CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of our statements contained in this document, including matters discussed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and include statements about the competitiveness of the banking industry, potential regulatory obligations, our entrance and expansion into other markets, including through potential acquisitions, our other business strategies and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance or results. When we use words like “may,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “continue,” “expect,” “project,” “predict,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions, you should consider them as identifying forward-looking statements, although we may use other phrasing. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on our beliefs and assumptions, and on the information available to us at the time that these disclosures were prepared. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

the effects of future local, regional, national and international economic conditions, including inflation or a decrease in commercial real estate and residential housing values;

 

governmental monetarychanges in the level of nonperforming assets and fiscal policies, as well as legislativecharge-offs, and regulatory changes;

the impact of the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory reform act and regulations issued thereunder;credit risk generally;

 

the risks of changes in interest rates or the level and composition of deposits, loan demand and the values of loan collateral, securities and interest sensitiveinterest-sensitive assets and liabilities;

the effect of any mergers, acquisitions or other transactions to which we or our bank subsidiary may from time to time be a party, including our ability to successfully integrate any businesses that we acquire;

the risk that expected cost savings and other benefits from acquisitions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;

the possibility that an acquisition does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all;

the reaction to a proposed acquisition transaction of the respective companies’ customers, employees and counterparties;

diversion of management time on acquisition-related issues;

the ability to enter into and/or close additional acquisitions;

the availability of and access to capital on terms acceptable to us;

increased regulatory requirements and supervision that will apply as a result of our exceeding $10 billion in total assets;

legislation and regulation affecting the financial services industry as a whole, and the Company and its subsidiaries in particular, including the effects resulting from the reforms enacted by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and the adoption of regulations by regulatory bodies under the Dodd-Frank Act;

governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes, including as a result of initiatives of the newly elected administration of President Donald J. Trump;

 

the effects of terrorism and efforts to combat it;

 

credit risks;political instability;

 

the ability to keep pace with technological changes, including changes regarding cybersecurity;

an increase in the incidence or severity of fraud, illegal payments, security breaches or other illegal acts impacting our bank subsidiary or our customers;


the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in our market area and elsewhere, including institutions operating regionally, nationally and internationally, together with competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone and the Internet;

 

the effect of any mergers, acquisitions orchanges in accounting policies and practices and auditing requirements, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other transactions to whichaccounting standard setters;

higher defaults on our loan portfolio than we or our subsidiaries may from time to time be a party, including our ability to successfully integrate any businesses that we acquire;expect; and

 

the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of our allowance for loan losses or changes in our estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this Cautionary Note. Our actual results may differ significantly from those we discuss in these forward-looking statements. For other factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from estimates and projections contained in these forward-looking statements, see the “Risk Factors” sectionsections of our Form10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2016.28, 2017 and this Form10-Q.

1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Home BancShares, Inc. (the “Company” or “HBI”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Conway, Arkansas. The Company is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers through its wholly-owned community bank subsidiary – Centennial Bank (sometimes referred to as “Centennial” or the “Bank”). The Bank has branch locations in Arkansas, Florida, and South Alabama and a loan production office in New York City. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Company also is subject to the regulation of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Company follows:

Operating Segments

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Bank is the only significant subsidiary upon which management makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Each of the branches of the Bank provide a group of similar community banking services, including such products and services as commercial, real estate and consumer loans, time deposits, checking and savings accounts. The individual bank branches have similar operating and economic characteristics. While the chief decision maker monitors the revenue streams of the various products, services and branch locations, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the community banking services and branch locations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment, community banking.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of investment securities, the valuation of foreclosed assets and the valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, covered loans and the related indemnification asset.combinations. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed assets, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HBI and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Various items within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for previous years have been reclassified to provide more comparative information. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or stockholders’ equity.

Interim financial information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 20162017 and 20152016 have been prepared in condensed format, and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for each respective period presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other quarter or for the full year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 20152016 Form10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each year, which have been restated to reflect the effect of the 2-for-1 stock split during June 2016.year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average shares and all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the following periods:

2. Business Combinations

Acquisition of Florida Business BancGroup,Giant Holdings, Inc.

On October 1, 2015,February 23, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Florida Business BancGroup,Giant Holdings, Inc. (“FBBI”GHI”), parent company of Bay CitiesLandmark Bank, N.A. (“Bay Cities”Landmark”)., pursuant to a previously announced definitive agreement and plan of merger whereby GHI merged with and into HBI and, immediately thereafter, Landmark merged with and into Centennial. The Company paid a purchase price to the FBBIGHI shareholders of $104.1approximately $96.0 million for the FBBIGHI acquisition. Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of FBBIGHI received 4,159,7082,738,038 shares (split adjusted) of its common stock valued at approximately $83.8$77.5 million as of October 1, 2015,February 23, 2017, plus approximately $20.3$18.5 million in cash in exchange for all outstanding shares of FBBIGHI common stock. A portion of the cash consideration, $2.0 million, has been placed into escrow, and FBBI shareholders will have a contingent right to receive their pro-rata portions of such amount. The amount, if any, of such escrowed funds to be released to FBBI shareholders will depend upon the amount of losses that HBI incurs in the two years following the completion of the merger related to two class action lawsuits that are pending against Bay Cities.

FBBIGHI formerly operated six branch locations and a loan production office in the Tampa Bay area and in Sarasota, Florida. Including the effects of any purchase accounting adjustments, as of October 1, 2015, FBBI had approximately $564.5 million in total assets, $408.3 million in loans after $14.1 million of loan discounts, and $472.0 million in deposits.

See Note 2 “Business Combinations” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for an additional discussion regarding the acquisition of FBBI.

Acquisition of Pool of National Commercial Real Estate Loans

On April 1, 2015, the Company’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Centennial, entered into an agreement with AM PR LLC, an affiliate of J.C. Flowers & Co. (collectively, the “Seller”), to purchase a pool of national commercial real estate loans totaling approximately $289.1 million for a purchase price of 99% of the total principal value of the acquired loans. The purchase of the loans was completed on April 1, 2015. The acquired loans were originated by the former Doral Bank within its Doral Property Finance portfolio (“DPF Portfolio”) and were transferred to the Seller by Banco Popular of Puerto Rico (“Popular”) upon its acquisition of the assets and liabilities of Doral Bank from FDIC, as receiver for the failed Doral Bank. This pool of loans is now housed in a division of Centennial known as the Centennial Commercial Finance Group (“Centennial CFG”). Centennial CFG is responsible for servicing the acquired loan pool and originating new loan production.

In connection with this acquisition of loans, we opened a loan production office on April 23, 2015 in New York City. Through the loan production office, Centennial CFG is building out a national lending platform focusing on commercial real estate plus commercial and industrial loans. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Centennial CFG had $891.3 million and $715.7 million in total loans net of discount, respectively. Centennial CFG currently has plans to build this loan portfolio to approximately $1.1 billion by the end of 2016. During 2016, the Company has plans to open a deposit-only branch location in New York City.

Acquisition of Doral Bank’sFt. Lauderdale, Florida Panhandle operations

On February 27, 2015, the Company’s banking subsidiary, Centennial, acquired all the deposits and substantially all the assets of Doral Bank’s Florida Panhandle operations (“Doral Florida”) through an alliance agreement with Popular who was the successful lead bidder with the FDIC on the failed Doral Bank of San Juan, Puerto Rico.area. Including the effects of the purchase accounting adjustments, theas of acquisition provided the Company withdate, GHI had approximately $398.1 million in total assets, $327.8 million in loans of approximately $37.9after $8.1 million net of loan discounts, and $304.0 million in deposits.

The Company has determined that the acquisition of the net assets of GHI constitutes a business combination as defined by the ASC Topic 805. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented at their fair values as required. Fair values were determined based on the requirements of ASC Topic 820. In many cases, the determination of these fair values required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change.

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above:

Cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with other banks – The carrying amount of these assets is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.

Investment securities – Investment securities were acquired from GHI with an approximately $467.6$5,000 adjustment to market value based upon quoted market prices.

Loans – Fair values for loans were based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and current discount rates. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and include adjustments for liquidity concerns.

The Company evaluated $315.6 million plus a $428.2 million cash settlement to balanceof the transaction. There is no loss-shareloans purchased in conjunction with the FDICacquisition in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic310-20,Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs,which were recorded with a $3.6 million discount. As a result, the fair value discount on these loans is being accreted into interest income over the weighted average life of the loans using a constant yield method. The remaining $20.3 million of loans evaluated were considered purchased credit impaired loans within the provisions of FASB ASC Topic310-30,Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, and were recorded with a $4.5 million discount. These purchase credit impaired loans will recognize interest income through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows. The acquired GHI loan balance includes $1.6 million of discount on purchased loans.

Bank premises and equipment – Bank premises and equipment were acquired from GHI with a $608,000 adjustment to market value. This represents the difference between current appraisals completed in connection with the acquisition and book value acquired.

Cash value of life insurance– Cash value of life insurance was acquired from GHI at market value.

Accrued interest receivable – Accrued interest receivable was acquired from GHI at market value.

Deferred tax asset – The current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the differences in the carrying values of the acquired assets.assets and assumed liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, at the Company’s statutory federal and state income tax rate of 39.225%.

PriorCore deposit intangible – This intangible asset represents the value of the relationships that GHI had with its deposit customers. The fair value of this intangible asset was estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology that gave appropriate consideration to expected customer attrition rates, cost of the deposit base, and the net maintenance cost attributable to customer deposits. The Company recorded $3.4 million of core deposit intangible.

Deposits – The fair values used for the demand and savings deposits that comprise the transaction accounts acquired, by definition equal the amount payable on demand at the acquisition date. The $324,000 fair value adjustment applied for time deposits was because the weighted average interest rate of GHI’s certificates of deposits were estimated to be below the current market rates.

FHLB borrowed funds – The fair value of FHLB borrowed funds is estimated based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities.

Accrued interest payable and other liabilities – The fair value used represents the adjustments of certain estimated liabilities from GHI.

The Company’s operating results for the period ended June 30, 2017, include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the acquisition Doral Florida operated five branch locations in Panama City, Panama City Beachdate. Due to the fair value adjustments recorded and Pensacola, Florida plus a loan production office in Tallahassee, Florida. At the timefact GHI total assets acquired are less than 5% of total assets as of June 30, 2017 excluding GHI as recorded by HBI as of acquisition date, historical results are not believed to be material to the Company’s results, and thus nopro-forma information is presented.

Acquisition of The Bank of Commerce

On February 28, 2017, HBI completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of The Bank of Commerce, a Florida state-chartered bank that operated in the Sarasota, Florida area (“BOC”), pursuant to an acquisition agreement, dated December 1, 2016, by and between HBI and Bank of Commerce Holdings, Inc. (“BCHI”), parent company of BOC. HBI merged BOC with and into Centennial effective as of the close of business on February 28, 2017.

The acquisition of BOC was conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) pursuant to a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code filed by BCHI with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The sale of BOC by BCHI was subject to certain bidding procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court. On November 14, 2016, the Company submitted an initial bid to purchase the outstanding shares of BOC in accordance with the bidding procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court. An auction was subsequently conducted on November 16, 2016, and the Company was deemed to be the successful bidder. The Bankruptcy Court entered a final order on December 9, 2016 approving the sale of BOC to the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the acquisition agreement.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, HBI paid an aggregate of approximately $4.2 million in cash for the acquisition, which included the purchase of all outstanding shares of BOC common stock, the discounted purchase of certain subordinated debentures issued by BOC from the existing holders of the subordinated debentures, and an expense reimbursement to BCHI for approved administrative claims in connection with the bankruptcy proceeding.

BOC formerly operated 29three branch locations in the Sarasota, Florida Panhandle.area. Including the effects of the purchase accounting adjustments, as of acquisition date, BOC had approximately $178.1 million in total assets, $118.5 million in loans after $5.8 million of loan discounts, and $139.8 million in deposits.

The Company has determined that the acquisition of the net assets of BOC constitutes a business combination as defined by the ASC Topic 805. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented at their fair values as required. Fair values were determined based on the requirements of ASC Topic 820. In many cases, the determination of these fair values required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change.

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above:

Cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with other banks – The carrying amount of these assets is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.

Investment securities – Investment securities were acquired from BOC with a $113,000 adjustment to market value based upon quoted market prices.

Loans – Fair values for loans were based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and current discount rates. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and include adjustments for liquidity concerns.

The Company evaluated $106.8 million of the loans purchased in conjunction with the acquisition in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic310-20,Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs,which were recorded with a $3.0 million discount. As a result, the fair value discount on these loans is being accreted into interest income over the weighted average life of the loans using a constant yield method. The remaining $17.5 million of loans evaluated were considered purchased credit impaired loans within the provisions of FASB ASC Topic310-30,Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, and were recorded with a $2.8 million discount. These purchase credit impaired loans will recognize interest income through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows.

Bank premises and equipment – Bank premises and equipment were acquired from BOC at market value.

Foreclosed assets held for sale – These assets are presented at the estimated fair values that management expects to receive when the properties are sold, net of related costs to sell.

Accrued interest receivable – Accrued interest receivable was acquired from BOC at market value.

Deferred tax asset – The current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the differences in the carrying values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, at the Company’s statutory federal and state income tax rate of 39.225%.

Core deposit intangible – This intangible asset represents the value of the relationships that BOC had with its deposit customers. The fair value of this intangible asset was estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology that gave appropriate consideration to expected customer attrition rates, cost of the deposit base, and the net maintenance cost attributable to customer deposits. The Company closed all five branch locations duringrecorded $968,000 of core deposit intangible.

Deposits – The fair values used for the July 2015 systems conversiondemand and returnedsavings deposits that comprise the facilities backtransaction accounts acquired, by definition equal the amount payable on demand at the acquisition date. The $270,000 fair value adjustment applied for time deposits was because the weighted-average interest rate of BOC’s certificates of deposits were estimated to be below the current market rates.

FHLB borrowed funds – The fair value of FHLB borrowed funds is estimated based on borrowing rates currently available to the FDIC.Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities.

See Note 2 “Business Combinations”Accrued interest payable and other liabilities – The fair value used represents the adjustment of certain estimated liabilities from BOC.

The Company’s operating results for the period ended June 30, 2017, include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the acquisition date. Due to the fair value adjustments recorded and the fact BOC total assets acquired are less than 5% of total assets as of June 30, 2017 excluding BOC as recorded by HBI as of acquisition date, historical results are not believed to be material to the Company’s results, and thus nopro-forma information is presented.

For purposes of the maturity tables, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on anticipated maturities. The mortgage-backed securities may mature earlier than their weighted-average contractual maturities because of principal prepayments.

During the three andsix-month periods ended June 30, 2017, approximately $12.0 million and $27.1 million, respectively, inavailable-for-sale securities were sold. The gross realized gains and losses on the sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 totaled approximately $514,000 and $127,000, respectively. The gross realized gains and losses on the sales for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2017 totaled approximately $937,000 and $127,000, respectively. The income tax expense/benefit to net security gains and losses was 39.225% of the gross amounts.

During the three andsix-month periods ended June 30, 2016, approximately $844,000 and $2.2 million, inavailable-for-sale securities were sold, respectively. The gross realized gains on the sales for the three andsix-month periods ended June 30, 2016 totaled approximately $15,000 and $25,000, respectively. The income tax expense/benefit to net security gains and losses was 39.225% of the gross amounts.

During the three-month periodthree andsix-month periods ended June 30, 2015, no available-for-sale securities were sold. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2015,2017, oneheld-to-maturity security experienced its second downgrade in its credit rating. The Company made a strategic decision to sell thisheld-to-maturity security for approximately $931,000$483,000, which resulted in available-for-sale securities were sold. Thea gross realized gainloss on the sale for the three andsix-month period periods ended June 30, 2015 totaled2017 of approximately $4,000. The income tax expense/benefit to net security gains and losses was 39.225% of the gross amounts.$7,000.

The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any unrealized losses are deemed to be other than temporary. In completing these evaluations the Company follows the requirements of FASB ASC 320,Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. Certain investment securities are valued less than their historical cost. These declines are primarily the result of the rate for these investments yielding less than current market rates. Based on evaluation of available evidence, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. The Company does not intend to sell or believe it will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

During the three andsix-month periods ended June 30, 2016,2017, no securities were deemed to have other-than-temporary impairment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016,2017, the Company had investment securities with approximately $1.5$1.4 million in unrealized losses, which have been in continuous loss positions for more than twelve months. Excluding impairment write downs taken in prior periods, the Company’s assessments indicated that the cause of the market depreciation was primarily the change in interest rates and not the issuer’s financial condition, or downgrades by rating agencies. In addition, approximately 81.3%75.3% of the Company’s investment portfolio matures in five years or less. As a result, the Company has the ability and intent to hold such securities until maturity.

The following shows gross unrealized losses and estimated fair value of investment securities classified asavailable-for-sale andheld-to-maturity with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual investment securities have been in a continuous loss position as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015:2016:

During the three andsix-month periods ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold $5.8 million and $9.8 million, respectively, of the guaranteed portion of certain SBA loans, which resulted in a gain of approximately $387,000 and $575,000, respectively. During the three andsix-month periods ended June 30, 2016, the Company sold $1.2 million of the guaranteed portion of certain SBA loans, which resulted in a gain of approximately $79,000. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, no SBA loans were sold.

Mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $42.3$45.8 million and $38.9$56.2 million at June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively, are included in residential1-4 family loans. Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, determined using an aggregate basis. Gains and losses resulting from sales of mortgage loans are recognized when the respective loans are sold to investors. Gains and losses are determined by the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of the loans sold, net of discounts collected or paid. The Company obtains forward commitments to sell mortgage loans to reduce market risk on mortgage loans in the process of origination and mortgage loans held for sale. The forward commitments acquired by the Company for mortgage loans in process of origination are considered mandatory forward commitments. Because these commitments are structured on a mandatory basis, the Company is required to substitute another loan or to buy back the commitment if the original loan does not fund. These commitments are derivative instruments and their fair values at June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 were not material.

The acquired loans were grouped into pools based on common risk characteristics and were recorded at their estimated fair values, which incorporated estimated credit losses at the acquisition dates. These loan pools are systematically reviewed by the Company to determine material changes in cash flow estimates from those identified at the timeon purchased loans and accretable discount for credit losses on purchased loans, respectively, as of the acquisition. Techniques used in determining risk of loss are similar to the Centennial non-covered loan portfolio, with most focus being placed on those loan pools which include the larger loan relationships and those loan pools which exhibit higher risk characteristics. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $3.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, were accruing loans past due 90 days or more.

Note: Purchased non-coveredcredit impaired loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality are accounted for on a pooled basis under ASC310-30. All of these pools are currently considered to be performing, resulting in none of the purchased non-coveredcredit impaired loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality being classified as non-covered impaired loans as of December 31, 2015.2016.

Interest recognized on non-covered impaired loans during the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 20152016 was approximately $532,000$509,000 and $522,000,$532,000, respectively. Interest recognized on non-covered impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 20152016 was approximately $1.1$1.0 million and $1.0$1.1 million, respectively. The amount of interest recognized on non-covered impaired loans on the cash basis is not materially different than the accrual basis.

Credit Quality Indicators. As part of theon-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk rating of loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs,(iv) non-performing loans and (v) the general economic conditions in Arkansas, Florida, Alabama and Alabama.New York.

The Company utilizes a risk rating matrix to assign a risk rating to each of its loans. Loans are rated on a scale from 1 to 8. Descriptions of the general characteristics of the 8 risk ratings are as follows:

 

  Risk rating 1 – Excellent. Loans in this category are to persons or entities of unquestionable financial strength, a highly liquid financial position, with collateral that is liquid and well margined. These borrowers have performed without question on past obligations, and the Bank expects their performance to continue. Internally generated cash flow covers current maturities of long-term debt by a substantial margin. Loans secured by bank certificates of deposit and savings accounts, with appropriate holds placed on the accounts, are to be rated in this category.

 

  Risk rating 2 – Good. These are loans to persons or entities with strong financial condition and above-average liquidity that have previously satisfactorily handled their obligations with the Bank. Collateral securing the Bank’s debt is margined in accordance with policy guidelines. Internally generated cash flow covers current maturities of long-term debt more than adequately. Unsecured loans to individuals supported by strong financial statements and on which repayment is satisfactory may be included in this classification.

 

  Risk rating 3 – Satisfactory. Loans to persons or entities with an average financial condition, adequate collateral margins, adequate cash flow to service long-term debt, and net worth comprised mainly of fixed assets are included in this category. These entities are minimally profitable now, with projections indicating continued profitability into the foreseeable future. Closely held corporations or businesses where a majority of the profits are withdrawn by the owners or paid in dividends are included in this rating category. Overall, these loans are basically sound.

 

  Risk rating 4 – Watch. Borrowers who have marginal cash flow, marginal profitability or have experienced an unprofitable year and a declining financial condition characterize these loans. The borrower has in the past satisfactorily handled debts with the Bank, but in recent months has either been late, delinquent in making payments, or made sporadic payments. While the Bank continues to be adequately secured, margins have decreased or are decreasing, despite the borrower’s continued satisfactory condition. Other characteristics of borrowers in this class include inadequate credit information, weakness of financial statement and repayment capacity, but with collateral that appears to limit exposure. Included in this category are loans to borrowers in industries that are experiencing elevated risk.

 

  Risk rating 5 – Other Loans Especially Mentioned (“OLEM”). A loan criticized as OLEM has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. OLEM assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

 

  Risk rating 6 – Substandard. A loan classified as substandard is inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual assets.

 

  Risk rating 7 – Doubtful. A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. These are poor quality loans in which neither the collateral, if any, nor the financial condition of the borrower presently ensure collectability in full in a reasonable period of time; in fact, there is permanent impairment in the collateral securing the loan.

  Risk rating 8 – Loss.Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may occur in the future. This classification is based upon current facts, not probabilities. Assets classified as loss should becharged-off in the period in which they became uncollectible.

The Company’s classified loans include loans in risk ratings 6, 7 and 8. The following is a presentation of classified non-covered loans (excluding loans accounted for under ASC Topic310-30) by class as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015:2016:

Loans may be classified, but not considered impaired, due to one of the following reasons: (1) The Company has established minimum dollar amount thresholds for loan impairment testing. All loans over $2.0 million that are rated 5 – 8 are individually assessed for impairment on a quarterly basis. Loans rated 5 – 8 that fall under the threshold amount are not individually tested for impairment and therefore are not included in impaired loans; (2) of the loans that are above the threshold amount and tested for impairment, after testing, some are considered to not be impaired and are not included in impaired loans.

The loan pools were evaluated by the Company and are currently forecasted to have a slowerrun-off than originally expected. As a result, the Company has reforecast the total accretable yield expectations for those loan pools by $6.6$1.9 million. This updated forecast does not change the expected weighted average yields on the loan pools.

During the 20162017 impairment tests on the estimated cash flows of non-loss-share loans, wethe Company established that several non-covered loan pools were determined to have a materially projected credit improvement. As a result of this improvement, wethe Company will recognize approximately $6.9$1.7 million as an additional adjustment to yield over the weighted average life of the loans.

8.7. Other Assets

Other assets consists primarily of FDIC claims receivable, equity securities without a readily determinable fair value and other miscellaneous assets. As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 other assets were $131.2$136.5 million and $117.9$129.3 million, respectively.

An indemnification asset was created when the Company acquired FDIC covered loans. The indemnification asset represents the carrying amount of the right to receive payments from the FDIC for losses incurred on specified assets acquired from failed insured depository institutions or otherwise purchased from the FDIC that are covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. When the Company experiences a loss on the covered loans and subsequently requests reimbursement of the loss from the FDIC, the indemnification asset is reduced by the FDIC reimbursable amount. A corresponding claim receivable is consequently recorded in other assets until the cash is received from the FDIC. The FDIC claims receivable was approximately $536,000 and $3.2 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company has equity securities without readily determinable fair values. These equity securities are outside the scope of ASC Topic 320,Investments-Debt and Equity Securities.

The trust preferred securities aretax-advantaged issues that qualify for Tier 1 capital treatment subject to certain limitations. Distributions on these securities are included in interest expense. Each of the trusts is a statutory business trust organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust securities and investing the proceeds in the Company’s subordinated debentures, the sole asset of each trust. The trust preferred securities of each trust represent preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the respective trusts and are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the subordinated debentures held by the trust. The Company wholly owns the common securities of each trust. Each trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making payment on the related subordinated debentures. The Company’s obligations under the subordinated securities and other relevant trust agreements, in aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each respective trust’s obligations under the trust securities issued by each respective trust.

14.Subordinated Debt Securities. On April 3, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.625%Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) for net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and issuance costs, of approximately $297.0 million. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated debt obligations and mature on April 15, 2027. From and including the date of issuance to, but excluding April 15, 2022, the Notes bear interest at an initial rate of 5.625% per annum. From and including April 15, 2022 to, but excluding the maturity date or earlier redemption, the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR as calculated on each applicable date of determination plus a spread of 3.575%; provided, however, that in the event three-month LIBOR is less than zero, then three-month LIBOR shall be deemed to be zero.

The Company may, beginning with the interest payment date of April 15, 2022, and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption. The Company may also redeem the Notes at any time, including prior to April 15, 2022, at its option, in whole but not in part, if: (i) a change or prospective change in law occurs that could prevent the Company from deducting interest payable on the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (ii) a subsequent event occurs that could preclude the Notes from being recognized as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes; or (iii) the Company is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. The Notes provide the Company with additional Tier 2 regulatory capital to support expected future growth.

Stock-based compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards granted is based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option awards, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options granted but are not considered by the model. Accordingly, while management believes that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model provides a reasonable estimate of fair value, the model does not necessarily provide the best single measure of fair value for the Company’s employee stock options. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the yearsix months ended June 30, 20162017 was $5.08$7.10 per share (split adjusted).share. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 20152016 was $4.28$5.08 per share (split adjusted). The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the weighted-average assumptions for expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected life of options granted.

17. Concentration16. Significant Estimates and Concentrations of Credit Risks

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Estimates related to the allowance for loan losses and certain concentrations of credit risk are reflected in Note 5, while deposit concentrations are reflected in Note 8.

The Company’s primary market areas are in Arkansas, Florida, South Alabama and South Alabama.New York. The Company primarily grants loans to customers located within these geographical areasmarkets unless the borrower has an established relationship with the Company.

The diversity of the Company’s economic base tends to provide a stable lending environment. Although the Company has a loan portfolio that is diversified in both industry and geographic area, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon real estate values, tourism demand and the economic conditions prevailing in its market areas.

18. Significant Estimates and Concentrations

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Estimates related to the allowance for loan losses and certain concentrations of credit risk are reflected in Note 6, while deposit concentrations are reflected in Note 9.

Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, at June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015, non-covered2016, commercial real estate loans represented 57.9%60.8% and 60.6%59.1% of non-coveredtotal loans receivable, respectively, and 318.6%322.6% and 332.3%328.9% of total stockholders’ equity, respectively. Non-covered residentialResidential real estate loans represented 24.4% and 23.0% of total loans receivable and 23.7% of non-covered loans129.6% and 126.7% and 130.1%127.8% of total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

Approximately 89.5%89.6% of the Company’s total loans and 90.7% of the Company’s real estate loans as of June 30, 2016,2017, are to borrowers whose collateral is located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Florida,New York, the three states in which the Company has its branch locations. Additionally, the Company has 81.0% of its loans as real estate loans primarily in Arkansas, Florida and South Alabama.

Although general economic conditions in ourthe Company’s market areas have improved, both nationally and locally, over the past three years and have shown signs of continued improvement, financial institutions still face circumstances and challenges which, in some cases, have resulted and could potentially result, in large declines in the fair values of investments and other assets, constraints on liquidity and significant credit quality problems, including severe volatility in the valuation of real estate and other collateral supporting loans. The financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Company.

Any future volatility in the economy could cause the values of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements to change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for loan losses and capital that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity.

19.17. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities to fulfill the financing needs of their customers. These commitments and contingent liabilities include lines of credit and commitments to extend credit and issue standby letters of credit. The Company applies the same credit policies and standards as they do in the lending process when making these commitments. The collateral obtained is based on the assessed creditworthiness of the borrower.

At June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, commitments to extend credit of $1.72$1.89 billion and $1.43$1.82 billion, respectively, were outstanding. A percentage of these balances are participated out to other banks; therefore, the Company can call on the participating banks to fund future draws. Since some of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Outstanding standby letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by the Company, generally to guarantee the performance of a customer in third-party borrowing arrangements. The term of the guarantee is dependent upon the creditworthiness of the borrower, some of which are long-term. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does foron-balance-sheet instruments. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees at June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, is $39.2$45.8 million and $24.3$41.1 million, respectively.

The Company and/or its bank subsidiary have various unrelated legal proceedings, most of which involve loan foreclosure activity pending, which, in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations or cash flows of the Company and its subsidiary.

20.18. Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to a legal limitation on dividends that can be paid to the parent company without prior approval of the applicable regulatory agencies. Arkansas bank regulators have specified that the maximum dividend limit state banks may pay to the parent company without prior approval is 75% of the current year earnings plus 75% of the retained net earnings of the preceding year. Since the Bank is also under supervision of the Federal Reserve, it is further limited if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year by the Bank exceeds the Bank’s net profits to date for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. During the first six months of 2016,2017, the Company requested approximately $21.4$38.1 million in regular dividends from its banking subsidiary. This dividend is equal to approximately 24%37.0% of the Company’s banking subsidiary’s earnings for the first six months of 2016.year-to-date 2017 earnings.

The Company’s banking subsidiary is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certainoff-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Company’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, common Tier 1 equity and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of June 30, 2016,2017, the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

The Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines include the definitions for (1) a well-capitalized institution, (2) an adequately-capitalized institution, and (3) an undercapitalized institution. Under Basel III, the criteria for a well-capitalized institution are now: a 6.5% “common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital” ratio, a 5% “Tier 1 leverage capital” ratio, an 8% “Tier 1 risk-based capital” ratio, and a 10% “total risk-based capital” ratio. As of June 30, 2016,2017, the Bank met the capital standards for a well-capitalized institution. The Company’s “common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital” ratio, “Tier 1 leverage capital” ratio, “Tier 1 risk-based capital” ratio, and “total risk-based capital” ratio were 10.6%11.79%, 10.1%10.54%, 11.3%12.47%, and 12.2%16.78%, respectively, as of June 30, 2016.2017.

21.19. Additional Cash Flow Information

In connection with the GHI acquisition, accounted for using the purchase method, the Company acquired approximately $398.1 million in assets, including $41.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, assumed $345.0 million in liabilities, issued 2,738,038 shares of its common stock valued at approximately $77.5 million as of February 23, 2017, and paid approximately $18.5 million in cash in exchange for all outstanding shares of GHI common stock.

In connection with the BOC acquisition, accounted for using the purchase method, the Company acquired approximately $178.1 million in assets, including $4.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, assumed $170.1 million in liabilities, issued no equity and paid approximately $4.2 million in cash. As a result, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $3.8 million.

The following is a summary of the Company’s additional cash flow information during thesix-month periods ended:

22.20. Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2  Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Available-for-sale securities are the only material instruments valued on a recurring basis which are held by the Company at fair value. The Company does not have any Level 1 securities. Primarily all of the Company’s securities are considered to be Level 2 securities. These Level 2 securities consist primarily of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities plus state and political subdivisions. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, Level 3 securities were immaterial. In addition, there were no material transfers between hierarchy levels during 20162017 and 2015.2016.

The Company reviews the prices supplied by the independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. In general, the Company does not purchase investment portfolio securities with complicated structures. Pricing for the Company’s investment securities is fairly generic and is easily obtained.

Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are the only material financial assets valued on anon-recurring basis which are held by the Company at fair value. Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans are carried at the net realizable value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require an increase, such increase is reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. The fair value of loans with specific allocated losses was $83.2$75.2 million and $87.2$91.5 million as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. This valuation is considered Level 3, consisting of appraisals of underlying collateral. The Company reversed approximately $239,000$111,000 and $255,000$239,000 of accrued interest receivable whennon-covered impaired loans were put onnon-accrual status during the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. The Company reversed approximately $307,000$209,000 and $306,000$307,000 of accrued interest receivable whennon-covered impaired loans were put onnon-accrual status during the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively.

Foreclosed assets held for sale are the only materialnon-financial assets valued on anon-recurring basis which are held by the Company at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. At foreclosure, if the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of the real estate acquired is less than the Company’s recorded investment in the related loan, a write-down is recognized through a charge to the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, valuations are periodically performed by management and any subsequent reduction in value is recognized by a charge to income. The fair value of foreclosed assets held for sale is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals of underlying collateral. As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the fair value of foreclosed assets held for sale, not covered by loss share, less estimated costs to sell, was $17.6$18.8 million and $18.5$16.0 million, respectively.

Foreclosed assets held for sale with a carrying value of approximately $3.8 million$144,000 were remeasured during the six months ended June 30, 2016,2017, resulting in a write-down of approximately $1.1 million.$144,000.

Regulatory guidelines require us to reevaluate the fair value of foreclosed assets held for sale on at least an annual basis. OurThe Company’s policy is to comply with the regulatory guidelines.

The significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs used in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral-dependent impaired loans and foreclosed assets primarily relate to customized discounting criteria applied to the customer’s reported amount of collateral. The amount of the collateral discount depends upon the condition and marketability of the underlying collateral. As the Company’s primary objective in the event of default would be to monetize the collateral to settle the outstanding balance of the loan, less marketable collateral would receive a larger discount. During the reported periods, collateral discounts ranged from 20% to 50% for commercial and residential real estate collateral.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed in these notes:

Cash and cash equivalents and federal funds sold — For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities –held-to-maturity — These securities consist primarily of mortgage-backed securities plus state and political subdivisions. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Loans receivable, not covered by loss share, net of non-covered impaired loans and allowance— For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are assumed to approximate the carrying amounts. The fair values for fixed-rate loans are 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.

Loans receivable covered by FDIC loss share, net of allowance Fair values for acquired loans are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considers factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan, current discount rates and whether or not the loan is amortizing. Loans are grouped together according to similar characteristics and are treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and include adjustments for liquidity concerns. The discount rate does not include a factor for credit losses as that has been included in the estimated cash flows.

FDIC indemnification asset— Although this asset is a contractual receivable from the FDIC, there is no effective interest rate. The Bank will collect this asset over the next several years. The amount ultimately collected will depend on the timing and amount of collections and charge-offs on the acquired assets covered by the loss sharing agreement.

Accrued interest receivable —The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase — The fair values of demand deposits, savings deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand and, therefore, approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that utilizes interest rates currently being offered on time deposits with similar contractual maturities.

FHLB and other borrowed funds — For short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on the current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Accrued interest payable — The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Subordinated debentures — The fair value of subordinated debentures is estimated using the rates that would be charged for subordinated debentures of similar remaining maturities.

Commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and lines of credit— The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. The fair value of these commitments is not material.

The following table presents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

23.21. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU2014-09 provides guidance 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 and services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which defers the effective date of this standard to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, early adoption is permitted for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which amends certain aspects of the guidance in ASU2014-09 (FASB’s new revenue standard) on (1) identifying performance obligations and (2) licensing. ASU2014-10’s effective date and transition provisions are aligned with the requirements in ASU2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which amends certain aspects of the FASB’s new revenue standard, ASU2014-09. ASU2016-12’s effective date and transition provisions are aligned with the requirements in ASU2014-09

The guidance issued in ASU2014-09, ASU2015-14, ASU2016-10 and ASU2016-12 permit two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company plans to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018 and apply it prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact if any, ASU 2014-09this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position, resultsstatements. Only a portion of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12,Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, impacting FASB ASC 860,Transfers and Servicing. Generally, an award with a performance target requires an employee also render service once the performance target is achieved. In some cases, however, the terms of an award may provide that the performance target could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. The amendments in this update require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. An entity should applyCompany’s revenues are impacted by this guidance as it relatesbecause the guidance does not apply to awards with performance conditions that affect vestingrevenue on contracts accounted for under the financial instruments or insurance contracts standards. The Company’s evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, account for such awards. As such,identifying contracts within the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair valuescope of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized inguidance, reviewing and documenting its accounting for these contracts, and identifying and determining the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periodaccounting for which the service has already been rendered. The amendments in this update became effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.any related contract costs. The Company has adoptedis also identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements, which has made no impact to the Company’s financial statements.standard in 2018.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02,Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the consolidation requirements of ASU 810 by changing the consolidation analysis required under GAAP. The revised guidance amends the consolidation analysis based on certain fee arrangements or relationships to the reporting entity and, for limited partnerships, requires entities to consider the limited partner’s rights relative to the general partner. ASU 2015-02 became effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-02 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or its financial statement disclosures.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16,Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. ASU 2015-16 requires entities to recognize measurement period adjustments during the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. The income effects, if any, of a measurement period adjustment are cumulative and are to be reported in the period in which the adjustment to a provisional amount is determined. Also, ASU 2015-16 requires presentation on the face of the income statement or in the notes, the effect of the measurement period adjustment as if the adjustment had been recognized at acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015 for public business entities and should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date. Adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or its financial statement disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01,Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic (Subtopic825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Changes to the current GAAP model primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, ASU2016-01 clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses onavailable-for-sale securities. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting period and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance to the Company’s financial statements.statements, but does not anticipate the guidance to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the Company’s equity investments are immaterial. However, the amendments will have an impact on certain items that are disclosed at fair value that are not currently utilizing the exit price notion when measuring fair value. At this time, the Company cannot quantify the change in the fair value of such disclosures since the Company is currently evaluating the full impact of the standards and is in the planning stages of developing appropriate procedures and processes to comply with the disclosure requirements of such amendments. The current accounting policies and procedures will be adjusted after the Company has fully evaluated the standard to comply with the accounting changes mentioned above. For additional information on fair value of assets and liabilities, see Note 20.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in ASU2016-02 introduces a lessee model that brings most address several aspects of lease accounting with the significant change being the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for leases on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those inpreviously classified as operating leases. ASU 2014-09, the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in the ASU2016-02 is permitted for all entities. ManagementThe Company has several lease agreements for which the amendments will require the Company to recognize a lease liability to make lease payments and aright-of-use asset which will represent its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company is currently evaluatingreviewing the impact ofamendments to ensure it is fully compliant by the adoption of this guidancedate and doesn’t expect to early adopt. The impact is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.position or results of operations as the Company does not have a material amount of lease agreements. In addition, the Company will change its current accounting policies to comply with the amendments with such changes as mentioned above. For additional information on the Company’s leases, see Note 18 “Leases” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The ASU2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permittedThe Company adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2017. The Company has a stock-based compensation plan for which the ASU2016-09 guidance results in the associated excess tax benefits or deficiencies being recognized as tax expense or benefit in the income statement instead of the previous accounting treatment, which requires excess tax benefits to be recognized as an adjustment to additionalpaid-in capital and excess tax deficiencies to be recognized as either an offset to accumulated excess tax benefits, if any, interim or annual period. Management is currently evaluatingto the impactincome statement. In addition, such amounts are now classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows instead of the current accounting treatment, which required it to be classified as both an operating and a financing activity. The Company’s stock-based compensation plan has not historically generated material amounts of excess tax benefits or deficiencies and, therefore, the Company has not experienced a material change in the Company’s financial position or results of operation as a result of the adoption and implementation of this guidance toASU2016-09. For additional information on the Company’s financial statements.stock-based compensation plan, see Note 14.

On April 14,In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which amends certain aspects of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 (FASB’s new revenue standard) on (1) identifying performance obligations and (2) licensing. The ASU’s effective date and transition provisions are aligned with the requirements in ASU 2014-09, which is not yet effective. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU 2016-10 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

On May 3, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11,Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates2014-09 and2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting (SEC Update), which rescinds certain SEC guidance from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification in response to announcements made by the SEC staff at the EITF’sEmerging Issues Task Force’s (“EITF”) March 3, 2016, meeting. The ASU2016-11 is effective at the same time as ASU2014-09 and ASU2014-16. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2016-11 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

On May 9, 2016, The Company’s evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying transactions and accounts within the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which amends certain aspectsscope of the FASB’s new revenue standard, ASU 2014-09. The ASU’s effective dateguidance, reviewing its accounting and transition provisions are aligned withdisclosures for these transactions and accounts, and identifying and implementing any necessary changes to its accounting and disclosures as a result of the requirements in ASU 2014-09, which is not yet effective.guidance. The Company is currently evaluatingalso identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the impact, if any, ASU 2016-11 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.new standard in 2018.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13,Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the FASB’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The amendments in ASU adds2016-13 replace the incurred loss model with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the life of the loan and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to U.S. GAAP an impairment model (knowncalculate credit loss estimates, known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses.(“CECL”) model. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The ASU2016-13 is also intended to reduce the complexity of U.S. GAAP by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. The ASU2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The allowance for loan losses is a material estimate of the Company and given the change from an incurred loss model to a methodology that considers the credit loss over the life of the loan, there is the potential for an increase in the allowance for loan losses at adoption date. The Company is anticipating a significant change in the processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. The Company will also develop new procedures for determining an allowance for credit losses relating toheld-to-maturity investment securities. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment onavailable-for-sale investment securities will be replaced with an allowance approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2016-13 will have on its financial position and results of operations and currently does not know or cannot reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption of the amendments as a result of the complexity and extensive changes from the amendments. It is too early to assess the impact that the implementation of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; however, the Company has begun developing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the required adoption date. Among other things, the Company has initiated data gathering and assessment to support forecasting of asset quality, loan balances, and portfolio net charge-offs and have developed anin-house data warehouse as well as developed asset quality forecast models in preparation for the implementation of this standard. For additional information on the allowance for loan losses, see Note 5.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-15,Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,which amends the guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of ASU2016-15 is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent principles on this topic. ASU2016-15’s amendments add or clarify guidance on eight cash flow issues including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement ofzero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies; including bank-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented but may be applied prospectively from the earliest date practicable if retrospective application would be impracticable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2016-15 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures. The Company’s evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying transactions and accounts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing its accounting and disclosures for these transactions and accounts, and identifying and implementing any necessary changes to its accounting and disclosures as a result of the guidance. The Company is also identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018.

24. Subsequent Events

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-16,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings at the beginning period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted in the first interim period of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2016-16 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosure. The Company’s evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying transactions and accounts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing its accounting and disclosures for these transactions and accounts, and identifying and implementing any necessary changes to its accounting and disclosures as a result of the guidance. The Company is also identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018.

On July 27,In November 2016, Centennial entered into an agreementthe FASB issued ASU2016-18,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which clarifies how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, and, as a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. An entity with a material balance of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information about the FDICnature of the restrictions. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and the new guidance must be applied retrospectively to terminate all loss share agreementsperiods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2016-18 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosure. The Company’s evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying transactions and accounts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing its accounting and disclosures for these transactions and accounts, and identifying and implementing any necessary changes to its accounting and disclosures as a result of the guidance. The Company is also identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-01,Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which were entered into in 2010 in conjunctionprovides guidance to entities to assist with Centennial’s acquisitionevaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities (collectively, the “set”) is a business and provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. Under the new guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets (“covered assets”)acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not represent a business. Also, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and assumptiona substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to produce outputs. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied on a prospective basis to any transactions occurring within the period of substantially alladoption. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual periods in which the financial statements have not been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2017-01 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosure. The Company’s evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying transactions and accounts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing its accounting and disclosures for these transactions and accounts, and identifying and implementing any necessary changes to its accounting and disclosures as a result of the guidance. The Company is also identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-03,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The amendments in the update relate to SEC paragraphs pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF meetings related to disclosure of the impact of recently issued accounting standards. The SEC staff’s view that a registrant should evaluate ASC updates that have not yet been adopted to determine the appropriate financial disclosures about the potential material effects of the updates on the financial statements when adopted. If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact of an update, then in addition to making a statement to that effect, the registrant should consider additional qualitative financial statement disclosures to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact. The staff expects the additional qualitative disclosures to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies expected to be applied compared to current accounting policies. Also, the registrant should describe the status of its process to implement the new standards and the significant implementation matters yet to be addressed. The amendments specifically addressed recent ASC amendments to ASU2016-02,Leases, and ASU2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, although, the amendments apply to any subsequent amendments to guidance in the ASC. The Company adopted the amendments in this update during the fourth quarter of 2016 and appropriate disclosures have been included in this Note for each recently issued accounting standard.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04,Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of six failed banks in FDIC-assisted transactions.a reporting unit to measure goodwill impairment. Under the early termination, all rights and obligations of Centennial andamendments in the FDIC undernew ASU, goodwill impairment testing will be performed by comparing the FDIC loss share agreements, including the clawback provisions and the settlement of loss share and expense reimbursement claims, have been resolved and terminated.

Under the termsfair value of the agreement, Centennial made a net payment of $6.6 million to the FDIC as considerationreporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the early terminationamount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The new standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim goodwill impairment testing performed after January 1, 2017. The Company has goodwill from prior business combinations and performs an annual impairment test or more frequently if changes or circumstances occur that wouldmore-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of the loss share agreements. The early terminationreporting unit below its carrying value. During 2016, the Company performed its impairment assessment and determined the fair value of the aggregated reporting units exceed the carrying value, such that the Company’s goodwill was recorded innot considered impaired. Although the Company cannot anticipate future goodwill impairment assessments, based on the most recent assessment it is unlikely that an impairment amount would need to be calculated and, therefore, does not anticipate a material impact from these amendments to the Company’s financial statements by removingposition and results of operations. The current accounting policies and processes are not anticipated to change, except for the FDIC Indemnification Asset, receivableelimination of the Step 2 analysis.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-05,Other Income: Gains and Losses from FDIC, the FDIC True-up liabilityDerecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the scope of the FASB’s guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition (ASC610-20) as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The ASU conforms the derecognition guidance on nonfinancial assets with the model for transactions in the new revenue standard (ASC 606, as amended). The ASU requires an entity to derecognize the nonfinancial asset orin-substance nonfinancial asset in a partial sale transaction when (1) the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary under ASC 810 and recording(2) control of the asset is transferred in accordance with ASC 606. The entity therefore has to consider repurchase agreements (e.g., a one-time, pre-tax chargecall option to repurchase the ownership interest in a subsidiary) in its assessment and may not be able to derecognize the nonfinancial assets, even though it no longer has a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary in accordance with ASC 810. The ASU illustrates the application of approximately $3.9 million.this guidance in ASC610-20-55-15 and55-16. The effective date of the new guidance is aligned with the requirements in the new revenue standard, which is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017, and for nonpublic entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. If the entity decides to early adopt the ASU’s guidance, it must also early adopt ASC 606 (and vice versa). The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2017-05 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures. The Company’s evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying transactions and accounts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing its accounting and disclosures for these transactions and accounts, and identifying and implementing any necessary changes to its accounting and disclosures as a result of the guidance. The Company is also identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-08,Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Topic 310): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. This ASU will shorten the amortization period for the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. This ASU does not apply to securities held at a discount, which will continue to be amortized to maturity. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2017-08 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures. The Company’s evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying transactions and accounts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing its accounting and disclosures for these transactions and accounts, and identifying and implementing any necessary changes to its accounting and disclosures as a result of the guidance. The Company is also identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-09,Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The amendments in ASU2017-09 should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not anticipate any modifications to its existing awards and therefore the adoption of ASU2017-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or its financial statement disclosures.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-11,Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily RedeemableNon-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigatingTopic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemablenon-controlling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2017-11 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures. The Company’s evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying transactions and accounts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing its accounting and disclosures for these transactions and accounts, and identifying and implementing any necessary changes to its accounting and disclosures as a result of the guidance. The Company is also identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018.

Home BancShares, Inc.

Conway, Arkansas

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Home BancShares, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2016,2017, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three- andsix-month periods ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, and the related statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for thesix-month periods ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015,2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2016,28, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015,2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derivedderived.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Form10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2016,28, 2017, which includes the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Company”, “us”, “we”, and “our” refer to Home BancShares, Inc. on a consolidated basis.

General

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Conway, Arkansas, offering a broad array of financial services through our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Centennial Bank (sometimes referred to as “Centennial” or the “Bank”). As of June 30, 2016,2017, we had, on a consolidated basis, total assets of $9.58$10.87 billion, loans receivable, net of $6.95$7.75 billion, total deposits of $6.71$7.77 billion, and stockholders’ equity of $1.26$1.48 billion.

We generate most of our revenue from interest on loans and investments, service charges, and mortgage banking income. Deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and other borrowed funds are our primary source of funding. Our largest expenses are interest on our funding sources, salaries and related employee benefits and occupancy and equipment. We measure our performance by calculating our return on average common equity, return on average assets and net interest margin. We also measure our performance by our efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividingnon-interest expense less amortization of core deposit intangibles by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis andnon-interest income.

Overview

Credit Improvement in Purchased Credit Impaired Loan Pools

Impairment testing on the estimated cash flows of the purchased credit impaired loan pools is performed each quarter. Because the economy has improved since the impaired loans were acquired, quite often the impairment test has revealed a projected credit improvement in certain loan pools. As a result of these improvements, we are recognizing additional adjustments to yield over the weighted-average life of the loans. Improvements in credit quality for covered loans have decreased the basis in the related indemnification asset and increased our FDIC true-up liability. These positive events have reduced the indemnification asset and increased our FDIC true-up liability. The indemnification asset reduction is amortized over the weighted-average life of the shared-loss agreements. This amortization is shown as a reduction to FDIC indemnification non-interest income. The true-up liability is expensed over the remaining true-up measurement date as other non-interest expense.

Tables 2 and 3 summarize the recognition of these positive events and the financial impact to the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

Results of Operations for Three Months Ended June 30, 20162017 and 20152016

Our net income increased $9.6$6.6 million, or 28.3%15.1%, to $43.5$50.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016,2017, from $33.9$43.5 million for the same period in 2015.2016. On a diluted earnings per share basis, our earnings were $0.31$0.35 per share and $0.25$0.31 per share (split adjusted) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Excluding the $789,000 of merger expenses, net income was $50.7 million, and 2015, respectively.diluted earnings per share was $0.35 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $9.6$7.2 million increase in net income, excluding merger expenses, is primarily associated with additional net interest income largely resulting from our acquisitions and our organic loan growth plus a decrease in provision for loan losses in second quarter of 2017, growth innon-interest income and the reduced amortization of the indemnification asset when compared to the same period in 2015.2016. These improvements were partially offset by a slight increase in provision for loan losses in second quarter of 2016 and a modestan increase in the costs associated with the asset growth plus an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of $300 million of subordinated notes during the second quarter of 2017 when compared to the same period in 2015.2016.

Our GAAP net interest margin decreased from 5.00% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015 to 4.83% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016.2016 to 4.50% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The yield on loans was 5.81%5.78% and 6.01%5.81% for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. For both the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, we recognized $8.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively, in total net accretion for acquired loans and deposits. Thenon-GAAP margin excluding accretion income was relatively flat at4.11% and 4.24% and 4.27% for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. Additionally, thenon-GAAP yield on loans excluding accretion income was also relatively flat at5.28% and 5.09% and 5.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively. Consequently, with a growth of the average loan balance of $1.46 billion, we experienced a decline in the GAAP yield on loans andThe net interest margin becausewas negatively impacted by our April 2017 issuance of $300 million of 5.625%fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, which added approximately $4.3 million of interest expense when compared to the organic loan growth was approximately atsame quarter in 2016, and by our lower non-GAAP loan yields.strategic decision to keep excess cash liquidity on the books during the second quarter of 2017.

Our efficiency ratio was 37.52%37.48% for the three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, compared to 40.39%37.52% for the same period in 2015.2016. For the second quarter of 2016,2017, our core efficiency ratio was 36.84%37.29%, which is improvedincreased from the 40.30%36.84% reported for second quarter of 2015. While we have realized the cost savings from our acquisitions and reduced costs from our recent branch closures, the improvement in the core efficiency ratio was primarily achieved through revenue from additional net interest income resulting from our acquisitions and our organic loan growth plus growth in non-interest income.2016. The core efficiency ratio is anon-GAAP measure and is calculated by dividingnon-interest expense less amortization of core deposit intangibles by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis andnon-interest income excludingnon-fundamental items such as merger expenses, FDIC loss sharebuy-out expense and/or gains and losses.

Our annualized return on average assets was 1.83%1.86% for the three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, compared to 1.72%1.83% for the same period in 2015.2016. Our annualized return on average common equity was 14.11%13.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, compared to 12.98%14.11% for the same period in 2015. We have been making notable progress in improving the performance of our legacy and acquired franchises, which is reflected in the improvement in our return on average assets and return on average common equity from 2015 to 2016.

Results of Operations for Six Months Ended June 30, 20162017 and 20152016

Our net income increased $19.9$12.0 million, or 30.6%14.1%, to $84.9$97.0 million for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2016,2017, from $65.0$84.9 million for the same period in 2015.2016. On a diluted earnings per share basis, our earnings were $0.68 per share and $0.60 per share and $0.48 per share (split adjusted) for thesix-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Excluding the $3.8 million of gain on acquisition and 2015, respectively.$7.5 million of merger expenses, net income was $98.1 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.68 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $19.9$13.1 million increase in net income, excluding gain on acquisitions and merger expenses, is primarily associated with additional net interest income largely resulting from our acquisitions and our organic loan growth plus a decrease in provision for loan losses in first six months of 2017, growth innon-interest income and the reduced amortization of the indemnification asset when compared to the same period in 2015.2016. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in provision for loan losses during the first six months of 2016 and a modest increase in the costs associated with the asset growth plus an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of $300 million of subordinated notes during the second quarter of 2017 when compared to the same period in 2015.2016.

Financial Condition as of and for the Period Ended June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016

Our total assets as of June 30, 20162017 increased $293.0 million$1.06 billion to $9.58$10.87 billion from the $9.29$9.81 billion reported as of December 31, 2015.2016. Our loan portfolio not covered by loss share increased $385.3$446.8 million to $6.96$7.83 billion as of June 30, 2016,2017, from $6.58$7.39 billion as of December 31, 2015.2016. This increase is a result of our organic loan growthacquisitions since December 31, 2015. Our loan portfolio covered by loss share decreased $4.7 million to $57.4 million as of June 30, 2016, from $62.2 million as of December 31, 2015. This decrease is primarily associated with normal pay-downs and payoffs.2016. Stockholders’ equity increased $65.2$148.5 million to $1.26$1.48 billion as of June 30, 2016,2017, compared to $1.20$1.33 billion as of December 31, 2015.2016. The increase in stockholders’ equity is primarily associated with the $77.5 million of common stock issued to the GHI shareholders plus the $71.4 million increase in retained earnings combined with the $6.0 million of comprehensive income during the first six months offset by the repurchase of $10.3 million of our common stock. The annualized improvement in stockholders’ equity for the first six months of 20162017, excluding the $77.5 million of common stock issued to the GHI shareholders, was 10.9%10.8%. The increase in stockholders’ equity is primarily associated with the $62.1 million increase in retained earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies

Overview. We prepare our consolidated financial statements based on the selection of certain accounting policies, generally accepted accounting principles and customary practices in the banking industry. These policies, in certain areas, require us to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our accounting policies are described in detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included as part of this document.

We consider a policy critical if (i) the accounting estimate requires assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the accounting estimate; and (ii) different estimates that could reasonably have been used in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on our financial statements. Using these criteria, we believe that the accounting policies most critical to us are those associated with our lending practices, including the accounting for the allowance for loan losses, foreclosed assets, investments, intangible assets, income taxes and stock options.

Investments –Available-for-sale. Securitiesavailable-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. Securities that are held asavailable-for-sale are used as a part of our asset/liability management strategy. Securities that may be sold in response to interest rate changes, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital, and other similar factors are classified asavailable-for-sale.

Investments –Held-to-Maturity. Securitiesheld-to-maturity, which include any security for which we have the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are reported at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income using the constant yield method over the period to maturity.

Loans Receivable Not Covered by Loss Share and Allowance for Loan Losses. Except for loans acquired during our acquisitions, substantially all of our loans receivable not covered by loss share are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, as it is management’s intent to hold them for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, except for mortgage loans held for sale. Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based on the principal balance outstanding.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against income. The allowance represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable credit losses on identifiable loans that may become uncollectible and probable credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio. The amounts of provisions for loan losses are based on management’s analysis and evaluation of the loan portfolio for identification of problem credits, internal and external factors that may affect collectability, relevant credit exposure, particular risks inherent in different kinds of lending, current collateral values and other relevant factors.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component coversnon-classified loans and is based on historicalcharge-off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Bank’sbank’s internal risk rating process. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

Loans considered impaired, under FASB ASC310-10-35, are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. We apply this policy even if delays or shortfalls in payment are expected to be insignificant. The aggregate amount of impairment of loans is utilized in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and amount of provisions thereto. Losses on impaired loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when in the process of collection it appears likely that such losses will be realized. The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion the collection of interest is doubtful, or generally when loans are 90 days or more past due. When accrual of interest is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans.

Loans are placed onnon-accrual status when management believes that the borrower’s financial condition, after giving consideration to economic and business conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is doubtful, or generally when loans are 90 days or more past due. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Accrued interest related tonon-accrual loans is generally charged against the allowance for loan losses when accrued in prior years and reversed from interest income if accrued in the current year. Interest income onnon-accrual loans may be recognized to the extent cash payments are received, although the majority of payments received are usually applied to principal.Non-accrual loans are generally returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are less than 90 days past due, the customer has made required payments for at least six months, and we reasonably expect to collect all principal and interest.

Acquisition Accounting and Acquired Loans and Related Indemnification Asset.Loans.We account for our acquisitions under FASB ASC Topic 805,Business Combinations, which requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting. All identifiable assets acquired, including loans, are recorded at fair value. No allowance for loan losses related to the acquired loans is recorded on the acquisition date as the fair value of the purchased loans acquired incorporates assumptions regarding credit risk. All purchased loans acquired are recorded at fair value in accordance with the fair value methodology prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements. For covered acquired loans fair value is exclusive of the shared-loss agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The fair value estimates associated with the loans include estimates related to expected prepayments and the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows.

Over the life of the purchased credit impaired loans, acquired, we continue to estimate cash flows expected to be collected on pools of loans sharing common risk characteristics, which are treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. We evaluate at each balance sheet date whether the present value of our pools of loans determined using the effective interest rates has decreased and if so, recognize a provision for loan loss in its consolidated statement of income. For any increases in cash flows expected to be collected, we adjust the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the pool’s remaining life.

Because the FDIC will reimburse us for certain acquired loans should we experience a loss, an indemnification asset is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The indemnification asset is recognized at the same time as the indemnified loans, and measured on the same basis, subject to collectability or contractual limitations. The shared-loss agreements on the acquisition date reflect the reimbursements expected to be received from the FDIC, using an appropriate discount rate, which reflects counterparty credit risk and other uncertainties.

For our FDIC-assisted transactions, shared-loss agreements are measured on the same basis as the related indemnified loans. Because the acquired loans are subject to the accounting prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 310,Receivables, subsequent changes to the basis of the shared-loss agreements also follow that model. Deterioration in the credit quality of the loans (immediately recorded as an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses) would immediately increase the basis of the shared-loss agreements, with the offset recorded through the consolidated statement of income as a reduction of the provision for loan losses. Increases in the credit quality or cash flows of loans (reflected as an adjustment to yield and accreted into income over the weighted-average remaining life of the loans) decrease the basis of the shared-loss agreements, with such decrease being amortized into income over 1) the same period or 2) the life of the shared-loss agreements, whichever is shorter. Loss assumptions used in the basis of the indemnified loans are consistent with the loss assumptions used to measure the indemnification asset. Fair value accounting incorporates into the fair value of the indemnification asset an element of the time value of money, which is accreted back into income over the life of the shared-loss agreements.

Upon the determination of an incurred loss, the indemnification asset is reduced by the amount owed by the FDIC. A corresponding claim receivable is recorded until cash is received from the FDIC.

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale.Real estate and personal properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real estate and personal properties are carried at fair value less costs to sell. Gains and losses from the sale of other real estate and personal properties are recorded innon-interest income, and expenses used to maintain the properties are included innon-interest expenses.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. The core deposit intangible represents the excess intangible value of acquired deposit customer relationships as determined by valuation specialists. The core deposit intangibles are being amortized over 48 to 121 months on a straight-line basis. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis. We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill and core deposit intangibles as required by FASB ASC 350,Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, in the fourth quarter.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (ASC 740,Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. We determine deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms “examined” and “upon examination” also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets themore-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met themore-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to the management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Both we and our subsidiary file consolidated tax returns. Our subsidiary provides for income taxes on a separate return basis, and remits to us amounts determined to be currently payable.

Acquisitions

Acquisition of Florida Business BancGroup,Giant Holdings, Inc.

On October 1, 2015, weFebruary 23, 2017, the Company completed ourits acquisition of Florida Business BancGroup,Giant Holdings, Inc. (“FBBI”GHI”), parent company of Bay CitiesLandmark Bank, N.A. (“Bay Cities”Landmark”). We, pursuant to a previously announced definitive agreement and plan of merger whereby GHI merged with and into HBI and, immediately thereafter, Landmark merged with and into Centennial. The Company paid a purchase price to the FBBIGHI shareholders of $104.1approximately $96.0 million for the FBBIGHI acquisition. Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of FBBIGHI received 4,159,7082,738,038 shares (split adjusted) of ourits common stock valued at approximately $83.8$77.5 million as of October 1, 2015,February 23, 2017, plus approximately $20.3$18.5 million in cash in exchange for all outstanding shares of FBBIGHI common stock. A portion of the cash consideration, $2.0 million, has been placed into escrow, and FBBI shareholders will have a contingent right to receive their pro-rata portions of such amount. The amount, if any, of such escrowed funds to be released to FBBI shareholders will depend upon the amount of losses that we incur in the two years following the completion of the merger related to two class action lawsuits that are pending against Bay Cities.

FBBIGHI formerly operated six branch locations and a loan production office in the Tampa Bay area and in Sarasota, Florida. Including the effects of any purchase accounting adjustments, as of October 1, 2015, FBBI had approximately $564.5 million in total assets, $408.3 million in loans after $14.1 million of loan discounts, and $472.0 million in deposits.

See Note 2 “Business Combinations” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for an additional discussion regarding the acquisition of FBBI.

Acquisition of Pool of National Commercial Real Estate Loans

On April 1, 2015, our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Centennial, acquired a pool of national commercial real estate loans from AM PR LLC, an affiliate of J.C. Flowers & Co., totaling approximately $289.1 million for a purchase price of 99% of the total principal value of the acquired loans. The acquired loans were originated by the former Doral Bank within its Doral Property Finance portfolio and were transferred to the Seller by Banco Popular of Puerto Rico (“Popular”) upon its acquisition of the assets and liabilities of Doral Bank from the FDIC, as receiver for the failed Doral Bank. This pool of loans is now housed in a division of Centennial known as the Centennial Commercial Finance Group (“Centennial CFG”). Centennial CFG is responsible for servicing the acquired loan pool and originating new loan production.

In connection with this acquisition of loans, we opened a loan production office on April 23, 2015 in New York City. Through the loan production office, Centennial CFG is building out a national lending platform focusing on commercial real estate plus commercial and industrial loans. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Centennial CFG had $891.3 million and $715.7 million in total loans net of discount, respectively. Centennial CFG currently anticipates building this loan portfolio to approximately $1.1 billion by the end of 2016. During 2016, we have plans to open a deposit-only branch location in New York City.

Acquisition of Doral Bank’sFt. Lauderdale, Florida Panhandle operations

On February 27, 2015, our bank subsidiary, Centennial, acquired all the deposits and substantially all the assets of Doral Florida through an alliance agreement with Popular who was the successful lead bidder with the FDIC on the failed Doral Bank of San Juan, Puerto Rico.area. Including the effects of the purchase accounting adjustments, theas of acquisition provided us withdate, GHI had approximately $398.1 million in total assets, $327.8 million in loans of approximately $37.9after $8.1 million net of loan discounts, deposits of approximately $467.6and $304.0 million plus a $428.2 million cash settlement to balance the transaction. There is no loss-share with the FDIC in the acquired assets.

Prior to the acquisition, Doral Florida operated five branch locations in Panama City, Panama City Beach and Pensacola, Florida plus a loan production office in Tallahassee, Florida. At the time of acquisition, Centennial operated 29 branch locations in the Florida Panhandle. As a result, we closed all five branch locations during the July 2015 systems conversion and returned the facilities back to the FDIC.

See Note 2 “Business Combinations” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for an additional discussion regarding the acquisition of Doral Florida.deposits.

Acquisition of Broward Financial Holdings, Inc.The Bank of Commerce

On October 23, 2014, weFebruary 28, 2017, the Company completed ourits previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Broward FinancialThe Bank of Commerce, a Florida state-chartered bank that operated in the Sarasota, Florida area (“BOC”), pursuant to an acquisition agreement, dated December 1, 2016, by and between the Company and Bank of Commerce Holdings, Inc. (“Broward”BCHI”), parent company of Broward Bank,BOC. The Company merged BOC with and merged Broward Bank into Centennial Bank. At acquisition, we agreed to pay the Broward shareholders at an undetermined date up to approximately $751,000 in additional consideration. The amount and timingeffective as of the additional payment, if any,close of business on February 28, 2017.

The acquisition of BOC was contingent upon future payments received or losses incurred by Centennial Bank from certain current Broward Bank loans. During the first quarter of 2016, we reached an agreementconducted in accordance with the Broward shareholders and determined no additional consideration need be paid.

See Note 2 “Business Combinations” inprovisions of Section 363 of the NotesUnited States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) pursuant to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-Ka voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code filed by BCHI with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the year endedMiddle District of Florida (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The sale of BOC by BCHI was subject to certain bidding procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court. On November 14, 2016, the Company submitted an initial bid to purchase the outstanding shares of BOC in accordance with the bidding procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court. An auction was subsequently conducted on November 16, 2016, and the Company was deemed to be the successful bidder. The Bankruptcy Court entered a final order on December 31, 2015 for an additional discussion regarding9, 2016 approving the sale of BOC to the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the acquisition agreement.

Under the terms of Broward.

FDIC Indemnification Asset

In conjunction withthe acquisition agreement, the Company paid an aggregate of approximately $4.2 million in cash for the acquisition, which included the purchase of all outstanding shares of BOC common stock, the discounted purchase of certain FDIC-assisted transactions, we entered into loss share agreements with the FDIC. These agreements cover realized losses on loans, foreclosed real estate and certain other assets. These loss share assets are measured separatelysubordinated debentures issued by BOC from the loan portfolios because they are not contractually embedded in the loans and are not transferable with the loans should we choose to dispose of them. Fair values at the acquisition dates were estimated based on projected cash flows available for loss-share based on the credit adjustments estimated for each loan pool and the loss share percentages. The loss share assets are also separately measured from the related loans and foreclosed real estate and recorded as FDIC indemnification assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reimbursements received from the FDIC for actual incurred losses subsequent to the acquisition date, will reduce the loss share assets. Reductions to expected credit losses, to the extent such reductions to expected credit losses are the result of an improvement to the actual or expected cash flows from the covered assets, also reduce the loss share assets. Increases in expected credit losses will require an increase to the allowance for loan losses and a corresponding increase to the loss share assets.

Table 4 summarizes the activity in our FDIC indemnification asset during the periods indicated:

FDIC-Assisted Acquisitions – True-up

Our purchase and assumption agreements in connection with certain of our FDIC-assisted acquisitions allow the FDIC to recover a portionexisting holders of the loss share funds previously paid out under the indemnification agreements in the event losses failsubordinated debentures, and an expense reimbursement to reach the expected loss under a claw back provision. Should the markets associated with any of the banks we acquired through FDIC-assisted transactions perform better than initially projected, the Bank is required to pay this clawback (or “true-up”) payment to the FDIC on a specified date following the tenth anniversary of such acquisition (the “True-Up Measurement Date”).

Specifically,BCHI for approved administrative claims in connection with the Old Southern and Key West acquisitions, such “true-up” payments would be equal to 50%bankruptcy proceeding.

BOC formerly operated three branch locations in the Sarasota, Florida area. Including the effects of the excess, if any,purchase accounting adjustments, as of (i) 20% of a stated threshold of $110.0acquisition date, BOC had approximately $178.1 million in the case of Old Southern and $23.0total assets, $118.5 million in the caseloans after $5.8 million of Key West, less (ii) the sum of (A) 25% of the asset premium (discount) plus (B) 25% of the Cumulative Shared Loss Payments (defined as the aggregate of all of the payments made or payable to Centennial Bank minus the aggregate of all of the payments made or payable to the FDIC) plus (C) the Period Servicing Amounts for any twelve-month period prior toloan discounts, and ending on the True-Up Measurement Date (defined as the product of the simple average of the principal amount of shared loss loans and shared loss assets (other than shared loss securities) at the beginning and end of such period times 1%).

In connection with the Coastal-Bayside, Wakulla and Gulf State acquisitions, the “true-up” payments would be equal to 50% of the excess, if any, of (i) 20% of an intrinsic loss estimate of $121.0$139.8 million in the casedeposits.

Termination of Coastal, $24.0 million in the case of Bayside, $73.0 million in the case of Wakulla and $35.0 million in the case of Gulf State, less (ii) the sum of (A) 20% of the net loss amount (the sum of all losses less the sum of all recoveries on covered assets) plus (B) 25% of the asset premium (discount) plus (C) 3.5% of the total loans subject to loss-sharing under the loss-sharing agreements as specified in the schedules to the agreements.Remaining Loss-Share Agreements

The amount of FDIC-assisted acquisitions true-up accrued at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $11.4 million.

Effective July 27, 2016, we reached an agreement terminating our remaining loss-share agreements with the FDIC. Under the terms of the agreement, Centennial made a net payment of $6.6 million to the FDIC as consideration for the early termination of the loss share agreements, and all rights and obligations of Centennial and the FDIC under the loss share agreements, including the clawback provisions and the settlement of loss share and expense reimbursement claims, have been resolved and terminated. As of June 30, 2016, we had an indemnification asset of $8.1 million remaining for the acquired loss-share loans. This transaction with the FDIC createscreated aone-time acceleration of the indemnification asset plus the negotiated settlement for thetrue-up liability. This transaction will create liability, and resulted in a negative $3.9$3.8 millionpre-tax financial impact to the third quarter of 2016. However, itIt has and will create a positive financial impact to earnings of approximately $1.5 million annually on apre-tax basis through the year 2020 as a result of theone-time acceleration of the indemnification asset amortization.

Future Acquisitions

In our continuing evaluation of our growth plans, we believe properly priced bank acquisitions can complement our organic growth andde novo branching growth strategies. In the near term, our principal acquisition focus will be to continue to expand our presence in Arkansas, Florida and Alabama and into other contiguous markets through pursuing bothnon-FDIC-assisted and FDIC-assisted bank acquisitions. However, as financial opportunities in other market areas arise, we may expand into those areas.

On March 27, 2017, the Company and Centennial entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger with Stonegate Bank (“Stonegate”). The merger agreement provides that Stonegate will merge with and into Centennial (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, shareholders of Stonegate will receive, in the aggregate, proceeds from the transaction of approximately $749.8 million, consisting of $50.0 million in cash and $699.7 million of HBI common stock. In addition, the holders of outstanding stock options of Stonegate will receive approximately $28.6 million in cash in connection with the cancellation of their options immediately before the Merger, for a total transaction value of approximately $778.4 million. The number of shares of HBI common stock to be issued to Stonegate shareholders will be determined based on the volume-weighted average closing price per share of HBI common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the closing date (the “Average Closing Price”). In addition, if the Average Closing Price of HBI common stock as of the closing date is equal to $35.19 or greater or $22.52 or less, then the Average Closing Price will be fixed at $35.19 or $22.52, respectively. The acquisition is expected to close early in the fourth quarter of 2017, and is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company and Stonegate, regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions set forth in the agreement

As of June 30, 2017, Stonegate had approximately $3.13 billion in total assets, $2.44 billion in loans and $2.62 billion in customer deposits. Stonegate is conducting banking business from 24 locations in key Florida markets with significant presence in Broward and Sarasota counties.

We will continue evaluating all types of potential bank acquisitions to determine what is in the best interest of our Company. Our goal in making these decisions is to maximize the return to our investors.

Branches

As opportunities arise, we will continue to open new (commonly referred to asde novo) branches in our current markets and in other attractive market areas. During the thirdsecond quarter of 2016, we have plans to open2017, the Company opened a deposit-only branch location in New York City.Clearwater, Florida and a loan production office in Los Angeles under the management of Centennial CFG.

During 2014, we initiated a branch efficiency study. Since that time, we have gathered data and evaluated over 40 branch locations across our footprint. The branch efficiency study considers many variables, such as proximity to other branches, deposits, transactions, market share and profitability. As a result of the study, we closed two Arkansas and two Florida locationsour continued focus on efficiency, during the first quarter of 2016. During the second quarter of 2016, wethe Company closed one branch in Sarasota, Florida and sold our Clermont, Florida location for a gain of $738,000.two branches in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. During the remainder of 2016,2017, we have plans to close one Arkansas location and may announce additional strategic consolidations where it improves efficiency in certain markets.

As of June 30, 2016,2017, we had 7776 branches in Arkansas, 5865 branches in Florida, 6 branches in Alabama and a loan production officeone branch in New York City.

Results of Operations

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 20162017 and 20152016

Our net income increased $9.6$6.6 million, or 28.3%15.1%, to $43.5$50.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016,2017, from $33.9$43.5 million for the same period in 2015.2016. On a diluted earnings per share basis, our earnings were $0.31$0.35 per share and $0.25$0.31 per share (split adjusted) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Excluding the $789,000 of merger expenses, net income was $50.7 million, and 2015, respectively.diluted earnings per share was $0.35 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $9.6$7.2 million increase in net income, excluding merger expenses, is primarily associated with additional net interest income largely resulting from our acquisitions and our organic loan growth plus a decrease in provision for loan losses in second quarter of 2017, growth innon-interest income and the reduced amortization of the indemnification asset when compared to the same period in 2015.2016. These improvements were partially offset by a slight increase in provision for loan losses in second quarter of 2016 and a modestan increase in the costs associated with the asset growth plus an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of $300 million of subordinated notes during the second quarter of 2017 when compared to the same period in 2015.2016.

Our net income increased $19.9$12.0 million, or 30.6%14.1%, to $84.9$97.0 million for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2016,2017, from $65.0$84.9 million for the same period in 2015.2016. On a diluted earnings per share basis, our earnings were $0.68 per share and $0.60 per share and $0.48 per share (split adjusted) for thesix-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Excluding the $3.8 million of gain on acquisition and 2015, respectively.$7.5 million of merger expenses, net income was $98.1 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.68 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $19.9$13.1 million increase in net income, excluding gain on acquisitions and merger expenses, is primarily associated with additional net interest income largely resulting from our acquisitions and our organic loan growth plus a decrease in provision for loan losses in first six months of 2017, growth innon-interest income and the reduced amortization of the indemnification asset when compared to the same period in 2015.2016. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in provision for loan losses during the first six months of 2016 and a modest increase in the costs associated with the asset growth plus an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of $300 million of subordinated notes during the second quarter of 2017 when compared to the same period in 2015.2016.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, our principal source of earnings, is the difference between the interest income generated by earning assets and the total interest cost of the deposits and borrowings obtained to fund those assets. Factors affecting the level of net interest income include the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, yields earned on loans and investments, rates paid on deposits and other borrowings, the level ofnon-performing loans and the amount ofnon-interest-bearing liabilities supporting earning assets. Net interest income is analyzed in the discussion and tables below on a fully taxable equivalent basis. The adjustment to convert certain income to a fully taxable equivalent basis consists of dividingtax-exempt income by one minus the combined federal and state income tax rate (39.225% for the three-monththree andsix-month periods ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015)2016).

The Federal Reserve Board sets various benchmark rates, including the Federal Funds rate, and thereby influences the general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by financial institutions. The Federal Funds target rate, which is the cost to banks of immediately available overnight funds, was lowered on December 16, 2008 to a historic low of 0.25% to 0%, where it remained until December 16, 2015, when the target rate was increased slightly to 0.50% to 0.25%. Since December 31, 2016, the Federal Funds target rate has increased 75 basis points and is currently at 1.25% to 1.00%.

Our GAAP net interest margin decreased from 5.00%4.83% for the three-month period ended June 30, 20152016 to 4.83%4.50% for thethree-month period ended June 30, 2016.2017. The yield on loans was 5.81%5.78% and 6.01%5.81% for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. For both the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, we recognized $11.0 million in total net accretion for acquired loans and deposits. The non-GAAP margin excluding accretion income was, relatively flat at 4.24% and 4.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, the non-GAAP yield on loans excluding accretion income was also relatively flat at 5.09% and 5.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Consequently, with a growth of the average loan balance of $1.46 billion we experienced a decline in the GAAP yield on loans and net interest margin because the organic loan growth was approximately at our lower non-GAAP loan yields.

Our GAAP net interest margin decreased from 4.97% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to 4.82% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $21.7$8.5 million and $21.3$11.0 million, respectively, in total net accretion for acquired loans and deposits. Thenon-GAAP margin excluding accretion income was flat at4.11% and 4.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Additionally, thenon-GAAP yield on loans excluding accretion income was 5.28% and 5.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The net interest margin was negatively impacted by our April 2017 issuance of $300 million of 5.625%fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, which added approximately $4.3 million of interest expense when compared to the same quarter in 2016, and by our strategic decision to keep excess cash liquidity on the books during the second quarter of 2017.

Our GAAP net interest margin decreased from 4.82% for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2016 to 4.60% for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2017. The yield on loans was 5.72% and 5.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $16.1 million and $21.7 million, respectively, in total net accretion for acquired loans and deposits. Thenon-GAAP margin excluding accretion income was 4.21% and 4.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and 2015.respectively. Additionally, thenon-GAAP yield on loans excluding accretion income was also relatively flat at 5.08%5.24% and 5.06%5.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively. Consequently, with a growth of the average loan balance of $1.56 billion we experienced a decline in the GAAP yield on loans andThe net interest margin becausewas negatively impacted by our April 2017 issuance of $300 million of 5.625%fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, which added approximately $4.3 million of interest expense when compared to the organic loan growth was approximately atsame period in 2016, and by our lower non-GAAP loan yields.strategic decision to keep excess cash liquidity on the books during the first six months of 2017.    

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $15.7$6.3 million, or 18.0%6.2%, to $103.0$109.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016,2017, from $87.3$103.0 million for the same period in 2015.2016. This increase in net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 20162017 was the result of a $14.4 million increase in interest income offset by an $18.3$8.1 million increase in interest expense. The $14.4 million increase in interest income was primarily the result of a higher level of earning assets combined with higher yields on our interest earning assets, primarily taxable investment securities. The higher level of earning assets resulted in an increase in interest income of approximately $13.3 million. The rising yield on our interest earning assets, primarily taxable investment securities, offset by a $2.5 million reduction in loan accretion income resulted in an approximately $1.1 million increase in interest income. The $8.1 million increase in interest expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, is primarily the result of an increase in interest bearing liabilities repricing in a rising interest rate environment combined with an increase in the higher level of our interest bearing liabilities. The repricing of our interest bearing liabilities in a rising interest rate environment resulted in an approximately $4.6 million increase in interest expense. The higher level of our interest bearing liabilities resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $3.5 million.

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $13.1 million, or 6.5%, to $216.2 million for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2017, from $203.0 million for the same period in 2016. This increase in net interest income for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2017 was the result of a $23.7 million increase in interest income offset by a $2.6$10.5 million increase in interest expense. The $18.3$23.7 million increase in interest income was primarily the result of a higher level of earning assets offset by lower yields on our loans. The higher level ofinterest earning assets, resulted in an increase in interest income of approximately $21.7 million. The lower yield on our loans resulted in an approximately $3.4 million decrease in interest income. The $2.6 million increase in interest expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, is primarily the result of an increase in higher level of our interest bearing liabilities combined with our interest bearing liabilities repricing in a slightly higher interest rate environment. The higher level of our interest bearing liabilities resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.7 million. The repricing of our interest bearing liabilities in a slightly higher interest rate environment resulted in an approximately $928,000 increase in interest expense.

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $34.8 million, or 20.7%, to $203.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, from $168.3 million for the same period in 2015. This increase in net interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 was the result of a $39.8 million increase in interest income offset by a $5.0 million increase in interest expense. The $39.8 million increase in interest income was primarily the result of a higher level of earning assets offset by lower yieldsspecifically on our loans. The higher level of earning assets resulted in an increase in interest income of approximately $46.3$25.2 million. The lower yield, on our loansprimarily caused by a $5.6 million reduction in loan accretion income, resulted in an approximately $6.5$1.5 million decrease in interest income. The $5.0$10.5 million increase in interest expense for thesix-month period ended June 30, 2016,2017, is primarily the result of an increase in interest bearing liabilities repricing in a rising interest rate environment combined with an increase in the higher level of our interest bearing liabilities combined withliabilities. The repricing of our interest bearing liabilities repricing in a slightly higherrising interest rate environment.environment resulted in an approximately $7.1 million increase in interest expense. The higher level of our interest bearing liabilities resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $3.5$3.4 million. The repricing of our interest bearing liabilities in a slightly higher interest rate environment resulted in approximately $1.5 million increase in interest expense.

Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 4.83% and 4.82% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to 5.00% and 4.97% for the same period in 2015.

Table 74 shows, for each major category of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the average amount outstanding, the interest income or expense on that amount and the average rate earned or expensed for the three andsix-month periods ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. The table also shows the average rate earned on all earning assets, the average rate expensed on all interest-bearing liabilities, the net interest spread and the net interest margin for the same periods. The analysis is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis.Non-accrual loans were included in average loans for the purpose of calculating the rate earned on total loans.

Provision for Loan Losses

Our management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by applying the provisions of FASB ASC310-10-35. Specific allocations are determined for loans considered to be impaired and loss factors are assigned to the remainder of the loan portfolio to determine an appropriate level in the allowance for loan losses. The allowance is increased, as necessary, by making a provision for loan losses. The specific allocations for impaired loans are assigned based on an estimated net realizable value after a thorough review of the credit relationship. The potential loss factors associated with the remainder of the loan portfolio are based on an internal net loss experience, as well as management’s review of trends within the portfolio and related industries.

While general economic trends have improved recently, we cannot be certain that the current economic conditions will considerably improve in the near future. Recent and ongoing events at the national and international levels can create uncertainty in the financial markets. Despite these economic uncertainties, we continue to follow our historically conservative procedures for lending and evaluating the provision and allowance for loan losses. Our practice continues to be primarily traditional real estate lending with strongloan-to-value ratios.

Generally, commercial, commercial real estate, and residential real estate loans are assigned a level of risk at origination. Thereafter, these loans are reviewed on a regular basis. The periodic reviews generally include loan payment and collateral status, the borrowers’ financial data, and key ratios such as cash flows, operating income, liquidity, and leverage. A material change in the borrower’s credit analysis can result in an increase or decrease in the loan’s assigned risk grade. Aggregate dollar volume by risk grade is monitored on anon-going basis.

Our management reviews certain key loan quality indicators on a monthly basis, including current economic conditions, delinquency trends and ratios, portfolio mix changes, and other information management deems necessary. This review process provides a degree of objective measurement that is used in conjunction with periodic internal evaluations. To the extent that this review process yields differences between estimated and actual observed losses, adjustments are made to the loss factors used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses.

Our Company is primarily a real estate lender in the markets we serve. As such, we are subject to declines in asset quality when real estate prices fall. The recession in the latter years of the last decade harshly impacted the real estate market in Florida. The economic conditions particularly in our Florida markets have improved recently, although not topre-recession levels. Our Arkansas markets’ economies have been fairly stable over the past several years with no boom or bust. As a result, the Arkansas economy fared better with its real estate values during this time period.

The provision for loan losses represents management’s determination of the amount necessary to be charged against the current period’s earnings, to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that is considered adequate in relation to the estimated risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

There was zero$387,000 and $80,000$5.7 million of provision for covered loansloan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively. There was zero and $1.0 million of provision for covered loans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The provision for loan losses for 2015 is a result of the quarterly impairment testing on the estimated cash flows of our FDIC loss-share loans which noted a slight decline in asset quality in several of our covered loan pools.

There was $5.7 million and $11.4 million of provision for non-covered loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There was $5.3 million and $8.2 million of provision for non-covered loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

We experienced a $391,000 increase$5.3 million decrease in the provision for loan losses for non-covered loans during the second quarter of 20162017 versus the second quarter of 2015.2016. This $391,000 increase$5.3 million decrease is primarily a result of additionalreduced provisioning from higherlower net charge-offs, offset byimproved asset quality and lower organic loan growth versus the second quarter of 2015.2016.

There was $4.3 million and $11.4 million of provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We experienced a $3.2$7.1 million increasedecrease in the provision for loan losses for non-covered loans during the first six months of 20162017 versus the first six months of 2015.2016. This $3.2$7.1 million increasedecrease is primarily a result of additionalreduced provisioning from higherlower net charge-offs, improved asset quality and higherlower organic loan growth versus the first six months of 2015.2016.

Based upon current accounting guidance, the allowance for loan losses is not carried over in an acquisition. As a result, none of the acquired loans had any allocation of the allowance for loan losses at merger date. This is the result of all purchased loans acquired being recorded at fair value in accordance with the fair value methodology prescribed in ASC Topic 820. However, as the acquired loans payoff or renew and the acquired footprint originates new loan production, it is necessary to establish an allowance which represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb credit losses. The allowance for loan loss methodology for all originated loans as disclosed in Note 1 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form10-K was used for these loans. Our current or historical provision levels should not be relied upon as a predictor or indicator of future levels going forward.

Non-Interest Income

Additional details for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 on some of the more significant changes are as follows:

 

The $1.5 million$608,000 increase in other service charges and fees is primarily from our 2015first quarter 2017 acquisitions plus additional loan payoff fees generated by Centennial CFG.

 

The $827,000$247,000 decrease in trust fees is primarily associated with $865,000 in 12B-1 trust fees during the second quarter of 2015, of which the Company anticipates only $77,000 will be received on a recurring basis.

The $526,000 increase in mortgage lending income is from the additional lending volume from our 2015 acquisitions combined with organic loan growth. We hired a mortgage lending president during 2014 to oversee this product offering. This additional management position is responsible for improved pricing and efficiencies which are ultimately generating more revenue from the organic growth.

The $300,000 increase in dividends from FHLB, FRB, Bankers’ bank &Bank and other is primarily associatedthe result of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (“FAST”) Act of 2015, which applies to banks over $10 billion. The FAST Act of 2015 pertains to the dividend paid on our Federal Reserve Bank stock and is limited to the lesser of the yield on the10-year Treasury note or 6% for those banks with additional dividends from the FHLB. We have been increasing our use of FHLB borrowings, which has caused us to increase our ownership in the FHLB stock, plus the FHLB has been increasing the rate on their cash dividend.assets greater than $10 billion.

The $819,000$1.3 million increase in gain (loss) on sale of branches, equipment and other assets,OREO, net, is primarily associated with a gainrelated to realizing gains on the sale of our Clermont, Florida branch location and a gain on the sale of a piece of software for $738,000 and $102,000, respectively,from OREO properties during the second quarter of 2016.

The $678,000 decrease in gain (loss) on OREO is primarily related to2017 versus the revaluation of seven OREO properties during the second quarter of 2016.

 

The $1.8 million decrease$365,000 increase in gain (loss) on securities, net, is a result of a strategic decision to recognize the long-term capital gains on sales of investment securities when compared to the same period in 2016.

The $410,000 increase in FDIC indemnification accretion/amortization, net, is primarily associated with the conclusiona result of the five-year covered loan loss-share agreements plus a lackbuy-out of recent additional credit improvements in the covered loanFDIC loss share portfolio which has not created additional FDIC indemnification asset amortization. For further discussion and analysis, referenceduring the “Credit Improvement in Purchased Credit Impaired Loan Pools” section in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Other income for the secondthird quarter of 2016 includes loan recoveries of $241,000 on our FDIC covered transactions and $925,000 on other historical losses.2016.

Additional details for the six months ended June 30, 20162017 on some of the more significant changes are as follows:

The $606,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts primarily results from an increase in overdraft fees from additional volume from our 2015 acquisitions.

 

The $2.4 million increase in other service charges and fees is primarily from our 2015 acquisitionfirst quarter 2017 acquisitions plus additional loan payoff fees generated by Centennial CFG.

The $855,000 decreaseCFG and approximately $615,000 of MasterCard incentive income received in trust fees is primarily associated with $865,000 in 12B-1 trust fees during the second quarter of 2015, of which the Company anticipates only $77,000 will be received on a recurring basis.

The $1.5 million increase in mortgage lending income is from the additional lending volume from our 2015 acquisitions combined with organic loan growth. We hired a mortgage lending president during 2014 to oversee this product offering. This additional management position is responsible for improved pricing and efficiencies which are ultimately generating more revenue from the organic growth.

The $505,000 increase in dividends from FHLB, FRB, Bankers’ bank & other is primarily associated with additional dividends from the FHLB. We have been increasing our use of FHLB borrowings, which has caused us to increase our ownership in the FHLB stock, plus the FHLB has been increasing the rate on their cash dividend.

The $758,000 increase in gain (loss) on sale of branches, equipment and other assets, net is primarily associated with a gain on the sale of our Clermont, Florida branch location and a gain on the sale of a piece of software for $738,000 and $102,000, respectively, during the second quarter of 2016 offset by a $55,000 loss on sale of a vacant property from closed branches during the first quarter of 2016.2017.

 

The $1.1$1.4 million decreaseincrease in gain (loss) on OREO is primarily related to realizing gains on sale from OREO properties during the first six months of 2017 versus the revaluation of seven OREO properties during the second quarterfirst six months of 2016 versus realizing a gain on sale from an OREO properties acquired during our historical acquisitions in the first quarter of 2015.2016.

Other income includes loan recoveries of $591,000 on our FDIC covered transactions, $244,000 on other purchased loans and $925,000 on other historical losses.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense primarily consists of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, and other expenses such as advertising, merger and acquisition expenses, amortization of intangibles, electronic banking expense, FDIC and state assessment, insurance, legal and accounting fees and other professional fees.

Non-Covered Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originatenon-farm andnon-residential loans (primarily secured by commercial real estate), construction/land development loans, and agricultural loans, which are generally secured by real estate located in our market areas. Our commercial mortgage loans are generally collateralized by first liens on real estate and amortized over a 15 to 25 year period with balloon payments due at the end of one to five years. These loans are generally underwritten by assessing cash flow (debt service coverage), primary and secondary source of repayment, the financial strength of any guarantor, the strength of the tenant (if any), the borrower’s liquidity and leverage, management experience, ownership structure, economic conditions and industry specific trends and collateral. Generally, we will loan up to 85% of the value of improved property, 65% of the value of raw land and 75% of the value of land to be acquired and developed. A first lien on the property and assignment of lease is required if the collateral is rental property, with second lien positions considered on acase-by-case basis.

Non-Covered Commercial and Industrial Loans. Commercial and industrial loans are made for a variety of business purposes, including working capital, inventory, equipment and capital expansion. The terms for commercial loans are generally one to seven years. Commercial loan applications must be supported by current financial information on the borrower and, where appropriate, by adequate collateral. Commercial loans are generally underwritten by addressing cash flow (debt service coverage), primary and secondary sources of repayment, the financial strength of any guarantor, the borrower’s liquidity and leverage, management experience, ownership structure, economic conditions and industry specific trends and collateral. The loan to value ratio depends on the type of collateral. Generally speaking, accounts receivable are financed at between 50% and 80% of accounts receivable less than 60 days past due. Inventory financing will range between 50% and 60% (with no work in process) depending on the borrower and nature of inventory. We require a first lien position for those loans.

Non-Performing Assets Not Covered by Loss Share

We classify our non-covered problem loans into three categories: past due loans, special mention loans and classified loans (accruing andnon-accruing).

When management determines that a loan is no longer performing, and that collection of interest appears doubtful, the loan is placed onnon-accrual status. Loans that are 90 days past due are placed onnon-accrual status unless they are adequately secured and there is reasonable assurance of full collection of both principal and interest. Our management closely monitors all loans that are contractually 90 days past due, treated as “special mention” or otherwise classified or onnon-accrual status.

We have non-coveredpurchased loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality in our June 30, 20162017 financial statements as a result of our historical acquisitions plus the migration of loans covered by FDIC loss share to loans not covered by loss share status.acquisitions. The credit metrics most heavily impacted by our acquisitions of acquired non-covered loans with deteriorated credit quality were the following credit quality indicators listed in Table 139 below:

 

Allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans tonon-performing non-covered loans;

 

Non-performing non-covered loans to total non-covered loans; and

 

Non-performing non-covered assets to total non-covered assets.

On the date of acquisition, acquired credit-impaired loans are initially recognized at fair value, which incorporates the present value of amounts estimated to be collectible. As a result of the application of this accounting methodology, certain credit-related ratios, including those referenced above, may not necessarily be directly comparable with periods prior to the acquisition of the credit-impaired non-covered loans and non-covered non-performing assets, or comparable with other institutions.

Table 139 sets forth information with respect to ournon-performing non-covered assets as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016. As of these dates, allnon-performing non-covered restructured loans are included innon-accrual non-covered loans.

When loans are classified asnon-accrual, the accrued interest is charged off and no further interest is accrued, unless the credit characteristics of the loan improve. If a loan is determined by management to be uncollectible, the portion of the loan determined to be uncollectible is then charged to the allowance for loan losses.

Totalnon-performing non-covered loans were $56.0$46.9 million as of June 30, 2016,2017, compared to $60.2$63.1 million as of December 31, 20152016, for a decrease of $4.2$16.3 million. Of the $4.2The $16.3 million decrease innon-performing loans $1.0 is fromthe result of a $6.5 million decrease innon-performing loans in our Arkansas market, $3.5franchise, a $9.4 million from a decrease innon-performing loans in our Florida market offset byfranchise and a $265,000 increase$350,000 decrease innon-performing loans in our Alabama market. franchise.Non-performing loans at June 30, 20162017 are $27.3$22.0 million, $28.3$24.6 million, $397,000$306,000 and zero in the Arkansas, Florida, Alabama and Centennial CFG markets,franchises, respectively.

Although the current state of the real estate market has improved, uncertainties still present in the economy may continue to increase our level ofnon-performing non-covered loans. While we believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate and our purchased loans are adequately discounted at June 30, 2016,2017, as additional facts become known about relevant internal and external factors that affect loan collectability and our assumptions, it may result in us making additions to the provision for loan losses during 2016.2017. Our current or historical provision levels should not be relied upon as a predictor or indicator of future levels going forward.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) generally occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near term. As a result, the Bank will work with the borrower to prevent further difficulties, and ultimately to improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan. In those circumstances it may be beneficial to restructure the terms of a loan and work with the borrower for the benefit of both parties, versus forcing the property into foreclosure and having to dispose of it in an unfavorable and depressed real estate market. When we have modified the terms of a loan, we usually either reduce the monthly payment and/or interest rate for generally about three to twelve months. For our TDRs that accrue interest at the time the loan is restructured, it would be a rare exception to havecharged-off any portion of the loan. Onlynon-performing restructured loans are included in ournon-performing non-covered loans. As of June 30, 2016,2017, we had $16.0$21.2 million of non-covered restructured loans that are in compliance with the modified terms and are not reported as past due ornon-accrual in Table 16.9. Our Florida marketfranchise contains $14.1$18.3 million and our Arkansas marketfranchise contains $1.9$2.9 million of these non-covered restructured loans.

A loan modification that might not otherwise be considered may be granted resulting in classification as a TDR. These loans can involve loans remaining onnon-accrual, moving tonon-accrual, or continuing on an accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. Generally, anon-accrual loan that is restructured remains onnon-accrual for a period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms. However, performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are considered in assessing whether the borrower can pay under the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to an accrual status after a shorter performance period. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan will remain in anon-accrual status.

The majority of the Bank’s loan modifications relate to commercial lending and involve reducing the interest rate, changing from a principal and interest payment to interest-only, a lengthening of the amortization period, or a combination of some or all of the three. In addition, it is common for the Bank to seek additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying a loan. At June 30, 2016,2017, the amount of TDRs was $17.5$22.3 million, a decrease of 4.1%12.6% from $18.2$25.5 million at December 31, 2015.2016. As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015, 91.4%2016, 95.1% and 81.2%88.0%, respectively, of all restructured loans were performing to the terms of the restructure.

Total foreclosed assets held for sale not covered by loss share were $17.6$18.8 million as of June 30, 2016,2017, compared to $18.5$16.0 million as of December 31, 20152016 for a decreasean increase of $953,000.$2.8 million. The foreclosed assets held for sale not covered by loss share as of June 30, 20162017 are comprised of $13.4$11.5 million of assets located in Arkansas, $3.6$6.7 million of assets located in Florida, $601,000$641,000 located in Alabama and zero from Centennial CFG.

During the first six months of 2016,2017, we had two non-covered foreclosed properties with a carrying value greater than $1.0 million. One of these propertiesThe largest property is a development loan in Northwest Arkansas which has beenwas foreclosed sincein the first quarter of 2011. The carrying value was $2.0 million at June 30, 2016.2017. The remainingother property iswas a 1-4 family residentialdevelopment property in Central Arkansas and holdsFlorida acquired from BOC with a carrying value of $1.0$2.1 million at June 30, 2016.2017. The Company does not currently anticipate any additional losses on these properties. As of June 30, 2016,2017, no other foreclosed assets held for sale not covered by loss share have a carrying value greater than $1.0 million.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that we will not receive all amounts due according to the contracted terms of the loans. Impaired loans includenon-performing loans (loans past due 90 days or more andnon-accrual loans), criticized and/or classified loans with a specific allocation, loans categorized as TDRs and certain other loans identified by management that are still performing (loans included in multiple categories are only included once). As of June 30, 2016,2017, average non-covered impaired loans were $88.9$87.7 million compared to $88.1$89.6 million as of December 31, 2015.2016. As of June 30, 2016, non-covered2017, impaired loans were $85.8$78.9 million compared to $91.6$93.1 million as of December 31, 2015,2016, for a decrease of $5.8$14.3 million. This decrease is primarily associated with the decrease in loan balances with a specific allocation combined with a decrease in the level of loans categorized as TDRs.TDRs andnon-performing loans. As of June 30, 2016,2017, our Arkansas, Florida, Alabama and Centennial CFG marketsfranchises accounted for approximately $35.7$35.5 million, $49.7$43.1 million, $397,000$306,000 and zero of the non-covered impaired loans, respectively.

We evaluated loans purchased in conjunction with our historical acquisitions for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic310-30,Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. Purchased loans are considered impaired if there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and if it is probable that not all contractually required payments will be collected. Purchased credit impaired non-covered loans are not classified asnon-performing non-covered assets for the recognition of interest income as the pools are considered to be performing. However, for the purpose of calculating thenon-performing credit metrics, we have included all of the non-covered loans which are contractually 90 days past due and still accruing, including those in performing pools. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all purchased impaired loans.

All non-coveredpurchased loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality are considered impaired loans at the date of acquisition. Since the loans are accounted for on a pooled basis under ASC310-30, individual loans are not classified as impaired. Since the loans are accounted for on a pooled basis under ASC310-30, individual loans subsequently restructured within the pools are not classified as TDRs in accordance with ASC310-30-40. For non-coveredpurchased loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality that were deemed TDRs prior to our acquisition of them, these loans are also not considered TDRs as they are accounted for under ASC310-30.

As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, there was not a material amount of non-coveredpurchased loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality onnon-accrual status as a result of most of the loans being accounted for on the pool basis and the pools are considered to be performing for the accruing of interest income. Also, acquired loans contractually past due 90 days or more are accruing interest because the pools are considered to be performing for the purpose of accruing interest income.

Allowance for Loan Losses for Non-Covered Loans

Overview. The allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans is maintained at a level which our management believes is adequate to absorb all probable losses on loans in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is affected by: (i) loan charge-offs, which decrease the allowance; (ii) recoveries on loans previously charged off, which increase the allowance; and (iii) the provision of possible loan losses charged to income, which increases the allowance. In determining the provision for possible loan losses, it is necessary for our management to monitor fluctuations in the allowance resulting from actual charge-offs and recoveries and to periodically review the size and composition of the loan portfolio in light of current and anticipated economic conditions. If actual losses exceed the amount of allowance for loan losses, for non-covered loans, our earnings could be adversely affected.

As we evaluate the allowance for loan losses, for non-covered loans, we categorize it as follows: (i) specific allocations; (ii) allocations for criticized and classified assets not individually evaluated for impairment; (iii) general allocations; and (iv) miscellaneous allocations.

Specific Allocations.As a general rule, if a specific allocation is warranted, it is the result of an analysis of a previously classified credit or relationship. Typically, when it becomes evident through the payment history or a financial statement review that a loan or relationship is no longer supported by the cash flows of the asset and/or borrower and has become collateral dependent, we will use appraisals or other collateral analysis to determine if collateral impairment has occurred. The amount or likelihood of loss on this credit may not yet be evident, so acharge-off would not be prudent. However, if the analysis indicates that an impairment has occurred, then a specific allocation will be determined for this loan. If our existing appraisal is outdated or the collateral has been subject to significant market changes, we will obtain a new appraisal for this impairment analysis. The majority of our impaired loans are collateral dependent at the present time, so third-party appraisals were used to determine the necessary impairment for these loans. Cash flow available to service debt was used for the other impaired loans. This analysis is performed each quarter in connection with the preparation of the analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, for non-covered loans, and if necessary, adjustments are made to the specific allocation provided for a particular loan.

For collateral dependent loans, we do not consider an appraisal outdated simply due to the passage of time. However, if an appraisal is older than 13 months and if market or other conditions have deteriorated and we believe that the current market value of the property is not within approximately 20% of the appraised value, we will consider the appraisal outdated and order either a new appraisal or an internal validation report for the impairment analysis. The recognition of any provision or relatedcharge-off on a collateral dependent loan is either through annual credit analysis or, many times, when the relationship becomes delinquent. If the borrower is not current, we will update our credit and cash flow analysis to determine the borrower’s repayment ability. If we determine this ability does not exist and it appears that the collection of the entire principal and interest is not likely, then the loan could be placed onnon-accrual status. In any case, loans are classified asnon-accrual no later than 105 days past due. If the loan requires a quarterly impairment analysis, this analysis is completed in conjunction with the completion of the analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans.losses. Any exposure identified through the impairment analysis is shown as a specific reserve on the individual impairment. If it is determined that a new appraisal or internal validation report is required, it is ordered and will be taken into consideration during completion of the next impairment analysis.

In estimating the net realizable value of the collateral, management may deem it appropriate to discount the appraisal based on the applicable circumstances. In such case, the amount charged off may result in loan principal outstanding being below fair value as presented in the appraisal.

Between the receipt of the original appraisal and the updated appraisal, we monitor the loan’s repayment history. If the loan is $1.0 million or greater or the total loan relationship is $2.0 million or greater, our policy requires an annual credit review. Our policy requires financial statements from the borrowers and guarantors at least annually. In addition, we calculate the global repayment ability of the borrower/guarantors at least annually.

As a general rule, when it becomes evident that the full principal and accrued interest of a loan may not be collected, or by law at 105 days past due, we will reflect that loan asnon-performing. It will remainnon-performing until it performs in a manner that it is reasonable to expect that we will collect the full principal and accrued interest.

When the amount or likelihood of a loss on a loan has been determined, acharge-off should be taken in the period it is determined. If a partialcharge-off occurs, the quarterly impairment analysis will determine if the loan is still impaired, and thus continues to require a specific allocation.

Allocations for Criticized and Classified Assets not Individually Evaluated for Impairment. We establish allocations for loans rated “special mention” through “loss” in accordance with the guidelines established by the regulatory agencies. A percentage rate is applied to each loan category to determine the level of dollar allocation.

General Allocations. We establish general allocations for each major loan category. This section also includes allocations to loans, which are collectively evaluated for loss such as residential real estate, commercial real estate, consumer loans and commercial and industrial loans that fall below $2.0 million. The allocations in this section are based on a historical review of loan loss experience and past due accounts. We give consideration to trends, changes in loan mix, delinquencies, prior losses, and other related information.

Miscellaneous Allocations. Allowance allocations other than specific, classified, and general are included in our miscellaneous section.

Loans Collectively Evaluated for Impairment. Non-covered loansLoans receivable collectively evaluated for impairment increased by approximately $297.3$461.8 million from $6.28$7.08 billion at December 31, 20152016 to $6.58$7.54 billion at June 30, 2016.2017. The percentage of the allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans allocated to non-covered loans receivable collectively evaluated for impairment to the total non-covered loans collectively evaluated for impairment increaseddecreased from 0.99%1.08% at December 31, 20152016 to 1.05%1.00% at June 30, 2016.2017. This increasedecrease is primarily the result of the $446.3 million of acquired loans, net of purchase accounting discounts, from the first quarter of 2017 combined with normal changes associated with the calculation of the allocation of the allowance for loan losses and includes routine changes from the previous year end reporting period such as organic loan growth, unallocated allowance, asset quality and net charge-offs.

Charge-offs and Recoveries. Total non-covered charge-offs increaseddecreased to $4.4 million and $8.2$1.4 million for the three andmonths ended June 30, 2017, compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2016. Total charge-offs decreased to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016,2017, compared to $3.3 million and $6.5$8.3 million for the same periodsperiod in 2015.2016. Total non-coveredrecoveries increased to $845,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $710,000 for the same period in 2016. Total recoveries decreased to $709,000 and increased$1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the same periodsperiod in 2015.2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, net charge-offs were $2.8 million$673,000 for Arkansas, net charge-offs were $847,000 for Florida, and net charge-offs were zero$17,000 for Alabama and zero for Centennial CFG, and net recoveries were $130,000 for Florida, equaling a netcharge-off position of $3.7 million.$560,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2016,2017, net charge-offs were $6.0$3.7 million for Arkansas, net charge-offs were $198,000$217,000 for Florida, net charge-offs were $21,000$220,000 for Alabama and net charge-offs were zero for Centennial CFG, equaling a netcharge-off position of $6.2$4.2 million.

During While the first six months of 2016, there were $8.2 million in non-covered charge-offs and $2.1 million in non-covered recoveries. While these2017 charge-offs and recoveries consisted of many relationships, there were twono individual relationships consisting of charge-offs greater than $1.0 million.

We have not charged off an amount less than what was determined to be the fair value of the collateral as presented in the appraisal, less estimated costs to sell (for collateral dependent loans), for any period presented. Loans partiallycharged-off are placed onnon-accrual status until it is proven that the borrower’s repayment ability with respect to the remaining principal balance can be reasonably assured. This is usually established over a period of6-12 months of timely payment performance.

Table 1713 shows the allowance for loan losses, charge-offs and recoveries for non-covered loans as of and for the three andsix-month periods ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016.

Allocated Allowance for Loan Losses for Non-Covered Loans.Losses. We use a risk rating and specific reserve methodology in the calculation and allocation of our allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans.losses. While the allowance is allocated to various loan categories in assessing and evaluating the level of the allowance, the allowance is available to cover charge-offs incurred in all loan categories. Because a portion of our portfolio has not matured to the degree necessary to obtain reliable loss data from which to calculate estimated future losses, the unallocated portion of the allowance is an integral component of the total allowance. Although unassigned to a particular credit relationship or product segment, this portion of the allowance is vital to safeguard against the imprecision inherent in estimating credit losses.

The changes for the period ended June 30, 20162017 and the year ended December 31, 20152016 in the allocation of the allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans for the individual types of loans are primarily associated with changes in the ASC 310 calculations, both individual and aggregate, and changes in the ASC 450 calculations. These calculations are affected by changes in individual loan impairments, changes in asset quality, net charge-offs during the period and normal changes in the outstanding loan portfolio, as well any changes to the general allocation factors due to changes within the actual characteristics of the loan portfolio.

Table 1814 presents the allocation of allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.

Investments andInvestment Securities

Our securities portfolio is the second largest component of earning assets and provides a significant source of revenue. Securities within the portfolio are classified asheld-to-maturity,available-for-sale, or trading based on the intent and objective of the investment and the ability to hold to maturity. Fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. The estimated effective duration of our securities portfolio was 2.12.6 years as of June 30, 2016.2017.

As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016, we had $287.7$254.2 million and $309.0$284.2 million ofheld-to-maturity securities, respectively. Of the $287.7$254.2 million ofheld-to-maturity securities $7.0as of June 30, 2017, $6.2 million were invested in U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, $124.0$85.1 million were invested in mortgage-backed securities and $156.7$162.8 million were invested in state and political subdivisionssubdivisions. Of the $284.2 million ofheld-to-maturity securities as of June 30, 2016. Of the $309.0 million of held-to-maturity securities, $7.4December 31, 2016, $6.6 million were invested in U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, $134.2$107.8 million were invested in mortgage-backed securities and $167.5$169.7 million were invested in state and political subdivisions as of December 31, 2015.subdivisions.

Securitiesavailable-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as other comprehensive income. Securities that are held asavailable-for-sale are used as a part of our asset/liability management strategy. Securities that may be sold in response to interest rate changes, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital, and other similar factors are classified asavailable-for-sale.Available-for-sale securities were $1.22$1.40 billion and $1.21$1.07 billion as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, $641.62017, $763.9 million, or 52.5%54.5%, of ouravailable-for-sale securities were invested in mortgage-backed securities, compared to $565.3$579.5 million, or 46.9%54.0%, of ouravailable-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2015.2016. To reduce our income tax burden, $218.1$240.9 million, or 17.8%17.2%, of ouravailable-for-sale securities portfolio as of June 30, 2016,2017, was primarily invested intax-exempt obligations of state and political subdivisions, compared to $219.1$216.5 million, or 18.2%20.2%, of ouravailable-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2015.2016. Also, we had approximately $311.8$356.7 million, or 25.5%, invested in obligations of U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises as of June 30, 2016,2017, compared to $368.5$236.8 million, or 30.5%22.1%, of ouravailable-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2015.2016.

Certain investment securities are valued at less than their historical cost. These declines are primarily the result of the rate for these investments yielding less than current market rates. Based on evaluation of available evidence, we believe the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. It is our intent to hold these securities to recovery. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other than temporary impairment is identified.

See Note 3 “Investment Securities” in the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the carrying value and fair value of investment securities.

Deposits

Our deposits averaged $6.68$7.64 billion and $6.59$7.43 billion for the three andsix-month periods ended June 30, 2016.2017. Total deposits as of June 30, 20162017 were $6.71$7.77 billion. Excluding $443.8 million of deposits acquired through the acquisitions of GHI and BOC, total deposits as of June 30, 2017 were $7.32 billion, for an annualized increase of 8.6%11.1% from December 31, 2015.2016. Deposits are our primary source of funds. We offer a variety of products designed to attract and retain deposit customers. Those products consist of checking accounts, regular savings deposits, NOW accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Deposits are gathered from individuals, partnerships and corporations in our market areas. In addition, we obtain deposits from state and local entities and, to a lesser extent, U.S. Government and other depository institutions.

Our policy also permits the acceptance of brokered deposits. From time to time, when appropriate in order to fund strong loan demand, we accept brokered time deposits, generally in denominations of less than $250,000, from a regional brokerage firm, and other national brokerage networks. Additionally, we participate in the Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”), which provides for reciprocal(“two-way”) transactions among banks for the purpose of giving our customers the potential for FDIC insurance of up to $50.0 million. Although classified as brokered deposits for regulatory purposes, funds placed through the CDARS program are our customer relationships that management views as core funding. We also participate in theOne-Way Buy Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) service, which provides forone-way buy transactions among banks for the purpose of purchasing cost-effective floating-rate funding without collateralization or stock purchase requirements. Management believes these sources represent a reliable and cost efficient alternative funding source for the Company. However, to the extent that our condition or reputation deteriorates, or to the extent that there are significant changes in market interest rates which we do not elect to match, we may experience an outflow of brokered deposits. In that event we would be required to obtain alternate sources for funding.

Table 2015 reflects the classification of the brokered deposits as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.

The interest rates paid are competitively priced for each particular deposit product and structured to meet our funding requirements. We will continue to manage interest expense through deposit pricing. We may allow higher rate deposits to run off during periods of limited loan demand. We believe that additional funds can be attracted and deposit growth can be realized through deposit pricing if we experience increased loan demand or other liquidity needs.

The Federal Reserve Board sets various benchmark rates, including the Federal Funds rate, and thereby influences the general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by financial institutions. The Federal Funds target rate, which is the cost to banks of immediately available overnight funds, was lowered on December 16, 2008 to a historic low of 0.25% to 0%, where it remained until December 16, 2015, when the target rate was increased slightly to 0.50% to 0.25%. Since December 31, 2016, the Federal Funds target rate has increased 75 basis points and is currently at 1.25% to 1.00%.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

We enter into short-term purchases of securities under agreements to resell (resale agreements) and sales of securities under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) of substantially identical securities. The amounts advanced under resale agreements and the amounts borrowed under repurchase agreements are carried on the balance sheet at the amount advanced. Interest incurred on repurchase agreements is reported as interest expense. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $17.3increased $12.5 million, or 13.5%10.3%, from $128.4$121.3 million as of December 31, 20152016 to $111.1$133.7 million as of June 30, 2016.2017.

FHLB Borrowed Funds

Our FHLB borrowed funds were $1.38$1.10 billion and $1.41$1.31 billion at June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. During the second quarter of 2017, approximately $531.0 million of FHLB advances matured. Due to the issuance of the $300 million of subordinated notes during the second quarter of 2017, we made the strategic decision to not renew all of the matured advances. At June 30, 20162017, $200.0 million and December 31, 2015, $1.35 billion and $1.41 billion, respectively,$899.5 million of the outstanding balance were issued as short-term and long-term advances.advances, respectively. At December 31, 2016, $40.0 million and $1.27 billion of the outstanding balance were issued as short-term and long-term advances, respectively. Our remaining FHLB borrowing capacity was $808.4 million$1.12 billion and $581.9$718.2 million as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. We received additional borrowing capacity during the first quarter of 2016 as a result of our first quarter of 2016 organic loan growth. Maturities of borrowings as of June 30, 20162017 include: 2016 – $40.8 million; 2017 – $585.5$325.4 million; 2018 – $459.3$459.1 million; 2019 – $143.1 million; 2020 – $146.4 million; 2021 – zero; after 20202021$474,000.$25.4 million. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because FHLB may have the right to call or we may haveHBI the right to prepay certain obligations.

Subordinated Debentures

Subordinated debentures, which consist of subordinated debt securities and guaranteed payments on trust preferred securities, were $60.8$357.8 million as of June 30, 2016 and2017. As of December 31, 2015.2016, subordinated debentures consisted only of $60.8 million of guaranteed payments on trust preferred securities.

The trust preferred securities aretax-advantaged issues that qualify for Tier 1 capital treatment subject to certain limitations. Distributions on these securities are included in interest expense. Each of the trusts is a statutory business trust organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust securities and investing the proceeds in our subordinated debentures, the sole asset of each trust. The trust preferred securities of each trust represent preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the respective trusts and are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the subordinated debentures held by the trust. We wholly own the common securities of each trust. Each trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon our making payment on the related subordinated debentures. Our obligations under the subordinated securities and other relevant trust agreements, in aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by us of each respective trust’s obligations under the trust securities issued by each respective trust.

On April 3, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.625%Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at 99.997% of par, resulting in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and issuance costs, of approximately $297.0 million. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated debt obligations of the Company and will mature on April 15, 2027. The Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

Stockholders’ Equity

Liquidity and Capital Adequacy Requirements

Risk-Based Capital. We, as well as our bank subsidiary, are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and other discretionary actions by regulators that, if enforced, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certainoff-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators as to components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes that, as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we met all regulatory capital adequacy requirements to which we were subject.

On April 3, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of its Notes which were issued at 99.997% of par, resulting in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and issuance costs, of approximately $297.0 million. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated debt obligations of the Company and will mature on April 15, 2027. The Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

Table 2217 presents our risk-based capital ratios on a consolidated basis as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.

As of the most recent notification from regulatory agencies, our bank subsidiary was “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well-capitalized”, we, as well as our banking subsidiary, must maintain minimum common equity Tier 1 capital, leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and total risk-based capital ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that we believe have changed the bank subsidiary’s category.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, due to the application of purchase accounting from our significant number of historical acquisitions (especially Liberty), we believe certainnon-GAAP measures and ratios that exclude the impact of these items are useful to the investors and users of our financial statements to evaluate our performance, including net interest margin and the allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans to total non-covered loans.efficiency ratio.

Because of our significant number of historical acquisitions, our net interest margin and the allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans to total non-covered loans werewas impacted by accretion and amortization of the fair value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting. The accretion and amortization affect certain operating ratios as we accrete loan discounts to interest income and amortize premiums and discounts on time deposits to interest expense.

We had $1.72 billion of purchased non-covered loans, which includes $109.5 million of discount for credit losses on non-covered loans acquired, at June 30, 2016. We have $40.3 million and $69.2 million remaining of non-accretable discount for credit losses on non-covered loans acquired and accretable discount for credit losses on non-covered loans acquired, respectively, as of June 30, 2016. We had $2.10 billion of purchased non-covered loans, which includes $139.5 million of discount for credit losses on non-covered loans acquired, at December 31, 2015. For purchased credit-impaired financial assets, GAAP requires a discount embedded in the purchase price that is attributable to the expected credit losses at the date of acquisition, which is a different approach from non-purchased-credit-impaired assets. While the discount for credit losses on purchased non-covered loans is not available for credit losses on non-purchased non-covered loans, management believes it is useful information to show the same accounting as if applied to all loans, including those acquired in a business combination.

We believe thesenon-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We believe investors benefit from referring to thesenon-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing our operating results and related trends, and when planning and forecasting future periods. However, thesenon-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. In Tables 2318 through 2520 below, we have provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to thenon-GAAP financial measures and ratios, or a reconciliation of thenon-GAAP calculation of the financial measure for the periods indicated:

We had $397.8$442.0 million, $399.4$396.3 million, and $342.5$397.8 million total goodwill, core deposit intangibles and other intangible assets as of June 30, 2016,2017, December 31, 20152016 and June 30, 2015,2016, respectively. Because of our level of intangible assets and related amortization expenses, management believes diluted earnings per share excluding intangible amortization, tangible book value per share, return on average assets excluding intangible amortization, return on average tangible equity excluding intangible amortization and tangible equity to tangible assets are useful in evaluating our company. These calculations, which are similar to the GAAP calculation of diluted earnings per share, tangible book value, return on average assets, return on average equity, and equity to assets, are presented in Tables 2721 through 31,24, respectively. All previously reported share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the retroactive effect of the stock split.

The efficiency ratio is a standard measure used in the banking industry and is calculated by dividingnon-interest expense less amortization of core deposit intangibles by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis andnon-interest income. The core efficiency ratio is a meaningfulnon-GAAP measure for management, as it excludesnon-fundamental items and is calculated by dividingnon-interest expense less amortization of core deposit intangibles by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis andnon-interest income excludingnon-fundamental items such as merger expenses and/or gains and losses. In Table 25 below, we have provided a reconciliation of thenon-GAAP calculation of the financial measure for the periods indicated.

Item 3:QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Liquidity and Market Risk Management

Liquidity Management. Liquidity refers to the ability or the financial flexibility to manage future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations. Maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity allows us to have sufficient funds available for reserve requirements, customer demand for loans, withdrawal of deposit balances and maturities of deposits and other liabilities. Our primary source of liquidity at our holding company is dividends paid by our bank subsidiary. Applicable statutes and regulations impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be declared by our bank subsidiary. Further, any dividend payments are subject to the continuing ability of the bank subsidiary to maintain compliance with minimum federal regulatory capital requirements and to retain its characterization under federal regulations as a “well-capitalized” institution.

Our bank subsidiary has potential obligations resulting from the issuance of standby letters of credit and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan customers. Many of these obligations and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan customers are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements affecting our liquidity position.

Liquidity needs can be met from either assets or liabilities. On the asset side, our primary sources of liquidity include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold,available-for-sale investment securities and scheduled repayments and maturities of loans. We maintain adequate levels of cash and cash equivalents to meet ourday-to-day needs. As of June 30, 2016,2017, our cash and cash equivalents were $185.4$460.5 million, or 1.9%4.2% of total assets, compared to $255.8$216.6 million, or 2.8%2.2% of total assets, as of December 31, 2015.2016. Ouravailable-for-sale investment securities and federal funds sold were $1.22$1.40 billion and $1.07 billion as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016,2017, our investment portfolio was comprised of approximately 81.3%75.3% or $1.23$1.25 billion of securities which mature in less than five years. As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015, $1.272016, $1.40 billion and $1.25$1.07 billion, respectively, of securities were pledged as collateral for various public fund deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

On the liability side, our principal sources of liquidity are deposits, borrowed funds, and access to capital markets. Customer deposits are our largest sources of funds. As of June 30, 2016,2017, our total deposits were $6.71$7.77 billion, or 70.1%71.4% of total assets, compared to $6.44$6.94 billion, or 69.3%70.8% of total assets, as of December 31, 2015.2016. We attract our deposits primarily from individuals, business, and municipalities located in our market areas.

In the event that additional short-term liquidity is needed to temporarily satisfy our liquidity needs, we have established and currently maintain lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank (“Federal Reserve”) and Bankers’ Bank to provide short-term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchases. In addition, we maintain lines of credit with two other financial institutions.

As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we could have borrowed up to $115.7$105.8 million and $115.8$104.6 million, respectively, on a secured basis withfrom the Federal Reserve, up to $30.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, withfrom Bankers’ Bank on an unsecured basis, and up to $30.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, in the aggregate withfrom other financial institutions on an unsecured basis. The unsecured lines may be terminated by the respective institutions at any time.

The lines of credit we maintain with the FHLB can provide us with both short-term and long-term forms of liquidity on a secured basis. FHLB borrowed funds were $1.38$1.10 billion and $1.41$1.31 billion at June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. At June 30, 20162017, $200.0 million and December 31, 2015, $1.35 billion and $1.41 billion, respectively$899.5 million of the outstanding balance were issued as short-term and long-term advances.advances, respectively. At December 31, 2016, $40.0 million and $1.27 billion of the outstanding balance were issued as short-term and long-term advances, respectively. Our FHLB borrowing capacity was $808.4 million$1.12 billion and $581.9$718.2 million as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

On April 3, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of its Notes which were issued at 99.997% of par, resulting in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and issuance costs, of approximately $297.0 million. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated debt obligations of the Company and will mature on April 15, 2027. The Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our current operations.

Market Risk Management. Our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of our assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. We do not hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

Asset/Liability Management. Our management actively measures and manages interest rate risk. The asset/liability committees of the boards of directors of our holding company and bank subsidiary are also responsible for approving our asset/liability management policies, overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and earnings, and reviewing our interest rate sensitivity position.

One of the tools that our management uses to measure short-term interest rate risk is a net interest income simulation model. This analysis calculates the difference between net interest income forecasted using base market rates and using a rising and a falling interest rate scenario. The income simulation model includes various assumptions regarding there-pricing relationships for each of our products. Many of our assets are floating rate loans, which are assumed tore-price immediately, and proportional to the change in market rates, depending on their contracted index. Some loans and investments include the opportunity of prepayment (embedded options), and accordingly the simulation model uses indexes to estimate these prepayments and reinvest their proceeds at current yields. Ournon-term deposit productsre-price more slowly, usually changing less than the change in market rates and at our discretion.

This analysis indicates the impact of changes in net interest income for the given set of rate changes and assumptions. It assumes the balance sheet remains static and that its structure does not change over the course of the year. It does not account for all factors that impact this analysis, including changes by management to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes or secondary impacts such as changes to our credit risk profile as interest rates change.

Furthermore, loan prepayment rate estimates and spread relationships change regularly. Interest rate changes create changes in actual loan prepayment rates that will differ from the market estimates incorporated in this analysis. Changes that vary significantly from the assumptions may have significant effects on our net interest income.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. Our primary business is banking and the resulting earnings, primarily net interest income, are susceptible to changes in market interest rates. It is management’s goal to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risks.

A key element in the financial performance of financial institutions is the level and type of interest rate risk assumed. The single most significant measure of interest rate risk is the relationship of the repricing periods of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The more closely the repricing periods are correlated, the less interest rate risk we assume. We use repricing gap and simulation modeling as the primary methods in analyzing and managing interest rate risk.

Gap analysis attempts to capture the amounts and timing of balances exposed to changes in interest rates at a given point in time. As of June 30, 2016,2017, our gap position was asset sensitive with aone-year cumulative repricing gap as a percentage of total earning assets of 5.2%6.6%.

During this period, the amount of change our asset base realizes in relation to the total change in market interest rates is higher than that of the liability base. As a result, our net interest income will have a positive effect in an environment of modestly rising rates.

We have a portion of our securities portfolio invested in mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities are included based on their final maturity date. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Table 3226 presents a summary of the repricing schedule of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (gap) as of June 30, 2016.2017.
