Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaU.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of other real estate, the valuation of debt and equity securities, the valuation of deferred tax assets and fair values of financial instruments.


The consolidatedconsolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2017,2021, and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016,2020, included herein have not been audited. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP and Article 108 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

Proposed Merger with Community First, Inc.

On August 22, 2017, Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. and Reliant Bank entered into an Agreement and Plan2021.


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Information about certain issued accounting standards updates is presented below. Also refer to Note 1 - Summary of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Community First, Inc. and Community First Bank & Trust, Columbia, Tennessee, that providesSignificant Accounting Policies, in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the combinationyear ended December 31, 2020 for additional information related to previously issued accounting standards updates.

ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The guidance issued in this update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition for deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also simplifies aspects of the companies. Underaccounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the Merger Agreement,accounting for transactions that result in a wholly owned subsidiarystep-up in the tax basis of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. will mergegoodwill. ASU 2019-12 was effective for us on January 1, 2021, and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Topic 848 amendments to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. It provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has evaluated the effect of the pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements, noting no significant impact.

Newly Issued not yet Effective Accounting Standards
ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available for sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with and into Community First, Inc. with Community First, Inc.credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is expected to be effective for the surviving corporationCompany on January 1, 2023. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's financial statements by developing an implementation plan to include assessment of processes, portfolio segmentation, model development, system requirements and becomingthe identification of data and resource needs, among other things. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 could result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses as a wholly owned subsidiaryresult of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. (the “Merger”)changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitate that we establish an allowance for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326), Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), and Financial Instruments (ASC 825). As soon as reasonably practicable followingThe amendments in this ASU improve the Mergercodification by eliminating inconsistencies and as part of a single integrated transaction, Community First, Inc. will merge with and into Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. (the “Second Step Merger” and, togetherproviding clarifications. The amended guidance in this ASU related to credit losses is expected to be effective for the Company in conjunction with the Merger, collectively, the “Mergers”). The Merger Agreement also contemplates that, immediately following the completionadoption of the Second Step Merger, Community First Bank & Trust,standard on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the wholly owned bank subsidiaryimpact of Community First, Inc.,these ASUs on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. While we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting these ASUs, we expect that the impact of adoption will merge withbe significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and into Reliant Bank, with Reliant Bankquality of the Company's loan and securities portfolios as well as the surviving bank (the “Bank Merger”).

Pursuant to the termsprevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Community First, Inc. common stock (except for specified shares of Community First, Inc. common stock held by Community First, Inc. or Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. and any dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive 0.481 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. common stock. Although the Exchange Ratio is fixed, the market value of the merger consideration will fluctuate with the market price of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. common stock and will not be known until the Merger is consummated. As of the date of the Merger Agreement, Community First, Inc. had 5,025,883.87134 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (including shares of restricted stock) and 20,700 outstanding stock options, all of which are, or will be at or prior to the effective time of the Merger, fully vested and exercisable.

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial, industrial and agricultural: The commercial, industrial and agricultural loan portfolio segment includes loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases or other expansion projects. Collection risk in this portfolio is driven by the creditworthiness of underlying borrowers, particularly cash flow from customers’ business operations. Commercial, industrial and agricultural loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Multi-family and commercial real estate: Multi-family and commercial real estate and multi-family loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial, industrial and agricultural loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate.

Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. The Company also utilizes third-party experts to provide insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends affecting the market areas it serves. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are loans secured by multifamily and commercial properties where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (that is, loans for which 50 percent or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, nonaffiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. These loans are made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail properties. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are loans where the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and business activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Construction and land development:Loans for non-owner-occupied real estate construction or land development are generally repaid through cash flow related to the operation, sale or refinance of the property. The Company also finances construction loans for owner-occupied properties. A portion of the Company’s construction and land portfolio segment is comprised of loans secured by residential product types (residential land and single-family construction). With respect to construction loans to developers and builders that are secured by non-owner occupied properties that the Company may originate from time to time, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success. Construction and land development loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, market sales activity, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

1-4 family residential real estate: Residential real estate loans represent loans to consumers or investors to finance a residence. These loans are typically financed on 15 to 30 year amortization terms, but generally with shorter maturities of 5 to 15 years. Many of these loans are extended to borrowers to finance their primary or secondary residence. Loans to an investor secured by a 1-4 family residence will be repaid from either the rental income from the property or from the sale of the property. This loan segment also includes closed-end home equity loans that are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence. This allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home. Loans in this portfolio segment are underwritten and approved based on a number of credit quality criteria including limits on maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV), minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income. Real estate market values as of the time the loan is made directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in addition, changes in these residential property values impact the depth of potential losses in this portfolio segment.

1-4 family HELOC: This loan segment includes open-end home equity loans that are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence. This allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home utilizing a revolving line of credit. These loans are underwritten and approved based on a number of credit quality criteria including limits on maximum LTV, minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income. Real estate market values as of the time the loan is made directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in addition, changes in these residential property values impact the depth of potential losses in this portfolio segment. Because of the revolving nature of these loans as well as the fact that many represent second mortgages, this portfolio segment can contain more risk than the amortizing 1-4 family residential real estate loans.

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio segment includes non-real estate secured direct loans to consumers for household, family, and other personal expenditures. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured and are usually structured with short or medium term maturities. These loans are underwritten and approved based on a number of consumer credit quality criteria including limits on maximum LTV on secured consumer loans, minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income. Many traditional forms of consumer installment credit have standard monthly payments and fixed repayment schedules of one to five years. These loans are made with either fixed or variable interest rates that are based on specific indices. Installment loans fill a variety of needs, such as financing the purchase of an automobile, a boat, a recreational vehicle, or other large personal items, or for consolidating debt. These loans may be unsecured or secured by an assignment of title, as in an automobile loan, or by money in a bank account. In addition to consumer installment loans, this portfolio segment also includes secured and unsecured personal lines of credit as well as overdraft protection lines. Loans in this portfolio segment are sensitive to unemployment and other key consumer economic measures.

The Company utilizes a risk grading system to monitor the credit quality of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio which consists of commercial industrial and agricultural,industrial, commercial real estate and construction loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. Grades 1 - 5 are pass credits, grade 6 is special mention, grade 7 is substandard, grade 8 is doubtful and grade 9 is loss. A description of the risk grades are as follows:

Grade 1 - Minimal Risk (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers with a strong financial position and history of profits and cash flows sufficient to service the debt. These borrowers have well defined sources of primary/secondary repayment, conservatively leveraged balance sheets and the ability to access a wide range of financing alternatives. Collateral securing these loans is negotiable, of sufficient value and in possession of the Company. Risk of loss is unlikely.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Grade 2 - High Quality (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers with a strong financial condition reflecting dependable net profits and cash flows. The borrower has verifiable liquid net worth providing above average asset protection. An identifiable market exists for the collateral. Risk of loss is unlikely.

Grade 3 - Above Average (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers with a balance sheet that reflects a comfortable degree of leverage and liquidity. Borrowers are profitable and have a sustained record of servicing debt. An identifiable market exists for the collateral, but liquidation could take up to one year. Risk of loss is unlikely.

Grade 4 - Average (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers with a financial condition that is satisfactory and comparable to industry standards. The borrower has verifiable net worth, providing over time, average asset protection. Borrower cash flows are sufficient to satisfy debt service requirements. Risk of loss is below average.

Grade 5 - Acceptable (Management Attention) (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers whose loans are performing, but sources of repayment are not documented by the current credit analysis. There are some declining trends in margins, ratios and/or cash flow. Guarantor(s) have strong net worth(s), but assets may be concentrated in real estate or other illiquid investments. Risk of loss is average.

Grade 6 - Special Mention

Special mention assets have potential weaknesses that may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s position at some future date. These assets pose elevated risk, but their weakness does not yet justify a substandard classification. Borrowers may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet (e.g., increasing inventory without an increase in sales, high leverage, tight liquidity). Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure special mention include management problems, pending litigation, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices. The special mention rating is designed to identify a specific level of risk and concern about asset quality.Although a special mention asset has a higher probability of default than a pass asset, its default is not imminent.

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Grade 7 - Substandard

A ‘‘‘‘substandard’’ extension of credit is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Extensions of credit so classified should have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard credits, does not have to exist in individual extensions of credit classified as substandard. Substandard assets have a high probability of payment default, or they have other well-defined weaknesses. They require supervision that is more intensive supervision by Company management. Substandard assets are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigation.

14

Table of Contents


Grade 8 - Doubtful

An extension of credit classified ‘‘‘‘doubtful’’ has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage of and strengthen the credit, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors may include a proposed merger or acquisition, liquidation proceedings, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, or refinancing plans. Generally, the doubtful classification should not extend for a long period of time because in most cases the pending factors or events that warranted the doubtful classification should be resolved either positively or negatively in a reasonable period of time.

Grade 9 - Loss

Extensions of credit classified ‘‘‘‘loss’’ are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the credit has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Amounts classified loss should be promptly charged off. The Company will not attempt long term recoveries while the credit remains on the Company’s books. Losses should be taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible. With loss assets, the underlying borrowers are often in bankruptcy, have formally suspended debt repayments, or have otherwise ceased normal business operations. Once an asset is classified loss, there is little prospect of collecting either its principal or interest.


Loans not falling in the criteria above are considered to be pass-rated loans.

Non-commercial purpose loans are initially assigned a default loan grade of 99 (Pass) and are risk graded (Grade 6, 7, or 8) according to delinquency status when applicable.

Restructured Loans

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded investments in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) of $2,903 and $4,236, respectively. The Company did not allocate a specific allowance for those loans at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and there were no commitments to lend additional amounts. Loans accounted for as TDR 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. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. Loans accounted for as TDR are individually evaluated for impairment.

There were no TDR modifications in the three and nine months ending September 30, 2021 or the three months ended September 30, 2017, there was a $2 reduction in the allowance for loan losses related to purchased credit impaired loans.

Programs as part of COVID-19 Relief

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was signed into law in March 2020 and subsequently amended, along with subsequent regulatory guidance encouraged financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR as defined by U.S. GAAP beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of January 1, 2022 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak terminates. The following table outlines the Company's recorded investment and percentage of loans held for investment by class of financing receivable for Company executed deferrals that remain on deferral at September 30, 2021, in connection with Company COVID-19 relief programs. These remaining deferrals typically modify the loans such that they are interest-only for a period of time and were not considered TDRs under the interagency regulatory guidance or the CARES Act.

Active Deferrals% of Loans
Multi-family and Commercial$67,372 2.82 %

The CARES Act provides over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to administer new loan programs including, but not limited to, the guarantee of loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 7 PPP loans outstanding amounting to $292 which are included in the commercial, industrial, and agricultural segment. PPP loans do not have a corresponding allowance as they are fully guaranteed by the SBA. Fees range from 1% to 5% of the loan and are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan. As PPP loans are forgiven, any deferred loan fee or cost is recognized related to each individual loan. As of September 30, 2021, $83,075 in PPP loans had cumulatively been forgiven of the $83,366 in loan originations since the CARES Act’s inception.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVES

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $10,000 as of September 30, 2021 were designated as cash flow hedges of certain variable rate subordinated debentures, which are fully effective. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets (liabilities) with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining terms of the swap agreements. Losses of $2,290 and $5,149 were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into net income related to the $100 million and $150 million in swaps which were terminated during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.


Summary information related to the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2021, is as follows:

NOTE 5 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In 2006, the board of directors and shareholders of the Bank (then known as "Commerce Union Bank") approved the Commerce Union Bank Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provided for the granting of stock options for up to 625,000 shares of Bank common stock to employees and organizers and authorized the issuance of Bank common stock upon the exercise of such options. As part of the Bank's reorganization into a holding company corporate structure in 2012, all Bank options were replaced with Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. (now known as "Reliant Bancorp, Inc.") options with no change in terms.

On March 10, 2015, the allowanceshareholders of Reliant Bancorp (then known as "Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc.") approved the Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “A&R Plan”), which permits the grant of awards with respect to up to 1,250,000 shares of Reliant Bancorp common stock in the form of stock options. As part of the merger of Commerce Union Bank and Reliant Bank in 2015, all outstanding stock options of Reliant Bank were converted to stock options of Reliant Bancorp (then known as "Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc.") under the A&R Plan. Under the A&R Plan, stock option awards may be granted in the form of incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options, and are generally exercisable for loan lossesup to 10 years following the date such option awards are granted. Exercise prices of incentive stock options must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of Reliant Bancorp's common stock on the grant date.
On June 18, 2015, the shareholders of Reliant Bancorp (then known as "Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc.") approved the Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which reserves up to 900,000 shares of Reliant Bancorp common stock to be subject to awards under the plan, including awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock grants, performance-based awards, and other awards denominated or payable by reference to or based on or related to purchased credit impaired loans.

NOTE 6 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action or affect the amount of dividends the Company and the Bank may distribute. Management believes that as of September 30, 2021, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

NOTE 48 - FAIR VALUESVALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Financial accounting standards relating to fair value measurements establish a framework for measuring fair value.value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2

Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by the observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.


Level 1    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2    Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by the observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

An asset’sasset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.


Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


Securities available for sale:The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used 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). The Company obtains fair value measurements for securities available for sale from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, cash flows and reference data, including market research publications, among other things.


Interest rate swaps:The fair values of interest rate swaps and fair value hedges are determined based on estimated discounted future cash flows.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include the following:


Impaired Loans: The fair value of an impaired loansloan with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s effective rate as the discount rate or recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Mortgage Loans Held ForSale


Other Real Estate and Repossessed Assets:The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale are valued at the lowerother real estate and repossessed assets is generally based on recent appraisals less estimated disposition cost. These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of cost or market on an aggregate basis. When the aggregate fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is less than cost, an allowance is recorded. The Company utilizes a third party to value the mortgage loans held for sale portfolio usingapproaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available with consideration of specific attributes of the loans.available. Such adjustments are typically not significant and result in a Level 23 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

There were no changes in valuation methodologies used during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.


The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.values. Furthermore, while the Company’s valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

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.items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

The methodsmethods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:


Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, restricted equity securities, federal funds sold or purchased, demand deposits, and variable rate loans or deposits that re-price frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent re-pricing or re-pricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair value of debt is based on discounted cash flows using current rates for similar financing.

NOTE 5 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

In 2006, the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Bank approved the Commerce Union Bank Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of stock options, and authorizes the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of such options, for up to 625,000 shares of common stock to employees and organizers of the Company. As part of a reorganization, all Commerce Union Bank options were replaced with Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. options with no change in terms. On March 10, 2015, the shareholders of the Company approved the Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan that permits the grant of awards of up to 1,250,000 shares of the Company common stock in the form of stock options. As part of the merger with Reliant Bank, all outstanding stock options of Reliant Bank were converted to stock options of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. under this plan.

Under the Stock Option Plan, stock option awards may be granted in the form of incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options, and are generally exercisable for up to ten years following the date such option awards are granted. Exercise prices of incentive stock options must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.

On June 18, 2015, the shareholders of Commerce Union approved the Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the issuance of up to 900,000 shares of common stock in the form of stock options, restricted stock grants or grants for performance-based compensation.

NOTE 5 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At September 30, 2017, the unrecognized future compensation expense to be recognized for stock compensation totals $1,569.

NOTE 6 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believes as of September 30, 2017, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

In July 2013, the FDIC approved final rules that substantially amend the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to the Company and the Bank. The final rules implement the regulatory capital reforms of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision reflected in “Basel III: A Global Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems” (Basel III) and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

Under these rules, the leverage and risk-based capital ratios of bank holding companies may not be lower than the leverage and risk-based capital ratios for insured depository institutions. The final rules implementing Basel III became effective on January 1, 2015, and include new minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios and a new common equity tier 1 ratio. In addition, these rules refine the definition of what constitutes capital for purposes of calculating those ratios, including the definitions of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital.

NOTE 6 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED)

Basel III establishes a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% which began phasing in on January 1, 2016, at a rate of .625% per year. The buffer becomes fully phased in on January 1, 2019. An institution is subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if capital levels fall below minimum levels plus the buffer.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVES

The Company has swap agreements that were executed upon the purchase of investment grade municipal securities effectively converting the fixed municipal yields to floating rates. These fair value hedges are intended to reduce the interest rate risk associated with the underlying hedged item by mitigating the changes in fair value based on fluctuations in interest rates.

The total notional amount of swap agreements was $21,505 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017, the contracts had fair values totaling $23 recorded in other assets and $448 recorded in other liabilities. At December 31, 2016, the contracts had fair values totaling $195 recorded in other assets and $267 recorded in other liabilities.

The derivative instruments held by the Company are designated and qualify as fair value hedges. Accordingly, the gain or loss on the derivatives as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the available-for-sale securities attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. At September 30, 2017, the Company’s fair value hedges are effective and are not expected to have a significant impact on net income over the next twelve months.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

Income tax expensetotaled $306 and $1,005 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as2021 totaled $3,551 and $9,733, respectively, compared to $619$2,800 and $1,775 in the comparative periods in 2016. The tax rate was favorably impacted by an increase in income from tax-exempt securities, excess tax benefits recognized relating to the exercise of stock options and the addition of certain state tax credits on interest-free loans.

NOTE 11 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (v) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and (viii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale.

Previously, such excess tax benefits were recorded as additional paid-in capital, and tax deficiencies were charged to additional paid in capital to the extent of prior excess tax benefits. Additionally, excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity rather than a financing activity, as was previously the case. ASU 2016-09 also provides that an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. ASU 2016-09 became effective on January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected early adoption of this update and as a result recognized in income tax expense an excess tax benefit of $82 and $181 related to the exercise of stock options during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively and $106 and $5312020, respectively. The effective tax rate for the corresponding periodsthree and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 20.3% and 19.6%, respectively, compared to 19.0% and 16.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein along with ourReliant Bancorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 14, 2017.for the year ended December 31, 2020. Amounts in the narrative are shown in thousands, except for economic and demographic information, numbers of shares, per share amounts and as otherwise noted.

Critical Accounting Policies

TheEstimates


Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles we follow(“U.S. GAAP”) and our methods of applying these principles conform with U.S. GAAP and with general practices within the banking industry. There have been no significant changesWithin our financial statements, certain financial information contain approximate measurements of financial effects of transactions and impacts at the consolidated balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods. We monitor the status of proposed and newly issued accounting standards to evaluate the impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Our accounting policies, including the impact of newly issued accounting standards, are discussed in further detail in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the notes to our critical accounting policies as describedconsolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The following is a brief summary2020. Subsequent adoptions and changes to critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are further described in Note 1 within "Part 1. Financial Information - Notes to consolidated financial statements" of this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Quarterly Report contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Members of Company management use these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the moreCompany’s performance, financial condition, and efficiency of operations. Management of the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results with prior periods, and demonstrate the effects of significant policies.

Principlesgains and charges in the periods presented. Management of Consolidation

The consolidatedthe Company also believes that investors find these non-GAAP financial statementsmeasures useful as ofthey assist investors in understanding underlying operating performance and identifying and analyzing ongoing operating trends. However, the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the periods presentedmost directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein are calculated may differ from the manner in which measures with similar names are calculated by other companies. You should understand how other companies calculate their financial measures similar to, or with names similar to, the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed herein when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.


The non-GAAP measures in this Quarterly Report include the accounts of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, Reliant Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s 51% controlled subsidiary, Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC, collectively (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During 2011, the Bank and another entity organized Reliant Mortgage Ventures. Under the related operating agreement, the non-controlling member receives 70% of the profits of the mortgage venture, and the Bank receives 30% of the profits once the non-controlling member recovers its aggregate losses. The non-controlling member is responsible for 100% of the mortgage venture’s“adjusted net losses. As of September 30, 2017, the cumulative lossesinterest margin (NIM),” “adjusted net income,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS),” “adjusted annualized return on average assets (ROAA),” “adjusted annualized return on average equity (ROAE),” “adjusted annualized return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE),” “adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income,” “tangible common equity to date totaled $4,197 prior to intercompany eliminations. Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC will have to generate net income of this amount before the Company will participate in future earnings.

Purchased Loans

The Company maintains an allowancetangible assets (TCE/TA),” “tangible book value per share,” “allowance for loan losses onplus unaccreted purchased loans based on credit deterioration subsequentloan discounts to the acquisition date. In accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations, because we recorded all acquiredtotal loans, at fair value as” “bank segment adjusted net income,” “bank segment adjusted noninterest expense,” “bank segment adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted cost of the datefunds,” “adjusted cost of the reverse merger (discussed below), we did not establish an allowance for loan losses on anyinterest-bearing liabilities,” and “adjusted cost of the loans we purchased as of the acquisition date as any credit deterioration evident in the loans was included in the determination of the acquisition date fair values. For purchased credit-impaired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, management establishes an allowance for loan losses subsequent to the date of acquisition by re-estimating expected cash flows on these loans on a quarterly basis, with any decline in expected cash flows due to a credit triggering impairment recorded as provision for loan losses. The allowance established is the excess of the loan’s carrying value over the present value of projected future cash flows, discounted at the current accounting yield of the loan or the fair value of collateral (less estimated costs to sell) for collateral dependent loans. These cash flow evaluations are inherently subjective as they require material estimates, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. While the determination of specific cash flows involves estimates, each estimate is unique to the individual loan,deposits.”


Executive Overview and none is individually significant. For non-purchased credit-impaired loans acquired in the reverse merger and that are accounted for under ASC 310-20, the historical loss estimates are based on the historical losses experienced by Reliant Bank for loans with similar characteristics as those acquired other than purchased credit-impaired loans. We record an allowance for loan losses only when the calculated amount exceeds the remaining credit mark established at acquisition.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using historical loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, current economic conditions (national and local), and other factors such as changes in interest rates, portfolio concentrations, changes in the experience, ability, and depth of the lending function, levels of and trends in charged-off loans, recoveries, past-due loans and volume and severity of classified loans. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. All classified loans and loans on non-accrual status or 90+ days past due still accruing are individually evaluated for impairment. Factors considered in determining if a loan is impaired include the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the risk rating of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value (less estimated costs to sell) of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless the principal amount is deemed fully collectible, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. When recognition of interest income on a cash basis is appropriate, the amount of income recognized is limited to what would have been accrued on the remaining principal balance at the contractual rate. Cash payments received over this limit, and not applied to reduce the loans remaining principal balance, are recorded as recoveries of prior charge-offs until these charge-offs have been fully recovered.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note to the consolidated financial statements. 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 the estimates.

(1) The swap termination fees included in the adjusted net interest income calculation in the second and third quarters of 2021 were done so in conjunction with securities sales thereby nullifying the effects on net income. Therefore, we have not adjusted for these transactions as adjusted net income.
(2) Securities sold in the second and third quarters of 2021 were done in conjunction with the swap termination fees. Therefore, we have adjusted for both sides of this transaction.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact

During 2020, the COVID-19 health pandemic created a crisis resulting in volatility in financial markets, sudden, unprecedented job losses, and disruption in consumer and commercial behavior, resulting in governments in the United States and globally to intervene with varying levels of direct monetary support and fiscal stimulus packages. All industries, municipalities and consumers have been impacted by the health crisis to some degree, including the markets that we serve. In attempts to “flatten the curve”, businesses not deemed essential were closed or constrained to capacity limitations, individuals were asked to restrict their movements, observe social distancing and shelter in place. These actions resulted in rapid decreases in commercial and consumer activity, temporary closures of many businesses, leading to a loss of revenues and somewhat offset by ana rapid increase in unemployment, widening of credit spreads, dislocation of bond markets, disruption of global supply chains and changes in consumer spending behavior. As certain restrictions began lifting and more businesses were allowed to open their doors in late 2020, we began to experience a slow improvement in commerce through much of our footprint, which continued into the first half of 2021 with further easing of restrictions and increasing availability of vaccinations. Despite the pickup in economic activity, commercial and consumer activity has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Although most restrictions were lifted and vaccines became widely available during the first half of 2021, during the summer of 2021, concern began building regarding the potential impact the new Delta variant of the virus may have on the global economy and the efficacy of available vaccines to protect against widespread infection. As such, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the long term effects on the global economy, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company has taken several actions to offer various forms of support to our customers and communities impacted by the virus. In addition, the Company continues to take deliberate actions to ensure the continued health and strength of its balance sheet, including increases in liquidity and managing assets and liabilities in order to maintain a strong capital position.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
The largest component of our net income is net interest income - the difference between the income earned on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets and interest expense on deposit accounts and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by total average interest-earning assets represents our net interest margin. The major factors that affect net interest income and a declinenet interest margin are changes in income taxes. Our earnings per share declined withvolumes, the change in earningsyield on interest-earning assets and the greater numbercost of average shares outstanding dueinterest-bearing liabilities. Our margin can also be affected by economic conditions, the competitive environment, loan demand and deposit flow. Our ability to respond to changes in these factors by using effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to maintaining the exercisestability of Company stock optionsthe net interest margin and the private offering.

AnalysisFor the three and nineContents

Three months ended September 30, 2017,2021 compared to three months ended September 30, 2020
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of approximately $9.1 million and $25.6 million, respectively,$29,946 which resulted in a net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average balance of interest earninginterest-earning assets) of 4.08% and 4.04% respectively. For4.22% as compared to 4.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loan yields and a $2,290 swap termination fee incurred during the quarter which is reflected in the cost of funds. The adjusted net interest margin, which excludes this fee impact as well as the benefits from purchase accounting accretion, showed continued improvement as it increased 41 basis points from the prior year to 4.40%. Net income and earnings per share during the quarter were not materially affected by this termination fee as securities were sold for a gain of $2,419 to offset the swap termination transaction.

The components of our loan yield, a key driver to our NIM for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, were as follows:

(2)    Includes $176 and $455 in PPP related fees for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Our combined loan and loan fee yield decreased from 5.11% to 5.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as purchase accounting accretion decreased during the quarter. Our year-over-year quarterly average loan volume increased by approximately 0.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 and when PPP loans are excluded, average loan volume increased by 1.6%.

Accretion on purchased loans contributed 17 basis points to the NIM for three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the 49 basis points contributed in the comparable period in 2020, and $12.0 million of purchase accounting accretion remained as of September 30, 2021. Contractual interest and origination fees on PPP loans contributed 1 basis point to the NIM for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as fees are recognized upon forgiveness compared to decreasing NIM by 6 basis points in the comparable period in 2020 due to the low comparative loan yield driven by the increased PPP loan volume in 2020. We anticipate recognizing $11 in deferred origination fees over the remaining life of the PPP loan portfolio.

Our cost of funds decreased to 0.74% from 0.79% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Cost of funds excluding the swap termination fee decreased 39 basis points as rates continue to decline and our team continues to focus on reducing more costly time deposits and retaining lower cost customer deposits. Average retail time deposits decreased 38.4% year-over-year compared to the increase in average total deposits of 1.3%. In addition to the 4 basis point increase in cost of deposits, or 36 basis point decrease when excluding swap termination fees, cost of funds benefited from a decrease in the cost of FHLB advances of 69 basis points as the average balance decreased 73.6% as a result of the prepayments in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2020

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of approximately $7.8 million and $24.6 million, respectively,$90,573 which resulted in a net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average balance of 3.98% and 4.20%, respectively.

Forinterest-earning assets) of 4.28% compared to 4.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 20172020.

Our combined loan and loan fee yield increased from 5.08% to 5.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The effects of the declining interest rate environment were offset by the realization of additional interest income related to the FABK acquisition which occurred on April 1, 2020. Our year-over-year average loan volume increased by approximately 10.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and was 3.89%largely driven by the FABK Transaction.

Contractual interest and 4.09%, respectively. The main factor contributingorigination fees on PPP loans contributed 5 basis points to the NIM for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as fees are recognized upon forgiveness as compared to decreasing NIM by 6 basis points in the comparable period in 2020 due to the increased PPP loan volume in 2020 compared to the loan yield in 2020.

Our cost of funds decreased to 0.79% from 0.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as rates continue to decline and our team continues to focus on reducing more costly time deposits and retaining lower cost customer deposits. When excluding the swap termination fees incurred in the second and third quarters of 2021, cost of funds decreased 44 basis points to 0.53%. Average retail time deposits decreased 31.4% year-over-year compared to the increase in our net interest income was our earning asset growth outpacing our interest-bearing liability growthaverage total deposits of 15.8%. In addition to the 17 basis point decrease in cost of deposits, or 41 basis points adjusted for swap termination fees, cost of funds benefited from a decrease in the periods presented. Additionally, net interest incomecost of FHLB advances of 63 basis points as the average balance decreased 85.2% as a result of the prepayments in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Provision for Loan Losses

We did not record a provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was impacted by the recognition of income from the remaining purchase discount of $354 on a purchase-credit impaired loan that paid in full during the third quarter of 20172021 compared to a similar $619 recognition of income for$1,500 and $7,400 recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Our year-over-year average loan volume increased by approximately 10.4% from the first nine months of 2016 to the first nine months of 2017. Our combined loan and loan fee yield decreased from 5.17% to 4.90% for the first nine months of 2016 compared to 2017, respectively, while our combined loan and loan fee yield increased from 4.85% to 5.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to 2017,2020, respectively. The increased yield for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is attributable to the recognition of income from the remaining purchase discount of $354 on a purchase-credit impaired loan that paid in full during the third quarter of 2017.

Our yield on tax-exempt investments increased to 3.99% and 4.01%, respectively,provision expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, from 3.33% for the same periods in 2016. Our year-over-year average tax-exempt investment volume increased by approximately 41.5% and 47.5% from the first three and nine months of 2016 compared2020 can be primarily attributed to the same periods in 2017. Our year-over-year average taxable securities volume decreased by 9.9% and 26.2% from the first three and nine months of 2016 compared to the same periods in 2017. We have continued to add volume to our investment portfolio. A portion of the earnings growthexpected downturn in the tax-exempt investment portfolio related to the completion of a municipal bond replacement strategy that was implemented late in the fourth quarter of 2016 and completed in the first quarter 2017 and additional strategies that were implemented in 2017 that are expected to provide better yielding securities that are relatively less sensitive to rising interest rates and potential declines in corporate tax rates.

Our cost of funds increased from 0.43% to 0.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2017. Our cost of funds increased from 0.42% to 0.68% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in our cost of funds was driven mainly by higher rates being paid on time deposits and FHLB advances. We experienced a 7.2% increase and a 0.9% decrease in our average non-interest bearing deposits from the nine and three months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

We continue to deploy various asset and liability management strategies to manage our risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. We believe margin expansion over both the short and the long term will be challenging primarilyeconomy due to continued pressure on loan yields in our competitive marketsCOVID-19 as well as recent and anticipated increases in short term interest rates. Any increases in short-term market interest rates would be expected to increase our interest income on variable-rate loans, certain investments and interest rate swaps but may be offset by an increase in our cost of funds that is somewhat dependent on short-term interest rates.

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, should be adequate to provide coverage for the inherent losses on outstanding loans. Based upon management’s assessment of the loan portfolio, we adjust our allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis to an amount deemed appropriate to adequately cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Based upon our evaluation of the loan portfolio, we believe the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to absorb our estimate of probable losses existinggrowth in the loan portfolio, at September 30, 2017. While policieswhereas economic outlooks have improved in 2021, in part due to the federal stimulus programs and procedures used to estimatevaccine rollouts.


The acquired loan portfolios from First Advantage Bank and Community Bank & Trust are reserved for through fair value marks that consider both credit quality and changes in interest rates. See “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition - Allowance for Loan Losses” included herein for further analysis of the allowance for loan losses, as well as the resultant provision for loan losses charged to operations, are considered adequate by management, they are necessarily approximate and imprecise. There are factors beyond our control, such as conditions in the local and national economy, local real estate market, or particular industry or borrower-specific conditions, which may materially negatively impact our asset quality and the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and, thus, the resulting provision for loan losses.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $540 and $1,195, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $145 and $760, for loan losses recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Our provision for loan losses was impacted by the level of loan growth, the credit quality of the loan portfolio, and the amount of net charge-offs and recoveries.

The most significant reasonreasons for the changes in total non-interestnoninterest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 compared to the same periods in 2016 is2020 are the fluctuation in gains on mortgage loans sold, net. Thisnet as well as the increase in service charges, gain on securities transactions, and other factors impacting non-interest income are discussed further below.

from bank-owned life insurance.


Service charges on deposit accounts have remained generally flat and mainly reflect customer growth trends but have also beenare impacted by changes in our fee structures.

pricing structure to help attract and retain customers. The increase in service charges and fees was driven primarily by the incremental increase in transaction volume related to our acquisitions, as well as growth in the volume of our legacy deposit accounts.


Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, consists of fees from the origination and sale of mortgage loans. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. The mortgage banking business is directly impacted by the interest rate environment, increased regulations, consumer demand, and economic conditions. Mortgage production, especially refinance activity, typically rises in declining interest rate environments. Mortgage loans originated or purchased through correspondents for resale totaled $105,750 and $699,551 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $143,375 and $327,521 in the same periods in 2020 as a result of the productive market conditions produced by the low interest rate environment.

Securities gains and losses often fluctuate from period to period and can sometimes be attributable to various balance sheet risk strategies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, the Company sold securities totaling $58,855 with a gain of $5,514. Of this gain, $2,966 and $2,419 was realized to offset the effects of the swap termination fees incurred in the second quarter and third quarters, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold securities classified as available for sale, many of which were acquired in the TCB Holdings transaction, totaling $18,688$103,901 for gains of $59. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company sold securities classified as available for sale totaling $20,036, including $18,978 sold during the third quarter of 2016. The Company recognized a gain on sales of securities classified as available for sale of $296 and $356 for$327.

Noninterest income also includes income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), which increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, consists of fees2021 when compared to the the same period in 2020, driven by the additional policies acquired from the originationFABK and sale of mortgage loans. These mortgage fees are for loans originatedTCB Holdings transactions, additional policies purchased in 2020, and subsequently sold to third-party investors. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. Generally, mortgage related revenue increases in lower interest rate environments and more robust housing markets and decrease in rising interest rate environments and more challenging housing markets. Mortgage-related revenue will fluctuateproceeds from quarter to quarter as the rate environment changes and as changes occur with our mortgage operations including but not limited to the number of loan originators employed and the channels available for loan sales of the venture’s productsdeath benefit claims in the secondary markets. Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, amounted to $1,571 and $2,751 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $551 and $5,675 for the same periods in the prior year. As discussed further in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, gains on mortgage loans sold are generally recognized at the timethird quarter of a loan sale corresponding to the transfer of risk. The timing of this revenue recognition varies from the time a loan is originated with a customer. We completed the transition to dispose a majority of our out-of-market mortgage loan production offices during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 to better focus our marketing and other resources in our core Middle Tennessee markets. The decline in gains on mortgage loans sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was impacted by the transition. The increase in gains on mortgage loans sold during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was influenced by our new first-lien HELOC program.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a gain of $1 and $26, respectively, due to the recognition of a previously deferred gain from a payoff of a loan compared to a gain of $145 and $301 in the same periods in 2016 for similar transactions.

Non-interest income also includes appreciation in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance which was $219 and $595 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $194 and $557 for the same periods in, 2016.2021. The assets that support these policies are administered by the life insurance carriers and the income we receive (i.e., increases or decreases in the cash surrender value of the policies) is dependent upon the returns the insurance carriers are able to earn on the underlying investments that support the policies. Earnings on these policies generally are not taxable. An additional $4.0 million

The most significant reasons for the increase in total non-interest

Noninterest expense of $1,614 or 23.4% forincreased during the three months ended September 30, 20172021 when compared to September 30, 2020 which is due toprimarily driven by the increasemerger expenses incurred in audit, legal and consulting expenses 2021 and the increase in salariesincremental costs incurred following the TCB Holdings and employee benefits. The most significant reason for the decline in total non-interestFABK transactions. Noninterest expense of $913 or 3.9% forincreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is due to the decrease in salary and employee benefits2021 when compared to the same period in 2016. These and other factors impacting non-interest expense are discussed further below.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $863 or 21.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to2020 which is primarily driven by the same periodincremental costs incurred following the TCB Holdings and FABK transactions offset by the merger expenses incurred in 2016. This2020.


The 2.0% and 13.8% increase is attributable to the staffing of the Green Hills branch, the Chattanooga loan and deposit production office, and other strategic hires. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, salaries and employee benefits decreased by $660 or 4.6%. The decline is mainly attributable to the decrease in employee related expenses of the mortgage operations resulting from the transition of a majority of our out-of-market mortgage loan production offices during the second quarter of 2016 and was partially offset by staffing previously mentioned.

Certain of our facilities are leased while there are others that we own. Primarily, occupancy costs increased $83 and $76 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2016 dueSeptember 30, 2020 is primarily attributable to the full quarter of depreciationincrease in employees from the FABK transaction as well as our year-over-year growth. While staffing levels have normalized, we experienced an overall decrease in average FTEs from 422 for our new Green Hills location and a full quarter of depreciation and lease expense for our new Chattanooga location that opened in the first quarter of 2017 and the related depreciation for our new Mortgage office in Brentwood which opened in the second quarter of 2017.

Information technology costs increased by $146 and $75 or 24.9% and 4.1% when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 415 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and an increase from 364 for the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 to 419 for the comparable periods in 2016. These fluctuations are mainly attributable to the timing of project related activities.

Advertising and public relations costs decreased when comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to the same periods in 2016,2021.


Occupancy costs decreased by $36 and $338, respectively. The decrease was substantially attributable to a decline in our direct-mail advertising and related consultation expenditures and partially offset by the recently completed marketing campaign to increase core deposits. Additional customer acquisition strategies are being evaluated by the Company.

Audit, legal and consulting costs increased by $718 and $654, respectively,$16 or 218.9% and 65.9% when comparing0.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and increased $479, or 8.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to the same periods in 2016. This increase is mainly attributable to the $562 of merger related expenses in the third quarter of 2017.

Our FDIC expense is based on our outstanding liabilities for the period multiplied by a factor determined by the FDIC, mainly driven by our most recent regulatory rating and certain financial performance factors. Our FDIC expense decreased by $9 and $29, respectively for three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021 compared to the same periods in 2016. This decrease2020 as the FABK Transaction and the expansion of RMV increased costs in 2020 and is primarily the result of a reduction in the applicable rate which was partially offset by the increasebranch justification project that has resulted in average liabilities.

That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. For an adjusted efficiency ratio, we exclude certain gains, losses and expenses decreasedwe do not consider core to our business.


Our efficiency ratio of our banking segment was 51.7% and 51.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, respectively, compared to 50.5% and 63.2% for the same periods in 2016 mainly due to decreases in loan-related expenses such as processing costs relating to our mortgage operations as volume decreased2020. Our adjusted efficiency ratio, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 46.4% and our transitioning of several of our out-of-market mortgage offices to another bank, and the reversal of the lower of cost or market adjustment for loans held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

This increase was partially offset by a decrease in federal funds purchased of $3.7 million. These and other components of our consolidated balance sheets are discussed further below.


Loans


Lending-related income is the most importantlargest component of our net interest income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets, and it, therefore, generates the largest portion of revenues. The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. As previously discussed theThe competition for quality loans in our markets has remained strong. Our goal is to steadily grow our loan portfolio, focusing on quality. This is not always possible for various factors,reasons, including but not limited to scheduled maturities or early payoffs exceeding new loan volume.volume, as well as economic conditions. Early payoffs typically increase in loweringfalling rate environments as customers identify advantageous opportunities for refinancing. We have been adding experienced lending officers to our staff to help with loan growth. In the first quarter of 2017 we expanded outside Middle Tennessee into Chattanooga, one of the state’s fastest growing metropolitan markets. Our Chattanooga team as well as the lending staff in our new full-service branch in Green Hills opened in the first quarter of 2017 are expected to help us towards our goal of obtaining quality loan growth. Total loans, net of allowance for loan losses, at September 30, 2017,2021, and December 31, 2016,2020, were $739,738$2,368,936 and $657,701, respectively.

Renewal of such loans is subject to review and credit approval, as well as modification of terms upon their maturity. Consequently, we believe this treatment presents fairly the maturity and repricing structure of the loan portfolio.


Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate to absorb the probable incurred losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using historical loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, current economic conditions (national and local), and other factors such as changes in interest rates, portfolio concentrations, changes in the experience, ability, and depth of the lending function, levels of and trends in charged-off loans, recoveries, past-due loans and volume and severity of classified loans. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. All classified loans and loans on non-accrual status are individually evaluated for impairment. Factors considered in determining if a loan is impaired include the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the risk rating of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value (less estimated costs to sell) of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless the principal amount is deemed fully collectible, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. When recognition of interest income on a cash basis is appropriate, the amount of income recognized is limited to what would have been accrued on the remaining principal balance at the contractual rate. Cash payments received over this limit, and not applied to reduce the loans remaining principal balance, are recorded as recoveries of prior charge-offs until these charge-offs have been fully recovered.


At September 30, 2017,2021, the allowance for loan losses was $9,623$20,897 compared to $9,082$20,636 at December 31, 2016.2020. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.28%0.87% at September 30, 20172021 compared to 1.36%0.90% at December 31, 2016. The allowance was adjusted downward as a percent of total loans from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017. The increase in our allowance for loan losses is directly attributable to our loan growth and offset by our net charge offs and recoveries.

Investment Securities and Other Earning Assets


The investment securities portfolio is intended to provide the CompanyBank with adequate liquidity, flexible asset/liability management and a source of stable income. The portfolio is structured with minimal credit exposure to the Companyinvestment grade holdings and consists of securities classified as available-for-sale. All available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value and may be used for liquidity purposes should management deem it to be in our best interest. Unrealized gains and losses on this portfolio are excluded from earnings, but are reported as other comprehensive income in a separate component of stockholders’shareholders’ equity, net of income taxes. Premium amortization and discount accretion are recognized as adjustments to interest income using the interest method. Realized gains or losses on sales are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying value amount of the securities sold using the specific identification method.

Securities are a significant component of the Company’s earning assets.

Deposits


Deposits represent the Company’s largest source of funds. The Company competes with other bankbanks and nonbanknon-bank institutions for deposits, as well as with a growing number of non-deposit investment alternatives available to depositors such as money market funds and other brokerage investment products. Challenges to deposit growth include priceinterest rate changes on deposit products given movements in the interest rate environment and other competitive pricing pressures, and customer preferences regarding higher-costing deposit products or non-deposit investment alternatives.

During the first nine months of 2017,ended September 30, 2021, noninterest bearing demand deposits increased by $51,309, interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $60,531, savings and money market deposits increased by $13.7 million,$132,467, and time deposits increased by $71.7 million, while non-interest bearing demand and interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $2.7$275,837. Our team continues to focus on retaining low cost customer deposits and $6.0 million, respectively. A substantial portionhas utilized cash flow from mortgage loan sales in order to decrease higher cost time deposits.

Market and Liquidity Risk Management


Our objective is to manage assets and liabilities to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies. Our Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO)("ALCO") is charged with the responsibility of monitoring these policies, which are designed to ensure acceptable composition of asset/liability mix. Two critical areas of focus for ALCO are interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risk management.


Interest Rate Sensitivity—Interest rate sensitivity refers to the responsiveness of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to changes in market interest rates. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates. ALCO measures and evaluates the interest rate risk so that we can meet customer demands for various types of loans and deposits. ALCO determines the most appropriate amounts of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items to maximize long-term earnings and mitigate interest rate risk. Measurements we use to help us manage interest rate sensitivity include a gap analysis, an earnings simulation model and an economic value of equity model. These measurements are used in conjunction with competitive pricing analysis and are further described below.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap Analysis—The rate sensitive position, or gap, is the difference in the volume of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, at a given time interval, including both floating rate instruments and instruments which are approaching maturity. The measurement of our interest rate sensitivity, or gap, is one of the three principal techniques we use in our asset/liability management effort.

Our policy is to have 12 and 24-month cumulative repricing gaps that do not exceed 25% of assets. We were in compliance with our policy as of September 30, 2017. Although we do monitor our gap on a periodic basis, we recognize the potential shortcomings of such a model. The static nature of the gap schedule makes it difficult to incorporate changes in behavior that are caused by changes in interest rates. Also, although the periods of estimated and contractual repricing are identified in the analysis, the extent of repricing is not modeled in the gap schedule (i.e. whether repricing is expected to move on a one-to-one or other basis in relationship to the market changes simulated). For these and other shortcomings, we rely more heavily on the earnings simulation model and the economic value of equity model discussed further below.

Earnings Simulation ModelModel—We believe interest rate risk is effectively measured by our earnings simulation modeling. Earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments are combined with simulated forecasts of interest rates for the next 12 months and 24 months. To limit interest rate risk, we have guidelines for our earnings at risk which seek to limit the variancenegative variances of net interest income in instantaneous changes to interest rates. We also periodically monitor simulations based on various rate scenarios such as non-parallel shifts in market interest rates over time. For changes up or down in rates from a flat interest rate forecast over the next 12 and 24 months, our estimated change in net interest income as well as our policy limits are as follows:

We were in compliance with our earnings simulation model policies as of September 30, 2017,2021, indicating what we believe to be a fairly neutral interest-rate risk profile.


Economic valueValue of equityEquity ModelOur economic value of equity model measures the extent that estimated economic values of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items will change as a result of interest rate changes. Economic values are determined by discounting expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items, which establishes a base case economic value of equity.

Each of the above analyses may not, on its own, be an accurate indicator of how our net interest income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features (generally referred to as interest rate caps and floors) which limit changes in interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the maturity of certain instruments. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates. Our ALCO reviews each of the above interest rate sensitivity analyses along with several different interest rate scenarios as part of its responsibility to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies.


Liquidity Risk ManagementThe purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure that there are sufficient cash flows to satisfy loan demand, deposit withdrawals, and our other needs. Traditional sources of liquidity for a bank include asset maturities and growth in core deposits. A bank may achieve its desired liquidity objectives from the management of its assets and liabilities and by internally generated funding through its operations. Funds invested in marketable instruments that can be readily sold and the continuous maturing of other earning assets are sources of liquidity from an asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through attraction of increased deposits and borrowing funds from various other institutions and sources.


Changes in interest rates also affect our liquidity position. We currently price deposits in response to market rates and our management intends to continue this policy. If deposits are not priced in response to market rates, a loss of deposits could occur which would negatively affect our liquidity position.


Scheduled loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, but loan payoffs and deposit flows fluctuate significantly, being influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, competition, and the actions of our customers. Additionally, debt security investments are subject to prepayment and call provisions that could accelerate their payoff prior to stated maturity. We attempt to price our deposit products to meet our asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions. Our ALCO is responsible for monitoring our ongoing liquidity needs. Our regulators also monitor our liquidity and capital resources on a periodic basis.


The Company has established a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of CincinnatiFHLB, which is secured by a blanket pledge of 1-4 family residential mortgages, multi-family residential, commercial real estate, and home equity loans, and available-for-sale securities. At September 30, 2017,2021, FHLB advances totaled $56,720$0 compared to $32,287$10,000 as of December 31, 2016. 2020.

The increaseCompany has outstanding $23,000 of subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities issued by trusts that are affiliates of Reliant Bancorp, $10,000 of which is owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliant Bancorp. Reliant Bancorp has timely made its scheduled interest payments on these subordinated debentures since assumed in FHLB advances generallythe first quarter of 2018. As of September 30, 2021, Reliant Bancorp was current on all interest payments due related to its subordinated debentures. Reliant Bancorp has the right to defer the payment of interest on the subordinated debentures at any time, for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. During the period in which it is attributable to our increase in loans and securities and offset by our increase in deposits.

On December 13, 2019, Reliant Bancorp issued and sold $60,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029 (the “Subordinated Notes”). The Subordinated Notes bear interest at an initial rate of 5.125%, payable semi-annually until December 15, 2024, at which time the Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (provided, that in the event the three-month SOFR is less than zero, the three-month SOFR will be deemed to be zero), plus a spread of 376.5 basis points. If the three-month SOFR rises during the floating interest period, the cost of the Subordinated Notes will increase, thereby negatively affecting our FHLB advances and interest rates were as follows (scheduled maturities will differ from scheduled repayments):

Banks as regulated institutions are required to meetmaintain certain levels of capital. The Federal Reserve BoardBoard of Governors, the primary federal regulator for the Bank, has adopted minimum capital regulations or guidelines that categorize capital components and the level of risk associated with various types of assets. Financial institutions are expected to maintain a level of capital commensurate with the risk profile assigned to their assets in accordance with theapplicable regulations and guidelines. We regularly review our capital adequacy to ensure compliance with these regulations and guidelines and to help ensure that sufficient capital is available for current and future needs. It is management’s intent to maintain an optimal capital and leverage mix for growth and for shareholder return.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five bank capital classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At September 30, 2017,2021, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since thatthese notifications that management believes have changed the institution’s category. Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below as of September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 20162020 for Reliant Bancorp and the Company and Bank.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,U.S. GAAP, which requirerequires the measurement of financial positionpositions and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the performance of a financial institution than the effects of general levels of inflation. Although interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services, increases in inflation generally have resulted in increased interest rates. In addition, inflation affects financial institutions’ increasedinstitutions’ cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, and similar items. Inflation and related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and shareholders’ equity. Commercial and other loan originations and refinancingsrefinancing tend to slow as interest rates increase, and can reduce our earnings from such activities.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, even if the Company complies with the greater obligations of public companies that are not emerging growth companies, the Company may avail itself of the reduced requirements applicable to emerging growth companies from time to time in the future, so long as the Company is an emerging growth company. The Company will remain an emerging growth company for an initial five year period, though it may cease to be an emerging growth company earlier under certain circumstances, including if, before the end of such five years, it is deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC (which depends on, among other things, having a market value of common stock held by non-affiliates in excess of $700 million) or if total annual gross revenues equal or exceed $1.07 billion in a fiscal year. Management cannot predict if investors will find the Company’s common stock less attractive because it will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the Company’s common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for its common stock and the Company’s stock price may be more volatile.

Further, the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period that allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies, which means that the financial statements included in this filing, as well as the financial statements we will file in the future, will be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to private companies. As a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards to the same extent that compliance is required for non-public companies.

Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file andor submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION




Item 1.Legal Proceedings.

Commerce Union


Reliant Bancorp and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Reliantthe Bank, are periodically involved as a plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. Neither Commerce UnionReliant Bancorp nor Reliantthe Bank is involved in any litigation that is expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Management believes that any claims pending against Commerce UnionReliant Bancorp or its subsidiaries are without merit or that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from them will not materially affect Reliantthe Bank’s financial condition or Commerce Union’sReliant Bancorp’s consolidated financial position.


Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

Except as set forth below there have been


There are no material changes tofrom the risk factors includedset forth under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in ourReliant Bancorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

The merger of Commerce Union and Community First may not be completed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, future operations, and stock price.

Completion of the merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, in each case without the imposition of a materially burdensome condition. If we are not successful in obtaining the required regulatory approvals, the merger will not be completed. Even if the regulatory approvals are received, the timing of the regulatory approvals and any conditions imposed by the regulatory approvals could result in certain closing conditions of the merger not being satisfied.

Consummation of the merger is also conditioned upon other customary closing conditions, including (1) the approval of the merger agreement by Community First’s shareholders and the approval by our shareholders of the issuance of stock by Commerce Union in connection with the merger, (2) the absence of any order, decree, injunction, or law enjoining or prohibiting the merger, (3) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 for the shares of common stock to be issued by Commerce Union in connection with the merger, and (4) the authorization for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market of the shares to be issued by Commerce Union in connection with the merger. Each party’s obligation to complete the merger is also subject to certain additional customary conditions. Additionally, Commerce Union’s obligation to complete the merger is subject to holders of not more than 7.5% of the outstanding shares of Community First’s common stock perfecting their rights to dissent from the merger. If a condition to either party’s obligation to consummate the merger is not satisfied, that party may be able to terminate the merger agreement and, in such case, the transaction would not be consummated.

If the merger is not completed, our ongoing business and financial results may be adversely affected and we will be subject to several risks, including the following:

the price of our common stock may decline to the extent that its current market prices reflect a market assumption that the merger will be completed;

having to pay significant costs relating to the merger without receiving any benefits arising from the merger;

negative reactions from customers, shareholders and market analysts; and

the diversion of the focus of our management to the merger instead of on pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to our business.

If the merger is not completed, our business may be adversely affected by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of our management team on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $2.1 million to Community First.

Integrating Community First Bank into Reliant Bank’s operations may be more difficult, costly, or time-consuming than we expect.

Reliant Bank and Community First Bank have operated and, until the bank merger is completed, will continue to operate, independently. Accordingly, the process of integrating Community First Bank’s operations into Reliant Bank’s operations could result in the disruption of operations or the loss of Community First Bank customers and employees, and could make it more difficult to achieve the intended benefits of the merger. Inconsistencies between the standards, controls, procedures, and policies of Reliant Bank and those of Community First Bank could adversely affect Reliant Bank’s ability to maintain relationships with current customers and employees of Community First Bank if and when the bank merger is completed.

As with any merger of banking institutions, business disruptions may occur that may cause Reliant Bank to lose customers or may cause Community First Bank’s customers to withdraw their deposits from Community First Bank prior to the merger’s consummation and from Reliant Bank thereafter. The realization of the anticipated benefits of the merger may depend in large part on our ability to integrate Community First Bank’s operations into Reliant Bank’s operations, and to address differences in business models and cultures. If we are unable to integrate the operations of Community First and Community First Bank into our and Reliant Bank’s operations successfully and on a timely basis, some or all of the expected benefits of the acquisition may not be realized. Difficulties encountered with respect to such matters could result in an adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, capital, liquidity, or cash flows of Reliant Bank and our company.

We may fail to realize the cost savings anticipated from the merger.

Although we anticipate that we would realize certain cost savings as to the operations of Community First and Community First Bank and otherwise from the merger if and when the operations of Community First and Community First Bank are fully integrated into our and Reliant Bank’s operations, it is possible that we may not realize all of the cost savings that we have estimated we can realize from the merger. For example, we may be required to continue to operate or maintain functions that are currently expected to be combined or reduced as a result of the merger. Our realization of the estimated cost savings also will depend on our ability to combine the operations of our company and Reliant Bank with the operations of Community First and Community First Bank in a manner that permits those costs savings to be realized. If we are not able to integrate the operations of Community First and Community First Bank into our and Reliant Bank’s operations successfully and to reduce the combined costs of conducting the integrated operations of the two banks, the anticipated cost savings may not be fully realized, if at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Our failure to realize those cost savings could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, capital, liquidity, or cash flows.

The issuance of the stock consideration to Community First’s shareholders and the issuance of the shares in the private placement may decrease the market price of our common stock.

We issued 1,137,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the private placement of our shares, and as consideration for the merger, we will issue approximately 2,417,450 additional shares of our common stock to Community First’s shareholders. These two transactions together will result in our shareholders’ existing share ownership being diluted by an aggregate of approximately 3,554,450 new shares, which represents 45.3% of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to the closing of the private placement. The dilution associated with the issuance of new shares of common stock in the private placement and/or the merger may result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock, including a stock price decrease, and could materially impair our earnings per share and other per share financial metrics.

The combined company will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the merger.

We expect to incur significant costs associated with combining the operations of Community First with our operations. We recently began collecting information in order to formulate detailed integration plans to deliver anticipated cost savings. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of our business with the business of Community First. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction and merger-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

Whether or not the merger is consummated, each of Commerce Union and Community First will incur substantial expenses, such as legal, accounting, and financial advisory fees, in pursuing the merger which will adversely impact its earnings.

We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending, which could adversely affect our business and operations.

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Reliant Bank. Uncertainties surrounding the merger may impair the ability of one or more of Commerce Union, Reliant Bank, Community First, and/or Community First Bank to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with either of the banks to seek to change their existing business relationships with such bank.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Commerce Union is subject to certain restrictions on its business prior to completing the merger, which may adversely affect our ability to execute certain of our business strategies. In addition, the merger agreement restricts Community First and Community First Bank from taking other specified actions until the merger occurs without our consent, such as acquiring or disposing of assets, incurring indebtedness, or incurring capital expenditures. These restrictions may prevent Community First and Community First Bank from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger. Such limitations could negatively impact Community First’s or Commerce Union’s businesses and operations prior to the completion of the merger.
