NOTES TO CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
 
Note 1:  Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bank of Marin Bancorp (“Bancorp”), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Bank of Marin (the “Bank”), a California state-chartered commercial bank. References to “we,” “our,” “us” mean Bancorp and the Bank that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate and the information presented is not misleading, we suggest that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of Management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, the results of operations, changes in comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of these interim periods may not be indicative of the results for the full year or for any other period.


The NorCal Community Bancorp Trusts I and II, respectively (the "Trusts") were formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. Bancorp is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Trusts (variable interest entities), therefore the Trusts are not consolidated in our consolidated financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability on our consolidated statements of condition (See Note 6, Borrowings). Bancorp accounts for itscondition. Bancorp's investment in the securities of the Trusts is accounted for under the equity method whichand is included in interest receivable and other assets inon the consolidated statements of condition. Refer to Note 6, Borrowings, for detail on the early redemption on October 7, 2018 of one subordinated debenture due to NorCal Community Bancorp Trust I.
 
The following table shows: 1) weighted average basic shares, 2) potentially dilutive weighted average common shares related to stock options and unvested restricted stock awards, and 3) weighted average diluted shares. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted EPS are calculated using the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common shares. The number of potentially dilutive common shares included in the quarterly diluted EPS is computed using the average market prices during the three months included in the reporting period under the treasury stock method. The number of potentially dilutive common shares included in year-to-date diluted EPS is a year-to-date weighted average of potentially dilutive common shares included in each quarterly diluted EPS computation. In computing diluted EPS, we exclude anti-dilutive shares such as options whose exercise prices exceed the current common stock price, as they would not reduce EPS under the treasury method. We have two forms of outstanding common stock: common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. Holders of unvested restricted stock awards receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as common shareholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, the difference in EPS is nominal for these participating securities.

Note 2: Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards


Accounting Standards Adopted in 20182019


In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of this ASU (and all subsequent updates) is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This ASU establishes a five-step model that must be used to recognize revenue that requires the entity to identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. The ASU does not apply to the majority of our revenue, including revenue associated with financial instruments, such as loans and investment securities, and certain non-interest income, such as earnings on bank-owned life insurance, dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock, gains or losses on sales of investment securities, and deposit overdraft charges. The standard allowed the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. We elected to apply the modified retrospective transition method to incomplete contracts as of the initial date of application on January 1, 2018. The adoption of the new standards did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations as revenue recognition under the new standards did not change significantly from our current practice of recognizing the in-scope non-interest income. In addition, we did not retroactively revise prior period amounts or record a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. We considered the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue from contracts with customers and determined that significant revenue streams are sufficiently disaggregated in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Descriptions of our significant revenue-generating transactions that are within the scope of the new revenue recognition standards, which are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as components of non-interest income, are as follows:

Wealth Management & Trust ("WM&T") fees - WM&T services include, but are not limited to: customized investment advisory and management; administrative services such as bill pay and tax reporting; trust administration, estate settlement, custody and fiduciary services. Performance obligations for investment advisory and management services are generally satisfied over time. Revenue is recognized monthly according to a tiered fee schedule based on the client's month-end market value of assets under our management. WM&T does not earn revenue based on performance or incentives. Costs associated with WM&T revenue-generating activities, such as payments to sub-advisors, are recorded separately as part of professional service expenses when incurred.

Deposit account service charges - Service charges on deposit accounts consist of monthly maintenance fees, business account analysis fees, business online banking fees, check order charges, and other deposit account-related fees. Performance obligations for monthly maintenance fees and account analysis fees are satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, when we complete our performance obligation each month. Performance obligations related to transaction-based services (such as check orders) are satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, at a point in time when completed, except for business accounts subject to analysis where the transaction-based fees are part of the monthly account analysis fees.

Debit card interchange fees - We issue debit cards to our consumer and small business customers that allow them to purchase goods and services from merchants in person, online, or via mobile devices using funds held in their demand deposit accounts held with us. Debit cards issued to our customers are part of global


electronic payment networks (such as Visa) who pass a portion of the merchant interchange fees to debit card-issuing member banks like us when our customers make purchases through their networks. Performance obligations for debit card services are satisfied and revenue is recognized daily as the payment networks process transactions. Because we act in an agent capacity, we determined that network costs previously recorded as a component of non-interest expense should be netted with interchange fees recorded in non-interest income.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU make improvements to accounting standards related to financial instruments, including the following:

Requires equity investments, except for those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
Simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value.
Eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value required under current standards for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheet.
Requires public companies to use the exit price notion when measuring and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments.
Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
Clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity's other deferred tax assets.

We adopted the requirements of this ASU effective January 1, 2018, which did not have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. The fair value of our loans held for investment, which is recorded at amortized cost, now incorporates the exit price notion reflecting factors such as a liquidity premium. See Note 3, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides guidance on how to present and classify eight specific cash flow topics in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented, if practical. We adopted the requirements of this ASU effective January 1, 2018, which did not impact our financial condition, results of operations, or related financial statement disclosures for the periods presented.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments are intended to help companies evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses and provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments should be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. We adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2018, which did not impact our financial condition, results of operations, or related financial statement disclosures for the periods presented.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU applies to entities that change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The FASB adopted this ASU to provide clarity in what constitutes a modification and to reduce diversity in practice in applying Topic 718. In order for a change to a share-based arrangement to not require Topic 718 modification accounting treatment, all of the following must be met: no change in fair value, no change in vesting conditions and


no change in the balance sheet classification of the modified award. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. We adopted the requirements of this ASU effective January 1, 2018, which did not impact our financial condition, results of operation, or related financial statement disclosures.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This amendment changes both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies' risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We early adopted the amendments of this ASU in the second quarter of 2018, and elected to perform hedge effectiveness assessments using a qualitative approach instead of quantitative regression analysis going forward. The adoption of this ASU had an immaterial impact to our financial results. The amendments also require additional disclosures, which are included in Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This amendment helps organizations address certain stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The ASU requires financial statement preparers to disclose a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from AOCI, whether or not they elect to reclassify the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and information about the other income tax effects that are reclassified. The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied in either the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is recognized. We early adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018. See Note 7, Stockholders' Equity.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)(the "new lease accounting standard"). The amendments in this ASU intend to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing an asset, which represents the right to use theoperating lease or finance lease right-of-use asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments, measuredrecorded based on a discounted basis.discounting future lease payments under the lease terms. This ASU generally applies to leasing arrangements exceeding a twelve-month term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. In July 2018, the FASB issued two amendments to ASU 2016-02: ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which providesprovided various corrections and clarifications to ASU 2016-02; and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides a newpermitted optional transition methodmethods and providesprovided lessors with a lessor with practical expedientsexpedient for separating lease and non-lease components of a lease. Early applicationThe ASU allowed entities to apply either a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the amendments is permitted. We intendearliest period presented or at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment to adopt thisretained earnings, which we adopted.

As a result of the adoption of the ASU during the first quarteron January 1, 2019, we recorded operating and finance lease right-of-use assets totaling $13.4 million, net of 2019, as required. We completed an inventory of ourdeferred rent and unaccreted lease agreementsincentives, operating and selected afinance lease accounting software solution. We are in the process of abstracting and inputting lease-related data, developing policies and procedures, and designing related internal controls. As of September 30, 2018, our undiscounted operating lease obligations that were off-balance sheet totaledliabilities totaling $15.4 million, (Seeand no cumulative-effect adjustments to retained earnings. Under the standard's transition guidance, we elected the package of practical expedients, which allowed us to carry forward existing lease classifications and did not require us to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedient when determining the lease term (i.e., considering whether we are reasonably certain to exercise options to extend or terminate the lease). We made accounting policy elections not to separate non-lease components from lease components and to exclude short-term leases (i.e., lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date) from right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all lease classifications. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies). Upon adoption of this ASU, the present values of leases currently classified as operating leases will be recognized as lease assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Additional disclosures of key information about our leasing arrangements will also be required. We do not expect that the ASU will have a material impact on our retained earnings, capital ratios, results of operations or return on average assets when adopted.Contingencies for further information.


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Under the new guidance, entities will be required to present financial assets at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses will be based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of a credit over its remaining life. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for expected credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 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. We have formed an internal Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") committee and are working with our third party vendor to determine


the appropriate methodologies and resources to utilize in preparation for transition to the new accounting standards. The impact of this ASU on our financial condition and results of operations is not known at this time.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees, applying some of the same requirements as employee share-based payment transactions. The ASU will not affect the accounting for share-based payment awards to nonemployee directors, which will continue to be treated as employee share-based transactions under the current standards. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We doadopted the requirements of this ASU effective January 1, 2019, which did not expect that the ASU will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, as it is not our practice to issue stock-based awards to pay for goods and services from nonemployees, other than nonemployee directors.


In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This update adds an alternative fifth permissible U.S. benchmark rate to be used for hedge accounting purposes. As we have already adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12, which changed both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships, the amendments in ASU 2018-16 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be adopted on a prospective basis for qualifying new or re-designated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period upon issuance of this ASU if an entity already has adopted ASU 2017-12. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2019, which did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard will replace today's "incurred loss" model with a "current expected credit loss" ("CECL") model. The CECL model will apply to estimated credit losses on loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, unfunded loan commitments, and certain other financial assets measured at amortized cost. The CECL model is based on lifetime expected losses, rather than incurred losses, and requires the recognition of credit loss expense in the consolidated statement of income and a related allowance for credit losses on the consolidated statement of condition at the time of origination or purchase of a loan receivable or held-to-maturity debt


security. Likewise, subsequent changes in this estimate are recorded through credit loss expense and related allowance. The CECL model requires the use of not only relevant historical experience and current conditions, but reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances, incorporating a broad range of information in developing credit loss estimates, which could result in significant changes to both the timing and amount of credit loss expense and allowance. Under ASU 2016-13, available-for-sale debt securities are evaluated for impairment if fair value is less than amortized cost. Estimated credit losses are recorded through a credit loss expense and an allowance, rather than a write-down of the investment. Changes in fair value that are not credit-related will continue to be recorded in other comprehensive income. The ASU also expands the disclosure requirements regarding assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan losses. In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU 2016-13 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. Entities will apply a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.

While we believe the change from an incurred loss model to a CECL model has the potential to increase the allowance for credit losses at the adoption date, the full impact to our financial condition or results of operations cannot be quantified at this time as we continue to evaluate the applicability and validity of our methodologies and assumptions. In addition, any estimate could be significantly influenced by the composition and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date. Our cross-functional team and our third-party CECL model vendor continue to make progress and we will be ready for adoption on January 1, 2020. Early implementation activities focused on, among other things, capturing and validating data, segmenting the loan portfolio, evaluating various credit loss estimation methodologies, sourcing tools to forecast future economic conditions, and running multiple loan loss driver analyses that correlate our credit loss experience with one or more economic factors. Based on these activities, we determined that our primary credit loss methodology will utilize a discounted cash flow approach that considers the probability of default and loss given default. Continuing implementation activities include refining estimated credit loss model assumptions, evaluating the qualitative factor framework and assumptions, drafting policies and disclosures, and evaluating, documenting and testing internal controls. In addition, we will continue to run parallel tests throughout 2019 to identify opportunities for enhancing our assumptions as the processes, internal controls and policies are finalized.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU remove, modify, and add disclosure requirements for the fair value reporting of assets and liabilities. The modifications and additions relate to Level 3 fair value measurements at the end of the reporting period. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should disclose and describe the range and weighted-average of significant observable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Entities making this election are permitted to early adopt the eliminated or modified disclosure requirements and delay the adoption of all the new disclosure requirements until the ASU's effective date. We doAs the ASU’s requirements only relate to disclosures, the amendments will not expect that the ASU will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by this ASU. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity has the option to apply amendments in the ASU either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We do not expect that the ASU will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In October 2018,March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging2019-01, Leases (Topic 815)842): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting PurposesCodification Improvements. This update adds an alternative fifth permissible U.S. benchmark rateASU addresses two lessor implementation issues and clarifies that lessees and lessors are exempt from certain interim disclosure requirements associated with adopting ASU 2016-02. The amendments related to be usedthe lessor implementation issues are effective for hedge accounting purposes. As we have already adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12, which changed both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships, the amendments in ASU 2018-16 are effectivepublic business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2019, and interim periods


within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. As the ASU's amendments applicable to us only relate to disclosures, the adoption is permitted in any interim period upon issuanceof ASU 2019-01 will not impact our financial condition or results of operations.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments that clarifies and improves areas of guidance related to recently issued standards on credit losses, hedging and recognition and measurement. The provisions of this ASU if an entity already has adopted ASU 2017-12.are effective January 1, 2020 and contain various methods of adoption. We expect this amendment to affect the presentation of our hedging activities, but we do not expect it tothat the ASU will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This ASU allows an option for entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible financial assets measured at amortized cost basis upon adoption of the credit loss standards. This amendment provides relief for those entities electing the fair value option on newly originated or purchased financial assets, while maintaining existing similar financial assets at amortized cost, avoiding the requirement to maintain dual measurement methods for similar assets. The fair value option does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. The effective date for this ASU is the same as for ASU 2016-13, as discussed above. We will evaluate this ASU in conjunction with ASU 2016-13 to determine its impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Note 3:  Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
 
Fair Value Hierarchy and Fair Value Measurement
 
We group our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in three levels within the fair value hierarchy, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
 
Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3: Valuations are based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Values are determined using pricing models and discounted cash flow models and may include significant Management judgment and estimation.




Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized through our monthly and/or quarterly valuation process in the reporting period during which the event or circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. No such transfers occurred during the first ninethree and six months of 20182019 or 2017.2018.

Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. When available, quoted market prices (Level 1) are used to determine the fair value of securities available-for-sale. If quoted market prices are not available, we obtain pricing information from a reputable third-party service providers,provider, who may utilize valuation techniques that use current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as bid/ask prices, dealer-quoted prices, interest rates, benchmark yield curves, prepayment speeds, probability of default, loss severity and credit spreads (Level 2).   Level 2 securities include obligations of state and political subdivisions, U.S. agencies or government-sponsored agencies' debt securities, mortgage-backed securities, government agency-issued, privately-issued collateralized mortgage obligations, and corporate bonds. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018, there were no Level 1 securities. As of December 31, 2017, we had oneor Level 3 available-for-sale U.S. government agency obligation, which was paid off during the second quarter of 2018.securities.


Securities held-to-maturity may be written down to fair value (determined using the same techniques discussed above for securities available-for-sale) as a result of other-than-temporary impairment, and we did not record any write-downs during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 or SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.
 
On a recurring basis, derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value, which is based on the income approach using observable Level 2 market inputs, reflecting market expectations of future interest rates as of the measurement date.  Standard valuation techniques are used to calculate the present value of the future expected cash flows assuming


an orderly transaction.  Valuation adjustments may be made to reflect both our own credit risk and the counterparties’ credit risk in determining the fair value of the derivatives. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to observable market prices for London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") rates (for the very short term), quoted prices for LIBOR futures contracts, observable market prices for LIBOR and OIS swap rates, and one-month and three-month LIBOR basis spreads at commonly quoted intervals.  Mid-market pricing of the inputs is used as a practical expedient in the fair value measurements.  We project spot rates at reset days specified by each swap contract to determine future cash flows, then discount to present value using either LIBOR or OIS curves depending


on whether the swap positions are fully collateralized as of the measurement date.  When the value of any collateral placed with counterparties is less than the interest rate derivative liability, a credit valuation adjustment ("CVA") is applied to reflect the credit risk we pose to counterparties.  We have used the spread between the Standard & Poor's BBB rated U.S. Bank Composite rate and LIBOR for the closest maturity term corresponding to the duration of the swaps to derive the CVA. A similar credit risk adjustment, correlated to the credit standing of the counterparty, is made when collateral posted by the counterparty does not fully cover their liability to us. For further discussion on our methodology in valuing our derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.


Certain financial assets may be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets, such as impaired loans that are collateral dependent and other real estate owned ("OREO"). As of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we did not carry any assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The following table summarizesbelow is a summary of fair value estimates for financial instruments as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, excluding financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (summarized in the first table in this note). The carrying amounts in the following table are recorded in the consolidated statements of condition under the indicated captions. Further, we have not disclosed the fair value of financial instruments specifically excluded from disclosure requirements such as bank-owned life insurance policies ("BOLI") and non-maturity deposit liabilities. Additionally, we hold shares of FHLB stock and Visa Inc. Class B common stock, both recorded at cost. These shares are restrictedcost, as there was no impairment or changes resulting from resale, except among member banks,observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer as of June 30, 2019 and theirDecember 31, 2018.

As part of our ongoing review of our investment securities portfolio, we reassessed the classification of certain securities issued by government sponsored agencies. During 2018 and 2017, we transferred $27.4 million and $129.0 million, respectively, of these securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity at fair value. We intend and have the ability to hold these securities to maturity. The net unrealized pre-tax loss of $278 thousand and $3.0 million, at the respective transfer dates, remained in accumulated other comprehensive income and are amortized over the remaining lives of the securities. Amortization of the net unrealized pre-tax losses totaled $396 thousand and $299 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the investment portfolio included 8348 investment securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more and 1708 investment securities that had been in a loss position for less than twelve months.


Securities issued by government-sponsored agencies, such as FNMA and FHLMC, usually have implicit credit support by the U.S. federal government. However, since 2008, FNMA and FHLMC have been under government conservatorship and, therefore, contractual cash flows for these investments carry explicit guarantees by the U.S. federal government. Securities issued by the SBA and GNMA have explicit credit guarantees by the U.S. federal government, which protects us from credit losses on the contractual cash flows of the securities.
Other temporarily impaired securities, including obligations of state and political subdivisions and corporate bonds, were deemed credit worthy after our internal analyses of the issuers’ latest financial information, credit ratings by major credit rating agencies, and/or credit enhancements.
Based on our comprehensive analyses, we determined that the decline in the fair values of these securities was primarily driven by factors other than credit, such as changes in market interest rates and liquidity spreads subsequent to purchase. At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, Management determined that it did not intend to sell investment securities with unrealized losses, and it is more likely than not that we arewill not be required to sell any of the securities with unrealized losses before recovery of their amortized cost. Therefore, we do not consider these investment securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019.
Non-Marketable Securities


As a member of the FHLB, we are required to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB capital stock determined by the Board of Directors of the FHLB. The minimum investment requirements can increase in the event we increase our total asset size or borrowings with the FHLB. Shares cannot be purchased or sold except between the FHLB and its members at the $100 per share par value. We held $11.7 million and $11.1 million of FHLB stock recorded at costincluded in other assets inon the consolidated statements of condition at both SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018, respectively. The carrying amounts of these investments are reasonable estimates of fair value because the securities are restricted to member banks and they do not have a readily determinable market value. Management does not believeBased on our analysis of FHLB's financial condition and certain qualitative factors, we determined that the FHLB stock is other-than-temporarily-impaired, due to FHLB's current financial condition.was not impaired at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. On OctoberJuly 25, 2018,2019, FHLB announced a cash dividend to be distributed in mid-November 2018for the second quarter of 2019 at an annualized dividend rate of 7.00%. to be distributed in mid-August 2019. Cash dividends paid on FHLB capital stock are recorded as non-interest income.






As a member bank of Visa U.S.A., we hold 16,939held 10,439 shares of Visa Inc. Class B common stock withat June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These shares have a carrying value of zero which is equal to our cost basis. These sharesand are restricted from resale to non-member banks of Visa U.S.A. until their conversion into Class A (voting) shares upon the termination of Visa Inc.'s Covered Litigation escrow account. Because of the restriction and the uncertainty on the conversationconversion rate to Class A shares, these shares lack a readily determinable fair value and are not classified as available-for-sale securities nor are they carried at fair value. When converting this Class B common stock to Class A common stock based on the conversion rate of 1.6298 both as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 1.6483 as of December 31, 2017,2018, and the closing stock price of Class A shares at those respective dates, the converted value of our shares of Class B common stock would have been $4.1$3.0 million and $3.2$2.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. The conversion rate is subject to further adjustment upon the final settlement of the covered litigation against Visa Inc. and its member banks. As such, the fair value of these Class B shares can differ significantly from their converted values. For further information, refer to Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies.

On October 25, 2018, we entered into an agreement to sell 6,500 shares of our holdings of Visa Class B common stock to a member bank of Visa U.S.A. to be settled in the fourth quarter of 2018, and the estimated net pre-tax gain from the sale is $955 thousand.


We invest in low-income housing tax credit funds as a limited partner, which totaled $4.8$4.4 million and $2.1$4.6 million recorded in other assets as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. WeIn the first six months of 2019, we recognized $173 thousand and $454$305 thousand of low-income housing tax credits and other tax benefits, net of $144 thousand and $381offset by $232 thousand of amortization expense of low-income housing tax credit investment, as a component of income tax expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.expense. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our unfunded commitments for these low-income housing tax credit funds totaled $3.2$3.1 million. We did not recognize any impairment losses on these low-income housing tax credit investments during the three and ninefirst six months ended September 30,of 2019 or 2018, or 2017, as the value of the future tax benefits exceeds the carrying value of the investments.

1 Our residential loan portfolio does not include sub-prime loans, nor is it our practice to underwrite loans commonly referred to as "Alt-A mortgages", the characteristics of which are loans lacking full documentation, borrowers having low FICO scores or higher loan-to-value ratios.
2 Includes no purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans at SeptemberJune 30, 2018. Three PCI loans with unpaid balances totaling $131 thousand2019 and no carrying values were not accreting interest at December 31, 2017.2018. Amounts exclude accreting PCI loans with carrying values totaling $2.1 million at both SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018, as we have a reasonable expectation about future cash flows to be collected and we continue to recognize accretable yield on these loans in interest income. There were no accruing loans past due more than ninety days at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 or December 31, 2017.2018.


32 Amounts include net deferred loan origination costs of $704$781 thousand and $818$635 thousand at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. Amounts are also net of unaccreted purchase discounts on non-PCI loans of $922$669 thousand and $1.2 million$708 thousand at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.


We generally make commercial loans to established small and mid-sized businesses to provide financing for their growth and working capital needs, equipment purchases and acquisitions.  Management examines historical, current, and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are made based primarily on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral and guarantor support. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not occur as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed,


such as accounts receivable and inventory, and typically include personal guarantees. We target stable businesses with guarantors who provide additional sources of repayment and have proven to be resilient in periods of economic stress.
 
Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans discussed above. We underwrite these loans to be repaid from cash flow and to be supported by real property collateral. Underwriting standards for commercial real estate loans include, but are not limited to, debt coverage and loan-to-value ratios. Furthermore, a large majority of our loans are guaranteed by the owners of the properties guarantee substantially all of our commercial real estate loans.properties. Conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy may adversely affect our commercial real estate loans. In the event of a vacancy, we expect guarantors to carry the loans until they find a replacement tenant.  The owner's substantial equity investment provides a strong economic incentive to continue to support the commercial real estate projects. As such, we have generally experienced a relatively low level of loss and delinquencies in this portfolio.


WeConstruction loans are generally make construction loansmade to developers and builders to finance construction, renovation and occasionally land acquisitions in anticipation of near-term development. Construction loan borrowers provide for interest reserves that are used for the payment of interest during the development and marketing periods. When a construction loan is placed on nonaccrual status before the depletion of the interest reserve, we apply the interest funded by the interest reserve against the loan's principal balance. These loans are underwritten after evaluation of the borrower's financial strength, reputation, prior track record, and independent appraisals. We monitor all construction projects to determine whether they are on schedule, completed as planned and in accordance with the approved construction budgets. Significant events can affect the construction industry, including: the inherent volatility of real estate markets and vulnerability to delays due to weather, change orders, inability to obtain construction permits, labor or material shortages, and price changes. Estimates of construction costs and value associated with the completed project may be inaccurate. Repayment of construction loans is largely dependent on the ultimate success of the project.
 
Consumer loans primarily consist of home equity lines of credit, other residential loans and floating homes, along with a small number of installment loans. Our other residential loans include tenancy-in-common fractional interest loans ("TIC") located almost entirely in San Francisco County. We originate consumer loans utilizing credit score information, debt-to-income ratio and loan-to-value ratio analysis. Diversification among consumer loan types, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, mitigates risk. We do not originate sub-prime residential mortgage loans, nor is it our practice to underwrite loans commonly referred to as "Alt-A mortgages," the characteristics of which are reduced documentation, borrowers with low FICO scores or collateral with high loan-to-value ratios.


We use a risk rating system to evaluate asset quality, and to identify and monitor credit risk in individual loans, and in the loan portfolio. Our definitions of “Special Mention” risk graded loans, or worse, are consistent with those used by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  Our internally assigned grades are as follows:
 
Pass and Watch: Loans to borrowers of acceptable or better credit quality. Borrowers in this category demonstrate fundamentally sound financial positions, repayment capacity, credit history, and management expertise.  Loans in this category must have an identifiable and stable source of repayment and meet the Bank’s policy regarding debt-service-coverage ratios.  These borrowers are capable of sustaining normal economic, market or operational setbacks without significant financial consequences.  Negative external industry factors are generally not present.  The loan may be secured, unsecured or supported by non-real estate collateral for which the value is more difficult to determine and/or marketability is more uncertain. This category also includes “Watch” loans, where the primary source of repayment has been delayed. “Watch” is intended to be a transitional grade, with either an upgrade or downgrade within a reasonable period.
 
Special Mention: Potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, those potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the payment prospects for the asset. Special Mention assets do not present sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
 
Substandard: Inadequately protected by either the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. A Substandard asset has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize(s) the liquidation of the debt. Substandard assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if such weaknesses or deficiencies are not corrected. Well-defined weaknesses include adverse trends or developments of the borrower’s financial condition, managerial weaknesses and/or significant collateral deficiencies.


 


Doubtful: Critical weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full improbable. There may be specific pending events that work to strengthen the asset; however, the amount or timing of the loss may not be determinable. Pending events generally occur within one year of the asset being classified as Doubtful. Examples include: merger, acquisition, or liquidation; capital injection; guarantee; perfecting liens on additional collateral; and refinancing. Such loans are placed on non-accrual status and usually are collateral-dependent.


We regularly review our credits for accuracy of risk grades whenever we receive new information. Borrowers are generally required to submit financial information at regular intervals. Typically, commercial borrowers with lines of credit are required to submit financial information with reporting intervals ranging from monthly to annually depending on credit size, risk and complexity. In addition, investor commercial real estate borrowers are usually required to submit rent rolls or property income statements annually. We monitor construction loans monthly and review them on an ongoing basis.monthly. We review home equity and other consumer loans based on delinquency status.delinquency. We also review loans graded “Watch” or worse, regardless of loan type, no less than quarterly.


The following table represents an analysis of the carrying amount in loans, net of deferred fees and costs and purchase premiums or discounts, by internally assigned risk grades, including PCI loans, at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

Troubled Debt Restructuring
 
Our loan portfolio includes certain loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), where we have granted economic concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. TDRs on non-accrual status at the time of restructure may be returned to accruing status after Management considers the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months, and obtains reasonable assurance of repayment and performance.
 
We may remove a loan from TDR designation if it meets all of the following conditions:
The loan is subsequently refinanced or restructured at current market interest rates and the new terms are consistent with the treatment of creditworthy borrowers under regular underwriting standards;
The borrower is no longer considered to be in financial difficulty;
Performance on the loan is reasonably assured; and;and
Existing loan did not have any forgiveness of principal or interest.


The same Management level that approved the upgrading of the loan classification upgrade must approve the removal of TDR status. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018,There was one commercial loan with a recorded investment of $3 thousand and one TIC loan and one home equity loan with a recorded investments totaling $247investment of $150 thousand were removed from TDR designation during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, after meeting all of the conditions noted above. There were no loans removed from TDR designation during 2017.



The following table summarizes the carrying amount of TDR loans by loan class as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans
 
Acquired loans are considered credit-impaired if there is evidence of significant deterioration of credit quality since origination and it is probable, at the acquisition date, that we will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. Management has determined certain loans purchased in our three bank acquisitions to be PCI loans based on credit indicators such as nonaccrualnon-accrual status, past due status, loan risk grade, loan-to-value ratio, etc. Revolving credit agreements (e.g., home equity lines of credit and revolving commercial loans) are not considered PCI loans as cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated.



The following table reflects the unpaid principal balance and related carrying value of PCI loans.

Additionally, Bancorp announced a 2:1August 2, 2019. All share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split payable oneffective November 27, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2018. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for the pro forma effect of the stock split on reported earnings per share for the periods presented.




Share-Based Payments
 
The fair value of stock options as of the grant date is recorded as stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in common stock. Stock-based compensation also includes compensation expense related to the issuance of restricted stock awards. The grant-date fair value of the restricted stock awards, on the grant date, which equals the intrinsic value, is recorded as compensation expense over the requisite service period with a corresponding increase in common stock as the shares vest. StockBeginning in 2018, stock option and restricted stock awards issued in 2018 include a retirement eligibility clause whereby the requisite service period is satisfied at the retirement eligibility date. For those awards, we accelerate stock-based compensation ifexpense when the award holder is eligible to retire. However, retirement eligibility does not affect the legal vesting schedule of restricted stock or the awards.exercisability of stock options, which are based on the scheduled vesting period.


Performance-based stock awards (restricted stock awards)stock) are issued to a selected group of employees. Stock award vesting is contingent upon the achievement of pre-established long-term performance goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Performance is measured over a three-year period and the stock awards cliff vest.vested. These performance-based stock awards were granted at a maximum opportunity level, and based on the achievement of the pre-established goals, the actual payouts can range from 0% to 200% of the target award. For performance-based stock awards, an estimate is made of the number of shares expected to vest based on the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized. The estimate is re-evaluated quarterly and total compensation expense is adjusted for any change in the current period.


In addition, weWe record excess tax benefits (deficiencies) resulting from the exercise of non-qualified stock options, the disqualifying disposition of incentive stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards as income tax benefits


(expense) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income with a corresponding decrease (increase) to current taxes payable.
 
The holders of unvested restricted stock awards are entitled to dividends on the same per-share ratio as holders of common stock. Tax benefits onfor dividends paid on unvested restricted stock awards are recorded as tax benefits in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income with a corresponding decrease to current taxes payable. Dividends on forfeited awards are included in stock-based compensation expense.


Under the 2017 Equity Plan,Stock options and restricted stock options may be net settled in a cashless exercise by a reduction in the number of shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise or vesting in satisfaction of the exercise payment andand/or applicable tax withholding requirements. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, we withheld 6,937 shares totaling $290 thousand at a weighted-average price of $41.78 for cashless exercises. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, option holders exchanged 20,981we withheld 39,726 shares totaling $1.5$1.4 million at a weighted-average price of $71.35$35.17 for cashless stock option exercises and tax withholdings upon vesting of performance-based stock awards.

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income


We early adopted ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, in the first quarter of 2018 and reclassified $638 thousand from AOCI to retained earnings. This amount representsrepresented the stranded income tax effects related to the unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities in AOCI on the date of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. For more information regarding ASU No. 2018-02, refer to Note 2, Accounting Standards Adopted in 2018.


Share Repurchase Program


On April 23, 2018, Bancorp announced that its Board of Directors approved a Share Repurchase Program under which Bancorp may repurchase up to $25.0 million of its outstanding common stock through May 1, 2019. Bancorp's Board of Directors subsequently extended the Share Repurchase Program through February 28, 2020.


Under the Share Repurchase Program, Bancorp may purchase shares of its common stock through various means such as open market transactions, including block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at Bancorp's discretion. Factors include, but are not limited to, stock price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with Bancorp’s general business conditions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate Bancorp to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock.




As part of the Share Repurchase Program, Bancorp entered into a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The 10b5-1 trading plan permits common stock to be repurchased at times that might otherwise be prohibited under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions. The 10b5-1 trading plan is administered by an independent broker and is subject to price, market volume and timing restrictions.


During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, Bancorp purchased 17,943repurchased 248,524 shares totaling $10.4 million for a total amount of $1.5 million.cumulative 419,741 shares totaling $17.5 million repurchased from May 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.


Note 8:  Commitments and Contingencies
 
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
We make commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because various commitments will expire without being fully drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
 
Our credit loss exposure is equal to the contractual amount of the commitment in the event of nonperformance by the borrower. We use the same credit underwriting criteria for all credit exposure. The amount of collateral obtained, if


deemed necessary by us, is based on Management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral types pledged may include accounts receivable, inventory, other personal property and real property.

We record an allowance for losses on these off-balance sheet commitments based on an estimate of probabilities of the utilization of these commitments according to our historical experience on different types of commitments and expected loss. The allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments totaled $1.1 million and $958 thousand as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, which is recorded in interest payable and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of condition.

Litigation Matters


WeBancorp may be party to legal actions that arise from time to time duringin the normal course of business. We believe, after consultation withBancorp's Management is not aware of any pending legal counsel,proceedings to which either it or the Bank may be a party or has recently been a party that litigation contingent liability, if any, would notwill have a material adverse effect on our consolidatedthe financial position,condition or results of operations of Bancorp or cash flows.the Bank.


The Bank is responsible for a proportionate share of certain litigation indemnifications provided to Visa U.S.A. ("Visa") by its member banks in connection with Visa's lawsuits related to anti-trust charges and interchange fees ("Covered Litigation"). Our proportionate share of the litigation indemnification liability does not change or transfer upon the sale of our Class B Visa shares to member banks. Visa established an escrow account to pay for settlements or judgments in the Covered Litigation. Under the terms of the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, when Visa funds the litigation escrow account, it triggers a conversion rate reduction of the Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock, effectively reducing the aggregate value of the Class B common stock held by Visa's member banks like us.


In 2012, Visa had reached a $4.0 billion interchange multidistrict litigation class settlement agreement with plaintiffs representing a class of U.S. retailers. On September 17, 2018, Visa signed an amended settlement agreement with the putative class action plaintiffs of the U.S. interchange multidistrict litigation that superseded the 2012 settlement agreement. Pursuant toVisa's share of the settlement amount under the amended class settlement agreement Visa deposited an additional $600 million intoincreased to $4.1 billion. On January 24, 2019, the litigation escrow account, increasingdistrict court granted preliminary approval of the escrow account balanceamended class settlement agreement, which was moved for final approval on June 7, 2019. Certain merchants chose to $1.5 billion.opt out of the class settlement agreement and a final settlement approval hearing is scheduled for November 7, 2019. The escrow balance as of June 30, 2019 of $902 million, combined with funds previously deposited with the court, are expected to cover allthe settlement payment obligations. According to Visa's Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2018, it had reached settlement agreements with individual merchants representing 51% of the Visa-branded payment card sales volume of merchants who opted out of the 2012 settlement agreement.




The outcome of the Covered Litigation affects the conversion rate of Visa Class B common stock held by us to Visa Class A common stock, as discussed above and in Note 4, Investment Securities. The final conversion rate might change depending on the final settlement payments, and the full effect on member banks is still uncertain. Litigation is ongoing and until the court approval process is complete, there is no assurance that Visa will resolve the claims as contemplated by the amended class settlement agreement, and additional lawsuits may arise.arise from individual merchants who opted out of the class settlement. However, until the escrow account is fully depleted and the conversion rate of Class B to Class A common stock is reduced to zero, no future cash settlement payments are required by the member banks, such as us, on the Covered Litigation. Therefore, we are not required to record any contingent liabilities for the indemnification liabilities related to the Covered Litigation.Litigation, as we consider the probability of losses to be remote.


Note 9: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities


We have entered into interest rate swap agreements, primarily as an interest rate risk management strategy, in order to mitigate the changes in the fair value of specified long-term fixed-rate loans (or firm commitments to enter into long-term fixed-rate loans) caused by changes in interest rates. These hedges allow us to offer long-term fixed-rate loans to customers without assuming the interest rate risk of a long-term asset. Converting our fixed-rate interest payments


to floating-rate interest payments, generally benchmarked to the one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR index, protects us against changes in the fair value of our loans associated with fluctuating interest rates.


Our credit exposure, if any, on interest rate swap asset positions is limited to the fair value (net of any collateral pledged to us) and interest payments of all swaps by each counterparty. Conversely, when an interest rate swap is in a liability position exceeding a certain threshold, we may be required to post collateral to the counterparty in an amount determined by the agreements. Collateral levels are monitored and adjusted on a regular basis for changes in interest rate swap values.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019, we had five interest rate swap agreements, which are scheduled to mature in June 2031, October 2031, July 2032, August 2037 and October 2037. All of our derivatives are designated hedging instruments and are accounted for as fair value hedges. The notional amounts of the interest rate contracts are equal to the notional amounts of the hedged loans. Our interest rate swap payments are settled monthly with counterparties. Accrued interest on the swaps totaled $4$3 thousand at both June 30, 2019 and $8 thousand as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Note 10: Acquisition

On November 21, 2017, we completed the merger of Bank of Napa, N.A. (OTCQB: BNNP), to enhance our market presence in Napa, California. Bank of Napa was a national bank with two branch offices serving Napa. The acquisition added $134.7 million in loans, $249.9 million in deposits and $75.5 million in investment securities to Bank of Marin as of the acquisition date. Bank of Napa shareholders received 0.307 shares of Bancorp common stock for each


share of Bank of Napa common stock outstanding. We have accounted for the acquisition of Bank of Napa as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition was treated as a "reorganization" within the definition of section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is generally considered tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Bank of Napa acquisition resulted in $23.7 million in goodwill, which represents the excess of the total purchase price paid over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of the fair values of liabilities assumed. Goodwill mainly reflects expected value created through the combined operations of Bank of Napa and Bank of Marin, which we evaluate for impairment annually. We determined that the fair value of our traditional community banking activities (provided through our branch network) exceeded the carrying amount of the bank-level reporting unit. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The core deposit intangible represents the estimated future benefits of acquired deposits and is booked separately from the related deposits. We recorded a core deposit intangible asset of $4.4 million from the Bank of Napa acquisition on November 21, 2017, of which $56 thousand was amortized in 2017 and $381 thousand was amortized in the first nine months of 2018. The core deposit intangible is amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated ten-year life, and is evaluated periodically for impairment. No impairment loss was recognized as of September 30, 2018.

Acquisition-related expenses are recognized as incurred and continue until all systems have been converted and operational functions become fully integrated. Bank of Marin Bancorp incurred acquisition-related expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as follows:

ITEM 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Management's discussion of the financial condition and results of operations, which is unaudited, should be read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Average balances, including balances used in calculating certain financial ratios, are generally comprised of average daily balances.
 
Forward-Looking Statements


This discussion of financial results includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "1933 Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "1934 Act"). Those sections of the 1933 Act and 1934 Act provide a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their financial performance so long as they provide meaningful, cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from projected results.
 
Our forward-looking statements include descriptions of plans or objectives of Management for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of revenues, earnings or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate" or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs preceded by "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may."
 
Forward-looking statements are based on Management's current expectations regarding economic, legislative, and regulatory issues and the successful integration of acquisitions that may affect our earnings in future periods. A number of factors, many of which are beyond Management’s control, could cause future results to vary materially from current Management expectations. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions and the economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad, including changes in interest rates, deposit flows, real estate values, and expected future cash flows on


loans and securities; costs or effects of acquisitions; competition; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation (including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017); natural disasters (such as the 2017 wildfires in our area); adverse weather conditions; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors (including external fraud and cyber-securitycybersecurity threats) affecting our operations, pricing, products and services.


Important factors that could cause results or performance to materially differ from those expressed in our prior forward-looking statements are detailed in the Risk Factors section of this Form 10-Q and in Item 1A. Risk Factors section of our 20172018 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, copies of which are available from us at no charge. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require Management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and imprecise. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies, which include: Allowance for Loan Losses, Other-than-temporary Impairment of Investment Securities, Accounting for Income Taxes, and Fair Value Measurements. For a detailed discussion, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20172018 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 20182019 and Note 2, Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

To reduce our funding costs, on October 5, 2018, Bancorp early-redeemed one of the two subordinated debentures assumed as part of the 2013 acquisition of NorCal Community Bancorp. The unaccreted purchase discount of $916 thousand has been accelerated and will have a one-time impact on net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2018, but will not have a material impact on our capital ratios.

Based on the size of the market and reduced branch foot traffic driven by digital banking offerings, we have decided to close the Petaluma Downtown Branch on August 9, 2019.  We will focus our resources on growing our two remaining branches in Petaluma, where most Downtown customers have already moved their business. Our commitment to the Petaluma community remains strong, and employees have accepted positions in other Bank of Marin branches.
On June 17, 2019, we upgraded to a new digital banking platform that offers our customers enhanced features and additional functionality for an improved online and mobile banking experience. The conversion is substantially complete, and the implementation and operations teams are working closely with our customers to make their transition to the new platform as smooth as possible.

Looking forward into 2018,2019, we believe that our core values - relationship banking, disciplined fundamentals and commitment to the communities that we serve - will continue to drive the success of the Bank.  By building strong relationships in vibrant markets, we are able to grow our loan portfolio and deposit franchise organically. Disciplined fundamentals ensure that our credit quality remains high, our deposit base is reasonably priced, and our operations are highly efficient, all of which contribute to profitability and net interest margin expansion.  Our success helps us to attract the most qualified professionals in the marketplace.profitability.


Our strong liquidity and capital supportssupport our organic growth as well as possible acquisitions. This gives us a great deal of flexibility as we seek opportunities that add value to the Company.Bank.

1 Tangible common equity to tangible assets is considered to be a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure of capital adequacy and is useful for investors to assess Bancorp's ability to absorb potential losses. Tangible common equity of $292 million and $281 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, includes common stock, retained earnings and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for sale securities, net of tax, less goodwill and intangible assets of $35.9 million and $36.6 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.assets. Tangible assets exclude goodwill and intangible assets.assets of $35.3 million and $35.7 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
2Includes merger-related costs totaling $89 thousand and $954 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
3 Tax-equivalent net interest margin is computed by dividing taxable equivalent net interest income, which is adjusted for taxable equivalent income on tax-exempt loans and securities based on Federal statutory rate of 21 percent, in 2018 and 35 percent in 2017, by total average interest-earning assets.
43 Calculated as dividends on common shares divided by basic net income per common share.

4 Share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split effective November 27, 2018.




Net Interest Income
 
Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is impacted by changes in general market interest rates and by changes in the amounts and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate changes can create fluctuations in the net interest income and/or margin due to an imbalance in the timing of repricing and maturity of assets and liabilities. We manage interest rate risk exposure with the goal of minimizing the impact of interest rate volatility on net interest income. For more information, refer to Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk in this Form 10-Q.
 
Net interest margin is expressed as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate incurred on total interest-bearing liabilities. Both of these measures are reported on a taxable-equivalent basis. Net interest margin is the higher of the two because it reflects interest income earned on assets funded with non-interest-bearing sources of funds, which include demand deposits and stockholders’ equity.

Analysis of Changes in Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Income


The following table presents the effects of changes in average balances (volume) or changes in average rates on tax-equivalent net interest income for the years indicated. Volume variances are equal to the increase or decrease in average balances multiplied by prior period rates. Rate variances are equal to the increase or decrease in rates multiplied by prior period average balances. Mix variances are attributable to the change in yields or rates multiplied by the change in average balances.

Market Interest Rates


Market interest rates are, in part, based oninfluenced by the target federal funds interest rate (the interest rate banks charge each other for short-term borrowings) implementedset by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee ("FOMC"). Actions byDuring 2018, the FOMC made four 25-basis-point increases to increasea range of 2.25% to 2.50% as of December 2018, where it remained during the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points in Decemberfirst half of 2019. While nine increases since 2015 December 2016, March 2017, June 2017, December 2017, March 2018, June 2018 and September 2018, have positively impacted yields on our rate sensitive interest-earning assets. The increasePrime-rate adjustable assets, the yield curve flattened with less movement in September 2018,longer-term rates that influence pricing on longer-term, fixed-rate loans. In its July 2019 meeting, the FOMC decided to the current target range forlower the federal funds rate by 0.25% to a range of 2.00%2.0% to 2.25%, was and stated that it will continue to monitor the eighth rate hike since 2008. Ifeconomic outlook and will act as appropriate to sustain the


expansion. In addition, the FOMC decided to end the reduction of its securities holdings as of August 1, 2019, two months earlier than previously indicated. Because the Bank is asset sensitive, falling interest rates continue to rise, we anticipate that ourcould put pressure on net interest income will increase. While short-term interest rates have risenmargin, and improvedchanges in the Bank’s yields on prime-rate adjustable assets, longer-term rates that influence competitive pricing shape of the yield curve could either mitigate or exacerbate those effects.

Impact of Acquired Loans on Net Interest Margin


Early payoffs or prepayments of our acquired loans with significant unamortized purchase discount/premium could result in volatility in our net interest margin. As our acquired loans from prior acquisitions continue to pay off, we expect the accretion income from these loans to continue to decline. Accretion and gains on payoffs of purchased loans are recorded in interest income and the positive affectimpact on our net interest margin for the thirdsecond quarter and the first ninesix months of 20182019 and 20172018 were as follows:

Provision for Loan Losses
 
Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses quarterly based on several factors including growth of the loan portfolio, analysis of probable losses in the portfolio, historical loss experience and the current economic climate. While loss recoveries and provisions for loan losses charged to expense increase the allowance, actual losses on loans reduce the allowance.
 
Impaired loan balances totaled $15.5$12.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and $16.9$15.0 million at December 31, 2017,2018, with specific valuation allowances of $527$576 thousand and $513$778 thousand for the same respective dates. Classified assets (loans with substandard or doubtful risk grades) decreased to $12.4$10.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, from $27.9$12.6 million at December 31, 2017.2018. The $2.3 million decrease in classified loans iswas primarily due to two borrowing relationships whosea substantial pay down on a substandard classified land development loan, which was upgraded to a Pass risk grades were upgraded from substandardrating due to special mention in the second quarter of 2018.borrower’s improved financial condition and low loan-to-value ratio.  There were no loans with doubtful risk grades at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 or December 31, 2017.2018.


There was no provision for loan losses recorded in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017. The two classified borrowing relationships that were upgraded in the second quarter (mentioned above) reduced the calculated general allowance for loan losses.  This reduction was primarily offset by general allowances resulting from loan growth and refinement of certain loan concentration qualitative factors, and an increase in specific reserves related to a loan that was modified as a troubled debt restructuring in the second quarter.2018. Net recoveries in the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 totaled $4$18 thousand compared to $16net recoveries of $42 thousand in the same quarter a year ago. Net recoveries totaled $50$14 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2018,first half of 2019, compared to net charge-offsrecoveries of $194$46 thousand forin the same period in 2017.first half of 2018.


The ratio of loan loss reserves to total loans was 0.91%0.90% at SeptemberJune 30, 2018, compared to 0.94% at2019 and December 31, 2017.2018. Non-accrual loans totaled $386$574 thousand, or 0.02%0.03% of total loans, at SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, compared to $406$697 thousand, or 0.02%0.04%, at December 31, 2017.2018.

ThirdSecond Quarter of 20182019 Compared to ThirdSecond Quarter of 20172018


Non-interest income increased by $170$36 thousand in the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 to $2.2$2.3 million, compared to $2.1$2.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily attributed to debit card interchange fees due to increased activity and gains on the sale of investment securities. The largest offset was in other income was primarily due to an increasea decrease in fees on one-way deposits placed into deposit networksnetwork income as a result of reduced deposits placed one-way into the rising market interest rate environment. The decreasenetwork in Wealth Management and Trust Services income was primarily due to the loss of assets under management resulting from the distribution of large estates and trusts.2019.


First NineSix Months of 20182019 Compared to First NineSix Months of 20172018


Non-interest income increaseddecreased by $439$435 thousand in the first ninesix months of 2019 to $6.7$4.0 million, compared to $6.3$4.5 million in the same period a year ago. The increasedecrease in earnings on bank-owned life insurance was primarily due to $283 thousand non-refundable underwriting costs associated with two new bank-owned life insurance policies purchased in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in other income was primarily due to the reasons mentioneddecrease in deposit network income discussed above. The decrease in wealth management and trust services income was largely attributed to the exit of a high-risk, high balance trust client and multiple large estate asset distributions in mid-2018, partially offset by new clients in early 2019. The largest increase in non-interest income was attributed to gains on the sale of investment securities.

ThirdSecond Quarter of 20182019 Compared to ThirdSecond Quarter of 20172018


Non-interest expense increased by $935$407 thousand to $14.0$14.9 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 2018,2019, compared to $13.0$14.5 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and related benefits relateddue to additional full-time equivalent staff and merit increases. We also accrued estimated personnel severance expenses for the addition of Bank of Napa employees, merit increases and filling open positions. Additionally, we amortized $127 thousanddeparted Chief Operating Officer in the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019. The increase was partially offset by lower professional services expenses, mostly attributed to core processing contract negotiations in 2018.

First Six Months of the core-deposit intangible ("CDI") that arose from the Bank of Napa acquisition. There was no provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments in the third quarter of 2018, compared to a $100 thousand reversal of the provision in the third quarter of 2017. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased primarily due to the addition of two branches from the Bank of Napa acquisition.



Nine Months Ended September 30, 20182019 Compared to NineFirst Six Months Ended September 30, 2017of 2018


Non-interest expense increaseddecreased by $5.9 million$146 thousand to $44.6$30.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018,first half of 2019, compared to $38.7$30.6 million in the same period a year ago. The increasedecrease was primarily dueattributed to higher salaries and benefits related to the addition of Bank of Napa employees, merit increases and filling open positions, as well as higher stock-based compensation related to awards granted$1.0 million more in 2018 with certain participants meeting retirement eligibility requirements. Professional services increased due to $1.1 million in consulting expenses related toprofessional service fees


incurred for core processing contract negotiations that will result in future technology cost savings. The increase also relates to $9542018 and $544 thousand more in acquisition expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 ($598 thousand in data processing, $172 thousand in professional services, $141 thousand in personnel severancetermination and $43 thousand in other expenses) compared to $504 thousand in the same period last year ($458 thousand in professional services and $46 thousand in other expenses). Additionally, higher occupancy and equipment expensesconversion fees related to rent for the two acquired branches from Bank of Napa core processing system expenses in 2018. The decline was partially offset by higher salaries and related benefits due to additional full-time equivalent staff and merit increases and estimated accrued personnel severance. Additionally, the amortizationfirst half of $3812019 included a $129 thousand provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments.

As mentioned in the Executive Summary section above, we upgraded our digital banking platform in the second quarter. We are no longer running our existing and prior platforms in parallel and expect related expenses to decrease by approximately $295 thousand per quarter starting in the third quarter of the core-deposit intangible ("CDI")2019.  Data processing includes expenses for other projects and services that arose frommay also fluctuate as the Bank grows. The Petaluma Downtown Branch, closing on August 9, 2019, has had annual operating costs of Napa acquisition also contributedapproximately $550 thousand. The costs associated with existing employees will transfer to the increase.other branches as employees fill open positions.


Provision for Income Taxes


The provision for income taxes for the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 totaled $3.12.9 million at an effective tax rate of 26.5%26.1%, compared to $2.7 million at an effective tax rate of 34.4%25.4% in the same quarter last year. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018first half of 2019 totaled $7.5$5.5 million at an effective tax rate of 24.5%26.0%, compared to $7.4$4.3 million at an effective tax rate of 33.4%23.3% for the first half of 2018. The increase in the provision for income taxes reflected the higher level of pre-tax income and lower tax-exempt interest income and earnings on BOLI. The increase in the effective tax rate in the first half of 2019 compared to the first half of 2018 was also due to a higher level of discrete tax benefits in 2018 from the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock. These discrete tax benefits reduced the effective tax rate by approximately 0.7% in the first half of 2019 versus 2.3% in the same period in 2017. The declines for the 2018 periods compared to the priora year periods reflect the reductionago. Discrete tax benefits were higher in the federal corporate income tax ratefirst half of 2018 due to higher nonqualified stock option exercise activity from 35% to 21% related to the enactmentformer employees of the Tax Cuts and Jobs ActBank of 2017 that was signed into law on December 22, 2017, effective January 1, 2018.Napa post-acquisition. Income tax provisions reflect accruals for taxes at the applicable rates for federal income tax and California franchise tax based upon reported pre-tax income, and adjusted for the effects of all permanent differences between income for tax and financial reporting purposes (such as earnings on tax exempt loans and municipal securities, BOLI, and low-income housing tax credits) as well as transactions with discrete tax effects (such as the exercise of stock options, the disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards). The resulting reduction in the federal statutory rate was partially offset by the effect of the higher level of expected pre-tax income in 2018 and elimination or reductions to the deductibility of certain meals, entertainment, parking and transportation expenses due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We expect the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to be indicative of the effective tax rate for the year, not including the effect of discrete items described above.


We file a consolidated return in the U.S. Federal tax jurisdiction and a combined return in the State of California tax jurisdiction. There were no ongoing federal or state income tax examinations at the issuance of this report. At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, neither the Bank nor Bancorp had accruals for interest nor penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.


FINANCIAL CONDITION SUMMARY


At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, assets totaled $2,545.7$2,464.0 million, an increasea decrease of $77.6$56.9 million, when compared to $2,468.2 million atfrom December 31, 2017. Excess cash was2018, mainly deployed into investment securities and new loans during the first nine months of 2018 as discussed below.reflecting deposit outflows.


Investment Securities


The investment securities portfolio totaled $569.8$527.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2018, an increase2019, a decrease of $86.3$92.7 million from December 31, 2017.2018. The increasedecrease reflects year-to-date purchases of investment securities that are either issued or guaranteed by the US government totaling $176.6 million, which were offset bycalls, paydowns, maturities and sales totaling $78.8$116.1 million, amortizationpartially offset by purchases of premiums net$11.3 million in 2019. We sold $66 million in lower yielding, shorter term securities during the first half of accretion of discounts totaling $2.2 million, and a $9.4 million net increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities. During the second quarter of 2018, as part of2019 to manage our ongoing review of our investment securities portfolio, we reassessed the classification of certain securities issued by government sponsored agencies and transferred $27.4 million of these securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity at fair value. We maintain liquidity to support our future loan growth by holding investment securities averaging less than 5 years durationinterest rate spread and cash earning 2.20% at the Federal Reserve Bank as of September 30, 2018.position.

The portion of the portfolio outside the state of California is distributed among twenty states. Of the total investment in obligations of state and political subdivisions, the largest concentrations outside California are Washington (12.2%Texas (22.1%), Texas (11.4%Washington (8.1%), and Minnesota (8.9%Wisconsin (7.9%). Revenue bonds, both within and outside California, primarily consist of bonds relating to essential services (such as public improvements, transportation and utilities) and school district bonds.


Investments in states, municipalities and political subdivisions are subject to an initial pre-purchase credit assessment and ongoing monitoring. Key considerations include:


The soundness of a municipality’s budgetary position and stability of its tax revenues
Debt profile and level of unfunded liabilities, diversity of revenue sources, taxing authority of the issuer
Local demographics/economics including unemployment data, largest taxpayers and local employers, income indices and home values
For revenue bonds, the source and strength of revenue for municipal authorities including the obligor’s financial condition and reserve levels, annual debt service and debt coverage ratio, and credit enhancement (such as insurer’s strength and collateral in escrow accounts)
Credit ratings by major credit rating agencies


Loans


Loans increased by $49.9$1.0 million and totaled $1,728.9$1,764.9 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2018, compared to $1,679.0 million at December 31, 2017.2019. New loan originations in the first nine months of 2018 of $165.8 million were primarily in commercial real estate, including both owner-occupied and investor-owned, spread throughout our markets, and tenancy-in-common fractional interest loans. Loan pay-offs totaled $52.0 million in the third quarter and $120.8 year-to-date. Year-to-date payoffs were slightly higher than 2017 and were due to a variety of reasons, primarily asset sales and refinancing activities.

Liabilities

During the first nine months of 2018, total liabilities increased by $66.0 million to $2,237.1 million. Deposits increased $64.2$76.1 million in the first ninesix months of 2018,2019 were distributed across Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking. Loan payoffs totaled $69.3 million in the first six months. The largest portion of payoffs in 2019 reflected the sale of assets underlying loans and the successful completion of construction projects.

Liabilities

During the first six months of 2019, total liabilities decreased by $68.2 million to $2,136.3 million. Deposits decreased $72.8 million in the first six months of 2019, primarily due to fluctuations from large commercial clients' operational cash flows. The largest decrease in deposit type was money market accounts of $32.2 million. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $95.8decreased $9.4 million in the first ninesix months of 20182019 to $1,109.9$1,056.7 million, or 50.2%and represented 50.3% of total deposits at SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, compared to 47.2%49.0% at December 31, 2017.2018. We repaid a $7.0 million overnight borrowing from FHLB at year end of 2018. Liabilities as of June 30, 2019 included operating lease liabilities totaling $14.3 million that were recorded in 2019 after the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, as discussed in Notes 2 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements.




Capital Adequacy
 
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements as set forth in the following tables can initiate certain mandatory and possibly


additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our consolidated 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 certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and the Bank’s prompt corrective action classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components of capital, risk weightings and other factors.
 
Management reviews capital ratios on a regular basis to ensure that capital exceeds the prescribed regulatory minimums and is adequate to meet our anticipated future needs.  For all periods presented, the Bank’s ratios exceed the regulatory definition of “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action and Bancorp’s ratios exceed the required minimum ratios to be considered a well-capitalized bank holding company. In addition, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. There are no conditions or events since that notification that Management believes have changed the Bank’s categories and we expect the Bank to remain well capitalized for prompt corrective action purposes.


In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("Agencies") finalized regulatory capital rules known as “Basel III.” The rules became effective beginningFully phased in on January 2015, and will be fully phased-in by January 2019. The guidelines, among other things, changed1, 2019, Basel III required the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum capital requirementsratio of banks and bank holding companies, by increasing the Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio to 6%of at least 8.5%, and introduced a new requirement to maintain(ii) a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%. By 2019, when fully phased in,at least 7.0%, both inclusive of a 2.50% “capital conservation buffer." The implementation of the rules will require further increases to certain minimum capital requirements and a capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and was phased in over a four-year period (increasing by 0.625% each subsequent January 1, until it reached 2.50% on January 1, 2019). In August 2018, the Board of an additional 2.5%Governors of risk-weighted assets.

We have modeled our ratios under the fully phased-in Basel III rules, and based on present facts andFederal Reserve System changed the recently announced $25 million share repurchase program, we do not expect that we will be requireddefinition of a "Small Bank Holding Company" by increasing the asset threshold from $1.0 billion to raise additional capital as$3.0 billion. As a result, of the fully phased-in rules.Bancorp is no longer subject to separate minimum capital requirements. However, we disclosed comparative capital ratios for Bancorp, which would have exceeded well-capitalized levels had Bancorp been subject to minimum capital requirements.


The Bancorp’s and Bank’s capital adequacy ratios as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 are presented in the following tables. Bancorp's Tier 1 capital includes the subordinated debentures, which are not included at the Bank level. We continued to build capital in 2018 through the accumulation of net income. Our Share Repurchase Program announced on April 23, 2018 may affect future capital levels, as described in Item 1. Note 7, Stockholders Equity, of this Form 10-Q.

Liquidity
 
The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet loan demand and to fund operating activities and deposit withdrawals. We accomplish this goal by maintaining an appropriate level of liquid assets and formal lines of credit with the FHLB, FRBSF and correspondent banks that enable us to borrow funds as discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in ITEM 1 of this report. Our Asset Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which is comprised of independent Bank directors and the President and Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for approving and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies. ALCO has adopted a contingency funding plan that provides early detection of potential liquidity issues in the market or the Bank and institutes prompt responses that may prevent or alleviate a potential liquidity crisis. Management monitors liquidity daily and regularly adjusts our position based on current and future liquidity needs. We also have relationships with third party deposit networks and can adjust the placement of our deposits via reciprocal or one-way sales, as part of our cash management strategy.
 
We obtain funds from the repayment and maturity of loans, deposit inflows, investment security maturities and paydowns, federal funds purchases, FHLB advances, other borrowings, and cash flow from operations.  Our primary uses of funds are the origination of loans, the purchase of investment securities, withdrawals of deposits, maturity of certificates of deposit, repayment of borrowings and dividends to common stockholders.
 
The most significant factor in our daily liquidity position has been the level of customer deposits. We attract and retain new deposits, which depends upon the variety and effectiveness of our customer account products, service and convenience, and rates paid to customers, as well as our financial strength. The cash cycles of some of our large commercial depositors (including local government agencies) may cause short-term fluctuations in their deposit balances held with us.




At SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 our liquid assets, which included unencumbered available-for-sale securities and cash, totaled $496.4$377.1 million, a decrease of $5.6$56.1 million from December 31, 2017.2018. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased $60.8increased $24.5 million from December 31, 2017.2018. Significant sources of liquidity during the first six months of 2019 included $116.1 million in paydowns, maturities and sales of investment securities, and $16.9 million net cash provided by operating activities. Significant uses of liquidity during the first ninesix months of 2018 were $176.62019 included a $72.8 million decrease in deposits, $11.3 million in investment securities purchased, $50.3$10.5 million in loan originations and advances, netcommon stock repurchases, $7.0 million repayment of repayments, $6.4borrowing from FHLB, $5.2 million in cash dividends paid on common stock to our shareholders, and $1.3$1.9 million in common stock repurchases. Significant sourcespurchases of liquidity during the first nine months of 2018 included $78.8 million in paydowns, maturities and sales of investment securities, an increase in deposits of $64.2 million, and $31.3 million net cash provided by operating activities.bank-owned life insurance policies. Refer to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our sources and uses of liquidity. Management anticipates that our current strong liquidity position and core deposit base will provide adequate liquidity to fund our operations.


Undrawn credit commitments, as discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, totaled $483.3$483.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. These commitments, to the extent used, are expected to be funded primarily through the repayment of existing loans, deposit growth and liquid assets. Over the next twelve months, $83.2$66.1 million of time deposits will mature. We expect new deposits to replace these funds. Our emphasis on local deposits combined with our equity position, provides a very stable funding base.
 


Since Bancorp is a holding company and does not conduct regular banking operations, its primary sources of liquidity are dividends from the Bank. Under the California Financial Code, payment of a dividend from the Bank to Bancorp without advance regulatory approval is restricted to the lesser of the Bank’s retained earnings or the amount of the Bank’s net profits from the previous three fiscal years less the amount of dividends paid during that period. The primary uses of funds for Bancorp are shareholder dividends and ordinary operating expenses.  Bancorp held $31.3$13.0 million of cash at SeptemberJune 30, 2018, which2019. Combined with a dividend distribution from the bank in July 2019 of $7.2 million, the cash level at Bancorp is deemed sufficient to cover Bancorp's operational needs, share repurchases, early redemption of subordinated debentures, and cash dividends to shareholders through the end of 2018.next twelve months. Management anticipates that therethe Bank will becontinue to have sufficient earnings at the Bank to provide dividends to Bancorp to meet its funding requirements for the near future.going forward.


ITEM 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about MarketRisk


Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from an adverse change in the market value (or prices) of financial instruments. A significant form of market risk is interest rate risk, which is inherent in our investment, borrowing, lending and deposit gathering activities. The Bank manages interest rate sensitivity to minimize the exposure of our net interest margin, earnings, and capital to changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes can create fluctuations in the net interest margin due to an imbalance in the timing of repricing or maturity of assets or liabilities.

We expect our net interest margin to increase if rates go up, primarily due to our cash earning the Federal Funds rate, adjustable rate loans and our significant non-interest bearing deposit base. Our net interest income remains most vulnerable to a falling interest rate environment.


To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of the Consolidated Statement of Condition is managed with the objective of correlating the effects of interest rate changes on loans and investments with those of deposits and borrowings. The asset liability management policy sets limits on the acceptable amount of change to net interest income and economic value of equity under a variety ofin different interest rate scenarios.environments.


From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap contracts to mitigate the changes in the fair value of specified long-term fixed-rate loans and firm commitments to enter into long-term fixed-rate loans caused by changes in interest rates. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.


ALCO and the Board of Directors review our exposure to interest rate risk at least quarterly. We use simulation models to measure interest rate risk and to evaluate strategies to improve profitability. A simplified static statement of condition is prepared on a quarterly basis as a starting point, using instrument level data of our actual loans, investments, borrowings and deposits as inputs. If potential changes to net equity value and net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within the limits established by the Board of Directors, Management may adjust the asset and liability mix to bring the risk position within approved limits or take other actions. At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, interest rate risk was within policy guidelines established by ALCO and the Board.

One set of interest rates modeled and evaluated against flat interest rates is a series of immediate parallel shifts in the yield curve. These are provided in the following table as an example rather than an expectation of likely interest rate movements.

down 100(6.0)%(10.1)%(3.9)%(7.7)%
down 200(7.7)%(16.4)%


Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities. The Bank runs a combination of scenarios and sensitivities in its attempt to capture the range of interest rate risk including the simulations mentioned above. As with any simulation model or other method of measuring interest rate risk, limitations are inherent in the process and dependent on assumptions. For example, if we choose to pay interest on certain business deposits that are currently non-interest bearing, causing thesethose deposits to become rate sensitive in the future, we would become less asset sensitive than the model currently indicates. Assets and liabilities may react differently to changes in market interest rates in terms of both timing and responsiveness to market rate movements. Important deposit modeling assumptions are the speed of deposit run-off and the amount by which interest-bearing deposit rates increase or decrease when market interest rates change. Further, the actual rates and timing of prepayments on loans and


investment securities and the behavior of depositors, could vary significantly from the assumptions applied in the various scenarios. Lastly, changes in U.S. Treasury rates accompanied by a change in the shape of the yield curve could produce different results from those presented in the table. Accordingly, the results presented should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results in the event of changing market interest rates.
