers and other relevant factors.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subject to a formal analysis by the Credit Administration and Finance Departmentsdepartments of the Corporation. As part of the formal analysis, delinquencies and losses are monitored monthly. The loan portfolio is divided into several categories in order to better analyze the entire pool. First is a selection of classified loans that is given a specific reserve. The remaining loans are pooled, by category, into thesethe following segments:


Reviewed
 
Commercial, industrial, and agricultural
Commercial mortgages


Homogeneous
 
Residential real estate
Consumer
Credit cards
Overdrafts


The reviewed loan pools above are further segregated into four categories:categories of risk: pass rated, special mention, substandard, doubtful, and pass rated.doubtful. Historical loss factors are calculated for each pool, excluding overdrafts, based on the previous eight quarters of experience. The homogeneous loan pools are evaluated by analyzing the historical loss factors from the most previousrecent eight quarter ends.









The historical loss factors for both the reviewed and homogeneous loan pools are further adjusted based on thesethe following six qualitative factors:
 
levelsLevels of and trends in delinquencies, non-accrual loans, and classified loans;
trendsTrends in volume and terms of loans;
effectsEffects of any changes in lending policies and procedures;
experienceExperience and ability of management;
nationalNational and local economic trends and conditions; and
concentrationsConcentrations of credit.


The methodology described above was created usingdeveloped based upon the experience of the Corporation’s management team, guidance from the regulatory agencies, expertise of a third-party loan review provider and discussions with peers. The resulting factors are applied to the loan pool balances in order to estimate the probable risk of loss within each loan pool. Prudent business practices dictate that the level of the allowance for loan losses, as well as corresponding charges to the provision for loan losses, should be commensurate with identified areas of risk within the loan portfolio and the attendant risks inherent therein. The quality of the credit risk management function and the overall administration of this vital segment of the Corporation’s assets are critical to the ongoing success of the Corporation.


The analysis also considers numerous historical and other factors to analyze the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and charges against the provision for loan losses. Management pays special attention to a section of the analysis that comparedcompares and plottedplots the actual level of the allowance for loan losses against the aggregate amount of loans adversely classified in order to compute the estimated probable losses associated with those loans. By noting the “spread” at that time, as well as for prior periods, management can evaluate the current adequacy of the allowance as well as evaluate trends that may be developing.any developing trends. The volume and composition of the Corporation’s loan portfolio continue to reflect growth in commercial credits, includingmost significantly in commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans.


As mentioned in the “Loans” section of this analysis, management considers commercial lending to be a competitive advantage for the Corporation and continues to focus on this area as part of its strategic growth initiatives. However, management also recognizes and considers the fact that risk is more pronounced in these types of credits and is, to a greater degree than with other loans, driven by the economic environment in which the debtor’s business operates.


During the first quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2019, the recorded provision for loan losses totaled $5.2 million, compared to $4.6 million for the comparable period in 2018. The third quarter of $1.32019 includes a provision expense of $2.1 million, which includes $1.4 million related to one commercial real estate loan relationship, resulting in the loan being fully reserved. Management believes this was primarily duean appropriate step to a $786 thousand increasetake this quarter in specific reserves,light of further deterioration of the underlying performance of the business, including management’s concern regarding an increased lack of communication from the customer and net charge offsuncertainty related to the fair value of $664 thousand.the underlying collateral, resulting in an elevated potential risk for full recovery of principal and interest as contractually required. The allowanceremaining change in provision for loans collectively evaluated for impairment was 0.59% at March 31,loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 0.61% at March 31, 2018. The decrease was duethe same period in 2018, reflects routine adjustments to reserves on impaired loans coupled with increases in general loan loss reserves resulting from growth in the continued strong credit quality and historical loss trends.Corporation’s loan portfolio.


Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is reasonable and adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in its portfolio at March 31,September 30, 2019.


FUNDING SOURCESDEPOSITS


The Corporation considers deposits to be its primary source of funding in support of growth in assets. At September 30, 2019, total deposits of $2.9 billion reflected an increase of $265 million, or 13.6%, on an annualized basis, during the first nine months of 2019. Growth in deposits was driven by targeted customer acquisition strategies aimed at core deposits which, over time, tend to be a more stable source of funding. As a result of our customer acquisition strategies, during the first nine months of 2019 Private Banking contributed to an increase in total deposits of $85.8 million, or 31.2%, on an annualized basis, while the deposit portfolio in our Buffalo market grew $192 million, or 102.3%, on an annualized basis.

OTHER FUNDING SOURCES

The Corporation also considers other funding sources, such as short-term borrowings and term debt when evaluating funding sources. Depositsneeds. During the first nine months of 2019, short-term borrowings from the FHLB increased $46.6to $18.0 million, from $2.61 billionzero at December 31, 2018, to $2.66 billion at March 31, 2019.as a supplemental funding source for the Corporation.


Periodically, the Corporation utilizes term borrowings from the FHLB and other lenders as a supplemental strategy to meet funding obligations or match fund certain loan assets. Management plansAs part of the Corporation's liquidity management, management continues to maintain access tofocus on maintaining a robust level of short-term and long-term borrowingsborrowing capacity as an available funding source.


SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND CAPITAL RATIOS AND METRICS


The Corporation’s capital continued to provide a basesource of strength for profitableits growth. Total shareholders’ equity was $275.0$297 million at March 31,September 30, 2019, and $262.8reflecting an increase of $34.2 million, or 13.0%, from $263 million at December 31, 2018. In the first threenine months of 2019, the Corporation earned $9.5$29.6 million and declared dividends of $2.6$7.8 million, resulting in a dividend payout ratio of 27.4%26.2% of net income. In addition, during the first nine months of 2019, accumulated OCI increased $12.5 million, partially offset by an increase of $243 thousand in treasury stock primarily as a result of the repurchase of 40,000 shares of common stock.


The Corporation has complied with the standards of capital adequacy mandated by government regulations. Bank regulators have established “risk-based” capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks of various assets banks hold in their portfolios. A weight category of 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, 100% or 150% (highest risk assets), is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet.





The Corporation’s capital ratios, book value per share and tangible book value per share as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

(1)Tangible common equity, tangible assets and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP amounts. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of stockholders’ equity. Tangible assets is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of total assets. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the number of shares outstanding. The Corporation believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors that is useful in understanding its financial condition. Because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible common equity and tangible assets, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below.

LIQUIDITY


Liquidity measures an organization’s ability to meet its cash obligations as they come due. The consolidated statements of cash flows included in the accompanying financial statements provide analysis of the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents and the sources and uses of cash. Additionally, the portion of the loan portfolio that matures within one year and securities with maturities within one year in the investment portfolio are considered part of the Corporation’s liquid assets. Liquidity is monitored by both management and the Board’s ALCO, which establishes and monitors ranges of acceptable liquidity. Management believes that the Corporation’s current liquidity position is acceptable.


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES


Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, risk participation agreements, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These financial instrucmentsinstruments are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies used for evaluating loans are the same as the policies used to make such commitments, as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.





The contractual amount of financial instruments with off balance sheet risk was as follows at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The provision for loan losses decreased by $325 thousand, or 19.9%,increases in earnings and non-interest expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 11.5%. The earnings per diluted share were $0.62are the result of a continued strong financial performance driven by organic growth. Total revenue (comprised of net interest income plus non-interest income) of $36.2 million for the firstthree months ended September 30, 2019 increased $3.4 million, or 10.3%, from the comparable period in 2018, while total non-interest expense of $21.4 million for the third quarter of 2019 and $0.46 forincreased $0.7 million, or 3.1%, from the firstthird quarter of 2018. Provision expense of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $1.0 million, or 93.4%, from the same period in 2018.

The return on average assets and the return on average equity for first firstthe third quarter of 2019 were 1.17%1.19% and 14.24%14.03%, respectively, as compared to 1.00%decreasing from 1.20% and 11.61%14.47%, respectively, for the firstthird quarter of 2018. When excluding the impact of goodwill and other intangibles, the return on average tangible equity for the third quarter of 2019 was 16.19%, decreasing from 17.16% for the third quarter of 2018. The efficiency ratio of 58.31% for the third quarter of 2019 improved 415 basis points from 62.46% for the comparable period in 2018. As reflected in its performance ratios, the Corporation has continued to focus on profitability, driven by organic growth in its diversified markets, coupled with efficient management of expenses and strong credit quality.


NET INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSEMARGIN


Net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis was 3.70%3.72% and 3.72%3.81% for the quarters ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The yield on earning assets increased 3616 basis points to 4.89%4.97% for the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2019, from 4.53%4.72% for the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2018. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 4531 basis points to 1.39%1.47% for the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2019  from 0.94%1.16% for the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2018. The decrease of nine basis points in net interest margin during the third quarter of 2019 reflects changes in the interest rate environment.


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES


During the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2019, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.3$2.1 million, as compared to a provision for loan losses of $1.6$1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2018. The third quarter of 2019 included a provision expense totaling $1.4 million related to one commercial real estate loan relationship, resulting in the loan being fully reserved. Management believes this was an appropriate step to take in light of further deterioration on the underlying performance of the business and increased potential risk of full recovery of principal and interest as contractually required, including management’s concerns with an increasing lack of communication from the borrower and uncertainty related to the fair value of the underlying collateral. Net chargeoffs in the firstthird quarter of 2019 were $664 thousand,$3.3 million, compared to net chargeoffs of $568$707 thousand in the firstthird quarter of 2018. Net chargeoffs of the Bank totaled $230 thousand$2.9 million and $45$297 thousand during the quarters ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, or 0.04%0.43% and 0.01%0.05%, respectively, of average Bank loans. Holiday Financial Services Corporation, the Corporation’s consumer discount company, recorded net chargeoffs totaling $434$483 thousand and $523$410 thousand during the quarters ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At the Bank during the third quarter, management charged-off an impaired, fully reserved, commercial mortgage loan of $2.6 million. The loan had been impaired and non-accrual for a few years and operations of the underlying property continued to deteriorate making any value from liquidation unlikely.


Management believes the provision for loan losses was appropriate and the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in our portfolio as of March 31,September 30, 2019.


NON-INTEREST INCOME

There were no net realized gains on available-for-sale securities during the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Net realized and unrealized gains on trading securities were $197 thousand during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to $421 thousand during the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Excluding the effects of securities gains discussed above, non-interest income was $6.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to $5.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, reflecting an increase of $567 thousand, or 10.3%.



The increase in non-interest income was driven mostly by Wealth and Asset Management fees increasing $207 thousand, or 20.1%, primarily as a result of growth in assets under management, coupled with an increase of $125 thousand, or 44.2%, in mortgage banking fees. Finally, as a result of the continued organic deposit growth service charges on deposit accounts increased $92 thousand, or 5.8%, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Total non-interest expenses were $21.4 million and $20.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Salaries and benefits expense increased $204 thousand, or 1.8%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018, primarily as a result of the expansion of staffing levels in several areas, including business development, risk management and customer service personnel. The remainder of the increase in non-interest expenses was primarily a result of the Corporation's continued growth and the servicing of a larger customer base. Total households serviced at September 30, 2019 were 67,623, compared to 62,854 households at September 30, 2018, reflecting an increase of 7.6% resulting from our core deposit growth strategies in the Private Banking division and the Buffalo market, thereby further enhancing their value contributions to the Corporation. Accordingly, the ratio of non-interest expenses to average assets was 2.46% and 2.69% during the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Going forward, we intend to continue to invest in risk management and customer service resources to support the Corporation’s growth.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense was $2.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $1.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018, resulting in effective tax rates of 17.9% and 15.4%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the Corporation’s growth being generated by taxable activities. The effective rates for the periods differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% at September 30, 2019 and 2018 principally as a result of tax exempt income from securities and loans, as well as earnings from bank owned life insurance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The Corporation’s accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the financial services industry. Accounting and reporting practices for the allowance for loan losses and fair value of securities are deemed critical since they involve the use of estimates and require significant management judgments. In addition, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations, including the associated goodwill that was recorded, required the use of material estimates. Application of assumptions different than those used by management could result in material changes in the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations. Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), Note 2 (Business Combination and Branch Sale), Note 4 (Securities), and Note 5 (Loans) of the Corporation’s 2018 Form 10-K provide additional detail with regard to the Corporation’s accounting for the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of securities, business combinations and loans. As of January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted certain accounting standard updates related to accounting for leases (Topic 842 - Leases), primarily ASU 2016-02 and subsequent updates. Please refer to Note 10 (Leases) above for additional detail on the requirements and impact to the Corporation's financial statements. There have been no other significant changes in the application of accounting policies since December 31, 2018.



ITEM 3


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


As a financial institution, the Corporation’s primary source of market risk is interest rate risk, which is the exposure to fluctuations in the Corporation’s future earnings resulting from changes in interest rates. This exposure is correlated to the repricing characteristics of the Corporation’s portfolio of assets and liabilities. Each asset or liability reprices either at maturity or during the life of the instrument.


The principal purpose of asset/liability management is to maximize current and future net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Net interest income is enhanced by increasing the net interest margin and the growth in earning assets. As a result, the primary goal of interest rate risk management is to maintain a balance between risk and reward such that net interest income is maximized while risk is maintained at an acceptable level.


The Corporation uses an asset-liability management model to measure the effect of interest rate changes on its net interest income. The Corporation’s management also reviews asset-liability maturity gap and repricing analyses regularly. The Corporation does not always attempt to achieve a precise match between interest sensitive assets and liabilities because it believes that an actively managed amount of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate in the management of the Corporation’s profitability.


Asset-liability modeling techniques and simulation involve assumptions and estimates that inherently cannot be measured with precision. Key assumptions in these analyses include maturity and repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities, prepayments on amortizing assets, non-maturing deposit sensitivity, and loan and deposit pricing. These assumptions are inherently uncertain due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors. However, the analyses are useful in quantifying risk and provide a relative gauge of the Corporation’s interest rate risk position over time.


Management reviews interest rate risk on a quarterly basis and reports to the ALCO. This review includes earnings shock scenarios whereby interest rates are immediately increased and decreased by 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. These scenarios, detailed in the table below, indicate that there would not be a significant variance in net interest income over a one-year period due to interest rate changes; however, actual results could vary significantly. At March 31,September 30, 2019, all interest rate risk levels according to the model were within the tolerance limits of ALCO-approved policy. In addition, the table does not take into consideration changes that management would make to realign its assets and liabilities in the event of an unexpected changing interest rate environment. Due to the current low interest rate environment, the 300 and 400 basis point declining interest rate scenarios have been excluded from the table.
