Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanyingCaptive, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a Nevada-based captive insurance company that provides insurance against certain risks unique to operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance marketplace. The Captive pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves. The Captive is subject to regulations of the State of Nevada and undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance. It has elected to be taxed under Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to Section 831(b), if gross premiums do not exceed $2,450,000, then the Captive is taxable solely on its investment income. The Captive is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and its federal income tax return.

As a result of its acquisition of CB on March 7, 2022, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of the following unconsolidated Delaware trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS.

Also as a result of its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc., Bancorp acquired a 60% interest in LFA, which is based in Bowling Green, Kentucky and provides wealth management services. LFA is consolidated into the Company. The non-controlling interest within the consolidated financial statements represents the interest in LFA not owned by Bancorp.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.

Critical Accounting Policies and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company (“Bank”). Significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In preparing the unaudited consolidatedEstimates – To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required tomust make estimates and assumptions that require difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, including pandemic-related changes, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

Bancorp’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the accounting policies considered the most critical in preparing Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements are the determination of the ACL on loans and goodwill.

Effective January 1, 2020, Bancorp adopted ASC 326Financial Instruments Credit Losses,” which created material changes to Bancorp’s existing critical accounting policy that existed prior to adoption. Accounting policies relating to credit losses for HTM investment securities, loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures reflect the current accounting policies required by this ASC.

The ACL for loans is established through credit loss expense charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the ACL reflects management’s estimate of the net amount not expected to be collected on the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date over the life of the loan. The ACL is comprised of specific reserves assigned to certain loans that do not share general risk characteristics and general reserves on pools of loans that do share general risk characteristics. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower and more specifically, changes in the expected future receipt of principal and interest payments and/or in the value of pledged collateral. A specific reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans.

For purposes of establishing the general reserve, Bancorp stratifies the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and calculates the net amount expected to be collected over the life of the loans to estimate the credit losses in the loan portfolio. Bancorp’s methodologies for estimating the ACL for loans consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Accounting for Business AcquisitionsBancorp accounts for acquisitions in accordance with the acquisition method as outlined in ASC Topic 805,Business Combinations.” The acquisition method requires: a) identification of the entity that obtains control of the acquiree; b) determination of the acquisition date; c) recognition and measurement of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and d) recognition and measurement of goodwill or bargain purchase gain.

Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in acquirees are generally recognized at their acquisition-date (“day-one”) fair values based on the requirements of ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The measurement period for day-one fair values begins on the acquisition date and ends at the earlier of: (a) the day management believes it has all the information necessary to determine day-one fair values; or (b) one year following the acquisition date. In many cases, the determination of day-one fair values requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly complex and subjective in nature and subject to recast adjustments, which are retrospective adjustments to reflect new information existing at the acquisition date affecting day-one fair values. More specifically, these provisional period adjustments may be made, as market value data, such as valuations, are received by the Bank. Increases or decreases to day-one fair values are reflected with a corresponding increase or decrease to bargain purchase gain or goodwill.

Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred unless those costs are related to issuing debt or equity securities used to finance the acquisition.

Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, FFS and interest bearing due from banks as segregated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Debt SecuritiesBancorp determines the classification of debt securities at the time of purchase. Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as AFS and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported amountsin AOCI, net of tax.

12

Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific-identification method. Amortization of premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income over the period to maturity using the interest method, except for premiums on callable debt securities, which are amortized to their earliest call date.

Bancorp has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of debt securities and reports accrued interest separately in the consolidated balance sheets. A debt security is placed on non-accrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become more than 90 days delinquent or if full collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. Accrued interest for a security placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. There was no accrued interest related to debt securities reversed against interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

ACL – AFS Debt Securities – For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, Bancorp evaluates the securities to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or non-credit related factors. Any impairment that is not credit-related is recognized in AOCI, net of tax. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an ACL for AFS debt securities on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Both the ACL for AFS debt securities and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if Bancorp intends to sell an impaired AFS debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount would be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis. Because the security’s amortized cost basis is adjusted to fair value, there is no ACL for AFS debt securities in this situation.

In evaluating AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, Bancorp considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers’ financial condition, among other factors. There were no credit related factors underlying unrealized losses on AFS debt securities at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Changes in the ACL for AFS debt securities are recorded as expense. Losses are charged against the ACL for AFS debt securities when management believes the uncollectability of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

ACL – HTM Debt Securities – Bancorp measures expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. Accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities totaled $731,000 and $0 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is excluded from the ACL on HTM securities. The estimate of the ACL for HTM securities considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no ACL for HTM securities was recorded.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale and Mortgage Banking Activities – Effective March 31, 2022, Bancorp elected to begin carrying mortgages originated and intended for sale in the secondary at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Mortgage loans held for sale prior to March 31, 2022 were carried at the lower of cost or market value. Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale are recorded as a component of Mortgage banking income and represent the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the loans sold. Substantially all of the gains or losses on the sale of loans are reported in earnings when the interest rates on loans are locked.

Commitments to fund mortgage loans (“interest rate lock commitments”) to be sold into the secondary market and non-exchange traded mandatory forward sales contracts (“forward contracts”) for the future delivery of these mortgage loans or the purchase of TBA securities are accounted for as free-standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the Bank enters into the derivative. Generally, the Bank enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans or the purchase of TBA securities when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in the fair values of these mortgage derivatives are included in net gains on sales of loans, which is a component of Mortgage banking income on the income statement.

13

Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with the MSRs retained. When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded as component of Mortgage banking income. Fair value is based on the market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method, which requires servicing rights to be amortized into Mortgage banking income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Amortization of MSRs are initially set at seven years and are periodically adjusted based on the weighted average remaining life of the underlying loans.

A primary factor influencing the fair value is the estimated life of the underlying serviced loans. The estimated life of the serviced loans is significantly influenced by market interest rates. During a period of declining interest rates, the fair value of the MSRs generally decline due to higher expected prepayments within the portfolio. Alternatively, during a period of rising interest rates, the fair value of MSRs generally will increase, as prepayments on the underlying loans would be expected to decline.

Loan servicing income is reported on the income statement as a component of Mortgage banking income. Loan servicing income is recorded as loan payments are collected and includes servicing fees from investors and certain charges collected from borrowers. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan, and are recorded as income when earned. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are considered nominal.

LoansLoans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost basis, which is the unpaid principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred loan fees and costs, premiums and discounts associated with acquisition date fair value adjustments on acquired loans and any direct partial charge-offs. Bancorp has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of loans and report accrued interest separately from the related loan balance in the consolidated balance sheets.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain assetsdirect origination costs, are deferred and liabilitiesrecognized in interest income over the life of the loan without anticipating prepayments.

Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal and/or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement or any portion thereof remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. The accrual of interest income on loans is typically discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and disclosurein process of contingent assetscollection, or if full collection of interest or principal becomes doubtful. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. All interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and liabilitiesinterest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Acquired loans are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition based on a DCF methodology that considers various factors including the financial statementstype of loan and reported amountsrelated collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of related revenuesloan and expenses duringwhether or not the reporting period. Actual results could differ from thoseloan was amortizing, and a discount rate reflecting Bancorp’s assessment of risk inherent in the cash flow estimates. MaterialCertain larger purchased loans are individually evaluated while certain purchased loans are grouped together according to similar risk characteristics and are treated in aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. These cash flow evaluations are inherently subjective, as they require material estimates, that are particularlyall of which may be susceptible to significant changechange.

Loans acquired in a business combination that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are considered PCD loans. At the acquisition date, an estimate of expected credit losses is made for groups of PCD loans with similar risk characteristics and individual PCD loans without similar risk characteristics. This initial ACL is allocated to individual PCD loans and added to the purchase price or acquisition date fair values to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the PCD loans. As the initial ACL is added to the purchase price, there is no credit loss expense recognized upon acquisition of a PCD loan. Any difference between the unpaid principal balance of PCD loans and the amortized cost basis is considered to relate to determinationnon-credit factors and results in a discount or premium. Discounts and premiums are recognized through interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the allowanceloans.

Acquired loans are determined by Bancorp to have more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination if any of the following designations apply, listed in order of priority as follows: Loans individually analyzed by Bancorp and determined to have a collateral or cash flow deficiency resulting in a full or partial allocation for loan losses, valuationloss, loans placed on non-accrual status by the acquired institution, loans identified as TDRs by the acquired institution, loans that have received a partial charge off by the acquired institution, loans risk-rated below a “pass” grade by the acquired institution and any loans past due 59 days or more at the time of available-for sale securities, other real estate owned and income tax assets, and estimated liabilities and expense.acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policiesacquisition date.

 

The subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for all acquired loans is the same as the subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for originated loans.

ACL Loans – Under the CECL model, the ACL for loans represents a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with GAAP that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to represent the net amount expected to be collected on the loan portfolio.

Bancorp estimates the ACL for loanloans based on the underlying assets’ amortized cost basis, which is the amount at which the receivable is originated or acquired, adjusted for applicable accretion or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs, collection of payment, and partial charge-offs. In the event that collection of principal becomes uncertain, Bancorp has policies in place to reverse accrued interest in a timely manner. Therefore, Bancorp has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of the ACL for loans.

Expected credit losses is management’s estimate of probable losses inherentare reflected in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes uncollectabilityACL for loans through a charge to provision. When Bancorp deems all or a portion of a loan balancefinancial asset to be uncollectible, the appropriate amount is confirmed.written-off and the ACL for loans is reduced by the same amount. Bancorp applies judgment to determine when a financial asset is deemed uncollectible; however, generally speaking, an asset will be considered uncollectible no later than when all efforts of collection have been exhausted and the collateral, if any, has been liquidated. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.ACL for loans when received.

 

ManagementBancorp’s methodologies for estimating the ACL for loans consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The methodologies apply historical loss information, adjusted for asset-specific characteristics, economic conditions at the measurement date, and forecasts about future economic conditions expected to exist through the contractual lives of the financial assets that are reasonable and supportable to the identified pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for which the historical loss experience was observed. Bancorp’s methodologies may revert to historical loss information on a straight-line basis over a number of quarters when it can no longer develop reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Loans are predominantly segmented by FDIC Call Report Codes into loan pools that have similar risk characteristics, similar collateral type and are assumed to pose consistent risk of loss to Bancorp. Bancorp has identified the accounting policy related tofollowing pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for measuring expected credit losses:

Commercial Real Estate Owner Occupied Includes non-farm non-residential real estate loans for a variety of commercial property types and purposes, and is typically secured by commercial offices, industrial buildings, warehouses or retail buildings where the allowance and provision for loan losses as critical toowner of the understandingbuilding occupies the property. The primary source of Bancorp’s results ofrepayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and discussedactivities conducted by the party (or affiliate) who owns the property. Repayment terms vary considerably; interest rates are fixed or variable and structured for full or partial amortization of principal.

Commercial Real Estate Non-Owner Occupied Includes investment real estate loans secured by similar collateral as above. The primary source of income for this conclusionloan type is typically rental income associated with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Since application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates, it could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditionsproperty. This category also includes apartment or underlying circumstances were to change. The provision for loan losses reflects an allowance methodology drivenmultifamily residential buildings (secured by risk ratings, historical losses, specific loan loss allocations, and qualitative factors. Assumptions include many factors such as changes in borrowers’ financial condition which can change quicklyfive or historical loss ratios related to certain loan portfolios which may or may not be indicative of future losses. In the first quarter of 2017, Bancorp extended the historical period used to capture Bancorp’s historical loss ratios from 24 quarters to 28 quarters. This extension of the historical period was applied to all classes and segments of the portfolio. The expansion of the look-back period for the historical loss rates used in the quantitative allocation caused management to review the overall methodology for the qualitative factors to ensure Bancorp was appropriately capturing the risk not addressed in the historical loss rates used in the quantitative allocation, resulting in the same expansion of the look-back period for the qualitative factors. Management believes the extension of the look-back period is appropriate to capture the impact of a full economic cycle and more accurately represents the current level of risk inherent in the loan portfolio. To the extent that management’s assumptions prove incorrect, results from operations could be materially affected by a higher or lower provision for loan losses. The accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses is applicable to the commercial banking segment of Bancorp. The impact and any associated risks related to this policy on Bancorp’s business operations are discussed in the “Allowance for Loan Losses” section below.dwelling units).

Construction and Land Development Consists of loans to finance the ground up construction or improvement of owner occupied and non-owner occupied residential and commercial properties and loans secured by raw or improved land. The repayment of C&D loans is generally dependent upon the successful completion of the improvements by the builder for the end user, the leasing of the property, or sale of the property to a third party. Repayment of land secured loans is dependent upon the successful development and sale of the property, the sale of the land as is, or the outside cash flow of the owners to support the retirement of the debt. Bancorp’s construction loans may convert to real estate-secured loans once construction is completed or principal amortization payments begin, assuming the borrower retains financing with the Bank.

 

Stock YardsCommercial and Industrial Represents loans for C&I purposes to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations and other business enterprises, whether secured (other than those that meet the definition of a “loan secured by real estate”) or unsecured, single payment or installment. This category includes loans originated for financing capital expenditures, loans secured by accounts receivable, inventory and other business assets such as equipment in addition to non-real estate loans guaranteed by the SBA. Bancorp inc.originates these loans for a variety of purposes across various industries. This portfolio has been segregated between term loans and subsidiaryrevolving lines of credits based on the varied characteristics of these individual loan structures.

 

Residential Real Estate Includes non-revolving (closed-end) first and junior lien loans secured by residential real estate primarily in Bancorp’s market areas. This portfolio is segregated between owner occupied and non-owner occupied status, as the investment nature of the latter poses additional credit risks to Bancorp.

Home Equity Lines of Credit – Similar to Residential Real Estate above, however these are revolving (open-ended) lines of credit.

Consumer Represents loans to individuals for personal expenditures that may be secured or unsecured. This includes pre-arranged overdraft plans, secured automobile loans and other consumer-purpose loans.

Leases Represents a variety of leasing options to businesses to acquire equipment.

Credit Cards Represents revolving loans to businesses and consumers.

 

Bancorp’s allowance calculation includes allocations to measures expected credit losses for its loan portfolio segments as follows:

Based on the 100% SBA guarantee of the PPP loan portfolio, Bancorp does not generally reserve for potential losses for these loans within the ACL.

Discounted Cash flow Method – The DCF methodology is used to develop cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speeds, curtailments, time to recovery, probability of default and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates and time to recovery are based on historical internal data.

16

Bancorp uses regression analysis on historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes the FRB’s forecasted Seasonally Adjusted National Civilian Unemployment Rate as its primary loss driver, as this was determined to best correlate to historical losses.

With regard to the DCF model and the adoption of CECL, management determined that four quarters represented a reasonable and supportable forecast period with reversion back to a historical loss rate over eight quarters on a straight-line basis. However, in response to uncertainty surrounding the magnitude and duration of the economic crisis created by the pandemic, management subsequently determined that a one-quarter forecast period with a reversion back to a historical loss rate in the following quarter was appropriate for the calculation performed at March 31, 2020. For the calculation performed at June 30, 2020, management elected to return to the four quarter forecast period with reversion back to a historical loss rate in the following quarter, which was the methodology used for all subsequent calculations through June 30, 2021. Beginning with the calculation performed as of September 30, 20172021, management concluded that increasing the reversion period back to a historical loss rate over four quarters on a straight line basis was warranted, as both current and forecasted unemployment levels had become more normal.

The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Instrument effective yield is calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level NPV of expected cash flows. An ACL is established for the difference between the instrument’s NPV and amortized cost basis.

Static Pool Method – The static pool methodology is utilized for the loan portfolio segments that typically have shorter durations. For each of these loan segments, Bancorp applies an expected loss ratio based on historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative loss factors. Qualitative loss factors including, among other factors, local economicare based on management's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and business conditions in each of our primary markets, quality and experience of lending staff and management, exceptions to lending policies, levels of and trends in past dueadversely rated loans and loan classifications, concentrationsreasonable and supportable forecasts of credit such aseconomic conditions.

Collateral Dependent Loans – Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For collateral type, trends in portfolio growth, changes independent loans where Bancorp has determined that the liquidation or foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and Bancorp expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation of the business or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the estimated fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the NPV of expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized costs basis of the financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, effectless estimated cost to sell. The ACL may be zero if the fair value of other external factors such as the national economic and business trends, quality and depthcollateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of loan. Bancorp’s estimate of the ACL reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the loan review function, and management’s judgementthe contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications.

A loan that has been modified or renewed is considered a TDR when two conditions are met: 1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and 2) concessions are made for the borrower's benefit that would not otherwise be considered for a borrower or transaction with similar credit risk characteristics. TDRs are evaluated individually to determine the required ACL. TDRs performing in accordance with their modified contractual terms for a reasonable period may be included in Bancorp’s existing pools based on the underlying risk characteristics of current trendsthe loan to measure the ACL.

Premises and potential risks. EquipmentPremises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to 40 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over terms of the related leases, including expected renewals, or over the useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized.

FHLB StockBancorp utilizesis a member institution of the sumFHLB. Members are required to own a certain amount of all allowancestock based on the level of borrowings and other factors and may invest in additional amounts derivedof stock. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as described abovea restricted security and annually evaluated for impairment. Because this stock is viewed as a long-term investment, impairment is based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are recorded as interest income.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets– Goodwill resulting from business acquisitions represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate a goodwill impairment test should be performed.

Bancorp has selected September 30 as the appropriate leveldate to perform its annual goodwill impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the Bank’s balance sheet.

Currently, goodwill recorded on Bancorp’s consolidated balance sheets is attributed mainly to the Commercial Banking segment, while a portion is also attributed to the WM&T segment. Goodwill related to the KSB acquisition is deductible for tax purposes, as it was structured as an asset sale/338 election. Goodwill related to the CB and KB acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes, as both were structured as stock sales. Based on its assessment, Bancorp believes its goodwill balances at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were not impaired and are properly recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Other intangible assets consist of allowanceCDI and CLI assets arising from business acquisitions. The CDI and CLI assets represent customer relationships associated with acquired deposit portfolios and WM&T businesses, respectively. CDI and CLI assets are initially measured at fair value and then amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives.

Other Assets– BOLI and other life insurance policies are carried at net realizable value, which considers applicable surrender charges. Bancorp also maintains life insurance policies in conjunction with its non-qualified defined benefit and non-qualified compensation plans.

OREO is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value minus estimated selling costs. In certain situations, improvements to prepare assets for sale are capitalized if those costs increase the estimated fair value of the asset. Expenses incurred in maintaining assets, write downs to reflect subsequent declines in value, and realized gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations and are included in non-interest income and/or expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures – Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to originate loans, commitments to fund existing loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer-financing needs. Off-balance sheet refers to assets or liabilities that do not appear on a company's balance sheet. Bancorp’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Bancorp records an ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to credit loss expense for off-balance sheet credit exposures included in provision for credit losses on Bancorp’s consolidated statements of income. The ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan portfolio segment at each balance sheet date under the current CECL model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur and lease losses. Changesis included in criteria used in this evaluation or availability of new information could cause the allowance to be increased or decreased in future periods. In addition, bank regulatory agencies,other liabilities on Bancorp’s consolidated balance sheets.

Derivatives– Bancorp uses derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, as part of its interest rate risk management. GAAP establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. As required by GAAP, Bancorp’s interest rate swaps are recognized as other assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Accounting for changes in fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. To qualify for hedge accounting, Bancorp must comply with detailed rules and documentation requirements at inception of the hedge, and hedge effectiveness is assessed at inception and periodically throughout the life of each hedging relationship. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is measured periodically throughout the life of the hedging relationship.

18

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative is initially reported in AOCI and subsequently reclassified to interest income or expense when the hedged transaction affects earnings, while the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of derivative, if any, is recognized immediately in other noninterest income. Bancorp assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing cumulative changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with cumulative changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. No component of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Periodically, Bancorp enters into an interest rate swap transaction with a borrower, who desires to hedge exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching terms, with another approved independent counterparty. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts and collateral provisions mitigating any non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have an insignificant effect on earnings. These derivative instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.

Bancorp had no fair value hedging relationships at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Bancorp does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. See the Footnote titled “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional discussion.

Transfers of Financial AssetsTransfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from Bancorp, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and Bancorp does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their examination process, may require adjustmentsmaturity.

Stock-Based Compensation– For all awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the period in which it is earned based on the grant-date fair value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest, reduced for estimated forfeitures at the time of grant. GAAP requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes– Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in DTAs and DTLs. DTAs and DTLs are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted statutory tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces DTAs to the allowanceamount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

Bancorp recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense, if any.

Bancorp periodically invests in certain partnerships with customers that yield historic tax credits, accounted for using the flow through method, which approximates the equity method. Low-income housing tax credits, as well as tax-deductible losses, are accounted for using the effective yield method for older transactions or proportional amortization method for more recent transactions. The tax benefit of these investments exceeds the amortization expense associated with them, resulting in a positive impact on net income.

Net Income Per ShareBasic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutive options and SARs, assuming proceeds are used to repurchase shares under the treasury stock method.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances outside of the Company’s control. For Bancorp, this includes net income, changes in unrealized gains and losses on AFS debt securities and cash flow hedging instruments, net of reclassification adjustments and taxes, and minimum pension liability adjustments, net of taxes.

19

Loss Contingencies– Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any outstanding matters that would have a material effect on the financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash and Cash Equivalents– Bancorp has historically been required by the FRB to maintain average reserve balances. Effective March 26, 2020, the FRB reduced the reserve requirement ratio to 0% in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, eliminating reserve requirements for all depository institutions. The reserve requirement ratio remained at 0% as of September 30, 2022.

The Company’s captive maintains cash reserves to cover insurable claims. Reserves totaled $200,000 as of September 30, 2022.

Dividend Restrictions– Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Holding Company or by the Holding Company to shareholders.

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsFair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as disclosed in the Footnote titled “Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value” in this section of the filing. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect such estimates.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers–The majority of Bancorp’s revenue comes from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities, and derivatives, which are not subject to ASC 606. Bancorp’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within non-interest income and are recognized as revenue as Bancorp satisfies its obligation to its customer.

Segment InformationBancorp provides a broad range of financial services to individuals, corporations and others through its full service banking locations. These services include loan losses basedand deposit services, cash management services, securities brokerage activities, mortgage origination and WM&T activities. Bancorp’s operations are considered by management to be aggregated in two reportable operating segments: Commercial Banking and WM&T.

ReclassificationsCertain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on their judgmentspreviously reported prior periods’ net income or shareholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting GuidanceThe FASB issued ASU No.2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” in March 2020. The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. It provides optional expedients and estimates.exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The main provisions include:

 

(2)

SecuritiesA change in a contract’s reference interest rate would be accounted for as a continuation of that contract rather than as the creation of a new one for contracts, including loans, debt, leases and other arrangements, that meet specific criteria.

When updating its hedging strategies in response to reference rate reform, an entity would be allowed to preserve its hedge accounting.

 

The guidance is applicable only to contracts or hedge accounting relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Because the guidance is meant to help entities through the transition period, it will be in effect for a limited time and will not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, for which an entity has elected certain optional expedients that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this ASU are effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

In May 2020, the SEC issued a final rule related to acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and related pro forma information. The rule revised the circumstances that require financial statements and related pro forma information for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses. The intent of the rule is to allow for more meaningful conclusions on when an acquired or disposed business is significant as well as to improve the related disclosure requirements. The changes are intended to improve disclosure. The final rule was effective January 1, 2021.

Accounting Standards UpdatesGenerally, if an issued but not yet effective ASU with an expected immaterial impact to Bancorp has been disclosed in prior SEC filings, it will not be re-disclosed.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security should not be considered in measuring fair value. It also requires the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: 1) the fair value of the equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet; 2) the natures and remaining duration of the restriction(s); and 3) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). ASU 2022-03 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively. ASU 2022-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02,Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs in ASC 310-40,Receivables Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” for entities that have adopted the CECL model introduced by ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20,Financial Instruments Credit Losses Measured at Amortized Cost.The new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08,Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities From Contracts With Customers, to address diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the accounting for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The amendments require that the acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The ASU also provides certain practical expedients for acquirers when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination and applies to contract assets and contract liabilities from other contracts to which the provisions of Topic 606 apply. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, including any interim period, for public business entities for periods which financial statements have not yet been issued, and for all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

l.

Adjustment to reflect the estimated fair value of subordinated debentures for differences in interest rates, which was based primarily on an analysis of market interest rates and maturity dates at the time of acquisition.

m.

Adjustment to other liabilities to establish the reserve for unfunded loan commitments under CECL, operating lease liabilities and various accrual adjustments.

Goodwill of approximately $67 million, which is the excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired, was recorded in the CB acquisition and is the result of expected operational synergies and other factors. This goodwill is attributable to the Company’s Commercial Banking and Wealth Management & Trust segments. Goodwill related to the CB acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes, as the transaction was structured as stock sale. To the extent that management revises any of the above fair value adjustments as a result of its continuing evaluation, the amount of goodwill recorded in the CB acquisition will change.

Loans acquired that were not subject to guidance relating to PCD loans include loans with a fair value and gross contractual amounts receivable of $540 million and $549 million at the date of acquisition.

Total revenue, defined as net interest income and non-interest income, attributed to CB totaled approximately $11.9 million and $26.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Bancorp elected to classify a portion of securities purchased and acquired during the first quarter of 2022 as HTM. This election was made in an effort to lessen the impact that the rising interest rate environment has on the valuation of the AFS debt securities portfolio, and ultimately its impact on capital through AOCI. No debt securities were noclassified as HTM at December 31, 2021.

All investment securities classified as held to maturityHTM by Bancorp as of September 30, 2017 2022 are obligations of the U.S. Government and/or December 31, 2016.are issued by U.S. Government-sponsored agencies and have an implicit or explicit government guarantee.

Applicable dates for determining when securities are in an unrealized and unrecognized loss positionpositions are September 30, 2017 2022 and December 31, 2016. 2021. As such, it is possible that a security had a market value lower than its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve12 months, but is not in the “investments“Less than 12 months” category above.

30

For debt securities with unrealized and unrecognized loss positions, Bancorp evaluates the securities to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or non-credit related factors. Any impairment that is not credit-related is recognized in AOCI, net of tax. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an a ACL for debt securities on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Both the ACL and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if Bancorp intends to sell an impaired debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount would be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis. Because the security’s amortized cost basis is adjusted to fair value, there is no ACL in this situation.

In evaluating debt securities in unrealized and unrecognized loss ofpositions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, Bancorp considers the extent to which fair value is less than 12 months” category above.

amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers’ financial condition, among other factors. Unrealized and unrecognized losses on Bancorp’sBancorp’s investment securities portfolio have not been recognized as an expense because the securities are of high credit quality, and the decline in fair values is dueattributable to changes in the prevailing interest rate environment since the purchase date. Fair value is expected to recover as securities reach their maturity date and/or the interest rate environment returns to conditions similar to when these securities were purchased. Because management does not intend to sell theThese investments consisted of 553 and it is not likely that Bancorp will be required to sell the investments before recovery227 separate investment positions as of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, Bancorp does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017.

PCD Loans

In connection with the acquisitions of CB on March 7, 2022, and KB on May 31, 2021, Bancorp acquired loans both with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination. Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition with no carryover from the acquired institution’s previously recorded allowance for loan and lease losses. Acquired loans are accounted for under ASC 326,Financial Instruments Credit Losses.

The fair value of acquired loans recorded at the time of acquisition is based upon several factors, including the timing and payment of expected cash flows, as adjusted for estimated credit losses and prepayments, and then discounting these cash flows using comparable market rates. The resulting fair value adjustment is recorded in the form of a premium or discount to the unpaid principal balance of the respective loans. As it relates to acquired loans that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination (“PCD”), the net premium or net discount is adjusted to reflect Bancorp’s allowance for credit losses recorded for PCD loans at the time of acquisition, and the remaining fair value adjustment is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. As it relates to loans not classified as PCD (“non-PCD”) loans, the credit loss and yield components of their fair value adjustment are aggregated, and the resulting net premium or net discount is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. Bancorp records an ACL for non-PCD loans at the time of acquisition through provision expense, and therefore, no further adjustments are made to the net premium or net discount for non-PCD loans.

The considerations by Bancorp in computing its allowance for loan losses are determined based on various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Relevant risk characteristics are as follows:

Commercial and industrial loans: Loans in this category are made to businesses. Generally these loans are secured by assets of the business and repayment is expected from cash flows of the business. A decline in the strength of the business or a weakened economy and resultant decreased consumer and/or business spending may have an effect on credit quality in this loan category.

Construction and development, excluding undeveloped land: Loans in this category primarily include owner-occupied and investment construction loans and development projects. In most cases, construction loans require interest only during construction. Upon completion or stabilization, the construction loan may convert to permanent financing in the real estate mortgage segment, requiring principal amortization. Repayment of development loans is derived from sale of lots or units. Credit risk is affected by construction delays, cost overruns, market conditions and availability of permanent financing, to the extent such permanent financing is not being provided by Bancorp.

Undeveloped land: Loans in this category are secured by land acquired for development by the borrower, but for which no development has yet taken place. Credit risk is primarily dependent upon the financial strength of the borrower, and can be affected by market conditions and time to develop land for ultimate sale. Credit risk is also affected by availability of development financing to the extent such financing is not being provided by Bancorp.  

Real estate mortgage: Loans in this category are made to and secured by owner-occupied residential and commercial real estate and income-producing investment properties. For owner occupied residential and commercial real estate, repayment is dependent on financial strength of the borrower. For income-producing investment properties, repayment is dependent on financial strength of tenants and to a lesser extent, the borrower. Underlying properties are generally located in Bancorp's primary market areas. Cash flows of income producing investment properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy that may cause increased vacancy rates, which in turn, could have an effect on credit quality. Overall health of the economy, including real estate prices, has an effect on credit quality in this loan category.

Consumer: Loans in this category may be either secured or unsecured and repayment is dependent on credit quality of the individual borrower and, if applicable, adequacy of collateral securing the loan. Therefore, overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, could have a significant effect on credit quality in this loan category.

Bancorp has loans that were acquired for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amount of those loans is included in the balance sheet amounts of loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Differences between recorded investment amounts and unpaid principal balance amounts are due to partial charge-offs and interest paid on non-accrual loans which have occurred over the life of loans. Unpaid principal balance is reduced by these items to arrive at the recorded investment in the loan.

Impaired loans include non-accrual loans and accruing loans accounted for as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), which continue to accrue interest. Non-performing loans include the balance of impaired loans plus any loans over 90 days past due and still accruing interest. Bancorp had loans totaling $261 thousand past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest at September 30, 2017, compared with $438 thousand at December 31, 2016.

In the course of working with borrowers, Bancorp may elect to restructure contractual terms of certain loans. Troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) occur when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, Bancorp grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.

At September 30, 2017 Bancorp had $949 thousand of loans classified as TDRs, all of which were accruing interest consistent with their modified terms. One residential real estate loan with a recorded investment of $12 thousand was modified and classified as a TDR in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. Interest due and unpaid was capitalized into the principal balance resulting in the TDR classification. A specific reserve was established for the entire recorded investment of this loan. One additional loan, a commercial loan with a recorded investment of $35 thousand at September 30, 2017, was modified and classified as a TDR previously in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The pre and post-modification balance for this loan was $39 thousand. The monthly payment amount of this loan was modified to enable the borrower to fulfill the loan agreement. A specific reserve was established for the entire recorded investment of this loan.

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc. and subsidiary

At September 30, 2016 Bancorp had $999 thousand of accruing loans classified as TDR. Bancorp did not modify or classify any additional loans as TDR during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2016.

No loans classified and reported as TDRs within the twelve months prior to September 30, 2017 defaulted during the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017. Likewise, no loans classified and reported as troubled debt restructured within the twelve months prior to September 30, 2016 defaulted during the three-month or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016. Loans accounted for as TDRs include modifications from original terms such as those due to bankruptcy proceedings, certain modifications of amortization periods or extended suspension of principal payments due to customer financial difficulties. Loans accounted for as TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment and, at September 30, 2017, had a total allowance allocation of $142 thousand, compared with $207 thousand at December 31, 2016.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Bancorp did not have any outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans have been modified as TDRs.

At September 30, 2017 formal foreclosure proceedings were in process on two loans with a total recorded investment of $75 thousand.

Loan Risk Ratings

 

Consistent with regulatory guidance, Bancorp categorizes loans into credit risk rating categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as:as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends. Pass-rated loans includedinclude all risk-rated loans other than those classified as other assets especially mentioned,OAEM, substandard, and doubtful, which are defined below:

 

Other assets especially mentioned (“OAEM”): Loans classified as OAEM have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close

OAEM – Loans classified as OAEM have potential weaknesses requiring management's heightened attention. These potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of Bancorp's credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard:

Substandard Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the paying capacity of the obligor or of collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize ultimate repayment of the debt. Default is a distinct possibility if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Substandard non-performing – Loans classified as substandard non-performing have all the characteristics of substandard loans and have been placed on non-accrual status or have been accounted for as TDRs. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when prospects for recovering both principal and accrued interest are considered doubtful or when a default of principal or interest has existed for 90 days or more.

Substandard non-performing: Loans classified as substandard non-performing have all the characteristics of substandard loans and have been placed on non-accrual status or have been accounted for as troubled debt restructurings. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when prospects for recovering both principal and accrued interest are considered doubtful or when a default of principal or interest has existed for 90 days or more. While on non-accrual status, payments of interest are applied to reduce the recorded investment in the loan.

 

Doubtful:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

US As of September 30, 2022, goodwill totaled $203 million, $67 million of which was added through the CB acquisition. As permitted under GAAP, management has up to 12 months following the date of acquisition to finalize the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities related to the CB acquisition. During this measurement period, Bancorp may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill for provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date.

GAAP requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Evaluations have resulted in no indicationImpairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of impairment. goodwill exceeds its fair value. Bancorp’s annual goodwill impairment test is conducted as of September 30 of each year or more often as situations dictate.

At September 30, 2022, Bancorp currently has goodwillelected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value, including goodwill.

Core Deposit and Customer List Intangible Assets

 

Bancorp recorded a gross core deposit intangible totaling $2.5CDI assets of $13 million, as a result of its 2013 acquisition of THE BANCorp, Inc. This intangible is being amortized over the expected life of the underlying deposits to which the intangible is attributable. At September 30, 2017, the unamortized core deposit intangible was $1.3$4 million, as compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2016.

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are initially recognized at fair value when mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained. The MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, considering appropriate prepayment assumptions. MSRs are evaluated quarterly for impairment by comparing carrying value to fair value. Estimated fair values of MSRs at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $2.7 million. Total outstanding principal balances of loans serviced for others were $350.1$2 million and $372.2$3 million at September 30, 2017,in association with the acquisitions of CB in 2022, KB in 2021, KSB in 2019 and December 31, 2016,TBOC in 2013, respectively.

Bancorp’s results for the first nine months of 2017 reflect implementation of Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, which provides guidance for the recognition of excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to share-based payment awards. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, ASU 2016-09 changes the way these benefits and deficiencies are recorded. Prior to 2017 they were recorded in additional paid-in capital, and therefore did not affect earnings. Beginning in 2017, these amounts are being recorded as tax expense or benefit in the income statement. For the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2017 Bancorp recorded benefits of $241 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively, within the provision for income tax expense for such awards.

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc. and subsidiary

US GAAP provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in tax returns. If recognized, tax benefits would reduce tax expense and accordingly, increase net income. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons including adding amounts for current year tax positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to statutes of limitation, changes in management’smanagement’s judgment about the level of uncertainty, status of examination, litigation and legislative activity and addition or elimination of uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2017 2022 and December 31, 2016, 2021, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was immaterial to theBancorp’s consolidated financial statements of the Company.statements. Federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination for the years after 2012.2017.

In addition to fixed-rate advances listed above, at September 30, 2017 Bancorp had a $150 million cash management advance from the FHLB. This advance matured in the first week of October, 2017 and was used to manage Bancorp’s overall cash position. Due to the short term of the advance, it was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet within Federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings.

Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by certain commercial and residential real estate mortgage loans under a blanket mortgage collateral agreement and FHLB stock. Bancorp at times utilizes these borrowings to match fund long-term fixed rate loans. At September 30, 2017, the amount of 2021, available credit from the FHLB totaled $367.3 million.$1.36 billion and $1.00 billion, respectively. Bancorp also had unsecured available FFP lines with correspondent banks totaling $90 million and $80 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, Bancorp had borrowing capacity of $20 million available through an unsecured borrowing line at the holding company as of September 30, 2022, which was added during the first quarter of 2022 to allow capital flexibility at the Bank level, if ever needed.

Defined Benefit Retirement Plan

Bancorp sponsors an unfunded, non-qualified, defined benefit retirement plan for three key officers (two current and one retired), and has no plans to increase the number of or benefits to participants. Benefits vest based on 25 years of service. All three officers are fully vested as of September 2017. Actuarially determined pension costs are expensed and accrued over the service period, and benefits are paid from Bancorp’s assets. Net periodic benefits costs, which include interest cost and amortization of net losses, totaled $34 thousand and $33 thousand for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the net periodic benefit costs totaled $103 thousand and $100 thousand, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The fair value of all awards granted, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as compensation expense over the respective service period.

Bancorp currently has one stock-based compensation plan. At Bancorp's 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders approved the 2015 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan and authorized the shares available from the expiring 2005 plan for future awards under the 2015 plan. No additional shares were made available. As of September 30, 2017, there were 285,133 shares available for future awards.

Options, which have not been granted since 2007, had a vesting schedule of 20% per year and as of February 2017; all options have been exercised or expired. Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) have a vesting schedule of 20% per year. SARs expire ten years after the grant date unless unvested grants are forfeited due to employment termination. SARs granted under the 2005 plan expire as late as 2025.

Restricted shares granted to officers vest over five years. All restricted shares have been granted at a price equal to the market value of common stock at the time of grant. For all grants prior to 2015, grantees were entitled to dividend payments during the vesting period. For grants in 2015 and after, forfeitable dividends are deferred until shares are vested.

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc. and subsidiary

Grants of performance stock units (“PSUs”) vest based upon service and a three-year performance period which begins January 1 of the first year of the performance period. Because grantees are not entitled to dividend payments during the performance period, the fair value of these PSUs is estimated based upon the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, adjusted for non-payment of dividends. Beginning in 2015, grants require a one year post-vesting holding period. For 2015, 2016 and 2017, the fair value of such grants incorporates a liquidity discount of 4.80%, 4.50% and 5.12%, respectively, related to the holding period.

Grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to directors are time-based and vest 12 months after grant date. Because grantees are entitled to deferred dividend payments at the end of the vesting period, fair value of the RSUs is equal to the fair value of underlying shares on the date of grant.

Bancorp has recognized stock-based compensation expense, within salaries and employee benefits for employees, and within other non-interest expense for directors, in the consolidated statements of income as follows:

Bancorp’s net income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 reflected the implementation of ASU 2016-09 which changed the way excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to share-based compensation are recorded. Prior to 2017 these were recorded directly to additional paid-in capital and, thus did not affect earnings. Beginning in 2017 these are recorded as a tax expense or benefit in the income statement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 these benefits resulted in a $241 thousand and a $1.4 million increase in net income, respectively. This tax benefit is not reflected in the table above.

Bancorp expects to record an additional $679 thousand of stock-based compensation expense in 2017 for equity grants outstanding as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, Bancorp has $4.9 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recorded as compensation expense over the next five years as awards vest. Bancorp used cash of $216 thousand during the first nine months of 2017 for purchase of shares upon vesting of restricted stock units, net of cash received for options exercised. This compares to cash received of $1.6 million during the first nine months of 2016 for similar activity.

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc. and subsidiary

Fair values of Bancorp’s SARs are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, a leading formula for calculating the value of stock options and SARs. This model requires input of assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Fair value of restricted shares is equal to Bancorp’s closing stock price on the date of grant. The following assumptions were used in SAR valuations at the grant date in each year:

  

2017

  

2016

 
         

Dividend yield

  2.72%  2.94%

Expected volatility

  19.47%  19.31%

Risk free interest rate

  2.29%  1.70%

Expected life of SARs (in years)

  7.0   7.3 

Dividend yield and expected volatility are based on historical information for Bancorp for time periods corresponding to the expected life of options and SARs granted. Expected volatility is the price volatility of the underlying shares for the expected term measured on a monthly basis. The risk free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. The expected life of SARs is based on actual experience of past like-term SARs. Bancorp evaluates historical exercise and post-vesting termination behavior when determining the expected life.

Commitments to extend credit are an agreement to lend to a customer either unsecured or secured, as long as collateral is available as agreed upon and there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Commitments to extend credit are mainly comprised of commercial lines of credit, construction and home equity credit lines and credit cards issued to commercial customers. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Bancorp uses the same credit and collateral policies in making commitments and conditional guarantees as for on-balance sheet instruments. Bancorp evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case by casecase-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, securities, equipment and real estate. However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should our customers default on their resulting obligation to us, our maximum exposure to credit loss, without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.

At September 30, 2017, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Bancorp had accrued $350 thousand$4.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in other liabilities for inherent risks relatedits estimate of credit losses for off balance sheet credit exposures. The CB acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to unfundedthe ACL for off balance sheet credit commitments.exposures, with the corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision expense). Provision for credit loss expense of $800,000 was also recorded for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, driven mainly by the addition of new lines of credit, and thus increased availability, and largely concentrated within the C&D portfolio.

 

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a first party. party beneficiary. Those guarantees are primarily issued to supportcustomer commercial transactions. Standby letters of credit generally have maturities of one to two years.

Certain commercial customers require confirmation of Bancorp’s letters of credit by other banks since Bancorp does not have a rating by a national rating agency. Terms of the agreements range from one month to a year with certain agreements requiring between one and six months’ notice to cancel. If an event of default on all contracts had occurred at September 30, 2022, Bancorp would have been required to make payments of approximately $3 million, or the maximum amount payable under those contracts. No payments have ever been required because of default on these contracts. These agreements are normally secured by collateral acceptable to Bancorp, which limits credit risk associated with the agreements.

 

As part of the normal course of business Bancorp entered into an agreement to purchase 29 automatic teller machines (ATMs) over the next three years at a total price of $1.2 million. Management was able to secure favorable pricing by contractually committing to purchase the machines.

Also, as of September 30, 2017, 2022, in the normal course of business, there were pending legal actions and administrative proceedings in which claims for damages are asserted and/asserted. Management, after discussion with legal counsel, believes the ultimate result of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or losses could be incurred. We record a liability for these matters if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amountresults of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings where the reasonable estimateoperations of loss is a range, we record a best estimate of loss within the range. At September 30, 2017 we have recorded a liability of $266 thousand for such matters.Bancorp.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value

 

Bancorp followsFair value represents the provisions of authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. This guidance is definitional and disclosure oriented and addresses how companies should approach measuring fair value when required by US GAAP. The guidance also prescribes various disclosures about financial statement categories and amounts which are measured at fair value, if such disclosures are not already specified elsewhere in US GAAP.

Authoritative guidance defines fair value as theexchange price that would be received to sellfor an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants aton the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy to group assets and liabilities carried at fair value in There are three levels based upon the markets in which the assets and liabilities trade and the source of assumptionsinputs that may be used to determinemeasure fair value. These levels are:

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

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc. and subsidiaryvalues:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions would reflect internal estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques could include pricing models, discounted cash flows and other similar techniques.

 

Authoritative guidance requires maximum use ofLevel 2 – Significant other observable inputs and minimum use ofother than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in fair value measurements. Where there exists limited or no observable market data, Bancorp derives its own estimates by generally considering characteristics of the asset/liability, the current economic and competitive environment and other factors. For this reason, results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized onpricing an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

 

Bancorp’s investment used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value of each type of financial instrument:

AFS debt securities available-for-sale and- Except for Bancorp’s U.S Treasury securities, the fair value of AFS debt securities is typically determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). Bancorp’s U.S. Treasury securities are based on quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).

Mortgage loans held for sale - The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices (Level 2 inputs).

Mortgage banking derivatives – Mortgage banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business consist primarily of interest rate swaps are recorded atlock loan commitments and mandatory forward sales contracts. The fair value on a recurring basis. Other accounts including mortgage servicing rights, impaired loansof the Bancorp’s derivative instruments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from broker-dealers recognized to be market participants. The pricing is derived from observable market inputs that can generally be verified and other real estate owned may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis, generally in the application of lower of cost or market adjustments or write-downs of specific assets.do not typically involve significant judgement by Bancorp (Level 2 inputs).

 

The portfolio of investment securities available-for-sale is comprised of U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government obligations, debt securities of U.S. government-sponsored corporations (including mortgage-backed securities), obligations of state and political subdivisions and corporate equity securities. U.S. Treasury and publicly traded corporate equity securities are priced using quoted prices of identical securities in an active market. These measurements are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy above. All other securities are priced using standard industry models or matrices with various assumptions such as yield curves, volatility, prepayment speeds, default rates, time value, credit rating and market prices for similar instruments. These assumptions are generally observable in the market place and can be derived from or supported by observable data. These measurements are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy above.

Interest rate swap agreementsInterest rate swaps are valued using primarily Level 2 inputs. Fair value measurements generally based on benchmark forwardvaluations received from the relevant dealer counterparty. These valuations consider multiple observable market inputs, including interest rate yield curves, time value and other relevant observable market data. For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to derivative positions, Bancorp evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties as well as its own credit risk. To date, Bancorp has not realized any losses due to a counterparty’s inability to perform and the change in value of derivative assets and liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during 2017.

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc. and subsidiaryfollows:

 

MSRs are recorded at fair value upon capitalization, are amortized to correspond with estimated servicing income, and are periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value atCollateral dependent loans – For collateral-dependent loans where Bancorp has determined that the reporting date. Fair valueliquidation or foreclosure of the collateral is based on a valuation model that calculatesprobable, or where the present value of estimated net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. These measurements are classified as Level 3. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 there was no valuation allowance for the mortgage servicing rights, as fair value exceeded cost. Accordingly, MSRs are not included in either table below for September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. See Note 4 for more information regarding MSRs.

For impaired loans in the table below, fair valueborrower is calculated as carrying value of loans with a specific valuation allowance, less the specific allowance,experiencing financial difficulty and the carrying valueCompany expects repayment of the loan to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, dependent loans that have been charged down to their fair value.  Fair value of impaired loans was primarilythe ACL is measured based on the difference between the estimated fair value of the collateral securing these loans. Impaired loans are classified within Level 3and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For real estate loans, fair value hierarchy. Collateral of the loan’s collateral is determined by third party or internal appraisals, which are then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, comparable sales, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. The unobservable inputs may be realvary depending on the individual assets with noone of the three methods being the predominant approach. Bancorp reviews the third party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 8% to 10% of the appraised value. For non-real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory, and/or accounts receivable. Bancorp determinesloans, fair value of real estatethe loan’s collateral based on independent appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approachbe determined using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraised values areaging reports, adjusted or discounted for costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the datetime of the most recent appraisal, and/orvaluation and management’s expertise andor knowledge of the customerclient and the customer’sclient’s business. Such discounts by management are subjective and are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value. For other assets, Bancorp relies on both internal and third party assessments

OREO OREO is primarily comprised of asset value, based on information provided by the borrower, following methodologies similar to those described for real estate. Asestate acquired in partial or full satisfaction of September 30, 2017, total impaired collateral dependent loans charged down to theirloans. OREO is recorded at its estimated fair value less estimated selling and impaired loans with a valuation allowance were $3.2 million, and the specific allowance totaled $722 thousand, resulting in a fair value of $2.5 million, compared with total collateral dependent loans charged down to their fair value and impaired loans with a valuation allowance of $4.2 million, and the specific allowance allocation totaling $1.3 million, resulting in a fair value of $2.9 millionclosing costs at December 31, 2016.  Losses represent charge offs and changes in specific allowances for the period indicated.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”), which is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, is periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date. Fair value is based on appraisals performed by external parties which use judgments and assumptions that are property-specific and sensitive to changes in the overall economic environment. Appraisals may be further discounted based on management’s historical knowledge and/or changes in market conditions from the date of transfer, with any excess of the most recent appraisal. Many of these inputs are not observable and, accordingly, these measurements are classified as Level 3. For OREO inrelated loan balance over the table below, fair value isless expected selling costs charged to the ACL. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying value of only parcelsamount and are recorded against earnings. Bancorp obtains the valuation of OREO with material balances from third party appraisers. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with noone of the three methods being the predominant approach. Bancorp reviews the appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which have a carrying value equaltypically range from 8% to 10% of the appraised value. Losses represent write-downs which occurred during the period indicated. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, carrying value of all other real estate owned was $2.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

Management used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate the value.

Cash, short-term investments, accrued interest receivable/payable and short-term borrowings

For these short-term instruments, carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Mortgage loans held for sale

Mortgage loans held for sale are initially recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The portfolio is comprised of residential real estate loans and fair value is determined by market quotes for similar loans based on loan type, term, rate, size and the borrower’s credit score.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock and other securities

For these securities without readily available market values, carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as it equals the amount due from FHLB or other issuer at upon redemption.

Loans, net

US GAAP prescribes the exit price concept for estimating fair value of loans. Because there is not an active market (exit price) for trading virtually all types of loans in Bancorp’s portfolio, fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities (entrance price).

Deposits

Fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposits is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances

Fair value of FHLB advances is estimated by discounting future cash flows using estimates of current market rate for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Secured BorrowingsSecured borrowings represent sold participation loans for which Bancorp has retained effective control of the loans, typically by restricting the participating institutions from pledging or selling their share of the loan without permission from Bancorp. US GAAP requires the participated portion of these loans to be recorded as secured borrowings. Secured borrowings are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit

Fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements and creditworthiness of customers. Fair values of standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle obligations with counterparties at the reporting date.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of Bancorp’sBancorp’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, calculated fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly affectimpact estimates.

MSRs, a component of other assets, are initially recognized at fair value when mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained. The MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, considering appropriate prepayment assumptions. MSRs are evaluated quarterly for impairment by comparing carrying value to fair value. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the PV of estimated net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income.

The estimated fair value of MSRs at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $27 million and $6 million, respectively. MSRs with an estimated fair value of $13 million at the date of acquisition were acquired as part of CB acquisition. There was no valuation allowance recorded for MSRs as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as fair value exceeded carrying value.

Total outstanding principal balances of loans serviced for others were $2.11 billion and $698 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Loans serviced for others acquired as part of the CB acquisition totaled $1.48 billion at the date of acquisition.

Mortgage banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business consist primarily of mandatory forward sales contracts and interest rate lock loan commitments. Mandatory forward contracts represent future loan commitments to deliver loans at a specified price and date are used to manage interest rate risk on loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Interest rate lock loan commitments represent commitments to fund loans at a specific rate. These derivatives involve underlying items, such as interest rates, and are designed to transfer risk. Substantially all of these instruments expire within 90 days from the date of issuance. Notional amounts are amounts on which calculations and payments are based, but which do not represent credit exposure, as credit exposure is limited to the amount required to be received or paid.

Mandatory forward contracts also contain an element of risk in that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In the event the counterparties fail to deliver commitments or are unable to fulfill their obligations, the Bank could potentially incur significant additional costs by replacing the positions at then current market rates. The Bank manages its risk of exposure by limiting counterparties to those banks and institutions deemed appropriate by management. The Bank does not expect any counterparty to default on their obligations and therefore, the Bank does not expect to incur any cost related to counterparty default.

The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk on loans held for sale and rate lock loan commitments. As market interest rates fluctuate, the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and rate lock commitments will decline or increase. To offset this interest rate risk the Bank enters into derivatives, such as mandatory forward contracts to sell loans. The fair value of these mandatory forward contracts will fluctuate as market interest rates fluctuate, and the change in the value of these instruments is expected to largely, though not entirely, offset the change in fair value of loans held for sale and rate lock commitments. The objective of this activity is to minimize the exposure to losses on rate lock loan commitments and loans held for sale due to market interest rate fluctuations. The net effect of derivatives on earnings will depend on risk management activities and a variety of other factors, including: market interest rate volatility; the amount of rate lock commitments that close; the ability to fill the forward contracts before expiration; and the time period required to close and sell loans.

Stock-Based Compensation

The fair value of all stock-based awards granted, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as compensation expense over the respective service period.

At Bancorp's 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders approved the 2015 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan and authorized the shares available from the expiring 2005 plan for future awards under the 2015 plan. In 2018, shareholders approved an additional 500,000 shares for issuance under the plan. As of September 30, 2022, there were 383,000 shares available for future awards. The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan expired in April 2015 and SARs granted under this plan expire as late as 2025. The 2015 Stock Incentive Plan has no defined expiration date.

SAR Grants – SARs granted have a vesting schedule of 20% per year and expire ten years after the grant date unless forfeited due to employment termination.

Fair values of SARs are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, a leading formula for calculating such value. This model requires the input of assumptions, changes to which can materially impact the fair value estimate. The following assumptions were used in SAR valuations at the grant date in each year:

Assumptions

 

2022

  

2021

 

Dividend yield

  2.38%  2.52%

Expected volatility

  25.42%  25.19%

Risk free interest rate

  1.98%  1.22%

Expected life (in years)

  7.1   7.1 

Dividend yield and expected volatility are based on historical information for Bancorp corresponding to the expected life of SARs granted. Expected volatility is the volatility of underlying shares for the expected term calculated on a monthly basis. The risk free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the awards. The expected life of SARs is based on actual experience of past like-term SARs. Bancorp evaluates historical exercise and post-vesting termination behavior when determining the expected life.

RSA Grants – RSAs granted to officers vest over five years. For all grants prior to 2015, grantees are entitled to dividend payments during the vesting period. For grants in 2015 and forward, dividends are deferred until shares are vested. Fair value of RSAs is equal to the market value of the shares on the date of grant.

PSU Grants – PSUs vest based upon service and a three-year performance period, which begins January 1 of the first year of the performance period. Because grantees are not entitled to dividend payments during the performance period, the fair value of these PSUs is estimated based upon the market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, adjusted for non-payment of dividends. Grants require a one-year post-vesting holding period and therefore the fair value of such grants incorporates a liquidity discount related to the holding period of 5.8% and 6.1% for 2022 and 2021.

RSU Grants – RSUs are only granted to non-employee directors, are time-based and vest 12 months after grant date. Because grantees are entitled to deferred dividend payments at the end of the vesting period, therefore the fair value of the RSUs equals market value of underlying shares on the date of grant.

In the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, Bancorp awarded 5,410 and 7,758 RSUs to non-employee directors of Bancorp with a grant date fair value of $350,000 and $315,000, respectively.

Bancorp utilized cash of $233,000 and $208,000 during the firstnine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, for the purchase of shares upon the vesting of RSUs.

Interest Rate Swaps

 

Periodically, Bancorp enters into an interest rate swap transactiontransactions with a borrower,borrowers who desiresdesire to hedge their exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching terms, with another approved independent counterparty. These are undesignated derivative instruments and are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts and collateral provisions mitigating any non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition are expected to have an insignificant effect on earnings. Exchanges of cash flows related to undesignated interest rate swap agreements for the first nine months of 2017 were offsetting and therefore had no net effect on Bancorp’s earnings or cash flows.

 

Interest rate swap agreements derive their value from underlying interest rates. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. Notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments and the value of the derivative are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposure.exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Bancorp is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformancenon-performance by counterparties to these agreements. Bancorp mitigates the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits, collateral and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations.obligations.

In 2016, Bancorp entered into an interest rate swap to hedge cash flows of a $10 million rolling fixed-rate three-month FHLB borrowing. The swap began December 6, 2016 and ends December 6, 2021. In 2015, Bancorp entered into an interest rate swap to hedge cash flows of a $20 million rolling fixed-rate three-month FHLB borrowing. The swap began December 9, 2015 and matures December 6, 2020. For purposes of hedging, rolling fixed rate advances are considered to be floating rate liabilities. Interest rate swaps involve exchange of Bancorp’s floating rate interest payments for fixed rate swap payments on underlying principal amounts. These swaps were designated, and qualified, for cash-flow hedge accounting. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of gains or losses is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in periods in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Regulatory Matters

 

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to variouscapital regulations in accordance with Basel III, as administered by banking regulators. Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy within a framework that makes capital requirements, prescribed by banking regulations and administered by state and federal banking agencies. The final rules implementingin part, dependent on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with allindividual risk profiles of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. Thefinancial institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital level requirements applicable to bankscan initiate certain mandatory and bank holding companies subject topossibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Bancorp’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the rules are:

a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%

a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%

a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6%

a tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%

Under these requirements, Bancorpregulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Holding Company and the Bank must meet minimumspecific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Bancorp’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and percentages of Tier 1 capital, common equity Tier 1 capital, and total capital to risk weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets. Risk weighted assetsclassification are determined by applying certain risk weightings prescribed by regulation to various categories of assets and off-balance sheet commitments. Capital and risk weighted assets may be furtheralso subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators as toregarding components, risk weightingweightings and other factors. Failure to meet capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly discretionary, corrective actions prescribed by regulation or determined to be necessary by regulators, which could materially affect the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

The Basel III rules also establishedBanking regulators have categorized the Bank as well-capitalized. To meet the definition of well-capitalized, a bank must have a minimum 6.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.0% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 10.0% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio and 5.0% Tier 1 Leverage ratio.

Additionally, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, Bancorp and the Bank must hold a 2.5% capital conservation buffer composed of 2.5%, to be phased in over three years through December 31, 2018,Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios. When fully phased inrequirements for the Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio necessary to be considered adequately-capitalized. At September 30, 2022, the adequately-capitalized minimums, including the capital conservation buffer, will result in the following minimum ratios:

were a common equity tier 7.0% Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital Risk-Based Capital ratio, of 7.0%,

a tier 8.5% Tier 1 risk-based capital Risk-Based Capital ratio of 8.5%, and

a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.5%.

The rules allowed banks and their holding companies with less than $250 billion in assets a one-time opportunity to opt-out of a requirement to include unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income in their capital calculation. Bancorp opted out of this requirement.

10.5% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio.

 

As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related interest expense are included in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp’s option on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2017, 2022, subordinated notes added through the CB acquisition totaled $26 million.

Bancorp continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for all calculations. Bancorp and the Bank intend to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the “well-capitalized” requirements to be considered well capitalized underas defined by the rules,FRB and is not subject to limitations duethe FDIC, in addition to the capital conservation buffer.

Bancorp’s revenue on the consolidated statement of income is categorized by product type, which effectively depicts how the nature, timing and extent of cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606 are discussed below:

Bancorp earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account management and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees and stop payments fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed, as that is when the company fulfills the performance obligation. Account management fees are earned over the course of a month and charged in the month in which the services are provided.

Treasury management transaction fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed, as that is when the company fulfills the performance obligation. Account analysis fees are earned over the course of a month and charged in the month in which the services are provided. Treasury management fees are withdrawn from customers’ account balances.

69

WM&T provides customers fiduciary and investment management services as agreed upon in asset management contracts. The contracts require WM&T to provide a series of distinct services for which fees are earned over time. The contracts are cancellable upon demand with fees typically based upon the asset value of investments. Revenue is accrued and recognized monthly based upon month-end asset values and collected from the customer predominately in the following month except for a small percentage of fees collected quarterly. Incentive compensation related to WM&T activities is considered a cost of obtaining the contract. Contracts between WM&T and customers do not permit performance-based fees and accordingly, none of the fee income earned by WM&T is performance-based. Trust fees receivable were $3.2 million and $2.9 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Investment products sales commissions and fees represent the Bank’s share of transaction fees and wrap fees resulting from investment services and programs provided through an agent relationship with a third party broker-dealer. Transaction fees are assessed at the time of the transaction. Those fees are collected and recognized on a monthly basis. Trailing fees are based upon market values and are assessed, collected and recognized on a quarterly basis. Because the Bank acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and third party provider, and does not control the services rendered, investment product sales commissions and fees are reported net of related costs, including nominal incentive compensation, and trading activity charges of $620,000 and $437,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Debit and credit card revenue primarily consists of debit and credit card interchange income. Interchange income represents fees assessed within the payment card system for acceptance of card-based transactions. Interchange fees are assessed as the performance obligation is satisfied, which is at the point in time the card transaction is authorized. Revenue is collected and recognized daily through the payment network settlement process.

Bancorp did not establish any contract assets or liabilities as a result of adopting ASC 606, nor were any recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(24)    Leases

Bancorp has operating leases for various branch locations with terms ranging from approximately one year to 18 years, some of which include options to extend the leases in five-year increments. A total of four operating leases were added as a result of the CB acquisition. Options reasonably expected to be exercised are included in determination of the right-of-use asset. Bancorp elected to use a practical expedient to expense short-term lease obligations associated with leases with original terms of 12 months or less. Bancorp elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components for its operating leases. The right-of-use lease asset and operating lease liability are recorded in premises and equipment and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Bancorp, which was incorporated in 1988 in Kentucky, is registered with, and subject to supervision, regulation and examination by, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As Bancorp has no significant operations of its own, its business is essentially that of SYB and the Captive. The operations of SYB and the Captive are fully reflected in the consolidated financial statements of Bancorp. Accordingly, references to “Bancorp” in this document may encompass both the holding company and its subsidiaries, however, it should be noted that the business of the Captive is immaterial to the overall results of operations and financial condition of Bancorp. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

SYB, established in 1904, is a state-chartered non-member financial institution that provides services in Louisville, central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio MSAs through 73 full service banking center locations. The Bank is registered with, and subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the FDIC and the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions.

Item 2.     

The Captive, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bancorp, is a Nevada-based captive insurance company that provides insurance against certain risks unique to operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance marketplace. The Captive pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves. The Captive is subject to regulations of the State of Nevada and undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance. It has elected to be taxed under Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to Section 831(b), if gross premiums do not exceed $2,450,000, then the Captive is taxable solely on its investment income. The Captive is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and its federal income tax return.

As a result of its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc. on March 7, 2022, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of three unconsolidated Delaware trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS.

Also as a result of its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc., Bancorp acquired a 60% interest in Landmark Financial Advisors, LLC (LFA), which is based in Bowling Green, Kentucky and provides wealth management services. LFA is consolidated into the Company. The 40% non-controlling interest is presented within the consolidated financial statements and represents the interest in LFA not owned by Bancorp.

General highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021:

 

Bancorp completed its acquisition of CB on March 7, 2022. At the time of acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, CB had approximately $1.34 billion in total assets, $632 million in loans, $247 million in investment securities and $1.12 billion in deposits. The three months ended September 30, 2022 represented the second full quarter of activity associated with the CB acquisition. There were no merger related expenses recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Bancorp completed its acquisition of KB on May 31, 2021. At the time of acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, KB had approximately $1.27 billion in assets, $755 million in loans, $396 million in investment securities and $1.04 billion in deposits, further contributing to the substantial balance sheet growth experienced over the past twelve months. Given the timing of the acquisition, the three months ended September 30, 2021 represented the first full quarter of activity associated with the KB acquisition. The merger related expenses recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were associated entirely with the CB acquisition, which was completed during the first quarter of 2022.

Net income totaled $28.5 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $0.97 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an 11% increase over $0.87 for the same period of 2021. Significant factors affecting the results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 include:

o

The three months ended September 30, 2022 represented the second full quarter of activity related to the CB acquisition. No merger related expenses were recorded during the period.

o

The three months ended September 30, 2021 represented the first full quarter of activity related to the KB acquisition, but also included $525,000 of merger related expenses associated entirely with the CB acquisition, which was completed during the first quarter of 2022.

o

Net interest income increased $16.9 million, or 37%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by acquisition-related growth and organic growth in loans and investment securities, as well as the significant benefit provided by substantial upward movement in the interest rate environment during the period.

o

Provision for credit loss expense of $4.8 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was the result of strong loan growth and to a lesser extent, the increase in the projected unemployment rate forecast used in the CECL model. Negative provision of $1.5 million was recorded for the third quarter of the prior year, which was driven by generally improving CECL model factors at the time, including an improved unemployment forecast.

NIM increased 32 bps to 3.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 3.14% for the same period in 2021. Recent interest rate actions from the FRB have had a positive impact on net interest income and NIM, but the full effects of rising rates were not realized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the timing of the third quarter rate increases. Bancorp expects to realize further benefits to net interest income and NIM from both the recent hikes and anticipated future hikes in the quarters ahead.

Total loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.10 billion, or 28%, compared to September 30, 2021, driven by the addition of $630 million in loans from the CB acquisition and strong organic growth. Average loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.03 billion, or 27%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

 

The continued positive effectPPP loan portfolio decreased $212 million, or 92%, compared to September 30, 2021, as the result of solid loan growth over the past 12 months, which has increased Bancorp’s netanticipated forgiveness activity, driving a $3.7 million, or 84%, decline in PPP-related interest and fee income nearly 6% compared with that for the third quarterthree months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2016;2021.

 

A six basis pointBancorp’s ACL on loans to total loans was 1.38% at September 30, 2022 compared to 1.29% at December 31, 2021, the increase stemming mainly from acquisition-related activity within the ACL on loans, strong organic loan growth and to a lesser extent, the aforementioned increase in net interest margin sequentially from the second quarter of 2017;projected unemployment rate forecast.

 

A reductionDeposit balances increased $1.16 billion, or 22%, compared to September 30, 2021, as a result of assuming approximately $1.12 billion in deposits during the provision for loan lossesfirst quarter in relation to the CB acquisition. The growth stemming from the first quarter CB acquisition was partially offset during the second and third quarters, as credit quality remained excellent;a result of anticipated seasonal deposit runoff related mainly to public fund deposits and time deposit attrition.

 

Steady growth in feeTotal non-interest income increased $7.3 million, or 41%, for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The third quarter of 2022 benefitted from both significant contributions stemming from acquisition-related activity and organic growth over the past twelve months. All non-interest income revenue streams experienced significant increases over the same quarter of the prior year, with the exception of mortgage banking, which decreased compared to the prior year period due to the rising rate environment’s impact on overall mortgage volume. In addition, a non-recurring $3.1 million gain resulting from the Wealth Management and Trust Group;sale of certain overlapping acquired properties was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

A tax benefit fromNon-interest expenses increased $10.3 million, or 30%, for the wind-downthree months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of a tax-credit partnership;2021, attributed mainly to acquisition-related activity. Non-interest expenses have generally remained controlled and in line with expectations.

 

Solid returnsBancorp’s efficiency ratio (FTE) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 51.30% compared to 54.63% for the same period of 2021. Bancorp also considers an adjusted efficiency ratio, which eliminates net gains (losses) on averagesales, calls, and impairment of investment securities, as well as net gains (losses) on sales of acquired premises and equipment, if applicable, and the fluctuation in non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships and non-recurring merger expenses. Bancorp’s adjusted efficiency ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 53.06% compared to 53.72% for the same period of 2021.

General highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021:

Bancorp completed its acquisition of CB on March 7, 2022. At the time of acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, CB had approximately $1.34 billion in assets, $632 million in loans, $247 million in investment securities and equity.$1.12 billion in deposits. Given the timing of the acquisition, the nine months ended September 30, 2022 did not include a full nine months of activity associated with the CB acquisition. Further, $19.5 million in merger related expenses were recorded in the first nine months of 2022 in addition to $4.4 million of credit loss expense associated with the acquired loan portfolio.

Bancorp completed its acquisition of KB on May 31, 2021. At the time of acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, KB had approximately $1.27 billion in assets, $755 million in loans, $396 million in investment securities and $1.04 billion in deposits. Given the timing of the acquisition, the nine months ended September 30, 2021 only represented four months of activity associated with the KB acquisition and included $19.0 million of merger related expenses in addition to $7.4 million in credit loss expense associated with the acquired loan portfolio.

Net income totaled $63.2 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $2.20 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an 8% increase over $2.03 for the same period of 2021. Significant factors affecting the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 include:

o

The nine months ended September 30, 2022 represented approximately seven months of activity related to the CB acquisition, including $19.5 million in merger related expenses and $4.4 million of credit loss expense related to the acquired loan portfolio.

o

The nine months ended September 30, 2021 represented only four months of activity related to the KB acquisition and included $19.0 million of merger related expenses ($525,000 of which related to the CB acquisition) and $7.4 million in credit loss expense related to the acquired loan portfolio.

o

Net interest income increased $43.2 million, or 35%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by acquisition-related growth and organic portfolio growth in loans and investment securities, as well as the significant benefit provided by substantial upward movement in the interest rate environment during the period.

o

Total provision for credit loss expense was $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.1 million for the same period of last year. The expense recorded for both periods was driven largely by the respective acquisitions. However, contrasting projected unemployment rate forecasts used in the CECL model for these respective periods had opposing effects on provision for credit loss expense. While the projected unemployment rate forecast has increased in the current year on the heels of inflation and recession-based concerns, increasing expense, the prior year benefitted from a then-improving forecast, partially offsetting our growth-related expense.

NIM decreased 4 bps to 3.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 3.29% for the same period in 2021. While the aggressive interest rate actions taken by the FRB in 2022 have had a positive impact on net interest income and NIM, the significantly higher interest rate environment experienced for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was not enough to offset the 20 bps benefit provided by the PPP portfolio for the same period of the prior year.

Total loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.10 billion, or 28%, compared to September 30, 2021, driven by the addition of $630 million in loans from the CB acquisition and strong organic portfolio growth. Average loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.26 billion, or 37%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

The PPP loan portfolio decreased $212 million, or 92%, compared to September 30, 2021, as the result of forgiveness activity, driving a $13.7 million, or 75%, decline in PPP-related interest and fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Bancorp’s ACL on loans to total loans was 1.38% at September 30, 2022 compared to 1.29% at December 31, 2021, the increase stemming mainly from acquisition-related activity within the ACL on loans, strong organic loan growth and to a lesser extent, the aforementioned increase in the projected unemployment rate forecast.

Deposit balances increased $1.16 billion, or 22%, compared to September 30, 2021, as a result of assuming approximately $1.12 billion in deposits during the first quarter in relation to the CB acquisition. The growth stemming from the first quarter CB acquisition was partially offset during the second and third quarters, as a result of anticipated seasonal deposit runoff related mainly to public fund deposits and time deposit attrition.

Total non-interest income increased $18.8 million, or 40%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The first nine months of 2022 benefitted from both significant contributions stemming from acquisition-related activity and organic growth over the past twelve months. All non-interest income revenue streams experienced significant increases over the same quarter of the prior year, with the exception of mortgage banking, which experienced a significant decline in volume driven by rising rates compared to the historic low rates benefitted much of 2021. In addition, a non-recurring $3.1 million gain resulting from the sale of certain overlapping acquired properties was recorded during third quarter.

Non-interest expenses increased $38.1 million, or 35%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. While both periods experienced elevated non-interest expense as a result of merger related expenses, all non-interest expense categories, with the exception of the FHLB early pre-payment penalty, experienced significant increases over the prior year as a result of anticipated acquisition-related growth. The prior year FHLB early pre-payment penalty, which totaled $474,000, was the result of paying off $14 million of FHLB advances prior to maturity due to excess liquidity held on the balance sheet and the near-term outlook for interest rates at the time of payoff.

Bancorp’s efficiency ratio (FTE) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 62.11% compared to 62.47% for the same period of 2021, the elevated ratios being the result of one-time merger-related expenses incurred as a result of the respective acquisitions in both periods. Bancorp also considers an adjusted efficiency ratio, which eliminates net gains (losses) on sales, calls, and impairment of investment securities, as well as net gains (losses) on sales of acquired premises and equipment, if applicable, and the fluctuation in non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships and non-recurring merger expenses. Bancorp’s adjusted efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 54.41% compared to 51.25% for the same period of 2021.

Net Interest Income - Overview

 

As is the case with most banks, Bancorp’sBancorp’s primary revenue sources are net interest income and fee income from various financial services provided to customers. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets less interest expense on deposit accounts and other interest bearing liabilities. Loan volume and interest rates earned on those loans are critical to overall profitability. Similarly, deposit volume is crucial to funding loans and rates paid on deposits directly impact profitability. Loan and deposit volumes areNew business volume is influenced by competition, new account acquisition efforts and economic factors including market interest rates, business spending, consumer confidence and competitive conditions within the marketplace. The discussion that follows is based on FTE interest data.

NIM and net interest spread calculations above exclude the sold portion of certain participation loans, which totaled $5 million at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. These sold loans are on Bancorp’s balance sheet as required by GAAP because Bancorp retains some form of effective control; however, Bancorp receives no interest income on the sold portion. These participation loans sold are excluded from NIM and spread analysis, as Bancorp believes it provides a more accurate depiction of loan portfolio performance.

The FRB has taken aggressive interest rate action over the past several months, implementing multiple rate hikes in an effort to tame inflation that has reached its highest levels in decades. The FFTR was increased to a range of 1.50% - 1.75% with consecutive and escalating rate increases of 25 bps, 50 bps and 75 bps in March, May and June, respectively, taking Prime to 4.75% by the end of the second quarter. The FRB remained committed to its goal of taming inflation through interest rate increases during the third quarter, hiking rates 75 bps each in both late-July and late-September, bringing the FFTR to a range of 3.00% - 3.25%, and Prime to 6.25%, as of September 30, 2022. While the third quarter hikes provided meaningful benefit to NIM, the average interest rate environment experienced for the three months ended September 30, 2022 did not capture the full benefit of the FRB’s third quarter interest rate actions given the timing of the increases. Further, Bancorp elected to raise its deposit rates in July in anticipation of these rate increases, representing the Company’s first deposit rate increases in nearly two years, which partially negated some of the NIM benefit associated with the aforementioned FRB rate hikes.

The current economic outlook suggests continued interest rate action from the FRB through at least the end of 2022 and prospects of a continuing rising rate environment. While Bancorp expects rising rates to have a positive effect on NIM, pricing pressure/competition for both loans and deposits, changing levels of liquidity within the banking system and the possibility of a flattening yield curve could continue to place pressure on NIM.

Net Interest Income (FTE) Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021

 

Net interest income increased $4.4 million, or 6.1%spread (FTE) and NIM were 3.31% and 3.46%, for the first ninethree months of 2017, compared with the same period in 2016. Net interest margin increased to 3.63% for the first nine months of 2017, compared with 3.60% for the same period of 2016.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, Bancorp recorded a $1.7 million provision for loan losses,2022 compared to $2.5 million3.08% and 3.14% for the same period in 2016. The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage2021, respectively. NIM during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was significantly impacted by the following:

A rapidly rising interest rate environment evolving from the sustained, pandemic-driven lows experienced over the last two years. The FFTR was lowered to a range of 0% - 0.25% in March of 2020, which resulted in Prime dropping to 3.25%, where it remained until the FRB’s hike in mid-March 2022. The FFTR stood at a range of 3.00% - 3.25%, and Prime at 6.25%, as of September 30, 2022 as a result of aggressive interest rate action from the FRB over the past two quarters.

Substantial balance sheet growth stemming from both acquisition-related activity and organic growth, which resulted in total average earning asset growth of $1.42 billion, or 25%, and average interest-bearing liability growth of $1.00 billion, or 28%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Overall excess balance sheet liquidity, which contributed to NIM compression in both periods. Excess liquidity within the banking system in general has also led to a highly competitive loan rate environment. After reaching a peak towards the end of 2021, levels of average excess liquidity, and its corresponding impact on NIM, have continued to decline through September 30, 2022.

PPP forgiveness activity, which accelerates the recognition of fee income on these loans, has declined significantly in 2022, as the vast majority of the original portfolio has been forgiven. The average balance of the PPP loan portfolio decreased $258 million, and related income decreased $3.7 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Net interest income (FTE) increased $17.0 million, or 37%, for the inherent losses on outstanding loans.three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, largely as a result of acquisition-related activity, but also driven in part by strong loan growth, substantial investment in the investment securities portfolio and the benefits of a rising interest rate environment.

 

Total non-interest income in the first nine months of 2017average interest earning assets increased $1.4 million,$1.42 billion, or 4.2%25%, compared with the same period in 2016, and comprised 30.0% of total revenues, as compared to 31.6%$7.18 billion for the same period in 2016. Continuing the trends of 2016, Bancorp’s wealth management and trust department (WM&T) led the increase with a 7.4%, or $1.1 million increase over the same period in 2016.

Total non-interest expense in the first ninethree months of 2017 increased $3.6 million, or 5.9%, compared with the same period in 2016, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, as well as expenses related to the Bancorp’s continued growth and improvements in technology infrastructure. Amortization expenses for investments in tax-credit partnerships, which had a significant impact on earnings in 2016, decreased by $1.2 million, or 39.4%, in the first nine months of 2017ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2016. Bancorp's efficiency ratio inof 2021, with the first nine months of 2017 was 57.6% comparedaverage rate earned on total interest earning assets climbing 50 bps to 57.4% in the same period in 2016. Excluding amortization of the investments in tax credit partnerships, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, would have been 55.9% and 54.5% for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for details on reconcilement to US GAAP measures.

Bancorp’s effective tax rate decreased to 25.9% in 2017 from 27.0% in 2016. In 2017 Bancorp adopted ASU 2016-09 “Compensation – Stock Compensation Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”3.74%. The new standard requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to share-based payment awards to be reflected in the statement of operations as a component of the provision for income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 Bancorp recorded a benefit of $1.4 million for such tax benefits against the provision for income tax expense. Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-09 these tax benefits were recorded directly to additional paid-in capital.

The ratio of shareholder’s equity to total assets was 10.59% as of September 30, 2017 compared with 10.33% at December 31, 2016. Tangible common equity (TCE), a non-GAAP measure, is a measure of a company's capital which is useful in evaluating the quality and adequacy of capital.

a)

Results Of OperationsAverage total loan balances increased $776 million, or 19%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Average non-PPP loan growth of $1.03 billion, or 27%, was driven by acquisition-related expansion and strong organic growth, which was partially offset by a $258 million, or 92%, decline in average PPP loan balances, as forgiveness activity increased.

Average investment securities grew $735 million, or 71%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, attributed to a combination of strategically deploying excess liquidity through further investment and acquisition-related activity.

Average FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances decreased $90 million, or 17%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as loan growth, investment in the securities portfolio and seasonal deposit run-off led to lower levels of liquidity as compared to the same period of the prior year.

 

NetTotal interest income of $11.7(FTE) increased $20.5 million, or 44%, to $67.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172022, as compared to the same period of 2021.

Interest and fee income (FTE) on loans increased $13.4 million, or 31%, to $56.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by both organic and acquisition-related growth in the non-PPP portfolio and the rising rate environment, which more than offset a $3.7 million, or 84%, decline in PPP-related income. The yield on the overall loan portfolio increased 43 bps to 4.56% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 4.13% for the same period of the prior year, while the yield on the non-PPP loan portfolio increased 54 bps compared to the prior year period, driven by the rising rate environment and strong loan growth.

Significant growth in average investment securities led to a $4.7 million increase in interest income (FTE) on the portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driving a 52 bps, or 41%, increase in the corresponding yield on the portfolio. Substantial deployment of excess liquidity over the past twelve months benefitted the investment portfolio, as the yields earned on current year purchases have improved dramatically in tandem with rising rates.

Interest income on FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as rising short-term interest rates more than offset a $90 million decline in related average balances. The yield on these assets increased 204 bps to 2.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, stemming from the dramatic increase in the FFTR over the past several months.

Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.2 million,$1.00 billion, or 11.8%28%, from $10.5to $4.62 billion for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 compared with the same period in 2021, with the total average cost increasing 27 bps to 0.43%.

Average interest bearing deposits increased $919 million, or 26%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, with interest-bearing demand deposits accounting for $513 million, or 56%, of the increase. The significant growth was attributed mainly to acquisition-related activity, as $1.12 billion in deposits were added during the first quarter of 2022 in relation to the CBT acquisition. Excluding acquisition-related activity, period-end interest-bearing deposit balances have declined in 2022, driven largely by seasonal fluctuation in public funds and time deposit attrition.

Consistent with the average interest bearing deposit growth noted above, average SSUAR balances increased $69 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Average FHLB advances decreased $10 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year, as all outstanding FHLB advances either matured or were paid off by the end of 2021.

Subordinated debentures totaling $26 million were added as a result of the CB acquisition during the first quarter of 2022.

Total interest expense increased $3.6 million for the comparable 2016 period. Basic net income per share was $0.52three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by acquisition-related average balance growth, Bancorp’s first deposit rate increases in almost two years and debt assumed through the CB acquisition. As a result, the percentage cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 27 bps to 0.43% for the third quarterthree months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2017, an2021.

Total interest bearing deposit expense increased $3.0 million as a result of acquisition-related growth and the aforementioned deposit rate increases, resulting in a 24 bps increase in the cost of interest bearing deposits. Bancorp expects pricing pressure/competition stemming from the rising rate environment to drive further deposit rate/cost increases in the coming months.

SSUAR interest expense increased $170,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year, consistent with the average balance growth and deposit rate increases noted above for interest bearing deposits.

Interest expense totaling $359,000 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of the subordinated debentures added through the CB acquisition, approximately $100,000 of which stems from purchase accounting-related mark-to-market amortization.

No interest expense on FHLB advances was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as all FHLB advances either matured or paid off by the end 2021, resulting in a decline of $51,000 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Net Interest Income (FTE) Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021

Net interest spread (FTE) and NIM were 3.16% and 3.25%, for the third quarter of 2016. Net income per share on a diluted basis was $0.51 for the third quarter of 2017, asnine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.463.22% and 3.29% for the same period in 2016. See Note 11 for additional information related to net income per share.2021, respectively. NIM during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was significantly impacted by the following:

 

A rapidly rising interest rate environment evolving from the sustained, pandemic-driven lows experienced over the last two years. The FFTR was lowered to a range of 0% - 0.25% in March of 2020, which resulted in Prime dropping to 3.25%, where it remained until the FRB’s hike in mid-March 2022. The FFTR stood at a range of 3.00% - 3.25%, and Prime at 6.25%, as of September 30, 2022 as a result of aggressive interest rate action from the FRB over the past two quarters.

Substantial balance sheet growth stemming from both acquisition-related activity and organic growth, which resulted in total average earning asset growth of $1.85 billion, or 36%, and average interest-bearing liability growth of $1.30 billion, or 40%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Overall excess balance sheet liquidity, which contributed to NIM compression in both periods. Excess liquidity within the banking system in general has also led to a highly competitive loan rate environment. After reaching a peak towards the end of 2021, levels of excess liquidity, and its corresponding impact on NIM, have continued to decline through September 30, 2022.

PPP forgiveness activity, which accelerates the recognition of fee income on these loans and has declined significantly in 2022, as the vast majority of the original portfolio has been forgiven. The average balance of the PPP loan portfolio decreased $410 million, and related income decreased $13.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average stockholders’ equity were 1.53% and 14.03%

NetTotal average interest earning assets increased $1.85 billion, or 36%, to $6.94 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period of 2021, with the average rate earned on total interest earning assets unchanged at 3.41%.

Average total loan balances increased $850 million, or 22%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Average non-PPP loan growth of $1.26 billion, or 37%, was driven by acquisition-related expansion and strong organic growth, which was partially offset by a $410 million, or 87%, decline in average PPP loan balances, as forgiveness activity increased.

Average investment securities grew $800 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, attributed to a combination of strategically deploying excess liquidity through further investment and acquisition-related activity.

Average FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased $196 million, or 54%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to on-going excess balance sheet liquidity.

Total interest income of $33.1(FTE) increased $47.3 million, or 36%, to $177.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $2.7 million, or 8.8%, from $30.4 million for the comparable 2016 period. Basic net income per share was $1.47 for the first nine months of 2017, an increase of 8.1% from the $1.36 for the period in 2016.

Notes to the average balance and interest rate tables:

 

Net interestInterest and fee income (FTE) on loans increased $31.9 million, or 26%, to $152.5 million for the most significant componentnine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by both organic and acquisition-related growth in the Bank's earnings is total interest income less total interest expense.non-PPP portfolio and the rising rate environment, which more than offset a $13.7 million, or 75%, decline in PPP-related income. The levelyield on the overall loan portfolio climbed to 4.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 4.16% for the same period of net interest income is determined by mix and volume of interest earning assets, interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and changes in interest rates.2021.

 

 

NetSignificant growth in average investment securities led to a $11.8 million increase interest spread isincome (FTE) on the difference between taxable equivalent ratesportfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driving a 30 bps, or 22%, increase in the corresponding yield on the portfolio. Substantial deployment of excess liquidity benefitted the investment portfolio as the yields earned on interest earning assets less the rate expensed on interest bearing liabilities.recent purchases have improved dramatically in tandem with rising rates.

 

Net interest margin represents net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis as a percentage of average interest earning assets. Net interest margin is affected by both interest rate spread and the level of non-interest bearing sources of funds, primarily consisting of demand deposits and stockholders’ equity.

 

 

Interest income on FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as a fully tax equivalentresult of average balance growth stemming from excess balance sheet liquidity and rising short term interest rates. The yield on these assets increased 79 bps to 0.92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, stemming from the dramatic increase in the FFTR over the past several months.

Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.30 billion, or 40%, to $4.52 billion for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 compared with the same period in 2021, with the total average cost increasing 6 bps to 0.25%.

Average interest bearing deposits increased $1.24 billion, or 39%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, with interest-bearing demand deposits accounting for $684 million, or 55%, of the increase. The significant growth was attributed to both acquisition-related activity and organic growth stemming from the general trend of customers maintaining higher levels of liquidity over the past several quarters. However, excluding acquisition-related activity, period-end deposit balances have declined in 2022, driven largely by seasonal fluctuation in public funds and time deposit attrition.

Consistent with the average interest bearing deposit growth noted above, average SSUAR balances increased $66 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Average FHLB advances decreased $19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year, as all outstanding FHLB advances either matured or were paid off by the end of 2021.

Subordinated debentures totaling $26 million were added as a result of the CB acquisition during the first quarter of 2022. The corresponding average balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $20 million.

Total interest expense increased $3.7 million, or 79%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by acquisition-related average balance growth, Bancorp’s first deposit rate increases in almost two years and debt assumed through the CB acquisition. As a result, the percentage cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 6 bps to 0.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Total interest bearing deposit expense increased $3.0 million, or 70%, as a result of acquisition-related activity and the aforementioned deposit rate increases, resulting in a 4 bps increase in the cost of interest bearing deposits. Bancorp expects pricing pressure/competition stemming from the rising rate environment to drive further deposit rate/cost increases in the coming months.

Interest expense totaling $670,000 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the subordinated debentures assumed through the CB acquisition, approximately $232,000 of which stems from purchase accounting-related mark-to-market amortization.

No interest expense on FHLB advances was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as all FHLB advances either matured or paid off by the end of 2021, resulting in a decline of $301,000 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Average loan balances include the principal balance of non-accrual loans, as well as unearned income such as loan premiums, discounts, fees/costs and exclude participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings. Participation loans averaged $5 million for the three-month periods ended both September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Participation loans averaged $5 million and $7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Interest income on a FTE basis includes additional amountsamounts of interest income that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal taxes yielding the same after-tax income. Interest income on municipal securities and tax-exempt loans has been calculated on a fully tax equivalentFTE basis using a federal income tax rate of 35%21%. Approximate tax equivalent adjustments to interest income were $199 thousand$232,000 and $203 thousand, respectively,$160,000 for the three monththree-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 20162021, respectively, and $599 thousand$677,000 and $637 thousand, respectively,$286,000 for the nine monthnine-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021, respectively.

 

 

Average balances for loans includeInterest income includes loan fees of $2.2 million ($590,000 associated with the principal balance of non-accrual loansPPP) and exclude participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings. These participation loans averaged $19.4$4.2 million and $16.3($3.7 million respectively,associated with the PPP) for the three monththree-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 20162021, respectively, and $18.9$8.9 million ($4.1 million associated with the PPP) and $11.2$16.3 million respectively,($14.9 million associated with the PPP) for the nine monthnine-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021. Interest income on loans may be materially impacted by the level of prepayment fees collected and accretion related to purchased loans.

 

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income of $26.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $1.4 million, or 5.6%, from $25.0 million for the same period in 2016. Bancorp recognized positive effects of increased average balances on loans, resulting from loan growth in 2016, and increased rates on all earning asset categories following rate increases by the Federal Reserve, were partially offset by the negative effect of increased rates for all funding sources, and increased average balances for all funding sources except certificate of deposit accounts. To date in 2017 the Federal Reserve twice raised the target Fed Funds rate with 25 basis point increases in both March and June. Management increased rates paid on retail deposits accounts in conjunction with the March rate hike. Those deposit customers had not seen a rate increase on their accounts in over ten years. The June increase resulted in most of the variable rate loan portfolio breaking through applicable floor rates which will enhance margin going forward. Net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.53% and 3.66%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2017 and 3.57% and 3.65%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2016. Heightened competition on pricing, effects of liquidity and a flattening yield curve contributed to pressure on net interest margin.

Net interest income, the most significant component of Bancorp's earnings, represents total interest income less total interest expense. The level of net interest income is determined by mix and volume of interest earning assets, interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and changes in interest rates.

 

NIM represents net interest income on a FTE basis as a percentage of total average interest earning assets.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income of $77.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $4.4 million, or 6.0%, from $72.8 million for the same period in 2016. Positive effects of increased average balances on loans, resulting from loan growth in 2016, and increased rates on other earning assets, were partially offset by the negative effect of increasing rates and average balances for all funding sources except certificates of deposits. Average rates on loans increased period to period while the rates on taxable securities decreased. Net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.52% and 3.63%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2017 and 3.52% and 3.60%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2016.

Net interest spread (FTE) is the difference between taxable equivalent rates earned on total interest earning assets less the cost of interest bearing liabilities.

The fair market value adjustment on investment securities resulting from ASC 320, Investments  Debt and Equity Securities is included as a component of other assets.

Average earning assets increased $138.8 million or 5.1% to $2.9 billion for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same time period in 2016, reflecting growth in the loan portfolio and to a lesser extent fed funds sold. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $77 million or 4.1% for the third quarter of September 30, 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016. A decrease in volume of time deposits partially offset increases in all other interest bearing deposit and borrowing categories. Average earning assets increased $142.8 million or 5.3%, to $2.8 billion for the first nine months of 2017 as compared with 2016, reflecting increases in the loan portfolio, the majority of which was garnered in 2016. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $78.4 million, or 4.1%, to $1.95 billion for the first nine months of 2017, as compared with the same period in 2016. Increases in the volume of interest bearing demand deposits, savings deposits, money market deposit accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and FHLB advances, were partially offset by decreases in volume of time deposits, and other short term borrowing products.

 

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

 

Managing interest rate risk is fundamental for the financial services industry. The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to neutralize effects of interest rate changes on net income. By considering both on and off-balance sheet financial instruments, management evaluates interest rate sensitivity with the goal of optimizing net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity needs, market opportunities and customer funding requirements.

 

Interest Rate Simulation Sensitivity Analysis

 

Bancorp uses an earnings simulation model to estimate and evaluate the impact of an immediate change in interest rates on earnings in a one yearone-year forecast. The simulation model is designed to reflect dynamics of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments.liabilities. By estimating effects of interest rate increases and decreases,fluctuations, the model can reveal approximate interest rate risk exposure. This simulation model is used by management to gauge approximate results given a specific change in interest rates at a given point in time. The model is therefore a tool to indicate earnings trends in given interest rate scenarios and may not indicate actual or expected results.

 

The September 30, 2017 simulation analysis, which shows minimalresults of the interest rate sensitivity indicatesanalysis performed as of September 30, 2022 were derived from the long-term, conservative assumptions Bancorp uses in the model, particularly in relation to deposit betas, which measure how responsive management’s deposit repricing may be to changes in market rates and are based on historical data. The results presented below reflect an interest rate sensitivity analysis that incorporates a deposit beta of approximately 65%. However, given the level of liquidity currently held by Bancorp isand in the banking system generally, the Company anticipates actual deposit betas will remain well below long-term averages through the end of 2022. The anticipated lower deposit beta would result in the Company’s interest rate sensitivity position turning slightly asset sensitive assensitive. Further, Bancorp expects to realize further benefits to net interest income and NIM from both the recent hikes and anticipated future hikes in the quarters ahead.

Bancorp’s interest rate simulation sensitivity analysis details that increases in interest rates of 100, to 200 basis pointsand 300 bps would have a positivenegative effect on net interest income, respectively, while decreases of 100 and 200 bps in interest rates would also have a negative effect on net interest income. If rates raise 200 basis points,These results depict a relatively neutral interest rate risk profile. The decrease in net interest income would increase 2.12%. The excess liquidity held in interest bearing deposit accounts and other short-term investments along withthe rising rate scenarios is primarily due to variable rate loans now at or above their floors gives Bancorp significant assets that will reprice as rates move. Those sameand short-term investments repricing slower than deposits and short-term borrowings. Asset balances subject to immediate repricing cause an estimated decline in net interest income in athe down 100 basis point rate scenario.and 200 bps scenarios, as rates on non-maturity deposits cannot be lowered sufficiently to offset declining interest income. These estimates are summarized below.

Approximately 61% of Bancorp’s loan portfolio has fixed rates and 39% of itsBancorp’s loan portfolio is priced at variable rates. With the Prime rate currently at 4.25%,composed of approximately 69% fixed and after the .25% increase in Prime in June of 2017, the majority of Bancorp’s31% variable rate loans, now have interest rateswith the fixed rate portion pricing generally based on a spread to the five-year treasury curve at the time of origination and the variable portion pricing based on an on-going spread to Prime (approximately 65%) or above their floors.   one month LIBOR/SOFR (approximately 35%).

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), the authority regulating LIBOR, along with various other regulatory bodies, announced that LIBOR would likely be discontinued at the end of 2021. Subsequent to that announcement, in November 2020, the FCA announced that many tenors of LIBOR would continue to be published through June 2023. Subsequent to this, Bank regulators instructed banks to discontinue new originations referencing LIBOR as soon as possible, but no later than December 2021. Effective December 31, 2021, Libor is no longer used to issue new loans in the U.S. It is expected to be replaced primarily by the SOFR, which many experts consider a more accurate and more secure pricing benchmark. To facilitate the transition process, management has instituted an enterprise-wide program to identify, assess, and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuance or unavailability of LIBOR.

On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act was signed into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022. This legislation established a uniform benchmark replacement process for financial contracts that mature after the cessation of LIBOR (scheduled for June 2023) that do not contain clearly defined or practicable fallback provisions. The legislation also established a safe harbor for lenders, providing protection from litigation associated with choosing a replacement rate recommended by the FRB, such as SOFR, and also allows for the continued use of any appropriate benchmark rate for new contracts.

 

 

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc.As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $455 million in loans and subsidiary$140 million (notional amount) in interest rate derivative contracts that reference LIBOR. Each of the LIBOR-referenced amounts discussed above will vary in future periods as current contracts expire with potential replacement contracts using either LIBOR or an alternative reference rate. The Company, and other industry participants, continue to review alternative reference rates that could be utilized as a replacement for LIBOR. The Company had $76 million in loans that were indexed to SOFR at September 30, 2022.

 

UndesignatedPeriodically, Bancorp enters into interest rate swap transactions with borrowers who desire to hedge exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching terms, with another approved independent counterparty. These are undesignated derivative instruments described in Note 18 to Bancorp’s consolidated financial statementsand are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value due to changes in prevailing interest rates, recorded in other non-interest income.income as interest rates fluctuate. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on earnings, and are therefore not included in the simulation analysis results above. For additional information, see the Footnote titled “Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value.

 

DerivativesIn addition, Bancorp has historically used derivative financial instruments as part of its interest rate risk management, including interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges described in Note 18 to Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements are recognized onhedges. For these derivatives, the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value due to changes in prevailing interest rates, recorded neteffective portion of tax in other comprehensive income.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage for inherent losses on outstanding loans. The allowance for loangains or losses is calculated after considering credit quality factors,reported as a component of AOCI, and ultimately relies onis subsequently reclassified into earnings as an overall internal analysis of riskadjustment to interest expense in the loan portfolio. The provision reflects an allowance methodology that is driven by risk ratings, historical losses, and qualitative factors. The provision for the first nine months of 2017, and the resulting allowance level, reflected a number of factors, including stable and acceptable credit quality metrics, modest loan growth during the period, and an expansion of the historical look-back period from 24 quarters to 28 quarters. This expansion of the look-back period was applied to all classes and segments of the portfolio. The expansion of the look-back period for the historical loss rates used in the quantitative allocation caused management to review the overall methodology for the qualitative factors to ensure Bancorp was appropriately capturing the risk not addressed in the historical loss rates used in the quantitative allocation, resulting in the same expansion of the look-back period for the qualitative factors. Management believes the extension of the look-back period is appropriate to ensure capture of the impact of a full economic cycle and more accurately represents the current level of risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Key indicators of loan quality continued to show improvement during 2017, with levels of non-performing loans continuing a five year downward trend. Classified assets, after experiencing a slight elevation the prior quarter stabilized in the third quarter. Bancorp recorded provision for loan losses of $150 thousand and $1.7 million for the first three and nine month periods of 2017, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the same periods in 2016.

Management uses loan grading procedures which result in specific allowance allocations for estimated inherent riskthe hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of loss. For all loans graded, but not individually reviewed for allowance purposes, a general allowance allocation is computed using historical data based on actual loss experience. Specific and general allocations plus consideration of qualitative factors represent management’s best estimate of probable losses contained in the loan portfolio at the evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses. Based on this detailed analysis of credit risk, management considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017.2022, Bancorp had no outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges.

 

 

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc.Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses on loans at September 30, 2022 represents the amount of expense that, based on Management’s judgment, is required to maintain the ACL for loans at an appropriate level under the CECL model. The determination of the amount of the ACL for loans is complex and subsidiary

involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. See the Footnote titled “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for detailed discussion regarding Bancorp’s ACL methodology by loan segment in this document and Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The ACL for loans totaled $70 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $54 million at December 31, 2021, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 1.38% and 1.29% for those periods, respectively. The ACL to loans (excluding PPP loans) was 1.39% at September 30, 2022 compared to 1.34% at December 31, 2021. Based on the 100% SBA guarantee of the PPP loan portfolio, which totaled $19 million at September 30, 2022 and $141 million at December 31, 2021, Bancorp did not reserve for potential losses for these loans within the ACL. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP measures.

Provision of $4.1 million was recorded to provision for credit losses on loans expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2022, driven by strong third quarter loan growth and to a lesser extent, a negative economic forecast. For the second consecutive quarter, the projected unemployment rate forecast, which is the primary loss driver with Bancorp’s CECL model, increased due to inflation and recession-based concerns. Further, net charge off activity for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $382,000, serving to reduce the ACL for loans slightly.

Provision expense (excluding acquisition-related activity) of $1.7 million was recorded for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022. Strong loan growth, the aforementioned increase in the projected unemployment rate forecast, along with qualitative factor updates related to the potential impact of rising rates on the C&I portfolio, have been the main drivers of expense within the CECL model for 2022. Further, net charge off/recovery activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 has been minimal. However, the release of approximately $3.0 million in specific reserves within the ACL for individual loans related to recently acquired individual loans that ultimately paid off during the second quarter with no loss or charge-off realized by Bancorp partially offset the expense drivers noted above for nine month periods endedending September 30, 2017 and 2016 follows:

2022. Further, the ACL for loans was also increased $10 million as a result of the PCD loan portfolio added through the CB acquisition during the first quarter, with the corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense).

 

Negative provision of $1 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021, driven mainly by the benefits of improvement in the unemployment forecast for the period. Provision for credit loss expense of $2.5 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as the benefits of an improving unemployment forecast in that period were more than offset by expense associated with the non-PCD loan portfolio added through the KB acquisition.

While separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures also experienced an increase between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022. The largest componentCB acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures during the first quarter, with the corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense). Provision for credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures of non-interest income$800,000 was also recorded for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, driven largely by the addition of new lines of credit, and thus increased availability, largely within the C&D portfolio. The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures ended at $4.8 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $3.5 million as of December 31, 2021.

Bancorp’s loan portfolio is wealthwell-diversified with no significant concentrations of credit. Geographically, most loans are extended to borrowers in Louisville, central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan markets. The adequacy of the ACL is monitored on an ongoing basis and it is the opinion of management and trust (“WM&T”) revenue. The magnitudethat the balance of WM&T revenue distinguishes Bancorp from most other community banks of similar asset size.

WM&T Services:

The magnitude of WM&T revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other community banks of similar asset size. WM&T revenue increased $2.0 million, or 28%, and $6.7 million, or 33%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021. Significant growth in 2016. AUM drove the increases for both periods, consistent with both acquisition-related activity and organic new business development. However, significant declines in both fixed income and equity markets have weighed heavily on WM&T revenue in 2022, particularly for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Recurring fees earned for managing accounts are based on a percentage of market value of AUM and are typically assessed on a monthly basis. Some revenuesRecurring fees, which generally comprise the vast majority of WM&T revenue, increased $2.0 million, or 31%, and $6.7 million, or 35%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021. The increase was driven by both acquisition-related activity and organic business development.

A portion of WM&T revenue, most notably executor insurance, and somecertain employee benefit plan-related fees, are non-recurring in nature and the timing of these revenues corresponds with the related administrative activities, and is also based on the market value of AUM.activities. For this reason, such fees are subject to greater period over period fluctuation. Total non-recurring fees decreased $115 thousand$138,000 and $393 thousand$203,000 for the three and nine monthsmonth periods ended September 30, 2017,2022, as compared towith the same periods of 2021, which was driven mainly by lower estate fee income earned.

AUM, stated at market value, totaled $6.30 billion at September 30, 2022 compared with $4.51 billion at September 30, 2021 and $4.80 billion at December 31, 2021. The large increase in 2016, primarily dueAUM between September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2022 is attributed mainly to a decrease in estate fees period to period. AUM of $2.65 billion added through the CB acquisition, as well as organic net new business growth over the past twelve months.

Contracts between WM&T and their clientscustomers do not permit performance basedperformance-based fees and accordingly, none of the fees earned by WM&T arerevenue is performance based. Management believes the WM&T department will continue to factor significantly in Bancorp’s financial results and provide strategic diversity to revenue streams.

Total non-interest expenses increased $10.3 million, or 30%, and $251 thousand$38.1 million, or 35%, for the firstthree and nine monthsmonth periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2017,2021, the variances stemming largely from the CB and KB acquisitions. Compensation and employee benefits comprised 60.7% and 52.4% of Bancorp’s total non-interest expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, compared to 60.9% and 52.2% for the same periods of 2021. Excluding merger expenses, compensation and employee benefits comprised 60.7% and 60.5% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, compared to 61.8% and 63.3% for the same periods of 2021.

Compensation, which includes salaries, incentives, bonuses and stock based compensation, increased $5.7 million, or 33%, and $17.4 million, or 38%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021. The increases were attributed largely to growth in 2016. These fees are an infrequent sourcefull time equivalent employees, as well as annual merit-based salary increases. Net full time equivalent employees totaled 1,028 at September 30, 2022 compared to 820 at December 31, 2021 and 793 at September 30, 2021.

SalariesEmployee benefits consists of all personnel-related expense not included in compensation, with the most significant items being health insurance, payroll taxes and employee retirement plan contributions. Employee benefits increased $935 thousand$517,000, or 7.8% for the third quarter of 2017,14%, and $3.0$2.9 million, or 8.4%28%, for the firstthree and nine months of 2017,month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, driven primarily by the overall increase in 2016. The increases are largely due to higher compensation expenses, reflecting addition of personnel and to a lesser extent, increased health care costs. The additions to staff were driven by expanding market presence in Cincinnati and Indianapolis, along with the need for front line lending and loan support staff across all markets. The Bank’s employee health insurance is a self-insured plan and related expenses fluctuate with claims experience. At September 30, 2017, Bancorp had 581 full-timefull time equivalent employees compared with 558 at September 30, 2016.noted above.

 

Net occupancy expense decreased $25 thousand or 1.5% for the third quarter and increased $49 thousand or 1.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016. The quarterly decrease was the result of timing of normal maintenance activities. The increase year over year was largely due to increased recurring expenses for multiple bank properties and a decrease in sub-lease rents.

Data processing expense increased $173 thousand or 9.9% in the third quarter of 2017 and $737 thousand, or 14.2% in the first nine months of 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016. The increase was primarily a result of increases in computer infrastructure and maintenance costs.  These expenses include ongoing computer software amortization, equipment depreciation, and expenditures related to investments in technology needed to maintain and improve the quality of delivery channels and internal resources.

Furniture and equipment expense increased $39 thousand or 14.1% in the third quarter of 2017expenses primarily include depreciation, rent, property taxes, utilities and $8 thousand or 0.9% for the first nine months of 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016.maintenance. Costs of capital asset additions flow through the statement of income over the lives of the assets in the form of depreciation expense.

FDIC insurance Net occupancy expense decreased $114 thousandincreased $1.0 million, or 32%38%, and $319 thousand,$3.4 million, or 30.7%49%, for the respective three and nine month periods of 2017, as compared with the same periods in 2016. The expense assessment is calculated by the FDIC on a quarterly basis. During 2016 the FDIC revised the assessment criteria to more closely align FDIC insurance expense with each financial institution’s risk profile. Bancorp benefited from this change.

Amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships decreased $399 thousand for the third quarter of 2017 and $1.2 million for the first nine months of 2017,ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2016. This expense reflects2021, driven by the two acquisitions completed over the past twelve months. In connection with the CB acquisition, 15 branches were acquired, four of which were closed shortly after acquisition in addition to one existing SYB location, as a result of branch overlap. The KB acquisition in May of 2021 resulted in the addition of 19 branch locations in addition to operational buildings. At September 30, 2022, Bancorp’s branch network consists of 73 locations throughout Louisville, central, eastern and Northern Kentucky, as well as the MSAs of Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio.

Technology and communication expenses include computer software amortization, ofequipment depreciation and expenditures related to investments in technology needed to maintain and improve the quality of customer delivery channels, information security and internal resources. Technology expense increased $574,000, or 18%, and $3.0 million, or 36%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021, consistent with acquisition-related activity, customer expansion and core system upgrades.

Bancorp outsources processing for debit and commercial credit card operations, which generate significant revenue for the Company. These expenses typically fluctuate consistent with transaction volumes. Debit and credit card processing expense decreased $42,000, or 3%, and increased $1.3 million, or 40%, for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of last year. The decrease for the three month period stems from expenses incurred in the prior year period associated with the timing of the KB core conversion. The increase for the nine month period correlates in part with the increase in transaction volume and customer base expansion resulting from both organic and acquisition-related growth that served to increase corresponding debit and credit card non-interest income.

Marketing and business development expenses include all costs associated with promoting Bancorp including community support, retaining customers and acquiring new business. Marketing and business development expenses increased $233,000, or 23%, and $1.1 million, or 47%, for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods of 2021. The increases correspond with strategic decisions to advertise and promote in Bancorp’s new markets, as well as the general expansion of Bancorp’s existing and prospective customer base and a post-pandemic return to in-person client meeting/entertainment.

Postage, printing and supplies expense increased $273,000, or 43%, and $962,000, or 64%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021, consistent with increased customer communication and Bancorp’s expansion tied to acquisition-related activity over the past twelve months.

Legal and professional fees increased $74,000, or 11%, and $623,000, or 34%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of last year, attributed to various consulting engagements, collection-related expenses and litigation costs arising through the normal course of business. Legal and professional fees associated with merger-related activity are captured in merger expenses.

FDIC insurance increased $460,000, or 119%, and $887,000, or 78%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods of 2021, consistent with organic and acquisition-related balance sheet growth for which the insurance is assessed on, and to a lesser extent, an increased assessment rate.

Tax credit partnerships which generate federal income tax credits, and vary widely depending upon the timing and magnitude of investments and related amortization. Forfor each of Bancorp’s investments in tax credit partnerships, the tax benefit, compared with the amortizationnet of related expenses, results in a positive effect on net income. SeeAmounts of credits and corresponding expenses can vary widely depending upon the Income Taxes section belowtiming and magnitude of the underlying investments. Amortization expense associated with these investments increased $35,000 and decreased $50,000 for details on amortization and income tax impact for these credits.

Other non-interest expenses increased $190 thousand or 5.5% and $1.3 million or 13.6% in the respective three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2017, as2022 compared withto the same periods in 2016. The quarterly increase was largely due to recording a $266 thousand liability related to an estimated loss from certain administrative proceedings arising in the course of our business. The increaselast year.

Capital and deposit based taxes, which consist primarily of capital-based local income taxes and franchise taxes, increased $166,000, or 30%, and $281,000, or 18%, for the yearthree and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to date 2017 period was largely duethe same periods of 2021, attributed to a combination of numerous items, the largest of which are detailed below:

$382 thousand of net recoveries on sales of foreclosed assets in 2016 compared with a net recovery in 2017 of $39 thousand.

Legal and professional fees increased $351 thousand primarily as a result of expenses associated with elevated collection efforts on impaired credits.

Local Franchise taxes based upon deposit balances which Bancorp pays in lieu of income taxes in Kentucky and Ohio, were up $174 thousand during the nine month period. Deposit growth drove the increased expense.

As described above, during 2016 Bancorp introduced a checking product that offers benefits to account owners. The expense associated with the product totaled $145 thousand for the first nine months of 2017 as opposed to $28 thousand for the same period in 2016.

Losses relating to check and debit card fraud increased $84 thousand for the first nine months of 2017 over the same period in 2016.

In the third quarter of 2017 we recorded a $266 thousand liability related to an estimated loss from certain administrative proceedings arising in the course of our business.

Other non-interest expenses also include other insurance, advertising, printing, mail and telecommunications, none of which had individually significant variances.

Income Taxes

Bancorp recorded income tax expenseMerger expenses represent non-recurring expenses associated with completion of $4.1 millionthe CB acquisition and $11.6consist primarily of investment banker fees, various compensation-related expenses, legal fees, early termination fees relating to various contracts and system conversion expenses. Merger expenses totaled $0 and $19.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as2022, compared with $3.9 millionto $0 and $11.2$19.0 million for the same periods of 2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an early termination fee of $474,000 was recorded in 2016.relation to the pre-payment of FHLB advances totaling $14 million prior to their respective contractual maturities. Bancorp chose to payoff these term advances during the second quarter of 2021 due to excess liquidity held on the balance sheet and the near-term outlook for low interest rates at the time of payoff. Bancorp currently has no FHLB advances outstanding.

Intangible amortization expense consists of amortization associated with the CDI of acquired deposit portfolios, as well as other intangibles related to customer lists of the WM&T and LFA business lines added through the CB acquisition. The effective rateintangibles are generally amortized on an accelerated basis over a period of approximately ten years. Intangible amortization for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 was $1.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, compared to $290,000 and $494,000 for the same periods of the prior year, the significant increase stemming from the CB acquisition.

Other non-interest expenses increased $507,000 and $3.0 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods of 2021. The most notable drivers of the increases were expenses associated with the addition of the insurance captive as a result of the KB acquisition in May of 2021, increased card reward expense, higher fraud-related expenses and other ancillary expenses tied to Bancorp’s significant growth over the past twelve months.

Bancorp’s efficiency ratio (FTE) for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 was 51.30%, while the ratio for the corresponding nine month period was 62.11%, the latter reflecting one-time merger-related expenses attributed to the CB acquisition, which were all recorded in the first quarter of 2022. Bancorp’s efficiency ratio for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 was 54.63% and 62.47%. Bancorp also considers an adjusted efficiency ratio, which eliminates net gains (losses) on sales, calls, and impairment of investment securities, as well as net gains (losses) on sales of acquired premises and equipment, if applicable, and the fluctuation in non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships and non-recurring merger expenses. Bancorp’s adjusted efficiency ratio was 53.06% and 54.41% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to 53.72% and 51.25% for three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, was 25.9%2021.

Fluctuations in 2017 as compared to 27.1% and 27.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Refer to Footnote 5ETR are primarily attributed to the consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the statutory and effective income tax rates.

Bancorp invests in certain partnerships with customers that yield federal income tax credits, and these tax credits reduce the effective tax rate. The level of this activity for the first nine months of 2017 was less than that of the comparable period in 2016 as is reflected in the comparable effect on effective tax rates for those periods. Taken as a whole, the tax benefit of these investments exceeds amortization expense associated with them, resulting in a positive impact on net income.

The effective tax rate in 2017 was largely reduced by the result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 “Compensation – Stock Compensation Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The new standard requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to share-based payment awards to be reflected in the statement of operations as a component of the provision for income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 Bancorp recorded a benefit of $241 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively for such excess benefits against the provision for income tax expense. Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-09 these tax benefits were recorded directly to additional paid-in capital. Tax benefits recorded to capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $443 thousand and $963 thousand, respectively.

Commitments

Bancorp uses a variety of financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. A discussion of Bancorp’s commitments is included in Note 15.

Other commitments discussed in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, have not materially changed since that report was filed, relative to qualitative and quantitative disclosures of fixed and determinable contractual obligations.following:

 

b)

The stock based compensation component of the ETR fluctuates consistent with the level of SAR exercise activity. The ETR was reduced 1.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to a reduction of 1.7% for the same period of 2021, as a result of increased levels of exercise activity.

Changes in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies can vary widely from period to period, driven largely by changes in the markets. The related impact is inversely correlated with the ETR generally, with cash surrender value declines typically serving to increase the ETR and vice versa. Changes in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies increased the ETR 0.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a 0.7% decrease for the same period of the prior year.

Bancorp invests in certain partnerships that yield federal income tax credits. Taken as a whole, the tax benefit of these investments exceeds amortization expense, resulting in a positive impact on net income. The timing and magnitude of these transactions may vary widely from period to period. The ETR for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was reduced by 0.5% and 1.1%, respectively. The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was reduced by 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively.

Tax-exempt interest income earned on loans and investment securities reduced the ETR 0.7% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to a reduction of 0.3% for the same period of the prior year, the larger reduction in the current year being attributed to tax-exempt loans and securities added through acquisitions over the past twelve months.

Non-deductible merger expenses recorded during the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 served to increase the ETR 0.2%, compared to an increase of 0.5% for the same period of 2021.

As a result of the KB acquisition in May of 2021, Bancorp acquired an insurance captive. The Captive provides insurance against certain risks for which insurance may not currently be available or economically feasible to Bancorp and SYB, as well as a group of third-party insurance captives.  The tax advantages of the Captive, including the tax-deductible nature of premiums paid to the Captive as well as the tax-exemption for premiums received by the Captive, serve to reduce income tax expense. Related activity reduced the ETR 0.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, compared to reduction of 0.2% for the same period of 2021.

September 30, 2022 Compared to December 31, 2021

 

Balance SheetOverview

 

Total assets increased $116.4$908 million, or 3.8%14%, to $3.2$7.55 billion at September 30, 2017 as compared to $3.02022 from $6.65 billion at December 31, 2016. Loans increased $29.72021. Total assets of $1.34 billion were added on March 7, 2022 as a result of the CB acquisition, including loans of $632 million (net of purchase accounting adjustments) and total investment securities of $247 million. In addition, goodwill of $67 million was recorded in relation to the transaction. Total loans (excluding loans added through the CB acquisition and the PPP portfolio) grew $395 million, or 1.3%10%, periodbetween December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022.

Total liabilities increased $853 million, or 14%, to period, with increases primarily in commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate, and to$6.82 billion at September 30, 2022 from $5.97 billion at December 31, 2021. Total liabilities of $1.24 billion were assumed on March 7, 2022 as a lesser degree, 1-4 family residential loans. The most significant decrease was seen in commercial construction and development loans, primarily the result of significant loan principal repayments where maturing loansthe CB acquisition, including total deposits of $1.12 billion. Further, SSUAR totaling $66 million and subordinated debentures of $26 million were not replaced with permanent financing. Securities available-for-salealso assumed as a result of the CB acquisition.

Stockholders’ equity increased $52 million, or 8%, to $728 million at September 30, 2022 from $676 million at December 31, 2021. Stock issued in relation to the CB acquisition, which totaled $134 million, and net income of $63.2 million were offset by $1.4a $120 million negative fluctuation in AOCI and dividends declared during the first nine months of 2017.2022. The majority of this increaselarge decline in AOCI from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 was the result of short-term investments madethe rising interest rate environment and its corresponding impact on the valuation of the AFS debt securities portfolio.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents declined $631 million, or 66%, ending at $330 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $961 million at December 31, 2021. The decline stemmed mainly from loan growth, investment in the securities portfolio and seasonal deposit run-off. The average balance of cash and cash equivalents increased $233 million over the past twelve months, as Bancorp has maintained elevated levels of liquidity stemming from the PPP and deposit growth associated with both acquisition-related activity and the customer base maintaining higher deposit balances in general for several quarters. However, excluding acquisition-related activity, period-end deposit balances have declined in 2022, driven largely by seasonal fluctuation in public funds and time deposit attrition.

Investment Securities

Investment securities increased $447 million, or 38%, to $1.63 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $1.18 billion at December 31, 2021. In addition to $247 million of securities being added as a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp continued to actively invest in the securities portfolio in an effort to deploy excess liquidity by purchasing $640 million of debt securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Partially offsetting growth associated with purchasing and acquisition-related activity was scheduled maturity/amortization and prepayment activity, as well as market depreciation of approximately $158 million stemming from an upward move in the interest rate environment experienced during the first three quarters of 2022.

A portion of the securities added during the first quarter endof 2022, through both acquisition and normal investment activity, were classified as HTM. As of September 30, 2022, Bancorp’s investment security portfolio consisted of AFS and HTM securities as detailed below:

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are presented on the consolidated balance sheets net of related depreciation on the respective assets, as well as fair value adjustments associated with purchase accounting. Premises and equipment increased $22 million, or 28%, between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, driven by the CB acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, 15 branches were acquired, four of which were closed shortly acquisition as a result of overlapping with existing locations of the Bank. Bancorp’s branch network currently consists of 73 locations throughout Louisville, central, eastern and northern, Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio MSAs.

Premises held for sale totaling $10 million are also recorded on Bancorp’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022, which consist of five properties, three of which were added through recent acquisitions and two legacy operational buildings. Bancorp expects the sale of these properties to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2022 or the first part of 2023.

Goodwill

At September 30 2022, Bancorp had $203 million in goodwill recorded on its balance sheet, including $67 million recorded with the March 7, 2022 acquisition of CB. As permitted under GAAP, management has up to 12 months following the date of acquisition to finalize the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities related to the CB acquisition. During this measurement period, Bancorp may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill for provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date.

Events that may trigger goodwill impairment include deterioration in economic conditions, a decline in market-dependent multiples or metrics (i.e. stock price falling below tangible book value), negative trends in overall financial performance and regulatory action. At September 30, 2022, Bancorp elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value, including goodwill. The qualitative assessment indicated that it was not more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of the reporting units exceeded their fair value.

Core Deposit and Customer List Intangibles

CDIs and CLIs arising from business acquisitions are initially measured at fair value and are then amortized on an accelerated method based on their useful lives. As a result of the 2022 CB acquisition, a CDI asset of $13 million was recorded. As a result of the 2021 KB acquisition, a CDI asset of $4 million was recorded. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Bancorp’s CDI assets were $16 million and $6 million, respectively.

CLI assets totaling $14 million were also recorded in association with the CB acquisition. Of this total, $12 million was attributed to CB’s WM&T segment and $2 million attributed to LFA. No similar assets were recorded in relation to the KB acquisition. As of September 30, 2022, Bancorp’s CLI assets totaled $13 million.

Other Assets and Other Liabilities

Other assets increased $50 million, or 58%, to $136 million at September 30, 2022. Other liabilities increased $66 million, or 68%, to $163 million at September 30, 2022.

The increase in other assets stems largely from a $31 million increase in DTAs driven by the significant market depreciation experienced within the AFS debt securities portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 associated with rising interest rates. The rising interest rate environment also drove an $8 million increase in Bancorp’s interest rate swap assets. Further, $13 million in MSR assets were added during the first quarter in relation to the CB acquisition.

As of September 30, 2022, Bancorp did not incur any impairment with respect to its intangible assets or other long-lived assets.

Total loans increased $904 million, or 22%, from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022, driven by the addition of $630 million in loans related to acquisition-related expansion and strong organic loan growth, which more than offset a $121 million decline in the PPP loan portfolio.

Excluding the loans acquired through the CB acquisition and the PPP portfolio, loan growth of $395 million, or 10%, was experienced between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, driven by maturities duringsolid organic growth across virtually every loan portfolio segment.

After hitting a pandemic-era low of 36.5% at March 31, 2021, total line of credit utilization has improved significantly, reaching 39.6% at September 30, 2022, led by C&I utilization, which strengthened from 23.9% to 29.5% over the same period, respectively. However, line of credit usage has remained below pre-pandemic levels, with customers continuing to maintain elevated levels of liquidity amidst current economic uncertainty. Further, the addition of new lines, particularly within the C&D and C&I portfolio segments, has increased availability through the first nine months of 2017. Included in securities available-for-sale are short-term U.S. government sponsored entities. These securities, which totaled $1502022, but utilization of the new lines has been relatively slow.

PPP loans of $19 million were outstanding at September 30, 2017 and $100 million at December 31, 2016, normally have a maturity2022. Bancorp has $380,000 in net unrecognized fees related to the PPP as of less than one month, and are purchased at quarter-end as part of a tax minimization strategy. The remaining variance was attributable to reduction in unrealized losses on the securities portfolio to $431 thousand at September 30, 20172022, which will be recognized immediately once the loans are paid off or forgiven by the SBA. The timing of forgiveness activity and the related fee recognition has become less significant, as compared to unrealized lossesthe balance of $1.9 million at December 31, 2016. Funds from maturing available-for-sale investments were held as cash, or invested short term, to fund future loan growth.

Loan portfolio growth built further on the momentum experienced in the second quarter of 2017, driven by solid loan production that continued to exceed the average pace recorded over the last three years. While all of the Company's markets participated in this growth, Indianapolis, through excellent leadership and a growing lending team, led the way. Still, the conversion of loan production into portfolio growth continued to track below the exceedingly strong rate that characterized 2016 due to several factors, including principal repayments primarily related to commercial construction projects and borrowers who sold collateral or their business. Also, management believes that business owners remain more cautious about the longer-term direction of the economy, awaiting greater clarity on possible tax reform. Considering its loan pipeline, management anticipates continued momentum in net loan growth in the fourth quarter of 2017, although net loan growth could be challenging if loan payoffs persist at high levels.Cincinnati, Ohio MSAs.

 

Bancorp occasionally enters into loan participation agreements with other banks to diversify credit risk. For certain sold participation loans sold, Bancorp has retained effective control of the loans, typically by restricting the participating institutions from pledging or selling their ownership share of the loan without permission from Bancorp. US GAAP requires the participated portion of these loans to be recorded as secured borrowings. These participated loans are included in the commercialC&I and industrial and real estate mortgageCRE loan totals above, andportfolio segments with a corresponding liability is recorded in other liabilities. At both September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, the total participated portionsportion of loans of this nature were $18.3 million and $15.8 million, respectively.

Allowance for loan losses

An allowance for loan losses has been established to provide for probable losses on loans that may not be fully repaid. The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged to expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries, if any. Loans are typically charged off when management deems them uncollectible and after underlying collateral has been liquidated; however, collection efforts continue and future recoveries may occur. Periodically, loans are partially charged off to the net realizable value based upon evaluation of related underlying collateral, including Bancorp’s bias for resolution.

The allowance methodology is driven by risk ratings, historical losses, and qualitative factors. The provision for the first nine months of 2017, and the resulting allowance level, reflected a number of factors, including a slight elevation in classified loans and an expansion of the historical look-back period from 24 quarters to 28 quarters. This expansion of the look-back period was applied to all classes and segments of the portfolio. The expansion of the look-back period for the historical loss rates used in the quantitative allocation caused management to review the overall methodology for the qualitative factors to ensure Bancorp was appropriately capturing the risk not addressed in the historical loss rates used in the quantitative allocation. Management believes the extension of the look-back period is appropriate to ensure capture of the impact of a full economic cycle and more accurately represents the current level of risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Key indicators of loan quality continued to show improvement during 2017, with levels of non-performing loans continuing a five year downward trend. During its review of qualitative factors in the first nine months of 2017, Bancorp noted a potential exposure for one pool of classified loans. Due to this potential exposure, Bancorp increased its qualitative allocation for the allowance for the nine month period.

Additional information regarding Bancorp’s methodology for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss can be read in the Company’s annual 10K.

As of September 30, 2017 the allowance for loan loss was $24.9 million, a $900 thousand increase over the December 31, 2016 balance of $24.0totaled $5 million. For the comparative periods, the allowance as a percent of average loans was 1.09% and 1.11%, respectively. The allowance as a percent of period end loans, as of each period end, was 1.07% and 1.04%, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, non-accrual loans totaled $11 million. The increase in total non-accrual loans between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 stemmed mainly from non-accrual loans added through the CB acquisition.

Delinquent Loans

At2022 and December 31, 2021. The increase between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2017 there2022 was driven mainly by two large C&I relationships that became delinquent. Delinquent loans to total loans were two properties,0.26% at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The ACL for loans is a valuation allowance for loans estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with GAAP. When Bancorp deems all or a combined recorded investmentportion of $75 thousand,a loan to be uncollectible, the appropriate amount is written off and the ACL is reduced by the same amount. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL when received. See the Footnote titled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesfor discussion of Bancorp’s ACL methodology on loans. Allocations of the ACL may be made for specific loans, but the entire ACL for loans is available for any loan that, in Bancorp’s judgment, should be charged-off.

Bancorp’s ACL for loans was $70 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $54 million as of December 31, 2021. The change in the ACL for loans was driven by a number of competing factors, which resulted in the $16 million, or 30%, increase experienced for the first nine months of 2022. Acquisition-related activity was responsible for a total increase to the ACL for loans of $14 million in 2022, comprised of a $10 million day one adjustment for specific reserves placed on acquired PCD loans (offset to goodwill) and $4.4 million of provision for credit loss expense on loans related to the remaining acquired non-PCD loan portfolio.

Provision for credit loss expense on loans (excluding acquisition-related activity) of $2 million was recorded for the first nine months of 2022, further increasing the ACL for loans. Increased expense within the CECL model was driven primarily by significant organic loan growth and increase of the projected unemployment rate forecast, which is the primary loss driver with Bancorp’s CECL model, which has been driven by inflation and recession-based concerns. Partially offsetting the increased expense noted above was the release of approximately $3.0 million in specific reserves within the ACL for individual loans related to recently acquired individual loans that ultimately paid off during the second quarter with no loss or charge-off realized by Bancorp.

In addition, net recovery activity of $153,000 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as charge off and recovery activity for the year has been largely offsetting, serving to increase the ACL for loans.

The ACL for loans calculation and resulting credit loss expense is significantly impacted by changes in forecasted economic conditions. Should the forecast for economic conditions change, Bancorp could experience further adjustments in its required ACL for loans credit loss expense.

No TDRs previously accruing were moved to non-accrual during the three or nine month periods ending September 30, 2017. No TDRs were non-accrual as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

While separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures also experienced an increase between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022. The CB acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures during the first quarter, with the corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense). Provision for credit loss expense of $800,000 was also recorded for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, driven largely by the addition of new construction loans. ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures stood at $4.8 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $3.5 million as of December 31, 2021.

Excluding the deposits acquired through the CB acquisition, deposits decreased $407 million, or 7%, during the first nine months of 2022, attributed mainly to seasonal deposit run-off and time deposit attrition.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

SSUAR represent a funding source of Bancorp and are primarily used by commercial customers in conjunction with collateralized corporate cash management accounts. Such repurchase agreements are considered financing agreements and mature within one business day from the transaction date. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all of these financing arrangements had overnight maturities and were secured by government sponsored enterprise obligations and government agency mortgage-backed securities that were owned and controlled by Bancorp.

SSUARs are collateralized by securities and are treated as financings; accordingly, the securities involved with the agreements are recorded as assets and are held by a safekeeping agent and the obligations to repurchase the securities are reflected as liabilities. All securities underlying the agreements are under the Bank’s control.

SSUARs increased $49 million, or 65%, between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, as SSUAR totaling $66 million were assumed as part of the CB acquisition. The remaining fluctuation in SSUAR is consistent with the decrease in deposit balances previously noted (excluding acquisition-related activity).

Subordinated debentures

As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related interest expense are included in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp’s option on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2022, subordinated notes added through the CB acquisition totaled $26 million.

Liquidity

Liquidity

 

The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositorsdepositors’ withdrawal and borrowers’ credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity is provided by short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash, investmentAFS debt securities, available-for-sale, various lines of credit available to Bancorp, and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally deposits. Management believes it has the ability to increase deposits at any time by offering rates slightly higher than market rate.

 

Bancorp’sBancorp’s Asset/Liability Committee is comprised of senior management and has direct oversight responsibility for Bancorp’s liquidity position and profile. A combination of reports provided to management details internal liquidity metrics, composition and level of the liquid asset portfolio, timing differences in short-term cash flow obligations, and exposure to contingent draws on Bancorp’s liquidity.

Bancorp’s most liquid assets are comprised of cash and due from banks, available-for-sale marketable investment securities, federal funds soldFFS and interest bearing deposits with banks. Federal funds soldAFS debt securities. FFS and interest bearing deposits totaled $81.4$236 million and $899 million at September 30, 2017. These investments2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease experienced for the first nine months of 2022 is attributed to significant investment in the securities portfolio, strong organic loan growth and a general decline in deposits. FFS normally have overnight maturities andwhile interest-bearing deposits in banks are accessible on demand. These investments are used for general daily liquidity purposes.

The fair value of the available-for-sale investmentAFS debt security portfolio was $571.5 million$1.15 billion and $1.18 billion at September 30, 2017.2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. The lack of growth in AFS debt security portfolio for the first nine months of 2022 is attributed to both classifying securities purchased and acquired during the first quarter as HTM for general capital purposes, as well as significant market depreciation experienced on the AFS portfolio since December 31, 2021 due to rising rates. The investment portfolio (HTM and AFS) includes scheduled maturities of $44 million and cash flows on amortizing debt securities of approximately $216.7$223 million (based on assumed prepayment speeds as of September 30, 2022) expected over the next twelve months, including $150 million of short-term securities which matured in October 2017.months. Combined with federal funds soldFFS and interest bearing deposits thesefrom banks, AFS debt securities offer substantial resources to meet either new loan demandgrowth or reductions in Bancorp’s deposit funding base.

At September 30, 2017,2022, such deposits totaled $2.4$5.88 billion and represented 99%90% of Bancorp’s total deposits, as compared to $2.5with $5.05 billion, or 98%87% of total deposits at December 31, 2016.2021. Because these core deposits are less volatile and are often tied to other products of Bancorp through long lasting relationships, they do not put heavyplace undue pressure on liquidity. However, many of Bancorp’s customers’ depositindividual depositors are currently maintaining generally high balances.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash flow is provided primarily through financing activities of Bancorp, which include raising deposits and borrowing funds from institutional sources such as advances from FHLB and FFP, as well as scheduled loan repayments and cash flows from debt securities. These funds are primarily used to facilitate investment activities of Bancorp, which include making loans and purchasing securities for the investment portfolio. Another important source of cash is net income of the Bank from operating activities.  For further detail regarding the sources and uses of cash, see the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

Commitments

In the normal course of business, Bancorp is party to activities that contain credit, market and operational risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. Such activities include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, commitments under operating leases and long-term debt.

Bancorp provides customers with off-balance sheet credit support through loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Unused loan commitments increased $457 million, or 27%, as of September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, the increase being driven by both the CB acquisition and the addition of new lines of credit. Total average line of credit utilization declined to 39.6% as of September 30, 2022 compared to 41.2% at December 31, 2021, however, both represent significant improvement from the pandemic-era low of 36.5% experienced at March 31, 2021. C&I line of credit utilization was 29.5% at September 30, 2022 compared to 31.8% at December 31, 2021 and 28.8% at September 30, 2021.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as collateral is available as agreed upon and there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Bancorp uses the same credit and collateral policies in making commitments and conditional guarantees as for on-balance sheet instruments. Bancorp evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, securities, equipment and real estate. However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should our customers default on their resulting obligation to us, our maximum exposure to credit loss, without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.

The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures, which is separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, stood at $4.8 million and $3.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The CB acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures, with the corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision expense). In addition, $800,000 of provision expense was recorded for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, driven largely by the addition of new lines, and thus increased availability, mainly within the C&D portfolio.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party beneficiary. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support commercial transactions. Standby letters of credit generally have maturities of one to two years.

In addition to owned banking facilities, Bancorp has entered into long-term leasing arrangements for certain branch facilities. Bancorp also has required future payments for a non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan, TPS and the maturity of time deposits.

See the footnote titled “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” for additional detail.

Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2017,2022, stockholders’ equity totaled $334.3$728 million, representing an increase of $20.4$52 million, sinceor 8%, compared to December 31, 2016. See2021. The increase for the Consolidated Statementfirst nine months of Changes2022 was attributed mainly to stock issued in Stockholders’ Equity for further detailrelation to the CB acquisition, which totaled $134 million. Further, net income of $63.2 million was offset by a $120 million negative change in AOCI and dividends declared during the changes in equity since the endfirst nine months of 2015. One component of equity is accumulated other comprehensive income which, for Bancorp,2022. AOCI consists of net unrealized gains or losses on AFS debt securities available-for-sale and hedging instruments, as well as a minimum pension liability, each net of income taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive lossThe large decline in AOCI from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 was $531 thousandthe result of the rising interest rate environment and its corresponding impact on the valuation of the AFS debt securities portfolio. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. See the “Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equityfor further detail of changes in equity. 

As a result of the large interest-rate driven changes in AOCI noted above, as well as acquisition-related growth, Bancorp’s TCE ratio and tangible book value per share, both non-GAAP disclosures, experienced declines between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022. TCE was 6.78% at September 30, 20172022 compared with a loss of $1.5 million onto 8.22% at December 31, 2016.2021, while tangible book value per share was $16.94 at September 30, 2022 compared to $20.09 at December 31, 2021. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP measures.

In May 2021, Bancorp’s Board of Directors extended its share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 1 million shares, or approximately 4% of Bancorp’s total common shares outstanding at the time. The $968 thousand positive difference is primarily a reflectionplan, which will expire in May 2023 unless otherwise extended or completed at an earlier date, does not obligate Bancorp to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares prior to the effectplan’s expiration. Based on economic developments over the past year and the increased importance of the changing interest rate environment duringcapital preservation, no shares were repurchased in 2021, nor the first nine months of 2017 as short term rates increased slightly, while long term rates decreased, which decreased Bancorp’s unrealized loss on securities available2022. Approximately 741,000 shares remain eligible for sale.

As of September 30, 2017, Bancorp meets all requirements to be considered well capitalizedrepurchase under regulatory risk-based capital rules, and is not subject to limitations due to the capital conservation buffer. See Footnote 19 to the consolidated financials for more information regarding Bancorp’s and the Bank’s risk-based capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

e)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, Bancorp considers various ratios when evaluating capital adequacy and overhead, including tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity per share, and adjusted efficiency ratio, all of which are non-GAAP measures.

Bancorp believes the tangible common equity ratios are important because of their widespread use by investors as means to evaluate capital adequacy, as they reflect the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Because US GAAP does not include capital ratio measures, there are no US GAAP financial measures comparable to these ratios.current repurchase plan.

 

 

Stock YardsBank holding companies and their subsidiary banks are required by regulators to meet risk-based capital standards. These standards, or ratios, measure the relationship of capital to a combination of balance sheet and off-balance sheet risks. The value of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted to reflect credit risks. See the Footnote titled “Regulatory Matters” for additional detail regarding regulatory capital requirements, as well as capital ratios of Bancorp inc. and subsidiary

the Bank. The Bank exceeds regulatory capital ratios required to be well-capitalized. Regulatory framework does not define well capitalized for holding companies. Management considers the effects of growth on capital ratios as it contemplates plans for expansion.

These ratios are computed in relation to average assets.

(2)    Ratio is computed in relation to average assets.

Capital ratios as of September 30, 2022 decreased compared December 31, 2021 as a result of substantial average asset and risk-weighted asset growth, driven by both organic and acquisition-related activity. While pressure was placed on risk-based capital and leverage ratios due to this growth, Bancorp continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for all calculations. Bancorp and the Bank intend to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the “well-capitalized” requirements as defined by the FRB and the FDIC, in addition to the capital conservation buffer.

Banking regulators have categorized the Bank as well-capitalized. To meet the definition of well-capitalized for prompt corrective action requirements, a bank must have a minimum 6.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.0% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 10.0% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio and 5.0% Tier 1 Leverage ratio.

Additionally, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, Bancorp and the Bank must hold a 2.5% capital conservation buffer composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for the Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio necessary to be considered adequately-capitalized. At September 30, 2022, the adequately-capitalized minimums, including the capital conservation buffer, were a 7.0% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.5% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and 10.5% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio.

As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related interest expense are included in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp’s option on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2022, subordinated notes added through the CB acquisition totaled $26 million. Further, Bancorp had borrowing capacity of $20 million available through an unsecured borrowing line of the holding company as of September 30, 2022, which was added during the first quarter to allow capital flexibility at the Bank level.

As permitted by the interim final rule issued on March 27, 2020 by the federal banking regulatory agencies, Bancorp elected the option to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital related to the adoption of ASC 326 “Financial Instruments Credit Losses,or CECL, which was effective January 1, 2020. The initial impact of adoption of ASC 326, as well as 25% of the quarterly increases in the ACL subsequent to adoption of ASC 326 (collectively the “transition adjustments”) were declared to be delayed for two years. After two years, the cumulative amount of the transition adjustments will become fixed and will be phased out of the regulatory capital calculations evenly over a three-year period, with 75% recognized in year three, 50% recognized in year four and 25% recognized in year five. After five years, the temporary regulatory capital benefits will be fully reversed. Had Bancorp not elected to defer the regulatory capital impact of CECL, the post ASC 326 adoption capital ratios of Bancorp and the Bank would have exceeded the well-capitalized level.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following table provides a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP to tangible stockholders’ equity (TCE), a non-GAAP disclosure. Bancorp provides the TCE per share, a non-GAAP measure, in addition to those defined by banking regulators, based on its widespread use by investors as a means to evaluate capital adequacy:

The general decline between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 for the ratios displayed in the table above is attributed mainly to unrealized losses within the AFS debt securities portfolio stemming from the significant increase in interest rates during the nine months of 2022, which drove a $120 million decline in AOCI and as a result, a decline in stockholders equity. Further, acquisition-related growth served to increase goodwill and total assets, which also contributed to lower ratios.

The ACL for loans to total non-PPP loans represents the ACL for loans, divided by total loans less PPP loans. Non-performing loans to total non-PPP loans represents non-performing loans, divided by total loans less PPP loans. Delinquent loans to total non-PPP loans represents delinquent loans (consisting of all loans 30 days or more past due), divided by total loans less PPP loans. Bancorp believes these non-GAAP disclosures are important because they provide comparable ratios after eliminating PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed by the SBA and have not been allocated for within the ACL and are not at risk of non-performance.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, equals total non-interest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income FTE and non-interest income. In addition to the efficiency ratio normally presented, Bancorp considers an adjusted efficiency ratio. Bancorp believes excludingit is important because it provides a comparable ratio after eliminating net gains (losses) on sales, calls, and impairment of investment securities, as well as net gains (losses) on sales of acquired premises and equipment, if applicable, and the fluctuation in non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships from non-interest expense in this ratio is important because it provides a meaningful comparison to both prior periods, since amortization expense can fluctuate widely between periods depending upon timing of tax credits, and to other companies who do not invest in these partnerships.non-recurring merger expenses.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The ASU was originally effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which delayed the effective date. The effective date will be annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the interim periods within that year. Bancorp has reviewed existing contractual arrangements and believes the majority of revenue earned is excluded from the scope of the pronouncement and the impact of adoption if any would be minimal. Bancorp continues to evaluate and develop processes and controls for procedural and disclosure requirements of the standard.

The FASB also issued a series of other ASUs, which update ASU 2014-09. The effective dates for ASU 2014-09 have been updated by ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date. For public business entities, certain employee benefit plans, and certain not-for-profit entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Bancorp is including these ASUs in its evaluation and implementation efforts relative to ASU 2014-09.

     ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)

     ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing

     ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Because Bancorp does not have significant investments in equity securities, the adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on Bancorp’s operations or financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize on the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for lease term. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendment should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Bancorp has evaluated existing lease commitments and does not expect adoption to significantly impact Bancorp’s financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. This standard will likely have a significant impact on the way Bancorp recognizes credit impairment on loans. Under current US GAAP, credit impairment losses are determined using an incurred-loss model, which recognizes credit losses only when it is probable that all contractual cash flows will not be collected. The initial recognition of loss under CECL differs from current US GAAP because recognition of credit losses will not be based on any triggering event. This should generally result in credit impairment being recognized earlier and immediately after the financial asset is originated or purchased. Bancorp continues to evaluate existing accounting processes, internal controls, and technology capabilities to determine what additional changes will be needed to address the new requirements. These processes and controls require significant judgment, collection and analysis of additional data, and use of estimates. Technology and other resources have been upgraded or modified to capture additional data to support the accounting and disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of the ASU is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The ASU’s amendments add or clarify guidance on eight cash flow issues. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented but may apply it prospectively from the earliest date practicable if retrospective application would be impracticable. Bancorp does not anticipate that adoption of the ASU will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc. and subsidiary

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires entities to recognize at the transaction date the income tax consequences of inter-company asset transfers other than inventory. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities may early adopt the ASU, but only at the beginning of an annual period for which no financial statements (interim or annual) have already been issued or made available for issuance. Bancorp does not expect adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires companies to include cash and cash equivalents that have restrictions on withdrawal or use in total cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, adjustments should be reflected at the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Bancorp does not expect adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides a new framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. For all other entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities may early adopt the ASU and apply it to transactions that have not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. Bancorp does not expect adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings (SEC Update), which incorporates into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification recent SEC guidance about disclosing, under SEC SAB Topic 11.M, the effect on financial statements of adopting the revenue, leases, and credit losses standards. The SEC staff had previously announced that registrants should include the disclosures starting with their December 2017 financial statements. Bancorp is evaluating the potential impact of implementation of this standard on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which requires an entity to no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. The changes are effective for public business entities that are SEC filers, for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities may early adopt the standard for goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. Bancorp does not expect adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the guidance in Subtopic 610-20 on accounting for derecognition of a nonfinancial asset. The ASU also defines in-substance nonfinancial assets and includes guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. An entity is required to apply the amendments in this ASU at the same time that it applies ASU 2014-09. Bancorp does not expect adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Stock Yards Bancorp, inc. and subsidiary

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line items in which they report compensation cost. Companies will present all other components of net benefit cost outside operating income, if this subtotal is presented. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. Bancorp does not expect adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting which clarifies what constitutes a modification of a share-based payment award. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. Bancorp does not expect adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260),Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatory Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatory Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception, which makes limited changes to as to classifying certain financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Because Bancorp does not have financial instruments with a down round feature, the implementation of ASU 2017-11 is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); Targeted Improvements for Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements under ASC 815. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of this standard is permitted upon its issuance. Bancorp does not expect adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Bancorp maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information it is required to disclose in the reports it filesInc.’s management, with the Securitiesparticipation of its CEO and Exchange Commission (SEC), and to record, process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rulesCFO, of the SEC.

Based on their evaluation of Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers have concluded that, becauseeffectiveness of the material weakness described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, Bancorp’sCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in RulesRule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were not effective as of September 30, 2017. However, based on a number of factors, we believe. Based upon that evaluation, the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial positionCompany’s CEO and results of operation and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with US GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

With regard to the material weakness, our remediation efforts began during the first quarter of 2017. We continue to strengthen how certain controls are designed, performed and documented. We have increased staffing in the internal loan review department, and engaged a third party to assist with loan review. We must now demonstrate the effectiveness ofCFO concluded that these changes with an appropriate amount of consistency and for a sufficient period of time to conclude that the control is functioning properly. Other than these changes, based on the evaluation of Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In addition, no change in the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, there were no significant changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 in Bancorp’sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Bancorp’sthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
