DebtSecurities
Debt securities are classified based on the Company’s intention on the date of purchase. All debt securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of the deferred income tax effects. Securities that the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at historical cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Interest and dividends on securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts calculated under the effective interest method, are included in interest income. For certain securities, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts is computed based on the anticipated life of the security which may be shorter than the stated life of the security. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method and are recorded on the trade date of the sale.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was signed into law on March 21, 2021, provides additional relief for businesses, states, municipalities and individuals by, among other things, allocating additional funds for the PPP. Effective May 28, 2021, the PPP was closed to new applications. The Company funded approximately 7,400 loans for a total amount of $1.5 billion for clients under the PPP since April 2020. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unaccreted deferred loan origination fees, net of costs, related to PPP loans totaled $11.9 million and $17.8 million, respectively. PPP loan origination fees recorded to interest income totaled $5.2 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and totaled $22.3 million and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. PPP loans outstanding totaled $387.7 million and $900.5 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The allowanceAs described in Note 9 - Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, which introduced the CECL methodology for loanestimating all expected losses is maintained atover the life of a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent infinancial asset. Under the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, economic conditions and other risks inherent in the portfolio. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of the estimated cash flows. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically reviewCECL methodology, the allowance for credit losses is measured on loans. Such agencies may requirea collective basis for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. For loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with the Companycollectively evaluated pools, evaluations are performed on an individual basis. For all loan segments collectively evaluated, losses are predicted over a period of time determined to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to thembe reasonable and supportable, and at the timeend of their examination.the reasonable and supportable forecast period losses are reverted to long-term historical averages. The estimated loan losses for all loan segments are adjusted for changes in qualitative factors not inherently considered in the quantitative analyses.
The methodology utilizedCompany uses the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method to estimate ACL for the calculation of the allowance for loan losses is divided into four distinct categories. Those categories include allowances for non-impaired loans (ASC 450), impaired loans (ASC 310), external qualitative factors, and internal qualitative factors. A description of each category of the allowance for loan loss methodology is listed below.
Non-Impaired Loans. Non-impaired loans are grouped into homogeneousall loan pools by loan type and are the following:except for commercial and industrial, construction and development, commercial real estate, second lien home equityrevolving lines of credit and credit cards. For all other loans. loan pools utilizing the DCF method, the Company utilizes and forecasts national unemployment rate as a loss driver. The Company also utilizes and forecasts GDP growth as a second loss driver for its agricultural and consumer loan pools. Consistent forecasts of the loss drivers are used across the loan segments. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company utilized a reasonable and supportable forecast period of twelve months followed by a six-month straight-line reversion to long-term averages. The Company leveraged economic projections from reputable and independent sources to inform its loss driver forecasts. The Company expects national unemployment to remain above pre-pandemic levels over the forecast period with an improved national GDP growth rate as the economy comes back on-line over the next year.
The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for its C&I lines of credit and credit card pools. The C&I lines of credit pool incorporates a probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) modeling approach. This approach involves estimating the pool average life and then using historical correlations of default and loss experience over time to calculate the lifetime PD and LGD. These two inputs are then applied to the outstanding pool balance. The credit card pool incorporates a remaining life modeling approach, which utilizes an attrition-based method to estimate the remaining life of the pool. A quarterly average loss rate is then calculated using the Company’s historical loss data. The model reduces the pool balance quarterly on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the pool. The quarterly loss rate is multiplied by the outstanding balance at each period-end resulting in an estimated loss for each quarter. The sum of estimated loss for all quarters is the total calculated reserve for the pool. Management has applied the loss-rate method to C&I lines of credit and to credit cards due to their generally short-term nature. An expected loss ratio is applied based on internal and peer historical losses.
Each loan pool is stratified by internal risk rating and multiplied by a loss allocation percentage derived from the loan pool historical loss rate. The historical loss rate is based on an age weighted five year history of net charge-offs experienced by pool, with the most recent net charge-off experience given a greater weighting. This resultsadjusted for qualitative factors not inherently considered in the expected loss rate per year, adjusted by aquantitative analyses. The qualitative adjustment factoradjustments either increase or decrease the quantitative model estimation. The Company considers factors that are relevant within the qualitative framework which include the following: lending policy, changes in nature and a years-to-impairment factor, for each poolvolume of loans, to derive the total amountstaff experience, changes in volume and trends of allowance for non-impaired loans.problem loans, concentration risk, trends in underlying collateral values, external factors, quality of loan review system and other economic conditions.
Impaired Loans. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the loan agreement. The collection of all amounts due according to contractual terms means that both the contractual interest and principal payments of a loan will be collected as scheduledInherent risks in the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measuredportfolio will differ based on the present valuetype of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of collateral, reducedloan. Specific risk characteristics by costs to sell on a discounted basis, is used if a loan is collateral-dependent. Fair value estimates for specifically impaired collateral-dependent loansportfolio segment are derived from appraised values based on the current market value or “as is” value of the property, normally from recently received and reviewed appraisals. Appraisals are obtained from certified and licensed appraisers and are based on certain assumptions, which may include construction or development status and the highest and best use of the property.These appraisals are reviewed by our credit administration department, and values are adjusted downward to reflect anticipated disposition costs. Once this estimated net realizable value has been determined, the value used in the impairment assessment is updated for each impaired loan. As subsequent events dictate and estimated net realizable values decline, required reserves may be established or further adjustments recorded.listed below:
External Qualitative FactorsCommercial and industrial. The determinationloans include risks associated with borrower’s cash flow, debt service coverage and management’s expertise. These loans are subject to the risk that the Company may have difficulty converting collateral to a liquid asset if necessary, as well as risks associated with degree of the portionspecialization, mobility and general collectability in a default situation. These commercial loans may be subject to many different types of the allowance for loan losses relating to external qualitative factors is based on consideration of the following factors: gross domestic product growth rate,risks, including fraud, bankruptcy, economic downturn, deteriorated or non-existent collateral, and changes in prime rate, delinquency trends, peer delinquency trends, year-over-year loan growth and state unemployment rate trends. Data for the three most recent periods is utilized in the calculation for each external qualitative component. The factors have a consistent weighted methodology to calculate the amount of allowance due to external qualitative factors.interest rates.
Internal Qualitative FactorsReal estate construction. The determinationloans include risks associated with the borrower’s credit-worthiness, contractor’s qualifications, borrower and contractor performance, and the overall risk and complexity of the portionproposed project. Construction lending is also subject to risks associated with sub-market dynamics, including population, employment trends and household income. During times of economic stress, this type of loan has typically had a greater degree of risk than other loan types.
Real estate mortgageloans consist of loans secured by commercial and residential real estate. Commercial real estate lending is dependent upon successful management, marketing and expense supervision necessary to maintain the property. Repayment of these loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate market or the general economy. Also, commercial real estate loans typically involve relatively large loan balances to a single borrower. Residential real estate lending risks are generally less significant than those of other loans. Real estate lending risks include fluctuations in the value of real estate, bankruptcies, economic downturn and customer financial problems.
Consumer loans carry a moderate degree of risk compared to other loans. They are generally more risky than traditional residential real estate loans but less risky than commercial loans. Risk of default is usually determined by the well-being of the allowance for loan losses relating to internal qualitative factorslocal economies. During times of economic stress, there is based onusually some level of job loss both nationally and locally, which directly affects the consideration of criteria which includes the following: number of extensions and deferrals, single pay and interest only loans, current financial information, credit concentrations and risk grade accuracy. A self-assessment for eachability of the criteria is made with a consistent weighted methodology usedconsumer to calculate the amount of allowance required for internal qualitative factors.repay debt.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments and changesletters of credit to provide for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the allowance for loancredit losses for loans, modified to take into account the three probability of a drawdown on the commitment. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is classified as a liability account on the balance sheet within other liabilities, while the corresponding provision for these credit losses is recorded as a component of other expense. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $3.0 million at September 30, 2021 and nine$2.2 million at December 31, 2020. The provision expense for unfunded commitments was reduced by $300,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 2021 and was $800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. 2021. The totalprovision expense for unfunded commitments was $0 for both corresponding periods in 2020. Prior to January 1, 2020, except quarterly periods in 2020 which were not restated, the allowance for losses on unfunded loan commitments was calculated using an incurred losses is disaggregated into those amounts associated with loans individually evaluated and those associated with loans collectively evaluated.methodology.

On March 22, 2020, an Interagency Statement was issued by banking regulators that encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak declared by the President of the United States under the National Emergencies Act terminates. The Interagency Statement was subsequently revised in April 2020 to clarify the interaction of the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as well as setting forth the banking regulators’ views on consumer protection considerations. On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021, which extended the period established by Section 4013 of the CARES Act to the earlier of January 1, 2022 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national COVID-19 emergency terminates. In accordance with such guidance, the Bank is offering short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who are current and otherwise not past due. These include short-term (180 days or less) modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. As of September 30, 2021, there were 18 loans outstanding totaling $2.7 million that have payment deferrals in connection with the COVID-19 relief provided by the CARES Act. All of these remaining deferrals are principal and interest deferrals. The CARES Act precluded all of the Company’s impaired loansCOVID-19 loan modifications from being classified as a TDR as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Loans which have been fully charged off do not appear in the tables.2021.

The Company periodically grants restricted stock awards that vest upon time-based service conditions. Dividend payments are made during the vesting period. The value of restricted stock is determined to be the current value of the Company’s stock, and this total value will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. As of September 30, 2017, 2021, there was $543,000$3.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested time-based restricted stock. The cost is expected to be recognized evenly over the remaining 1.22.4 years of the restricted stock’s vesting period.
The Company periodically grants performance shares that give plan participants the opportunity to earn between 0% and 150% of the number of performance shares granted based on achieving certain performance metrics. The number of performance shares earned is determined by reference to the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group of other publicly traded banks and bank holding companies during the performance period. The performance period is generally three years starting on the grant date. The fair value of the performance shares is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the grant date.

NOTE 8 9– RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In MarchJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which is intended to simplify several aspects of the 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. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption was permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the provisions of this ASU during the second quarter of 2016, and retrospectively apply the changes in accounting for stock compensation back to the first quarter of 2016. Accordingly, the Company recognized a reduction in its provision for income taxes during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $1.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $3.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, such tax benefits were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. The amendments eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The amendments require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The amendments became effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increase the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that results in the adoption of the equity method. Adoption of this standard has not affected the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 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. ASU 2017-03 provides amendments that add paragraph 250-10-S99-6 which includes the text of "SEC Staff Announcement: Disclosure of the Impact That Recently Issued Accounting Standards Will Have on the Financial Statements of a Registrant When Such Standards Are Adopted in a Future Period” (in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 11.M). Registrants are required to disclose the effect that recently issued accounting standards will have on their financial statements when adopted in a future period. In cases where a registrant cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption, then additional qualitative disclosures should be considered to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the standard's impact on its financial statements. The Company has enhanced its disclosures regarding the impact recently issued accounting standards adopted in a future period will have on its accounting and disclosures.
NOTE 9 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606). These amendments affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance, and creates a Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606), by one year. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company’s revenue has been more significantly weighted towards net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of the new standard, and noninterest income has not been as significant. The Company is continuing to assess its revenue streams and reviewing its contracts with customers that are potentially affected by the new guidance including fees on deposits, gains and losses on the sale of other real estate owned, credit and debit card interchange fees, and credit card revenue, to determine the potential impact the new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, the Company’s revenue recognition pattern for these revenue streams is not expected to change materially from current practice. In addition, the Company continues to follow implementation issues specific to financial institutions which are still under discussion by the FASB’s Transition Resource Group. The Company is currently planning to adopt the ASU on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-1: (a) require equity investments (except for those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplify the impairment assessment of equity securities without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method 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; (d) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (e) require 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; (f) require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the notes to the financial statements; and (g) clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the provisions of this ASU to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. The Company leases many of its banking offices under lease agreements it classifies as operating leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. Management currently anticipates recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability associated with its long-term operating leases. Additionally, the inclusion of these right-of-use lease assets in our balance sheet will impact our total risk-weighted assets.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is essentially the final rule on use of the so-called CECL model, or current expected credit losses. Among other things, the amendments in this ASU requireASC 326 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. For SEC filers,The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), enacted on March 27, 2020, gave financial institutions the amendmentsoption to delay adoption of CECL. The Company elected to delay its adoption of the update until December 31, 2020, with an effective retrospective adoption date of January 1, 2020. Amounts reported for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326, except quarterly periods in 2020, which were not restated under CECL and all prior period information is presented in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Based on prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of January 1, 2020, the Company recognized a cumulative net increase to retained earnings of $1.1 million, net of tax, attributable to a decrease in the allowance for credit losses of $2.0 million, an increase in the allowance for off balance sheet credit exposures of $0.5 million, and a decrease in deferred tax assets of $0.4 million. This was the result of implementing a more quantitative methodology. The commercial, financial, and agricultural loan category decreased $8.2 million due to the portfolio primarily consisting of loans with generally short contractual maturities. This was partially offset by an increase of $6.2 million in the real estate – construction loan category due to the application of peer loss rates within the discounted cash flow pool reserve methodology. Peer historical loss rates were utilized to better align with loss expectations given the Company’s low historical loss experience in this category.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU are2020-04,Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The update provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. Therefore, it will be effective for a limited time, starting March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has identified a replacement reference rate established by the American Financial Exchange. This rate is based on an active market of daily fund trading among participant banks. The Company will apply the guidance provided by this ASU in transitioning to the new reference rate.
In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU No.2021-06Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Financial Services—Depository and Lending (Topic 942), and Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No.33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses, and No.33-10835, Update of Statistical Disclosures for Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants. This ASU amends and adds various SEC paragraphs to the codification pursuant to the issuance of SEC Final Rule Releases No.33-10786 and No.33-10835 issued to improve disclosure rules. The ASU is effective upon issuance. The adoption of this disclosure guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements
NOTE 10 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06,Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The update is intended to simplify accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The update removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The update also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The update is effective for the Company for its fiscal years, andyear beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with later effective dates for non-SEC registrant public companies and other organizations.years. Early adoption will be permittedpermitted. The Company does not currently have any affected convertible debt instruments outstanding so it does not believe that the update will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, “Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments”which amends guidance so that lessors are no longer required to record a selling loss at lease commencement for all organizationsa lease with any variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate. A lessor would classify such leases as an operating lease rather than a sales-type or direct financing lease. The update is effective for the Company for its fiscal years, andyear beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.years. The Company is currently evaluating thedoes not expect adoption of ASU 2021-05 to have an impact of the amendments in this ASU on its consolidated financial statements, and is collecting data that will be needed to produce historical inputs into any models created as a result of adopting this ASU.statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The amendments in this ASU will not impact the Company’s financial statements as it has always amortized premiums to the first call date.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments in the ASU on the its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 1011 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Measurement of fair value under U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value, as of the measurement date, into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Debt SecuritiesSecurities.. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities such as U.S. Treasuries and exchange-traded equity securities. For securities traded in secondary markets for which quoted market prices are not available, the Company generally relies on pricing services provided by independent vendors. Such independent pricing services are to advise the Company on the carrying value of the securities available for sale portfolio. As part of the Company’s procedures, the price provided from the service is evaluated for reasonableness given market changes. When a questionable price exists, the Company investigates further to determine if the price is valid. If needed, other market participants may be utilized to determine the correct fair value. The Company has also reviewed and confirmed its determinations in discussions with the pricing source regarding their methods of price discovery. Securities measured with these techniques are classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy and often involve using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow calculations using inputs observable in the market where available. Examples include U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In cases whereThe Company periodically buys corporate debt securities in private placement transactions. Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available for these securities. The Company uses average observable prices of similar corporate securities owned by the Company to value such securities and are classified in Level 3 of the hierarchy. The weighted average value observed for the Company’s other similar corporate securities was 4% as of September 30, 2021.
Derivative instruments. The fair values of derivatives are determined based on a valuation pricing model using readily available observable market parameters such as interest rate curves, adjusted for counterparty credit risk. These measurements are classified as level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Impaired Loans Individually Evaluated. . Impaired loansLoans individually evaluated are measured and reported at fair value when full payment under the loan terms is not probable. Impaired loansLoans individually evaluated are carried at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate in a discounted cash flow calculation, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Expected cash flows are based on internal inputs reflecting expected default rates on contractual cash flows. This method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value described in ASC 820-10820-10 and would generally result in a higher value than the exit-price approach. For loans measured using the estimated fair value of collateral less costs to sell, fair value is generally determined based on appraisals performed by certified and licensed appraisers using inputs such as absorption rates, capitalization rates and market comparables, adjusted for estimated costs to sell. Management modifies the appraised values, if needed, to take into account recent developments in the market or other factors, such as changes in absorption rates or market conditions from the time of valuation, and anticipated sales values considering management’s plans for disposition. Such modifications to the appraised values could result in lower valuations of such collateral. Estimated costs to sell are based on current amounts of disposal costs for similar assets. These measurements are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Impaired loansLoans individually evaluated are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustment upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment.individual evaluation. A portion of the allowance for loancredit losses is allocated to impaired loans individually evaluated if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. Impaired loansThe range of fair value adjustments and weighted average adjustment as of September 30, 2021 was 0% to 60% and 23.8%, respectively. The range of fair value adjustments and weighted average adjustment as of December 31, 2020 was 0% to 56% and 22.3% respectively. Loans individually evaluated are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly based on the same factors identified above. The amount recognized as an impairment charge related to impairedwrite-down individually evaluated loans that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis was $2,660,000$113,000 and $7,967,000$3.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 2021, respectively, and $3,544,000$11.2 million and $6,090,000$20.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, 2020, respectively.
Other Real Estate Owned. Other real estate assets (“OREO”) acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less selling costs. Any write-downs to fair value at the time of transfer to OREO are charged to the allowance for loancredit losses subsequent to foreclosure. Values are derived from appraisals of underlying collateral and discounted cash flow analysis. Appraisals are performed by certified and licensed appraisers. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically and assets are marked to current fair value, not to exceed the new cost basis. In the determination of fair value subsequent to foreclosure, management also considers other factors or recent developments, such as changes in absorption rates and market conditions from the time of valuation, and anticipated sales values considering management’s plans for disposition, which could result in adjustment to lower the property value estimates indicated in the appraisals. The range of fair value adjustments and weighted average adjustment as of September 30, 2021 was 8% to 25% and 10%, respectively. The range of fair value adjustments and weighted average adjustment as of December 31, 2020 was 5% to 27% and 12.5%, respectively. These measurements are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. A gain on the sale of OREO of $20,000 and $56,000 was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and a loss on the sale and write-downs of $148,000OREO and $584,000repossessed assets of $115,000 and $1.1 million was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, 2021, respectively, and $86,000 and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. These charges were for write-downs in the value of OREO subsequent to foreclosure and gains or losses on the disposal of OREO. OREO is classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged in a sale between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Current U.S. GAAP excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its fair value disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and due from banks: The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition approximate those assets’ fair values.
Debt securities: Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities such as U.S. treasuries and exchange-traded equity securities. For securities traded in secondary markets for which quoted market prices are not available, the Company generally relies on prices obtained from independent vendors. Such independent pricing services are to advise the Company on the carrying value of the securities available for sale portfolio. As part of the Company’s procedures, the price provided from the service is evaluated for reasonableness given market changes. When a questionable price exists, the Company investigates further to determine if the price is valid. If needed, other market participants may be utilized to determine the correct fair value. The Company has also reviewed and confirmed its determinations in discussions with the pricing service regarding their methods of price discovery. Securities measured with these techniques are classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy and often involve using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow calculations using inputs observable in the market where available. Examples include U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity securities: Fair values for other investments are considered to be their cost as they are redeemed at par value.
Federal funds sold: The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition approximate those assets’ fair values.
Mortgage loans held for sale: Loans are committed to be delivered to investors on a “best efforts delivery” basis within 30 days of origination. Due to this short turn-around time, the carrying amounts of the Company’s agreements approximate their fair values.
Bank owned life insurance contracts: The carrying amounts in the statements of condition approximate these assets’ fair value.
Loans, net: For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair value is based on carrying amounts. The fair value of other loans (for example, fixed-rate commercial real estate loans, mortgage loans and industrial loans) is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics. The method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value as prescribed by ASC 820 and generally produces a higher value than an exit-price approach. The measurement of the fair value of loans is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation using interest rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The fair value of the Company’s time deposits do not take into consideration the value of the Company’s long-term relationships with depositors, which may have significant value. Measurements of the fair value of certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Federal funds purchased: The carrying amounts in the statements of condition approximate these assets’ fair value.
Other borrowings: The fair values of other borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered on the best alternative debt available at the measurement date. These measurements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Loan commitments: The fair values of the Company’s off-balance-sheet financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. Since the majority of the Company’s other off-balance-sheet financial instruments consists of non-fee-producing, variable-rate commitments, the Company has determined they do not have a distinguishable fair value.
The carrying amount, estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are presented in the following table. This table includes those financial assets and liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis or nonrecurring basis.as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loancredit losses valuation of foreclosed real estate, deferredand income taxes and fair value of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Financial Condition
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 30, 2017,2021, we had $182.8$44.7 million in federal funds sold, compared to $160.4$1.8 million at December 31, 2016.2020.

Debt Securities
Debt securities available for sale totaled $435.3$723.3 million at September 30, 20172021 and $422.4$886.7 million at December 31, 2016. Debt2020. Investment securities held to maturity totaled $87.4$261.2 million at September 30, 20172021 and $62.6 million$250,000 at December 31, 2016.2020. During the third quarter of 2021, we transferred, at fair value, $261.3 million of mortgage-backed securities from the available for sale portfolio to the held to maturity portfolio. The unrealized after-tax gain of $5.6 million associated with these securities remained in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized over their remaining life, offsetting the related amortization of discount on the transferred securities. We had pay downspaydowns of $37.6$143.9 million on mortgage-backed securities and government agencies, maturities of $21.1$44.0 million on municipal agencybonds, corporate securities and corporatetreasury securities, and calls of $11.9$35.1 million on U.S. government agencies and municipal securities and subordinated notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2021. We recognized a $620,000 gain on the call of a corporate bond during the second quarter of 2021. We purchased $72.0$218.7 million in mortgage-backed securities $13.8and $80.0 million in municipalcorporate securities $2.9 million in U.S. Treasury securities and $16.0 million in subordinated notes during the first nine months of 2017.

All other securities purchased are classified as available for sale.maturity at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, see “Note 4 – Securities” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The objective of our investment policy is to invest funds not otherwise needed to meet our loan demand to earn the maximum return, yet still maintain sufficient liquidity to meet fluctuations in our loan demand and deposit structure. In doing so, we balance the market and credit risks against the potential investment return, make investments compatible with the pledge requirements of any deposits of public funds, maintain compliance with regulatory investment requirements, and assist certain public entities with their financial needs. The investment committee has full authority over the investment portfolio and makes decisions on purchases and sales of securities. The entire portfolio, along with all investment transactions occurring since the previous board of directors meeting, is reviewed by the board at each monthly meeting. The investment policy allows portfolio holdings to include short-term securities purchased to provide us with needed liquidity and longer termlonger-term securities purchased to generate level income for us over periods of interest rate fluctuations.
Each quarter, management assesses whether there have been events or economic circumstances indicating that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is other-than-temporarily impaired. Management considers several factors, including the amount and duration of the impairment; the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period sufficient for a recovery in value; and known recent events specific to the issuer or its industry. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by agencies of the federal government, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports, among other things. As we currently do not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, and impairment positions at September 30, 2017 are interest-rate driven, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary. We will continue to evaluate our investment securities for possible other-than-temporary impairment, which could result in non-cash charges to earnings in one or more future periods.
All securities held are traded in liquid markets. As of September 30, 2017, we owned restricted securities of First National Bankers Bank with an aggregate book value and market value of $0.4 million, securities of a fund that invests in Community Reinvestment Act-qualifying real estate with a book value and market value of $0.5 million, and securities of a bank holding company in Georgia with a book value and market value of $0.1 million. Upon termination of our membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta during the fourth quarter of 2016, we redeemed all but approximately $30,000 of our FHLB stock. This remaining restricted stock in the FHLB is a required holding as long as our principal reducing advances are outstanding. We had no investments in any one security, restricted or liquid, in excess of 10% of our stockholders’ equity.
The BankCompany does not invest in collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”). We have $50.5At September 30, 2021, we had $379.4 million of bank holding company subordinated notes. AllIf rated, all of these notes were rated BBB or better by Kroll Bond Rating Agency at the time of our investment in them.investment. All other corporate bonds had a Standard and Poor’s or Moody’s rating of A-1 or better when purchased. The total investment portfolio at September 30, 20172021 has a combined average credit rating of AA.
The carrying value of investment securities pledged to secure public funds on deposit and for other purposes as required by law was $240.5$536.0 million and $223.7$477.6 million as of September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, respectively.
Loans
We had total loans of $5.63$8.81 billion at September 30, 2017,2021, an increase of $717.0$347.1 million, or 14.6%4.1%, compared to $4.91$8.47 billion at December 31, 2016. At2020. Excluding the impact of PPP loan origination and forgiveness, we grew our loans by $859.9 million, or 11.4% from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2017,2021. We originated approximately 7,400 PPP loans totaling $1.5 billion during the percentageCovid-19 pandemic. Over 6,300 of ourthese loans in eachhad a balance of our regions were as follows:
Premises and Equipment, Netless than $350,000.
PremisesAs of September 30, 2021, there are 18 loans outstanding totaling $2.7 million that have payment deferrals in connection with the COVID-19 relief provided by the CARES Act. All of these payment deferrals were principal and equipment increased $14.8 millioninterest deferrals. The amount of accrued interest related to $55.1payment deferrals provided by the CARES Act on all loans originated to date totaled $4.1 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $40.3 million at December 31, 2016. This increase is primarily the result of our construction of a new headquarters building2021. These deferrals were not considered troubled debt restructurings based on interagency guidance issued in Birmingham, Alabama. Construction began in the first quarter of 2016 and it was placed in service in September 2017. Total cost of the building and contents is approximately $31.0 million.March 2020.
Asset Quality
The Company assesses the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses is established and maintained at levels management deems adequate to absorb anticipated credit losses from identifiedat the end of each calendar quarter. The level of allowance is based on the Company’s evaluation of historical default and otherwiseloss experience, current and projected economic conditions, asset quality trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers’ ability to repay a loan, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio asand other relevant factors. The allowance is increased by a provision for credit losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. The allowance for credit losses is believed adequate to absorb all expected future losses to be recognized over the contractual life of the balance sheet date. In assessingloans in the adequacyportfolio.
Loans with similar risk characteristics are evaluated in pools and, depending on the nature of each identified pool, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow (“DCF”), probability of default / loss given default (“PD/LGD”) or remaining life method. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, the Company utilizes and forecasts the national unemployment rate as a loss driver. The Company also utilizes and forecasts GDP growth as a second loss driver for its agricultural and consumer loan pools. Consistent forecasts of the loss drivers are used across the loan segments. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company utilized a reasonable and supportable forecast period of twelve months followed by a six-month straight-line reversion to long term averages. The Company leveraged economic projections from reputable and independent sources to inform its loss driver forecasts. The Company expects national unemployment to remain above pre-pandemic levels over the forecast period with an improved national GDP growth rate as the economy comes back on-line over the next year.
The historical loss experience estimate by pool is then adjusted by forecast factors that are quantitatively related to the Company’s historical credit loss experience, such as national unemployment rates and gross domestic product. Losses are predicted over a period of time determined to be reasonable and supportable, and at the end of the reasonable and supportable period losses are reverted to long term historical averages. The reasonable and supportable period and reversion period are re-evaluated each quarter by the Company and are dependent on the current economic environment among other factors. See “Note 5 – Loans” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The expected credit losses for each loan pool are then adjusted for changes in qualitative factors not inherently considered in the quantitative analyses. The qualitative adjustments either increase or decrease the quantitative model estimation. The Company considers factors that are relevant within the qualitative framework which include the following: lending policy, changes in nature and volume of loans, staff experience, changes in volume and trends of problem loans, concentration risk, trends in underlying collateral values, external factors, quality of loan review system and other economic conditions.
Expected credit losses for loans that no longer share similar risk characteristics with the collectively evaluated pools are excluded from the collective evaluation and estimated on an individual basis. Individual evaluations are performed for nonaccrual loans, loans rated substandard, and modified loans classified as troubled debt restructurings. Specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses are estimated on one of several methods, including the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, observable market value of similar debt or the present value of expected cash flows.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the allowance for loan losses management considers its evaluationrepresented management’s best estimate of inherent losses that had been incurred within the loanexisting portfolio past due loan experience, collateral values, current economic conditionsof loans. The allowance for losses on loans included allowance allocations calculated in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, “Receivables” and other factors considered necessary to maintain the allowance at an adequate level. Our management believes that the allowance was adequate at September 30, 2017.allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.”

The balance of nonperforming assets can fluctuate due to changes in economic conditions. We have established a policy to discontinue accruing interest on a loan (i.e., place the loan on nonaccrual status) after it has become 90 days delinquent as to payment of principal or interest, unless the loan is considered to be well-collateralized and is actively in the process of collection. In addition, a loan will be placed on nonaccrual status before it becomes 90 days delinquent unlessif management believes that the collection of interest is not expected. Interest previously accrued but uncollected on such loans is reversed and charged against current income when the receivable is determined to be uncollectible. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only as received. If we believe that a loan will not be collected in full, we will increase the allowance for loancredit losses to reflect management’s estimate of any potential exposure or loss. Generally, payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied directly to principal.

While interest continues to accrue to income, through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, the related loans would be placed on nonaccrual status and interest income accrued would be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. As of September 30, 2017, we had impaired loans2021, the Company carries $4.1 million of $49.6accrued interest income on deferrals made to COVID-19 affected borrowers compared to $5.8 million inclusive of nonaccrual loans, an increase of $4.0 million from $45.6 million as ofat December 31, 2016. This increase2020. At this time, the Company is attributable to $15.0 million of loans newly classified as specifically impaired, partially offset by charge-offs totaling $5.6 million, net pay downs of $4.1 million, loan classification upgrades of $0.7 million and OREO transfers and repossessions of $0.6 million. We allocated $8.5 million of our allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017 to these impaired loans, an increase of $0.3 million compared to $8.2 million as of December 31, 2016.

Impairment does not always indicate credit loss, but provides an indication of collateral exposure based on prevailing market conditions and third-party valuations. Impaired loans are measured by either the present value of expectedeconomic impact may affect its borrowers’ ability to repay in future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. The amount of impairment, if any, and subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses. Interest on accruing impaired loans is recognized as long as such loans do not meet the criteria for nonaccrual status. Our credit administration group performs verification and testing to ensure appropriate identification of impaired loans and that proper reserves are held on these loans.
Of the $49.6 million of impaired loans reported as of September 30, 2017, $30.4 million were commercial, financial and agricultural loans, $3.3 million were real estate construction loans, $15.8 million were real estate mortgage loans and $0.1 million were consumer loans.periods.

The average rate paid on these borrowings was 1.34%0.21% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, which has increased during the past three quarters due to increases in the FRB’s targeted federal funds rate.2021.

Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, deposit withdrawals, and other cash demands and disbursement needs, and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis.
The retention of existing deposits and attraction of new deposit sources through new and existing customers is critical to our liquidity position. If our liquidity were to decline due to a run-off in deposits, we have procedures that provide for certain actions under varying liquidity conditions. These actions include borrowing from existing correspondent banks, selling or participating loans, and curtailing loan commitments and funding. At September 30, 2017,2021, liquid assets, which are represented by cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and unpledged available-for-sale securities, totaled $628.1 million. Additionally,$5.03 billion. At September 30, 2021, the Bank had borrowing availability of approximately $485.0$986.0 million in unused federal funds lines of credit with regional banks, subject to certain restrictions and collateral requirements. We believe these sources of funding are adequate to meet immediateour anticipated funding needs.
Our management meets on a quarterly basis to review sources and uses of funding to determine the appropriate strategy to ensure an appropriate level of liquidity. At the current time, our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to funds required to support loan originations and commitments and deposit withdrawals. Our regular sources of funding are from the growth of our deposit base, correspondent banking relationships and related federal funds purchased, repayment of principal and interest on loans, the sale of loans and the renewal of time deposits. In addition, we have issued debt as described above under “Other Borrowings”.
We are subject to general FDIC guidelines that require a minimum level of liquidity. Management believes our liquidity ratios meet or exceed these guidelines. Our management is not currently aware of any trends or demands that are reasonably likely to result in liquidity materially increasing or decreasing. However, uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our ability to obtain funding or may increase the cost of funding.

Capital Adequacy
Total stockholders’ equity attributable to us at September 30, 2021 was $1.11 billion, or 7.63% of total assets. At December 31, 2020, total stockholders’ equity attributable to us was $992.4 million, or 8.32% of total assets. The decline in the ratio of capital to assets is the result of increased deposits during 2021. We believe a large portion of these increased deposits to be temporary in nature, although we cannot project when they might be withdrawn.
As of September 30, 2017,2021, our most recent notification from the FDIC categorized us as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well-capitalized, we must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as disclosed inratios.
The final rules implementing the table below. Our management believes that we are well-capitalizedBasel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain aspects of the new rules. In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executives, under the prompt corrective action provisions asnew rules a covered banking organization is also required to maintain a “capital conservation buffer” in addition to its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This buffer is required to consist solely of September 30, 2017.common equity Tier 1, and the buffer applies to all three risk-based measurements (CET1, Tier 1 capital and total capital). The capital conservation buffer became fully effective on January 1, 2019. As of January 1, 2019, an additional amount of Tier 1 common equity equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets is required for compliance with the capital conservation buffer. The ratios for the Company and the Bank are currently sufficient to satisfy the fully phased-in conservation buffer.
The following table sets forth (i) the capital ratios required by the FDIC and the Alabama Banking Department’s leverage ratio requirement and (ii) our actual ratios, not including the capital conservation buffer, of capital to total regulatory or risk-weighted assets, as of September 30, 2017,2021, December 31, 20162020 and September 30, 2016:2020:

We are a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Our principal source of cash flow, including cash flow to pay dividends to our stockholders, is dividends the Bank pays to us as the Bank’s sole shareholder. Statutory and regulatory limitations apply to the Bank’s payment of dividends to us as well as to our payment of dividends to our stockholders. The requirement that a bank holding company must serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks also results in the position of the Federal Reserve that a bank holding company should not maintain a level of cash dividends to its stockholders that places undue pressure on the capital of its bank subsidiaries or that can be funded only through additional borrowings or other arrangements that may undermine the Bank holding company’s ability to serve as such a source of strength. Our ability to pay dividends is also subject to the provisions of Delaware corporate law.
The Alabama Banking Department also regulates the Bank’s dividend payments. Under Alabama law, a state-chartered bank may not pay a dividend in excess of 90% of its net earnings until the Bank’s surplus is equal to at least 20% of its capital (our Bank’s surplus currently exceeds 20% of its capital). Moreover, our Bank is also required by Alabama law to obtain the prior approval of the Superintendent of Banks (“Superintendent”) for its payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year will exceed the total of (i) the Bank’s net earnings (as defined by statute) for that year, plus (ii) its retained net earnings for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. In addition, no dividends, withdrawals or transfers may be made from the Bank’s surplus without the prior written approval of the Superintendent.
The Bank’s payment of dividends may also be affected or limited by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, a depository institution may not pay any dividends if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or if it already is undercapitalized. Moreover, the federal agencies have issued policy statements that provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. If, in the opinion of the federal banking regulators, the Bank were engaged in or about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice, the federal banking regulators could require, after notice and a hearing, that the Bank stop or refrain from engaging in the questioned practice.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit beyond current fundings, credit card arrangements, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in our balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in those particular financial instruments.arrangements. All such credit arrangements bear interest at variable rates and we have no such credit arrangements which bear interest at fixed rates.
Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to such financial instrumentsinstrument for commitments to extend credit, credit card arrangements and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of thosethese instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. As of September 30, 2017, we have reserved $500,000 for losses on such off-balance sheet arrangements consistent with guidance in the FRB’s Interagency Policy Statement SR 06-17.
As part of our mortgage operations, we originate and sell certain loans to investors in the secondary market. We continue to experience a manageable level of investor repurchase demands. For loans sold, we have an obligation to either repurchase the outstanding principal balance of a loan or make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of a loan if it is determined that the loans sold were in violation of representations and warranties made by the Bank at the time of the sale. Representations and warranties typically include those made regarding loans that had missing or insufficient file documentation or loans obtained through fraud by borrowers or other third parties such as appraisers. We had a reserve of $368,000 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for the settlement of any repurchase demands by investors.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

Commitments to extend credit beyond current funded amounts are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the applicable loan agreement. Such commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit is based on our management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. All letters of credit are due within one year or less of the original commitment date. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Federal funds lines of credit are uncommitted lines issued to downstream correspondent banks for the purpose of providing liquidity to them. The lines are unsecured, and we have no obligation to sell federal funds to the correspondent, nor does the correspondent have any obligation to request or accept purchases of federal funds from us.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Analysis
Net interest income is the difference between the income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities used to support such assets. The major factors which affect net interest income are changes in volumes, the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Our management’s ability to respond to changes in interest rates by effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to maintaining the stability of the net interest margin and the momentum of our primary source of earnings.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $8.5$11.2 million, or 17.6%13.2%, to $56.9$96.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172021 compared to $48.4$85.2 million for the corresponding period in 2016,2020, and increased $28.0$37.4 million, or 20.1%15.2%, to $167.5$283.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 compared to $139.5$246.2 million for the corresponding period in 2016.2020. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in average earning assets, which increased $435.8 million,$2.66 billion, or 7.6%24.7%, from the third quarter of 20162020 to the third quarter of 2017,2021, and $699.2 million,$2.65 billion, or 13.0%26.9%, from the nine months ended September 30, 20162020 to the same period in 2017.2021. The taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets increaseddecreased to 4.37%3.08% for the three months ended September 30, 20172021 from 3.81%3.55% for the corresponding period in 2016,2020, and increaseddecreased to 4.23%3.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 from 3.93%3.90% for the corresponding period in 2016.2020. The yield on loans for the three months ended September 30, 20172021 was 4.66%4.39% compared to 4.47%4.26% for the corresponding period in 2016,2020, and 4.58%4.43% compared to 4.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and September 30, 2016,2020, respectively. The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities increaseddecreased to 0.81%0.35% for the three months ended September 30, 20172021 compared to 0.64%0.59% for the corresponding period in 2016,2020, and increaseddecreased to 0.74%0.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 from 0.63%0.81% for the corresponding period in 2016.2020. Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 20172021 was 3.77%2.85% compared to 3.35%3.14% for the corresponding period in 2016,2020, and 3.69%3.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 compared to 3.47%3.33% for the corresponding period in 2016.2020. The Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank has recently signaled that it would discontinue buying assets in the open market and possibly start raising interest rates in an effort to control inflation. Higher interest rates could benefit our loan interest income in the future.
The following tables show, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and September 30, 2016,2020, the average balances of each principal category of our assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity, and an analysis of net interest revenue. The accompanying tables reflect changes in our net interest margin as a result of changes in the volume and rate of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the same periods. Changes as a result of mix or the number of days in the periods have been allocated to the volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. The tables are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis where applicable:

Provision for LoanCredit Losses
The provision for loan losses represents the amount determined by management to be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level capable of absorbing inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Our management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The allowance for loan losses calculation is segregated into various segments that include classified loans, loans with specific allocations and pass rated loans. A pass rated loan is generally characterized by a very low to average risk of default and in which management perceives there is a minimal risk of loss. Loans are rated using a nine-point risk grade scale with loan officers having the primary responsibility for assigning risk grades and for the timely reporting of changes in the risk grades. Based on these processes, and the assigned risk grades, the criticized and classified loans in the portfolio are segregated into the following regulatory classifications: Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful or Loss, with some general allocation of reserve based on these grades. At September 30, 2017, total loans rated Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful were $131.1 million, or 2.3% of total loans, compared to $128.8 million, or 2.6% of total loans, at December 31, 2016. Impaired loans are reviewed specifically and separately to determine the appropriate reserve allocation. Our management compares the investment in an impaired loan with the present value of expected future cash flow discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent, to determine the specific reserve allowance. Reserve percentages assigned to non-impaired loans are based on historical charge-off experience adjusted for other risk factors. To evaluate the overall adequacy of the allowance to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio, our management considers historical loss experience based on volume and types of loans, trends in classifications, volume and trends in delinquencies and nonaccruals, economic conditions and other pertinent information. Based on future evaluations, additional provisions for loan losses may be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.
The provision for loancredit losses was $4.8$6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase2021, a decrease of $1.3$6.3 million from $3.5$12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016,2020, and was $14.2$23.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, a $4.9$13.1 million increasedecrease compared to $9.3$36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Nonperforming loans decreased to $14.92020. The ACL for September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was calculated under the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology and totaled $109.0 million and $87.9 million, or 0.26%1.24% and 1.04% of total loans, at September 30, 2017 from $16.9 million, or 0.34%net of total loans, at December 31, 2016, but were higher than $6.7 million, or 0.14% of total loans, at September 30, 2016. Impaired loans increased to $49.6 million, or 0.88% of total loans, at September 30, 2017, compared to $45.6 million, or 0.93% of total loans, at December 31, 2016.unearned income, respectively. The allowance for loan losses totaled $58.5$92.4 million, or 1.04%1.09% of total loans, net of unearned income, at September 30, 2017,2020 and was calculated under the incurred loss methodology. Excluding PPP loans, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans under the CECL methodology at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 was 1.29% and 1.30%, respectively, compared to $51.91.24% at September 30, 2020, under the incurred loss model. The increase in the ACL as a percent of total loans at September 30, 2021 from December 31, 2020 is largely the result of a net decrease in PPP loans totaling $513 million, which were excluded from the ACL, and $860 million in net loan growth, excluding PPP loans, during 2021. This loan growth was primarily within our real estate – mortgage and real estate – construction loan categories which have increased $421 million and $294 million, respectively. We added a new qualitative environmental factor to address the termination of the PPP for the effect it could have on various businesses that will need to be self-sustaining without the assistance of PPP as well as potential risk of nonpayment from SBA due to fraud within PPP loans. This new qualitative factor totaled $3.5 million at June 30, 2021 and totaled $2.8 million at September 30, 2021. Additionally, we allocated ACL totaling $1.7 million to address the risk associated with a newly downgraded commercial relationship at September 30, 2021. Annualized net credit charge-offs to quarter-to-date average loans were 0.08% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 0.54% for the corresponding period in 2020. Annualized net credit charge-offs to year-to-date average loans were 0.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 0.34% for the corresponding period in 2020. Nonperforming loans decreased to $14.5 million, or 1.06%0.16% of total loans, netat September 30, 2021 from $19.0 million, or 0.22% of unearned income,total loans, at December 31, 2016.2020, and were $26.6 million, or 0.31% of total loans, at September 30, 2020. See the section captioned “Asset Quality” located elsewhere in this item for additional discussion related to provision for credit losses.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $11.6$11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172021, compared to $8.2$11.0 million for the same period in 2016,2020, and was $29.4$37.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021, compared to $22.0$29.8 million for the same period in 2016.2020. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 was 31.5%17.98% and 29.0%19.71%, respectively, compared to 28.1%20.29% and 27.0%20.08% for the corresponding periods in 2016,2020, respectively. We recognized a reduction$3.2 million in provision for income taxes resulting fromcredits during the third quarter of 2021 related to the investment in federal new market tax credits in July 2021. We recognized excess tax benefits as an income tax credit to our income tax expense from the exercise and vesting of stock options and restricted stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 of $0.8 million$78,000 and $4.3$2.4 million, respectively, compared to $1.2 million$180,000 and $4.7$1.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2020, respectively. Lower excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options and lower Alabama state sales taxes, which we can deduct from our Alabama corporate income taxes, during the third quarter of 2017 contributed to the higher effective tax rate when compared to the same quarter in 2016. Our primary permanent differences are related to tax exempt income on securities, state income tax benefit on real estate investment trust dividends, various qualifying tax credits and change in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.
We own real estate investment trusts for the purpose of holding and managing participations in residential mortgages and commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank. The trusts are wholly-ownedwhollyowned subsidiaries of a trust holding company, which in turn is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The trusts earn interest income on the loans they hold and incur operating expenses related to their activities. They pay their net earnings, in the form of dividends, to the Bank, which receives a deduction for state income taxes.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Like all financial institutions, we are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is inherent in the balance sheet due to the mismatch between the maturities of rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. If rates are rising, and the level of rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the level of rate-sensitive assets, the net interest margin will be negatively impacted. Conversely, if rates are falling, and the level of rate-sensitive liabilities is greater than the level of rate-sensitive assets, the impact on the net interest margin will be favorable. Managing interest rate risk is further complicated by the fact that all rates do not change at the same pace; in other words, short-term rates may be rising while longer-term rates remain stable. In addition, different types of rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities react differently to changes in rates.
To manage interest rate risk, we must take a position on the expected future trend of interest rates. Rates may rise, fall or remain the same. Our asset-liability committee develops its view of future rate trends and strives to manage rate risk within a targeted range by monitoring economic indicators, examining the views of economists and other experts, and understanding the current status of our balance sheet. Our annual budget reflects the anticipated rate environment for the next 12 months. The asset-liability committee conducts a quarterly analysis of the rate sensitivity position and reports its results to our board of directors.
The asset-liability committee thoroughly analyzes the maturities of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. This analysis measures the “gap”, which is defined as the difference between the dollar amount of rate-sensitive assets repricing during a period and the volume of rate-sensitive liabilities repricing during the same period. The gap is also expressed as the ratio of rate-sensitive assets divided by rate-sensitive liabilities. If the ratio is greater than one, the dollar value of assets exceeds the dollar value of liabilities; the balance sheet is “asset-sensitive.” Conversely, if the value of liabilities exceeds the value of assets, the ratio is less than one and the balance sheet is “liability-sensitive.” Our internal policy requires management to maintain the gap such that net interest margins will not change more than 10% if interest rates change 100 basis points or more than 15% if interest rates change 200 basis points. There have been no changes to our policies or procedures for analyzing our interest rate risk since December 31, 2016,2020, and there arehave been no significantmaterial changes to our sensitivity to changes in interest rates since December 31, 20162020, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
CEO and CFO Certification.
Appearing as exhibits to this report are Certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). The Certifications are required to be made by Rule 13a-14 or Rule 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).1934. This item contains the information about the evaluation that is referred to in the Certifications, and the information set forth below in this Item 4 should be read in conjunction with the Certifications for a more complete understanding of the Certifications.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
We conducted an evaluation (the "Evaluation") of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, as of September 30, 2017.2021. Based upon the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of September 30, 2017,2021, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to ServisFirst Bancshares, Inc.the Company. and its subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
From time to time we may be a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe the Company, or the Bank, is currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
Our business is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and are often beyond our control. We have identified a number of these risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2020, which should be taken into consideration when reviewing the information contained in this report. There have been no material changes with regard toin the Company’s risk factors previouslyfrom those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. For other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement or projection contained in this report, see “Forward-Looking Statements” under Part 1, Item 2 above.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Our operations and financial performance could be adversely affected by natural disasters, and climate change can increase those risks while adding regulatory, compliance, reputational and other risks.
Natural disasters could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes and similar unpredictable weather events, could affect us directly (by interrupting our systems, damaging our offices or otherwise preventing us from operating our business in the ordinary course) or indirectly (by damaging or destroying the businesses or properties of our customers or otherwise impairing our customers’ ability to make loan payments on a timely basis or destroying property pledged as collateral for loans).
Climate change may result in new or increased regulatory burdens, which could materially affect our results of operations by requiring us to implement costly measures to comply with any new laws and regulations related to climate change. Changes to regulations or market shifts in response to climate change may also impact the businesses of some of our customers, which may require us to adjust our lending portfolios and business strategies with respect to such customers.
In addition, the investing public is increasingly focused on the financial services industry’s ability to manage environmental impact. We recently have adopted an Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Policy in an effort to refine and track our compliance efforts; however, failure to appropriately manage our environmental impact could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and harm our ability to attract and retain customers and employees.
