COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and is the holding company for Essex Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia state bank with 2524 full-service offices, 18 of which are in Virginia and 6 of which are in Maryland. The Bank also operates one2 loan production office in Virginia.

offices.

The Bank engages in a general commercial banking business and provides a wide range of financial services primarily to individuals, and small businesses and larger commercial companies, including individual and commercial demand and time deposit accounts, commercial and industrial loans, consumer and small business loans, real estate and mortgage loans, investment services, on-line and mobile banking products, and safe deposit box facilities.cash management services.

Financial Statements

The consolidated statements presented include accounts of the Company and the Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to the general practices within the banking industry. The interim financial statements have not been audited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal accruals, were made that are necessary to present fairly the balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2017,2020, the statements of income and comprehensive income and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, and the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2020. Results for the nine month period ended September 30, 20172020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

2020.

The financial information contained within the statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when either earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. The Company uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in its loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that the Company uses. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact its transactions could change.

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Developments

In March 2017,October 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08,Codification (ASC) 2020-08, Receivables—Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable Feesfees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The. This ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date.

Under current GAAP, entities normally amortize the premium asclarifies that an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. Stakeholders have expressed concerns with the current approach on the basis that current GAAP excludes certain callable debt securities from consideration of early repayment of principal even if the holder is certain that the call will be exercised. As a result, upon the exercise of a call onentity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security held at a premium,is within the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings. Further, there is diversity in practice (1) in the amortization periodscope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for premiums of callable debt securities, and (2) in how the potential for exercise of a call is factored into current impairment assessments.


The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. However, the amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity.

The amendments are effective foreach reporting period. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including2021, and interim periods within those annual periods.fiscal years.  Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently in compliance with this guidance; therefore, its adoption will have no impactAll entities should apply ASU 2020-08 on its financial statements.

Also in March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07,Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.The amendments apply to all employers, including not-for-profit entities, that offer to their employees defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, or other types of benefits accounted for under Topic 715,Compensation — Retirement Benefits.

The amendments require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component. The line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed.

The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitteda prospective basis as of the beginning of an annualthe period of adoption for which financial statements (interimexisting or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance.newly purchased callable debt securities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidanceASU 2020-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In March 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which provides relief from certain requirements under GAAP. Section 4013 of the CARES Act gives entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) under FASB ASC 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, in certain situations. Under FASB ASC 310-40, a restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Section 4013 of the CARES Act permits the suspension of FASB ASC 310-40 for loan modifications that are made by financial institutions in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic if (1) the borrower was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019, and (2) the modifications are related to arrangements that defer or delay the payment of principal or interest, or change the interest rate on the loan.  These modifications must be made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning COVID–19 declared by the President on March 13, 2020 under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) terminates (the “applicable period”).

In April 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “agencies”), issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID-19. The Company doesagencies noted that there are circumstances in which a loan modification may not offerbe eligible for non-TDR treatment under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or in which an institution elects not to apply Section 4013. For example, a post retirement benefit plan. Asloan that is modified after the Company’s pension plan is frozen, no additional service cost willend of the applicable period would not be incurred. The remaining componentseligible under Section 4013. For such loans, the agencies confirmed with the staff of net periodic benefit costthe FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the impact of COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not expected to be significant. See Note 10 for further details.

From 2014 to 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers;ASU 2015-14,Deferralconsidered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of the Effective Date;ASU 2016-08,Principal versus Agent Considerations;ASU 2016-10,Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing;ASU 2016-12,Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; andASU 2016-20,Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.These ASUs supersede the revenue recognition requirementsrepayment terms, or other delays in ASC Topic 605,Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The core principle of the ASUs is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASUs may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis to new contracts and existing contracts, with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date. For public companies, the ASUs are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017.

The Company is evaluating the anticipated effects of these ASUs on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. While the guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP, the ASUs are not applicable to financial instruments and, therefore, will not impact a majority of the Company’s revenue, including interest income. The Company’s analysis indicates that service charges on deposit accounts and certain components within other noninterest income contain revenue streamspayment that are in scope of these updates; however,insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the Company does not expecttime a material change in the timing or measurement of these revenues.modification program is implemented. The updatesinteragency statement was effective immediately.

The CARES Act and interagency statement are expected to have a material impact on the presentation and disclosure relatedCompany’s financial statements; however, due to these revenues. The Company will begin to analyze the underlying contracts, as applicable, related to these revenues to determineuncertainties regarding the ultimateeconomic effects of COVID-19, this impact of these updates. The Company plans to adopt the standards beginning January 1, 2018 and expects to use the modified retrospective method of adoption.cannot be quantified at this time.

Troubled debt restructures and some substandard loans still accruing interest are loans that management expects to ultimately collect all principal and interest due, but not under the terms of the original contract. A reconciliation of impaired loans to nonaccrual loans at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, is set forth in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Substandard and still accruing     3,645 
Total impaired $17,990  $18,541 

Interest income on nonaccrual loans, if recognized, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting. There was an insignificant amount of cash basis income recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016.2019. For the three months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, estimated interest income of $224,000$61,000 and $198,000,$92,000, respectively, would have been recorded if all such loans had been accruing interest according to their original contractual terms. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, estimated interest income of $550,000$152,000 and $588,000,$284,000, respectively, would have been recorded if all such loans had been accruing interest according to their original contractual terms.

The increase in provision expense reflects the significant increase in commercial real estate and commercial loans classified as special mention due to the inherent economic impact COVID-19 may have on these borrowers.  The allowance for loan losses could be further impacted by COVID-19; however, the amount of that impact is not currently estimable.

The following tables present information on the loans evaluated for impairment in the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 20162019 (dollars in thousands):

Loans are monitored for credit quality on a recurring basis. These credit quality indicators are defined as follows:

Pass -  A pass loan is not adversely classified, as it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification. This category includes purchased loans that are 100% guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies of $16.7$11.9 million and $15.8$12.7 million at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2019, respectively, and PPP loans 100% guaranteed by the SBA of $85.1 million at September 30, 2020.

Special Mention -  A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.

17

Table of Contents

Substandard -  A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard generally have a well definedwell-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful -  A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. The possibility of loss is extremely high.


The following tables present the composition of loans by credit quality indicator at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 20162019 (dollars in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 1 loan defaulted that had been restructured during the previous 12 months prior to the default. This multifamily real estate loan had a recorded investment of $2.6 million.

In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers TDRs and subsequent defaults in these restructures by reviewing for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310-10-35,Receivables, Subsequent Measurement.

At September 30, 2017,2020, the Company had 1-4 family mortgages in the amount of $147.4$92.4 million pledged as collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank withfor a lendable collateral valuetotal borrowing capacity of $124.0$76.7 million.

Note 4. PCI Loans and Related Allowance for Loan Losses

On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to assume all of the deposits and certain other liabilities and acquire substantially all assets of Suburban Federal Savings Bank (SFSB). The Company is applying the provisions of FASB ASC 310-30,Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, to all loans acquired in the SFSB transaction (the “PCI loans”). Of the total $198.3 million in loans acquired, $49.1 million met the criteria of FASB ASC 310-30. These loans, consisting mainly of construction loans, were deemed impaired at the acquisition date. The remaining $149.1 million of loans acquired, comprised mainly of residential 1-4 family, were analogized to meet the criteria of FASB ASC 310-30. Analysis of this portfolio revealed that SFSB utilized weak underwriting and documentation standards, which led the Company to believe that significant losses were probable given the economic environment at the time.

As of September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the outstanding contractual balance of the PCI loans was $73.8$46.6 million and $81.1$53.2 million, respectively. The carrying amount, by loan type, as of these dates is as follows (dollars in

Note 8. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

FASB ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value 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. FASB ASC 820 requires that

Table of Contents

valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

• Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

• Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3—Valuation is determined using model-based techniques with significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of third party pricing services, option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Level 1Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3Valuation is determined using model-based techniques with significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Companys own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of third party pricing services, option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

FASB ASC 825,Financial Instruments, allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company has not made any material FASB ASC 825 elections as of September 30, 2017.2020.


Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain assets to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale and loans held for salethe cash flow hedge are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The tables below present the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):

Investment securities available for sale

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value each reporting period. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available (Level 1). If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions (Level 2).

The Company utilizes a third party vendor to provide fair value data for purposes of determining the fair value of its available for sale securities portfolio. The third party vendor uses a reputable pricing companycompanies for security market data. The third party vendor has controls and edits in place for month-to-month market checks and zero pricing, and a Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 1618 report is obtained from the third party vendor on an annual basis. The Company makes no adjustments to the pricing service data received for its securities available for sale.

Cash flow hedge

The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

Impaired loans

Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310,Receivables. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, a majority of total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. The Company frequently obtains appraisals prepared by external professional appraisers for classified loans greater than $250,000 when the most recent appraisal is greater than 18 months old and/orand deemed to be stale or invalid. The Company may also utilize internally prepared estimates that generally result from current market data and actual sales data related to the Company’s collateral. WhenThe Company makes adjustments for selling costs estimated at 10%, market deterioration, and any known liens against the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value,collateral.  Therefore, the Company records the impaired loan within Level 2.

The Company may also identify collateral deterioration based on current market sales data, including price and absorption, as well as input from real estate sales professionals and developers, county or city tax assessments, market data and on-site inspections by Company personnel. When management determines that the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loanloans as nonrecurring Level 3.  In instances where an appraisal received subsequentFor the period ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, weighted average adjustments, calculated based on relative fair value, related to an internally prepared estimate reflects a higher collateral value, management does not revise the carrying amount. impaired loans were 16.4% and 12.8%, respectively.

Impaired loans can also be evaluated for impairment using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The measurement of impaired loans using future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate rather than the market rate of interest is not a fair value measurement and is therefore excluded from fair value disclosure requirements. Reviews of classified loans are performed by management on a quarterly basis.

Loans held for sale

The carrying amounts of loans held for sale approximate fair value (Level 2).

Bank premises and equipment held for sale

The fair value of bank premises and equipment held for sale was determined using the adjusted appraisal methodology described in the other real estate owned (OREO) asset section below.

Other real estate owned

OREO assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated disposal costs upon transfer of the related loans to OREO, property, establishing a new cost basis. Initial fair value is based on appraised values of the collateral less estimated disposal costs. Subsequent to the transfer, valuations are periodically performed by management based on updated appraisals, general market conditions, recent sales of similar properties, length of time the properties have been held, and the Company’s ability and intent with regard to continued ownership of the properties. The assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated disposal costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised valuesThe Company may incur additional write-downs of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When theOREO assets to fair value of the collateral is based on an observableless estimated costs to sell if valuations indicate a further deterioration in market price or a current appraised value,conditions. As such, the Company records the foreclosed asset within Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines that theOREO as a nonrecurring fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value due to such thingsmeasurement classified as absorption rates and market conditions, the Company records the foreclosed asset within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.3.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825,Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or

Table of Contents

nonrecurring basis. FASB ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. Additionally, in accordance with FASB ASU 2016-01, the Company uses the exit price notion, rather than the entry price notion, in calculating fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following reflects the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not measured as suchrecognized on the consolidated balance sheet, at fair valuemeasures by level of valuation assumptions used for those assets.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheets at amounts other than fair value as of September 30, 2017. The Company applied the provisions of FASB ASC 820 to the fair value measurements of financial instruments not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The provisions requiring the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and to measure fair value using a notion of exit price were factored into the Company’s selection of inputs into its established valuation techniques.

Financial Assets

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, interest bearing bank deposits, and federal funds sold approximate fair value (Level 1).

26

Securities held to maturity

For securities held to maturity, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes (Level 1 and 2).

Restricted securities

The carrying valueTable of restricted securities approximates their fair value based on the redemption provisions of the respective issuer (Level 2).

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of impaired loans is consistent with the methodology used for the FASB ASC 820 disclosure for assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis presented above.

PCI loans

Fair values for PCI loans are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considers various factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, term of loan and whether or not the loans are amortizing. Loans were pooled together according to similar characteristics and were treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The discount rates used for loans are based on the rates used at acquisition (which were based on market rates for new originations of comparable loans) adjusted for any material changes in interest rates since acquisition. Increases in cash flow expectations since acquisition resulted in estimated fair value being higher than carrying value. The increase in cash flows is also reflected in a transfer from unaccretable yield to accretable yield as disclosed in Note 4.

Accrued interest receivable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate fair value (Level 2).

Financial Liabilities

Noninterest bearing deposits

The carrying amount of noninterest bearing deposits approximates fair value (Level 2).

Interest bearing deposits

The fair value of NOW accounts, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal funds purchased

The carrying amount of federal funds purchased approximates fair value (Level 2).

Long-term borrowings

The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings, such as FHLB advances and long-term debt, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

27Contents

Accrued interest payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value (Level 2).

Off-balance sheet financial instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of stand-by letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. The Company’s off-balance sheet commitments are funded at current market rates at the date they are drawn upon. It is management’s opinion that the fair value of these commitments would approximate their carrying value, if drawn upon.  

The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change, and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.


Note 9. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding attributable to stock instruments. The following table presents basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 20162019 (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data):

Note 10. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company adopted the Bank of Essex noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan for all full-time pre-merger Bank of Essex employees over 21 years of age. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and the employees’ compensation. The Company funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

The Company has frozenfroze the plan benefits for all the defined benefit plan participants effective December 31, 2010.

In accordance with FASB ASC 715,Compensation-Retirement Benefits, settlement accounting is triggered when lump sum payments to plan participants exceed the sum

Table of the plan’s service cost and interest cost for the year. The impact of settlement accounting is that a percentage of any outstanding losses that the plan is currently amortizing must be recognized immediately.  This percentage is calculated as the ratio of lump sums paid to the total liability for the plan.  This amount changes as plan participants retire during the year. The net loss due to settlement to be amortized during 2016 was $52,000 at March 31, 2016, $234,000 at June 30, 2016, and $253,000 at September 30, 2016.Contents

Note 11. Cash Flow Hedge

On November 7, 2014, theThe Company entered into andesignates derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows related to forecasted transactions on variable rate borrowings, such as FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, and brokered CDs.  The Company had interest rate swapswaps designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amountamounts of $30 million.$20 million and $10 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge intended to protect against the variability in the expected future cash flows on the designated variable rate borrowings.  The swap hedges the interest rate risk, wherein the Company will receive an interest rate based on the three month LIBOR from the counterparty and pays an interest rate of 1.69% to the same counterparty calculated on the notional amount for a term of five years.  The Company intends to sequentially issue a series of three month fixed rate debt as part of a planned roll-over of short term debt for five years. The forecasted funding will be provided through one of the following wholesale funding sources: a new FHLB advance, a new repurchase agreement, or a pool of brokered CDs, based on whichever market offers the most advantageous pricing at the time that pricing is first initially determined for the effective date of the swap and each reset period thereafter. Each quarter when the Company rolls over the three month debt, it will decide at that time which funding source to use for that quarterly period.

The swap wasswaps were entered into with a counterparty that met the Company’s credit standards, and the agreement containsagreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The Company believes that the credit risk inherent in the contractcontracts is not significant. The Company had $390,000$770,000 and $180,000 of cash pledged as collateral for each of the periods endedat September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016.

2019, respectively.

Amounts receivable or payable are recognized as accrued under the terms of the agreements. In accordance with FASB ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging, the Company has designated the swapswaps as a cash flow hedge,hedges, with the effective portions of the derivatives’ unrealized gains or losses recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The ineffective portions of the unrealized gains or losses, if any, would be recorded in other operating expense. The Company has assessed the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows on the designated hedged item. The Company’s cash flow hedge was deemed to be highly effective for the three and nine monthsmonth periods ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016.2019. The Company recorded a fair value liability of the Company’s cash flow hedge was an unrealized gain of $17,000$683,000 and $44,000 in other liabilities at September 30, 2017,2020 and was recorded in other assets. The fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedge was an unrealized loss of $70,000 at December 31, 2016, and was recorded in other liabilities.2019, respectively. The gain and lossnet losses were recorded as a component of other comprehensive income net of associated tax effects.

Note 12. Revenue Recognition

30The Company recognizes income in accordance with FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of this guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income, and brokerage fees and commissions. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Service charges on deposit accounts

The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as 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 Company 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 Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.

Interchange and ATM fees

The Company earns interchange and ATM fees from debit/credit cardholder transactions conducted through the Visa and ATM payment networks. 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. Because the Company acts as an agent and does not control the services rendered to the customers, related costs are netted against the fee income. These costs were included in other operating expenses prior to the adoption of Topic 606.

Brokerage fees and commissions

Brokerage fees and commissions consist of other recurring revenue streams such as commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments to customers by a third-party service provider and investment advisor fees. The Company receives commissions from the third-party service provider on a monthly basis based upon customer activity for the month.

28

The investment advisor fees are charged to the customer’s account in advance on the first month of the quarter, and the revenue is recognized over the following three-month period.

The following table presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Note 13. Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as it relates to its non-cancellable operating leases and subleases of bank premises.  The Company's leases have lease terms between five years and 20 years, with the longest lease term having an expiration date in 2038. Most of these leases include one or more renewal options for five years or less. At lease commencement, the Company assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option by considering various economic factors. Options that are reasonably certain of being exercised are factored into the determination of the lease term, and related payments are included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability.  The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of lease payments when the interest rate implicit in a lease is not disclosed.  None of the Company’s current leases contain variable lease payment terms.  The Company accounts for associated non-lease components separately.

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

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition at September 30, 20172020 and results of operations of Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019.

OVERVIEW

Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and is the holding company for Essex Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia state bank with 2524 full-service offices, 18 of which are in Virginia and six of which are in Maryland.  The Bank also operates onetwo loan production office in Virginia.

offices.

The Bank engages in a general commercial banking business and provides a wide range of financial services primarily to individuals, and small businesses and larger commercial companies, including individual and commercial demand and time deposit accounts, commercial and industrial loans, consumer and small business loans, real estate and mortgage loans, investment services, on-line and mobile banking products, and safe deposit box facilities.

cash management services.

The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by the Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Company’s cost of funds is a function of the average amount of interest bearing deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The mix and product type for both loans and deposits can have a significant effect on the net interest income of the Bank. For the past several years, the Bank’s focus has been on maximizing that mix through branch growth and targeted product types, with lenders and other employees directly involved with customer relationships. Additionally, the quality of the interest earning assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on nonaccrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, the

The Bank also earns noninterest income from service charges on deposit accounts and other fee or commission-based services and products, such as insurance, mortgage loans, annuities, and other wealth management products. Other sources of noninterest income can include gains or losses on securities transactions mortgage loan income and income from Bank Owned Life Insurancebank owned life insurance (BOLI) policies. The Company’s income is offset by noninterest expense, which consists of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, data processing fees, professional fees, transactions involving bank-owned property, the amortization of intangible assets and other operational expenses. The provision for loan losses and income taxes may materially affect net income.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within the statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when either earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. For example, the Company uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in its loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that the Company uses. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact its transactions could change.

The following is a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies that are highly dependent on estimates, assumptions and judgments.

32

Allowance for Loan Losses on Loans

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance is an amount that management believes is appropriate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of the collectability of existing loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. This evaluation does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions. The evaluation also considers the following risk characteristics of each loan portfolio:

·Residential 1-4 family mortgage loans include HELOCs and single family investment properties secured by first liens. The carry risks associated with owner-occupied and investment properties are the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower, changes in the value of the collateral, successful property maintenance and collection of rents due from tenants. The Company manages these risks by using specific underwriting policies and procedures and by avoiding concentrations in geographic regions.

·Commercial real estate loans, including owner occupied and non-owner occupied mortgages, carry risks associated with the successful operations of the principal business operated on the property securing the loan or the successful operation of the real estate project securing the loan. General market conditions and economic activity may impact the performance of these loans. In addition to using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans, the Company manages risk by avoiding concentrations to any one business or industry, and by diversifying the lending to various lines of businesses, such as retail, office, office warehouse, industrial and hotel.

·Construction and land development loans are generally made to commercial and residential builders/developers for specific construction projects, as well as to consumer borrowers. These carry more risk than real estate term loans due to the dynamics of construction projects, changes in interest rates, the long-term financing market and state and local government regulations. The Company manages risk by using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans and by avoiding concentrations to any one business or industry and by diversifying lending to various lines of businesses, in various geographic regions and in various sales or rental price points.

·Second mortgages on residential 1-4 family loans carry risk associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower, changes in value of the collateral and a higher risk of loss in the event the collateral is liquidated due to the inferior lien position. The Company manages risk by using specific underwriting policies and procedures.

32

·Multifamily loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of the property, general real estate market conditions and economic activity. In addition to using specific underwriting policies and procedures, the Company manages risk by avoiding concentrations to geographic regions and by diversifying the lending to various unit mixes, tenant profiles and rental rates.

·Agriculture loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of the business, changes in value of non-real estate collateral that may depreciate over time and inventory that may be affected by weather, biological, price, labor, regulatory and economic factors. The Company manages risks by using specific underwriting policies and procedures, as well as avoiding concentrations to individual borrowers and by diversifying lending to various agricultural lines of business (i.e., crops, cattle, dairy, etc.).

·Commercial loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of the business, changes in value of non-real estate collateral that may depreciate over time, accounts receivable whose collectability may change and inventory values that may be subject to various risks including obsolescence. General market conditions and economic activity may also impact the performance of these loans. In addition to using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans, the Company manages risk by diversifying the lending to various industries and avoids geographic concentrations.

·Consumer installment loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and the value of rapidly depreciating assets or lack thereof. These types of loans are more likely than real estate loans to be quickly and adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. The Company manages risk by using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans.

·All other loans generally support the obligations of state and political subdivisions in the U.S. and are not a material source of business for the Company. The loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the obligations and economic activity. The Company manages risk by using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans.

While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses, and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. For loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value (or discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The unallocated component covers uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.impairment as a pool. Accordingly, the Company does not separately analyze these individual loans for impairment disclosures.

33

Accounting for Certain Loans Acquired in a Transfer

FASB ASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310,Receivables, requires acquired loans to be recorded at fair value and prohibits carrying over valuation allowances in the initial accounting for acquired impaired loans. Loans carried at fair value, mortgage loans held for sale, and loans to borrowers in good standing under revolving credit arrangements are excluded from the scope of FASB ASC 310, which limits the yield that may be accreted to the excess of the undiscounted expected cash flows over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. The excess of the contractual cash flows over expected cash flows may not be recognized as an adjustment of yield. Subsequent increases in cash flows to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through the allowance for loan losses.

The Company’s acquired loans from the Suburban Federal Savings Bank (SFSB) transaction (the “PCI loans”), subject to FASB ASC Topic 805,Business Combinations, were recorded at fair value and no separate valuation allowance was recorded at the date of acquisition. FASB ASC 310-30,Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, applies to loans acquired in a transfer with evidence of deterioration of credit quality for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. The Company is applying the provisions of FASB ASC 310-30 to all loans acquired in the SFSB transaction. The Company has grouped loans together based on common risk characteristics including product type, delinquency status and loan documentation requirements among others.


The PCI loans are subject to the credit review standards described above for loans. If and when credit deterioration occurs subsequent to the date that the loans were acquired, a provision for loan loss for PCI loans will be charged to earnings for the full amount.

The Company has made an estimate of the total cash flows it expects to collect from each pool of loans, which includes undiscounted expected principal and interest. The excess of that amount over the fair value of the pool is referred to as accretable yield. Accretable yield is recognized as interest income on a constant yield basis over the life of the pool. The Company also determines each pool’s contractual principal and contractual interest payments. The excess of that amount over the total cash flows that it expects to collect from the pool is referred to as nonaccretable difference, which is not accreted into income.recorded. Judgmental prepayment assumptions are applied to both contractually required payments and cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition. Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the pool are recognized as an impairment in the current period through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent increases in expected or actual cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the accretable yield with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the pool.

Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by managementwill impact future financial results, include government mandated business closures and the assets are carried at the lowerstay-at-home orders, which have transformed into some of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other operating expenses. Costs to bring a property to salable condition are capitalized up to the fair value of the property while costs to maintain a property in salable condition are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in taxhighest unemployment rates and laws.

income during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, noninterest income declined a nominal $39,000 year over year and income tax expense increased by $56,000. Offsetting these decreases to net income were a decrease of $1.2 million in interest expense and a decrease of $704,000 in noninterest expenses. The decrease in noninterest expenses was mainly the result of a nonperforming loan of $4.0 million that was migrated to other real estate owned (OREO) in the third quarter of 2019. As a part of this transaction, the Bank paid delinquent real estate taxes in the amount of $624,000 on this property.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s operating results depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, including securities and loans, and interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities, including deposits and other borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, referred to as a “volume change.” It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”

Net interest income increased $523,000,decreased $706,000, or 5.0%5.3%, from the third quarter of 20162019 to the third quarter of 2017 and was $11.0 million. The yield on earning assets of 4.51% in the third quarter of 2017 was a slight increase from 4.50% in the third quarter of 2016. Yield on loans increased from 4.54% to 4.62%, and volume considerations increased the average balance by $68.5 million, or 8.5%. Interest income on loans was $10.1 million, an increase of $971,000 over third quarter 20162020. Net interest income of $9.2 million. Interest on PCI loans was $1.4$12.7 million in the third quarter of 2017,2020 compared with $13.4 million for the same period in 2019.  Interest and dividend income decreased $1.9 million, or 10.9%, over this time period. In the third quarter of 2019, a $1.1 million payoff was received within a loan pool in the PCI portfolio, with no carrying value, which resulted in the entire payment being recognized as interest income. Interest and fees on loans decreased by $427,000, or 3.2%, driven by a decrease of $126,000 year over year. The returnin rate. Interest and fees on PCI loans, increased over this time frame, from 11.32% to 11.76%.

The average balance of total earning assets increased $184.7 million, or 13.9%, from the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2020. The yield on earning assets decreased from 5.23% in the third quarter of 2019, boosted by the $1.1 million PCI payment, to 4.09% in the third quarter of 2020. The yield on earning assets was the culmination of decreases in the yield on all loans, from 5.74% in the third quarter of 2019 to 4.55% in the third quarter of 2020, in the tax-equivalent yield on securities, from 3.17% in the third quarter of 2019 to 2.89% in the third quarter of 2020, and in the yield on interest bearing bank balances, from 2.58% to 0.68% year over year. Income on interest bearing bank balances   increased $34,000 as a result of an increase of $15.2$57.1 million in the average balance of securities. The tax-equivalent yield on securities was 3.10% in the third quarter of each of 2017 and 2016.2020 as compared with the same period one year ago.

First, there was an increase of $612,000, or 1.6%, in interest and fees on loans, which increased as a result of $29.7growth of $111.0 million, was an increaseor 10.9%, in the average balance of $3.1 million compared with $26.6 millionloans in 2020 over 2019. The yield on loans declined from 5.03% for the first nine months of 2019 to 4.59% for the same period in 2016.2020. A portion of this decrease is attributable to the addition of $85.1 million in PPP loans net of fees during the second and third quarters of 2020 at a rate of 1.00%. Interest and fees on PCI loans declined $349,000 overby $1.8 million, or 36.0%. Part of this same time frame. Securities income increased $156,000decline is related to payoffs within charged-off loan pools within the PCI portfolio. The yield on the PCI portfolio was 13.71% for the first nine months of 20172020 compared with 17.70% for the same period in 2019. Interest on deposits in other banks declined by $69,000. Interest and dividends on securities declined by $699,000 in the first nine months of 2020 compared with the same period in 2016.2019. The yield on earning assets was 4.38% for the first nine months of 2020, a decline of 64 basis points from 5.02% in the first nine months of 2019. The yield on total loans, which includes PCI loans and PPP loans, declined from 5.48% for the first nine months of 2019 to 4.83% for the same period in 2020. The return on interest bearing bank balances declined from 2.55% to 0.66%, while the tax-equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 3.14%declined from 3.25% for the first nine months of 2017 compared with 3.11% for the same time frame in 2016.

Interest expense of $6.7 million represented an increase of $961,000, or 16.8%, in the first nine months of 2017 compared with the same period in 2016. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased 6.2%, or $58.7 million, as loan growth has also been funded by an increase of $21.1 million, or 18.9%, in the average balance noninterest bearing deposits.

The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.80%2019 to 2.95% for the first nine months of 2017 compared with 3.82%2020.

Interest expense of $9.9 million for the first nine months of 2016. The net2020 was a decrease of $1.7 million, or 14.6%, from interest spread was 3.66%expense of $11.6 million for the first nine months of 2017 versus 3.72%2019. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased from 1.44% for the first nine months of 2016.2019 to 1.17% for the same period in 2020. Interest on deposits decreased $1.3 million due to a decline in the rate paid from 1.39% for the first nine months of 2019 to 1.16% for the first nine months of 2020. Over the next 12 months, $480.7 million in certificates of deposit, or 78.8% of total certificates, will reprice, and these certificates were paying a weighted average rate of 1.28% at September 30, 2020.  The average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased over this time frame by $45.7 million. Short term borrowing expense decreased by $60,000, and the cost of FHLB and other borrowings decreased by $327,000, or 32.0%, as the rate paid decreased from 2.09% for the first nine months of 2019 to 1.30% for the first nine months of 2020.

The changes noted to interest income and interest expense led to a decline in the net interest margin from 3.84% for the first nine months of 2019 to 3.48% for the same period in 2020. The interest spread also declined over this time frame from 3.58% in 2019 to 3.21% in 2020. Excluding PPP loans from the net interest margin calculation would have resulted in a margin of 3.49% for the first nine months of 2020 compared with the actual margin of 3.48%.  The yield on the loan portfolio would have been 4.68% excluding PPP loans versus the actual yield of 4.59% with PPP loans, and the yield on earning assets would have been 4.44% without PPP loans as opposed to the actual yield of 4.38% that included PPP loans.

The following tables set forth, for each category of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate earned or paid for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016.2019. The tabletables also setsset forth the average rate paid on total interest bearing liabilities, and the net interest margin on average total interest earning assets for the same periods. Except as indicated in the footnotes, no tax equivalent adjustments were made and all average balances are daily average balances. Any nonaccruing loans have been included in the tables, as loans carrying a zero yield.

Provision for Loan Losses

Management actively monitors the Company’s asset quality and provides specific loss provisions when necessary. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management of the Company based on such factors as historical credit loss experience, industry diversification of the commercial loan portfolio, the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral, the volume growth and composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the loan portfolio through the internal loan review function and other relevant factors. SeeAllowance for Loan Losses on Loans in the Critical Accounting Policies section above for further discussion.

Loans are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the provision for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.

Management also actively monitors its PCI loan portfolio for impairment and necessary loan loss provisions. Provisions for these loans may be necessary due to a change in expected cash flows or an increase in expected losses within a pool of loans.

The Companyprovision recorded during the first nine months of 2020 was due to the heightened risks associated with the loan portfolio that resulted from the economic impact of the rapidly evolving effects of the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, business shut-downs and increased unemployment. The Company’s lenders reviewed each loan within the portfolio to identify those borrowers that management believed to be possibly impacted by the current state of the economy. Loans identified with increased risk were aggregated by loan type. This analysis indicated a risk grade migration in a number of loan categories that led to a heightened risk level in the loan portfolio. The impact of the loans’ risk grade migration was applied to the allowance for loan loss calculation, which led to the provision for loan losses for each of the first two quarters of 2020. The Company determined that no provision was necessary for the third quarter of 2020 after a similar analysis and review process for the quarter.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is closely monitoring loan concentrations in various “at risk areas” that it has deemed most likely to be affected by the stay-at-home orders and lack of general business activity, including a lack of travel in our geographic territory.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company identified the following categories of borrowers as being potentially at risk:

Asset Quality – excluding PCI loans

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the amount appropriate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Loan quality is continually monitored, and the Company’s management has established an allowance for loan losses that it believes is appropriate for the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Among other factors, management considers the Company’s historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and appropriateness of collateral and guarantors, nonperforming loans and current and anticipated economic conditions. There are additional risks of future loan losses, which cannot be precisely quantified nor attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Because those risks include general economic trends, as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and determination as to appropriateness, which may take into account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance and size of the allowance in comparison to peer companies identified by regulatory agencies. SeeAllowance for Loan Losses on Loans in the Critical Accounting Policies section above for further discussion.

The Company maintains a list of loans that have potential weaknesses and thus may need special attention. This loan list is used to monitor such loans and is used in the determination of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses.

2019, which was driven primarily by the decrease in nonperforming loans and increase in total loans primarily from PPP loan originations.

The allowance for loan losses for each of the periods presented includes an amount that could notcannot be related to individual types of loans, and thusthis is referred to as the unallocated portioncomponent of the allowance. The Company recognizes the inherent imprecision in the estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used. Specifically, the provision of $450,000$4.2 million taken duringfor the yearnine months ended 2016September 30, 2020 primarily due to loan growthrisk grade deterioration of the portfolio related to COVID-19 resulted in an elevated unallocated amount of $1.5$3.1 million at December 31, 2016.September 30, 2020. Several factors justifiedjustify the maintenance of this unallocated amount including an unusually low level of delinquencies at December 31, 2016, which the Company believed was unsustainable over the next several quarters and was not reflective of the Company’s experience, as well as the fact that the Company believed the allowance as reported was indicative of the credit risks of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2016. During 2017, delinquencies increased $3.4 million, net charge-offs were $976,000, nonaccrual loans increased $2.4 million and the Company took a provision of $150,000, all of which contributed to the reduction of the unallocated amount to $101,000 at September 30, 2017.amount:

-There was a significant decrease in delinquencies at September 30, 2020 driving the reduction in the calculated allowance. Given the uncertainty of the current economic environment in relation to COVID-19, delinquencies could increase dramatically over the next several quarters.  While the Company currently does not believe any of its COVID-19 related modifications rise to the level of a TDR under the current guidance, the true test will be during the next quarter or even the first quarter of 2021 when the modification periods expire and the economic impacts of COVID-19 become more evident.

-Coverage ratios at September 30, 2020 relating to the allowance to loans, as noted in the table below, are in line with peers and are consistent for the Company with prior periods which have proven to be adequate and produce provisions and allowances for loan losses that are directionally consistent with the credit quality of the loan portfolio.  This is an indication that the allowance, in the aggregate, is reasonably stated when considering total loans as well as loans with some doubt regarding ultimate collectability.

-The Company feels that, if the portfolio continues to show improvement and the calculation continues to yield a significant unallocated component, it will make adjustments as considered appropriate after observing a longer, more substantiated time horizon.

In accordance with GAAP, an individual loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company considers all troubled debt restructures and nonaccrual loans to be impaired loans. In addition, the Company reviews all substandard and doubtful loans that are not on nonaccrual status, as well as loans with other risk characteristics, pursuant to and specifically for compliance with the accounting definition of impairment as described above. These impaired loans have been determined through analysis, appraisals, or other methods used by management.

See Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements for information related to the allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, total impaired loans, excluding PCI loans, equaled $18.0$9.0 million and $18.5$9.9 million, respectively.

The Company grants troubled debt restructures (TDR) and other various loan workouts whereby an existing loan may be restructured into multiple new loans. At September 30, 2017, the Company had 23 loans that met the definition of a TDR, which are loans that for reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties have been restructured on terms and conditions that would otherwise not be offered or granted. Six of these loans were restructured using multiple new loans. The aggregated outstanding principal of all TDR loans at September 30, 2017 was $7.0 million, of which $1.7 million were classified as nonaccrual.

The primary benefit of the restructured multiple loan workout strategy is to maximize the potential return by restructuring the loan into a “good loan” (the A loan) and a “bad loan” (the B loan). The impact on interest is positive because the Bank is collecting interest on the A loan rather than potentially not collecting interest on the entire original loan structure. The A loan is underwritten pursuant to the Bank’s standard requirements and graded accordingly. The B loan is classified as either “doubtful” or ���loss”. An impairment analysis is performed on the B loan and, based on its results, all or a portion of the B loan is charged-off or a specific loan loss reserve is established.


The Company does not modify its nonaccrual policies in this arrangement, and the A loan and the B loan stand on their own terms. At inception, this structure meets the definition of a TDR. If the loan is on nonaccrual at the time of restructure, the A loan is held on nonaccrual until six consecutive payments have been received, at which time it may be put back on an accrual status. The B loan is placed on nonaccrual. Under the terms of each loan, the borrower’s payment is contractually due.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had six construction and land development credit relationships in nonaccrual status. The borrowers for all of these relationships are residential land developers. All of the relationships are secured by the real estate to be developed and are in the Company’s central Virginia market. The total amount of the credit exposure outstanding at September 30, 2017 was $4.3 million. These loans have either been charged-down or sufficiently reserved against to equal the current expected realizable value.

The total amount of the allowance for loan losses attributed to all six relationships was $456,000 at September 30, 2017, or 10.64% of the total credit exposure outstanding. The Company establishes its reserves as described above inAllowance for Loan Losses on Loans in the Critical Accounting Policies section. In conjunction with the impairment analysis the Company performs as part of its allowance methodology, the Company ordered appraisals for all loans with balances in excess of $250,000 unless there existed an appraisal that was not older than 18 months and/or deemed to be invalid. The Company uses a ratio analysis for balances less than $250,000. The Company maintains detailed analysis and other information for its allowance methodology, both for internal purposes and for review by its regulators.

Asset Quality – PCI loans

Loans accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30 are generally considered accruing and performing loans as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan. Accordingly, acquired impaired loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans.

The PCI loans are subject to credit review standards for loans.  If and when credit deterioration occurs subsequent to the date that they were acquired, a provision for credit loss for PCI loans will be charged to earnings for the full amount. The Company makes an estimate of the total cash flows that it expects to collect from a pool of PCI loans, which include includes

undiscounted expected principal and interest. Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the pool are recognized as impairmentimpairments in the current period through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the yield over the remaining life of the pool.


Capital Requirements

The determination of capital adequacy depends upon a number of factors, such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings, growth trends and economic conditions. The Company seeks to maintain a strong capital base exceeding regulatory minimums for well capitalized institutions to support its growth and expansion plans, provide stability to current operations and promote public confidence in the Company.

Current repurchase activity under the Company’s stock repurchase program was suspended effective April 2, 2020.  The sole reason for this suspension was due to the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19.  On October 29, 2020, the Company announced the recommencement of this programfor the repurchase of up to 200,000 shares of its common stock through January 2021.  Shares of common stock may be purchased under the program periodically in privately negotiated transactions or in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, and pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Company continues to place a heightened emphasis on capital and liquidity to safeguard shareholders, its balance sheet and the needs of its customers.

Management believes that the Company possesses strong capital and liquidity. The actions taken with regard to capital and liquidity as a result of the pandemic were put into effect to safeguard these areas of strength.

Effective September 2018, the Federal Reserve raised the total consolidated asset limit in the Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement from $1 billion to $3 billion, thereby eliminating the Company’s consolidated capital reporting requirements. Therefore, the Company only reports capital information at the Bank level.

Under the final rule on Enhanced Regulatory Capital Standards, commonly referred to as Basel III and which became effective January 1, 2015, the federal banking regulators have defined four tests for assessing the capital strength and adequacy of banks, based on threefour definitions of capital. “Common equity tier 1 capital” is defined as common equity, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), less certain intangibles. “Tier 1 capital” is defined as common equity tier 1 capital plus qualifying perpetual preferred stock, tier 1 minority interests, and grandfathered trust preferred securities. “Tier 2 capital” is defined as specific subordinated debt, some hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock, non-tier 1 minority interests and a limited amount of the allowance for loan loss allowance.losses. “Total capital” is defined as tier 1 capital plus tier 2 capital. Four risk-based capital ratios are computed using the above capital definitions, total assets and risk-weighted assets, and the ratios are measured against regulatory minimums to ascertain adequacy. All assets and off-balance sheet risk items are grouped into categories according to degree of risk and assigned a risk-weighting and the resulting total is risk-weighted assets. “Common equity tier 1 capital ratio” is common equity tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. “Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio” is tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. “Total risk-based capital ratio” is total capital divided by risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio“leverage ratio” is tier 1 capital divided by total average assets.

The Company’sBank’s ratio of total risk-based capital was 13.4%13.9% at each of September 30, 2017 compared with 13.2% at2020 and December 31, 2016.2019. The tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.6%12.9% at September 30, 20172020 and 12.2%13.2% at December 31, 2016.2019. The Company’sBank’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.0%10.2% at September 30, 20172020 and 9.6%11.0% at December 31, 2016.2019. All capital ratios exceed regulatory minimums to be considered well capitalized. BASEL III introduced the common equity tier 1 capital ratio, which was 12.2%12.9% at September 30, 20172020 and 11.8%13.2% at December 31, 2016.

2019.

Under Basel III, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above the minimum risk-based capital thresholds was established. Dividend and executive compensation restrictions begin if the CompanyBank does not maintain the full amount of the buffer. The capital conservation buffer will be phased in between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2019. At September 30, 2017,2020, the CompanyBank had a capital conservation buffer of 5.4%, well above the 2017 required buffer5.9%.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and certain investment securities. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

The Company’s results of operations are significantly affected by its ability to manage effectively the interest rate sensitivity and maturity of its interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. A summary of the Company’s liquid assets at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 20162019 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, 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 counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Those lines of credit may be drawn upon only to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Company holds certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

The Company entered into an interestdesignates derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows related to forecasted transactions on variable rate swapborrowings, such as FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, and brokered CDs.  The Company had cash flow hedges with a total notional amountamounts of $30 million.  The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge intended to protect against the variability in the expected future cash flows on the designated variable rate borrowings.  The swap hedges the interest rate risk, wherein the Company will receive an interest rate based on the three month LIBOR from the counterparty$20 million and pays an interest rate of 1.69% to the same counterparty calculated on the notional amount for a term of five years.  The Company intends to sequentially issue a series of three month fixed rate debt as part of a planned roll-over of short term debt for five years. The forecasted funding will be provided through one of the following wholesale funding sources: a new FHLB advance, a new repurchase agreement, or a pool of brokered CDs, based on whichever market offers the most advantageous pricing at the time that pricing is first initially determined for the effective date of the swap and each reset period thereafter. Each quarter when the Company rolls over the three month debt, it will decide at that time which funding source to use for that quarterly period.

The fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedge was an unrealized gain and an unrealized loss of $17,000 and $70,000$10 million at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which was2019, respectively.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of interest rate risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Bank. In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that govern the Company’s asset/liability management related activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.


Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Company’s earnings. ALCO uses the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. While ALCO routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over various periods, it also employs additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk.

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The simulation model is prepared and results are analyzed at least quarterly. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 400 basis point upward shift and a 400 basis point downward shift in interest rates. The downward shift of 300 or 400 basis points is included in the analysis, although less meaningful in the current rate environment, because all results are monitored regardless of likelihood. A parallel shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed.

The following table represents the change to net interest income given interest rate shocks up and down 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points at September 30, 20172020 (dollars in thousands):

At September 30, 2017,2020, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 400 basis points over a 12 month period, net interest income could increase by 0.2%13.0%. For the same time period, the interest rate risk model indicated that in a declining rate environment of 400 basis points, net interest income could decrease by 2.5%0.1%. While these percentages are subjective based upon assumptions used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is appropriately balanced with acceptable risk to changes in interest rates.

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels such as yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances about the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to factors such as prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in interest rates.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and its chief financial officer (“the Certifying(the “Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Section 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the  SEC’s rules and forms.forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply with the Company’s disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under it.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Certifying Officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, the Company has seen no effect on internal control over financial reporting related to its change to a mostly remote workforce due to COVID-19.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

As of the date of this report, there wereThere are no material changes to any of the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019 (Part I, Item 1A), other than the addition of the risk factor relating to the COVID-19 pandemic as set forth below.

Our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including measures that governmental authorities have taken to manage the public health effects of the pandemic, has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations. These measures, together with voluntary changes in consumer behavior, have led to a substantial decrease in economic activity and a dramatic increase in unemployment. We cannot predict at this time the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to negatively affect us. The extent of any continued or future adverse effects of COVID-19 will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and outside our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our employees, customers and service providers, as well as other market participants, and additional actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

We are prioritizing the safety of our customers and employees and have limited our branch activity to drive-through services or in-branch appointments. In addition, most of our employees are working remotely.  If these measures are not effective in serving our customers or affect the productivity of our employees, they may lead to significant disruptions in our business operations.

Many of our third-party service providers have also been, and may further be, affected by the same factors that affect us and that, in turn, increase their own risks of business disruption or may otherwise affect their ability to perform under the terms of any agreements with us or provide essential services. As a result, our operational and other risks are generally expected to increase until the pandemic subsides.

We are offering varying levels of credit relief to borrowers who are experiencing financial hardships related to COVID-19, including interest only payment concessions and payment deferrals. In addition, we are a certified and qualified SBA lender and assisted our customers with their applications under the PPP. These assistance efforts may adversely affect our revenue and results of operations. These government programs are complex, and our participation may lead to governmental and regulatory scrutiny, negative publicity and damage to our reputation. In addition, if these assistance efforts are not effective in mitigating the effects of COVID-19 on borrowers, we may experience higher rates of default and increased credit losses in future periods.

Certain concentrations where we have credit exposure, including commercial and residential lessors, hotels, medical service providers and restaurants, have experienced significant operational challenges as a result of COVID-19. These negative effects may cause our commercial customers to be unable to pay their loans as they come due or decrease the value of collateral, which we expect would cause significant increases in our credit losses.

Our earnings and cash flows are dependent to a large degree on net interest income. Net interest income is significantly affected by market rates of interest. Significant reductions to the federal funds rate have led to a decrease in the rates and yields on U.S. Treasury securities. If interest rates are reduced further in response to COVID-19, we expect that our net interest income will decline, perhaps significantly. The overall effect of lower interest rates cannot be predicted at this time and depends on future actions that the Federal Reserve may take to increase or reduce the targeted federal funds rate in response to COVID-19, and resulting economic conditions.

The effects of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions have increased demands on our liquidity as we meet our customers’ and clients’ needs. We suspended repurchases for a period of time under our stock repurchase program to preserve capital and liquidity in order to support our customers and employees and, although we have no current plans to reduce or suspend our common stock dividend, we will continue to exercise prudent capital management and monitor the business environment.

Governmental authorities have taken unprecedented measures to stabilize the markets and support economic growth. The success of these measures is unknown and they may not be sufficient to address the negative effects of COVID-19 or avert severe and prolonged reductions in economic activity.

Other negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that may impact our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations cannot be predicted at this time, but it is likely that we will continue to be adversely affected until the pandemic subsides and the economy begins to recover. Further, COVID-19 may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Even after the pandemic subsides, it is possible that our markets continue to experience a prolonged recession, which we expect would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations.
