ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The significant accounting policies used by Enterprise Financial Services Corp (the "Company"“Company,” “EFSC,” or "Enterprise"“Enterprise”) in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized below:


Business and Consolidation


Enterprise is a financial holding company that provides a full range of banking and wealth management services to individuals and corporate customers located in the St. Louis,Arizona, Kansas, City,Missouri, and Phoenix metropolitanNew Mexico markets through its banking subsidiary, Enterprise Bank & Trust (the "Bank"“Bank”).


Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2018.2019. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company'sCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Basis of Financial Statement Presentation


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("(“U.S. GAAP"GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value through earnings, and eliminates the available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The guidance also provides an alternative to measure equity securities without readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus observable price changes from an identical or similar investment of the same issuer (the “measurement alternative”). The Company elected the measurement alternative for its qualifying equity securities. The adoption of this update resulted in an insignificant increase to retained earnings which was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income.

In addition, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" during the first quarter of 2018.The objective of ASU 2017-12 is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships by better aligning an entity's risk management activity with the economic objectives in undertaking those activities. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company also early adopted ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" during the first quarter of 2018. The ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which among other things, reduced the maximum federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The adoption of this update resulted in an increase to retained earnings of $0.8 million which was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income.


In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flow for the interim periods.



Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


Revenue

The Company adopted the accounting standard regarding revenue recognition inDuring the first quarter of 2018 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period of certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” using the modified retrospective approach.optional transition method effective on January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires organizations that lease assets to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases. The Company'sCompany recorded $15.5 million for right-to-use assets and $16.2 million for lease liabilities related to operating leases. The Company elected the practical expedients package which eliminates (1) the need to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease, (2) the need to reassess the lease classification, and (3) the need to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected an accounting policy to not recognize assets and liabilities on leases 12 months or less, and an accounting policy for equipment and real estate leases to not separate nonlease components because the impact was immaterial.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions and business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entities have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. 



The purchase price allocation process requires an estimation of the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the Company includes an estimate of the acquisition-date fair value as part of the cost of the combination. To determine the fair values, the Company utilizes third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Merger-related costs are costs the Company incurs to effect a business combination. The Company presents merger-related expenses as a separate component of noninterest expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Merger-related expenses include costs directly related to merger or acquisition activity and include legal and professional fees, system consolidation and conversion costs, gain or loss on sale of investment securities incurred through repositioning the acquired investment portfolio, and compensation costs such as severance and retention incentives for employees impacted by acquisition activity. The Company accounts for merger-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.

Revenue

The Company’s revenues are primarily composed of interest income on financial instruments, including investment securities, which are excluded from the scope of the new guidance. Certain othersecurities. Other noninterest income from loans, investment securities and derivative financial instruments is also excluded from this guidance. Serviceprimarily comprised of service charges on deposit accounts, wealth management revenue, card services revenue and gaingains on sale of other real estate are within the scope of the guidance; however, there were no accounting policy changes as the Company's policies were consistent with the new guidance. Other noninterest income sources of revenue are considered immaterial. Implementation of this guidance did not change current business practices or have any changes to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
estate. Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities, within the scope of this guidance, which are presented in our income statement as components of noninterest income, are as follows:
Service charges on deposit accounts - represents fees generated from a variety of deposit products and services provided to customers under a day-to-day contract. These fees are recognized on a daily or monthly basis.
Wealth management revenue - represents monthly fees earned from directing, holding, and managing customers’ assets. Revenue is recognized over regular intervals, either monthly or quarterly.
Card services revenue - represents revenue earned from merchant, debit and credit cards as incurred and includes a contra revenue account for rebates.
Gain on sale of other real estate - represents income recognized at delivery of control of a property at the time of a real estate closing.


Income TaxesLeases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on our consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Assumptions and judgments are used in applying ASC 842 and may include (1) the decision framework for identifying a lease, (2) the accounting policy election for equipment and real estate leases to not separate nonlease components, and (3) the discount rate for determining the initial present value of the lease payments which is based on information available at the commencement date for determining the lease term and assessing if optional periods are reasonably likely to be exercised. For the calculation at January 1, 2019, the discount rate was based on the remaining lease terms.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how


and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

The SEC staff issued SAB 118, which provides guidanceCompany records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the tax effectsfair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the Tax Cutsderivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”). SAB 118 providesapply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspectshedge of the Act for whichexposure to changes in the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extentfair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a company’s accounting for certain income tax effectsparticular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is ableexposure to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimatevariability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the financial statements. Iffair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a company cannot determinefair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a provisional estimatecash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to be included ineconomically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or the financial statements, it should continueCompany elects not to apply ASC 740 onhedge accounting.

The Company does not offset derivative asset and liability positions. However, the basisCompany's exposure to the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments is generally mitigated by master netting agreements with its counterparties. 

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the provisionsSecured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) replace LIBOR. ARRC has proposed the transition to SOFR from LIBOR until the end of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.2021. The Company has material contracts indexed to LIBOR. Industry organizations are currently working on the transition plan. The Company is monitoring this activity and evaluating the risks involved.



NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION

Acquisition of Trinity Capital Corporation.
On March 8, 2019, the Company closed its acquisition of 100% of Trinity Capital Corporation (“Trinity”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Los Alamos National Bank (“LANB”). Trinity operated 6 full-service retail and commercial banking offices in Los Alamos, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Trinity shareholders received cash consideration of $1.84 per share of Trinity common stock and 0.1972 shares of EFSC common stock per share of Trinity common stock with cash in lieu of fractional shares. Aggregate consideration at closing was 4.0 million shares of EFSC common stock and $37.3 million cash paid to Trinity shareholders. Based on EFSC’s closing stock price of $43.07 on March 7, 2019, the overall transaction had a value of $209.2 million. The Company recognized $18.0 million and $1.3 million of merger-related costs recorded amountsin noninterest expense in the statement of operations for the effectsnine months ended September 30, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

The acquisition of Trinity has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the Tax Act using reasonable estimates based on currently available informationacquisition date. Goodwill of $93.9 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and its interpretations thereof. This accounting may change dueeconomies of scale expected from combining the operations of Trinity into Enterprise. The goodwill is assigned as part of the Company’s Banking reporting unit. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to among other things, changes in interpretations the Company has made and the issuance of newbe deductible for income tax or accounting guidance.purposes.

The unrealized losses at both September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, were primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates since the securities were purchased. Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include among other considerations (1) the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected compared to the amortized cost of the security, (2) duration and magnitude of the decline in value, (3) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers, (4) structure of the security, and (5) the intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not the Company would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value. At September 30, 2018,2019, management performed its quarterly analysis of all securities with an unrealized loss and concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, payment experience, credit documentation, and current economic factors among other factors. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Grades 1, 2, and 3 – Includes loans to borrowers with a continuous record of strong earnings, sound balance sheet condition and capitalization, ample liquidity with solid cash flow, and whose management team has experience and depth within their industry.
Grade 4 – Includes loans to borrowers with positive trends in profitability, satisfactory capitalization and balance sheet condition, and sufficient liquidity and cash flow.
Grade 5 – Includes loans to borrowers that may display fluctuating trends in sales, profitability, capitalization, liquidity, and cash flow.
Grade 6 – Includes loans to borrowers where an adverse change or perceived weakness has occurred, but may be correctable in the near future. Alternatively, this rating category may also include circumstances where the borrower is starting to reverse a negative trend or condition, or has recently been upgraded from a 7, 8, or 9 rating.
Grade 7 – Watch credits are borrowers that have experienced financial setback of a nature that is not determined to be severe or influence ‘ongoing concern’ expectations. Although possible, no loss is anticipated, due to strong collateral and/or guarantor support.
Grade 8Substandard credits include those borrowers characterized by significant losses and sustained downward trends in balance sheet condition, liquidity, and cash flow. Repayment reliance may have shifted to secondary sources. Collateral exposure may exist and additional reserves may be warranted.
Grade 9Doubtful credits include borrowers that may show deteriorating trends that are unlikely to be corrected. Collateral values may appear insufficient for full recovery, therefore requiring a partial charge-off, or debt renegotiation with the borrower. The borrower may have declared bankruptcy or bankruptcy is likely in the near term. All doubtful rated credits will be on non-accrual.
Grades 1, 2, and 3 – Includes loans to borrowers with a continuous record of strong earnings, sound balance sheet condition and capitalization, ample liquidity with solid cash flow, and whose management team has experience and depth within their industry.
Grade 4 – Includes loans to borrowers with positive trends in profitability, satisfactory capitalization and balance sheet condition, and sufficient liquidity and cash flow.
Grade 5 – Includes loans to borrowers that may display fluctuating trends in sales, profitability, capitalization, liquidity, and cash flow.
Grade 6 – Includes loans to borrowers where an adverse change or perceived weakness has occurred, but may be correctable in the near future. Alternatively, this rating category may also include circumstances where the borrower is starting to reverse a negative trend or condition, or has recently been upgraded from a 7, 8, or 9 rating.
Grade 7 – Watch credits are borrowers that have experienced financial setback of a nature that is not determined to be severe or influence ‘ongoing concern’ expectations. Although possible, no loss is anticipated, due to strong collateral and/or guarantor support.

NOTE 57 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


The Company issues financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of the business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.


The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.


The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2018,2019, the amount of unadvanced commitments on impaired loans was insignificant.


The contractual amounts of off-balance-sheet financial instruments as of September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, are as follows:
(in thousands)September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk


Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments usually have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, may have


significant usage restrictions, and may require payment of a fee. Of the total commitments to extend credit at September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, approximately $91.8$128.4 million and $112.0$68.5 million, respectively, represent fixed rate loan commitments. Since certain of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon or may be revoked, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and real estate. Other liabilities includes $0.4 million for estimated losses attributable to the unadvanced commitments at September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017.2018.


Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance or payment of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loans to customers. As of September 30, 2018,2019, the approximate remaining terms of standby letters of credit range from 1 month to 35 years and 3 months.


Contingencies


The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to various legal proceedings arising out of their businesses. Management believes there are no such proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.



NOTE 68 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a party to variouswide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments usedto manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the normal coursereceipt or payment of businessfuture known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to meetmanage differences in the needsamount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its clients and as part of its risk management activities. These instruments include interest rate swap agreements and option contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts.known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.


Hedging Instruments. At September 30, 2018,Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company had no outstanding derivative contracts used to manage risk.

Client-Related Derivative Instruments. The Company enters intoprimarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During 2019, such derivatives were used to allowhedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. These cash flow hedges swap variable 90 day LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.62% on average for an average term of six years.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are paid on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.5 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

Non-designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not considered speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in fair value of certain loans while maintaining a variable rate loan on its own books. The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with clients, and enters into offsetting foreign exchange forward contracts with established financial institution counterparties. The table below summarizes the notional amounts and fair values of the client-related derivative instruments:

Other investments. At September 30, 2018, of the $37.9 million of other investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, approximately $0.2 million were carried at fair value. The remaining $37.7 million of other investments were accounted for at cost. Other investments reported at fair value represent equity securities with quoted market prices (Level 1).
State tax credits held for sale. At September 30, 2018, of the $45.6 million of state tax credits held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, approximately $0.1 million were carried at fair value. The remaining $45.5 million of state tax credits were accounted for at cost.
The Company is not aware of an active market that exists for the 10-year streams of state tax credit financial instruments. However, the Company’s principal market for these tax credits consists of Missouri state residents who buy these credits and local and regional accounting firms who broker them. As such, the Company employed a discounted cash flow analysis (income approach) to determine fair value.
The remaining state tax credits carried at fair value are expected to be sold within the next several quarters. The state tax credit assets are reported as Level 3 assets.
Derivatives. Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains counterparty quotations to value its interest rate swaps. In addition, the Company validates the counterparty quotations with third party valuation sources. Derivatives with negative fair values are included in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives with positive fair value are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans. Fair values for impaired loans are obtained from current appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers or independent valuation specialists. At September 30, 2018, impaired loans measured on a non-recurring basis had a principal balance of $0.7 million, with a valuation allowance of $0.2 million.

Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value upon foreclosure of the underlying loan. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value of other real estate is based upon the current appraised values of the properties as determined by qualified licensed appraisers and the Company’s judgment of other relevant market conditions.




Following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017. Fair values that are not estimable are listed at the carrying value.2018.

NOTE 812 - NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE


Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") ASU 2018-15 "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement" In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, which amends ASC 350-402 to address a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (CCA) that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a CCA that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Specifically, the ASU amends ASC 350 to include in its scope implementation costs of a CCA that is a service contract and clarifies that a customer should apply ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs should be capitalized in a CCA that is considered a service contract. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption being permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not yet determined the impact this standard may have on its consolidated balance sheets.

FASB ASU 2018-13 "Fair“Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" Measurement” In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The amendments in this ASU are the result of a broader disclosure project called FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which the Board finalized on August 28, 2018. The Board used the guidance in the Concepts Statement, including consideration of costs and benefits, to improve the effectiveness of


ASC 820’s disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. 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. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company has selected the option to adopt the removal or modification of disclosures during the second quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidanceadditional disclosures and has not yet determined the impact this standard may have on its consolidated balance sheets.

FASB ASU 2018-11 "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements" In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard, ASU 2016-02 (codified as ASC 842). Specifically, under the amendments in ASU 2018-11 (1)entities may elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to ASC 842 (2) lessors may elect not to separate lease and nonlease components when certain conditions are met. The Company intends to utilize the optional transition method and apply the new leases standard at the adoption date of January 1, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact of separating lease and nonlease components on its financial statements.


FASB ASU 2017-08 "Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities" In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20)" which shortens the amortization period of certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption being permitted. The Company has evaluated the new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2018, the book value of callable bonds purchased at a premium totaled $22.0 million, and the amount of unamortized premium remaining on these securities was $0.7 million.

FASB ASU 2016-13 "Financial“Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments"Instruments” In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial“Financial Instruments (Topic 326)" which changes the methodology for evaluating impairment of most financial instruments. The ASU replaces the currently used incurred loss model with a forward-looking expected loss model, which will generally result in a more timely recognition of losses. Existing PCI assets will be grandfathered and classified as purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) assets at the date of adoption. The PCD assets will be grossed up for the allowance for expected credit losses at the date of adoption and the noncredit discount will continue to be recognized in interest income based on the yield of such assets as of the adoption date. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses on PCD assets will be recorded through the allowance. The guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has formed an implementation team that includes members of accounting, credit, and loan operations to review the requirements of ASU 2016-13, and has contracted with a software provider to aid in implementation. The Company has not yet determinedassessed its data and system needs, implemented a model validation process, selected portfolio segmentations and loss methodologies, and is continuing to refine forecast inputs and documentation of the end-to-end process. While the impact of adopting this standard may have on its financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)" In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" which requires organizations that lease assets ("lessees") to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee remains dependent on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The criteria for determining whether a lease is a finance or operating lease has not been significantly changed by this ASU. The ASU also requires additional disclosure offully determined, the amount, timing,Company will recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the Company notes the following trends:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, the Company noted the following trends:

The Company reportedhad net income of $29.1 million and $63.6 million, respectively, compared to $22.5 million and $65.7 million orin the prior year periods. Earnings per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $1.08 and $2.45 per diluted share, respectively, and $0.97 and $2.81 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $40.7 million, or $1.75same periods in 2018. Net income and


earnings per diluted share for the same period in 2017. The $1.06 increase in earnings per share primarily increasedfirst nine months of 2019 were impacted from growth in$18.0 million pretax ($14.0 million after tax), of merger-related expenses compared to the balance sheet resulting from organic loan and deposit growth, fee income growth, and corporate tax reform.prior year period.


On a core basisExcluding the impact of merger-related expenses, the adjusted return on average assets1net income grew 42% to $59.7 million, or $2.56 per diluted share,adjusted return on average common equity1, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity1 were 1.54%, 13.42%, and 18.50%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $41.9 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The diluted core earnings per share1 increase of $0.75 continues to be driven by revenue growth, which expanded $17.7 million, or 12%.2019.


Net interest income for the firstthree and nine months of 2018ended September 30, 2019 increased $11.4$15.0 million or 9%, fromand $35.8 million over the prior year period due to strong portfolioperiods. The acquisition of Trinity along with organic loan growth and a higher average yield partially offset by an expanded investment portfolio supported the increase in cost of funds and a reduction in incremental accretion on non-core acquired loans.net interest income over the prior year periods.


NetThe net interest margin for both the firstthree and nine months of 2018 decreased nine basis points to 3.78% when compared toended September 30, 2019 expanded over the prior year period of 3.87%. Core net interest margin1, which excludes incremental accretion on non-core acquired loans, increased three basis points to 3.74% for the first nine months of 2018 from the prior year periodperiods, primarily due to the impact of interest rate increases on portfolio loans out-pacing the increase in deposit and borrowing costs.costs and the addition of Trinity’s lower-cost deposit portfolio. Core net interest margin,1 which excludes incremental accretion on non-core acquired loans, increased two basis points to 3.76% for the first nine months of 2019 from the prior year period, and decreased five basis points to 3.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from the prior year period. The decline in core net interest margin during the third quarter of 2019 over the prior year period was primarily caused by the reduction in short-term rates during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, the overall mix of interest-earning assets negatively impacted net interest margin due to a larger investment portfolio.


Noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $5.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to contributions from Trinity of approximately $2.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, primarily related to wealth management and card services revenue. Tax credit income also contributed to the increase in both periods.

Noninterest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $8.3 million and $38.8 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2019 reflects the ongoing operating expenses from the Trinity acquisition, including planned cost savings from the transaction. The increase in the first nine months of 2019 was primarily due to merger-related expenses of $18.0 million and increased operating expenses following the closing of the Trinity acquisition, most notably in employee compensation and benefits.

Balance sheet highlights:

Loans – Total loans increased to $5.2 billion at September 30, 2019, increasing $878.0 million when compared to December 31, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Trinity along with growth in the commercial and industrial (“C&I”), commercial real estate (“CRE”), and life insurance premium finance categories, partially offset by paydowns outpacing growth in the other categories.
Deposits – Total deposits at September 30, 2019 were $5.6 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion, from December 31, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Trinity. Core deposits, defined as total deposits excluding time deposits, were $4.8 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $900.8 million, or 23% when compared to December 31, 2018. The ratio of noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits was relatively stable at 23% at September 30, 2019, compared to 24% at December 31, 2018.
Asset quality – Nonperforming loans were $15.6 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $16.7 million at December 31, 2018. Nonperforming loans represented 0.30% and 0.38% of total loans at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The provision for loan losses was $1.8 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $2.3 million and $4.5 million for the prior year periods, respectively.

Noninterest expense was $88.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $86.8 million for the comparable period in 2017. Noninterest expense for the 2017 period included $6.5 million of merger related expenses. Core noninterest expense1 was $87.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $79.8 million for the prior year period primarily due to increases in compensation and benefit expense from investments in revenue producing personnel, tax credit amortization of $2.0 million, and other operating expenses from the acquisition of JCB.

(1) Change in volume multiplied by yield/rate of prior period.
(2) Change in yield/rate multiplied by volume of prior period.
(3) Nontaxable income is presented on a fully-taxtax equivalent basis using the combined statutory federal and state income tax rate in effect for each tax year.
NOTE: The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.


Net interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased 31% and 26%, respectively, over the prior year periods primarily from higher loan and investment volumes. Loan and investment volumes benefited from the Trinity acquisition and organic growth in the loan portfolio. In addition to an increase in interest rates in the current-year periods that positively impacted net interest income, incremental accretion on non-core acquired loans also contributed to the increase. The increase in incremental accretion was $48.3 milliondue to successful loan workouts on several non-core acquired loans.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.81% and 3.85% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 3.78% in both the prior year periods. The net interest margin benefited from the impact of interest rate increases on the Company's asset sensitive balance sheet and the incremental accretion on non-core acquired loans. While the overall yield on interest-earning assets increased in 2019 over the prior year periods, short-term interest rates at September 30, 2019 have declined from September 30, 2018. An increase in the investment portfolio in 2019 over 2018 has contributed to growth in net interest income, but the shift in earning assets between loans and investments has also reduced the net interest margin. Total investments were 22% of average interest earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared to $46.0 million for the same period of 2017, an increase of $2.3 million, or 5%. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.78% for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 3.88%16% in the third quarter of 2017. Portfolio loan growth and higher rates supported the $8.1 million increase in interest income over the prior year period. The yield on taxable portfolio loansPartially offsetting the increase from earning assets was the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities that increased 44seven basis points from the prior year period to 5.11%and 28 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, due to increasing interest rates on the existing variable-rate loan portfolio and higher rates on newly originated loans. The run-off of higher yielding non-core acquired loans continues to negatively impact net interest margin and resulted in a $1.2 million decrease in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 20182019, respectively, compared to the prior year period.periods. The increase

Net interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) was $141.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $131.3 million for the same period of 2017, an increase of $10.7 million, or 8%. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 3.87% for the prior year period. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to a decline in contributions from non-core acquired


assets. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to increasing interest rates on the existing variable-rate loan portfolio and higher rates on newly originated loans.

Core net interest margin1 expanded three basis points from the prior year to 3.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to loan growth improving the earning asset mix, combined with an increased yield on portfolio loans out-pacing the increase to borrowing costs. The increase in the interest rate paid on deposits reflects market interest rate trends, as the Company continues to defend existing and attract new core deposit relationships. Deposit pricing adjustments typically lag market movements in interest rates. While short-term interest rates have declined in 2019, the impact of these declines has not yet been reflected in the cost of deposits. The Company continueshas $3.5 billion in money market and interest-bearing deposit accounts which experienced an increase in yield over the past several quarters as interest rates have risen. Within those categories, we have approximately $600 million directly indexed to managefederal funds. In addition, there are other wholesale and brokered funds that have and will continue to adjust with the federal funds rate and other indices.

The Company manages its balance sheet to grow core net interest income and expects to maintaindefend against pressures on core net interest margin, over the coming quarters as growthwhich could be negatively impacted by continued competition for deposits, current interest rate conditions, and downward movement in loan yields balance rising deposit prices. However, pressure on funding costs could hinder the expected trends in core net interest margin.short-term rates.

The contractual amount of interest is included in the Company's core results. At September 30, 2018, the remaining accretable yield on the remaining non-core acquired portfolio was estimated to be $9 million and the non-accretable difference was approximately $10 million. Accelerated cash flows and other incremental accretion from these loans was $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and $5.2 million for the same period in 2017. The Company estimates income from accelerated cash flows and other incremental accretion to be between $2 million and $3 million in total for 2018 and 2019.

The current year period includes a $0.7 million non-recurring excise tax expense which was offset by lower income tax expenses discussed below. Noninterest expenses for the 2017 period included $6.5 million of merger related expenses. Core noninterest expenses1 increased $7.8 million to $87.6 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018.

Reduced excess tax benefits from the vesting of stock-based compensation and nondeductible merger-related expenses in 2019 contributed to the increase in the effective tax rate in 2019. Additionally, tax credit investments and a tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2018 upon the finalization of the 2017 tax return benefited the prior year period, and reflects continuing efforts to leverage its expense base. The Company expects to continue to invest in revenue producing associates and other infrastructure that supports additional growth.

These loans are sourced through relationships developed with estate planning firms and private equity funds, and are not bound geographically by our traditional threefour markets. These specialized loan products offer opportunities to expand and diversify geographically by entering into new markets. The Company continues to focus on originating high-quality C&I relationships, as they typically have variable interest rates and allow for cross selling opportunities involving other banking products. C&I loans increased $114 million during the first nine months of 2018 and represented 48% of the Company's loan portfolio at September 30, 2018. We expect continued total portfolio loan growth, in 2018 and 2019coupled with typically fixed-rate CRE lending, supports management’s efforts to bemaintain a high single digit percentage.flexible asset sensitive interest rate risk position.

The provision for loan losses on portfolio loans for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 20182019was $6.6$1.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, compared to $7.6$2.3 million and $4.5 million for same periodperiods in 2017.2018, respectively. The provision is reflective of loan growth and charge-offs in portfolio loan balances, and maintaining a prudent credit risk posture.the period.





The allowance for loan losses on portfolio loans was 0.99%0.85% of portfolio loans at September 30, 2018,2019, compared to 0.97%1.04% at September 30, 2017. 2018. The decrease in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was primarily due to the acquisition of Trinity loans that were recorded at fair value and did not have a corresponding allowance for loan losses. The Company recorded a credit mark on the Trinity loan portfolio of $24.4 million at acquisition.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.2 million to $15.6 million at September 30, 2019 from $16.7 million at December 31, 2018. Net charge-offs in 2019, that contributed to the decline in nonperforming loans, are comprised primarily of two loan relationships identified as nonperforming loans at the end of 2018. The charge-off of these loans did not significantly impact the provision for loan losses, as the credits were specifically reserved at the end of 2018.

Other real estate increased in 2019 primarily due to the foreclosure of a $5.4 million commercial property that was a purchased credit impaired loan from our acquisition of Jefferson County Bancshares Inc., along with the addition of 15 properties with the acquisition of Trinity totaling $4.5 million. The foreclosure of the commercial property did not result in a write-down of the asset. These additions were partially offset by other real estate sales of $4.3 million.

Liabilities totaled $4.9$6.5 billion at September 30, 2018,2019, compared to $4.7$5.0 billion at December 31, 2017.2018. The increase in liabilities was due to $54 million$1.0 billion of growth in total deposits primarily attributable to the acquisition of Trinity and a $228$391.4 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, partially offset by a decrease of $92$23.8 million in other borrowings.borrowings and notes payable. The increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances supported the increase in the investment portfolio, the reduction in higher-cost other borrowings and the Company’s share repurchase plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Liquidity


The objective of liquidity management is to ensure we have the ability to generate sufficient cash or cash equivalents in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet our commitments as they become due. Typical demands on liquidity are run-off from demand deposits, maturing time deposits which are not renewed, and fundings under credit commitments


to customers. Funds are available from a number of sources, such as from the core deposit base and from loans and securities repayments and maturities.


Additionally, liquidity is provided from sales of the securities portfolio, fed fund lines with correspondent banks, borrowings from the Federal Reserve and the FHLB, the ability to acquire large and brokered deposits, and the ability to sell loan participations to other banks. These alternatives are an important part of our liquidity plan and provide flexibility and efficient execution of the asset-liability management strategy.


The Bank'sBank’s Asset-Liability Management Committee oversees our liquidity position, the parameters of which are approved by the Bank'sBank’s Board of Directors.Our liquidity position is monitored monthly by producing a liquidity report, which measuresmeasuring the amount of liquid versus non-liquid assets and liabilities. Ourliquidity management framework


includes measurement of several key elements, such as the loan to deposit ratio, a liquidity ratio, and a dependency ratio. The Company'sCompany’s liquidity framework also incorporates contingency planning to assess the nature and volatility of funding sources and to determine alternatives to these sources. While core deposits and loan and investment repayments are principal sources of liquidity, funding diversification is another key element of liquidity management and is achieved by strategically varying depositor types, terms, funding markets, and instruments.


Parent Company liquidity
The parent company'scompany’s liquidity is managed to provide the funds necessary to pay dividends to shareholders, service debt, invest in subsidiaries as necessary, and satisfy other operating requirements. The parent company'scompany’s primary funding sources to meet its liquidity requirements are dividends and payments from the Bank and proceeds from the issuance of equity (i.e. stock option exercises, stock offerings). $22.5 million in dividends has been paid to the parent company from the Bank in 2018. Another source of funding for the parent company includes the issuance of subordinated debentures and other debt instruments.


The Company has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 registering up to $100 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, and various other securities, including combinations of such securities. The Company'sCompany’s ability to offer securities pursuant to the registration statement depends on market conditions and the Company'sCompany’s continuing eligibility to use the Form S-3 under rules of the SEC.


On November 1, 2016, the Company issued $50 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a maturity date of November 1, 2026, which initially bear an annual interest rate of 4.75%, with interest payable semiannually. Beginning November 1, 2021, the interest rate resets quarterly to the three-month LIBOR rate plus a spread of 338.7 basis points, payable quarterly.


The Company has a senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Agreement"“Revolving Agreement”) with another bank allowing for borrowings up to $20$25 million which is renewed throughthat matures in February 2019.2020. The proceeds can be used for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as specified financial covenants. As of September 30, 2018,2019, there were nowas $1 million outstanding balances under the Revolving Agreement.


The Company has a five-year term note for $40 million that matures in March 2024. The Company principally used the proceeds from the issuance of the note to fund the cash consideration at the closing of the acquisition of Trinity.

As of September 30, 2018,2019, the Company had $69.2$92 million of outstanding subordinated debentures as part of ten Trust Preferred Securities Pools.13 statutory trusts which includes $23 million acquired in the Trinity acquisition. These securitiesdebentures are classified as debt but are included in regulatory capital and the related interest expense is tax-deductible, which makes them an attractive source of funding.


Management believes our current level of cash at the holding company of $16.5$6 million, along with the Company'sCompany’s other available funding sources, will be sufficient to meet all projected cash needs for the remainder of 2018.2019.



Bank liquidity
The Bank has a variety of funding sources available to increase financial flexibility. In addition to amounts currently borrowed, at September 30, 2018,2019, the Bank had borrowing capacity of $266.2$532 million from the FHLB of Des Moines under blanket loan pledges, and has an additional $1.1$1 billion available from the Federal Reserve Bank under a pledged loan agreement. The Bank has unsecured federal funds lines with six correspondent banks totaling $95.0$90 million, and $79.0$296 million of unsecured credit through the American Financial Exchange.


Investment securities are another important tool toin managing the Bank'sBank’s liquidity objectives. Total securities available for sale of $670.3 millionSecurities totaled $1.3 billion at September 30, 2018,2019, and included $352.4$416 million of securities that were pledged as collateral for deposits of public institutions, treasury, loan notes, and other requirements. The remaining $317.9$893 million could be pledged or sold to enhance liquidity, if necessary. In addition, $51.5 million of unpledged held to maturity securities could also be pledged for liquidity purposes.


In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through the Bank'sBank’s various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of the


Company's Company’s liquidity. The Bank has $1.4$1.5 billion in unused commitments as of September 30, 2018. While this commitment level would exhaust the majority of the Company's current liquidity resources, the2019. The nature of these commitments is such that the likelihood of funding them in the aggregate at any one time is low.


Capital Resources


The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its bank affiliate must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The banking affiliate’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total, Tier 1, and common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, banks must maintain minimum total risk-based (10%), Tier 1 risk-based (8%), common equity tier 1 risk-based (6.5%), and Tier 1 leverage ratios (5%). As of September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
 
The Bank continues to exceed regulatory standards and met the definition of “well-capitalized” (the highest category) at September 30, 2018. The Company adopted the Regulatory Capital Framework (Basel III) in 2015, and has implemented the necessary processes and procedures to comply.2019.

A reconciliation has been included in this MD&A section under the caption "Use“Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."




Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:


The Company'sCompany’s accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, the Company provides other financial measures, such as core net income and net interest margin, and other core performance measures, regulatory capitalefficiency ratios, return on average assets, return on average equity, and the tangible common equity ratio, in this report that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures.” Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company'scompany’s financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company considers its core net interest margin, core efficiency ratio, return on average assets, return on average equity, and return on average tangible common equity, collectively “core performance measures, presented in this report and the included tables as important measures of financial performance, even though they are non-GAAP measures, as they provide supplemental information by which to evaluate the impact of non-core acquired loans, which were acquired from the FDIC and previously covered by loss share agreements, and the related income and expenses, the impact of certain non-comparable items, and the Company'sCompany’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. Core performance measures include contractual interest on non-core acquired loans, but exclude incremental accretion on these loans. Core performance measures also exclude the gain or loss on sale of other real estate from non-core acquired loans, deferred tax asset revaluation due to U.S. corporate income tax reform, and expenses directly related to non-core acquired loans and other assets formerly covered under FDIC loss share agreements.loans. Core performance measures also exclude certain other income and expense items, such as executive separation costs, merger relatedmerger-related expenses, facilities disposal and the gain or loss on sale of investment securities, the Company believes to be not indicative of or useful to measure the Company'sCompany’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. The attached tables contain a reconciliation of these core performance measures to the GAAP measures. The Company believes that the tangible common equity ratio provides useful information to investors about the Company'sCompany’s capital strength even though it is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and is not part of the regulatory capital requirements to which the Company is subject.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company'sCompany’s performance and capital strength. The Company'sCompany’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing the Company'sCompany’s operating results and related trends and when forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the following tables, the Company has provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure for the periods indicated.

Critical Accounting Policies


The impact and any associated risks related to the Company'sCompany’s critical accounting policies on business operations are described throughout "Management's“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed description on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the Company'sCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.






ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by the section captioned “Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” included in Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this report.


Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk management practices are aimed at optimizing net interest income, while guarding against deterioration that could be caused by certain interest rate scenarios. Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We attempt to maintain interest-earning assets, comprised primarily of both loans and investments, and interest-bearing liabilities, comprised primarily of deposits, maturing or repricing in similar time horizons in order to minimize or eliminate any impact from market interest rate changes. In order to measure earnings sensitivity to changing rates, the Company uses an earnings simulation model.


The Company determines the sensitivity of its short-term future earnings to a hypothetical plus or minus 100 to 300 basis point parallel rate shock through the use of simulation modeling.modeling (due to the current level of interest rates, the 300 basis point downward shock scenario is not shown in the table below.) The simulation of earnings includes the modeling of the balance sheet as an ongoing entity. Future business assumptions involving administered rate products, prepayments for future rate-sensitive balances, and the reinvestment of maturing assets and liabilities are included. These items are then modeled to project net interest income based on a hypothetical change in interest rates. The resulting net interest income for the next 12-month period is compared to the net interest income amount calculated using flat rates. This difference represents the Company'sCompany’s earnings sensitivity to a plus or minus 100 basis points parallel rate shock.


The following table summarizes the expected impact of interest rate shocks on net interest income (due to the current level of interest rates, the 200 and 300 basis point downward shock scenarios are not shown):

income:
Rate Shock
Annual % change
in net interest income
+ 300 bp5.2%6.0%
+ 200 bp3.5%4.1%
+ 100 bp1.8%2.3%
 - 100 bp(2.7)(3.8)%
 - 200 bp(7.6)%


In addition to the rate shocks shown in the table above, the Company models net interest income under various dynamic
interest rate scenarios. Therefore,Generally, positive changes in rates result in higher levels of net interest income, while scenarios based on declining rates, particularly those involving decreases in long-term rates, result in reduced net interest income.


At September 30, 2019, models resulting in a steeper yield curve through a reduction in short-term rates over a 12-month horizon, as well as those based on stable short-term and modestly lower long-term rates, all result in a marginal decrease to net interest income over a one-year forecast.

At September 30, 2019, the Company had $2.5 billion in variable rate loans that are based on LIBOR and $0.4 million that are based on Prime. Approximately 80% of the LIBOR based loans are indexed to one-month LIBOR.

The Company occasionally uses interest rate derivative financial instruments as an asset/liability management tool to hedge mismatches in interest rate exposure indicated by the net interest income simulation described above. They are used to modify the Company'sCompany’s exposures to interest rate fluctuations and provide more stable spreads between loan yields and the rate on their funding sources.





ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, as of September 30, 2018.2019. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 20182019 to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of the objectives described above.


Changes to Internal Controls


There were no changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the Company'sCompany’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, those controls.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION




ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


In connection with its acquisition of Trinity/LANB, the Company, as successor-in-interest to Trinity, is a party to certain consolidated proceedings pending in the First Judicial Circuit Court for the State of New Mexico, styled Trinity Capital Corporation, et al v. Atlantic Specialty Ins. Co., et al. The lawsuit seeks declaratory relief, defense costs, and damages related to claims for bad faith breach of insurance contracts and violations of New Mexico insurance statutes. The insurance coverage at issue in the lawsuit relates to regulatory proceedings commenced by the OCC against LANB and the SEC against Trinity following an OCC bank examination in 2012. At the time, Trinity had in place a director and officer insurance policy that included coverage for the cost of defending against certain regulatory proceedings. Coverage was denied by the insurance company based on an alleged failure to give timely notice of a claim. Former Trinity/LANB officers, William Enloe, Jill Cook and Mark Pierce, also filed suits against the insurance company and Trinity/LANB which have been consolidated in the proceeding. The claims of William Enloe against Trinity/LANB relate to an alleged failure to provide timely notice to the insurance company. The claims of Jill Cook and Mark Pierce relate to indemnification and alleged wrongful termination. The officers’ claims against Trinity/LANB have been stayed pending resolution of the claims against the insurance company. To date, the Company has received notice that all three former Trinity/LANB officers have each individually settled their claims with the insurance company.

In December 2018, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of Trinity/LANB finding that they had delivered timely notice to the insurance company as a matter of law. The insurance company filed a motion to reconsider which was subsequently heard and denied. The Company will next seek to prove up its damages at trial which is anticipated to occur in the first quarter of 2020. The Company also plans to vigorously defend itself against the officers’ claims. Due to the complex nature of this lawsuit, the outcome and timing of ultimate resolution and recovery by the Company is uncertain.

In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to various legal proceedings arising out of their businesses. Management believes there are no such proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.







ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS


For information regarding risk factors affecting the Company, please see the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements in the introduction to Item 2 of Part I of this Report on Form 10-Q, and Part I, Item 1A of our Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.2018, which is supplemented by the additional risk factor set forth below. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in such Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Increased regulatory oversight, uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process and potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 may adversely affect the results of our operations.
On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”), announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. It is impossible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR, whether LIBOR rates will cease to be published or supported before or after 2021 or whether any additional reforms to LIBOR may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Efforts in the United States to identify a set of alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rates include proposals by the ARRC of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Uncertainty as to the nature of alternative reference rates and as to potential changes in other reforms to LIBOR may adversely affect LIBOR rates and the value of LIBOR-based loans, and to a lesser extent securities in our portfolio, and may impact the availability and cost of hedging instruments and borrowings, including the rates we pay on our subordinated debentures. The Company has material contracts that are indexed to LIBOR. If LIBOR rates are no longer available, any successor or replacement interest rates may perform differently and we may incur significant costs to transition both our borrowing arrangements and the loan agreements with our customers from LIBOR, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. The impact of alternatives to LIBOR on the valuations, pricing and operation of our financial instruments is not yet known.

(a) In May 2015, the Company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to two million shares of the Company’s common stock. The repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions and the stock repurchase program will remain in effect until fully utilized or until modified, superseded or terminated. The timing and exact amount of common stock repurchases will depend on a number of factors including, among others, market and general economic conditions, economic capital and regulatory capital considerations, alternative uses of capital, the potential impact on our credit ratings, and contractual and regulatory limitations.
