Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and 2016

2023

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shore Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. The consolidated financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to prevailing practices within the banking industry. The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, the consolidated results of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and 2016, and2023, changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and 2016,2023, have been included. All such adjustments arewere of a normal recurring nature. The amounts as of December 31, 20162023 were derived from the 20162023 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report of Shore Bancshares, Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2023 ( the “2023 Annual Report”).. For purposes of comparability, certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform with the current period presentation.

When used in these notes, the term “the Company” refers to Shore Bancshares, Inc. and, unless the context requires otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.

Reclassification

During the period of September 30, 2017, management made an immaterial reclassification adjustment to goodwill and deferred income taxes for a transaction involving a stock-based acquisition of an insurance entity which occurred in 2007. This reclassification was deemed an immaterial correction of an error as it had no impact on total assets or earnings per share previously reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income for any period but was necessary in order to properly reflect goodwill and deferred income taxes on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.   

Effective July 1, 2016, the Company’s two bank subsidiaries, The Talbot Bank of Easton Maryland and CNB were consolidated into one bank known as Shore United Bank. In these notes to the consolidated financial statements and the management discussion and analysis section, the term “the Bank” refers to Shore United Bank, unless the context requires stipulating results of the individual banks before the consolidation occurred.

N.A. (the “Bank”) and Mid-Maryland Title Company, Inc. (the “Title Company”).

Recent Accounting Standards

Pronouncements

ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with CustomersUpdate 2023-09 – In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 606)” amendment requires entities740): Improvements to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date” ASU 2015-14 amendments defer the effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent ConsiderationsIncome Tax Disclosures. – ASU 2016-08 amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):  Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” – ASU 2016-10 amendments clarify that contractual provisions that, explicitly or implicitly, require an entity to transfer control of additional goods or services to a customer should be distinguished from contractual provisions that, explicitly or implicitly, define the attributes of a single promised license. Attributes of a promised license define the scope of a customer’s right to use or right to access an entity’s intellectual property and, therefore, do not define whether the entity satisfies its performance obligation at a point in time or over time and do not create an obligation for the entity to transfer any additional rights to use or access its intellectual property. Revenues from services provided by financial institutions that could be impacted by the new guidance includes credit card arrangements, trust and custody services and administration services for customer deposits accounts (e.g., ATM and wire transfer transactions). This update will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company’s primary sources of revenue are derived from interest and dividends earned on loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of ASU 2014-09. The Company’s revenue recognition pattern for revenue streams within the scope of ASU 2014-09, including but not limited to service charges on deposit accounts and gains/losses on the sale of OREO, is not expected to change significantly from current practice. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently planning to use the modified retrospective transition method which requires

8


application of ASU 2014-09 to uncompleted contracts at the date of adoption. Periods prior to the date of adoption are not retrospectively revised, but a cumulative effect of adoption is recognized for the impact of the ASU on uncompleted contracts at the date of adoption.

ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This ASU, among other things, (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (v) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and (vii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for us on January 1, 2018 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU stipulates that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. All leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statement , and, therefore, recognition of those lease assets and lease liabilities represents an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, a lessee (and a lessor) should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Similarly, optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option. In addition, also consistent with the previous leases guidance, a lessee (and a lessor) should exclude most variable lease payments in measuring lease assets and lease liabilities, other than those that depend on an index or a rate or are in substance fixed payments. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amendments in this ASU are effectiverequire an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for fiscal years after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early applicationreconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginninggreater than five percent of the earliest comparative period presented inamount computed by multiplying pretax income by the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Leases and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard, we expectentity’s applicable statutory rate, on an increase to the Consolidated Balance Sheets for right-of-use assets and interest expense of the lease liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Income, for arrangements previously accounted for as operating leases.

ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU simplifies the treatment and accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public business entities,annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this updateASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.2024. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity early adopts thepermitted. The amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as ofapplied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 on January 1, 2017, the Company made an accounting policy election2023-09 to recognize forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 did not have a material impact on ourits consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-13, Update 2023-07 – In November 2023, the Financial Instruments-Credit LossesAccounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 326)280): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU will replaceare intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the incurredchief operating decision mark (CODM), an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, all annual disclosures required by FASB ASU Topic 280 in interim periods as well, and the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measures. Additionally, this ASU requires that at least one of the reported segment profit and loss impairment methodologymeasures should be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in current GAAPan entity’s consolidated financial statements. Lastly, this ASU requires public business entities with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable informationsingle reportable segment to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit losses, which will be more decision useful to users of the financial statements. It is not expected that an entity will need to create an economic forecast over the entire contractual life of long-dated financial assets. Therefore, the amendments will allow an entity to revert to historical loss information that is reflective of the contractual term (considering the effect of prepayments) for periods that are beyond the time frame for which the entity is able to develop reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company believes this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and the method in which we calculate our credit losses, primarily on loans and held to maturity securities. At this time, the Company has established a project management team which is in the process of developing and understanding this pronouncement, evaluating the impact of this pronouncement and researching additional software resources that could assist with the implementation.

ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." Current GAAP is unclear or does not include specific guidance on how to classify certain transactions inexpect the statement of cash flows. This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how eight particular transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. Entities will be required to apply the guidance retrospectively. If it is impracticable to apply the guidance retrospectively for an issue, the amendments related to that issue would be applied prospectively. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-01 – In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805)” Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU clarifies the definition of a business to assist with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial positions, results of operations or disclosures.

ASU No. 2017-03 – In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-03, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings.” The ASU adds an SEC paragraph to ASUs 2014-09, 2016-02, and 2016-13 which specifies the SEC staff view that a registrant should evaluate ASUs that have not yet been adopted to determine the appropriate disclosure about the potential material effects of those ASUs on the financial statements when adopted. The guidance also specifies the SEC staff view on financial statement disclosures when the company does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact that adoption of the ASUs will have on the financial statements. The ASU also conforms SEC guidance on accounting for tax benefits resulting from investments in affordable housing projects to the guidance in ASU 2014-01, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The amendments in this update are effective upon issuance. The guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-04 – In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The ASU simplifies measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The Company should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The impairment charge is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial positions, results of operations or disclosures 

ASU No. 2017-08 – In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” Under current GAAP, entities normally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. This guidance shortens the amortization period of certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 is not expected2023-07 to have a material impact on the Company’sits consolidated financial statements.

ASU Update 2023-05 – In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement.” This ASU applies to the formation of entities that meet the definition of a joint venture (or a corporate joint venture) as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Master Glossary. While joint ventures are defined in the Master Glossary, there has been no specific guidance in the Codification that applies to the formation accounting by a joint venture in its separate financial statements. The amendments in the ASU require that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture, upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). This ASU is effective on a prospective basis for all joint ventures with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption of ASU No. 2023-05 is permitted in any interim or annual period in which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). A joint venture that elects to early adopt may apply ASU No. 2023-05 either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Business Combination

Northwest Bank Branch Acquisition

Combinations

On May 19, 2017,July 1, 2023 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Bank purchased three branches from Northwest Bank (“NWBI”) locatedCompany completed the acquisition of TCFC, a Maryland corporation, in Arbutus, Elkridge,accordance with the definitive agreement that was entered into on December 14, 2022, by and Owings Mills, Maryland. Pursuant toamong the transaction,Company and TCFC. The primary reasons for the Bank acquired $122.9 million in loans and $212.5 million in deposits, as well asmerger included: expansion of the branch premisesnetwork and equipment.commanding market share positions in attractive Maryland markets and a growing presence in Virginia and Delaware; attractive low-cost funding base; strong cultural alignment and a deep commitment to stockholders, customers, employees, and communities served by the Company and TCFC, meaningful value creation to shareholders; and increased trading liquidity for both companies and increased dividends for TCFC shareholders. In connection with its purchasethe completion of the branches from Northwest,merger, former TCFC shareholders received 2.3287 shares of the Bank receivedCompany’s common stock. The value of the total transaction consideration was approximately $153.6 million. The consideration included the issuance of 13,201,693 shares of the Company’s common stock, which had a cash payment from Northwestvalue of $64.0 million,$11.56 per share, which was netthe closing price of a premium paidthe Company’s common stock on deposits of $17.2 million. This acquisition providesJune 30, 2023, the Bank with the opportunity to enhance its footprint in Maryland by extending its branch network across the Eastern Shorelast trading day prior to the greater Baltimore area communitiesconsummation of Elkridge, Owings Millsthe acquisition. Also included in the total consideration were cash in lieu of any fractional shares, converted share-based payment awards, and Arbutus.

debt of TCFC that was effectively settled upon closing.

The Company hasacquisition of TCFC was accounted for the branch purchases underas a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC topic 805, “Business Combinations,” whereby theand, accordingly, assets acquired, assetsliabilities assumed, and liabilities wereconsideration paid are recorded by the Bank at their estimated fair values on the Acquisition Date. The provisional amount of bargain purchase gain as of theirthe Acquisition Date was approximately $8.8 million. The exchange ratio was determined at the time of announcement of the merger between the Company and TCFC in December of 2022 when the stock price of the Company was much higher than at the legal merger date. The decline in the Company’s stock price was the primary driver in recording a bargain purchase gain on this transaction. The decline in stock price for the Company was comparable to other financial institutions similar to the Company leading up to the merger due to bank failures in the first quarter of 2023 and increases to overnight borrowing rates by the Fed which resulted in continued pressure on net interest margins. The Company will continue to keep the measurement of bargain purchase gain open for any additional adjustments to the fair value of certain accounts, for example loans, that may arise during the Company’s final review procedures of any updated information. If considered necessary, any subsequent adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets, or other purchase accounting adjustments will result in adjustments to bargain purchase gain within the first 12 months following the Acquisition Date. The bargain purchase gain is not included as taxable income for tax purposes.
As a result of the integration of operations of TCFC, it is not practicable to determine revenue or net income included in the Company’s consolidated operating results relating to TCFC since the Acquisition Date, as TCFC’s results cannot be separately identified. Comparative pro-forma financial statements for the prior year period were not presented, as adjustments to those statements would not be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition date.taken place on January 1, 2022. In particular, adjustments that would have been necessary to be made to record the loans at fair value, the provision of credit losses or the core deposit intangible would not be practical to estimate.

Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgement in accounting for the acquisition of TCFC. The following is a brief description of the NWBI branches. Management evaluated expected cash flows, prepayment speeds and estimated loss factorsvaluation methodologies used to measureestimate the fair values for loans. Deposits were valued based upon interest rates, original and remaining terms and maturities, as well as current rates for similar funds in the same markets. Premises were based on recent appraised values, whereas equipment was acquired based on the remaining book value from NWBI, which approximated fair value. Management engaged independent outside experts to provide the fair value estimates.

The Company recorded all loans acquired at the estimated fair value on the purchase dateAcquisition Date with no carryover of the related allowance for loancredit losses. The Company only acquired loans which were deemed to be performing loans with no signs of credit deterioration.

The Company determined the net discounted value of cash flows on approximately 864 performinggross loans totaling $125.1 million.$1.9 billion, including 3,858 of Non-PCD loans and 323 PCD loans. The valuation took into consideration the loans’ underlying characteristics, including account types, remaining terms, annual interest rates, interest types, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates loan-to-value ratios, loss exposures, and remaining balances. These performing loans were segregated into pools based on loanValuations also considered default rates, loss severity estimates, and payment type.estimates related to expected prepayments over the contractual lives of the loans. The effect of this fairthe valuation process was a total net accretable discount adjustment of $2.3$120.9 million at the Acquisition Date.

The core deposit intangible was valued using an income approach focused on cost savings, which recognizes the cost savings represented by the expense of maintaining the core deposit base versus the cost of an alternative funding source. The valuation incorporates assumptions related to account retention, discount rates, deposit interest rates, deposit maintenance costs and alternative funding rates.
The fair value of premises acquired was based on recent third-party appraised values of the properties, with fair value adjustments made to both the buildings and any associated parcels of land. Acquired equipment was based on the remaining net book value of TCFC, which approximated fair value.
The fair value of noninterest bearing demand deposits, interest checking, money market and savings deposit accounts from TCFC were assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificates of deposit were valued at the present value of the certificates’ expected contractual payments discounted at market rates for certificates with similar terms.
The estimated fair value of the acquired portfolio of debt securities was based on quoted market prices and dealer quotes. Substantially all the acquired portfolio was sold following the acquisition.

The estimated fair value of short-term borrowings was determined to approximate their stated value. Subordinated debt and trust preferred debt were valued using a discounted cash flow approach incorporating a discount rate that considered market terms, maturities, and credit ratings.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, which made changes to accounting for AFS debt securities whereby credit losses should be presented as an allowance, rather than as a write-down when management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell prior to maturity. In addition, ASC 326 requires an ACL to be recorded on HTM debt securities measured at amortized cost. All securities information presented as of March 31, 2024 and as of December 31, 2023 are in accordance with ASC 326.

Credit Quality Information
The Company monitors the credit quality of HTM securities through credit ratings provided by dividing net income available to common stockholdersStandard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investor Services. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security, and are updated at each quarter end. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P and Baa3 or higher by Moody’s and are generally considered by the weighted average numberrating agencies and market participants to be of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholderslow credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, which are labeled as speculative grade by the weighted average numberrating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. There were no speculative grade HTM securities at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. HTM securities that are not rated are agency mortgage-backed securities sponsored by U.S. government agencies, as well as direct obligations of common shares outstanding during the period, adjustedagencies, with the remainder being sub-debt of other banks.

There were 115 AFS debt securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis, totaling $11.4 million of aggregate fair value as of March 31, 2024. The Company concluded that a credit loss does not exist in its AFS securities portfolio as of March 31, 2024, and no impairment loss has been recognized based on the fact that (1) changes in fair value were caused primarily by fluctuations in interest rates, (2) securities with unrealized losses had generally high credit quality, (3) the Company intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more-likely-than-not the Company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of its investment, and (4) issuers have continued to make timely payments of principal and interest. Additionally, the Company’s mortgage-back securities are issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored enterprises. Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.
All HTM and AFS securities were current with no securities past due or on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2024.

All of the securities with unrealized losses in the portfolio have modest duration risk, low credit risk, and minimal losses when compared to total amortized cost. The unrealized losses on debt securities that exist are the result of market changes in interest rates since original purchase. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity for debt securities, the Company considers the unrealized losses to be temporary.

A loan is placed on nonaccrual (i.e.acquisition of Severn Bancorp, Inc. (“Severn”), interest income is no longer accrued) when it is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquenteffective October 31, 2021. These balances were presented net of the related discount which totaled $4.4 million and $4.7 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
At March 31, 2024, the Bank was servicing $371.1 million in loans for 90 days or more, unless the loan is well securedFederal National Mortgage Association and $117.8 million in the process of collection. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income.

Interest payments receivedfor Freddie Mac.

The following table provides information on nonaccrual loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

A loan is considered impaired if it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest payments according to the loan’s contractual terms. An impaired loan may show deficiencies in the borrower’s overall financial condition, payment history, support available from financial guarantors and/or the fair market value of collateral. The impairment of a loan is measured at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Generally, the Company measures impairment on such loans by reference to the fair value of the collateral. Once the amount of impairment has been determined, the uncollectible portion is charged off. Income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis, and payments are first applied against the principal balance outstanding (i.e., placing impaired loans on nonaccrual status). Generally, interest income is not recognized on impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. The allowance for credit losses may include specific reserves related to impaired loans. Specific reserves remain until charge offs are made. Impaired loans do not include groups of smaller balance homogenous loans such as residential mortgage and consumer installment loans that are evaluated collectively for impairment. Reserves for probable credit losses related to these loans are based on historical loss ratios and are included in the formula portion of the allowance for credit losses. See additional discussion under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. Loans are identified to be restructured when signs of impairment arise such as borrower interest rate reduction request, slowness to pay, or when an inability to repay becomes evident. The terms being offered are evaluated to determine if they are more liberal than those that would be indicated by policy or industry standards for similar, untroubled credits. In those situations where the terms or the interest rates are considered to be more favorable than industry standards or the current underwriting guidelines of the Company’s banking subsidiary, Shore United Bank (the “Bank”), the loan is classified as a TDR. All loans designated as TDRs are considered impaired loans and may be on either accrual or nonaccrual status. In instances where the loan has been placed on nonaccrual status, six consecutive months of timely payments are required prior to returning the loan to accrual status.

15


All loans classified as TDRs which are restructured and accrue interest under revised terms require a full and comprehensive review of the borrower’s financial condition, capacity for repayment, realistic assessment of collateral values, and the assessment of risk entered into any workout agreement. Current financial information on the borrower, guarantor, and underlying collateral is analyzed to determine if it supports the ultimate collection of principal and interest. For commercial loans, the cash flows are analyzed, both for the underlying project and globally. For consumer loans, updated salary, credit history and cash flow information is obtained. Current market conditions are also considered. Following a full analysis, the determination of the appropriate loan structure is made.

In the normal course of banking business, risks related to specific loan categories are as follows:

Construction loans – Construction loans generally finance the construction of residential real estate for builders and individuals for single family dwellings. In addition, the Bank periodically finances the construction of commercial projects. Credit risk factors include the borrower’s ability to successfully complete the construction on time and within budget, changing market conditions which could affect the value and marketability of projects, changes in the borrower’s ability or willingness to repay the loan and potentially rising interest rates which can impact both the borrower’s ability to repay and the collateral value.

Residential real estate – Residential real estate loans are typically made to consumers and are secured by residential real estate. Credit risk arises from the borrower’s continuing financial stability, which can be adversely impacted by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy, among other factors. Also impacting credit risk would be a shortfall in the value of the residential real estate in relation to the outstanding loan balance in the event of a default or subsequent liquidation of the real estate collateral.

Commercial real estate – Commercial real estate loans consist of both loans secured by owner occupied properties and non-owner occupied properties where an established banking relationship exists and involves investment properties for warehouse, retail, and office space with a history of occupancy and cash flow. These loans are subject to adverse changes in the local economy and commercial real estate markets. Credit risk associated with owner occupied properties arises from the borrower’s financial stability and the ability of the borrower and the business to repay the loan. Non-owner occupied properties carry the risk of a tenant’s deteriorating credit strength, lease expirations in soft markets and sustained vacancies which can adversely impact cash flow.

Commercial – Commercial loans are secured or unsecured loans for business purposes. Loans are typically secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and/or other assets of the business. Credit risk arises from the successful operation of the business which may be affected by competition, rising interest rates, regulatory changes and adverse conditions in the local and regional economy.

Consumer – Consumer loans include home equity loans and lines, installment loans and personal lines of credit. Credit risk is similar to residential real estate loans above as it is subject to the borrower’s continuing financial stability and the value of the collateral securing the loan.

The new TDR consistedopinion of a reduction in principal, whereas,management, the previously recorded TDR consistedcollection of a change in maturity date.

The following tables provide information on TDRs that defaulted within twelve months of restructuring during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. Generally, a loan is considered in default when principal or interest is pastconsidered doubtful.

Loans subject to risk ratings are graded on a scale of one to ten.
Ratings 1 thru 6 – Pass - Ratings 1 thru 6 have asset risks ranging from excellent-low to adequate. The specific rating assigned considers customer history of earnings, cash flows, liquidity, leverage, capitalization, consistency of debt service coverage, the nature and extent of customer relationship and other relevant specific business factors such as the stability of the industry or market area, changes to management, litigation or unexpected events that could have an impact on risks.
Rating 7 – Special Mention - These credits have potential weaknesses due 90 daysto economic conditions, less than adequate earnings performance or other factors which require the lending officer to direct more than normal attention to the credit. Financing alternatives may be limited and/or command higher risk interest rates. Special mention loan relationships are reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 8 – Substandard - Substandard assets are assets that are inadequately protected by the sound worth or paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. Substandard loans are the first adversely classified loans on the Bank's watchlist. These assets have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that the Bank

will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. The loans may have a delinquent history or combination of weak collateral, weak guarantor or operating losses. When a loan is assigned to this category the Bank may estimate a specific reserve in the loan is charged off, loss allowance analysis and/or there is a transfer to OREOplace the loan on nonaccrual. These assets listed may include assets with histories of repossessions or repossessed assets.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include interest rate reduction, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, term extensions, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. The following illustrates the consolidation ofmost common loan modifications by loan classes offered by the two former bank subsidiaries. PriorCompany that are required to consolidation, each bank subsidiary applied a separate allowance methodology based on their respective loan portfolios. The revised methodology incorporates both previous methodologies to align with a consolidated loan portfolio. In addition, beginning in January of 2017, the allowance methodology was expanded to require the allocation of general reserves to pass/watch loans. This change resulted in an increase in allowance for the first quarter of 2017 when comparedbe disclosed pursuant to the fourth quarterrequirements of 2016ASU 2022-02:

Table of Contents
Note 6 – Leases
Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.
The Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

Note 9 - Stock-Based Compensation

At the 2016 annual meeting, stockholders approved the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2016 Stock and Incentive Plan (“2016 Equity Plan”), replacing the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan (“2006 Equity Plan”), which expired on that date. The Company may issue shares of common stock or grant other equity-based awards pursuant to the 2016 Equity Plan. Stock-based awards granted to date generally are time-based, vest in equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date and range over a one-one- to five-year period of time, and, in the case of stock options, expire 10 years from the grant date. As part of the 2016 Equity Plan, a performance equity incentive award program, known as the “Long-term incentive plan” allows participating officers of the Company to earn incentive awards of performance share/restricted stock units if certain pre-determined targets are achieved at the end of a three-year performance cycle. Stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for all awards and reflects forfeitures as they occur. The 2016 Equity Plan originally reserved 750,000 shares of common stock for grant, and 709,873401,868 shares remained available for grant at September 30, 2017.

March 31, 2024.

The following tables provide information on stock-based compensation expenseCompany assumed 3,977 shares of restricted stock and 90,783 of restricted stock units at a fair market value of $11.56 per share as a result of the merger with TCFC. The vesting period for the outstanding restricted stock grants is between three and five years. Restricted stock units and performance stock units vesting period is between one to three years. The recipients of the restricted stock units and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

performance stock units do not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend, or liquidation rights, with respect to the shares underlying awarded restricted stock units until the recipient becomes the record holder of those shares.

Note 10 – Derivatives
The Company maintains and accounts for derivatives, in the form of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and mandatory forward contracts, in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. We recognize gains and losses through mortgage-banking revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
IRLCs on mortgage loans that we intend to sell in the secondary market are similarconsidered derivatives. We are exposed to restricted stock, exceptprice risk from the recipient does not receivetime a mortgage loan is locked in until the stock immediately, but instead receives it upontime the termsloan is sold. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and conditionsclosing and sale of the Company’s long-term incentive plansloan generally ranges from 14 days to 120 days, however, this period may be longer for construction to permanent loans that are originated with the intent of selling in the secondary market upon permanent financing. For these IRLCs and our closed inventory in loans held for sale, we attempt to protect the Bank from changes in interest rates through the use of to be announced (“TBA”) securities, which are subjectforward contracts, as well as, to performance milestones achieved ata significantly lesser degree, loan level commitments in the endform of a three-year period.  Each RSU cliff vests atbest efforts and mandatory forward contracts. These assets and liabilities are included in the end of the three-year periodConsolidated Balance Sheets in other assets and entitles the recipient to receive one share of common stock on a specified issuance date.  The recipient does not have any stockholder rights, including voting rights, with respect to the shares underlying awarded RSUs until the recipient becomes the holder of those shares.

During 2017, the Company entered into a long-term incentive program agreement with officers of the Companyaccrued expenses and its subsidiaries to award RSUs based on a performance metric to be achieved as of December 31, 2019. These awards will cliff vest on this date, in which the final number of common shares to be issued will be determined. The range of RSUs which could potentially be awarded at the end of the performance cycle is between 12,703 shares and 50,830 shares, assuming a certain performance metric is met. The table below presents management’s evaluation of the probable number of common stock awards to be issued at the end of the performance cycle.

During 2016, the Company entered into a long-term incentive program agreement with officers of the Company and its subsidiaries to award RSUs based on a performance metric to be achieved as of December 31, 2018. These awards will cliff vest on this date, in which the final number of common shares to be issued will be determined. The range of RSUs which could potentially be awarded at the end of the performance cycle is between 12,214 shares and 48,871 shares, assuming a certain performance metric is met. In addition, two members of the long-term incentive plan from 2015 forfeited their RSUs due to leaving the Company before the end of the vesting period. The table below presents management’s evaluation of the probable number of common stock awards to be issued at the end of the performance cycle.

During 2015, the Company entered into a long-term incentive program agreement with officers of the Company and its subsidiaries to award RSUs based on performance metrics to be achieved as of December 31, 2017. These awards will cliff vest on this date, in which the final number of common shares to be issued will be determined.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $10.99and $5.03, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of options using the Black-Scholes valuation model with weighted average assumptions for dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected lives (in years). The expected dividend yield is calculated by dividing the total expected annual dividend payout by the average stock price. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the underlying securities. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Federal Reserve Bank’s constant maturities daily interest rate in effect at grant date. The expected contract life of the options represents the period of time that the Company expects the awards to be outstanding based on historical experience with similar awards. The following weighted average assumptions were used as inputsprovides information pertaining to the Black-Scholes valuation model for options granted in 2017carrying amounts of our derivative financial instruments at March 31, 2024 and 2016.

Note 12 – Regulatory Capital
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks’ assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks’ capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (leverage ratio). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, management believes that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
As of December 31, 2023, the most recent notification from our primary regulator categorized the Bank, as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. At March 31, 2024, there were no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change the Bank’s classification. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios, and Tier 1 leverage ratios, which are described below.
The minimum ratios for capital adequacy purposes are 7.00%, 8.50%, 10.50% and 4.00% for the common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios, respectively which include a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% respectively. To be categorized as well capitalized, a bank must maintain minimum ratios of 6.50%, 8.00%, 10.00% and 5.00% for its common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios, respectively.

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements
Accounting guidance under GAAP 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. This accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis and to determine fair value disclosures. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Under fair value accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are grouped 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 their fair values. These hierarchy levels are:
Level 1 inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Below is a discussion on the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Investment Securities Available for Sale
Fair value measurement for investment securities AFS is based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include present value of future cash flows, prepayment assumptions, credit loss assumptions and other factors. The Company classifies its investments in U.S. Treasury securities, if any, as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and it classifies its investments in U.S. Government agencies securities and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government sponsored entities as Level 2.
Equity Securities
Fair value measurement for equity securities is based on quoted market prices retrieved by the Company via on-line resources. Although these securities have readily available fair market values, the Company determined that they should be classified as level 2 investments in the fair value hierarchy due to not being considered traded in a highly active market.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are carried at fair value, which is determined based on Mark to Trade for allocated/committed loans or Mark to Market analysis for unallocated/uncommitted loans based on third-party pricing models (Level 2).
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is determined using a valuation model administered by a third party that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income (Level 3). The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, default rates, cost to service (including delinquency and foreclosure costs), escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, and other ancillary income such as late fees. Management reviews all significant assumptions on a quarterly basis. Mortgage loan prepayment speed, a key assumption in the model, is the annual rate at which borrowers are forecasted to repay their mortgage loan principal. The discount rate used to determine the present value of estimated future net servicing income, another key assumption in the model, is an estimate of the required rate of return investors in the market would require for an asset with similar risk. Both assumptions can, and generally will, change as market conditions and interest rates change.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s residential MSRs are prepayment speeds, probability of default, rate of return, and cost of servicing. Significant increases/decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower/higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for prepayment speeds would have been accompanied by a directionally similar change in the markets, i.e. the 10-Year Treasury, and in the probability of default.

IRLCs
We utilize a third-party specialist model to estimate the fair value of our IRLCs, which are valued based upon mortgage securities (TBA) prices less estimated costs to process and settle the loan. Fair value is adjusted for the estimated probability of the loan closing with the borrower (Level 3).

Forward Contracts
To avoid interest rate risk, we hedge the open locked/closed position with TBA forward trades. On a regular basis, we allocate disbursed loans to mandatory commitments with government-sponsored enterprises and private investors delivering the loans within 120 days of origination to maximize interest earnings. For a small percentage of our business, we enter into best efforts forward sales commitments with investors at the time we make an IRLC to a borrower. Once a loan has been closed and funded, the best efforts commitments convert to mandatory forward sales commitments. The mandatory commitments are derivatives, and we measure and report them at fair value. Fair value is based on the gain or loss that would occur if we were to pair-off the transaction with the investor at the measurement date. This is a Level 2 input. We have elected to measure and report best efforts commitments at fair value, when outstanding, using a valuation methodology similar to that used for mandatory commitments.
Market assumptions utilized in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s residential mortgage derivatives, inclusive of IRLCs, Closed Loan Inventory, TBA derivative trades, and Mandatory Forwards may be subject to investor overlays that may result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Generally such overlays are announced with advanced notice in order to include the risk adjuster, however there are times when announcements are mandated resulting in a lower fair value measurement. Additionally market assumptions such as spec pool payups may result in a significantly higher fair value measurement at time of loan allocation to specific trades.

Table of Contents
Individually Evaluated Collateral-Dependent Loans
Loans for which repayment is substantially expected to be provided through the operation or sale of collateral are considered collateral dependent, and are valued based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell at the reporting date, where applicable. Accordingly, collateral dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other Real Estate Owned (Foreclosed Assets)
Foreclosed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of loans to foreclosed assets establishing a new cost basis. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for foreclosed assets included in Level 3 are determined by independent market based appraisals and other available market information, less costs to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to the initial recognition, the Company records the foreclosed asset as a non-recurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.
Repossessed Properties
The Company records repossessed assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. All repossessed properties are recorded at lower of the estimated fair value of the properties, less expected selling costs, or the carrying amount of the defaulted loans. From time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on current appraised value of property. The Company considers any valuation inputs related to repossessed properties to be Level 3 inputs.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial and nonfinancial assets subject to fair value adjustments (impairment) on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments require disclosure of fair value information, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, when it is practical to estimate the fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contractual obligation which requires the exchange of cash. Certain items are specifically excluded from the financial instrument fair value disclosure requirements, including the Company’s common stock, OREO, premises and equipment and other assets and liabilities.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are presented in the following table. Fair values for March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were estimated using an exit price notion.

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, to meet the financial needs of its customers, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. 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. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit and other commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the letters of credit and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The following table provides information on commitments outstanding at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company provides banking services to customers who do business in the cannabis industry. Prior to the second quarter of 2022, the Company restricted these businesses to include only those in the medical-use cannabis industry in the state of Maryland. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company expanded its cannabis banking program to include both medical and adult-use licensees in other states, with an initial offering to the Company’s existing Maryland customers with multi-state operations. While the Company is providing banking services to customers that are engaged in the growing, processing, and sales of cannabis in a manner that complies with applicable state law, such customers engaged in those activities currently violate Federal laws. The Company may be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the services that it provides to these customers. While we are not aware of any instance of a federally-insured financial institution being subject to such aiding and abetting liability, the strict enforcement of Federal laws regarding cannabis would likely result in the Company’s inability to continue to provide banking services to these customers and the Company could have legal action taken against it by the Federal government, including imprisonment and fines. There is an uncertainty of the potential impact to the

Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements if the Federal government takes actions against the Company. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not accrued an amount for the potential impact of any such actions.
Following is a summary of the level of business activities with our cannabis industry customers:
Deposit and loan balances at March 31, 2024 were approximately $227.6 million, or 4.4% of total deposits, and $73.7 million, or 1.6% of total gross loans, respectively.
Interest and noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were approximately $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in litigation arising from banking, financial, and other activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the future liability, if any, arising out of current proceedings will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results, or liquidity.

Note 1116Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance under GAAP defines fair value asEarnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paidweighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to transfer a liability (an exit price) incommon stockholders by the principal or most advantageous marketweighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the usedilutive effect of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, loans held for sale and other real estate owned (foreclosed assets)potential common stock equivalents (stock-based awards). These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Under fair value accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are grouped 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 their fair values. These hierarchy levels are:

Level 1 inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Below is a discussion on the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Fair value measurement for investment securities available for sale is based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include present value of future cash flows, prepayment assumptions, credit loss assumptions and other factors. The Company classifies its investments in U.S. Treasury securities, if any, as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and it classifies its investments in U.S. Government agencies securities and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government sponsored entities as Level 2.

31


The tables below present the recorded amount of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. No assets were transferred from one hierarchy level to another during the first nine months of 2017 or 2016.

Below is a discussion on the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loan impairment is measured using the present value of expected cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral (less selling costs) if the loans are collateral dependent and these are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable, discounted on management’s review and analysis. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the factors identified above. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

Other Real Estate Owned (Foreclosed Assets)

Foreclosed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value and fair value. The estimated fair value for foreclosed assets included in Level 3 are determined by independent market based appraisals and other available market information, less costs to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to the initial recognition, the Company records the foreclosed asset as a non-recurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various level III inputs which are not identifiable.

(2)

Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

The following information relates to the estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at their carrying amounts. The discussion below describes the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial asset and liability for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include interest-bearing deposits with other banks and federal funds sold. For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities Held to Maturity

For all investments in debt securities, fair values are based on quoted prices. If a quoted price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted prices for similar securities.

33


Loans

The fair values of categories of fixed rate loans, such as commercial loans, residential real estate, and other consumer loans, are 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. Other loans, including variable rate loans, are adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.

Restricted Securities

The restricted security category is comprised of FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock. These stocks are classified as restricted securities because their ownership is restricted to certain types of entities and they lack a market. When the FHLB or Federal Reserve Bank repurchases stock, they repurchase at the stock’s book value. Therefore, the carrying amounts of restricted securities approximate fair value.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The carrying value of bank owned life insurance approximates fair value. The Company records these policies at their cash surrender value, which is estimated using information provided by insurance carriers.

Deposits and Short-Term Borrowings

The fair values of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits are the amounts 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. These estimates do not take into consideration the value of core deposit intangibles. Generally, the carrying amount of short-term borrowings is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair values of securities sold under agreements to repurchase (included in short-term borrowings) and long-term debt are estimated using the rates offered for similar borrowings.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

The majority of the Company’s commitments to grant loans and standby letters of credit are written to carry current market interest rates if converted to loans. In general, commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are not assignable by the Company or the borrower, so they generally have value only to the Company and the borrower. Therefore, it is impractical to assign any value to these commitments.

Note 17 – Revenue Recognition
Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees and merchant income. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the estimated fair valuesrelated revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided.
Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or at the end of the month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.
Trust and Investment Fee Income
38

Table of Contents
Trust and investment fee income primarily comprise fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s financialperformance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and liabilities thatthe applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives.
Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are reportedalso available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.
Title Company Revenue
Title Company revenue consists of revenue earned on performing title work for real estate transactions. The revenue is earned when the balance sheetstitle work is performed. Payment for such performance obligations generally occurs at their carrying amounts. The financial assets and liabilities have been segregated by their classification level in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 12 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Intime of the normal coursesettlement of business, to meet the financial needsa real estate transaction. As such settlement is generally within 90 days of its customers, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. 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. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Lettersthe title work, we recognize the revenue at the time of creditthe settlement.

All contract issuance costs are expensed as incurred. We had no contract assets or liabilities at March 31, 2024.
Other Noninterest Income
Other noninterest income consists of: fees, exchange, other service charges, safety deposit box rental fees, and other commitments generally have fixed expiration datesmiscellaneous revenue streams. Fees and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Mastercard and VISA. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other termination clausesservices. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and may require paymentother service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that rentals and renewals of safe deposit boxes will be recognized on a fee. Because manymonthly basis consistent with the duration of the letters of credit and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.
The most significant accounting policies that the Company follows are presented in Note 1 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement included in the 2023 Annual Report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the notes to the financial statements and in this MD&A, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined that the accounting policies for the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans, goodwill and bargain purchase gain, loans acquired in a business combination and income taxes are critical accounting policies. These policies are considered critical because they relate to accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)”, as amended, on January 1, 2023 and in accordance with ASC 326, has recorded an ACL on loans carried at amortized cost. The ACL represents management’s best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses within the Company's loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The ACL is established through a provision for credit losses and is increased by recoveries of loans previously charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management's assessments confirm that the Company will not collect the full amortized cost basis of a loan. The calculation of expected credit losses is determined using cash flow methodology, and includes considerations of historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that may affect collection of the recorded balances. The Company assesses an ACL to groups of loans which share similar risk characteristics or on an individual basis, as deemed appropriate. Changes in the ACL on loans, and as a result, the related provision for credit losses, can materially affect financial results. Although the overall balance is determined based on specific portfolio segments and individually assessed assets, the entire balance is available to absorb credit losses for loans in the portfolio.
The determination of the appropriate level of ACL on loans inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Company to make significant judgments concerning credit risks and trends using quantitative and qualitative information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, all of which may undergo frequent and significant changes. Changes in conditions, including unforeseen events, changes in asset-specific risk characteristics, and other economic factors, both within and outside the Company's control, may indicate the need for an increase or decrease in the ACL on loans. While management makes every effort to utilize the best information available in making its assessment of the ACL estimate, the estimation process is inherently challenging as potential changes in any time exceptone factor or input may occur at different rates and/or impact pools of loans in different ways. Further, changes in factors and inputs may also be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.
Goodwill and Bargain Purchase Gain
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Determining fair value is subjective, requiring the use of estimates, assumptions and management judgment. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, usually during the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if circumstances dictate. Impairment testing requires a qualitative assessment or that the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units be compared to the carrying amount of its net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than book value, an expense may be required to write down the related goodwill to record an impairment loss.
A bargain purchase gain represents the excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the cost of an acquisition. Determining fair value is subjective, requiring the use of estimates, assumptions and management judgement. Bargain purchase gain is recorded within noninterest income in the period it was generated. An acquirer has a measurement period to finalize the accounting for a business combination which could adjust bargain purchase gain if material facts or circumstances arise.
Loans Acquired in a Business Combination
Acquired loans are classified as either (i) purchase credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) loans or (ii) purchased performing loans and are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.
PCD loans are those for which there is more than insignificant evidence of credit deterioration since origination. When determining fair value, PCD loans are aggregated into pools based on common risk characteristics as of the date of acquisition such as loan type, date of origination, and evidence of credit quality deterioration such as internal risk grades and past due and nonaccrual status. At the acquisition date, the ACL is determined and added to the fair value of the loan to determine the new amortized cost basis. The difference between the new amortized cost basis and the unpaid principal balance is either a noncredit discount or premium that will be amortized or accredited into the interest income over the remaining life of the loan. Disposals of loans, which may include sale of loans to third parties, receipt of payments in full or in part from the borrower or foreclosure of the collateral, result in removal of the loan from the PCD loan portfolio at its carrying amount.
The Company accounts for purchased performing loans using the contractual cash flows method of recognizing discount accretion based on the acquired loans’ contractual cash flows. Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit discount. The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans. Purchased performing loans do not have a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination and have an ACL established in a manner that is consistent with the Company originated loans. The allowance for PCD loans is

determined based upon the Company’s methodology for estimating the allowance under CECL, and is recorded as an adjustment to the acquired loan balance on the date of acquisition. Additionally, upon the purchase or acquisition of non-PCD loans, the Company measures and records a reserve for credit losses based on the Company’s methodology for determining the allowance under CECL. The allowance for non-PCD loans is recorded through a charge to provision for credit losses in the period in which the loans were purchased or acquired.
Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with required accounting guidance. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined by law.

applying the applicable federal and state income tax rates to cumulative temporary differences. These temporary differences represent differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the corresponding tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes result from such temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income, recoverable taxes paid in prior years and tax planning strategies. The Company evaluates all positive and negative evidence before determining if a valuation allowance is deemed necessary regarding the realization of deferred tax assets.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties as a component of tax expense.
The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes in the reserves that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest and penalties. In addition, the Company is subject to the continuous examination of its income tax returns by the IRS and other tax authorities which may assert assessments against the Company. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations and assessments to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company remains subject to examination for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2020.

OVERVIEW
The Company’s net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $8.2 million or $0.25 per diluted common share compared to net income of $10.5 million or $0.32 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2023, and net income of $6.5 million or $0.32 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2023.
First Quarter 2024 Highlights:
Return on Average Assets (“ROAA”) - The Company reported ROAA of 0.57% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 0.72% and 0.75% for the fourth and first quarters of 2023, respectively.
Stable Net Interest Margin - Net interest margin (“NIM”) remained relatively stable at 3.08% for the first quarter of 2024 from 3.09% for the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding net accretion interest income of $3.6 million and $3.0 million for the same time periods, NIM decreased six basis points to 2.81% for the first quarter of 2024 from 2.87% for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Deposit Costs -Decreases in accordancerates on higher cost deposit relationships mitigated margin compression in the first quarter of 2024. For the month of March 2024, asset yields grew more quickly than funding costs which positively impacted the Company’s NIM and may position the Bank to see positive margin movement during the second quarter of 2024. As a result of decreased rates paid on some deposits and expected seasonal cash outflows in the first quarter of 2024, deposits decreased $201.8 million, or 3.7% to $5.2 billion at March 31, 2024 when compared to December 31, 2023. Liquidity remained relatively stable with GAAP.the loan to deposit ratio modestly increasing from 86.2% at December 31, 2023 to 89.7% at March 31, 2024. The financial information containedBank had no brokered deposits or advances at March 31, 2024.
Stable Credit Trends - The Company’s total nonperforming assets to total assets at March 31, 2024 was 0.28% compared to 0.23% at December 31, 2023. The Company’s credit quality metrics remain at historical lows with no signs of significant deterioration or systemic issues within its loan portfolios.
Operational Efficiencies - Management continues to pursue opportunities to increase efficiencies and decrease expenses as a percentage of operating revenues. Following feasibility assessments, management decided to close two branches by the end of the third quarter. The Onley, VA branch should close on or about July 17, 2024 and the Westgate branch located in Annapolis, MD should close on or about September 30, 2024. Limited growth opportunities within the financial statements is, toEastern Shore of Virginia and a significant extent, financial information that is basedconscientious focus 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 either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amountsprofitability led to the methods, assumptions,decision to close the Onley branch. The Westgate branch has limited foot traffic and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined thatis located less than a mile from another SUB branch within the accounting policies with respect to the allowance for credit losses, goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred tax assets, and fair value are critical accounting policies. These policies are considered critical because they relate to accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit lossesCity of Annapolis. Customer disruption is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) Topic 450, “ Contingencies ”, of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable; and (ii) ASC Topic 310, “ Receivables ”, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the loan balance and the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market. Management uses many factors to estimate the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio, including economic conditions and trends, the value and adequacy of collateral, the volume and mix of the loan portfolio, and our internal loan processes. Actual losses could differ significantly from management’s estimates. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another. Although the economics of transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact the transactions could change.

37


Three basic components comprise our allowance for credit losses: (i) the specific allowance; (ii) the formula allowance; and (iii) the unallocated allowance. Each component is determined based on estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur. The specific allowance is established against impaired loans (i.e., nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”)) based on our assessment of the losses that may be associated with the individual loans. The specific allowance remains until charge-offs are made. An impaired loan may show deficiencies in the borrower’s overall financial condition, payment history, support available from financial guarantors and/or the fair market value of collateral. The formula allowance is used to estimate the loss on internally risk-rated loans, exclusive of those identified as impaired. Loans are grouped by type (construction, residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial or consumer). Each loan type is assigned allowance factors based on management’s estimate of the risk, complexity and size of individual loans within a particular category. Loans identified as special mention, substandard, and doubtful are adversely rated. These loans are assigned higher allowance factors than favorably rated loans due to management’s concerns regarding collectability or management’s knowledge of particular elements regarding the borrower. The unallocated allowance captures losses that have impacted the portfolio but have yetexpected to be recognized in either the specific or formula allowance.

Management has significant discretion in making the adjustments inherent in the determination of the provision and allowance for credit losses, including in connection with the valuation of collateral, the estimation of a borrower’s prospects of repayment, and the establishment of the allowance factors in the formula allowance and unallocated allowance components of the allowance.limited. These closures are estimated to cost $0.2 million. The establishment of allowance factorsCompany is a continuing exercise, based on management’s ongoing assessment of the totality of all factors, including, but not limitedexpected to delinquencies, loss history, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in lending policy, the experience and depth of management, national and local economic trends, concentrations of credit, the quality of the loan review system and the effect of external factors suchreduce four positions as competition and regulatory requirements, and their impact on the portfolio. Allowance factors may change from period to period, resulting in an increase or decrease in the amount of the provision or allowance, based on the same volume and classification of loans. Changes in allowance factors will have a direct impact on the amount of the provision, and a corresponding effect on net income.

Additionally, the portfolio could resultCompany plans to reduce professional office space located in Easton, MD. By the allowance not being adequate to cover losses in the portfolio, and may result in additional provisions or charge-offs.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excessend of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Goodwill and other intangible assets are required to be recorded at fair value. Determining fair value is subjective, requiring the use of estimates, assumptions and management judgment. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment, usually during the third quarter, ora newly renovated office building is expected to be put into service eliminating the need for two currently-occupied office buildings. In the second quarter, the Company expects to begin marketing for sale the two redundant office properties. Recent appraisals on an interim basis if circumstances dictate. Intangiblethese properties exceed the Bank’s cost bases resulting in no impairment. At the present time, the two properties remain in service, are not listed for immediate sale, and are classified as active assets that have finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and also are subjecton our balance sheet. Once these properties meet the accounting criteria they will be moved to impairment testing. Impairment testing requires that the fair valueheld for sale.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING RESULTS
A comparison of the Company’s reporting units be compared to the carrying amountresults of its net assets, including goodwill. The Company’s reporting units were identified based on an analysis of each of its individual operating segments (i.e., the Bank and Insurance Subsidiaries). If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than book value, an expense may be required to write down the related goodwill or purchased intangibles to record an impairment loss.

Fair Value

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the measurements made on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Significant financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are investment securities. Impaired loans and other real estate owned are significant financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous marketoperations for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants onthree months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 is presented below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

OVERVIEW

Summary of Financial Results
The Company reported net income of $3.4 million for the third quarterthree months ended March 31, 2024 of 2017,$8.2 million or $0.25 diluted incomeearnings per common share of $0.27, compared to net income of $2.4$6.5 million or diluted incomeearnings per common share of $0.19,$0.32 for the third quarter of 2016. For the second quarter of 2017, the Company reported net income of $2.4 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.19. When comparing the third quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2016, the primary reasonsthree months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s ROAA, ROACE1 and ROATCE2 were 0.57%, 6.38% and 13.39%, respectively, for improved net income were increases in net interest income of $2.7 million,  noninterest income of $418 thousand and a reduction in provision for credit losses of $260 thousand, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $1.5 million. When comparing the third quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2017, the higher net income was primarily attributable to increases in net interest income of $1.4 million, noninterest income of $246 thousand, and a reduction in provision for credit losses of $629 thousand, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $521 thousand. These increases were a direct result of operating the three branches acquired from NWBI for a full quarter. The reduction in provision for credit losses was due to a large charge-off in the second quarter of 2017 which was the result of one borrowing relationship. 

For the first nine months of 2017, the Company reported net income of $8.6 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.67,ended March 31, 2024 compared to net income of $7.1 million, or diluted income per common share of $0.56,0.75%, 7.25% and 10.09%, respectively, for the first ninethree months of 2016. Earnings improved due to increases in net interest income of $4.9 million and noninterest income of $822 thousand, partially offset by increases in provision for credit losses of $316 thousand and noninterest expenses of $2.6 million, of which $977 thousand related to acquisition costs from the branch purchase.

Fluctuations in net interest income can result from the combination of changes in the average balances of asset and liability categories and changes in interest rates. Interest rates earned and paid are affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by competitive factors, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
Net interest income was $41.1 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $41.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $25.7 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income when compared to the thirdfourth quarter of 20162023 was primarily due to an increase in interest income of $2.7 million, or 26.1%, partially offset by anthe increase in interest expense of $33 thousand, or 6.1%. The increase in net interest income compared to the second quarter of 2017 was primarily due to an increase in interest income of $1.5$0.4 million or 12.9%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $62 thousand, or 11.3%. Net interest margin is tax-equivalent net interest income (annualized) divided by average earning assets. The net interest margin increased in the third quarter of 2017 to 3.79% when compared to both the third quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2017 of 3.54% and 3.73%, respectively.

Interest Income

On a tax-equivalent basis, interest income increased $2.7 million, or 26.1%, for the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $2.4 million, or 24.9%, increase in interest income and fees on loans. This increase was due to a $197.6 million, or 23.6% increase in the average balance of loans which primarily resultedresulting from the purchase of $122.9 million in loans from NWBI in the second quarter of 2017 and organic loan growth of $70.2 million. The average yield on loans increased 4 bps, which increased from 4.50% to 4.54%, primarily due to the higher yielding loan portfolio acquired from NWBI relative to the Bank’s legacy portfolio. In addition, interest and dividends on taxable investment securities increased $280 thousand, or 37.1%, during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period last year, primarily the result of a $28.4 million, or 14.9% increase in the average balance of taxable investment securities which was partially funded by the excess cash received from the branch purchase.  

On a tax-equivalent basis, interest income increased $1.5 million, or 12.9%, for the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the second quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to a $1.3 million, or 12.7%, increase in interest income and fees on loans. This increase was due to a $81.5 million, or 8.6% increase in the average balance of loans due to the full quarter impact of the loans acquired from NWBI. The average yield on loans increased 12 bps, which increased from 4.42% to 4.54%. In addition, interest and dividends on taxable investment securities increased $97 thousand, or 104%, during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the linked quarter, primarily the result of a $20.5 million, or 10.4% increase in the average balance of taxable investment securities. 

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $33 thousand, or 5.7%, when comparing the third quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2016.  The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits of $150.5 million, or 20.3%,$70.9 million. The increase when compared to the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the result of the acquisition of interest-bearingincrease in interest and fees on loans, interest on deposits from NWBI amounting to $177.9 millionother banks, a decrease in interest on short term borrowings partially offset by the second quarter of 2017, which had a balance of $186.0 million at September 30, 2017. Despite the significant increase in average interest-bearinginterest on deposits and interest on long-term borrowings all significantly impacted by the rates paid on these deposits declined 4 bps. The average balance on noninterest-bearing deposits increased $75.4 million, or 30.8%, and the average balance on short-term borrowings decreased $4.8 million, or 67.9%, allmerger of which resultedequals with TCFC in a lower cost of funding for the third quarter of 2017 when compared2023.

The Company’s NIM decreased slightly to 3.08% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.

Interest expense increased $62 thousand, or 11.3%, when comparing2024 from 3.09% for the thirdfourth quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2017.  The increase in interest expense was2023 primarily due to an increase in the average balanceoverall mix of total interest-bearing deposits compared to non-interest-bearing deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $70.9 million which resulted in a two basis point rate increase. In addition to the change in deposit mix, rates on money market and time deposits also increased, which were partly offset by lower rates on demand deposits. The Company’s NIM decreased to 3.08% for the first quarter of $98.4 million, or 12.4%, primarily2024 from 3.18% for the resultfirst quarter of a full2023. Comparing the first quarter impact of 2024 to the deposits acquiredfirst quarter of 2023, the Company’s interest-earning asset yields increased 98 basis points to 5.32% from NWBI,4.34%, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits remained unchanged. Interest expense on short-term borrowings declined $7 thousand, or 63.6% which contributed to a 1bp decline in the overall cost of funds when comparingrepriced at a faster pace resulting in an increase of 109 basis points to 2.31% from 1.22% for the third quarter 2017 to the second quarter 2017.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 increased $418 thousand, or 10.4%, when compared to2024 was $6.6 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from $7.5 million for the thirdfourth quarter of 2016.2023 and an increase $1.2 million from $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily due to other noninterest income, which included decreases in other fees on bank services and other loan fee income, decreases in mortgage banking revenue and trust and investment fee income. The increase from the thirdfirst quarter of 20162023 was primarily due to higher service chargesother noninterest income, which included increases in other loan fee income, gains on life insurance contracts and fees on deposit accounts, higheran increase in credit card income, increases in trust and investment fee income higher insurance agency commissions and interchange credits all a positive result on an insurance agency investment recorded in other income, partially offset by higher recognized gains on investment securitiesof the merger in the third quarter of 2016. 2023.
Noninterest incomeExpense
Total noninterest expense of $36.7 million for the first quarter of 2024 increased $246 thousand, or 5.9%$3.0 million when compared to the secondfourth quarter of 2017 mainly due to service charges on deposit accounts for a full quarter on the deposits acquired in the branch purchase, higher insurance agency commissions2023 expense of $33.7 million and an increase on an insurance agency investment included in other noninterest income.

Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $822 thousand, or 6.5%,$15.8 million when compared to the same period in 2016.first quarter of 2023 expense of $20.9 million. The increase was primarily due to increases in insurance agency commissions of $185 thousand and other noninterest income of $538 thousand which included higher fees on bank services of $241 thousand and positive earnings from an insurance investment of $274 thousand. 

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense for the thirdfourth quarter of 2017 increased $1.5 million, or 16.3%, when compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase in noninterest expenses for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 20162023 was primarily due to operating three additional branches, acquisition costscredit card fraud expense of $4.3 million, and increasesan increase in employee benefits due to the higher insurance premiums paid for group insurance and higherof $0.7 million partially offset by decreases in salaries and wages due to pay increases implemented in the first quarterexpense of 2017. Total noninterest$1.0 million, merger-related expenses increased $521 thousand, or 5.1%, when compared to the second quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to a full quarter of operating three additional branches acquired in the second quarter of 2017. The branch purchase resulted in increases in salary and wages, employee benefits,$0.6 million, and FDIC insurance premium expense which were partially offset by lower legal and professional fees which were elevated inof $0.6 million. The increase from the secondfirst quarter due to the acquisition.

Total noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $2.6 million, or 9.5%, when compared to the same period in 2016. The increaseof 2023 was primarily due to the branch purchase in the second quarterother noninterest expense, salaries, amortization of 2017 which resulted in acquisition costs of $977 thousandintangibles, employee benefits, data processing, and the cost of operating those branches for four months. In addition, higher salaries/wages and employee benefits resultedcredit card fraud expenses. Other than the credit card fraud expenses, all noninterest expenses categories were significantly impacted by the merger in increased non-interest expenses which were partially offset by a decrease in FDIC insurance premiums.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $345 thousand for the third quarter of 2017, $605 thousand for the third quarter of 2016 and $974 thousand for the second quarter of 2017. The lower level of provision for credit losses when comparing the third quarter of 2017 to both the third quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2017 was driven by lower charge-offs and improved credit quality.The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, while net charge-offs were $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The increase in provision for credit losses primarily occurred in the second quarter of 2017 due to the partial charge-off of a negotiated restructured commercial loan. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.16% for the first nine months of September 30, 2017 and 0.19% for the same period in 2016.

Income Taxes

For the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, the

The Company reported income tax expense of $2.3$2.4 million for the first quarter of 2024, and $1.4income tax expense of $2.4 million respectively, whilefor the first quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 was 22.8% and 27.4% for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate was 40.0% and 37.3%, respectively. The increase indue to a re-assessment of year-end 2023 tax rates fordeductions during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 when compared2024 which presented favorable differences. Due to the same periodtiming of the re-assessment, the differences were recorded in 2016the first quarter of 2024 to reduce significant tax return to provision adjustments when the 2023 tax return is filed and to properly calculate the effective tax rate. The Company’s estimated effective tax rate applied to net deferred tax assets of $39.0 million at March 31, 2024 was due27.52%. The Bank's deferred taxes are recorded at 26.00%. As of March 31, 2024 the Company recorded $23.2 million and $39.2 million of gross federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOL’s”). These NOL’s will offset future taxable income to higher pretax income. Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $1.3Company.

Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets were $5.8 billion at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $185.2 million or 29.9%3.1%, when compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due higher taxable income of $2.7 million which increased tax rates from 38.0% in the prior period to 39.9% for the 2017 period.     

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans

Loans totaled $1.0$6.0 billion at September 30, 2017 and $871.5 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $175.5 million, or 20.2%.2023. The significant increaseaggregate decrease was primarily due to loans acquired from NWBI of $122.9 million, which had a balance of $116.5 million at September 30, 2017. Excluding the loans acquired from NWBI, total loans increased $58.8 million, or 6.7%. The most significant categories which increased organically were construction of $18.8 million, residential real estate of $18.6 million and commercial of $18.6 million. Loans included deferred costs, net of deferred fees, of $632 thousand and discounts on acquired loans of $2.0 million at September 30, 2017. Loans included deferred costs, net of deferred fees, of $509 thousand at December 31, 2016. We do not engage in foreign or subprime lending activities. See Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and below under the caption “Allowance for Credit Losses” for additional information.

Our loan portfolio has a commercial real estate loan concentration, which is defined as a combination of construction and commercial real estate loans. Construction loans were $106.6 million, or 10.2% of total loans, at September 30, 2017, higher than the $84.0 million, or 9.6% of total loans at December 31, 2016. Commercial real estate loans were $454.6 million, or 43.4% of total loans, at September 30, 2017, compared to $382.7 million, or 43.9% of total loans at December 31, 2016.

The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential commercial real estate concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land acquisitions which represent

42


100% or more of an institution’s total risk-based capital; or (2) total commercial real estate loans representing 300% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital and the institution’s commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential commercial real estate concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their commercial real estate portfolios, and may be required to hold higher levels of capital. The Company, like many community banks, has a concentration in commercial real estate loans, and the Company has experienced significant growth in its commercial real estate portfolio in recent years. At September 30, 2017, non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans (including construction, land and land development loans) represented  269.9% of total risk based capital. At such time, construction, land and land development loans represented 79.4% of total risk based capital.

The commercial real estate portfolio has increased 95.3% during the prior 36 months. Management has extensive experience in commercial real estate lending, and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures, and strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio. Monitoring practices include periodic stress testing analysis to evaluate changes to cash flows, owing to interest rate increases and declines in net operating income. We may be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our commercial real estate concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital, and may adversely affect shareholder returns.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We have established an allowance for credit losses, which is increased by provisions charged against earnings and recoveries of previously charged-off debts and is decreased by current period charge-offs of uncollectible debts. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses at least quarterly and adjusts the provision for credit losses based on this analysis. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is based primarily on a risk rating system of individual loans, as well as on a collective evaluation of smaller balance homogenous loans, each grouped by loan type. Each loan type is assigned allowance factors based on criteria such as past credit loss experience, local economic and industry trends, and other measures which may impact collectability. Please refer to the discussion above under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” for an overview of the underlying methodology management employs to maintain the allowance.

Net charge-offs were $182 thousand for the third quarter of 2017 and $349 thousand for the third quarter of 2016. Management remains focused on its efforts to dispose of problem loans and to prudently charge-off nonperforming assets to enable the Company to continue to improve its overall credit quality. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loans was 0.89% as of September 30, 2017 and 1.00% for both December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016. The decrease in such ratio at September 30, 2017 was due to the performing loans acquired in the NWBI transaction with no associated allowance since they were recorded at fair value. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loans, excluding the acquired loans from NWBI was 1.00% at September 30, 2017. Management believes that the provision for credit losses and the resulting allowance were adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio at September 30, 2017.

Nonperforming Assets and Accruing TDRs

As shown in the following table, nonperforming assets decreased $3.4 million to $8.1 million at September 30, 2017 from $11.5 million at December 31, 2016, primarily due to decreases in nonaccrual loanscash and cash equivalents of $2.7$257.9 million and other real estate ownedinvestment securities held to maturity (“HTM”) of $668 thousand. Accruing TDRs increased $493 thousand to $13.5$9.4 million at September 30, 2017 from $13.0partially offset by an increase in investment securities available for sale (“AFS”) of $69.0 million at December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to a significant nonaccrual TDR being upgraded to an accruing TDR during the third quarterand loans held for investment of 2017.$7.7 million. The ratio of nonaccrualthe ACL on loans to total loans decreased to 0.60% at September 30, 2017 from 1.03%1.24% at December 31, 2016 which was primarily2023 to 1.23% at March 31, 2024.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $114.6 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $372.4 million at December 31, 2023. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate due to transactions in process and other liquidity demands. Management believes liquidity needs are satisfied by the acquired performing loans from NWBI. Excludingcurrent balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and wholesale funding sources, and the acquired loans from NWBIportions of the ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans decreased to 0.68% at September 30, 2017.

The Company continues to focus on the resolution of its nonperforminginvestment and problem loans. The efforts to accomplish this goal include frequently contacting borrowers until the delinquency is cured or until an acceptable payment plan has been agreed upon; obtaining updated appraisals; provisioning for credit losses; charging-off loans; transferring loans to other real estate owned; aggressively marketing other real estate owned; and selling loans. The reduction of nonperforming and problem loans is and will continue to be a high priority for the Company.

Our loan portfolio has a commercial real estate loan (“CRE”) concentration, which is generally defined as a combination of certain construction and CRE loans. The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential CRE concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land acquisitions which represent 100% or more of an institution’s total risk-based capital; or (2) total non-owner occupied CRE loans representing 300% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital and the institution’s non-owner occupied CRE loan portfolio (including construction) has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential CRE concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in CRE estate lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their CRE portfolios, and may be required to hold higher levels of capital. The Bank has a concentration in CRE loans, and has experienced significant growth in its CRE portfolio in recent years and was further impacted with its acquisition of CBTC in the third quarter of 2023. Non-owner occupied CRE loans as a percentage of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital + ACL at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $1.2$2.0 billion or 370.0% and $2.0 billion or 382.6%, respectively. Construction loans as a $208.7percentage of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital + ACL at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $299.1 million or 20.9%54.9% and $299.0 million or 56.7%, increaserespectively.
The CRE portfolio (including construction) has increased significantly in the past two years. Management has extensive experience in CRE lending, and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures, as well as strong underwriting criteria with respect to its CRE portfolio. Monitoring practices include stress testing analysis to evaluate changes in collateral values and to cash flows from interest rate increases and declines in net operating income. We may be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our CRE concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital or be required to sell/participate portions of loans, which may adversely affect stockholder returns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is our ability to meet cash demands as they arise. Cash needs may come from loan demand, deposit withdrawals or acquisition opportunities. Potential obligations resulting from the issuance of standby letters of credit and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan customers are other factors affecting our liquidity needs. Many of these obligations and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements affecting our liquidity position.
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows. Customer deposits are considered the primary source of funds supporting the Bank’s lending and investment activities.
Based on management’s going concern evaluation, we believe that there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s or the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year of the date of the issuance of the financial statements.
The Bank’s principal sources of funds for investment and operations are net income, deposits, sales of loans, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, principal and interest received on investment securities and proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities. The Bank’s principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans, the purchase of securities and the payment of maturing deposits.
The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows.
Liquidity is provided by access to funding sources, which include core depositors and brokered deposits. Other sources of funds include our ability to borrow, such as purchasing federal funds from correspondent banks, sales of securities under agreements to repurchase and advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. The Bank uses wholesale funding (brokered deposits and other sources of funds) to supplement funding when loan growth exceeds core deposit growth and for asset-liability management purposes.
We derive liquidity through increased customer deposits, maturities innon-reinvestment of the cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan repayments, borrowings and income from earning assets. As seen in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, in the Financial Statements, the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $32.0$257.9 million for the first ninethree months of 20172024 compared to an increase in casha decrease of $1.3$17.8 million for the first ninethree months of 2016.2023. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in 2017the first quarter of 2024 was mainly due to receiving excess cash from the NWBI branch transaction which was used to purchase available-for-sale securities and paydown short-term borrowings.

decrease of $144.9 million in interest-bearing deposits.

To the extent that deposits are not adequate to fund customer loan demand, liquidity needs can be met in the short-term funds markets throughfund markets. The Bank has arrangements with other correspondent banks. The Bank had $15banks whereby it has $45.0 million available in federal funds lines of credit and a reverse repurchase agreement available on ato meet any short-term basis fromneeds which may not otherwise be funded by the Bank’s portfolio of readily marketable investments that can be converted to cash. At March 31, 2024, the Bank had approximately $1.2 billion of available liquidity including: $114.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, $321.0 million in unpledged securities, $782.2 million in secured borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Atlanta and the other correspondent banks at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.of $66.1 million. The Bank is also a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, which provides another source of liquidity. Through the FHLB of Atlanta, the Bank had credit availabilityavailable lendable collateral of approximately $222.0$782.2 million and $205.1$745.1 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2016,2023, respectively. These lines of credit are paid for monthly on a fee basis of 0.425%. The Bank has pledged, under a blanket lien, all qualifying residential and commercial real estate loans under borrowing agreements with the FHLB. Management is not awareFHLB of any demands, commitments, events or uncertaintiesAtlanta.
The Bank and the Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are likelyalso subject to materially affect our future abilityqualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Company to maintain liquidity at satisfactory levels.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $8.3 million to $162.6 million at September 30, 2017 when compared to December 31, 2016 primarily due to current year’s earnings.

Basel III

The FRB and the FDIC approved the final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's (“BCBS”) capital guidelines for U.S. banks. Under the final rules, minimum requirements increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Company. The rules included a new common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets minimum ratio of 4.5%, raise the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0%, require a minimum ratio of Total Capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. A new capital conservation buffer, comprisedratios of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital was also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer became effective as a percentage of January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until reaching its finaloff-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 12.50%. The Bank and Company are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level of 2.5%based on January 1, 2019. Strict eligibility criteria forquarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. The Bank and the Company were deemed “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory capital instrumentsrequirements at March 31, 2024.

Return on Average Common Equity (“ROACE”)
The ROACE is a financial ratio that measures the profitability of a company in relation to the average stockholders' equity. This financial metric is expressed in the form of a percentage which is equal to net income after tax divided by the average stockholders' equity for a specific period of time.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROATCE”)
ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common stockholders by average tangible common shareholders' equity. Management believes that ROATCE is meaningful because it measures the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or internally developed. ROATCE is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Item 3.3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Our primary market risk is interest rate fluctuation, and management has procedures in place to evaluate and mitigate this risk. This risk and these procedures are discussed in Item 7 of Part II, Item 7A of the 20162023 Annual Report under the caption “Market Risk“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Management and Interest Sensitivity”. Management believesrecognizes that thererecent increases in interest rates have been no material changes in ourhad an impact on the Company’s market risks, therisk. The procedures used to evaluate and mitigate these risks orremain unchanged, and we continue to monitor our actual and simulated sensitivity positions since December 31, 2016.

Item 4.4 – Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Shore Bancshares, Inc.the Company files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) with the SEC, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Shore Bancshares, Inc.’s principal executive officer (“CEO”PEO”) and its principal accountingfinancial officer (“PAO”PFO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEOPEO and the PAO.PFO. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEOPEO and the PAO, hasPFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact,were not effective at the reasonable assurance level at September 30, 2017.

There was no changeMarch 31, 2024 due to the material weakness in ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management assessed the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024. This assessment was conducted based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).” Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2024 due to the material weaknesses identified below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management identified a material weakness caused by improperly designed preventative controls and insufficient monitoring controls of the online credit card account opening process, which resulted in a material fraud loss during the quarter-ended March 31, 2024.
Management identified a previously disclosed material weakness associated with ineffective input review controls relating to specific aspects of the Company’s ACL model and a previously disclosed material weakness in relation to deferred income taxes discussed in Part II, Item 9A of the 2023 Annual Report. Management’s assessment concluded that the deferred income tax material weakness had been fully remediated as of March 31, 2024. Management continues to follow its remediation plan with respect to the review of controls related to the allowance for credit losses.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses
Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee, is actively engaged in remediating the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that existed as of March 31, 2024. In response to the material weaknesses identified above, the Company is in the process of implementing changes to its internal control over financial reporting.
Specifically in relation to the material weakness identified related to the online credit card account opening process, remediation began immediately upon detection on April 1, 2024, by completely closing the online application portal and suspending the opening of all new credit card accounts using the automated online account opening application hosted by the Company’s third party credit card processor. The Company reviewed all accounts opened on or after February 1, 2024, and closed those deemed to be fraudulent including all accounts/cards opened on or after March 28, 2024, to ensure no additional loss to the Bank.
The Company is evaluating whether to sell and exit the credit card issuer program or to retain the portfolio and outsource the management of the opening of new accounts and ongoing transaction monitoring to an experienced third-party. In the event that the Company continues

the credit card program, it will need to establish controls to address and mitigate this material weakness. We expect that the remediation of the online credit card account opening material weakness will be completed prior to the end of 2024.
Specifically in relation to the allowance for credit losses, management has continued to follow the remediation plan outlined in the 2023 Annual Report. This plan includes compiling a detailed inventory of significant inputs to the allowance for credit losses calculation and, reevaluating the relevant SOX control design and operation to ensure all significant inputs to the allowance for credit losses calculation are recorded timely and accurately. In addition, management expects to conduct a detailed data audit to effectively ensure the completeness and accuracy of select inputs to the allowance for credit losses calculation. We expect that the allowance for credit losses material weakness will be fully remediated prior to the end of 2024.
Management will consider the material weaknesses remediated once the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there were no additional changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of 20172024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The risks

There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed under Item 1A in our 2023 Annual Report and uncertaintiesthose referenced in other reports on file with the SEC, other than those set forth below:
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls, and cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act and for evaluating and reporting on that system of internal control. Management identified control deficiencies related to the Bank’s online credit card activation system which delayed the detection and mitigation of fraudulent credit card account openings, along with a previously disclosed material weakness associated with ineffective input review controls relating to specific aspects of the Company’s ACL model discussed in detail inPart II, Item 1A of Part I9A of the 2016Company’s 2023 Annual Report. Management doesAccordingly, management determined that these control deficiencies constituted material weaknesses and, as a result, has concluded that as of March 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was not believeeffective based on the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
While our management is taking steps to remediate the material weaknesses, we cannot provide any assurance that such remedial measures, or any other remedial measures we take, will be effective. In the future, we may identify additional material changesweaknesses or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting or adequate disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material errors in our risk factors have occurred since they were last disclosedfinancial statements or cause us to fail to meet our period reporting obligations.
